chapter 2

Tiana She goes to a new school where a boy named Divyam arranges a school trip where she gets to know about another part of the library.

" what do you mean by that?"

I always like such mysterious stories very much and I was getting the same vibes after hearing this.

" This is not for you to know. Principal sir has forbidden anyone from talking about this, especially to a new girl like you."

By saying this he made it clear that something was going wrong here. My eyes started to glow and I felt a tickling sensation inside my ears.

" Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this. Please tell me."

I started glazing over and made a pappi face at him. He works equally on my father. Whenever he doesn't listen to me, I do the same and he listens to me without any hesitation. I didn't know if all this would work on others or not but there's no harm in trying.

" Ok I'll tell you but remember your promise."

I immediately put my hand on my head and gestured to him to tell him that I never break my promise.He took deep breaths and said.

“This was about 10 years ago from now. At that time there were not two parts of the library, it was the entire library, it was one.  A new librarian had come here who was very happy to see such a big library because she loved books very much.

Her name was Miss Priya and she was a young girl of 25 years. The library is so huge that initially he had a lot of difficulty in working, so it became evening on the very first day and he did not even realise when it became dark while he was working.

As soon as it got dark all the teachers went back home and everyone completely forgot about the new girl who had come today. She was keeping all the books arranged properly when she saw that some students were sitting and reading books at corner of library.

" Why are you guys sitting here and reading books, why are you not sitting here? It's very dark there, can you see anything?"

She was right because that corner of the library was very dark yet some students were sitting and studying there. Those people did not give him any answer and started doing their work.

Miss Priya was not in the school so she did not know anyone so she started doing her work and she saw that all the children were quietly sitting in the same position with their head down. He had not even turned the page of his book for a long time.

She placed all the books aside then she took a deep breath and said.

" Finally my work was done and I am out now. I should go home, I think."

She saw that the children were still sitting in the same portion so she went to them and said.

" Look kids, I have to go home now, so you all should go to your homes too."

" Madam, I am sorry, but you cannot go to your house."

A child said in a very low voice. His voice was so low that Miss Priya had to take her ear close to him to hear him. It was so dark at that place that nothing was visible. So, how were these kids reading the book?

" Look, I'm out so I have to go back."

"You can't go."

Miss Priya found all the children quite strange. Even while talking they kept their necks down, so it was difficult to make out who was saying what. They started saying in unison that you cannot go.

Seeing all this Miss Priya started sweating, so she thought of leaving from there and started walking towards the door quickly. As soon as she reached the door the door closed.

" You can't go,,,, you can't go,,,"

When Miss Priya looked back, all the children were standing behind her and the surprising thing was that those children did not have faces. There was only one eye on his face which was quite big.

Seeing all this, Miss Priya got very scared and started shouting for help but there was no one there to help her. She ran to the other door but the children were standing there too.

Ultimately he ran towards the door first but the children stood near the middle line and could not go further from there. Miss Priya understood that the child could not come beyond that place.

But she could not take her out of the library because no one knew that Miss Priya was there so the library was locked from outside.

Miss Priya stood near that door looking at those one-eyed, faceless children whall night long. In the morning she was found unconscious there and her mental balance was completely disturbed and she told all these things.

From that day onwards, a boundary was erected around the place where the children were staying and the library on the other side was left for them. If Miss Priya had not been able to reach here, she would probably have been stuck there forever."
