Lily tried to focus on her homework, but the whispers from the book kept echoing in her mind. She couldn't shake off the feeling that something was watching her. As she walked home from the library, the streets seemed darker and quieter than usual.
When she got home, her brother Lucas was sitting in the living room, reading a book. Lily tried to act normal, but Lucas noticed something was wrong.
"Hey, sis, what's up?" Lucas asked, putting down his book.
Lily hesitated, unsure if she should share her strange experience. But something about Lucas's kind eyes made her open up.
"I found this weird book at the library," Lily said, trying to explain. "It had whispers and symbols... I don't know, it felt creepy."
Lucas listened intently, his expression serious. "Maybe you should stay away from that book, Lil," he said gently.
Lily nodded, but a part of her wanted to go back to the library and uncover more secrets.
