Chapter 26

It turned out the staff at the library on the day the world was frozen had gone for their lunch break because the building said the word closed, but staff we're inside. Frozen and midway during their lunch.

Using the magic, they could the twins broke open the door and while they went searching for their spell book. Violet jumped over the front desk.

"Under this floor used to be where paper work was store."

"Will it work?" Jerry asked.

"I don't know. Golden Eyes kept magic together. But if the library was the backup planned than it might work."

Violet looked under the counter to find a red button. She smiled knowing it was real and pressed it. Jumping over the counter again the floor opened up. Normally the lights would turn on the moment she pressed it, but with the world frozen it didn't appear to be happening.

"Is it running on magic?"

"I'm not sure," Violet said with a frown. "It shouldn't actually be working."

"Don't stay down there too long Violet. It might close up and lock you in there."

"I know Jerry."

But there was a reason why she was down there and even the dark she knew there was paper stack away, but she also knew in a distance room there was weapons.

They we're hard to find, but the moment her hand touched small clubs she had hopes it would be laser guns and she picked up four of them before she ran into the selves.

"Ow."

Rubbing her shoulder, she heard something made a thud and picked up something odd. Not knowing what it was she took it with her and ran back up the steps.

"We need to work fast," Ivy said.

The twins slammed their spell book onto the counter as they turned the pages.

"Manon still looking for us," Iris said.

"Hey, you used her name," Jerry pointed out.

"Yeah, I know. But will she doesn't want to be our mum and now I see why."

Violet placed a hand on Iris shoulder. "You're doing the right thing even if it hurts."

Iris nodded as she dries her eyes with her shirt and even Ivy looked somewhat concerned for her twin.

"Is that a pen?" Jerry asked.

Violet narrowed her eyes not understanding what her cousin was on about before she brought out the object that she had picked up. It was indeed a pen. A four coloured one at that.

"Damn, I thought it was something useful. Ah, well."

She tucked the pen back into her pockets before passing Jerry a cub and placing two cubs onto the table for the twins.

"What's that?" Ivy asked as Iris looked through the spell book.

"Plan b. If your magic stops working then we're fighting your mother with a laser gun."

Ivy scoffed. "That's not a laser gun. It's a cub."

Violet pressed the red button and the cub faded away showing her a laser gun.

"Whoa," the twins said at once.

"I know. Red switch is to stop and green switch shoots out the lasers."

"Neat," Ivy said.

She picked up the cub and the laser gun formed in her hand.

"Sis, the spell needs to be done together and I found it," Ivy said.

Glass smashed. The twins screamed and Violet jumped.

"Jerry you and I... Jerry?"

Jerry was frozen.

"He's frozen," Iris said.

Oh, no.

Jerry was frozen.

Her cousin was actually frozen like the rest of the world the laser gun in his hand as he just stood there.

"Oh, Jerry."

She wanted to sob. She wanted to cry, but than another window was heard smashing and she knew now wasn't the time for crying.

"You too work on the spell. I'll keep your mother at bay."

The twins nodded their heads and Violet took a deep breath in as she snatched Jerry laser gun out of his hands and walked in front of the twins. The mind worms zoomed in some smashing windows just to jump into the room and soon they we're surround by the creatures.

They didn't attack though because Smith walked in and she stood with her hand on her hip and a smile on her face the moment she noticed Jerry frozen. That smile didn't last long though when she turned to the twins hearing them chanting strange words.

"You idiots," she sneered.

Violet shot at Manon, but even with her magic being weak Manon counted the attack and gave the final command.

"Attack!" Manon yelled.

The mind worms all jumped at her at once.
