Elisse's POV

The three of us run down to the first floor. Venice wants us to go around the school. I just hope no one is around this time.

Finally, we are here on the first floor. And gasping for breath. Why didn't Venice just think of teleporting?

"I think we should just have teleported." Said Venice. Why did she just think of that now?

"Oh? What are we going to do? Let's just stand here?" Suzy asked Venice.

"Try it. Let's go around. We haven't been to some places here yet. Let's go to the library. Oh, just to the Dining Hall. But I'm still full. In the Mirror room! Or in the Spell Laboratory!" Venice exclaimed.

"Let's start at the nearest. Let's go to the Library." Said Suzy.

The library is only here on the first floor so we just walked. As I thought, we were the only ones roaming around the school. The students are all in their respective dorm rooms.

And here we are. Standing in front of the big red door. Suzy opened the big door and we entered. Only high bookshelves are here and full of books!

It is the Library right, Elisse?

It is not just ordinary books are here. These are flying books!

"Oh my gosh! Why didn't I know there was something like this here?" Venice asked.

"Shhh!" A librarian reprimanded us.

"Sorry." Venice said softly to the librarian.

We sat at a vacant table. We are really the only ones inside here. Venice was so stubborn. So here we are today.

"I'll just find a book to read." I told them.

I went to the nearest bookshelf in our spot. There are a lot of bookshelves and countless books in here. It is difficult to find a book.

And finally, it took me a while to find what I could read but I did find something. Its cover is black but has no title written on it. Strange.

I took that book and went back to our table. Venice and Suzy are also reading a book. I would like to ask them what kind of book I am holding. But I might just disturb them.

I opened the book and started reading it.

"Dark Shadow." That's probably the title.

I turned the page. I saw a woman in black dress with a black butterfly in her hand. Well, that's just a drawing. But surprisingly, it doesn't even have a description. Even a letter.

I looked at the next page. It's a black butterfly. Now, there is a description.

"The black butterfly is the symbol of the Dark Shadow." That's all written.

It is difficult to understand. I just put that book back on the bookshelf. I don't understand a single thing. I don't even know what the Dark Shadow is.

"Elisse, let's go to the Spell Laboratory." Said Venice.

"All right." I said.

We left the library quietly. We went  upstairs to the second floor. As we walked down the corridor of the second floor, this Venice suddenly entered a room. She did not even knock on the door.

"Good morning pixies!" Said Venice. Pixies? Who is Venice talking to? I don't see anything or anyone.

"Pixies. They are the little creatures. They are alike to fairies but they do not transform into human." Suzy explained.
