Runaway (ON HOLD)

The Library

Okay guies, i rewrote a bit of the last chapter. it doesn't change the main idea of the chapter, but it fills in a few details for later. And it was kind of a filler chapter so it wouldn't hurt to go back through and reread the whole thing.

After wandering this HUGE stinking ship for a good thirty minutes, my anger slowly draining with every step I took. It left me with a hollowing feeling of guilt for yelling at the Doctor and Rory, and fear for if my dream about Calum held any semblance of truth.

I'd ended up in several different rooms that all funneled back out into a hallway, but as soon as as I admitted to myslef that I wasn't angry anymore, gigantic, glossy, beautiful double doors made of holly and set in swirled marble appeared around the next corner.

The rest of the hall was, morbidly, covered in shadowy drapes and tapestries, leading up to the almost ten-foot tall doors.

I hesitantly tiptoed to the door on the right and pulled gently on the pretty gold-plated handle.

Literally nothing happened. The door was too heavy for the weak little pull I gave it.

So I yanked hard.

The doors flew open and I fell on my butt,little fissures of pain shooting up my lower back and down my legs.

But when I looked up and into the room, I immediately forgot about my butt pain and stood up to marvel at the magnificency of this mystery room.

It was completely filled, from floor-to-ceiling, rows and rows, shelves upon shelves, of books.

The library was split up into different parts, rooms almost. The open middle area was covered in thick throw rugs and fluffy couches, loveseats, chaises, chairs, so many different places to spread out and read. There were even a few little reading nooks with little porthole windows that showed a mountain in the background and large curtains to separate the area from the bigger room.

I stepped forwards, and a mini-kitchen with an real fridge, oven, and microwave, and there was a nice looking bathroom with a sink and toilet even farther back.

The shelves lining the walls had the rolling ladders, like in Beauty and the Beast, and the stand-alone shelves (not on a wall) weren't floor-to-ceiling, but they had taller ladders as well.

The floor was a deep brown mahogany wood, and it made a husky, quiet groan when you stepped anywhere. The kitchen arera was tiled with slate and had marble counters. The reading nooks were carpeted with a thick, cushy, maroon-type carpet that you could lay on comfortably... not that I tried that or anything...

So potatoes. I updated a super-long chapter on something, and I'm pretty happy with my progress so far. What do you guys think?

And I think I''m going to start doing the vote quota thing because I don't feel like I'm getting any feedback from you guys other than the occasional "Oops, my thumb slipped and I accidentally voted for that chapter" kind of thing.

So, we'll start off easy. One vote and I'll update this story again ASAP.

Love you guys!!!
