"Don't you think this is a waste of time if we don't find it?" Xavier called out. He was skimming from one book to another, flipping through pages and shaking the book until he almost tore the pages out.
All the while, Zera was keeping the hideous creature busy, ensuring that it was far away from where Xavier was.
"Just focus on your task!" Zera replied. She almost missed what Xavier had said, the unidentified monster screaming bloody murder as it pursued Zera inside the library.
With all the noise they were making, the outside of the building was another story.
Shaking his head, Xavier threw the book he just tried to pry for the clue on the ground. Zera had ducked just in time to avoid the monster's tail. It swung back and forth. If she didn't dive in the nearby corner, she would have been caught on it.
Muttering curses under his breath, Xavier did as he was told. He was thinking that they might be wasting their time.
But maybe not.
