Moonlight Dwelling

Mirta was sitting in the library with books all around her just jumping at the slightest sound.

"Mirta are you all right?"

"Oh it's you Lucy."

"Who did you expect?"

"No one it's just that you startled me."

"Jumpy much?"

"Well you could start humming or yodel instead of creeping up on me."

"What's wrong?"

"I think someone's following me."

"Let's go get something to eat. It's probably the pixies or one of the flying critters around here."

"You're probably right. Let's go."

They walked out of the library and a figure stepped out behind them.
