Book shop

the bells above the door jingled as Kit walked into the book shop. She smiled at the musky smell of paper and cinnamon. The owner kept a bowl of potpourri in the corner. Kit had come here once or twice before, and she was instantly drawn to it. She worked at Banrs&Nobel, but this was her all time favorite store.
It reminded her of a Library in a way. The books were old (ish) but beautifully bound. There were rich, scented candles alone the shelves and giant comfy chairs. The owned even had a small coffee machine, some hot water and tea packets.
Kit smiled and made her way to the back of the store.
"Good afternoon Mr. Rodric."
"Ah, hello Ms. Greene."
The old man smiled warmly at her.
"Do you suggest anything good?" Kit poured herself a cup of soothing Jasmine tea.
"Ah, yes. Right this way."
Mr. Rodric lead her along the isles till he found a giant, purple, leatherbound book.
"It's a diary of a woman from before renaissance time. I thought you might like it."
"Oh wow." Kit breathed, her finger running along the spine. It was amazing.
Mr. Rodric smiled.
"It was by a Witch." His eyes twinkled merrily.
"Oh, really?!" Kit gasped and smiled widely.
"Oh, thank you so much! It sounds fantastic!" Kit hugged the old man, who laughed at her antics.
"No problem, my dear. Enjoy it."
"I will!" Kit promised and made her way toward on of the over-sized fluffy chairs. Ever since she was a little girl, she had been interested in the supernatural. But nothing interested her more than witches and magic.

it was a usual saturday morning
i woke up
had breakfast
and chilled with my buds
yeah, i wish
first off i don't sleep
second i don't eat
and third
i don't exactly have any buds to chill with
but today i did do something normal
i went to the book store

Kit turned through the pages in the book, totally enthralled. She sipped her tea and glanced at her watch. Woah, she had been here for an hour all ready, and she wasn't even halfway through with the book. She smiled to herself. It didn't matter. Her mom was at work all day anyway and Rosie probably had a date.

i walked into the front door and took a deap breath
ahhhh
the smell of books was so soothing
their musty oder enthralled my sences and for a moment i was a book
i took a few steps forward examining the spines of the novels
each one i passed i absorbed the information put down on each page with out even glancing inside the book

Kit yawned and finished off the Jasmine tea. Damn, that was some goooood tea.
She stuck a book mark on her page and set the book down, taking her empty mug to the back of the store. She poured herself some more hot water and added another tea packet.
A plate of cookies had been set on the table and she smiled to herself. Mrs. Rodric was an amazing cook.
Kit made her way back to the giant chair munching on her cookie. Yum.

as i drew another breath of mustey book air i caught a wiff of something unfamiliar
and it was close
my eyes focussed on a chair 2 yards away and in the chair was kit
her warm radiant glow reached me and a wash of human thoughts and emotions invaded my head
i decided to shield myself from her view by positioning my body behind the mythology book shelf a-f

Kit felt a warm stare on her back. She looked up and glanced around. Somebody was stranding by a bookshelf, but she couldn't see who.
"Your going crazy." She muttered to herself. "Stop being so paranoid."
Kit went back to reading her book and drinking her tea. The cookie she had had was already eaten.

i couldn't decide if i should stay and pretend everything was ok or if i should leave the book store
every time i came in the vicinity of this girl i could feel a stronger presence of evil near
i couldn't trust being around her
but i had to get as many facts as i could about kitt to better my understanding of the situation
i casually turned the corner and and pretended that i had no idea she was only feet away

Kit looked up from her book and saw the person stepping from behind the bookshelf.
"A... Arrow?" She called hesitantly. That was his name, right? she asked herself. Of course it was. Who was she kidding? she'd never be able to forget his name. Or his face for that matter.

"hey kitt, how are you doing" it was hard convirsing with humans since i already knew what they would say

"I guess I'm alright." She smiled hesitantly.
"And you? What brings you here?"
Kit cocked her head to the side and leaned against the bookshelf.

i was about to answer when i saw the book she was reading
it was about witches and the supernatural
no it couldn't be
witches were thought to be extinct
all killed in the shadow wars
but...but it did make sence
"i just came here for a book" i said

"That's cool."
She glanced around at all the leather bindings on the book shelf.
"Um.... what book are you looking for?"

"i dunno, just a book"
well this was going well
" the book your rreading looks pretty interesting"

Kit glanced back at the chair the book was sitting on.
"Yeah. Mr. Rodric suggested it to me."
She couldn't help but smile widely. She wished Mr. and Mrs. Rodric were her grandparents. They were such kind, nice people.

"mr rodric?"
there wasn't anybody in this town by that name
the last time i came to this book store the owner was Robert Crast
and the last time i was in was last week
something wasn't right

"Yeah. Mr. Rodric and Mrs. Rodric own this store. There in their seventies or something. They make great cookies. Would you like one?"
She was confused by the look on his face. Arrow seemed to have been here before, but it seemed like he didn't recognize Mr. Rodric's name.

"where is Mr. rodric now"

Kit looked around.
"I dunno, somewhere in the shop i guess. Why do you ask?"

"i'll be back in a second" i turned my back on her and went around the corner to the counter and hoped over it
i went into the back of the store where customers weren't suposed to go first i smelled it
it was like rotten eggs only worse
then i saw it
corpses were every where
hanging from the cieling like it was a slaughter house
everything from dear to people
i recognized 1
Robert Caster

Kit glanced at the back room where Arrow had disappeared. It had a sign that said "Authorized Personal Only".
Kit followed him back there.
"Arrow, what are yo--." She stopped short and covered her mouth with her hand. There were tons of dead bodies. The smell was unbearable.
She dashed to the small bathroom at the back of the store and promptly threw up.

"i know your in here" i yelled in to the room
"you can't hide from me" i could feel the creature inside the room
i could feel its hunger, its widness, its... totally inhuman qualities

Kit coughed, feeling awful. All those dead bodies... she shuddered and heaved again.
She finally forced herself to stand. She shook and stared at herself in the mirror. Her face was pale and her hair was pasted to her forehead in sweat. Ugh.
She washed her mouth out and popped a piece of gum into her mouth.

i heard a hiss from the far left corner of the room
the creatures body slowly came into view
its head was ilongated like a snakes and its body was covered in tiny pale white scales
its eyes glowed a venomous green the same color that escaped its white lips

Kit took a deep breath and walked out of the bathroom. The shop was quiet. Too quiet.
She walked into the back room where Arrow and the corpses had been. The smell hit her hard, and she fought to keep from heaving again.
She felt sick to her stomach though when her mind processed what she saw. Some alien being was hissing and clawing. What the hell?
Kit looked around for Mr. Rodric, her head spinning dizzily.
