In the girls dormantory, girls shared their stories on Cora, but then Eurika spoke up,
"Girl's. Instead of just being sad, let's try to do something that might change our mind."
Abigail Fortner, a young girl inspired by Cora quickly tried to speak up,
"There was blood and—"
Her throat closed.
She covered her mouth.
"I can still smell it." She whispered.
The girl's stomach tightened.
There were about twenty or more girls in the dorm, others were in the sanatorium or doing their school duties reserved for the older more mature students.
Eurika clapped her hands lightly,
"Crying won't bring her back. And if we keep replaying it, we'll all go mad."
She tilted her head, "So let's do something… gay."
Shinigami lifted her eyebrow, giving a weird glance to Eurika, "Gay?!"
Eurika got confused, "Gay, joyful? Aren't they the same?"
Shinigami's both eyebrows lifted as she nodded, "Aha..." finally understanding.
"Well, what can we even do?" Beatrice Orwell, the most attentive student at the time, spoke up. Her face was filled with uncertainty and confusion.
Eurika thought for a moment, her hair swaying slowly, "How about we play dress up?" She then looked at Parmiss, "How about it, new student? It'll be fun."
Parmiss grabbed her long skirt, a drop of sweat dripped down her face, "Ah, I don't know. I have never done it before."
Eurika took her hand, Shinigami's heart tightened.
"Come on, I really want to see you in something stylish. It's not like we get new students every day."
Parmiss pulled her hand back and held her wrist with her other hand, "Sure but don't force me to it."
Eurika smiled, "That's my girl," She then looked at the rest of the girls, "Let's all get going to the changing room, today's gonna be a fun fashion show."
"Before you all go, Lanette has an announcement to make," The dorm fairy summoned in the hall, her naked feet gliding in the air and the fairy dust was sparkling. Beside her was a message written in a cloth-like paper; Floating slowly in a repeating motion.
Cough! Cough!
"Due to the recent events in the school, Lord Headmaster has granted students a leave from the school untilthe matter is resolved or the culprit is caught. Students are not allowed to go outside their dormantories alone. All the food and other necessary supplies will be sent to the dorms in the meantime. Also, there will be Molths outside, so be careful to not let any window open, or you might have to face trouble."
Parmiss came forward and stood behind Eurika, "What's a Molth?" She asked.
Eurika looked at Parmiss and replied, "A Molth is a soul-like creature that wanders to look for Bad students to punish, la lala~" There was something about her smile. It hid something, something Parmiss couldn't make sense of.
Eurika then turned to Lanette, "Don't worry, we will be fine here."
Lanette then smiled, "Then Lanette will be leaving, Valete~"
As she vanished into dust.
Eurika joyfully swung back to the girls, "Alright, So now let's all roll."
…
Outside the school, creatures flew, their bodies were hollow, it was like gray fog turned into the shape of a human─ or rather something uncanny.
"Edward was using Molths the best idea? What if something happens?"
Yohan asked Edward in the lobby, as they both walked,
Edward's face was serious, his eyes sharp, "Oh, Yohan, my priority is to find the culprit. I don't want my position taken," His smirked slightly, "No matter what measures I have to take to keep it."
Yohan turned his face down, "If you say so," He then looked outside at the foggy sky, Edward's losing it, I hope they find the culprit fast.
One floor under them in the Nurse's office, with many other students, Marv sat on the bed. His face was quiet. Not serious, but the fast of a person who doesn't want to speak.
"Your cat is very cute, Marv." Miss Nightingale commented, looking at Parilis who was furring herself at her legs.
"Meow~ Meow~" Parilis seemed to like Miss Nightingale,
I hate having to do this! You really used me as your cat Marv! I am gonna make you pay me back for this. Parilis though in her head.
Marv looked at them and smiled slightly, "She really does seem to like you."
Miss Nightingale: "Haha, yes," She blushed, lifting up the reports in her hand, "You seem to be doing well now. You just had a panic attack. Well anyone would. I am glad I wasn't there, I could never make myself see what happened."
Marv bowed slightly at bed "I can understand, Miss. A lovely and beautifullady like you shouldn't see such a terrible scene. "
Miss Nightingale blushed, "You are flattering me."
She then came forward and patted Marv, smiling, "You can leave for your dormitory anytime, also your friend Kazuto is here. He was so worried about you. "
Marv's eyes widened from surprise, "Oh, He is here. Thank you for telling me. I will go see him in a bit. He didn't have to be here with me… Guess, I will have to use Parilis after all. He whispered.
Miss Nightingale smiled and then stood up, her eyes had a light shade to them, "Haha, Rest well, Marv. I will go see the other patents."
As she then left.
Marv laid back for a bit, looking at the wooden clock that was going, Tick! Tick!
...
Outside the room on the gothic wooden bench sat Kazuto.
Tipping his fingers together in a playful motion.
I wonder why Marv laughed back there? That scene was horrific, but I have never thoughthe would do something like that.
It reminds me of back then in my home. My family used to be rich and I was into football. That day the clouds were as foggy when I was taken out of the team. Not because I was bad, but because the coach didn't like me. Everyone told me that I am kind, but do they ever stop to think how I felt? No... Thry all leave.
He clenched his hands tight together.
"Hey Kazuto."
Marv put his hand on Kazuto's shoulder. Kazuto for a moment hesitated, then loosened up his hands,
"Oh, Hey Marv, How are you now?"
Marv walked forward slowly and sat besides Kazuto,
"I am feeling better now, sorry for keeping you waiting."
Kazuto took a breath, "It's alright, that's what friends are for—"
"Brothers?" Marv cut him out, "How about brothers?"
Kazuto turned his face to Marv, his eyes shining as he then looked at the floor and smiled a little, "If you say so." Seems like someone that appreciates me.
Marv looked up at the window where the dark night has covered the castle in its darkness, "It's been quite a day today. Seems like every weird thing knows our address."
Kazuto nodded, "I agree, It's been quite weird."
"You like classical music?" Marv asked.
Kazuto looked at him, "Classical music?"
Marv put a finger on his jaw recalling, "Like Mozart, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky."
Kazuto put his index finger on his chin, "Hm, My dad used to listen to those. What are you— an old man?"
Marv smiled, looking up at the sky and waving his feet on the bench,
"Guess, I am an old man."
Kazuto looked at him as he looked at the sky, then he too started to look at it with him.
"We really should be going back to the dormantories now. Guess you need a rest too." Marv spoke.
Kazuto nodded "Oh right, Let's go, Marv."
Marv sighed, "I hope that girl is happy in the afterlife."
Both stood up, and slowly left for their dormantories.
…
"You both look Amazing!!!!!! Wooow! (≧∇≦)ﾉ"
Eurika was flustered, seeing Shinigami and Parmiss dressed in wooly puffy clothes.
"Really?" Shinigami lifted up her hand and smelled it, "I think we look weird." Her words were dull, like a sleep deprived person.
Eurika shaked her hands in disagreement, "No you both are sooo good looking I wanna kiss you both!!!! ☆*: .｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆"
Parmiss quickly protested, "Ah, No kisses for me please."
Eurika stopped mid way from reaching to kiss Parmiss, "Aaaa, Okeyyyyy, La lala~"
Behind her were all the girls in cute dresses, questioning ever being agreeing with her.
There were all kinds of dresses in the dorm's dressing room. Elegant to cute, cute to modest and modest to stylish.
"It's getting too late! I want to sleep!" A girl shouted.
"Yes, It is getting too late."
"I have to fix my beauty sleep."
"Do vampires need night sleep?"
One by one all the girls started to leave, changing clothes and getting ready to sleep.
Eurika then clapped her hands once again, "Ok, Girls Let's see you all in the morning then, La la~"
As she also went to prepare to sleep.
Shinigami and Parmiss were left standing there alone.
Shinigami yawned, "They are right, we should also go and sleep."
Parmiss's eyebrow was twitching, and her face looked like that of an annoyed grandma, "Right, Shinigami."
...
In the bathroom a girl sat, taking a hot bath. As she was relaxing, she saw a shadow in the water that wasn't hers,
She moved closer to inspect it,
Slowly, a tall shadow emerged from the water, a body of Fog,
"Aaahaaaaaahahahah!!!!!!"
Shinigami and Parmiss who were changing clothes heard the scream,
"What was that sound, Shinigami!?"
