Wishing Well

Its been a couple of days ever since the disappearing of the 2nd year from Savanaclaw.The rumors and whispering didn't die down at all.In fact,it actually worsened.

People even started to make theories about it.The investigation team also still couldnt find any evidence onto where he went.Not a single trace.They searched around the entire building of Ramshackle.Even to areas near it.Yet,nothing.

Come to think of it,Neige was texting [Y/N] rather very frequently the days before.After the disappearing of the Savanaclaw student,he gone dead silent and hadn't contact them ever since.

Yuu and [Y/N] found it very suspicious.But didn't think much of it since someone like Neige couldn't possibly do any harm to anyone.Neige is too nice and innocent to even hurt a fly.

While [Y/N] was convinced that it couldn't be all that related to Neige,Yuu was a bit skeptical.Yuu accidentally saw [Y/N]'s conversation with Neige on their phone last night.And how he suddenly stopped spam messaging them random things as soon as it turned Friday. (the day the student went missing)

They tried bringing it up to [Y/N] but they made it loud and clear that they don't believe it could be Neige behind it.But Yuu was a bit paranoid at the overwhelming thoughts and questions in their head every night.Which lead to where they are now,somewhere in of the forest at the middle of the night.

Yuu of course did not bring Grimm or anyone else.Because it might get them caught and get in trouble.Especially with Grimm's literal light-in-the dark ears.And Yuu was not in the mood to get lectured by some school staff.And most definitely by a teacher.

The investigation team didn't get to explore much of the forest because they were focused on the more nearby areas.They did send a police officer to take a few strolls around the school and the Ramshackle building at night.

And because that officer decided to go and buy a snack,Yuu took the opportunity and made a run for it to the forest.

As now,they were fiddling with their flashlight,the light gradually got dim and they feared that the batteries were about to die down.

They froze when they heard sounds in the distance.The sound of something being dragged and light footsteps.Ducking down into a bush as quiet as they could,the noise came closer and closer until it stopped.The sounds stopped right outside the bush,near the well.

Peaking out the thick green leaves,they could make out a silhouette.One of a tall-ish figure wearing a hat on their head.It was really dark out,so they couldn't see their face clearly.

But they could clearly see what they were dragging.

Right behind the ominous shadow,was the very missing student.Even though he was taller and seemingly more stronger than whoever the other person was,he was getting dragged by his feet.

Even thought Yuu wasn't really as close to them,they could see the mysterious person clearly shaking.It was as if they were being forced to do such thing.But Yuu didn't pay much attention to that as they were too focused figuring out what they were trying to do.

The only thing holding Yuu back from lashing out on them and pulling out their magic pen was the fact that the guy was also holding a hammer in their other hand.And that they knocked someone out that was nearly twice their size.

Pulling his feet upward and dropped them on the side of well,they continued with moving their hand onto the students upper leg,quickly pulling it up and dropping it into the well.Leaving the student with half of his body in the mouth of the wishing well.

It only took the prefect a minute to realize what he was trying to do.They had three options,one-to jump out their hiding spot and attack whoever that was,two-sneak away and get help,and three-do nothing.

They were having a panic attack by just choosing what to do.None of it would be all that helpful.If they did one,they might get injured,including the other student and mysterious 'kidnapper'.If they did two,they either will get caught,or be too late with the student getting threw into the well and the other escaping.If they did three,they would end up not having to do about it.They'd live with the guilt of knowing they just witnessed a crime scene.

So they did the one that seemed the best to them.

Taking a few steps backwards then running out the bush and jumping at them at the speed of light.A boyish yelp could be heard along with the sound of a loud thud,and hitting.Yuu reached for their magic pen,a devilish grin creeping unto their lips when they felt it against their hand.They were about to pull it out of the holder only for it to be slapped away.

"WHAT IS YOUR PRO-?!"

Slapping their hand onto Yuu's mouth,their loud protest and words came out as mumbles.They were now close enough to study their facial features and figure out who the hell this was.

Before they could conclude who the mystery kidnapper was,both of the two's attention was catched when they heard a loud dropping sound.

Looking at the direction of which the sound came from,they were confused at first to see that the other student was not where the person left it at.

Outside,the kidnapper seemed calm.But inside,their soul was screaming and scared that he might have ran away.

Meanwhile,all the color in Yuu's face drained when they realized that he fell into the well.They got up and off the other person and rushed over to the well.Taking a look inside just to be greeted with a bloody sight.It seemed that when the body fell to the bottom,the blood splashed onto the narrow walls of the well.

Covering their mouth with their palms,trying to hold in their scream.To no avail,since they ended up screaming for looking at the gorey sight for too long.

Turning their head to look back at the other person,their eyes widening like saucers when they see them not there anymore.Looking into the trees before them to hear sounds of running growing fainter.

Yuu hears more footsteps coming from behind them,they turned around to see Grimm in the arms of [Y/N],along side with the ADeuce duo.

"What happened?!"

[Y/N]'s eyes showed clear alarm and worry,even though they were still clouded and sleepy.Ace and Deuce looked even more sleepier than [Y/N].While Grimm was still sleeping soundly,cradled in [Y/N]'s arms.

Slowly turning to look at the four,their eyes still as wide as ever filled with the utmost dread.Their breath shaky,their words almost came out as a whisper.But it was loud and clear enough for them to hear.

"call the headmage."
