Ash's POV:

"Se-Serena~"

While we were waiting at the hallway that leads to the principal's office, Serena finally came by and she wasn't alone. She was with her bodyguards and May could have even started a riot with her if only Serena's bodyguards were not responsive enough to protect her.

"I am so not overlooking this incident, Serena! I'll deal with you soon!" May exclaimed furiously while Drew was trying to keep her still and Serena finally entered the principal's room where everyone else were waiting.

"Errr~! She really got in my nerves today! He-hey~ Let me go already, Keyboard..."

"You should not be so aggressive. It doesn't do you any good, Locket. And-"

"Oh, please... How can I care to calm down? It's Dawn that we're being concerned with here.... And the fact that this incident has been beyond what I could have imagined, I can't just really keep still about it, of course! That evil-"

"Shh~ Lower your voice down~ They might hear you already~"

"Ugh~ Ge-get your hands off my mouth!"

Drew only took a deep breath and just leaned on the wall after May crossed her arms and narrowed her gaze on him.

Just then, the guards told us to leave the place and we were obliged to follow so the three of us only walked our way to the garden still lost in thought about what could be happening already in there and how was Dawn at the moment.

This incident isn't something that is merely a joke after all... Hang in there, Dawn~ You'll be alright... You've been saved after all...

"Oh, that's right. You said that you two were there during the incident. If that so, have you figured out who saved her from that fall? Locket, you said that she just suddenly vanished...." Drew spoke up breaking the tension of silence between us and I was caught up with it.

"Right. It just happened so fast, Drew~ I mean... I think I kinda saw something like a bird back then before Dawn vanished... Ohh~ Hm... I wonder what was that or maybe who was that?? That could be the reason how Dawn was lying safely here too when I found her. We have to find out who was that~" I said fidgeting my fingers under my chin and I then eyed Drew.

"Hey, Drew, where were you at that moment?"

Drew sat down next to me before he answered my question.

"I told you two that I would be checking the music room, right? I also went to get my bag there and the music sheets but I ended up playing the piano when I was supposed to go out. There was this piano sheet that was left there and it was something new so I tried to play it. Then what I heard next is the commotion going on."

Drew brought his sight afar and the breeze accompanied us in that cottage.

"Everyone else were in a panic. I thought there was a fire.... Then I got this news about Dawn so I searched for you two but I ended up finding Locket alone in the infirmary... I couldn't imagine this could happen all of a sudden~"

I lowered my head and I breathed out.

"It's really unexpected, huh~" I said and changed my aura and showed a brighter face before I stood up and faced May and Drew who seem to be still bothered by the incident with Dawn.

"Hey, you two~ Let's greet Dawn with a smile later, alright? We can't be sad just because this happened. I know that we could have lost her back then and it would have been inevitable. I can't think if something even worse really happened to her. But let's not overlook that she is alive and safe and fine. I don't know how but I want to be grateful for that someone who saved her~"
