I know where I am

Levi was lost. He sat at one of the cubical in the school library. It was a box with four separate cubicles. From above it looked almost like a Nazi Hakenkreuz. Levi always thought that that was a little ironic. In front of him was a stack of books. A Werewolf book sat next to a book on ancient Greek mythology along with a book of A History of Northern Vancouver.

Emily wasn’t in the library. Levi hadn’t been planning on telling her anything. But it would have been a lot easier if she had been there to help him. The librarian was there, Levi didn’t know her real name, and he didn’t think anyone else did either. Everyone just knew her as the librarian. Levi hadn’t asked her for help, for some reason she gave him creepy vibes.

The librarian was a very tall woman. She was stick thin and always dressed in a business suit. Her hair was pulled tight into a bun at the back that covered her ears. She had tiny spectacles perched on the tip of a long nose. Everything about her seemed long. Levi didn’t know why people didn’t avoid the library altogether. He would’ve if it wasn’t for Emily. But here and there students sat and did homework and even asked the librarian for help. Levi hadn’t, he had just had to find the books in front of him on his own. There was one thing he was certain of. No one had a late book, ever.

Levi knew exactly where he was. He was sitting in a library in Lynn Academy. The Academy was happily situated on a hill in the northern end of North Vancouver. North Vancouver was happily above greater Vancouver. Vancouver was next to inlet to the Pacific Ocean and just north of the border to the USA in British Colombia. British Colombia was one of the most western of the Canadian territories and Canada was in North America which was a continent on the planet earth. See Levi knew exactly where he was. He was just hopelessly lost, knowing exactly where he was.

Well that at least was what it felt like. After Brett went to have his arm checked out Levi rushed to the Library sure that he could help his friend out and find the answers. Now he sat there staring hopelessly at pages filled with words and pictures. A numb feeling had crept over his body. The shock had worn off now and now he could think. He thought about how Brett had just killed someone. Levi had watched as someone died.

Brett had told him of his stories. About how monster crept up and had to be put down. Honestly Levi had thought he was just telling stories. That Brett liked to make up stories and that he only told them to Him. It was the stuff you read about in comic books and fantasy. Not the kind of stuff that happened to normal people like Levi. It had been alien to find yourself still in school but certain that you were someplace else as well. Somewhere ancient and powerful, not at all like the modern construction of the school. That’s what it had felt like those brief moments when everything had taken on a green light and smelled of freshly turned soil hit by a rainstorm.

All of that took a back seat to the thought that he had just seen someone die. He didn’t try thinking about it but he couldn’t help it. It had been the first time that he had experienced something like that. Levi was certain that Camdon had been trying to kill them. Murder had been in his eyes and his very presence. Levi knew that Camdon would have killed them but it still wasn’t easy seeing what he had seen. How was he going to sleep tonight? Levi lost in his dark thoughts almost missed the susurration.

Levi couldn’t explain it but if a susurration had a feel it would have felt like this. It was like being touched by a whisper. Levi stood up and looked around trying to find the source. It was so slight that he almost did miss it when he found it. Two guys sat at a table in the back corner of the library their heads where close together and they were whispering. They looked like night and day. One was dressed in dark cloths his hair was almost as black as Levi’s. The other was Blonde. The guy with black hair was wearing a black hoodie that had a black fur enterer. It almost looked like he was trying to be Goth, Levi thought to himself, the kid’s skin was so white it almost looked like snow, and when Levi saw his eyes he gulped. They were such a light blue they looked like ice and they stared vacantly across the room. The guy was blind.

Levi knew who the other guy was, everyone did. It was hard not to know who David was. As the school president he had posters and pictures up all over school. He had also done some movies for the schools announcements with the rest of the student council. He was wearing nice blue jeans and had on a white button up shirt with blue pinstripes. His eyes were dark green like emeralds. The susurration feeling was coming from them. They both looked worried and as they talked a shimmer in the air like a heat wave in the summer hung around them.

Levi sat back down quickly. Brett wasn’t the only one, isn’t that what he had said? He had been so certain when he had said it. Maybe they were other superheroes just like Brett. From what Levi could tell everyone liked David. Even guys from other schools and from rival other schools all liked David. Maybe that was his super power to be liked. Maybe the blind kid had a super power too. Maybe they knew what was going on. Maybe they had some answers. The more Levi thought about it the more excited he became. I can get answers for Brett and I won’t have to go to Emily.

Levi stood up excited and ready to go speak to them and then sat back down. What was he going to say? Wasn’t David a senior? Why would he want to talk to him? Maybe the other guy would talk to him. Levi shook his head, your just staling he thought. He stood again determined to go talk to them. He turned and stared at an empty table. Where did they go? He looked around quickly and found them heading out the doors of the library. He was about to go follow them when a voice behind him cleared a throat to get his attention.
