Gabriel walked into the school library, his features settled into his permanent frown and icy blue stare. He began to casually stroll towards the shelves, hands in his pockets. As he walked through, he scanned the titles quickly, moving along at an extremely fast pace. After a few moments, he finally picked a book out of the shelf and glanced over the cover with a look of slight interest.
Don't touch that one! A voice in his head shouted, startling him. He dropped the book and it made a hollow thunk.
Muttering curses to himself, he picked the book up and glanced around to make sure no one was staring. Gabriel haphazardly shoved the book into the wrong spot and began looking again. Finally, he sees a large, dark-covered book and picks it up.
Yes! Another voice sounded in the back of his mind and he sighed.
He cracked open the book, held the pages in his hand, and began rapidly letting go of them, as one would do with a flipbook. Once finished, the information from the book flashed through his head. He sorted through the information, despite being entirely disinterested in it.
"Fantasy...monsters...hunters...love story..." He rolled his blue eyes at that one, "...twist ending...whatever," Gabriel set the book down on a near-empty shelf and walked along, continuing the process.
