The librarian told her to wait a moment and quickly scanned an index card, directing her to a section of the library devoted to the topic in question. With a quiet word of thanks Elizabeth brought a massive pile of books to a table and began delving into the topic. Within moments she had forgotten about Odessa and was cross-referencing her books in an attempt to decipher the strange scrawling in the notebook. Behind her, hidden from all except Elizabeth herself, who was of course preoccupied, was a hideous monster that peered over her shoulder at the book, somehow seemingly silently amused by the human's attempts to decipher it. Some sort of sixth sense triggered and Elizabeth whirled around to see the creature. With a cry of surprise she fell out of her seat and landed on the floor. 

The librarian gave her a disapproving frown and shushed her, before turning back to her own work. Somewhat sheepishly but more scared than anything else Elizabeth regained her feet and placed her books back on the table. [b]"What the hell are you."[/b] She demanded angrily, but quietly. The odd figure shrugged. [i]"Ichigo."[/i] Elizabeth stared some more. [b]"And what the hell were you doing creeping on me like that."[/b] It shrugged again. [i]"I was curious. You had my book, even if you can't seem to use it."[/i] Elizabeth started again in surprise. The book belonged to this thing? [b]"Then."[/b] Elizabeth continued on in a quieter tone of voice. [b]"Then, you can read it right?"[/b] The monster nodded casually, [i]"Of course I can read it, it's mine after all."[/i] Elizabeth looked around cautiously. [b]"You're coming home with me."[/b] She said decisively and snatched her notebook off the table and quickly began walking home. The monster behind her gave what was apparently a signature shrug and followed her, floating after silently.
