little irritated by the
calmness in his voice. ”It would also be very nice of a young man
like you to answer my questions.”
    “I want to show you around this place where
you will be staying for a while.”
    Emily said nothing else as she looked blankly
at him and began following him with a feeling of stabbing him to
death. She kept her cool as he was showing her the lobby. She
looked inside and some men stared at her but returned to their
duties.
    After showing her few other places, Emily
concluded that she was the only female present in the castle. She
noticed they had gotten to a place where nobody present. He told
her the place was very sacred and only few people were allowed to
go to that part of the castle.
    Emily then remembered a man came for her in
the morning and decided to ask Kujoo about it. “Did you send anyone
to me this morning?”
    He turned his face sharply towards her
surprised. “No, I didn’t, did you see anyone?”
    “Actually, I did. He told me you sent for me
and had the intention of bringing me to you but almost got me
killed in the process.”
    “I think we have an intruder in this building
and we’ll get him soon, but I have to show you the whole
place.”
    Emily was surprised at the quick reply but
she was quick to speak for him not to sense her doubts. They
continued their tour round the castle as she heard a scream coming
from somewhere below them, Master Kujoo seemed not to hear.
    Emily knew something was wrong with the place
but she had no right to speak. She whispered to herself as they got
to the floor where she heard a voice “I just got here, I know
nothing.” As she passed a door, she saw something on the floor. She
looked bewildered, “Is that blood I’m seeing over there?” noticing
her voice was loud, she looked beside her to see if Kujoo heard, he
was gone.

    Evalle looked at the man again expecting him
to talk to her. She was glad and scared as he began to talk to her.
”I am the librarian here, what do you want?” Emily screamed
“Librarian? Is this place a library? How did it come to be?” He
stared at her more intensely “What can I do for you, Master?” “I am
his Master?” Emily asked herself in surprise.
    “Could you please tell me how this place got
into my house? And why are you calling me master.”
    “Ma’am, you built this place with an ancient
spell, and you asked me to watch over it for you. I waited for you
for several years, but you never came back.”
    Evalle was so shocked but impressed that this
man has been loyal even though she does not recognize him. “Why
can’t I recognize you?”
    “You have to find your memory since you died
and came back as a new being. Your mother had to give her life for
you to find this place, although, she didn’t know of it.”
    Emily slumped on a chair beside her as she
heard what caused her mother’s death. She then stood up with
determination, “let me go through these books.” He nodded his head
in approval as she set to read. Each book was locked with magic in
which she alone could open.
    As she opened the first book, something
struck her and she whispered aloud. ”This is the diary of the
previous me, if I can read it, I think I will have an idea on what
to do next”.
    As she began reading, she felt different
emotions arise within her as tears flowed from her eyes. She was
beginning to remember, how she defeated a great beast she found
when her school went on excursion into the Jungle.
    She remembered how she left her mates without
them noticing her as she squeezed herself into a hole she found on
the ground. She didn’t know why but she felt something pulling her
to the place.
    She got in to find a dark tunnel, moving
forward, she found another path that led to the light. She began to
move faster until she got to a large hole where she found a
creature staring at her.
    She tried to run back but met the creature in
front of her breathing fire as it spoke “You can’t run from me
