A single droplet of water ploped on the ground .
one turned into many and soon the down pour grew in intensity. The pitter patter of the droplets loud and echoing as they continue to fall on the metal roof of the tram stand.
people scatter and hustle around in haste , shouts and calls , screeches of tyres and bellows of horns . In the middle of all stands a little girl sheltered by an umbrella too big for her tiny hands . She sits deaf to the noises around her, she waits.
her tiny hands trembling as she struggles to hold on and then a gust of wind rips the girl off of her shelter . She watches in distress as the umbrella flies farther landing on the road ahead . She waits hesitant. Then she runs in a moment of childish determination not noticing the bus closing in .
you see it . You don’t think , your body moves on it’s own , you hear your bones brake in sickening crunches the girl falls her knee scraped but alive . You pushed her. then you hit the ground.
the splashes of raindrops on your skin mix with the salt in your tears . Unbearable pain shoots through your body , red seeps into your vision. You hear screaming. Your body is contorted, your vision goes blurry, you taste metal , you can no longer hear anything as the ringing in your ears seem too loud increasing the throbbing pain in your head and then everything stops .
***
You awaken . There is nothing and everything is black . You feel your self floating and it seems endless, dark . The only light seeming to come from you . Then you hear it , a disembodied voice . It sound like your mother. Gentle and soft .
” Interesting ,“it says “why you?”
you are confused. You too wonder. Why you ? In an instant you are engulfed in brightness , you wonder where it’s coming from as everything goes white .
***
you swim back into consciousness as you feel some thing warm on your face . It is rough and sharp as it moves along your cheek. You attempt to open your eyes . You squint your eyes as it burns in the light . You regret doing so as the warmth quickly pulls away with a squeak .
your body feels heavy as you pull yourself up. You slowly squint your eyes open . As your eyes adjust to the light you hear him . the warmth returns but now on your hands .
“ careful “ he says , his low sweet voice echo s in your ears . You finally see him .

short lose curls currently his face ,his lips curl into a smile ,he stands up offering his hand .
“ come along now , we don’t have much time”
You shakily stand as a huge door seems to appear from nothing . You follow his leath frame into the door . You are blinded again .
you hear voices , you are not on the road anymore instead in a grand room stacked to the ceiling with book shelves.
“ finally!! What took you so long? “
you turn to a rather pepy girl with frizzy space buns .
there are more people there . You have so many questions. As you’re about to ask -
the boy from before is in front of you again.
”This is the library .”He says as if that was supposed to answer all of the questions brewing in your mind .
“What ..I-“ he cuts you off again.
“ and you “ he points his finger at you, “ are our final member.” everyone looks at you , they are hoping for something . You don’t think you have anything to offer .

“ a guardian of the library “ …
