"Bridgette?"
                          
"Yes?"
                          
"The latest shipment just arrived an hour ago. Could you please record and stock it up for me?"
                          
"Yes ma'am, no problem."
                          
Lily smiled at the sweet young bluenette who was stacking the books in the correct order on the shelves. Bridgette made her way to the smiling 35 year old librarian who handed her the record files and instructions to the storeroom.
                          
"I'm sorry to be keeping you in late but I really have to run some errands. It'll probably get late, so just leave it off to when I'll come back. You can pick that up from there tomorrow. I don't want you out in the streets alone that late."
                          
Bridgette smiled at the kind, brunette lady and nodded, taking the files from her hand.
                          
"I understand."
                          
It had already been a week since she and Aurora had run away and arrived here. They lived a pretty decent life, having had their own place to live and able to afford both necessities and luxuries, though with a catch of working two jobs. 
                          
The bookworm bluenette has been more than happy to work at the former royal library of all places, even if it was late in the evening. Marinette could feel the excitement and awe that pumped through Bridgette's veins when she found herself surrounded by shelves and shelves of books.
                          
"I'll be back later."
                          
Thus, Bridgette was left all alone in the grand building, surrounded with hundreds and thousands of books.
                          
"Ah, let's get back to work!"
                          
"Aren't you afraid to be all alone here?" Tikki asked, plopping out of her dress's pocket.
                          
'Heh, the same old Tikki.' Marinette reminisced sadly.
                          
"Whoever said about me being alone?
You're here with me." 
                          
Tikki smiled warmly before floating out and flying in front of the bluenette.
                          
An hour or two later, Bridgette sat, surrounded by books in the huge library, presumably all alone, while Tikki hovered above her, occasionally stacking the lighter books to their correct places. The sweet humming of Bridgette's voice was suddenly disrupted by a loud crash that echoed through the empty building.
                          
Tikki and her sat up straight with a startle, a small gasp escaping the latter.
                          
"What was that?"
                          
Confusion filled her as she anticipated the noise. It sounded as if books were thrown off the shelves. But who would do that? The library was closed to the public at this hour. She was alone here, right? 
                          
Another crash was heard a while later and the young lady proceeded to get up with caution, and picked up the thickest and the heaviest book within her reach.
                          
"Let's go see."
                          
Warily moving towards the source of the crash, Bridgette's hold on the book tightened. As she got closer to the 5th shelf in the back, she could hear faint noises. Whisper yells.
