I do not own The Librarians.


"We need to take her with us. It's a…" Jacob was fighting for her.

"No, no don't say it's a good idea. She is not a Librarian, she is a stranger you met on a mission and now you are following her around like a lost puppy. I thought you were more mature than this." Jenkins was at his wits end.

"Sorry, Jenkins I have to agree with Jacob here." Eve jumped to his defense. "We do need another set of hands. Unless Flynn magically appears in the next five minutes, Elaine is coming with us."

Elaine was feeling special, instead of being stuck at the Annex, she was allowed to go on a mission with Jacob. Almost.

Eve was on board, of course Jacob was. Cassandra and Ezekiel hadn't weighted in yet.

"Fine, whatever Stone wants to do. We can usually handle things ourselves." Ezekiel said.

"Personally, I like having another girl around." Cassandra told them all. "It can't hurt to have her around."

It was almost like Elaine had no choice in the matter. She was used to it but now she was fed up with it. "If it's not okay me tagging along, I'll stay behind. I haven't finished my book yet."

"No, it's fine. Suit up." Eve said.


"Are you allowed to tell me what the plan is? Or do I not have clearance?" Elaine half joked. But she knew the truth. She wouldn't be told anything more than she had to know.

"Just know, you are helping to save the world." Jacob said, handing her a small device. "And maybe when we get out of this, we can… pick up where we left off." He sounded hopeful.

She smiled, he wanted to finish their tender moment as much as she did. "Promise?"

"Yes. Now this is going to vibrate a lot but that means it's working." He held one also, Cassandra, Eve and Ezekiel had theirs. Elaine was only guessing, but it was like a magical circle to trap a spirit. Maybe it wasn't an evil spirit but a spirit that meant harm to the world.

They were all standing in a circle a good six feet apart from each other. On the ground were symbols drawn with salt. So her thoughts were correct. Sometimes she didn't have to be told. She just knew things.

The device began to vibrate and the mission began. Elaine stared in wonder as a spirit was pulled to the circle and stayed there.

"Are all missions that easy? She asked.

Jacob smiled and opened his mouth to answer her. But what actually came out was so different than what he wanted to. "Brotherhood!"

Eve captured the spirit and moved to fight off the Brotherhood agents. But she, or anyone else, wasn't fast enough.

Elaine was the only one who saw the agent draw a gun and aim it at… She didn't even think about it and threw herself into the bullet's way.

Jacob felt like he watching live in slow motion. But it went back to normal speed when Elaine hit the ground.

Elaine's hand flew to her shoulder and saw blood but it was the pain that made her close to passing out. Jacob was trying to stop the bleeding.

"We need to get the bullet out, rip her sleeve off!" Cassandra yelled.

Elaine wanted to yell at them not to do that, it would ruin everything. There would be no coming back from that.

She heard the rip then the three people around her froze. She knew exactly what they were staring at.

"Stone, Stop the bleeding now!" Eve yelled, she was running towards them and she was on the phone with Jenkins. "Fire up the backdoor. The Brotherhood found us."

"She's one of them." Ezekiel remarked.

"What?"

Cassandra pointed to the tattoo on Elaine's bare and bloodied shoulder. "She's part of the Brotherhood."

Eve stared, taken completely by surprise. "She's hurt, we can't leave here." And she looked at Jacob for backup. But he wasn't paying attention, all his focus was on Elaine.

There was no time to waste, the backdoor appeared and Eve grabbed an injured Elaine. At least Ezekiel helped her. Cassandra was left to pulled Jacob through the door.


Back in the Annex, Elaine slumped to the floor, keeping her whimpers to herself. No one was going to help her, no one even wanted to look at her.

"What happened? Did you get the spirit?" Jenkins asked, confused at the state of the people who had returned to the Annex.

"The Brotherhood found us, Elaine jumped in front of a shot meant for Stone and…" Ezekiel began.

"She's one of them." Cassandra said, the words tasted terrible in her mouth.

Jenkins understood instantly and grabbed a sword, pointing it at Elaine's throat. "I said this whole thing was a bad idea, didn't I say that? But no, no one listens to me." He wanted acknowledgment from Jacob, but the Librarian was off in his own world. One where the woman he might have had feelings for hadn't betrayed him.

"Put the sword away, Jenkins. She is hurt, we will deal with her betrayal later." Eve yelled.

"Fine, she is confined to one of the rooms. No one talks to her, though I doubt anyone would want to."

Elaine silently agreed, she didn't want to talk about the situation to anyone.


Did you see that coming? I'm kind of sorry she's a bad guy you only find out now.
