Sophie broused around the books her finger tips lightly brushing by the bindings as she hard them wisper thier stories to her. Trying to intise her in like the allways would. Sophie had already read all of the books in the librarey and thus she was bored with it. When she was back home in her daddys book shop she was never bored becuse there would be a pile of new books every week or so. Yet saddly here, most of these books sophie had already owned. She sighed lightly as she sat down on the floor and stared blankly at the calling books. She could allways read them over agin, and agin and agin...but this time she just wanted somthing new and refreshing. But apparently that was too much to ask for.

Terran slipped into the book store almost unnoticed. he quickly yet calmly walked over to the counter and started talking to the worker at the counter," Excuse me sir but has my special order come in?", he then asked in his meek voice as he placed a small check on the counter to pay for the book.

Sophies ears perked up when she over heard this. Her massive blue eyes became fixated on the small slouching man. She got up off the ground with a sigh and the clunk of her thick doll looking shoes. She dusted off her frilly lolita dress and walked over to the next ilse, wondering what this special order was and if she could get in on it. Yes sophie was this desprate for a new book.

The man handed the small boy a large brown package that was about the size of his chest. The boy pulled it his chest and held it against his chest his arms crossed over it. he quickly noticed the small girl that was closing in on him, he took a few steps back. He was worried that the girl might try to get his book.

She could hear the books, images of them flashed through her mind. Her cheeks flared and then she frouned when she saw the boy trying to gard them from her. She stuck out her bottem lip and puppy eyed him mercelessly. Sophie just wanted somthing she hadnt read before, it wasnt like she was going to take away the books and never ever give them back and be a big meanie about it...Just one touch and she could dissapere inside of the book...just one touch.

The small boy turned to the door and started to press against it, the door slowly opened as he tried to sneak away from the girl who was so mercilessly trying to take his book.

"Pl-please wate!" she said in a small voice as she bounded twords him with her hand extinded. "I just want to read somthign diffrent" she said to him as she was rather close, she touched the box and the book seemed to screem its story at her throwing images of history through her mind. Sophies eyes rolled back, she didnt dissapear, but she flet like she would if she were to touch the actuall book. "Please, i dont mean to take anything from you...i promise!" she said in a verry quiet scared sounding voice.

The boy pulled the book away a little," If you want to read something different.... then come with me i can show you a library that is like no other", he replied a little worried about the reaction she was having to his book of Necromantic history.

Sophie gave a wide smile as her large eyes britened up till they sparkeled. "MmHm!" She nodded happily "ive read all the books in the citiy librarie already though.." she said to him in a small mousie voice looking up at him with a painfully sad face.

Terran turned and started walking," It will take a bit of walking for us to get there", he then said. After about half an hour of walking the two where now at the base of the mountain. " I hope you aren't afraid of the dead", he then said as he opened up a door in the side of the mountain that was large enough for them to walk through.

Sophie grimmanced, "there not....like the animal tropies on the walls are they? or like the porcelen dolls mommy used to get me...thier eyes freek me out..." She said looking up at him with her large eyes, not realy realiseing that she looked just like a porcelen doll her self.

" no they are just like normal people only they used to be dead", Terran said as he started walking down the hardly lit path , a dim light was visible at the end of the dark tunnel. the tunnel itself seemed heavily worn, only a few dim green flamed torches lit the way.

The tunnel made sophiewant to laugh, she wondered if this was what people were talking about when they died about 'a light at the end of the tunnel'. Sophie triped and waped in to the boy but luckilly she wasnt heavy enough to do any dammage.

Terran turned around quickly and caught the girl, the book he had was now held above his head in his free hand. " Excuse me miss are you Ok?,... umm also what is your name?", He then asked in a very meek voice. Terran's hand started to slip out from under the book, his eyes widened as the book fell from his hand entirely.

Sophie looked up at him slightly embarrased at her clumbsyness. "Yea im fine, oh and my name is so--" she was cut short as the book landed neatly ontop of her head causeing her to blank out in to the book momentarally, her brain being bombarded with voices and visions. Sophie tilted her head forward and it fell wedgeing between the two of them. THe book still screemed at her "phie..." she finished the rest of her name slowly.

" Oh death, are you Okay Sophie?", he then asked in a worried tone as he grabbed the book and scooted back a good ten feet. He was really worried that she may have been hurt by the book falling on her head. his grip on the book increased a little.

Sophie blinked "No, yea...im ok, sorry books like me thats all" she smiled as she skiped forward wondering on the librarie she came up next to him "Oh, and whats your name by the way?" she asked in a small voice that was barely audible.

Terran began walking again, " My name is Terran", he answered as the tunnel ended and the city came into view. the place was a shimmering , at the top of the giant cavern the two where now in floated a giant diamond which was glowing like the sun. the gold metal of the city and the blue light from the power within gave it an eerie glow which was easily seen by any visitor.

Sophie stared about the place wided. It was the only type of place that could be found in story books, but even this beat them out of the park and beyond. "Wow..." she said completely dazzeld.

Terran gave a slight smile, " come on, lets get to the library", He said grabbing the girls hand and leading her down into the city. It took a few minutes but soon they reached the outside of something that looked like a giant cathedral. the great oak doors on the front seemed somewhat inviting if not mildly scary. " So shall we go in then", Terran said with a grin and a louder more happy voice then most other times.

Sophie boggled at the massive cathedral looking building. 'this...was a librarie...' her head though she walked in to it with the her hand still with terran's. She looked around on what seemed like an endless vastment of books. She gasped as she looked around her cheeks were starting to flush agin as all of the books wispered out thier stories to her.

Terran quickly took the lead, he began leading them down the shelves until they reached a particularly dark corner, he released her hand and walked down into the darkness , a moment later he returned his package no longer in hand." Well miss Sophie , what do you think of our library?", he then asked st stretching his hands out as if to show her all the library at once.

A silly grin came over sophies face. "Its lovely..." she siged as she meandered over to the closest book shelf and touched the bindnigs. Each one wispering somthing diffrent to her, "Absolutely!" she nodded to him smileing back.

Terran smiled more," Well , I'm ...Glad no one ever comes in here anymore, all of the books I've brought , they are going years without ever being read, and it is really sad", he then said as he went and stood next to the girl." I hope you'll come back and read some of them." he then added in a hopeful voice.

Sophie gave a nod "ofcourse!!" she smiled as she kept going throug the bindings wondering wich one she should read "Hey terran...whats your favorite book?" she asked looking up at him with her pale blue eyes.

" I love to read the Necromantic Histories, I hope you will like them as well", Terran answered as he smiled at her , This was a mildly rare occurrence. it wasn't often that Terran got along too well with someone, it was even less common for him to bring someone to the library that he loved more then anything else.

"necromatic histories..." she repeated lightly, "that was...that was the book in the box..." she said as she touched the top of her head. "It was screeming, not in a bad way, like 'Read Me and Learn!!'" she wiggled her arms much like a c3po would as she tryed to describe what she ment.

Terran laughed a little," Yeah, thats what was in the box, i was really hoping to keep it safe and thats why i was trying to keep it in my own grip", he then said with a happy voice.

Sophie blinked at him, her big eyes just stareing at him wonderiously. "Hey, could i ask you a question...?" she asked sophie wondered if asking that question canceled out what she wanted to ask. "Are there any books that might swallow me up?" she asked another question.

" what do you mean miss Sophie", he then asked tilting his head to the side. After a moment or two he shifted a little this girl was rather perplexing , what could she mean by a book that could wallow her up. Books couldn't eat people... could they?
