With each step the man took toward her, Levy took a step backwards until she hit a shelf. “Shit,” Levy thought to herself as this guy neared her,” Way to go Levy. “Get lost, kid,” the man growled, standing up. “I was just trying to help!” Levy snapped back,” Jeez, no need to be rude!” She’d never had to deal with a customer like this. Levy jumped in surprise and her eyes widened. “I know where the damn books are!” the man snarled, slamming the book shut. “It’s right over there,” Levy continued, pointing towards the other side of the library. “I just wanted to let you know that we also have an adult section,” Levy took a deep breath and edged her way towards him, a very shy smile on her face. Suddenly, he stopped and looked up, glaring at Levy. A perplexed expression rested on his face and he seemed to be mumbling away. Tip toeing through the bookshelves, she finally saw him. Knowing she wouldn’t be needed for a while, Levy quietly left her desk and headed off to see the man. There had been the old man who was asking for a copy of Fifty Shades and there was the woman who came in a few weeks before that asking for a book on how to cook meth.īut a guy slinking away with a copy of Winnie the Pooh? Unheard of. She had never seen anything like this before. Levy watched as the man looked around before grabbing a few books and heading off to a table in the more hidden part of the library. Why the hell was this guy in the children’s section? But there was one thing that confused Levy. He seemed to move like a panther, slinking into the shadows. He was tall with facial piercings, long dark hair and red eyes that seemed cold. That was the first word that came to mind when she saw the guy. So the library was pretty much empty, except for the one or two patrons dotted around the place, absorbed in their own world. Many would rather sit on their phones or laptops than open a book. , not many people seemed to agree with her. One minute she was in a world of dragons and princesses and the next she was in dystopian future. She loved the smell of books, the rustle of pages and the thousands of worlds she could explore. As a small child, she’d always wanted to work in a library. She closed her eyes and gave a sigh of happiness. “Thank you, have a nice day,” Levy grinned, waving to the little boy clutching at his book like it was gold.
