'What do we do?!' Skyler asked crouching freaking out.
'Just be quiet.' Kenneth answered.
John looked around.
'It's a library…' John observed, 'But the exit is locked.'
Kenneth turned around.
'The door behind us is shut…' He informed.
'We find how to unlock the door.' Skyler commanded.
The three walked crouching, not being able to make even a single mistake.
'Quiet…' John whispered.
They walked up the stairs, toward the exit door.
'We need a code.' Kenneth observed, 'Come on. Let's search the Library.'
'Yeah,' John agreed, 'There has to be some clues here in the books.
'Look!' Skyler called out.
'Shhh!' Kenneth shushed.
They looked at the figure. It turned around.
'Oh no…' Kenneth whispered.
But the figure let it go. It kept walking, walking away from Kenneth, John and Skyler. The library was a bigger than a football pitch. Shelves from end to end, it went on forever, there was more books than people at an airport.
'Don't split up guys,' Kenneth told, 'Stay together.
'The blue light…?' Skyler whispered again.
'Okay,' John picked up the paper, 'It's… a clue?'
'So there are shapes that represent a number for the code…' Kenneth observed.
'But we only need to find five for the code.' Skyler added.
'Right.' John agreed, 'But it doesn't matter if we find others, extra won't hurt.'
'Yes, yes…' Skyler rolled her eyes.
They looked around when something on the bookshelf caught Kenneth's eye.
'Blue glow…' Kenneth mumbled, 'Blue light— Here.'
Kenneth reached to the blue glow and took out the book the blue lit up.
'Triangle?'
'Uhhh…' Skyler paused for a moment, ' Triangle… equals… 2— 3.'
'Which digit?' John asked.
Triangle = 3 Third digit.
'Uhmmm… third.' Skyler replied.
They kept looking around and inspecting the area for any blue Aurora that stuck out to them.
'Found one.'
Circle = 5 Second digit.
'Alright then…'
Thud
'John!' Skyker freaked out.
'Shhhhh!' Kenneth shushed.
The figure let out a gruesome roar.
'Run!!' Kenneth yelled.
The figure chased them, and they ran as fast as they could.
Kenneth jumped into a closet desperately attempting to hide from the figure.
'Quick!' Skyler shrieked.
The figure was distracted by Skyler and charged.
John hid around a corner and crouched leaving the figure clueless.
'Hah… Haa…' Skyler panted as she threw herself forward.
She leapt over the counter that they found the piece of paper that gave them a clue on and the figure collided into it causing it to fall over. Skyler crouched and hid away. Kenneth walked out the closet and immediately noticed a blue glow once again.
'Hmm?'
Square = 9 Not needed.
Kenneth sighed.
'I found one…' John whispered to Kenneth from far.
Kenneth turned is head to him and rushed over on his toes.
'Here.'
Pentagon = 6 Fifth digit.
Then Skyler came trembling to Kenneth and John.
'Skyler!' John rushed over to her.
'I found star…' She said, 'We don't need it.'
Star = 3 Not needed.
The figure roared again.
'Shhh!' John panicked.
But the figure turned around. John sighed.
'Let's go upstairs…' Skyler suggested.
'Right.' Kenneth agreed.
They slowly and carefully made their way to the upstairs.
'Slow and steady…' John mumbled, 'Don't rush.'
'See one!!' Skyler smiled
Skyler tripped.
'Run!!' Kenneth yelled.
The figure roared and rushed towards them.
'Skyler! Get up!' John yelled.
The figure dived at Skyler and missed her head by a few millemetres.
Skyler screamed and crawled back up to her feet.
'Skyler run!!' Kenneth yelled
Kenneth and John were screaming at her from some steep stairs.
'Over here!!' John yelled.
Skyler lifted her head and rushed towards Kenneth and John.
The figure stood still.
Silence.
Nothing.
No noise at all.
Not even a bit.
'Okay, there's one there.' Kenneth observed.
Kenneth slowly crept toward the bookshelf and looked up at the Blue glow.
'Got it!' Kenneth celebrated quietly.
'Yes!' John smiled.
Skyler let out a sigh of relief.
But when they look back at Kenneth again, his face sunk.
Diamond = 8 Not needed.
'Nothing…' Kenneth mumbled.
Then John walked over to a small bookshelf and found a blue glow again.
'Yes!!' John celebrated, quietly.
He checked it.
Hexagon = 2 First digit.
John returned to the stairs and put the book down. Skyler returned with a book as well.
Cross = 1 Fourth digit.
'Nice work,' Kenneth encouraged, 'Gather around.'
'Alright.'
'Hmmm'
'First digit…'
'Hexagon…'
'2'
'Second digit.'
John picked up the next book.
'Circle'
'Nope not this one' Skyler informed
'Here.' John spoke up after finding the right book.
'5'
Kenneth nodded remembering it.
'2-5…?'
'Third digit…'
'Triangle…'
John swapped some books around until Skyler interupted.
'Uhhh…'
'Wait—'
'3' She informed, 'Triangle right?'
'Yep.' Kenneth nodded agreeing to Skyler.
'2 - 5 - 3…'
John searched across some more books.
'Forth digit…'
Skyler sighed.
John blinked a few times and stared into the pages of the book, flipping through the blank pages to find one that wasn't blank.
'Cross…' Kenneth gave the info to John.
'Yes...' John replied.
'7?'
'No… no. I mean 1.' John corrected himself.
'John…' Kenneth sighed, 'Come on.'
'It's 1.' John confirmed.
'So… 2 - 5 - 3 - 1…?' Kenneth asked.
'Yes.'
'Fifth digit.'
They flipped pages again.
'Pentagon.'
'Okay…' John answered, 'Pentagon is 6'
Kenneth nodded noting it down.
'So the code is…'
'2 - 5 - 3 - 1 - 6'
'??'
'Yes!!' John celebrated.
Skyler covered her mouth in relief, happiness.
Kenneth was proud of himself.
'Okay.' Kenneth called, 'Wait for my signal.
John trusted Kenneth, you couldn't trust anyone more than Kenneth, with a heart of kindness and a destiny of leading a group… no one else could be a better leader than him.
Kenneth's heart pounded.
'Don't let your team down…' He thought crying in his heart.
Then figure turned towards Kenneth, John and Skyler.
'Ackk…' Skyler said frightened.
'Shhh!' John warned.
Kenneth looked at the figure. It's teeth, no eyes just a big mouth. It's long arms, maybe longer than it's legs.
'It's blind. Skyler told Kenneth.
'Yeah I see that.' Kenneth answered.
Then the figure turned and walked down the stairs.
'Now!' Kenneth whispered.
Kenneth signalled to go down to the exit door.
'2-5-3-1-6'
Click!
'Yes!!' They celebrated.
The figure roared as it heard them. Kenneth, Skyler and John rushed out of the library to 'Door 51'
'52'
'Huh?'
