Me: Hi again! First update of October! :D Thanks to everyone who reviewed and I thought it would be fun to reply to the reviews :DD Hope you enjoy. Oh! Heads up: Yes there is mention of Religion in this one, so please, try to respect it. I'm not religious personally, but respect everyone else please!

Happy reading!


Basil sighed as he stepped into the church of Saint- Denis. The church itself was a small wooden building with stain-glass windows. It was mostly a place for worship and a quiet place for Basil to think. The mouse sighed though his nose as he stared at the glass window behind the stage. It was an image of the vengeful angel, his sword held high, ready to punish the wicked. Basil wasn't one to believed, but it offered some comfort to him, being here. Basil had originality grown up in a home where his mother had thought that religion was important. Basil looked up at the image again. He had made it his job to make sure that Ratigan didn't cause anymore harm then he already had. He had failed to upheld that promise and now Terra was paying for it. Basil sighed, tearing his eyes from the mural.

'I'll find you Terra, I promise.' He thought as he left the church.


Terra was pacing around her room, trying to occupy her mind from dieing of boredom. She had found that Ratigan had given her a wardrobe full of simple dresses of different colors, a large bed with dark purple and crimson silk covers and a bookshelf with books on subjects that Terra had no interest in. A knock on her door caught her attention.

"Who is it?" She called.

"An old friend." A familiar voice called and Terra heard the click of the lock. The door opened to reveal Kitty and Tern. Kitty smiled as she gave Terra a warm hug. Tern walked up to her and rubbed her head.

"That was very noble what you did, Terra." Kitty told her and Tern nodded.

"But I don't know what will happen." Terra admitted. Kitty offered her a small smile.

"It will look up, Terra. Besides Mr. Basil is a clever fellow, and he has escaped the Professor before." Terra looked down and Tern stepped in.

"Terra, from what I've heard, Basil cares for you. He's probably trying to think of a plan to free you." Terra smiled at her friends.

"Thanks you two, I needed some uplifting."

"Of course, sweetie." Kitty said as she hugged Terra again. Tern smiled as he ruffled the fur on her head.

"We think of you as family Terry." He winked and Terra grinned at the little nickname he had given her.

"We'd best be going." Kitty said as she and Tern headed in the general direction of the door. Tern gave Terra a quick hug, then followed Kitty out the door, shutting it behind him. Terra smiled fondly, thinking of the memories that she and those two shared. Terra moved to the window and looked out of it.

'I trust you all, and I know that Basil will come, but I'm tried of being a damsel in distress.' She thought as she stared out the window, devising a plan to try and escape.


Fidget had been helping one of the mice of the caravan when Basil came trudging back to camp. Ilona sighed at the sight of the detective.

"He's tearing himself up inside over Miss Terra's capture." She murmured and Fidget looked at her, then back at Basil as he trudged around with his head hung low. The locket, which was sitting safely in the pocket of the bat's wing felt heavy. Fidget stood and waddled like a penguin up to Basil.

"Hey, Mr. Basil." Fidget pulled the locket from his pocket and placed it in Basil's paw.

"I thought you wanted it back." Fidget said, looking down. Basil looked down at the small piece of jewelry and smiled.

"Thank you, Fidget." He said with a smile, which made Fidget grin. From her spot by the fire, Ilona smiled.

'Looks like the old fire in Mr Basil has returned.' She thought with a smile on her face as she watched the two.


Terra tugged on the makeshift rope that she had made of drapery that was tied to one of the bedposts. Making sure it was secure, Terra forced the knotted end out the window and watched as it fell to the ground far below. Terra gripped the rope and took a deep breath.

'Here it goes.' She thought as she lowered herself out the window and onto the castle wall. Slowly and steadily, the white mouse picked her way down the castle wall, flinching every time a shadow blotted out the moon's light. Finally, after much hard work and some curses, she managed to descend down the castle wall. She let out the breath she had been holding as soon as her foot touched the ground. She looked up at the high castle and she poked her tongue at it. Then, she took off into the night.


Ratigan walked briskly towards Terra's room. He had sent Kitty and Tern to try and cheer her up, but from what they told him, Terra was still depressed. He turned and tapped on the door.

"Terra? Are you alright?" When there wasn't an answer, Ratigan frowned.

"Terra?" He called a little louder. Still no answer. Ratigan placed a hand on the door as he unlocked it. He opened it to find the window open and a long rope tied to the bedpost. The moon lite the remains of Terra's escape. Ratigan growled as he stormed out of the room, calling for the guards.

"TERRA HAS ESCAPED!" He bellowed. "Sent out the search parties and FIND HER!"
