“Lisa, open the door.” No response. He pounded his fist on the wood. “Open the damn door!” Still nothing. He leaned in and pressed his ear to the wood. For a moment, all was quiet. No running water. No movement. No Lisa. He turned to walk away. CREAK. The sound froze him mid-step. He spun around. The door was flexing inward, the timber bending unnaturally as if it were breathing. A second later, it clicked open by itself, slowly swinging inward on silent hinges.

We navigated the winding corridors of the first floor until we finally reached the massive double doors of the private library. Kade pushed the doors open and walked directly to the back wall of the room, stopping in front of a tall wooden bookshelf filled with heavy encyclopedias. He reached behind a thick leather-bound volume and pulled a hidden metal lever. The entire bookshelf clicked loudly and swung outward on heavy steel hinges, revealing a thick reinforced steel door equipped with a digital keypad. Kade typed a rapid sequence of numbers into the glowing panel, and the heavy door hissed open to expose a brightly lit concrete room.

He had bumped into one of the shelves near him. He bent down to get the book but then his eyes caught sight of something. At the lowest corner of the shelf, there’s a button placed. It was unnoticeable at first but as he looked closer, it was indeed a button. Without second thoughts, he pressed the button slightly, and just then, a rumbling sound came through. The supposedly locked door suddenly opened slowly which made him surprised. “What was that?!… It was an automated door?” So, there’s no key needed to open the door but they have to find the button that connects to it. And lucky for him, if not for the book falling down, he wouldn’t be able to find that button.

he started for the door. Leanunya followed him out onto the streets where he led her through a maze of streets and alleys. Bardok soon stopped at the door of a small home; although it would be better to call it a rotten wooden shack. Bardok opened the door and quickly entered, inviting her in. Leanunya entered and looked around, seeing a small room at the back with curtains for a door. The main room had a table and kitchen basin with a few chairs. Not much to look at.

It made a loud click. Slowly, she pushed the door open. The office was dark, lit only by the dying orange glow of the fireplace. Papers were messy on the floor, and the air smelled like smoke. "Where is it?" I whispered as we slipped inside. "Behind the books," Lisa said. She walked over to a huge wooden bookshelf. She touched the side of a leather book and pulled it. The bookshelf made a loud grinding noise and slid sideways. Behind it was a heavy metal vault door. There was no keyhole—just a flat, smooth piece of black stone.

Alexander stepped into the room right behind me and slammed the double doors shut, sliding a heavy brass security bolt into place. Outside, heavy footsteps were rapidly approaching the door. Someone began kicking violently against the thick wood, trying to break the lock. "Hurry, Chloe!" Alexander hissed, rushing over to the large bookshelf on the far wall. He pulled a hidden lever tucked behind a dark red book. With a low hydraulic hiss, the entire bookshelf slid open, revealing a thick steel door. Alexander typed a rapid six-digit code into the glowing numeric pad beside the steel frame. The heavy door unlocked with a loud metallic click.

I search the room carefully, looking through shelves and drawers till I come across a candle stand sitting on the shelf. What's a candle stand doing on a bookshelf, with tons of books? Doesn't Killian worry about his books getting caught in fire? Unless…... I picked up the candle stand, and to my surprise, it only moved an inch, then a resounding click echoed in the room. I yelped, stumbling backwards when the shelf started moving. It shifts to the right, exposing a door behind it. So doors like these exist not only in movies? Curiosity got the better of me, so I twisted the doorknob and opened the door. It led to another room, well furnished and dimly lit.

Leo called out, his baritone low and steady, unhurried despite the heavy oak pressing against his spine. Gia didn't hesitate. She slid a thick wedge of cured pine under the door's lower edge, her leather-gloved hands moving with quick, practiced rhythm. She struck the end of the wedge three times with a heavy hickory mallet. Thump. Thump. Thump. The door settled onto the pine block with a dull groan, its weight distributed safely off the broken hinge.

“Because the first and the last are the same door.” Silence. “That doesn’t make any sense at all.” “I know.” “Then explain it.” Leon smiled weakly. “That’s why you are here.” He went to a shelf. Between hundreds of books he drew a narrow wooden box. Old. Taken off. He carefully put them on the table. Then he opened it. It was a key. Little. Black metal. Aren immediately knew something was wrong with this key. Not magical. Not supernatural. Rather... old. Older than he could be.

AMBER I tilted my head, intrigued. He pressed a blue book’s spine, causing it to slide back like a button. The bookshelf rattled, revealing a concealed door. Ray turned the gold-plated doorknob twice in opposite directions, unlocking it with a click. The door creaked open. My jaw dropped as I peered inside—a vast library. “This is where we store our knowledge,” he explained as we stepped in. My footsteps echoed against the wooden panel walls as I counted the library’s floors. It had five floors, with the topmost floor veiled in darkness.
