Keeping Him Sane (An Add x Reader Story)

Chapter 4

I have to rethink some of my ideas before I can get this under control. Until then, please enjoy what I've written so far in this chapter.

         "Whoa...this place. It's huge," (y/n) whispered. Add took note of her awe at the library's size. He now wondered what else made her behave this way as he lowered them to one of the lower levels of the library.

         The rectangular split in the earth was its entrance and there were a total of seven floors that were approximately twenty feet in height. That amounted to about 140 feet of possible distance to fall to one's death. Then each floor was split by the entrance of course making it seem like two separate sets of seven floors but it was all the same. Both sides of each floor were evenly measured by Add himself. The dimensions were fourty feet by sixty feet on each side of all seven floors.

          Add counted the floors starting from the top since they were closer to the surface. It made more sense to him to do it this way rather than call the floor that was deepest in the earth, floor one. Instead, the first floor was the one closest to the sky and it went in that order.

         The gap between the floors where he and (y/n) now floated was about twenty  feet aross. Rather than plain rock at each end, there were twin waterfalls that faced each other and ran down into the three feet of water at the bottom of the library.

     Add still hadn't figured out how the water constantly kept itself going. Perhaps it was the library's enchantment. The same enchantment that kept anyone from hearing the waterfalls' crashing sound while on the surface, or on one of the floors of the library. It was also the same enchantment that kept the books from falling into the water down below but this same enchantment was the same one that had cursed him. The same enchantment that kept him bound to this library until he could figure out how to break it's spell.

         "Add, is this...where you live?" (y/n) asked. He simply nodded in answer. "How old are you?" she asked.

         "I'm eight right now," he said. He didn't know why she was suddenly asking such questions but he answered anyway despite the inquiry being a bit of a nuisance.

        "Does anyone else live here with you?" she asked. For a split second he thought to answer her but he realized she would keep asking questions if he did not stop her.

       "Do you have to ask so many questions?" Add asked with clear annoyance.

        "Uh, sorry," she muttered. She stayed silent after that. He took them to the last floor, the seventh floor. It was were all of the rooms were.

         The library must have once been owned by someone wealthy because the seventh floor was where the library's servants would live. Add had figured that out quite easily. On the sixth floor, there were rows and rows of tables and chairs for those who sat down to read. The fifth, third, second, and first floor were filled with nothing but books on almost any subject. The fourth floor was where all of the study rooms were.

         Add had cleaned one out and made it his lab. They were very large study rooms so there were only five on that floor. Once Add had gone to the seventh floor, he went towards the room that he considered his own. He hardly ever spent time there but he still had a room. He stopped in front of his door and put (y/n) down. He motioned to the room across from his own and said, "This is your room. Stay in there until I come back for you. Understand?"

         (Y/n) was about to protest but he put his finger to her lips to silence her. "Understand?" he asked again. (Y/n) nodded in reply. "Good," he said then he removed his finger from her lips and opened the door to her new room.
