The Silence Of The Seven

The Silence of the Seven

Synopsis:

The peaceful atmosphere is shattered when Yuu finds one of her friends in a coma of unknown causes. Determined to uncover the truth, Yuu and her friends begin investigating the case and discover a curious pattern that links the victims. But as the investigation progresses, they find themselves in a tangle with powerful enemies, and this time the danger is out of Twisted Wonderland. Yuu and her friends will have to fight against unknown forces to find answers and unravel the mystery before it's too late.

Notes: I won't give many warnings before each chapter, because, you know, the suspense. Yuu is a girl and is around 18 years old. I'm just saying that we will have many platonic and romantic moments in the series, and that you always read until the end of the chapter <3

Chapter I: I'll Get You

Yuu walked through the long corridors of the ancient library, passing them as if he knew every old corner and every forgotten book. Because actually, she does. As soon as she arrived in this strange world, she tried in every way to return to her original dimension, digging through all the books on multi-dimensional travel, mining any and all information about how to return home. But that's not why she's here today and with Riddle much less.

“If you want to survive in this world, you have to learn about it”

It was the purpose Riddle insisted on taking some classes with the foreign student. The leader of Heartslabyul had crimson red hair and the temper of a kindergarten principal, his nostrils always smoked and his mouth recited the 810 questionable laws of the Queen of Hearts. If not for the beautiful blue-gray eyes, Yuu would have joined the chaos of anarchy, but being peaceful she opted for one provocation or another.

"Riddle, I've been wondering, are these laws really necessary?" usually this led to some fun discussions with the grinning Cheshire cat

Today they were at a secluded table in the ancient library, discussing the origin of some figures and mythology.

“According to historians, the Queen of Hearts had a proportionate head, but due to an accident just before the coronation, she suffered an injury that led to swelling of her head.”

“And your ego…” Yuu muttered, he had several things to say about the tyrannical majesty but bit his tongue… today at least

"What did you say?"

“What about the creatures from the Kingdom of Roses?”

“It is said that the creatures are extinct species from the kingdom during the colonization…- he stopped and looked for the page in the book with illustrations- When the settlers tried to explore some unknown lands it was reported that they found flowers so tall that they stopped them from going on, so they decided to cut them down and heard voices from the forest expelling them.” Was that supposed to be scary? An idea flashed through the mind of the magicless student, her eyes glistening with memories and she did the best horror storytelling voice she could muster.

“The legends here are very interesting, but in my world we have a different view of nature”

“Ah, please tell me Yuu.” Riddle leaned forward as Yuu approached, naturally curious and thirsty for knowledge.

“In the era of exploration, a rich farmer wanted to increase his lands and for that, he destroyed the protected lands of the indigenous people. Once he took his foreman to open the forest in a sacred land and on this day, the furious nature sent a creature with a head of fire and feet turned backwards to end man's miserable life.”

Widening his eyes and holding his breath, Riddle silently nodded his head for Yuu to continue "With an animalistic scream the creature drove a fiery stake through the heart of the man who fell 'dead' to the ground-

“Why the quotes? Is he not dead?” Rido questioned the physical quotation marks his friend made, but felt an immediate chill when he saw how much his face darkened.

“However… he was so hideously terrible that both heaven and hell rejected him and earth refused to bury such a devilish soul. The now Dry Corps was cursed eternally into a condition of filthy spirit doomed to roam the cities until the end of time but… it is said that if the Dry Corps finds a host as bad as it is, it will possess it and use the living body to do even worse evils until a stronger entity of nature appears.”

The so stern leader of Heartabull kept his eyes fixed on a specific corner, he felt anesthetized with so much information that he had just heard so much that he didn't even notice that Yuu had gotten up from his chair with the mischievous intentions of scaring him from behind.

“Riddlee~” with a light pat, the red-haired one let out a high-pitched squeal that, yes, the entire library heard.

“Oh by the Seven! Yuu!”

"Riddle-chan, you shouldn't make noise in the library, you know?" teased him

“I wouldn't have yelled if you hadn't—

“Yanoo….cans of tuna…” a darling feline, Grim, was sleeping peacefully with no problems on top of the books when he escaped words in his sleep Such an action, brought to the two leaders childish and innocent giggles, which were muffled by the soft fur of Grimm. A sweet moment few would ever see…

And like all good things come to an end….

"Aaaah Kingyo-chann I know you're there" a very familiar voice of the two echoed through the halls

“Aa-ah Floyd! He can't see me, otherwise I'll be late for the Riding Club" his little antennae flick up in warning and in agitated whispers he turns to Yuu

"I distract him, Grim takes him to the corridor 03 passage" whispered back Yuu and traded a can of tuna for his companion

The girl knew the secret passages of the NRC like the back of her hands, and Riddle trusted them so because Ramshackle's memorable duo were like brothers to him, which was very difficult considering the walls and barriers that had been built since his overblot .

“See you later, thank you.” "Thank you"

A code of signs was exchanged between the two before Riddle entered the dark secret passage on the other side of the library, the language was created little by little, a mix of the sign language of his dear world and Twisted Wonderland that deepened as he went. that the bonds with the other person were deepening.

“Who was Koebi-chann talking to?” The twin's voice snapped her out of her thoughts, he was at the table they'd been studying at just now, his posture relaxed with the familiar wide, sharp-toothed smile.

"Floyd, let's play."- determined she started her plan in mind.

“Aaah, I'm not in the mood to play tag with Koebi-chan, I want to play with Kingyo-chan"- Already uninterested Floyd got up with a serious expression

“What if we make a deal?” When Yuu stepped in front of the tallest one, he didn't expect those words from her "If you catch me in 3 minutes, I'll tell you where Riddle is, but if not, I won't tell you anything." Oh that got his attention, already setting the timer on her watch

“Koebi-chan is so creative! Let's play! I count ok: 1…2…3 and that's it! Run fast or I'll catch you~” the twin hummed, lazy voice but a predator's gaze

The two ran wild leaving the library, Yuu was dodging the tables while Floyd, the mermaid, preferred to jump on top of them to annoy the students. Outside, the girl got a good boost down the hall, taking advantage of Floyd trying to get through the door.

2 minutes…

Each on the opposite side of the hall, Floyd showing his sharp teeth and Yuu a playful smile, the laughter of both spread in the hall: loud, uncoordinated and without any concern. As she turned a corner that led to the patio, she lost Floyd and only then did the adrenaline let her remember a little thing: Where there's fire, there's smoke. And the horror twins, as Grim calls them, are a real fire. Floyd is here…where is Jade?

1 minute-she checked her watch

"Ahh I'm so close to getting rid of this crazy guy!"-She thought with her chest rising and falling and breathing heavily. Her eyes searched every possible place to climb or hide, Floyd is faster but if she can stay away from him until time stands still…

"The tree!"

30 seconds

The girl ran with all her might towards the patio tree, her loud footsteps alerted Floyd who was trying to see where she was. The little bug was out of breath and was trying to circle the patio trying to kill time to get to the damn tree just didn't count that—

“Oya oya, what do we have here?”- She didn't see where the voice was coming from, she just felt someone put her foot on her for her to fall, Floyd who is not silly at all, took the opportunity and grabbed the student rolling them both on the floor.

“I got you Koebi-chan!~~~” for a moment they forgot why they were running, laughing until their stomachs hurt, biting each other- hey, that's a sign of trust, right?- “Come on little shrimp…I got you ahead of time. You have to do your part of the bargain!”

“You cheated Floyd! I made the deal with you and not Jade-

“I was just passing by and coincidentally tripped over it just as our dear Yuu was running. Oh, I'm so sorry. What a tragedy.” With her hand on her chest, Jade helped her to get up from the ground, but her smile had nothing innocent about it.

“Don't even come with that Jade-” not here you felaa-” Floyd, it was supposed to be you alone but since I'm in a good mood today let's do this: I'll tell you where Riddle is NOT and you can hug me more…”

“What a good treat Koebii~” Floyd didn't need any more words to convince him, throwing his tall frame on top of Yuu and her brother, taking them to the ground.

But she was used to the twins' unpredictable tendencies. After all, 1 year had passed since his arrival. When she arrived in this strange world, everything was very “strange” for her, so much so that reality only dropped three days later, and when it did, all she could think about was hiding in a dark corner of the abandoned house.

The sun was setting when they got up, after laughing and talking about various topics Yuu would probably regret someday. After so much brutality, Floyd extended a gentle hand for his friend to stand up, his eyes widening as he realized—

“Neee~Koebi-chan, you're getting heavy and meaty too!” happily he comments

“Hunhun, and it looks stronger fufu. It ran a lot further this time and endured my brother's hugs longer” Jade congratulates her, looking at her legs and biceps that were no longer fragile matchsticks

“But if you grow too big, I won't be able to call you little shrimp anymore…ah! Ah! I know! If you grow any bigger I’ll call you the little lobster, okay?”

“Well, get ready, honey, I’m going to be a lobster!” determined Yuu hugs her friends and then says goodbye. She didn't know it, but there were eyes watching her...

A year later adaptation arrived, his body that had lost a lot of weight due to the excessive work of a certain crow and the constant stress that brought it, was weak and thin, but now with the balanced diet that Vil himself had prepared and physical exercises with Vargas she was able to get back to the body she was: strong, toned and curvy, she could keep up with the athletics group with Deuce and go for morning jogs with Jack - when Grim pushed her out of bed she inevitably woke up and by coincidence Jack was passing by Ramcharchle. Killing two with one stone.-

It was at the start of quiet sophomore year that her hair, once a shade of brown with golden, curly strands, was dyed night-black. Her hair was opaque before and didn't reach her chin, as the foreigner used her impulsive cuts as a defense mechanism, saying it was "not to draw attention". A year later, her hair was bust-length, shiny and perfectly brushed and styled.

At first glance, her ties were deepened here, but there was a symbolism behind it that left your mouth bitter. Her natural hair was her memory of home, something that says "I'm not from here, I have a place to go back". Crowley was the one who came up with the idea "Well, if you're going to stay longer, why don't you look like your beloved director who welcomed you as a father figure, my little bird?" Crowley and Crewel became very attached to the girl, always taking care of the puppy with affection but with hugs that didn't allow her to go very far. .

In her second year, she improved her beast taming capabilities. Occasionally, she is seen piloting a great blue dragon through the skies, or combing the fur of a dangerous chimera, or stopping Grim from stuffing his mouth with fish at Scarabia's dinner. The latter, he finds to be the most useful skill.

Not far from there, Riddle had finished his Riding training, saying goodbye elegantly to his colleagues and walking to the Heartstabull...unfortunately he didn't get there.

Trim..trim…

'Huh? Call from Carter?' - In the middle of her sacred coffee with Grim, Yuu receives a call from her senior, Carter Diamond. What would the magicam star want at a time like this?

-Hello? It's Yuu, all right senpai? -A-ahh Yuu, I need you to come to the dorm now! -Is it really necessary? I put my coffee on now… -What Yuu?? I'm not l-l- istening! Something… interfering… -The toast is warm too…want to have a coffee with me? -I'm serious Yuu! It's- an emergency! Come quickly!

And hung up…

Her precious coffee was already in the cup filled to the top, waiting to be taken and enjoyed by the tired student, but the agitated and trembling voice of the so cheerful Carter made her take only three sips worriedly, leaving quickly with Grim meowing that the toast would get cold. Until a hoarse, frightening scream interrupted her mind and the thousand scenarios of what could be happening.

“How strang-!!!”- Yuu gasps, clutching Grim protectively in her arms, despite being flustered the girl takes a moment to record the image of the sound maker, who was on an old pole near the house.

It was a white bird, a type of owl with a heart-shaped face and eyes like completely black spheres, then a hook-shaped beak. The creature turns 160 degrees and stares at Yuu and Grim, the girl feels a shiver run down her spine and a bad feeling settles in her stomach but….

Yuu decides that with so many fantastical creatures and so many overblots, a white owl is the least of her problems right now and continuing on her way more quickly she thinks back to what could have happened in the dorm, which she considered her second home.

Of all her imagined scenarios none came close to the vision in front of her.

Riddle was lying on the floor. His body pale and icy. His eyes were completely white, without corneas, without irises and without pupils. His red hair was an aged shade of red, as if all of his life had been sucked out of him. Veins, now transparent, pulsing reluctantly to life and bringing a barely existent low breath, no signs of waking up.

“Carter! What's going on? What happened to Riddle?”- one of the clones of the red haired one grabbed Yuu who ran when he saw the scene and tried to calm her down, while Trey covered his fallen friend's body with a jacket.

“Riddle took a long time to come back, 15min late. This has never happened before.”- Trey replied from afar.

“We arrived here and when we saw his state, we called you and the Director”- completed Carter, who was trying to take Yuu to check the body, he himself didn't have the courage- “We cast an invisible barrier spell, and we waited for the director to arrive to take him quickly to the infirmary.” he concluded.

“What do you think it could be?”

“I don't know, I've never seen anything like it. It must have been something really strong to catch him off guard and leave him with…”- swallowing the fear and sadness trapped in his throat, the green-haired one tries to continue, being the responsible senpai ever-”… with that expression. terrified in the face.”

There were no signs of violence on the body, no spell fighting, no signs of poisoning. Grim didn't smell any different, saying it was the same as the one in the library.

“Let's sort this out, guys.”- giving one last look at his friend, Yuu puts his jacket over him again and stands up to look and investigate.

They checked every inch of that area, but the wind blew a small white feather from the enclosure.

DIASOMNIA HEADERS!

secrecy & scars

Genre/Tropes: Comparing hand sizes. Just hands.

Summary: You've always wondered what was under Rook's gloves.

Author's Comments: One of my irl friends has a headcanon that Rook has a bunch of scars on his hands and so I wrote this. It was finished in about an hour when I was supposed to be doing my homework but honestly I'm really excited for this because hey!!! Rook fluff!!! Happy Book Six part two release!! (Is it just me or are the minigames actually kinda hard???)

~~~~~

Whenever you saw Rook, he was always wearing his gloves. You’re pretty sure they’re completely attached to his hands, because in all your time at NRC he hasn’t taken them off in front of you once. Even when the weather is warm and the trees are rustling with the breeze of a coming summer, his gloves are still in their usual place. It’s an odd thing to fixate on, you’re aware of that, but you can’t stop the way your gaze falls on him whenever he’s near you. You’re just so curious, and it’s getting rather irritating.

Especially right now, because you’re supposed to be studying and yet you’re having this problem again.

Maybe it’s your fault for studying outside, but you usually come to this tree when you need to relax. Your current spot offers a lovely view of the Botanical Gardens, where you can see Rook talking with Trey. He’s wearing his labwear so he has gloves on again, much to your disappointment. But honestly, what do you expect? It was his club time, of course he would be wearing his gloves.

His eyes flicker in your direction and you snap your head back towards your book, a warmth climbing up your neck. Great Seven, you hope he didn’t catch you staring. That would be so embarrassing.

You look up to check if he’s gone, only to find him making his way towards you, a sneaky smile on his face.

And he’s staring right at you.

You yelp and shove your face in your book again, as if that would make him go away. A warm breeze flips the pages over your left thumb, and the grass tickles your ankles as the huntsman sits down beside you and leans against the tree you’re using as shelter from the sun.

“Mon coeur, what are you reading?” Rook hums, resting his head on your shoulder and looking down at your book.

“Um, I’m studying alchemy.” you answer, brain fumbling to come up with an excuse as to why you were staring at him in the first place for when he inevitably asks.

“I see. Was I distracting you?” he laughs, and you swallow thickly as he leans impossibly closer, “I’ve noticed your staring, did you think I wouldn't?”

Your breath catches in your throat, and if things couldn’t get any worse, a gloved hand pushes your chin up with a single, crooked index finger.

“There we are.” Rook smiles, eyes crinkling in the corners as he stares at you, “Your eyes are so beautiful, it would be a shame to hide them.”

You whip your neck around so quickly that you’re sure you almost broke it, and Rook’s laughter does nothing to stop the frantic pounding of your heart.

“Oh, mon coeur! I was only teasing, I swear!” he chuckles, “Though if a phantom were to ever see your lovely visage, they would perish, for your radiance will cure their tortured existence and they will know peace! I must say, to have someone like you gaze upon me as though you’re infatuated has my heart racing in my chest! Tell me, mon coeur, what is your reason for doing so?”

Did he have to speak so flowery? While it was endearing, it made him hard to understand at times (and it always, always embarrassed you.)

“I’ll answer that if…if you let me ask you something first.” you mumble, swallowing your nerves and meeting his gaze.

“Oh, mon coeur, anything.” he coos, lowering his voice on octave as he leans closer, “What is it?”

“Why do you wear gloves all the time?” you ask, eyes flickering down to his still covered hands, “I see you wearing them all the time. You were even wearing them when I slept over at Pomfiore that one time with Epel-”

“Curious, are you?” he sighs, the sound soft and amused, 

You’re about to say that yes, you’ve been curious since forever, and that you’ve always kinda wanted to hold his hands and admire them but they were always covered so you didn’t even have any daydream material damn it, but he’s peeling them off and folding them neatly on the grass beside him before you can vocalize any of that.

Your jaw hangs open with the shock of seeing his bare hands. Seeing him without his gloves is a rare sight, though right now they’re clenched in his lap as if he feels vulnerable without them.

“Can I see them?” you blurt before you can stop yourself.

Thankfully, Rook ignores the fact that you’re now up to two questions, and simply unravels his fingers and holds his hands out to you. You take both of them in yours, comparing your hand sizes. Once you’re satisfied, you take your left hand away from his left and bring it to his right. You flip his hand over and examine the long scar that runs from the base of his pinky finger to his thumb, and even though you know it doesn’t hurt anymore you still trace over it worryingly.

“That was a long time ago, mon coeur.” Rook whispers, his pretty voice drifting in the gentle breeze, “I’ve been on many hunts and have been hunted myself.”

You don’t pry. The way he talked about the scar sent a dagger of dread plunging into your stomach. Plus, you know Rook well enough to know that he doesn’t like people prying into his personal life. It’s a miracle he took his gloves off for you.

You flip his hand back over and run your thumb over the back of his hand. It’s a bit smoother than his palm, but you can tell his knuckles are calloused from hard work. You move onto his fingers, where you intertwine them with yours. There’s much smaller scars littered along his skin, but he doesn’t say anything about them so you don’t ask.

In a moment of bravery, you cradle his hand tenderly and bring it to your lips, pressing an affectionate kiss to the skin.

Rook sucks in a quiet breath, but you don’t look up. You're too embarrassed.

Moving onto his left hand, you treat this one with the same care. There’s no large scars on this hand, but there are once again many small ones littering the flesh. You feel your brow furrowing with more concern at all the injuries he sustained over the years. If this is what his hands look like, then how bad are his arms?

You have questions, but you do not pry.

“I promise they do not hurt.” Rook whispers, his right hand reaching around the back of your head in a gentle cradle. He begins scratching, a soothing sleepy feeling creeping into your brain as your furrowing brow slips away into a relaxed expression.

“I believe you.” you whisper back, as if what happened here today is a precious secret that you’ll never share with anyone else as long as you live.

Rook understands.

He slips his gloves back on all too soon, and your heart is pounding when you think he’s about to leave, but your excuse-making brain stalls when he doesn’t make a move to get up.

“Please.” he murmurs, picking up your forgotten book, “Allow me.”

He pats the spot of grass next to him and you scramble to answer his request, resting your back against the tree trunk as he gets comfortable next to you. Your knees are touching, and that's the only thing you can think about as he rests the book on the both of you, your thighs cushioning the cover that’s been warmed by the sun.

“Beautiful.” Rook whispers, and when you look up he’s staring right at you.

“Yeah.” you say, and you stare right back at him.

The book is once again forgotten.

Notas:Não vou dar muitos avisos antes de cada cap, porque né, o suspense. A Yuu é uma menina e tem por volta de 18 anos. Só digo que teremos muitos momentos platônicos e românticos na série, e que sempre leiam até o final do cap <3

Capítulo I: Eu vou te pegar

Yuu atravessou os longos corredores da biblioteca antiga ,passava por eles como se conhecesse cada ponta velha e cada livro esquecido. Porque na verdade, ela conhece. Assim que chegou nesse estranho mundo procurou de todas as formas voltar para sua dimensão original, cascaviando todos os livros sobre viagens multi-dimensionais, garimpando toda e qualquer informação sobre com voltar para casa.Mas não é para isso que ela está aqui hoje e com Riddle muito menos.

“Se quiser sobreviver nesse mundo terá que aprender sobre ele”

Foi o propósito que Riddle insistiu para ter algumas aulas com o aluno extrangeiro. O líder de Heartslabyul tinha o cabelo vermelho carmesim e o temperamento de um diretor de escola infantil, das suas narinas sempre saíam fumaça e da sua boca recitavam as 810 questionáveis leis da Rainha de Copas. Se não fosse pelos belos olhos azul acinzentados, Yuu teria aderido ao caos da anarquia, mas por ser pacífica optou por uma ou outra provocação.

“Riddle, eu estive pensando, essas leis são realmente necessárias?” geralmente isso levava para algumas discussões divertidas com os sorrisos do gato de Cheshire

Hoje estavam em uma mesa reclusa da biblioteca antiga, discutindo sobre a origem de algumas figuras e mitologia.

“Segundo historiadores, a rainha de copas tinha uma cabeça proporcional, mas devido a um acidente um pouco antes da coroação, ela sofreu uma lesão que levou a inchar sua cabeça.”

“E o seu ego…”Yuu murmurou, tinha várias coisas a falar sobre a majestade tirânica mas mordeu a língua… hoje pelo menos

“O que disse?”

“E as criaturas do Reino das Rosas?”

“Dizem que as criaturas são espécies extintas do reino durante a colonização…- ele parou e procurou a página no livro com ilustrações- Quando os colonizadores tentaram explorar algumas terras desconhecidas foi relatado que encontraram flores tão altas que os impediram de continuar, então eles decidiram cortar e escutaram vozes da floresta os expulsando.” Isso era para ser assustador? Uma ideia passou pela cabeça da estudante sem magia, seus olhos brilhando em lembranças e fez a melhor voz de narrador de contos de terror que conseguiu.

“As lendas daqui são bem interessantes, mas no meu  mundo temos uma visão diferente sobre natureza”

“Ah, por favor me conte Yuu.” Riddle se inclinava para a frente à medida que  Yuu se aproximava, naturalmente curioso e com sede de conhecimento.

“Na era da exploração, um fazendeiro rico queria aumentar suas terras e para isso, ele destruiu as terras protegidas dos indígenas.Certa vez ele levou o seu capataz para abrir a mata em um terreno sagrado e neste dia, a natureza furiosa enviou uma criatura de cabeça de fogo e pés virados para trás para acabar com a vida miserável do homem”

Arregalando os olhos e prendendo a respiração, Riddle silenciosamente acenou com a cabeça para Yuu continuasse “Com um grito animalesco a criatura fincou uma estaca de fogo no coração do homem que caiu “morto” no chão-

“Por que as aspas? Ele não está morto?” Rido questionou o sinal físico de aspas que sua amiga fez, mas sentiu um arrepio imediato ao ver quanto o seu rosto se escureceu

“Entretanto… ele era tão odiosamente terrível que tanto o céu quanto o inferno o rejeitaram e a terra se recusou a enterrar tal alma diabólica. O agora Corpo Seco foi amaldiçoado eternamente em uma condição de espírito imundo condenada a vagar pelas cidades até que chegue o fim dos tempos mas… dizem que se o Corpo Seco encontrar um hospedeiro tão ruim quanto ele, ele o possuirá e usará  o corpo vivo para fazer maldades piores ainda até que uma entidade da natureza mais forte apareça.”

O tão severo líder do Heartabull  mantinha seus olhos fixos em um canto específico, sentia-se anestesiado com tantas informações que acabara de ouvir tanto que nem percebeu que Yuu havia se levantado da cadeira com intenções traquinas de assustá-lo por trás.

“Riddlee~”  com um  tapinha de leve o de cabelo vermelho soltou um gritinho agudo que, sim, toda a biblioteca ouviu.

“Oh pelos Sete! Yuu!”

“Riddle-chan, não deve fazer barulho na biblioteca, sabia?" o provocou 

“Eu não teria gritado se você não—

“Yanoo….latas de atum…” um felino querido, Grim, dormia pacificamente sem problemas em cima dos livros quando escapou palavras enquanto dormia

Tal ação, trouxe para os dois líderes risadinhas infantis e inocentes, que foram abafadas pelo macio pelo de Grimm. Um momento doce que poucos veriam…

E como tudo o que é bom dura pouco….

“Aaaah Kingyo-chann eu sei que está aí"uma voz muito conhecida dos dois ecoou pelos corredores

“Aa-ah Floyd! Ele não pode me ver, se não estarei atrasado para o Clube de Equitação" suas anteninhas voltaram-se para cima em alerta e em sussurros agitados ele se vira para Yuu

“Eu distraio ele, Grim leva ele até a passagem do corredor 03” sussurrou de volta Yuu e negociou uma lata de atum para seu companheiro

A menina conhecia as passagens secretas de NRC como se fosse a palma de suas mãos, e Riddle assim os confiou pois o memorável duo de Ramshackle eram como irmãos para ele, o que foi muito difícil considerando os muros e barreiras que foram construídas desde seu overblot.

“Até logo, obrigada.” 

“Eu que agradeço"

Um código de sinais foi trocado entre os dois antes de Riddle entrar pela escura passagem secreta do outro lado da biblioteca, a linguagem foi criada aos poucos, um mix da linguagem de sinais de seu querido mundo e de Twisted Wonderland que a se aprofundando à medida que os laços com a outra pessoa iam se aprofundando.

“Com quem estava falando Koebi-chann?” A voz do gêmeo a tirou rapidamente de seus pensamentos, ele estava na mesa em que eles estudavam há pouco, com uma posição relaxada com o familiar sorriso largo de dentes afiados.

“Floyd, vamos brincar.”- determinada ela iniciou seu plano em mente.

“Aaah não tô no mood de brincar de pega com Koebi-chan, eu quero brincar com Kingyo-chan"- já desinteressado Floyd se levantava  com uma expressão séria

“E se fizermos um trato?” Quando Yuu se meteu na frente do mais alto, ele não esperava essas palavras dela “Se você me pegar em 3 minutos, eu te digo onde Riddle está,mas se não,não te digo nada.” Oh isso chamou a atenção dele, já marcando o temporizador no relógio dela

“Koebi-chan é tão criativa!Vamos brincar! Eu conto tá: 1…2…3 e já!Corra rápido se não vou te pegarr~” o gêmeo cantarolou, a voz preguiçosa mas um olhar de predador

Os dois correram desenfreados saindo da biblioteca, Yuu ia esquivando-se das mesas enquanto Floyd, o mermaid, preferia pular em cima delas para aborrecer os estudantes. Do lado de fora, a menina conseguiu um bom impulso no corredor se aproveitando que  Floyd tentava passar pela porta.

2 minutos…

Cada um do lado oposto do corredor, Floyd exibia seus dentes afiados e Yuu um sorriso brincalhão, a risada de ambos se espalhava no corredor: alta, descoordenada e sem nenhuma preocupação. Ao virar uma esquina que ia para o pátio, despistou Floyd e só então a adrenalina a deixou lembrar uma coisinha: Onde tem fogo tem fumaça. E os gêmeos do terror, como Grim os chama, são um verdadeiro incêndio. Floyd está aqui…onde está Jade?

1 minuto - conferiu no relógio

“Ahh estou tão perto de me livrar desse maluco!”- pensava com o peito subindo e descendo e a respiração ofegante. Os olhos procuravam cada possível lugar para subir ou se esconder, Floyd é mais rápido mas se ela conseguir ficar longe dele até o tempo parar…

“A árvore!”

30 segundos

A menina correu com todas suas forças em direção à  árvore do pátio, seus passos altos alertaram Floyd que estava tentando enxergar onde ela estava. A bichinha estava sem ar e tentava rodear o pátio tentando matar o tempo para chegar na maldita árvore só não contava que—

“Oya oya, o que temos aqui?”-  Ela não viu de onde vinha a voz só sentiu alguém colocar o pé para ela cair, Floyd que não é nada bobo, aproveitou a chance e agarrou a estudante rolando os dois no chão.

“Te peguei Koebi-chan!~~~” por um momento se esqueceram do porque que estavam correndo, rindo até a barriga doer, mordendo um ao outro- hey, isso é sinal de confiança tá?- “Vamos camarãozinho…eu te peguei antes do tempo. Tem que fazer sua parte do trato!”

“Você trapaceou Floyd!Eu fiz o trato com você e não com o Jade-

“Eu só estava passando aqui e coincidentemente passei a perna bem na hora que nossa querida Yuu estava correndo. Ah, sinto muito.Que tragédia.” Com a mão no peito Jade a ajudou a levantar do chão mas seu sorriso não tinha nada de inocente

“Nem vem com essa Jade-” aqui não seu felaa-” Floyd, era pra ser você sozinho mas como estou de bom humor hoje façamos assim: Eu te digo onde o Riddle NÃO está e você pode me abraçar mais…”

“Mas que trato bom Koebii~” Floyd não precisou de mais nenhuma palavra para convencê-lo, jogando sua figura alta em cima de Yuu e seu irmão, levando-os ao chão.

Mas ela já estava acostumada com as tendências imprevisíveis dos gêmeos.

Afinal, 1 ano havia se passado desde sua chegada.

Quando chegou nesse mundo estranho tudo era muito “estranho” para ela, tanto que a ficha da realidade só caiu três dias depois, e quando caiu ela só pensava em se esconder em um canto escuro da casa abandonada.

O sol estava se pondo quando eles levantaram-se, depois de rir e de conversar sobre vários assuntos, que Yuu provavelmente ia se arrepender algum dia. Depois de tanta brutalidade, Floyd estendeu uma mão gentil para amiga se levantar, arregalando os olhos quando percebeu–

“Neee~Koebi-chan, você está ficando pesada e com mais carne também!” alegremente ele comenta

“Hunhun, e parece mais forte fufu. Correu muito mais longe dessa vez e suportou os abraços do meu irmão mais tempo” Jade a parabeniza, observando seus pernas e bíceps que não eram mais palitinhos frágeis

“Mas se você crescer muito não vou mais poder te chamar de camarãozinho…ah!Ah!Já sei! Se crescer mais vou te chamar de Lagostinha, ok?”

“Pois se prepare meu bem, eu vou ser uma lagostinha!” determinada Yuu abraça seus amigos e se despedem em seguida. Ela não sabia, mas havia olhos que a observavam.

Um ano depois adaptação chegou, o seu corpo que havia perdido muito peso devido aos trabalhos excessivos de um certo corvo e o constante estresse que a traziam, era fraco e magro, mas agora com a dieta balanceada que o próprio Vil havia elaborado  e exercícios físicos com Vargas conseguiu voltar ao corpo que era: forte tonificado e curvilíneo, ela conseguia acompanhar o grupo de atletismo com Deuce e fazer corridas matinais com Jack - quando Grim a empurrava da cama inevitavelmente ela acordava e por coincidência Jack estava passando por Ramcharchle. Matando dois com uma pedra só.-

Foi no início do tranquilo segundo ano que seu cabelo, ora antes um tom de castanho com fios dourados e encaracolados, foi tingido de um tom preto como noite. Seu cabelo antes opaco e não chegava ao seu queixo, pois a estrangeira usava seus cortes impulsivos como um mecanismo de defesa dizendo que era "para não chamar atenção".Um ano depois, seus cabelos estavam na altura do busto, brilhosos e perfeitamente escovados e estilizados. 

À primeira vista, seus laços eram aprofundados aqui, mas havia um simbolismo por trás que deixava sua boca com amargor. Seu cabelo natural era sua memória de casa, algo que diz   "eu não sou daqui, eu tenho um lugar para voltar". Crowley foi quem deu a ideia "Ora se vai ficar mais ano, porque não se parece com seu amado diretor que te acolheu como uma figura paterna, meu passarinho?" Crowley e Crewel se apegaram bastante à menina, sempre cuidando do filhote com carinho... mas com abraços que não permitiam que ela fosse muito longe. Entretanto, por mais que tentassem não conseguiam mudar a cor e o brilho dos olhos de Yuu, as janelas da alma.

No segundo ano, ela melhorou suas capacidades de domadora de feras. Vez ou outra, é vista pilotando um grande dragão azul pelos céus ou penteando os pelos de uma perigosa quimera, ou ainda, impedindo Grim de encher a boca de peixe num jantar da Scarabia. Esta última, acha ela ser a habilidade mais útil.

Não muito longe dali, Riddle havia terminado seu treino de Equitação, se despedindo elegantemente de seus colegas  e caminhando para o Heartstabull...infelizmente ele não chegou lá.

Trim..trim…

‘Huh?Ligação de Carter?’- no meio de seu cafezinho sagrado com Grim, Yuu recebe uma ligação de seu sênior, Carter Diamond. O que a estrela do magicam vai querer numa hora dessas?

-Alô?É a Yuu, tudo bem senpai?

-A-ahh Yuu, eu preciso que venha agora para o dormitório!

-É realmente necessário? Eu coloquei meu café agora…

-O que Yuu??Não estou esc-cccc-tando! Algo…interferindddo…

-O pão tá quentinho também…quer tomar um café comigo?

-Estou fala-nndo sério Yuu!É- uma emergência!Venha depressa!

E desligou…

Seu precioso café já estava na xícara  cheio até o topo, esperando ser tomado e apreciado pela estudante cansada,mas a voz agitada e trêmula do tão alegre Carter a fez tomar apenas três golinhos preocupada, saindo rapidamente com Grim miando que as torradas iriam esfriar até que um grito rouco e assustador interrompeu sua mente e os milhares de cenários do que poderia estar acontecendo.

“Que estranh-!!!”- Yuu se sobressalta agarrando Grim protetivamente em seus braços, apesar de perturbada a menina leva um momento para gravar a imagem do feitor do som, que estava em um poste velho próximo a casa.

Era uma ave branca,um tipo de coruja com o rosto em formato de coração e olhos como esferas completamente negras,logo um bico em formato de gancho. A criatura dá um giro de 160 graus e encara Yuu e Grim fixamente, a menina sente um arrepio percorrer a espinha e um mau pressentimento se estabelece no seu estômago mas….

Yuu decide que com tantas criaturas fantásticas e tantos overblots, uma coruja branca é o menor dos seus problemas agora e continuando seu caminho mais rapidamente ela volta a pensar no que poderia ter acontecido no dormitório, que considerava sua segunda casa.

De todos os seus cenários imaginários nenhum chegava perto da visão na sua frente.

Riddle estava caído no chão, seu corpo  pálido e gélido.Seus olhos completamente brancos, sem córneas, sem íris e sem pupilas. O cabelo vermelho era um tom de vermelho envelhecido, como se toda sua vida tivesse sido sugada dele. As veias, agora transparentes, pulsavam relutantemente a vida e traziam uma respiração baixa quase inexistente, sem sinais de acordar.

“Carter!O que está acontecendo? O que aconteceu com o Riddle?”- um dos clones do de cabelos ruivos segurou Yuu que correu ao ver a cena e  tentou acalmá-la, enquanto Trey cobria o corpo do amigo caído com uma jaqueta.

“Riddle demorou muito para voltar, 15min atrasado. Isso nunca aconteceu antes.”- Trey respondeu de longe.

“Chegamos aqui e quando vimos o estado dele, ligamos para você e o Diretor”- completava Carter, que tentava levar Yuu para verificar o corpo, ele mesmo não tinha coragem- “Lançamos um feitiço de barreira invisível, e esperamos o diretor chegar para levá-lo rápido à enfermaria.” concluiu.

“O que acha que possa ser?”

“Não sei, nunca vi nada assim. Deve ter sido algo realmente forte para pegá-lo desprevenido e deixá-lo com…”- engolindo o medo e a tristeza presos na garganta, o de fios verdes tenta continuar, sendo o senpai responsável de sempre-.”.. com essa expressão apavorada no rosto.”

Não havia nenhum sinal de violência no corpo, nenhuma luta de feitiços, nenhum sinal de envenenamento. Grim não sentiu nenhum cheiro diferente, dizendo que era o mesmo que o da biblioteca.

“Vamos resolver isso, rapazes.”- dando uma última olhada em seu amigo, Yuu põe a jaqueta sobre ele novamente  levantado-se para procurar e investigar.

Eles verificaram cada centímetro daquela área, mas o vento levou uma pequena pena branca do recinto.
