now,
I’ve been hungry for so many years, I’ll be so glad to feast on you
now.” Emily gave him an arrogant stare, and he moved to pounce on
her but stopped abruptly. She was removing all her clothes. He
began moving closer to her, getting famished for the tasty flesh in
front of him. He stopped again.
     

     

CHAPTER 3
    Right in front of the creature, Evalle was
turning into a demon, a beast that it hadn’t seen in its lifetime.
By the time she was fully transformed, the creature was hiding
behind a huge rock. The lady beast moved swiftly towards the
rock.
    Her arms swerved into the air as she struck
the rock with her fist, slicing it in two. The beast looked
terrified as he saw her staring at him with angry blue eyes. She
reached for its neck with one arm and raised it very high until it
was screaming and begging for mercy.
    Evalle retracted her arm and delivered a
punch to its face instead. Falling to the floor, it yelled in pain.
She raised it up again as if trying to get some information but
threw him to the far end of the cave.
    The creature was filled with rage as it
looked at her. It sprang towards her but she was prepared for it
and hit it square on the face making it fall to the floor,
lifeless.
    She was brought back to the present as she
heard a deafening sound. Some books fell off the shelf when she
used leg to hit it. Right in front of her lay a book with a bright
cover. She got interested in it and she picked it up.
    She began examining the book’s cover as it
looked different from the other ones she had seen or read but the
more she tried, the harder it was for the book to open.

    Emily looked at the floor to confirm if she
was seeing things. As she stooped, the door opened a bit as she saw
a group of men cutting something on a very large table. She
couldn’t see it but it was clearly something that once lived.
    She wanted to know what it really was when a
tall man shut the door. What is a wild animal doing around here?
She wondered aloud.
    She continued walking down the passage when
she saw Kujoo walking ahead. She walked faster so she could get to
him. She left the path and moved to another passage and sat on the
floor, breathing heavily.
    Why did Kujoo leave me here? He was walking
with me but disappeared just in time for me to see those people. My
instincts tell me that something is really wrong with this place. I
need to move out of here as fast as possible.
    Emily screamed as she got up and ran towards
Kujoo “My father.”
    As she got to him, she forgot why she ran but
started shouting at him “Why did you leave me alone?”
    “I didn’t leave you, you seemed so taken
aback and I decided to leave you to yourself.”
    “But that’s a lie, I was talking to you, then
you vanished” She screamed at him. The air seemed to be getting
thinner around Kujoo.

    “Emily tried to open the book, but it didn’t
get to open. She stood up from the chair and moved towards the
shelf, searching for other books that had the type of cover
possessed by that book. She tried to open the first one but the
same thing happened until she got to the last one.
    She slammed the book on the table and headed
for the librarian’s table screaming at him.
    “Why can’t I open some of the books?”
    “I don’t know why you are asking me that” he
asked, looking confused.
    “You said I created this place, I can’t get
to open a silly book.” That’s pretty annoying, you know?”
    “I don’t know why ma’am, but I think you
should be able to open all the books here.”
    She left the side of his table and moved few
inches before asking for the way out of the library. He snapped his
fingers and a door appeared right at the spot she came in through.
She said a goodbye by waving her hands and left after he returned
the gesture.
    Evalle was immediately headed for her
guardian’s house. As she got home, her mother was sitting on the
couch, not saying anything. She ran immediately to her and shook
her
