You swing high, aiming for his temple

You hit him hard and high; harder than you expected. His eyes close as he falls backwards onto the floor. The librarian looks back and forth between him and you, unable to believe what she is seeing. Everyone in the library freezes in some kind of supernatural stasis, unsure of what comes next.

From behind you, you hear the voice of a strange, small creature. You turn and see the imp.

“Good. Good! You’ve taken control.” He walks up close to you and whispers, “Why don’t you take the book and run? I’ll take care of this.”

Not needing a second reason to leave, you secure the book in your backpack. You're still not entirely convinced that this imp creature isn't a figment of your imagination, but you're not willing to stick around and find out. You glance over your shoulder at the librarian as you exit. Her eyes are as sultry as ever, but now you seem to be the object of her affections. It feels a little bit weird, considering what just went down, but you make note of it.

Then you stop in your tracks… maybe you should take the librarian with you? Who knows what the night might hold, right? Whatever you decide, you know you need to make it quick.
