Library Adventures I
Vittorio sat in the library. Just as always if you regard his fanatical hunger for wisdom and knowledge about the Realm of Ancient Egypt. It was the very same armchair he always sat in, every day, every week, every month of the year. Except for those few days the library is closed, which is always the horror for him.
The library is big and he doesn't often meet other people, mostly because he sat in a corner of the library not many people approach. He really enjoyed the silence, the building was so old, he could hear every step that was made in this very section.
Well, it was late afternoon of a Friday. Normal people would go out with their friends, but Vittorio didn't have friends. And he didn't wanted them. The only things he wanted were silence and books.
The afternoon was perfect, he thought. He just began to read another one of these old leather-back books as he heard paw steps. Fast paw steps. His ears perked up high. Someone was literally running through the section.
Nothing of concern, he thought and lowered his canine ears again as he continued to absorb these letters into his brain.
The paws came nearer, and nearer. Every second, they became louder. Vittorio didn't dare to look over the rim of his book. He could not quite concentrate anymore on his book, he had to speak to himself, that he should calm down.
Talking to himself, the jackal discussed with himself, that these paws are running through this sector, which was like a holy hall for him.
Just as he wanted to rage, he heard a big smash. Whoever just ran through the library, this one was way too fast to brake and literally ran into the wall behind a big bookshelf. Seconds later, this one fell to the floor.
Vit didn't see who it was, but he didn't know if he should help or something. But he didn't really care, since it was their own fault, that they got hurt.
But then, the paws were back again, whoever ran against the wall, they weren't about to give up. Vittorio was now looking up, as a female anthropomorphic Wolf came around the corner, using her claws to get the same turn she failed on before.
With the same speed as she crashed into the obstacle called massive wall, she was now sprinting towards Vittorio. He looked through his glasses and started to panic a little.
What was she on about?
With a big jump out of her speed, she jumped into the armchair right in front of Vittorio. It always fell over but the wolf could balance it in the last bit of a second.
Now Vittorio saw something right in front of him, that surprised him even more than the Wolf herself.
