“This isn’t just any library. It’s THE Library. There is someone here who can help us.” Tasha opened the door for Tina. 

Tasha walked up to the circulation desk. 

“Can I help you?” A teenager said. 

“Were here to see the professor.” Tasha said. 

“He’s up in the rare books. 8th floor go left follow the stacks to the end look for book number 74593845.384 turn to page 430.” The girl said and went back to he book. 

“Thank you.” Tasha said.

“You guys are back early.” Alice said. 

“Someone had already unearthed it.” Kit said. 

“Where’s Avery and Shane?” Bette asked. 

“They dissapeared shortly after you left.” Helena said. 

“Where did they go?” Kit asked. 

“They didn’t say and they are blocking us from scrying for them.” Lil said. 

“I’m sure they’re fine. They just needed to get away for a while. Remember this isn’t the first time they’ve done this.” Alice said. 

“We have to find them. We need them to open the box.” Bette said. 

“Did you ever think that’s why they left. Avery isn’t the only one you need to open the box. You need Tina and you don’t have her either.” Lil said. 

“True but she’s only a blaze away.” Bette said. 

“Not anymore.” Helena said. 

“What do you mean not anymore?” Bette asked. 

“Tasha went to her this morning and then they went off the map too.” Alice said. 

“How is that I’m gone all of 3 weeks and everything goes to hell.” Bette said. 

“That’s not all.” Alice said. 

“What else is there?” Kit asked. 

“Go ahead tell her.” Helena said. 

“There has been in surge in Ancient activity.” Lil said. 

“Where?” Bette asked. 

“LA, NYC, London, Tokyo, Berlin, Sydney, Savannah, Tampa, Houston.” Lil said. 

“Now we were must find them.” Bette said. 

“I think what we need to do is calmly create a plan. We should split up an search those cities. Chances are Tasha, and Tina are together somewhere, and we know that Shane isn’t going to leave Avery alone somewhere.” Helena said. 

“Okay. Helena and Lil go to NYC check all of Avery’s favorite places. Kit go to LA and activate the protocol. Alice and I will go to London. Everyone get in touch with your contacts. Let’s try and figure out what the Ancients are up to.” Bette said.

Tasha and Tina walked through the stacks of books. It took then 5 minutes to walk it.”

“How big is this place?” Tina asked. 

“Nobody really knows. The outside of the building has a glamor so it looks like a normal library but I’m not sure even the people who built it know.” Tasha stopped and pulled out a book and opened it to page 430. Suddenly they were in a huge office with stacks of books everywhere. 

“Ahh. Tina. I always wondered when you would find me.” An old man, The Professor, said.
