Gary walked through the library, skim-reading the titles along the spines of the book. "There HAS to be something in here about Nicola..." He told himself. "What kind of person was I?" He muttered, taking one book out and skimming through. Useless. He threw it to the ground and carried on looking.

"I fear.... I fear, sir, that I know what you're looking for." A little girl was sitting on the floor, a book in her lap. Her brown hair and her purple eyes seemed a little... different from the other girls. She looked up at him, and opened the book.

Gary walked over and crouched down. "I haven't seen you around before... What's your name?" He asked politely.

"I don't have one..." The girl said, her seemingly hollow eyes staring as sthe book kept flipping pages. "I am nameless..."

Gary tilted his head, confused. "Oh... So what's that book you have there?"

"It's my home.. It can tell you anything you wish to know...." The voice didn't seem to come from the girl's mouth though it was her speaking. The voice, airy and light was surrounding them.
"Get back in that book..." Jill appeared, glaring at the girl. "I told you not to bother anyone..."
The girl didn't seem to react, but said no more."

Gary looked at Jill. "Hold up." He told her. "I don't seem to be rude, but we were talking. She was going to help me find out about my past..."

"She was going to hypnotize you." Jill said. "I should know my own spirit." Jill glared at Gary a moment. "The book only works if someone's in. We trapped half my spirit in it once.. and she's trying to switch places to get revenge."

Gary blinked. "I don't get it..."

"You wouldn't. Just think of it like the river styx. If you get sucked into that book, she's free."

"I still have no idea what you're talking about..." Gary blinked. "But if that book's so evil, why keep it?"

"It's not evil. That girl is." Jill said. "She was going to grab you and drag you into the book, trapping you there until you trap someone else." Jill sighed. "Don't you get anything?"
The girl had disolved back into the book by now.

"Hey, I don't understand magical artefacts, 'kay? Magic spells I can handle, but artefacts I just ignore, usually." Gary explained.

Jill rolled her eyes. "Whatever, you're weolcome for saving your life, and the book should be safe now."

"Oh, thanks..." He turned and looked back at the books. "..."

Jill glared at his back, then picked up the book. "Nicola, right?"

"That's right... Cat demon..." He said, not turning, still looking.

"I believe you'll find her in that one." Jill pointed to a red thick book. Probably the thickest in that section. "That's all the documents scientists have been taking on DNA transfering and such. STarting with mum."

Gary took the book. "Thanks." He sat down and began flicking through.

Jill looked at him, curiously but glaring. "I have a question for you..."
