Chapter 18.

The clock on the wall showed 8:39. Tawni was glancing around the cafe as though she was expecting someone. Arthur was tapping his feet on the floor and Merlin sitting slumped in his seat, his eyes slowly drooping shut. The clock reached nine just as Merlin finally fell asleep. "That's it come on let's go." Tawni said standing up.

"What?!" Merlin cried his eyes snapping open and stifling a yawn.

Arthur got up and stretched. "Finally." he muttered, "Let's go b…" he stopped when he noticed the owner of the cafe was watching. "Let's go party."

All three of them headed to the door pulling it open and heading out into the dark chilly night. Arthur smiled back at owner of the cafe who raised a hand in farewell. They ran across the road and stopped in front of the now dark library. "Right our time to shine!" Tawni said with a sly smirk in Merlin's direction. Merlin headed to the front door of the library and Tawni and Arthur went round to the back. "Here we go." Tawni said, rubbing her hands together in anticipation again. She opened her mouth to start again but Merlin raced round to them. "What is it Merlin?" Arthur asked.

"We forgot about the front doors." Merlin replied.

The three of them headed back round to the front of the library and saw that what Merlin said was true. There was indeed an on alarm system by the doors at the front of the building. Along with the alarm system there was a security camera with a small spotlight attached to it. "Damn." Tawni whispered. "Arthur can you possibly run past the camera light and take the red wire out if the box again?" Arthur pulled up his leather gloves on his hands looking directly at Tawni and Merlin. "Challenge accepted." he said and Tawni and Merlin grinned shaking their heads fondly at Arthur again. Arthur pulled his sword from his belt and dodged the spotlight before using his sword to knock the hatch off the box. "Red wire." he muttered cutting it. The alarm system shut down but the camera didn't.

"What do we do?" Merlin asked Tawni. Tawni bit her lip before her eyes flashed golden and she disappeared! "Whoa!! Tawni!! Tawni where are you?!!" Merlin whispered.

"Right beside you." she replied back, Merlin spun in a full circle but could not see Tawni anywhere. "No you're not." he replied.

"Ouch!!! You trod on my foot!!" she cried.

"Oh. Sorry." Merlin breathed. "How are you doing this?"

"Tiannia taught me a spell that can turn things invisible so that you can't be seen or felt." Tawni said.

"Cool. Can you teach me it?" Merlin asked.

"Sure." Tawni said out loud before whispering in Merlin's ear. "Trowch fi anweledig. Nawr nawr nawr. Ni allaf fod yn teimlo neu eu gweld. Trowch fi anweledig. Os gwelwch yn dda os gwelwch yn dda os gwelwch yn dda."

"Thanks." Merlin said.

"You're welcome. Now let's get this done with." Tawni said she slowly moved towards Arthur when the spotlight zoomed over where she would be standing if she was visible. Tawni audibly gasped but the camera didn't pick up any trace that she was there. She breathed a sigh of relief and went to stand beside Arthur before letting the invisibility enchantment end. "Your turn now Merlin." she called.

"Trowch fi anweledig. Nawr nawr nawr. Ni allaf fod yn teimlo neu eu gweld. Trowch fi anweledig. Os gwelwch yn dda os gwelwch yn dda os gwelwch yn dda." Merlin's voice echoed from the darkness and soon he joined them at their side. Tawni peered inside the small silver box. There were the two broken halves of the red wire, a black wire and a yellow one.

"Which is it?" she muttered to herself, before reaching in and snapping the black wire. The camera stopped moving and the spotlight switched off. "Leoght." Tawni and Merlin muttered and two glowing balls of light appeared in their hands. All three of them grinned at each other before separating again. Tawni and Arthur went round through the back doors while Merlin got in through the front. "Tospringe." Merlin muttered and the doors unlocked flying silently open. He stepped over the threshold of the library and was soon joined by Tawni and Arthur.

"Off you go genius." Arthur said. As merlin closed his eyes and focused on his spell book he opened them and they flashed golden. His irises began to dart around the room searching for the books. He ran over towards a bookshelf and pushed it from the side. Hidden behind the bookshelf was a wooden oak door. Merlin muttered another spell and the door flew open. "This way." Merlin whispered leading them down a pair of stairs that led to the basement. They silently went down the stairs and Merlin stopped. His irises darted around the basement and settled on a door in the far corner. "This way." he led them down to the door and pushed against it. It wasn't locked! They moved further into the room only to find that the room was stocked with all sorts of old books. Most of them with brown leather and bronze clasps. "We'll never find it in here." Arthur moaned.

"We have to try."
