Look Up

I wrote this piece last year in English for my folio and ended up actually liking it to a degree, So I’m posting it here.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“You aren’t afraid of being alone in the dark, you’re afraid of not being alone in the dark.”

A saying his mother had taught him from a young age. Although it didn’t really apply to him anymore. He was always in the dark.

Having no eyes frequently impacted his work. As a librarian, he couldn’t read any of the books people asked for and often had an apprentice who would do the work he couldn’t.

Such a pity that his last one disappeared. The town had given their condolences to The Librarian, well, those who weren’t too scared of him. 

Luckily, finding another hadn’t been too difficult. A ding of the bell above the door told him that somebody had just entered the library.

“Hello? Mr Librarian?”

His name was unknown to everyone in town, even the young apprentice now standing in his doorway. Oliver was his name. A smartly dressed young man with platinum blond hair. 

The Librarian scuttled through the bookshelves to greet him. “Ah, you must be Oliver, hm?” His voice was raspy, as if his throat was dry. That was another feature that tended to put people off. He was wearing a simple cloak, a cobweb pattern embroidered into the lining.

“Oh-! Yes that- that’s me-“, timid, yet still so enthusiastic. The Librarian smiled, “there are two rules here, boy,” he grabbed his wrist, almost yanking him towards a black, menacing gate. The words ‘Forbidden Section’ were written across it. 

“Under no circumstance do you enter this section of the library. And don’t be loud.”

That was it? Oliver wasn’t about to complain but these seemed like very relaxed rules for a man people were utterly petrified of.

“Uhm- sir- if you don’t mind me asking,”

“Hm?”

“Do you have a name?”

“That’s none of your concern, boy. Just call me Librarian.”

The next few weeks passed without an issue. The Librarian asked his questions, all of which Oliver answered honestly. The oddest one being about the colour of his eyes. A soft blue. He’d found the smile The Librarian gave him rather scary after that.  Oliver asked his questions too, but The Librarian never answered, and when he did, Oliver didn’t know if he believed him. The only issues the young man ever had with the job was the lack of light in the building. He had once suggested they get more lights in the library, however The Librarian only responded with very a firm ‘no’. Oliver didn’t ask again.

One day, The Librarian told him to stay late, as he had something for Oliver.

As the Librarian led him towards the back of the library, he lit a torch, stopping just in front of the gate of the Forbidden Section and muttered something in a language Oliver didn’t understand. “Aperi viam”.

And just like that, the gate slowly opened.

“For being such a wonderful apprentice, I’m going to give you a book. You aren’t obligated to read it, although I recommend you do.” He said, no other explanation behind it.

“..Okay.” Confusion riddled Oliver’s features.  

The Librarian pulled out a book from one of the shelves. Its cover looked old, as if it hadn’t been read in a long time. Oliver frowned. If he wasn’t allowed back here then why was The Librarian giving him this book? Before he could question him, The Librarian was rushing him back out and towards the door of the shop.

“I’ll be seeing you tomorrow, young man.”

Upon arriving home, the book was discarded on a chair. Forgotten about until it was far too late.

The book had completely left Oliver’s mind by the time he entered the library the next day. All seemed well, although The Librarian was nowhere to be seen.

“Hello?” He waited for a few short seconds, before taking a few more steps inside. He scanned the room, but there was nothing to indicate the man was there. He decided to look around, hoping that he was somewhere out of sight. But he couldn’t find The Librarian anywhere. One thing that did catch his eye however, was the fact that the wide open gate to the Forbidden Section. He took a deep breath, before lighting a torch, just as they had the day before, and stepping through the gate.

He walked slowly, the knot in his stomach tightening with each passing step.

He was actively breaking the number one rule of the library. Don’t enter the Forbidden Section alone.

“You silly, silly boy.”

He jumped at the sound of the voice. He couldn’t place exactly where it had come from, but it was with him. Somewhere nearby.

“I told you to read that book, yet here you are.” Oliver was trembling. The library had always made its odd noises and scared him a couple of times, but it had never been like this, he had never felt like he was in genuine danger.

“Look up.”

Holding up the torch, the last thing he saw was The Librarian hanging from the ceiling, like a spider, his head rotated 180°. It was the most horrifying sight he’d ever seen, and it would unfortunately be his last. He began to make a run for it, but The Librarian seemed to move at a speed that no man should be able to. The moment he was directly above Oliver, he dropped from the ceiling.

Everything went dark.

When The Librarian awoke from the surgery, he laughed. Oliver’s eyes had been the perfect colour, the perfect size. Perfect. The Librarian could finally see. After all these years.

His doctor, Samuel Voytek, was a gifted man. Both in his practice of medicine and magic. This hadn’t been the first time that he’d done the surgery for The Librarian. None of the other eyes had been right though. But these ones. These soft, blue eyes that he’d so miraculously found. They were everything he could’ve wanted.

The book that the Librarian had gifted Oliver had told him what would happen. If Oliver had read the book and hadn’t returned to the library again, then he would still be alive. The Librarian would have left him alone and found another. Alas, he forgot all about the book, and had lost his eyes for it. His life. He told the boy’s family that he had been killed by an animal in the forest after he had sent Oliver out to gather firewood for him. The eyes now in his head, he had explained, had come from another kingdom. They just happened to look similar to that of his former apprentice’s eyes.
