As I climbed into the dusty, dark attic, more books were scattered everywhere, small rows of cacti and some carnivorous plants loomed over the bookshelves. "Gosh, this place is filthy," I muttered to myself. I looked behind me, only to see towering bookshelves who thought they were taller than me. I picked out each and every book from the shelves, wondering if there was a bookshelf that may turn. I noticed a doll with wide eyes staring on my from on top of the book shelf, sort of like the Elf On The Shelf my mom puts on the shelf for Christmas. I glared at the doll suspiciously, thinking to myself, "Okay, doll. Let's see what you got!" I picked up the doll and the bookshelf turned, I gasped in surprise, but stopped when the shelf fully turned around. Then I heard a sound. Clang, clang, clang! I gasped! Something was coming, and it was coming in my direction! I quickly hide underneath the cabinet, praying to dear God that the creature wouldn't find me. I looked down and wished the floor can suck me in and hide me under the floorboards. The creature hissed and growled, as it scouted the area. Then something caught my eye! A.. golden book? There and then, I knew what I was supposed to do! It was like the library from Doors! I noticed the creature randomly bumped into things, and it was my cue! The creature was blind! I smirked as I collected 2 books from the left bookshelf, the creature passed by. I got another 3 books and made my way up to the Grand Staircase to the upper floor! "Hey! Isn't this easy?" I thought, but the creature could hear my faint footsteps, I quickly hid in a closet while holding my breath as the creature inspected it. The creature roared in anger and stormed away from the closet down the stairs. I hid next to a plant while seeing the message on the door, "To escape the Viper, you must decode the secret message!" I stared down at my books, who was giving me riddles! "What goes up, but never goes down?" I immediately draw a symbol of an old person with a walking stick. I continued to decode until the last one caught me by surprise! "What makes you happy, but never makes you sad? Please write an answer!" I started to wonder, "What makes you happy, but never sad?" I guess a few times, but it was wrong. I gasped and smirked and wrote nothing and then opened the door! But the Viper was coming! I closed the door as soon as it reached it's claws through the door, cutting it off! The bloodthirsty monster wailed in anger and agony, as it banged furiously on the door! I smiled, what was next to happen?
