[Warning: Mention of falling down the stairs, Cleithrophobia]

Luz stood in defense for Willow when they got cornered in the bathroom.

"Look, I know you're targeting me to get mad... So could you just stop targeting Willow!? She didn't do anything!" She said.

"Luz, please don't..." Willow tried to hush her.

"No, Willow! You need at least one person to stand up to you! So I'll volunteer for that!" Luz hushed her instead.

Boscha laughed.

Luz turned to her with a scowl.

"Look, I'll do anything you want. Just stop harassing her with your stupid pranks! They're not harmless at all! You almost made her lose her voice if she drank that nasty stuff back in the cafeteria!!" She hissed.

"You really want me to stop??" Boscha scoffed.

Luz couldn't agree more to it.

"Fine..." Boscha snickered.

"You only need to do one thing for me even..." She continued.

Luz stood her ground.

"What is it?" She asked.

Boscha smirked and asked one thing from her, "the rumor about the ghost having a knife is confusing... If you can get the ghost's knife, I'll stop, but... We'll do it later at midnight today. Just so I can make sure you don't try bringing some other knife with you to school..."

Luz gritted her teeth.

As much as she didn't believe in ghosts being real, she hated... No, just outright unconsciously despised darkness in cold ghastly rooms.

"Fine..!" She agreed.

What a great way to start her new classes with her new teacher.

...

It was late.

Luz slowly snuck out of hiding and walked out in the dim corridors.

She gulped looking around her.

"It should be at that personnel room." She muttered slowly walking around with her bag around her shoulder.

She didn't go back to her dorm and walked.

When she finally got to the spot.

She saw a smirk evident in Boscha's face.

Luckily, only Boscha stayed. The girls from before with her left.

"After you?" Boscha mocked.

Luz growled and twisted the knob.

She perked up.

It was open.

"Huh?? Open?" She pondered.

"Of course, it is, hell, I don't even think any of the teachers or the principal locks that door anymore." Boscha snarked.

Luz frowned and quietly swung the door open.

The dim light from the hallway they were in wasn't enough to light the stairs down.

In fact, it only allowed a view of a few steps before letting everything seep through complete darkness.

"It's pretty dark." She hummed taking a step forward.

Boscha grinned and raised afoot.

Kick.

Luz was a little too late to scream.
