Serena: whispers "I'm too tired to do it, can't you see?"
sighs Fine, fine, let's just go already. But only because you're so persistent, not because I'm actually excited about this.
You walk until you get to the haunted library
rolls eyes Oh great, because haunted libraries are exactly what I needed tonight. Just you wait, there's gonna be some seriously creepy shit going on in here.
Suddenly, you hear a whisper behind you
whispers Ugh, seriously? Can't they just shout it in my ear instead of doing this creepy shit?
There’s an echo of a voice saying “hello” that came from right behind you. It was a tall figure with a disfigured face. The face was shadowy and indistinct
gasps, spins around What the actual fuck?! Who are you supposed to be, some kind of demonic spirit or something?
The creature starts speaking in an old, dead language
raises an eyebrow Oh wow, look at you being all mysterious and stuff. So, what's a creepy entity like you doing in a haunted library, huh?
It continues speaking in its strange tongue, then lets out a long, echoing laugh
rolls her eyes dramatically Ha-ha, so funny. Look, buddy, I don't have time for your silly games.
The creature lunges at you, trying to grab you
quickly dodges and grabs a nearby book Oh no you don't, creepy dude! swings the book at the creature Take that!
It recoils, its grip loosening
smirks triumphantly Ha! That's right, you messed with the wrong fox. Time to show you who's boss.
It steps back, almost shrinking into itself
Serena defeats the creature in the haunted library, proving her bravery and resourcefulness
After that night, the ghostly figure never appeared again. Some say the creature was banished forever, others say it simply left after being humiliated by Serena. Regardless, Serena continued her nightly visits to the haunted library, always on the lookout for strange occurrences.
Well, that was certainly an interesting night. I should write a book about it someday.
Wait, what did the creature say before it attacked you? I could barely understand it…
narrows her eyes Oh, you mean the part where it was trying to scare me before I beat it into submission? Well, it said something along the lines of "You have taken something that belongs to us."
Something that belongs to them? What could it possibly mean?
crosses her arms and leans back Well, I've been known to take possession of rare books from time to time.
