Linden. He shakily got up to his feet, then hugged Stephanie.
β€œThank you, my young librarian,” he said, smiling. Stephanie smiled back, then turned around. When she saw March, her expression turned grim. He was struggling to hold his ground against Dr. Robbyn, who was swinging at him with his knife. March looked up suddenly, saw Stephanie, and winked.
β€œGo!” he said. Stephanie quickly gave him a thumbs-up. March then turned back to tussling with Dr. Robbyn. Stephanie ran quickly to the parked trucks, found the Hetra, then returned. She gasped again when she walked in. Dr. Robbyn had Mr. Linden and March by their necks.
β€œOne wrong move,” he hissed. β€œAnd these two will be no more.” Stephanie looked around in confusion, she didn't know what to do. Jacky climbed up onto her shoulder and stared at her. She took one last look at Mr. Linden, and saw him mouth three words.
β€œOpen the book.”
She nodded slowly, then looked up defiantly at Dr. Robbyn.
β€œYou'll never win,” she said. Then, without another word, she kicked the decayed pillar at her right. It immediately gave way, and the building started to collapse.
Stephanie quickly shouted, β€œGoodbye!” then silently opened the book. The scene around her vanished, and soon she found herself sitting on the settee. She sighed, then walked home. Three days later, they held Mr. Linden's funeral. Stephanie was the only one who knew what had actually happened to him. As they read his will, she peered absentmindedly out the window. Suddenly, the preacher said something that caught her attention.
β€œThe library is to be left under the care of Ms. Stephanie O' Conner, the new guardian.” he said. β€œEffective immediately!” After he said this, Stephanie knew instantly what Mr. Linden meant. She started her knew job soon after, as head librarian, and also as the Guardian of the Hetra.
Twenty-six years later, she came across her thirteen-year-old friend, Grace Miller, staring at a certain book with curiosity.
β€œThat book is not available to the public.” Stephanie said, a smile on her face. β€œYou should put it back where you found it.” Then she walked away, knowing all too well who she would meet again in the next few hours.
