Hello there! Missed me? Yes? Good, because here is the new and last chapter for you. Enjoy reading.

"Ezekiel!" Jake called out as the younger man wanted to close his eyes again.

The headache wasn't any better. Also, the dizziness got so bad that Ezekiel could only see some blurred lines that should be Jake and Cassandra. What was going on? Why did he feel so bad… again?

"Please stay awake…." Cassandra said and grabbed his hand. "You can't leave us…. Again."

She thought of how she would react if Ezekiel fell in coma again. She didn't know how the library could continue their work; although their thief was annoying and sometimes came up with…. uncommon ideas. And if he wouldn't wake up again…. She looked over to Jake who was constantly avoiding to response her glance. How should she work together with Jake when Ezekiel wasn't there anymore? Now that she thought of it, she recognized that Ezekiel was the one who brought the librarians together. He made them working together, although the greatest thief on earth would never admit it. Also, he was the only one who made her feel home in the beginning – when nobody else was.

"You can't leave… I mean, you are the first one who trusted me… You were actually my first friend I ever had."

Ezekiel managed to open his eyes, just wide enough to see the worried faces of Jake and Cassandra in front of her. They really seemed to be worried about him. A warm feeling of something he never felt before came up and managed to wash away the wave of dizziness that was trying to overpower him. His vision become clearer, but thinking straight was still difficult.

As Jake observed how Cassandra talked to Ezekiel, he felt guilty. He knew that she only had wanted the best for them as she had put the spell over their friend. He couldn't forgive her so easily of using unknown magic onto him, not to mention the consequences that came with it, but he never said or did anything that could have built a real friendship with Ezekiel. However, after those four days without him and not knowing if he would ever work with them again. Plus, as he saw the thief lying there again, he thought that if Ezekiel wasn't there, it would be difficult to just continue to work as a librarian. Sure, he got along with Eve pretty good, and Jenkins was okay…. He could even handle Cassandra, but it wouldn't be the same, as if a piece of life was cut out of the library.

"Yeah buddy, we need you" Jake decided to add, making Cassandra look up to him again. This time, he replied her glance and she gave him a smile. "The library would be so boring if there was nobody here to annoy me constantly. Plus…." He made a pause, putting a hand gently on Ezekiel's shoulder.

"You are my friend, too." Jake paused, and saw that Ezekiel now looked up to him. Somehow, he looked better; at least his previous glassy eyes seemed livelier and his face gained some color back. "I never said it, and I don't know if you consider me as a friend as well… But truth is, you belong here. To this library."

Cassandra nodded. "Yes, that's right. And Jake…. "Cassandra looked over to Stone. "You know that I'm sorry for what had happened. I mean, it's not that I wanted to hurt him! I didn't know what would happen…. I just…. "

"You wanted to make the best of the situation, I know." Jake helped her out.

"I know it, too." Ezekiel managed to sit up. "It's not your fault, Cassie…" He still had a bit of a headache. However, after Cassandra and Jake talked to him, he felt much better. Did it have anything to do with this stupid spell? But, this was something he had to think about later. Now, both looked at him worriedly but with a hint of a relief as their friend spoke up.

"I mean, before I came into the library, I had no one. It was really difficult to get used to working together with somebody that I care about. I…. never really cared about somebody else than me." He grinned. "You know, because of my own awesomeness and so on".

Now Jake and Cassie smiled back, too. However, they didn't interrupt him since Ezekiel was never a person who would talk about his feelings a lot.

"But I got that you guys are…. awesome as well. And I like working with you…. and being together with you."

Suddenly, just as Ezekiel finished the sentence and wiped away the sweat pearls of his forehead, the door to his door swung open again. Eve entered, in her hands a cup of steaming tea. Jenkins rushed in behind her.

"Hey, good to see you are still awake!" Eve said. She recognized that he looked a lot better than before.

"Thanks" Ezekiel said and took a sip of the tea. "Actually, I feel pretty good right now."

"And I think the spell is gone by now" Jenkins said as he observed the situation. He knew that Cassandra and Jake had talked to Ezekiel. Without their knowledge, they had healed him, obviously.

"What do you mean?" Jake said and put Ezekiel's cup on the table. How could the spell have gone? Ezekiel had been affected by it a minute ago!

However, Eve suddenly got what Jenkins meant. She already had a feeling after her talk with Jenkins, but now she now knew why Ezekiel had collapsed four days before. And she knew why he had woken up. After she had confessed that Ezekiel belonged to her as a member of her family, just like Cassandra and Jake, their thief was awake. And also, now as she saw her librarians sitting there in harmony, she knew that they had a similar talk with him again.

"He means that you just gave Ezekiel his deepest wish." She said and smiled kindly at the three. Confused, they looked to Jenkins. "Yes, that is why I left you two alone with Mr. Jones. You had to make a serious talk. I kind of guessed what his deepest wish was, and if Mr. Jones got this wish, he would be healed from the spell."

"So…. What was your wish about?" Cassandra asked curiously. Jake, too, looked over to Ezekiel who now started to think.

Was it that simple? Obviously, Jenkins was right. He never thought about it, but now that Eve and the others had talked to him, he knew what he always had wanted. And it was something he couldn't steal, although he was the greatest thief on earth.

"I wanted a family" Ezekiel simply said. And it was true; they were one. There would always be ups and downs, and he would always annoy Jake as well as Cassandra would always try out new things. However, they were a team, and although Jake would never admit it, magic made more out of it.

"You know, although magic has its price" the thief said "it doesn't have to mean that it has to be something bad. There are always two sides."

The others nodded, smiling at each other and happy that Ezekiel was finally back again.

"Well said, Mr. Jones. Well said." Jenkins remarked. He left the room, leaving the librarians and their guardian alone; after all, they would have a lot to talk about.

The end.

Sooooo, what do you think? Good? Bad? The best story of all time? (Just joking, I know that I suck at endings). I hope that you liked the story anyways.

Maybe you have some ideas for new stories? I really enjoyed writing, and if I could do a story for you, just PM me or put the idea in the reviews. I can also imagine of doing oneshots every week or so? Let me know what you think.

Thank you so much for reading and reviewing. It was a pleasure for me, and I hope for you as well.

Don't forget to leave a final review.
