I heard Papa calling from downstairs, but I couldn’t stop. “Come on, Brigid! We will get in trouble if they find us up here!” Aisling pulled at my arm before starting to put the candles, herbs, vials, and crystals back in the chest. My hands kept on with their task. I turned the crescent moon back before I opened the cover of the book. Thick black smoke began to pour out of the book. Aisling screamed from behind me. I heard Papa running towards us and clambering up the ladder to the attic.

For the city held secrets far older and more sinister than he could have ever dreamed, secrets that threatened to consume him whole. Chapter 7: The Revelations As the traveler emerged from the depths of the Forbidden Library, his mind reeling with the revelations he had uncovered, he found himself face to face with the enigmatic stranger from the marketplace. "You've been busy, traveler," the stranger said, his voice tinged with a hint of amusement. "But have you found what you were looking for?" The traveler hesitated for a moment, unsure of how much to reveal. But then, with a sense of clarity that seemed to come from somewhere deep within, he spoke.

Faith stands up with a serious look on her face and talks to the walls when she says, “Please let me take this book with me. I promise I will take good care of it but I need it to continue spreading good in the world.” It remains silent around us which we take as their blessing for taking the book. We hurry up the stairs and out of the library. I quickly get on Thorn his back and wait for Faith who is staring at the top of the library like she is saying goodbye. Then she sits behind me and I say, “You could always come back when the war is over.”

Was the secret hidden in the words? Kiran quickly opened the first book he read yesterday. It was no. 7 of the first edition, and it was the one Margaret gave him. Everything was the same when he read up until page 7, but when he flipped to page 17, he was shocked to find out that the seventh word in the seventh line was the word ‘nine’, whereas the other edition and Yvonne’s edition had the word ‘sky’. Kiran seemed to have found the secret combination. He quickly looked at Mr. Simmon’s poisoned book, and according to his calculations, he flipped to page 557. The seventh line had the word ‘steal’ in it, but the other two books had the word ‘smile’.

At the center stood a circular table engraved with seven empty recesses. He approached slowly. Removed a leather journal from his coat. Opened it to a page that had yellowed with age. A hand-drawn illustration covered both pages. Seven circles. Connected exactly as Charlotte had drawn them. Beneath the image, faded ink read: When the Seven awaken, the Bridge shall open. When the Bridge opens… He turned the page. It had been torn out. His jaw tightened. Someone had stolen the ending centuries ago. He looked up toward the ceiling. “Find them,” he whispered into the darkness.

Entirely too close. But his eyes never left hers. “We use it,” he said. “Every memory. Every file. Every name. We use all of it and burn them with it.” Elena’s pulse thudded. Sophia. Ethan. Victor. Samuel. Factory Seven. The photograph. The child in white. The pieces were finally taking shape, and the picture they formed was monstrous. A sound cut through the rain. An engine. Headlights flashed once at the far end of the service road.

Diego squeezes my shoulder, then peels off to update our father and praise the guards for their quick work, allowing me to go see what it is I need to see. I carefully walk into the library where a few guards are still pouring buckets of water on smoldering coals. The windows have been opened, but the air is still hot with steam and smoke. I cough in my fist as I take in the charred remains of what used to be the library, nothing but piles of ashes in various sizes.

I lift a chair off it, and the furniture crumples into ash in my hands.
