Curiosity

Prologue

Darkness. Thats all i see. I try to monover my way around the area im in. I gently bring my fingers to grasp and feel to whatever i touch. I feel cold stone walls. Their rough but slick to the touch. I crawl on my hands and knees touching the floor beneath me. Its both dusty and cold. I look around yet find nothing but blackness in my vision. I begin to panic not knowing where and why im here. I may not get out. I might die here?! Calm down breathe Aiden breathe.

I begin to breathe in and out quickly. I can't seem to catch my breath. I grasp the wall as i try to focus on my breathing. In and out. Tears stream down my face as i curl against the wall. I focus on my breathing and close my eyes tightly. I just rest my head on my knees with my hands by my sides. I breathe in slowly and try to remember what happened before this. As i rack my brain for something i just remember bits and pieces.

I was working. I was at the school library on the computer looking up and searching for events that are happening for my college paper. I was going and clicking event after event but nothing seemed to catch my attention. I was skiming through when i saw the disappearances in meadow oaks. I was reading up on how these people would disappear without a trace. And how they would simply be gone and never seen again. I was reading on a person that was a victim Lydia Rhodes. That name seems really familiar. I was reading on the events that took place when i hear a loud bang behind me. I turn around quickly to find the librarian behind me hunched over picking up the books that had fallen. I quickly stand and go help her.
"Thankyou hun" the old woman smiles to me.
"You're welcome m'am" i say as i return the smile. As i help her pick up the books i notice the choice in books is quite odd.
Life after death
Special abilities
Dark and light

The blo-
" Young man i dont appreciate you examining my books." the old woman grits through her teeth
"Im sorry they're just really interesting an-"
"i don't care now, thank you for your help but we are closing and it's time for you to go"
"Okay uhm bye" i wave. I begin to walk away when the lady calls me my name. I freeze.
"Remember Aiden curiosity killed the cat".
I quickly gather my things and walk out of the library into the December air. I calm my ragged breathing and just simply calm my mind and settle that the old woman might've seen my name tag on something or heard it somwhere. No biggie.

Her words replay in my head. "Remember Aiden curiosity killed the cat" and then i remember nothing after that.

I sit in the darkness replaying the same words she said. Her frail hollowed voice saying those words curiosity killed the cat . what does she mean by that?
************************************
Aiden Woods. 19 years old. In college and has his whole life ahead of him. He never knew his real parents but his grandmother raised him since he could remember. All he knows his that they just got

up and left and never said anything on coming back. They dropped him off at his grandmother's door step witha note saying 'im sorry'. He's always been suspicious and curious to the world around him. Could possibly his curiosity have him killed? Or reveal much more to the life he couldn't possibly remember? Like the saying goes curiosity killed the cat.
