*Rita's P.O.V.*

Terra led the Librarians and I to the edge of the zoo, to what appeared to be a run down shed next to a oddly shaped tree. I was beginning to think that either Terra was a spy for the government or she was mentally insane. But when Terra pressed a couple of old board on the "wall", a secret door opened on the trees trunk!

"Terra, I'm so happy yet so confused right now," Luke gave Terra a lopsided grin, causing Ezekiel and I to giggle at his childlike smile. Terra chuckled before going inside, the rest of us following close behind. I made sure Luke stayed close to me, keeping my eyes peered open for trouble.... Or a trap...... Or both.

Down a flight of stairs we went, weaving through a maze of doors and hallways. Walking to a eerily familiar stain glass doors, Terra opened said doors and told us, turning on some lights, "Welcome guys! This is Dr. Livingstone's workspace! Make yourselves at home......!" "Why does this place look like the Annex?" Timothy asked outloud, spinning around a couple of times.

I wasn't too sure if it was surprise on Terra's face or not, but she finally managed to spit out, "Wait, you've been here before?" Cassandra quickly spoke up, "Not in this particular Annex, but we have been in a Annex like this before." Flynn Carson walked around, telling us, "This is an interface, a place where a Librarian can access the Library's knowledge if he was far from the front door."

Raising an eyebrow, I whispered to Jake, "We have a front door now?" In reply, Jake tried not to facepalm as he replied, "There was a front door, once upon a time; but since Dulaque and the Serpent Brotherhood attacked the Library, the front door was moved from New York City to Portland, Oregon."

All I decided to do was nod my head.

Dulaques name was still extremely bitter to me.

"But where is Dr. Livingstone?" Eve Baird asked, causing Luke to squeak out, "You don't think.....?!?" "That Dulaque got here before us?" I asked, clenching and unclenching my fists, "Quite possibly!" Almost on cue, a chilling voice boomed across the Annex's walls, "It's not quite possibly, my child; it's a definite yes." Spinning around, everyone looked up.

Dulaque stood on the balcony, holding a well dressed Man with glasses and brown hair prisoner, Dulaques sword close to the man's neck! Terra immediately recognized the man, yelling as she ran forward, "DOCTOR LIVINGSTONE!!!!" Timothy held Terra back, looking terrified as he stared at the formal knight of the round table.

Dulaque glared at Timothy, Terra and myself. As Flynn whisper to Eve, Dulaque darkly declared, "Now that I have your attention, I'd like you to hand over the werewolf, the toy manipulating mutant, and the immortal, right now.... OR someone will get hurt....." Flynn and Cassandra began to quietly walk towards the bottom of the balcony, Eve distracting Dulaque by asking, "How do we know that you'll keep your word?"

Dulaques smirk caused me to inwardly shudder, replying as Ezekiel secretly typed on his cellphone, "You don't!" His smirk turning into a growl, Dulaque ordered, "Now, do as I say, or else Terra's precious Dr. Livingstone is going to die....!"

"Now?" Flynn asked Eve.

"NOW!" Eve yelled.

Flynn motioned to Cassandra, who used a magic spell to shake the balcony! Dulaque lost his grip on the doctor, causing Dr. Livingstone to fall over the balconies edge! Quickly thinking, I cast a spell to catch the caretaker, lowering him gently down to the ground. Once his feet were on the floor, Dr. Livingstone hugged Terra, who hugged back as she cried, "Doctor! Are you alright?!"

"Yes, I'm perfectly fine........ Ugh!?!" Dr. Livingstone stumbled a bit, nearly falling on top of Terra! Luckily, Luke caught the caretaker, looking surprised at the dart sticking up from Dr. Livingstones neck. Dulaque shook his head as he lowered a dart gun, chiding, "Did you really think, that I would let him go without consequences?"

Terra got to her feet, glaring at the immortal with pure hatred as she yelled, "What have you done to him?!?" Dulaque began to walk down the balcony stairs, (as we regrouped), telling her simply, "I poisoned him. Don't worry, your precious Doctor is no good to me dead...."

What Dulaque said confused me, but I ordered my friends, "We need to get out of here..... Now!" Jake grabbed Terra, dragging her away as the Librarians ran back the way we came. Timothy and Luke carried the unconscious doctor with us, Eve and I making sure Dulaque couldn't grab anyone of us.

Dulaque watched us leave through the Back Door, (back to our Annex), smirking as he told me personally, "Watch your back, Rita. You never know who you can trust these days." I backed away from the immortal, backing through the Back Door. Our eyes stayed locked on together, until I turned and hurried after the others. Now why the heck would Dulaque warn me to watch my back? What was Dulaque planning?

***Time Skip***

"How is he, Mr. Jenkins?" Terra asked Jenkins, once our caretaker had come out from his lab. Jenkins sighed before telling the concerned Terra, I standing by her side, "Dr. Livingstone will be alright. But, he's been infected with a magic spell that has greatly affected his legs and spine.... I'm sorry, but Dr. Livingstone will have to use a wheelchair from now, until I make a cure for him....."

Terra looked upset by the news, before she frowned darkly and walked away. Jenkins looked worried, asking me, "Is Terra going to regroup with the Librarians at the zoo?" Closing my eyes, I focused on reading Terra's mind. Her mind.... it was filled with anger and hate towards Dulaque. A plan began to form in Terras mind, a dark and dangerous plan.....

Opening my eyes, I gasped in a panic, "Jenkins, Terra isn't gonna regroup with the others! She's going to try to kill Dulaque!" Jenkins eyes widen, grabbing a sword before saying, "That's a suicide mission for any mortal, mutant or not!" "Ya think?!?" I asked in a sarcastic manner, as we walked to the Back Door.

Clyde looked startled, asking as he stood up from a chair, "What's going on?" "Stay here," Jenkins ordered a confused Clyde, "Keep Dr. Livingstone safe. Rita and I have a Librarian to save!" And just like that, Jenkins and I walked through the Back Door, his sword and my bow in hand. Let's just hope that we can save Terra before she gets herself killed......
