The Secret Library Sofia The First Novels & Stories

Vincent asked as they pulled up to the building. Sofia nodded, her voice steady despite her racing heart. "I have to know, Vincent. Whatever it is." As she stepped out of the car and approached the warehouse, Sofia felt as though she was walking into the unknown. But she was done with lies and half-truths. Whatever secrets awaited her inside, she was ready to face them head-on. With one last glance at Vincent, who nodded reassuringly, Sofia pushed open the rusty door and stepped into the darkness beyond.

Then two can play. “My gaze flicked to Sofia. I needed her to believe me. Needed her to believe I hadn't seen Salvatore. My eyes unconsciously went back to the beast. And I hissed. “You told me, he wasn’t there with you yesterday when I asked Iris, Was that a lie?” Sofia asked. Sofia looked at me like a detective trying to drag the truth out of a criminal. My body was shaking lightly, but I needed to make myself believable. “Like I said Sofia, I didn’t see him. He must have walked into the library without me noticing. You know how much of a living ghost he can be, if he can slip past the trained guards. Then who am I to notice he was even in the library with me?”

Renata squirms, tiny fist curling in Sofia’s shirt, and Libby’s gaze drops to her like she’s been pulled by gravity. “This is Renata,” Sofia says, pride softening her voice. “She’s beautiful,” Libby says quietly. It’s the first thing she’s said that doesn’t sound rehearsed. I clock that immediately. “She screams like a banshee,” Sofia adds cheerfully. “But she’s cute, so we forgive her.” Libby huffs out a breath that might be a laugh. Might just be air escaping. I step in before the silence gets heavy. “Okay. Orientation. First rule—nothing here is life or death.”

After the tour Rosa and Sofia thanked Will and went back to their room. They were exhausted and decided to take a nap till dinner time but suddenly Rosa remembered that she left the book which she borrowed in the library so she rushed back to the library. After taking the book she was heading back but stopped as she saw a faint reddish glow at the corner of the library. Out of curiosity she went there but what she saw there scared her out of her wits. She would have never imagined it in her wildest dreams.

Not even my sight can pierce the shielding placed there by the First Kings. “I’m not looking with my eyes,” Sofia said, her voice growing steady. She began to walk toward the wall, her footsteps light and purposeful. “I’m looking with the friction. The air is rubbing against something that isn't supposed to be there. It’s a pocket. A hidden chamber.” (NOMO HOLT’S POINT OF VIEW)

Everyone knew the stakes had changed. “She’s in the library,” Diego whispered. “Alone. The meeting’s in ten minutes.” Alex nodded. “Keep a lookout. No interruptions.” He made his way through the west corridor, each footstep echoing softly off the marble. The library doors were ajar. He paused, breath steadying. Then he pushed them open. She stood with her back to him, fingers skimming over the spine of an old volume—The Prince by Machiavelli. Of course. “Sophia.”

Someone had wanted the world to forget. A heavy tome cracked open to reveal illustrations of ceremonies. Figures dressed in white, standing beneath a silver moon, with a woman at the center of the drawings. Her hands raised, light spilling from her palms. Around her, wolves stood—not attacking, but bowing. My chest tightened at the sight. I whispered, “Is this what you are, Sofia?” A sudden chill moved through the library, though no windows were open. The lamp flickered, shadows bending unnaturally along the walls. I gritted my teeth and continued.

Flipping it over in his hands several times before handing it to us with a deep sigh. Nina takes the picture and she stares at it, assessing the image. I watch through her eyes, pressing against the veil to get closer. The image was from several months ago, I remember Byron posting it on Mybook. It was a picture of me in my room but someone had zoomed in on the bookshelf behind me. Circled in red pen was a crystal wolf figurine on top of a box. It was coming back to me now. The random gift was missing. “The wolf box. That’s what’s missing.”

He put on a black long-sleeve button-down shirt, used his leather jacket, and even took the trouble to iron his jeans, decided to completely shave his face, and decided to walk calmly to the library so as not to get sweaty. Upon arriving at the library, He then enters to discover Sofia sitting at one of the library tables dressed in her typical reserved outfit, hiding her body. A long turtle sweater that even covered her hands was at least one size larger than she needed. She was also wearing oversized jeans and was staring at some books, flipping through them quickly, moving them from side to side, reading a page of one and a page from another. With a smile, Alex walked with the utmost gent

“Not like them. Not hidden. Not encrypted. Just truth. On our terms.” Bianca exhaled. “You want to make our own vault?” “No,” Sofia said. “I want to build a library.” Rosa chuckled once. “You gonna print pamphlets? Hand them out?” Sofia said nothing. Then pulled a flash drive from her coat. “Matteo didn’t only connect to the vault. He uploaded fragments. Notes. Names. Entry logs. Ritual structures. It’s not complete. But it’s enough to tell our version.” Alessio stared at it.
