The Storyteller

Chapter 6 crazier then the craziest thing

"Alexa, It looks like you found the other letter. You have to to back to the library and tell Miss Donna, the librarian to give you the key to the secret library." They all looked at each other. So the librarian knew about this?

"Don't worry, she's a good friend of mine. please hurry up. these stories need me." once again the letter vanished. "wha...where did it go." Amber asked.

"That we still don't know of." Xena said. "Ok, so what's the plan? Amber was all in at this point. "You wanna know the plan, I'll tell you the plan." Cherry stood up and took Amber by her hand. "The plan is that Alexa and Xena are gonna look for the secret library and we are not gonna lose our task today, I personally hate losing so you girls can call us when you find something out." Amber protested on the way out but Cherry wouldn't hear of it.

Alexa chuckle at the sight of the girls. "Are you ok." Xena stood infront of her. "Why wouldn't I be."

"I...Never mind, let's hurry up and solve this mystery and do our task." Xena was back to normal but Alexa still wanted to know what she was thinking.

***

They were now in the librarian again but this time the librarian was not surprised to see them. "I guess you figured it out didn't ya." she said. "Why did you lie to us." Xena looked at her with irritated eyes. "I didn't lie to you, I told you everything I knew of the Storyteller."

"yeah but you didn't tell us you knew her." Alexa said. "Please we need the key to the secret library."

"What is the first thing you would look for in a friend?" They were both confused. "Is this a test?" Xena asked. "No, but it could be."

"We don't have time for this."

"And I have work to do."

"wait we'll answer the question." Alexa wanted to get to the bottom of this but she couldn't do it with this impatient Xena. They thought for a long time. "Xena, if I was your friend what would you look for in me?" Alexa looked at Xena. "aren't we friends?" Alexa looked at Xena like she had horns. "aw, we are?"

"Well, I would like for you to be a good friend who I can love and trust and-"

"Trust, that's it.?" Alexa interrupted Xena not hearing what she said before or what she was going to say. She only heard trust. Then she walked to the librarian feeling confident.

"The answer to your question is trust. That's what I would look for in Cherry." Alexa said. The librarian smiled at her and turned to Xena.

"Children your age these days are not that trustful so choose your friends wisely." Alexa looked over at Xena and smile. "Follow me."

The librarian took them to the far end of the librarian, it was completely deserted. Much like the whole library. She then handed Alexa an amulet, it was red and had something like blue fire blazing in the middle. They were both amazed. Even Xena never seen anything like it

and she had lots of jewelries. "it's... it's beautiful." Alexa said. "I've never seen anything like it."

"it's one of the key to the library, to unlock the door you must hold out the amulet in front of it and the door will open." The librarian said, pulling them from their trance. They both looked around confused. "But there's no door here." Xena said.

"Things aren't always what they seem young lady." she then pointed to a shelf. it was not categorized. It had lots of different books. Alexa and Xena looked at each other before approaching the shelf.

Alexa hesitat d before holding up the amulet in front of it. The bright light blinded them for a sec before the big shelf suddenly moved on it's own, woah!

The both turn to the librarian but she was not there. "Should we go inside?" Alexa was unsure as she asked Xena. "Are you seriously asking that at an epic moment like this, of course we should." Xena was not waiting for a response as she went in first Alexa had to run up to her and woah, she almost bump into Xena when she suddenly stopped.

Alexa looked up to the the world's most biggest library ever. It almost seemed endless. Okay this was definitely not built by men. "Alexa...I feel like I'm dreaming, pinch me." Xena yelp in pain when Alexa actually pinched her. "What was that for." She cried. "I thought you told me to pinch you." Xena was about to get payback when a voice interrupted them.

"Take a seat, the story is about to begin." It was a deep male voice. "Who...Who are you?" Alexa asked as they looked around to see where the source of the voice was coming from. "I am the Librarian and the story is about to begin." The voice said. "The librarian? Where are you?" Xena was next to speak. "You can't see me but I can see you so take a seat the story is about to begin."

"What do you mean?" Alexa asked. "Will you stop asking questions and sit by pillar." the Librarian said seemly annoyed. The girls hurried to sit infront of the little pillar.

From one of the very tall shelf, came a book falling, no, floating around until it sat on top of the pillar and opened up it? the girls were again shocked and also amazed.

"Once upon a time." The voice began to tell the story. "There was a king and a queen who longer for a child. They prayed to all the gods and fairies. they finally got a child and she was the prettiest in the land. she grew up so beautiful that all the Young boys wanted to marry her but she only had eyes for one which was her personal knight Daniel. He was a loyal man to the royal family but his family betrayed the royal family and they got banished from the kingdom but the princess loved him so much. She was planning to run away with him tonight but she was the only heir to her kingdom, how will she eloped with Daniel it is your duty to help her. Either she becomes queen or runs away with her lover. Only she who where's the amulet can enter the story."

Then suddenly, Alexa was sucked into the book while Xena stayed frozen in place. wh... where did she go?" Xena managed to say. This was crazier then the craziest thing she's ever seen, ever.
