A Scare At The Library - (Chapter 1)

1:30 p.m, October 7th 2019, Monday

Inside the doors of a local library located in London, people were seen either talking quietly or reading books. A librarian came walking by carrying books in their hands only to put them away in their respective shelves. After that, a fellow worker walked up to them and hand over a bunch of folders that were filled with papers to them. The librarian continues to work as they went downstairs to the library's basement. Once down there, the librarian became putting the papers into a tall filing cabinet. They kept doing for for a couple of minutes till they heard sounds of papers blowing around the walls in a different part of the basement.

The librarian ignores and goes back to work, but was stopped again by the sounds of glass breaking. The librarian rose an eyebrow. However, the librarian wasn't the only one who was down there. The librarian went to find the source of sound before coming across a filing cabinet that was covered in some sort of slime. Weird. The librarian continued their investigation only to come from a corner that totally scared them for dear life as they let out a loud scream at the sight of it.

"So you're telling us, that this librarian here saw something that caused her to be like this?" asked a voice. "Yes sir" said another voice that sounded gruff. "Well that's a good sign then. Is the library cleared out mister police chief?" asked the first voice. "Yes. When the librarian screamed this was a cue to get everybody out so that the police can come. By the way, what's your name again?" asked the police chief. "It's Edd. Edd Gold" said Edd. "Okay, Mr. Gold, who's your friends?" asked the police chief.

"The one that's trying to get the attention of one of your officers is Matt Hargraves while the one with no eyes holding a tracking scanner is Tom Ridgestone" said Edd. "Okay. Got it. Now what makes you think that we'll let you three go inside?" asked the police chief. "We're not just your average everyday people, I'm studying in the fields of science but mostly supernatural activity such as ghost, hexes, and whatnot. Plus I also have a degree in animation and sports" said Edd. "That's sweet, but nobody would ever believe a single word that came flying out of your mouth" said the police chief. "That's not true. Matt help me out, can you tell this nice lovely person that we know what we're doing?" asked Edd. "Sure! We have no idea what we're doing" said Matt.

Edd then facepalms while letting out a heavy sigh before seeing Tom standing by the librarian checking on her with the scanner. "Hm, can you tell me your name real quick?" asked Tom. "My name is Samantha Johnson and I work here at the library" said Samantha. "Nice to meet you Samantha. Can you recall the events that happened before you were brought outside?" asked Tom. "I'll try. I was in the basement putting away some papers till I heard sounds coming from the other side. I first ignored it till I heard the sounds of glass breaking before going over there to see what it was. Along the way, I saw slime on one of the cabinets before seeing something truly horrifying" said Samantha.

"Hold on a minute, did you just say slime?" asked Tom. "Yeah, why?" asked Samantha. "Heh, no figure. Edd! We're going in, the librarian told me that she saw slime. That means there's bond to be something in that library" said Tom. "Ah yeah! Move your men out of the way, we're heading inside now" said Edd. "Inside for what?" asked the police chief. "Don't question what I said. There's a ghost that needs to captured" said Edd.

After convincing the police chief, Edd, Tom, and Matt were allowed to enter the library and head straight towards doorway that leads down the basement before stopping. "This is the basement that the librarian was talking about" said Tom. "I see. Now that you think about it, this library has been here for over a hundred years so it might be haunted" said Edd. "I have a feeling that you're probably right Edd" said Tom. "Anyway, let's go" said Edd. "Nuh uh, I'm not going down there. Too dark, plus I'll probably miss my step and fall down the stairs" said Matt.

"Ugh.... oh look you're still going down. Let's go" said Tom. "Hey!" shouted Matt. Tom ignores the protests of Matt as he walked, well dragged, Matt by his sleeve down the steps that went to the basement. Edd who was down there already was standing in front the entrance as he stopped Tom and Matt. "I just felt something. Tom do you have that scanner working?" asked Edd. "Yes I do" said Tom.

Edd and Matt got out of the way as Tom went by them holding the scanner up high in his hands. Tom walked to the place where the librarian was at as the scanner picked up readings. "Hm, it seems that this where the supernatural first started, but by moving forward, the scanner might go crazy with the levels" said Tom. The trio continued making their way through the basement as they eventually found the file cabinet that had slime on it. "Woah guys, look at this" said Edd. "What is it?" asked Matt.

"This appears to be slime that the librarian was talking about. I need to get a sample of it" said Tom. "Eww...you can't be serious right?" asked Matt. "Of course I'm serious Matt. If you're going to complain about it, you might as well help me" said Tom. Matt lets out a disappointed whine which Tom shrugs off as he pulled out a test tube from coat pocket. "Okay Matt, I want you find like a paper or something" said Tom. Matt notices a paper on the ground before picking it up.

"Alright, now try scraping the slime off as much as you can into this test tube" said Tom. Matt proceeds to scrap the slime off of the contents of the filing cabinet, filling the rest tube up. "Perfect! That should be enough to analyze it. Thanks Matt" said Tom. Tom then notices that Edd continued on before going after him leaving Matt who was trying to get the slime off of his hands. It wasn't till some of it landed on his coat sleeve. "Gross....." said Matt.

Matt picks up two other pieces of paper off the ground and begins wiping the slime with them. When he was done, he went to see where Edd and Tom went. Matt finds them standing frozen, eyes wide. "Hey guys, what's with the shocked looks?" asked Matt. "Shhh....Matt, do you see what we're seeing right now?" asked Edd. "No. What are you looking at exactly?" asked Matt.

"Take a good look for yourself" said Tom. Matt scoffs at this before seeing a blue female ghost standing by a bookcase reading a book. "Woah, she looks pretty. What's a girl like her doing here?" asked Matt. "Matt, it's clearly obvious that the scanner picked up strange readings and it turns out that this ghost is behind it all" said Tom. "Oh. Umm...what now fearless leader?" asked Matt. "Ahh...I haven't planned this far ahead and besides, Tom was in charge on bringing the equipment" said Edd.

"Excuse me? I have you know that it's still a work in progress" said Tom. "Well if we can't catch it, err...her I mean, one of us should talk to her" said Edd. "Don't look at me, I'm not talking to her" said Matt. "I agree with Matt on this. You're the one who wanted to catch a ghost in action. You should be the one to go" said Tom. "Fine. I'm going" said Edd. Edd walks forward to the female ghost till he was at ear range.

"Uhh...hi there. I hate to be rude, but you're kinda like haunting this library here. Can you please leave?" asked Edd. The female ghost looks at Edd before hushing him. Edd walks back to Tom and Matt. "So, how did it go?" asked Tom. "She's not leaving even if we ask her nicely. We tried this the easy way, now we're doing this the hard way" said Edd. "Are we doing what I think we're going to do?" asked Matt.

"Yes Matt, we are. We're going to attack her as a group. On my count of three, we pounce" said Edd. Edd, Tom, and Matt grouped up in one line as they moved by each number. "1.....2.......3!!! GET HER!!!" yelled Edd. The trio let out their battle cries which alerted the ghost into turning into a cyclops like ghost as she angrily roared at them. This managed to scare them into running away and back outside, passing by the police chief. "Hey boys, how was ghost catching?" asked the police chief. "It went good. We need some time to ourselves. See ya!" said Edd.
