I lied when I said I got off around 6.

It was 5 o'clock, and I hung my apron up in the back in my employee locker, and changed back into my regular clothes. Instead of having Erai pick me up from work, I had other plans in mind.

I waved goodbye to Kylie at the door, and left the cafe. It was starting to drizzle slightly, so I hurried and rushed across the street and proceeded to walk down the block until I got to the place I was looking for.

The Griffin Library.

It was the largest library in town, and no doubt I could find what I needed in there.

I went inside, and I was glad to see barely any people there. The librarians were scarcely ever seen, but that didn't particularly bother me. I wanted to be completely alone, or someone might happen to see what I'm doing and give me another strange look.

I've been getting them a lot lately, and they humiliated me to no end, so I figure it's probably be best for me not to act like a complete physco that's being haunted by a rather perverted djinni that has no self control whatsoever. But like always, that always easier said than done.

I walked to the Fiction section, and accidently ran into a random girl carrying at least 10 books. She dropped several books out of her hands, and I gasped out of surprise. "Oh my God! I'm so sorry!" I immediately bent over and picked up the fallen books, and handed them back to her. She just be the librarian...

I almost gasped when I saw her, she was not what I expected when I thought of the word 'Librarian.'

I usually pictured old ladies with grey hair, oval glasses that slid down their nose, black dresses with white poke-a-dots, and panty hose that obviously didn't match her skin tone at all.

But this woman was nowhere near what I had pictured. She looked only several years older than me, had cute green eyes and brown curly hair, and was a petit sort of woman. "It's no problem, really." She smiled at me, and even her voice was beautiful.

"You are the librarian, right..?" I asked in disbelief, and she laughed lightly. "Yes I am. I get that question a lot though. I suppose I understand where it's coming from, considering I'm not twice divorced and in my late 60's."

I laughed along with her, and she seemed genuinely friendly, which made me instantly take a liking to her. "So is there something I can help you with?" She asked politely, and I snapped out of my thoughts. "Oh! Actually, yes you can. Do you happen to know where the Mythical Creature Encyclopedia is?"

She gave me an odd look, and I laughed dismissively. "It's for a report. My history class is getting into mythology." I lied, but she didn't seem to pick up on it, and only smiled and nodded.

The truth was I actually didn't have the money to go to college... And I wasn't exactly a 4.0 grade average student, so... That practically explains why I'm working at a halfway run down coffee joint.

"Right over here." She ushered me past a couple of rows, and into the section full of mythical creature books. "Is there a particular creature you're researching about?"

"Oh, uh, yeah... Djinn." I said looking around the section. All the books looked very untouched and dusty, and I mean it's no wonder why. Vampires, werewolves, goblins, fairies, Kapres, oh, and even Big Foot... Only complete loons would go into this section seriously trying to research something.

"As you can see, this section isn't our most popular." She laughed, and I smiled at her cute expression. "Oh, and here you are." She pulled a book from the shelf and handed it to me. It had a picture of a desert sunset on the cover, with big bold words saying, ARABIAN MYTHOLOGY. The book looked rather dusty and unused, but at the corner, I could see slight and rather faded fingerprints, as if someone's read it before not too long ago.
