Chapter 2

“Wrong.”

“Death.” Matt tried.

“Wrong.” The invisible being spoke.

We have been trying for more than thirty minutes to enter Mark library but there is an invisible creature type thingy who is stop us from entering the library. It keeps asking for a password.

“Blood!” Jay yelled.

“Err! Wrong.” It repeated.

“What can be his password?” Jimmy asked us.

“I don’t know. Every time I watch Mark enter his library I see him having hiccups or something.” Neil thought aloud.

Something then clicked to me.

“‘Ie’.” I tried but it declined. “‘Ie’.”

“Close.” The creature spoke then I tried again.

“What are you trying to do?” Jimmy asked me with a confused face.

“I’m trying to say the password.” I shot back

“So, what is ‘Ie’ ‘Ie’.” Jimmy imitated me.

“Neil said that Mark does something doing with hiccups so-” I started.

“‘Ie.’” Neil tried, knowing what I was trying to explain.

“You may come in.” the invisible being spoke as the huge wooden door opened

“Yes!” Neil exclaimed.

We all entered the library and saw massive neatly stacked books. There was dim lighting and but enough light for us to read.

“Whoa. This is dream land!” Neil exclaimed jumping at the sight of the many books.

“This is death.” Matt muttered to me. Matt is so lazy that he doesn’t even like to read.

“Where do we start from?” Jake asked eyeing a bunch of books in the corner.

“I’ll look there and-” Neil started

“I found it!” Jay shouted from the end of the book shelf.

He ran to the huge table and pinned the book on the table. We all ran to him and surrounded him.

“What language is this?” Jay asked in a twisted expression.

The font was in cursive and was weird and surprisingly hard to read. I just stared at the book blankly.

“Let me see.” Neil offered and took Jay’s place and tried to read.

Neil picked up the book studied it carefully and then put the book back on place.

“This is the first time, I’m saying this. I don’t understand a word.” Neil admitted then Matt chuckled and push his way through us.

“Guys relax, it’s just English.” Matt took the book and turned it

“See!” the book was upside down.

We’ve been have trying to read, upside down. So embarrassing.

“The dumb has gone smart and the smart has gone dumb.” Neil muttered to himself.

Matt look at him with his one-eye look. “It’s so heart-breaking.”
Neil clutched his chest and turned away

“My existence is a lie... A lie.” He trailed past me.

Dramatic crap.

“You’re dead anyways.” I snapped. Neil just glared at me and walked away to Jimmy.
