Twisted-Wonderland: Our Precious Treasure (Part 2)

(102) TMotDS: Sleepy Show-Time!

The game of tag was incredibly annoying in Riddle's opinion. They are wasting their time here! Just running around, keeping the Leech Twins away from Jonah. Even Riddle slowly became tired just from using too much magic. Floyd's unique magic was annoying. He kept on reflecting on all of their attacks which he redirected to Jonah, nonetheless! If only he still has his Off With Your Head, he would render that eel useless!

*cling...*

It was like everyone stopped to react. "What was that light just now?" Jonah asked, looking around just like the rest of them to see where the flicker came from.

*cling...*

"Ah..." Riddle gasped, making everyone turn to him. His chest glowed and he felt magic flowing inside of him. He pressed his hand to his chest once the light dimmed down. What just happened?

"Wha-?!" Jonah turned to Grim who was rubbing the top of his head. That's when he realized that there was nothing on top of the cat's head. "My anemone's gone!"

Jonah patted Grim's head repeatedly, lips curling into a wide smile. "It's gone! You're free!" he cheered, picking up Grim by the hips and twirled around, laughing cheerfully, not even realizing the fact that his eye once again turned green and glossed over because of the counter curse and the twins suddenly disappeared from his vision.

"Does this mean the contracts are broken?" Trey asked loud, but there was a hint of excitement in his tone.

Cater laughed. "Leona must've pulled through!"

Jade's eyes widened slightly as he turned to Cater. "...What did you say?"

"Hey, what's going on?" Floyd whined, looking back and forth at the fishes in irritation.

"After Jonah had a talk to Leona," Jack spoke up, smiling proudly. "He suddenly wanted to call Riddle..."

"Oi, Jack."

"Yes?" Jack looked to the prefect. Minutes had passed since Leona told Jonah and Grim to get out and those two didn't even complain. After that, it was like Leona stopped functioning. He just kept staring at the spot where Jonah once stood until he spoke again a few seconds ago.

"Give me your phone." Leona stretched out his hand, opening his palm to the wolf. "I need to talk with that Red Prince."

"Wait..." Ruggie frowned at Leona in disbelieve. "Are you..."

Leona gave them a sideways glare. "Do it before I change my mind."

Ruggie and Jack exchanged a glance. The corner of Ruggie's lips curled up as he shrugged, still confused but accepting the unexpected change. Jack took out a phone, quickly dialing up the number he often sent mail recently. A few seconds of ringing later, the other side finally picked up. ["Hello?"]

"Senior Trey," Jack greeted. "Is Senior Riddle with you?"

["Yeah. We just have some talk. Any problem?"]

"Senior Leona wants to speak with him."

["Okay...?"]

There was a sound of footsteps, so Jack gave the phone to Leona. "Here."

Picking the phone, Leona lifted it next to his ear. He could hear a small sniffling sound before Riddle's voice, which sounded hoarser than usual, came in. ["Hello?"]
