Horizon View Academy - Origins Roleplay

Chapter 25 - Missing?

Ah, another day. Surely you've gotten over the loss of Kai. What? You haven't? Oh, well, that's too bad. Classes are back up and running! However... Mrs Midas is strangely absent from her classroom as well as Principal Celeste... Could they be in her office? Or the staffroom, maybe? How peculiar...

Ryland stood outside his room. Jay had challenged him to a roller skate racing competition.

"Aren't you coming to class?" Valkyrie turned, nearly out if the door.

"Nah. Jay challenged me to a roller sate competition and I refuse to be beat by a moth." Ryland blinked,"Have you seen her, by the way?"

"Sorry, no." They sighed.

"Hmm." Ryland crossed his arms.

"I'd better get going. Bye Ry." She waved, walking out.

"See you." Ryland hummed.

Cloud walked into history. The tension in the air seemed so thick that they contemplated grabbing a knife to see if they could cut through it. The teacher, Principal Celeste, was not there however. All that was left was a history textbook on each desk

"Hmm. "Cloud sat down, blinking.

EPR sighed as it walked in shortly after.

"Oh... Hi."

"Greetings "E.P.R nodded slowly.

A tired looking Circe walked in with a frog on her head, though she did not seem to notice

"Circe, there's um... A frog, there." E.P.R pointed.

"Ugghhhhhh! Darned things been bothering me for the past 10 hours!" She groaned.

"Have you tried putting it back on the pond?"

Cloud giggled.

"Ya think?" Circe rolled their eyes.

"Just a suggestion, no need the get hostile."

"Why is it so unwilling to go awayyyyy." Circe complained. "And hey, wheres the teacher?"

"Principal Celeste is in the staffroom, accompanied by Potions Professor, Mrs Midas." E.P.R stated after a brief scan.

"Well then, wadda we do?" Ivy asked, skipping in.

"Well, we could go look for 'em." Cameron suggested, poking his head into the classroom,"The teachers are definitely up to something."

"Ivy, go on my behalf and video tape it. I am going to sleep now." Circe pointed.

"All those interested, follow me." Cameron then walked out.

Ivy skipped after him, holding a camera.

Jeremiah sighed, looking around. Ever since the fight, more and more people completely skipped. Miss Morton was again, running late, but Fern was still there. She seemed to be reading a book. Jeremiah quietly played the piano. Fern continued reading, softly humming along to his melody.

"Have you ever wondered what this school would be like without the murder?" Jeremiah quietly asked.

"Probably very nice, we'd want to be here." Fern sighed.

"I was thinking about stopping Hades myself but then he killed Kai... And I  watched the whole thing as a ghost. And no matter how much tried, I couldn't move, to help Kai or run away," Jeremiah sighed, a tear running down his cheek as he remembered the traumatic experience.
