CHAPTER 2
She was confused. Why did that happen? She sat in the library, looking at Angelo going between all the shelves, carrying various objects with him.
“Would you like to help me, Eche?” he said when the books for the fourth time fell down on the floor. She picked them up and followed him.
“So how is your mother nowadays?” he asked, putting the books in the right order. She sighed.
“I’ve not heard from her for a long while. I’m getting a bit worried.”
“Are you saying that you don’t know where she is?”
“I know she’s on a trip somewhere in Mudos. I wonder what’s happening there. Maybe something bad has happened to her.”
“Well…” he caught a book that tried to fall down. “Mail isn’t what it used to be.”
She smiled and then sighed again.
“Angelo… I’m bored. I mean, I’ve got lots of things to do, but I don’t want to… I’m grateful you all help me to control this I’ve got, but I don’t want to anymore. It sounds strange, I know, but I need something else to do. Something!”
He looked at her for a while.
“I’ve got new books. Some of them are very promising.”
“Books are boring! This whole place is boring! I need something to do!”
“Some day, you’ll regret those words. I know you will. One day, you’ll look back to these days and say to who ever that’s listening, ‘Those were the good old days…’. “
He smiled and patted her shoulder. She patted him back. Someone opened the door.
“Angelo…” the guard Cait said, pointing outside. “I think we need some of your help.”
The mumble of the arguing people was loud. Angelo tried to spot the thing they were discussing.
“What’s happening, Cait?” he asked. Eche was standing beside him, staring at the woods behind the walls. It was hard to see anything in the middle of the night.
“People are afraid. They think it’s something in the woods. We can’t be too careful, so I thought, maybe you could fix it.”
“Me, the most glorious keeper of the library?”
“Yeah, I thought that…”
Someone walked out of the woods. He stopped in front of the gate and awaited someone to ask him a lot of questions and open up. A guard came and started the long questioning. Cait and Angelo walked away to hear what they said. Eche stood there, looking around herself. She wanted to go and listen, but knew it was too many there to hear well. Someone suddenly put a dirty piece of cotton over her mouth. She barely made it to understand that it happened before a sack was put over her head and she was carried away.
