He watched as she sprinted off.Hey! Wait for me! he thought, thinking it may be slightly childish if he said that aloud under the situation.He ran after her, keeping up quite well.As he ran down the hall, curiously he looked at some of the picture..taking the adults in the pictures were her parents.He looked away.He reached the door at the end of the hall right after she had.
"I win." She said jokingly as she opened the door. Once she did, dozens of large shelves in a half circle shaped room stood holding thousands of books.
He stood behind her as she opened the door, he peeked inside once she opened the door.He saw hundreds, no, thousands of books on shelves.His mouth opened slightly.He was in awe,
"They've been collected by my family over generations. Isn't it beautiful?" A single tear fell from her eye.
Aiko nodded."Yes.Beautiful..." he said.He walked forward a bit, but noticed a tear on Graces cheek."Are you, crying mistress?"
Grace wiped her hand with her face. "I always cry when I come in her after a long time. To me this is something I'm proud of. And I can't help but cry tears of joy when I see its still around."
"Its your pride and joy huh.." Aiko mused looking around at all the books.
Grace laughed a bit. "Right next to the garden I guess you could call this my pride and joy."
"You have a garden?" He asked looking back at her.
Grace walked into the library and climbed a ladder to get to a high shelf. "Yep. I read out there sometimes as well."
Aiko watched her from the doorway."Wow" he said.This place had everything.
Grace looked down at him from her place on the ladder. "Well don't be shy, come on in here." She called to him. "You can read any book you want as long as you put it back once you're done."
He stepped into the room, closing the door behind him.He started to wander around, looking from book to book to hook.So much variety, so many choices.
Grace continued to search for a book from her place on the ladder until the ladder began to rock back and forth. The girl found herself falling off of the high ladder, screaming on her way down. "Aiko!"
Aiko looked back hearing the mistress scream.He ran over in her direction.Man being part cat had its advantages, he could run quite fast when he wanted to.He caught the mistress, before she crashed.
Grace opened her eyes, thinking she had hit the ground, to see aiko there. "Thank you aiko. Any later and I would have broken something."
"Anything for the mistress" he said with a smile.Expesically if it ment keeping her from breaking something.
Grace looked up at him, realizing the position she was in at the moment. "Umm.... Could you please put me down?" She asked nicely, a slight pink taint to her face.
"Sorry.." he said setting her down.
"Its alright. After all, I definetely owe you now." Grace brushed herself off and propped the ladder up away from the bookshelf. "Again, thank you for saving me."
