[Wright Memorial Library]"I CAN do it"

Summer 65, AV 513

There was a quite a long time now she arrived back to Zeltiva. And back to her beloved library... her home. She was just standing now at the window. Staring out at the busy town. Everyone walked in-out, right-left or talked or worked hard. Business as usual. It was too noisy for her. Too many annoying factors. She looked at the library. It was about time for students to come. She became invisible again and haunted the library as always. But it was not enough. She had enough with being a shadow and do everything in secret.

It was time for a change... She couldn't hide anymore. A few people knew her anyway. But what could she do? Get know with others. Surely not. She couldn't do that. She had to sit down again and had to think. How how? Not everyone likes ghosts. A lot time, a lot chimes has pasted while she was sitting there and thinking. And the most obvious way was in front of her... next to her? She looked at her right. The Head Librarian was there. She was walking around the library. Elaine had an idea. She had to ask her to get a job. She spent a lot time there she could help. She knew nearly everything about the books and the library. And she kinda liked Lisaelis. She realized that just now.

She stood up and started to walk after her. She was in hurry to reach her. The temperature dropped down a bit around her and around Lisaelis too. She waited a bit. She didn't want everyone to watch them. She was still walking and walking. There were many students and people there now. And now they were in a silent place only them. Before Elaine could even use her soulmist to materialize herself Lisaelis was faster and welcomed The Silent Lady. " Elaine...How long do you want to chase me? I didn't have time but welcome back to the library dear ghost." Elaine was so suprised. How did she know she was there? How did she know her name? Lisaelis turned around now and she was looking at the ghost with a serious face.

Elaine looked more solid again with her blouse and skirt. Like a painting." How...?" She wanted to whisper but the Head librarian was fast. "Don't you know I have a 'little' auristics? And I felt it was suddenly colder. What do you want from me Elaine? Long time no see there... Neither as alive or as a ghost..." She was amazed and suddenly couldn't talk at all. How should she ask her? What to ask her? She was still looking with her empty eyes but it was a bit different now.

"Ma'am! I want to work her. I want to officially work here and help here. I don't want to hide anymore. I can be a lot help. I CAN do it. Even I'm not the strongest but I will be stronger and I ... I... know the library well. I don't need money or anything at all... just let me 'haunt' there further. This is my only home there." She made her request with a big sigh and she was looking at the head librarian. She wanted this badly. She needed a new start. She needed a little peace. She needed to rest and train herself.

Liesaelis raised up one her eyebrows. She didn't answer first, she was thinking a bit. She went one of the table where there were two seats. She offered a seat to Elaine too with a wave. Elaine turned there and she sat down too. The head librarian still asked her. Made sure if Elaine was trully willing to serve this library... her home. " My dear, I know you since you visited the library first. You were so bright when your mother brought there. And even after your death you tried to read... Hardly but you tried. But Elaine why do you want to do this? Don't you have other things to do? Something don't let you move on. Shouldn't you deal with that?" Elaine whispered her answers.

"... But I don't know what are they... I might know but I don't know what to do yet. I only have two friends, neither of them are here. I really want to be here in peace and rest a bit. I don't have to walk in secrets in the library then anymore and I could help so everything would be in order. I don't need money... anything, just let this library be my home." Lisaelis had a gentle smile on her face. She was amused by the ghost a bit. Elaine didn't smile at all. She was serious about this. She wanted this. And she respected Lisaelis. That's why she asked that's why she wanted to make it official.

Some of the students and others were looking at them now. They noticed that a materialized girl was sitting with the head librarian. They even tried to come closer to hear their converstation. It wasn't so usual to see a ghost who was talking to Lisaelis. Neither her and neither Elaine dealt with them. "Elaine. I appreciate that. I'm still not sure about that. BUT I'll give you a chance. You can be my assistant there and help to deal with these many kind of knowledges we have collected there. You can read and help to others. Even taking books to the right sections if you have enough power. ALTHOUGHT! I have some terms. You have to be a good ghost! Don't be violent to others such as scare them, touch them to freeze them or distrub them. You can only scare them away if they are violent too or they distrub the library! YOU MUST NOT possess anyone only if the person ask you. Unless it's necessary but ask somebody instead if there is a serious problem. If you are here and you think something not right. But that won't happen. Do you accept this and be my assistant?" She stretched out her arm toward Elaine.

Elaine couldn't help and smiled too now. She shook the Head Librarian's hand quickly then she let it go so she won't freeze it too much. "I agree these terms and I'll gladly join. I promise I'll keep everything in order." Lisaelis stood up and nodded and she was still smiling at her. "So be it. I'm sure you will take your duty seriously. Now if you excuse me." And with that she was going away. Elaine stood up too. Everyone in the library was looking at the Head Librarian with big eyes. They weren't sure if it was the right thing to do. They started to whispering and talking. Elaine looked around started to walk and do her job."Please keep your voice down at the library. Don't disturb others." And with that she was going visible at the library. She didn't have to deal to hide now. The work could begin.

Additional Comments :
This was an adorable thread. Elaine's seriousness making it all the more amusing as she seeks to be a help rather than a hindrance, even in death. The last part was simply priceless, so I hope you enjoy the accompanying lore.
