From Elizabeth's POV

Melanie darted inside the library, so being a terrific friend, I followed her inside.  As I went up the steps, I wondered if this was against the law.  What if I get arrested?  Brushing my nerves aside, I walked in.

"Melanie, are you in here?" Her slim figured raced on the old oak floors. "Melanie, I see you."  Following the direction of her shadow, I went to find her. 

As I was searching, I noticed that there were no books on the shelves.  Strange.  Even though the mystery lingered, I had to find a Melanie.

The longer I searched, the more I became in need of her accompaniment.  You were just going to leave us there.  Why?  Because you were too afraid.  You're just going to ruin my Halloween because of an emotion you'll feel for what?  15 mins.  Such a disgrace.  I better teach her a lesson.  I looked harder.  My body turned sharply around every corner, trying to find the girl scared out of her heart and soul.  My legs carried me faster and faster until I was almost running.

Just then , I heard a loud scream.  I froze.  Elizabeth, you have to go.  I started to head towards the entrance so I could leave.  But wait, what about Melanie? 

Shaking like a muskrat sighting a falcon, I tiptoed to where I thought the sound was coming from.  I turned the corner to where the Study Palace was.  I took one glance inside and let out a scream.
