Jim's pov
After training I went down to the library to see how my friends were doing, with the book assignment. When I got there, I saw Tobes lying on the floor groaning, his head on a stack of books and Claire was gone. I raced to my friend.
"Tobes, what happened to you?" I asked.
"I am 97% sure my brain melted." I sighed.
"Did you find the picture?"
"Nope."
"Where's Claire?"
"She left me to suffer. Also she wanted to hang with her baby brother. And she got grounded."
"Why?"
"No clue."
"What do you want to do now?"
"I guess keep looking for the book. I wanna see why she was in the book."
"Maybe it would be quicker to just ask Blinky." I stated. He nodded in agreement, I helped him up and we left to find Blinky. After 5 minutes of wandering around Trollmarket, we found him in the library. We were just here! I complained to myself. Toby sighed in disappointment.
"Hey, Blinky, do you-" I was cut off by the troll.
"I am not Blinky! We look nothing alike!" He yelled at me. Though they actually looked identical, despite this troll having a deeper voice. And blue eyes. Toby screamed and ran out.

Toby's pov
I screamed and ran out of there as fast as I could to go find Blinky. I ran around Trollmarket before finding him talking to Draal. I kept running then fell on my face, panting.
"Tobias?" He asked. "What is it."
"IT'S YOU, BUT NOT YOU, BUT YOU! IN THE LIBRARY!" I panicked.
"Where's Master Jim?" Jim! I forgot Jim!
"In-in the library!" I got up and ran, Blinky chasing me down. Draal just stood there wondering what was happening. We got to the library and the other troll was holding Jim by his neck in the air, choking him. His amulet on the other side of the room.
"Dictatious Maximus Galadrigal! Put the boy down now!" Blinky yelled. He was clearly ticked off. The troll dropped Jim turning his attention to Blinky.
"Why, if it isn't lil Blinky Winky." Dictatious taunted. "I see you've kept my books."
"If they didn't have knowledge, I would have burned them a long time ago." Blinky retorted.
    "Wow, little bro, you got a bad attitude. Let me get rid of that for you." He charged at Blinky, ready to punch him. But when he swung his fist, Blinky caught it and flipped him over. I ran to Jim.
    "Hey, you ok?" I asked him. He groaned. I looked over my shoulder to see Draal help out with the fight.

Plot twist! We have Blinky's brother here!
