Sapphire

Amazed

"I should have called, shouldn't I?" Drew questioned when she saw the look on Reve's face.

"No, not at all! I mean, I'm surprised but, in a good way." He assured her with a smile. "I'm glad you made time to see me. Do you want to come inside?" He offered, opening the door wider.

Drew shook her head slightly. "No. I'd rather not. I mean, we need to talk but it should be away from here." She stated nervously.

"I don't know where else we could go, Drew. I can't risk being seen around here." Reve hesitated. "Everyone thinks I'm dead. It has to be kept that way."

Sighing, Drew held up her keys. "Fancy going for a drive?"

~Flashback~

"This has got to be the craziest thing I've ever seen!" Reve stands there admiring the site in front of him. "In a good way." He added.

Drew gave out a small laugh. "I found this place when I ran away from home. The third time." She shook her head at the memory.

"How have I not heard of this?" Reve questions in awe. "I'm amazed!" He earned a serious glare from Drew. "Sorry." He quickly apologized.

"I don't know why they don't promote it. I guess they'd prefer it to be quite and keep it to a minimum amount of people." Drew shrugged.

Reve glanced at Drew and then back at the endless amount of bookshelves in front of him. "So it's basically a giant room with a maze created from bookshelves and you have to do what exactly?" He asks, still trying to comprehend the whole purpose.

"Well, you know those lights there?" Drew points to the entrance lights and Reve nods. "Those are the only lights. Beyond that, it's just pure darkness. When you first enter, you get given a flashlight that only holds five minutes of battery." She pauses to see if Reve is keeping up with her explanation. "Then you have to find other sources of light using the flashlight-"

"And you can search for the books on this list they gave us!" He finishes for her, holding up the piece of paper in his hand. "Okay, but how are we supposed to find these..." He counts how many books are listed. "...Twelve books out of the thousands there'll be?"

Rolling her eyes, Drew shakes her head. "Obviously they have multiple copies of the same books!"

"But what if you don't find another source of light before the flashlight they give us-" Reve is cut off by Drew.

"Shut up. Stop asking stupid questions. You know the rules, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" She pulls him by the hand and approaches the worker by the door. He hands her a flashlight and Drew comes to a halt before she reaches he doors.

"What is it?" Reve asks.

"We should probably look at the names of the books beforehand. So we already know what we're looking for." She explains.

They both study the list together. "I've never even heard of that one." Reve points to the name on the list.

"Neither have I." Drew admits in agreement. "Breakfast At Tiffany's!" Drew exclaims. "I've only ever seen the movie. Although, I have always wanted to read the book."

Reve gasps and fakes disappointment. "Even I've read the book. Shame on you, Drew Lancet!" He shakes his head in disapproval.

"Oh, come on!" She drags him through the entrance of the maze with her. "You look on the left shelf and I'll look on the right." Drew turns to her left but is stopped by Reve's hand catching her arm.

"We only have one flashlight, genius!" Reve teases.

Feeling a sense of humilliation, Drew turns to her left and searches the bookshelf, knowing Reve will follow behind anyway. "Yay!" She excitedly squeals.
