MIDNIGHT RIDER PART 18

A deafening crash shook the ground followed by a stunned silence.Hundreds of books,numerous ballads,parodies,sagas and phrases preserved for decades were scattered around the room in a huge precarious piles,burdened under heavy book cases.Thick haze of ancient dust enveloped the room,covering everything -dead or living.

          The premonitory looming silence was pierced by several loud sneezes.

''A....chooo guys are you a...chooo. OK?''Someone chocked.

Ac...hooo,A...chooo........

''Ye....ah!''

''Huh!''

Suddenly there were loud footsteps outside and moments later the door opened to glaring sunshine.

''Oh God!What the....''

Roha blinked in the blinding light to make out the appalled,thunderstruck features of the old librarian,who was looking like he was having aneumarysm.

''What did you do to this place,you little devils?''he shrieked,shaking his claw-like finger just under Roha's nose.

''Sir we didn't.....''Amish began,surfacing from pieces of broken lacquer and loose pages.

''Of course you did it!You ruined my beloved library!You ruthless,mediocre twerps!''he yelled.

Several loud shouts ensued from the corridor beyond.

''What was that noise?''

''What's going on here?''

''Was that an Earthquake?I swear the ground shook!''

Roha,Amish and Kyra were affixed in startled,unblinking gazes as more and more people crowded the place.

''C'mon children,get up!''Some of the onlookers came to their aid.

''They destroyed m.......my library.''The old man sobbed dryly.

''Don't be ridoculous Sukhwinderji!You too know that its impossible.''

''Yeah...they are just kids for crying out loud!''

''Even three fully grown men can't budge these bookcases for an inch!''

''Exactly!Its lucky they aren't hurt.They could've gotten killed!''

The crowd tried to reason out with the old man,but only to have dry cacophony from him,for all the effect they had.

Unperturbed from the surrounding chaos,Roha's mind raced.They had escaped another attempt to kill.It was time for desperate action,before innocent lives were put to danger.

I won't give up so easily!I will find what the hell is going on in this place.

She resolved determinedly,undeterred and stubborn.
