Library magic

A Story by Philppa

A mythical place where things are anything but normal

Nichole and I walked through the forest, it nothing like either of us had ever seen. No animals were to be seen, no birds to be heard. However, it was not frightening, it was peaceful, inviting, calming. We had walked but a hour when there was a break in the trees, we looked at each other, curious.
"Should we keep going?" Nichole asked, her timid self showing.
I stopped and scanned the area, making sure nothing was dangerous. "Yeah, I'm curious to what lies here."
We slowly moved into the clearing and saw a giant mansion. It had many vines and flowers growing along the stones, that had a green look because of the moss.
"What is it? What's it doing here?" I asked, stunned.
"I'm not sure. Do you want to go see?" Without waiting she walked towards the mansion, laying her hand on the door. It opened without effort and she stepped inside. "Phil! Phil! You've got to see this!"
I ran after her to see what it was she was talking about, and to my surprise, there was walls covered in book, the entire mansion was a huge library! "This is amazing!" I exclaimed as I walked to one wall and started looking at the names of book. Each one had no damage and was seemed to all be about the same subject. Mythical things.
"Phil, over here." I looked to notice Nichole at a round table in the middle of the first row of wall shelves. I walked over to see she had picked books out and already had them scattered about. "These books have things in them that we've always talked about! The world we live in is only the tip of what's actually out there! Phil we've always been right!" Nichole jumped with joy as our dreams suddenly had come to life. I sat and started reading, my eyes growing wide at how much sense it all made.
Before I could even turn the page, flowers burst out of the book, I looked around to see all around me plant life growing up the shelves, growing out of book, onto the chandeliers, and covering the skylight. As the light got dimmer and dimmer I looked to see Nichole fast asleep. The flowers were giving off an odd order, I felt sleepy, very sleepy. Before I knew it I fell into the tempting slumber.
