She was standing near a shop, waiting for someone. We went to her and said,"Excuse me".
She turned towards us and said," Yes".
" Why did you give us this paper?" Elsa asked.
" A woman told me to give it to you. I just did what I was told", she said.
"Who was the woman? Do you know her?" I asked her.
"No , I don't know her. Wait she is standing there", she said pointing towards the nearby building.
"Thank you. May I know your name"? I said to her.
" Maria Mark", she said.
"Ok. Thanks Maria", I said and we rushed towards the woman.
She saw us coming and started running away. We increased our speed. Suddenly she got inside a narrow lane. We went inside it too but were shocked. She had disappeared but there was no way through the lane. There just stood a big wall.
"Where did she disappeare?" said Elsa.
"God what is happening? There was no way yet she disappeared", I said and sat down on the floor.
My wounds had started paining due to this continuous game of hide and seek.
"Are you okay Kiara?" Elsa asked bending towards me.
"Yes. I am fine", I said.
Suddenly a thought struck my mind. I took out my phone and opened the message, the same message which I received last night. I saw the picture again and was shocked.
The woman who just disappeared in the air was the same as in the picture. She was wearing the same weird dress. I showed it to Elsa and she was shocked too.
I also recognised the building behind her. It was the same ancient library. Now I understood why I felt as if I bad seen the library before.
"Kiara! Who sent you this picture?" she asked me.
"It was sent by an unknown number", I said.
I showed her the caption too which was with the picture. She tried to read it and suddenly said, "It is in a code language. We have to decode it".
"Code language!" I said confusingly.
"Yes, do you find something strange in this message?" she asked me.

"I can see that it is written in mixed case", I said.
"I got it", she exclaimed.
"What", I asked.
"Read only the capital letters of each word and you will get its meaning", she said.
I did so. It read:--
"YOUR NEXT HELP"
"Your next help. It means that the girl was here ro help us", she said.
"But why did she run away on seeing us and who was she?" I said and I was still confused.
"This we can know by finding whose number it is. I think that the mobile company can tell us whose number it is", she said.
"We will do that later. First let us go to the library and check out those articles." I said.
We went back to the library and headed towards the second floor.
