Chapter 12

"Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense... Classy" Percie whistled.

"So," she turned to her Partner in Crime, "Any helpful hints in Sister Dear's head that will help us get in? Because I seriously doubt that I will be able to blow through THAT "she gestured to the stronghold before them.

"Fear not Percie, Believe it or not security here is slightly, shall we say lax" he rolled his eyes at the arrogance of humans,

"The Hell you say." Percie retorted sarcastically.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's do this." she said gleefully, they holstered their weapons and scaled the walls of the building.

Nuada reached the top first and pulled Percie up the roof, "Where is she?" Percie whispered as they dodged the beams of a search light,

"She's in the library, Or A library, it's strong, but fuzzy. Her mind is clouded" he closed his eyes and scrunched his brow and flinched when Percie rested a hand on him shoulder.

"Let it go Nuada, FOCUS." she hissed and looked over her shoulder and pressed the both to the ground to avoid the beams.

He sighed "Yes, it's most definitely a library, a big one, maybe about 20 or thirty yards ahead." Percie stared at him in awe,

"What?"

"I'm sorry but I really love that bond." he glared at her bitterly

"Shut up, Persephone." he growled, she hissed hatefully at him.

"I will throw you off this roof"

"This way."

They followed the mental trail until Nuada stopped them short, "Right here."

Percie looked around, "Okaay, now how do we get in?" she asked, Nuada opened and closed his mouth,

"Wait a minute, you mean to tell me that you didn't think this through?!"Percie yelped

"I thought most of it through, I just didn't think it would go this smoothly, And it's not like I had a blue print of the layout. "

she rolled her eyes and groaned, "Wonderful, fantastic" she snapped her fingers and dropped to her hands and knees, "Wait, Wait wait wait!" Nuada looked at her like she had gone mad.

"What, are you doing?" he tilted his head to get a better view.

"Shhh," she hissed and pressed her ear to the metal roof and rapped on it with her knuckles, closing her eyes for a second and grinned like mad, then continued doing this for five minutes solid, inching forward each time scratching at seemingly random metal plates, "Come you little...AHAHAHA" she cried triumphantly.

"What? What is it?"

"A Vent!" she laughed.

"Now" she began, "Stand back." she ordered,

"What?"

She sighed, "I'm going to try and concentrate the energy to the shaft and maybe I can break the welding, now stand back" she explained. Nuada rolled his eyes but stepped back, "This is insane" he muttered.

Percie took a deep breath and pressed her hands to the vent, "Come, come on" she closed her eyes and felt heat buzz into her brain, focus, FOCUS she thought as she pressed harder into the grate, the bars cutting into her palms.

"Percie?"

"SHH!" she snapped.

"Percie Give it up, it's not going to..."

CLANG! Percie opened one eye to check the grate to see that she had indeed popped the welding of the vent.

She grinned and looked at Nuada, "You were saying?"

"I- I...Shut up." he snarled,

"Told you so" she whispered as he began to slide down the shaft.

Percie followed him closely, "Okay which way?"

"North"

So north they went.

"Ow!" Percie yelped,

"What's wrong?"

"YOUR FOOT'S IN MY EYE!"

"Sorry" This type of conversation went on for about five minutes in hushed hisses until they came to an opening,

"Percie I see her,"

"Okay let me go in first, she's less likely to freak if she sees me first," Nuada helped Percie to the front and lowered her the carpeted ground, "Ready?"

"Yeah" he released her hands and she fell to floor with a thud,

"YOU!" Nuala gasped, "How did you get in here?!" she backed herself up against a book shelf.

Percie raised her hands to show she was unarmed, "Calm down your Highness, I'm not here to harm you.

"I know quite well why you are here, Persephone." the princess snapped.

Percie growled, Royalty or not NO ONE called her Persephone, she felt a strong hand on her shoulder

"Now now, Percie. Play nice, she is family you know." Nuada tutted

"Hello Sister"
