dim and she noticed
one thing, she was no longer in the kitchen of her grandparent’s house. Fear
filled her once again; she tried to stand but was too weak to do so. She also
noticed her hands were tied with a weird cloth-like rope. It didn’t hurt but it
was strong enough to keep her hands together. She slowly looked at the place.
There was no other word to describe the place but “beautiful”. It was as if
angels had created the ceiling and marble flooring of the place. It was a huge
library and every book seemed centuries old. Deanna had wanted to stand but
then she heard footsteps quickly approaching the library. She lay back down and
pretended to be asleep. “The girl is a wake Shericnaclus ”
a voice said. “How did they know” thought Deanna she turned and decided that
she better be brave then a twit. “Yes I am and I demand to know where I am! She
spoke out as she turned to face the two most beautiful men or women she had
ever seen. They had faces that were fair not white but tanned. Their skins
glowed like a baby’s but it was hard. They had a perfectly sculptured face.
Their eyes changed in colors and their hairs were white as snow and as dark as
the night sky. Deanna could feel her jaw dropping. “Who were these people? “She
kept asking herself. She knew they were not humans. No one could be that
beautiful.
            The one with white hair moved forward. “Daughter of Sandalphon , we do
not wish to harm you” he reached out a hand to Deanna. She stared at the white haired
man and noticed that the ropes had disintegrated. “ Abraxos ”
he called to the dark haired male, “bring me some wine and bring Melchisedek , he might want to question the girl” with this Abraxos left the library. Deanna did not know what to do,
she had so many questions to ask but didn’t know where to start. “Who people”
she started “What do you want with me?!” she was starting to get angry. The
white haired male stared at her and sighed “I am Shericnaclus ”
he said “your questions will be answered, but it is not me who would give you
the answers” and with that he sat down. Deanna did not know what to say she
just sat there on the library floor, confused at what was happening. “What did
you say your name was?” she asked feeling a little more confident. She knew
that if she found a way out she would have to give details to the police. “ Shericnaclus ” he turned to her. He had a sparkle in his
eyes. It seemed like he was weary and tired of something. “I own the place,
would you like to read a book?” he asked her. Deanna didn’t know what to think,
he was kind and seemed like it was a genuine offer. “Thank you, but I do not
trust you” Deanna said. She stood up and turned to look at the place. Shericnaclus stood and walked to the farthest end of the
room, “the books here will be of much interest to you” he said. “You have my
approval to view them” he said as he turned to walk out the door “oh and
please” he stopped half way through the door “be careful with these books,
collecting them was not easy” with that he walked out.
            Deanna waited till she could no longer hear footsteps. She
waited and then looked around. She had to find a way out but there was no other
way out except the front door. She walked to the door and tried turning the
golden engraved doorknobs but as she expected it was locked. She decided to
stroll around the library. She came across a book shelve with books piled to
the top. The room was enormous. The books were filled to the top of the book
shelves and one would need ladders to reach the top. There was a spiraling
staircase to second floor landing to reach books that reached the ceiling. She
climbed the stairs and stopped in front of a book shelve. Deanna loved books.
She had her own collection and she and Maureece would
read books every weekend. These were not ordinary books; they loved the weird
ones that were published
