Library
They walked into the library. Columns of books greeted Elva. SHe gasped. "Oh- my- gosh. I think I'll be spending half the year in here."
"Yeah, right? There's almost a million books in here," Alec whispered as they slipped through the large oak doors and into the chilly library. The air-conditioners were always on in the library. There were tons of tall and packed shelves lining the room neatly. This had to be the largest library Alec had ever seen. Golden chandeliers hung from the high ceiling and lit the double-soccer-field sized room with a fine glow.
"DO they have, like, every book ever published in here?" She asked, breathless. "THis is the best place ever! maybe this school isnt so bad." She smiled.
Alec grinned and shrugged. "The professors and librarians say they have even the unpublished books here. Secret Leonardo Da Vinci sketches, Issac Newton's notes, tons of famous people's notes and diaries and even models of their inventions," he told her, awing at the books too, even if he had been here hundreds of times.
"Do you think they have Da Vinci's secret scrolls? With plans for the airship on them?" She asked, her eyes widening.
Alec shrugged again, "I've never seen it, but the librarians still claim they have those type of stuff. You could try the 'secret' or 'Leonardo Da Vinci' or 'airship' on the search computers if you want." He gestured to the computers station in front and behind each shelf of books.
She rushed over to one and typed up 'Leonardo Da Vinci Airship plans'. The result came almost immediately. "Aisle 234, row 15, center." She read out loud.
((They usually tell you the letter it is under (like, L, since it's 'Leonardo Da Vinci Airship plans') and its real title (maybe 'Airships of Da Vinci'). Then they tell the number of the book (something like '6899979') and which aisle, row and that's it. But yes, what you did is fine.))
Alec nodded and he turned to the middle of the library. There, stretching from the entrance to the absolute end of the library was a wide moving escalator-like track. He stepped onto the rolling plates and looked about him, awaiting Aisle 234.
((haha yea... well :D))
As they escalated through the rows of books, Elva kept a look out for the book she was looking for. And she found it. "Here it is."

((There's an escalator in the middle and sides of the library so people don't have to walk that far, pretty good idea, huh? I'll just put all this information at the top.))
((Okay, do want them to read the book or the bell rings and they go for their next class? Because I'm not really sure what will be inside it.))
((bell rings and she'll take a sneak peek.))
((Okay.))
Alec followed her and helped her get the book down from the shelf. They then held the book and lifted the old and wrinkled cover off the pages when the class bell rung. Alec groaned as he told Elva, "That's the bell for class. We have to get back to the Class Tower now."

Elva groaned. "Okay. You lead the way!" They sprinted out of the library and to the tower.
((Now I have to think of what lesson is up next. Give me a moment.))
((I've decided, it's Technology Class now.))
Alec sped through the library and rushed out into the sun and towards Class Tower. They stepped into the modern-looking building and he led the way to Technology Class.

He scanned the shelves and looked for a history of the Academy. "So does the school have any enemy's?" He asked curious what would help against the enemy's of this school.
"Ah so we are both in the dark guess we will have to find someone who does know later." He said holding his hand out for the book she just drew. "Can I see that?" He asked kindly.
"Sure I don't mind." He said nonchalantly looking through the table of contents. He looked up at her seeing that she was a bit up the ladder so much that if she fell she would get hurt so he moved under it ready to drop the book.
"No always been alone except this furry guy." He petted the wolf who was sitting just in reach of him. He looked up at her standing on her toes trying to reach a book to far away, He tensed and knew she would slip soon he could see her feet sliding ever so slowly.
Lucian sighed a millisecond before he saw it happen and dropped the book and opened his arms letting Candace fall into them. He also crouched a little to lessen her force when she hit his arms, "You should be more careful" He said looking in to her eyes.
His pure silver eyes stared into hers "No problem Candy." He said as she smiled at him he felt her warmth and smelled her perfume, "So want down and what perfume are you wearing?" He asked curious what that enticing smell was.
He smiled for real showing his abnormally long and sharp canines from his wolf side. "well then don't wear any because that smell is perfect." He said not realizing what that sounded like until after he said it. He still held her up without any sign of getting tired.
"No your nowhere near heavy I bet I can even guess your weight." He said bouncing her a little to test her weight. He had benched double his weight before and he weighed 190 so he was strong even by supernatural terms.
He lifted her out a little like he did dumbbells and then said "Hmmm 125 to 130." He knew he was close at least within 10 pounds of her actual weight, but she hadn't moved to get down yet so he kept her holding her liking her smell.
Lucian could read humans well enough that he knew what the finger meant and he just acted on impulse and ducked his head down to her's and met her lips tender at first as he tasted her.
He felt her twitch a little as if she didn't expect him to be that daring. He was glad they were alone since he really had no idea what he was doing. He felt her push back her lips and he returned her force.
He opened his eyes they were a glittering silver now "Mine as well." He said looking at her blushing cheeks with a warm smile he almost never wore.
He put his nose to her neck and inhaled deep and long then said "Like a forest in the morning or a meadow of flowers." He said noticing she wanted to know her own scent only because he liked it.
Lucian smiled a bit then said "Well you do and so where to next then?" He asked looking down at her wistfully.Just as he asked Erebos crept over and nudged him saying with his eyes 'I want something'
Erebos mad a point and bit Lucian's shin gently "Hey! no need for that mutt!." He looked back at Candace "Sure I could eat.
((Its fine))Lucian took her hand and had the book in his hand as he walked the hallways with her and his wolf looking over the cobblestone walls.
((Ok forget my last on Court yard))Lucian smiled and saw Candy he decided he wanted to be a bit funny so he looked at Emebros and signaled to go greet her alone as he jumped to the second floor of the library which ran right above her table.
((Delete button for a reason))He smiled as he moved silently around to be above her the balcony hanging over her head. He smiled as he slipped over the balcony and hung upside down then let an Icicle form holding him up as he slid down in front of her. "Hello Candace." He said softly as she stared into her book.
((Just let him do the spider man reference and we go from there.))
He smiled then kissed her back thinking 'well this is a new experience' as he hung upside down from a icicle kissing her. Then when she moved to grab a book he bent the icicle so he could release and just twist to the ground.
He smiled noticing it was a bit high so he lent his growth power to his nails and then started climbing the shelf with just his hands.
Lucian got to the book and smiled he took it out then just turned and fell of the shelf landing on his feet with a slight crouch. "Here you are." He said wondering if she really needed it.
He sat down as well "Why are you not looking at me now?" He asked wondering why.
"Well you do have some nice eyes." He said just saying the truth.
He smiled and asked "Don't boys usually say that to girls?" He wondered since he really hadn't hung out with humans for any amount of time.
Lucian saw the words on her face "Well you are cute." He spoke the truth as he knew it.
Lucian smiled and said "Thanks I wouldn't even know how to grade that I have spent almost all my years in the wild.
((sorry was running a insane thread in another group hard to keep track of everything))Lucian said "The first time was awesome so yes." He looked at her face with a grin.
The library is on the bottom floor of the Other Tower. There are thousands of shelves with ladders-since they have all the books in the whole world, even secret notes and sketches by Leonardo Da Vinci, Issac Newton, Eisenstein and more-and aisles in the library and it is the size of maybe three soccer-fields placed together. It is lit by golden chandeliers and there are search computers stationed at the front and back of all the shelves. Also, there are three-on in the center, one at the right side of the library and one on the left side of the library-wide moving tracks in the library so people don't have to walk that far.
When you search a description-either a book or a model of an invention-onto the computer, it will give you something like this:
Searched four poor girls, one maid, mother, father in the army, once rich
Title: Little Women
Number: 377789
Aisle: 65
Row: 10
