??? POV

I stood on my tip toes and leaned towards the bookcase. Balancing on one foot I pushed a book into it's place on the shelf.

The door swung open and slammed shut abruptly. I feel off my weird assortment of  random furniture and old books landing on the floor. A few half-dozen books falling on my head. I mumble to myself and look up.

A girl about fifteen stood at the door. Her face was red and streaks of mud muddied her features. Her splash of freckles across her nose and sparkling green eyes still showed through the grime.

She breathed out sharply and pulled of a brown hood. Dark hair fell across her shoulders. "Akira!" I grinned shaking the dust off my self and stood. "Are you okay?" She nodded.

"Ben!" A man walked into the center room and fixed his glasses. His gray hair stood on end and a sour look was plastered across his face as he glared at me. "What was the noise?" I looked up sheepishly. "Well. You see-" I started to say. "Saxon. Don't blame him."Akira said in my defense. The old man looked at her and grinned. "Akira. So sorry. " He bowed slightly. "M'lady" Akira dipped to his height.

"What brings you here your highness​?" Akira winced slightly. "Im her to return a book." She reached into her satchel and pulled out a thick blue book. A glass slipper was printed on the cover. Saxon grabbed it "How was it?" Akira grinned and explained the whole story. I zoned out a bit catching a few words her and there. Glass slipper. Prince. Ball. Midnight. And cleaning. She grinned. "So" she dragged the 'o' out. "Do you have any new books?" The old man scratched his chin. "Oh, yes I do. " He walked behind his desk and picked up and yellow-gold book and handed it to her. A silouttee of a rose was printed on the cover. Akira grabbed it and flipped through it. "It looks brand new!" Saxon smiled. "That might be because it IS." He rubbed his palms together. " It's from France and I'm happy it's in good condition." She closed it. "What's it about?" Saxon sat in his chair. "Something about a girl in an old French town. Her father was taken by a beast and she took his place. I believe theirs something about talking furniture."

I stuffed my hands in my pockets and poked a book with my foot. Akira nooded and sat in the corner in an old rocking chair  and opened the book.

"Ben." Saxon said. I cocked my head and he motioned towards the books. I sighed and picked them up and started to place them back on the shelf listening to the fireplace crackle softly.
