Superstitions

"[Y/N]?something wrong?"

Yuu turned their head back to look at the other student lagging behind them.Who's head was turned to the side,starring into the forest with wide eyes.

They turned on their heel and started to walk back to [Y/N].Putting a hand on their shoulder with a concerned look on their face.The move catching their attention which got them to look back at Yuu.

An eyebrow raised,[Y/N] blinked their eyes multiple times before chuckling nervously and saying it was nothing.They must have just seen some forest animal pass by.

Grimm,who was already far ahead called for them when he realized they weren't following along anymore.

"Henchmen!what are you doing?we must continue forward!"

The floating creature flyed back to them,his paws swinging around in the air furiously.

"Yeah yeah,whatever."

The prefect rolled their eyes as they turned around,put a hand around the shoulder of the one beside them.The two continued to walk as Grimm huffed,spinning around afloat then continued to 'lead the other two'.

But still,they couldn't help but keep looking back into the direction of the forest.They were extra paranoid now.What the hell was that?Some forest animal?a student?a teacher or staff member?or could it perhaps be..-

The sound of something falling to the ground under the space between Yuu and [Y/N] was enough to make the both jump and flinch.And enough to make Grimm stop and quickly turn around.

Looking down on the floor layed a small knife.A survival knife.[Y/N]'s survival knife.They had carried it here with them ever since they got to Night Raven College.They also put it in a more easier-to-reach pocket ever since the incident.It must have just fell out.

All three of them were stunned and didn't  move.They stayed silent until they eyed eachother on who was gonna pick the knife up.

[Y/N] crouched down to pick it up when Yuu stopped them and picked it up themselves.Putting it in their pocket instead of directly giving it to them.Looking at [Y/N] directly in the eye while doing so.

Grimm looked more than confused,turning his head multiple times.He surely did not understand what they were doing.

"Uhh what are you guys doing?Yuu,why didn't you let [Y/N] get the knife and why didn't you give it to them?isn't it theirs??"

He scratched the back of his head with the sharp claws on his paws.Yuu turned their head,and stared at him blankly before speaking.

"Back in our world,its believed if a knife is dropped,its either there is bad luck to come or a man will arrive.And its also believed that you should let someone else pick up the knife if dropped.Also that directly handing a friend a knife will cause them to fight."

Grimm looked like he was trying to process everything Yuu said just now.When his brain is lagging and he didn't really understand much of it at all.

"Jeez,you sure do have a lot of superstitions.The one about a man arriving seems really creepy though"

The being shuddered,getting the heebiejeebies of some guy coming.If it wasn't another random student,a teacher,staff member or the headmage himself he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

Yuu and [Y/N] chuckled,before nodding in agreement.To say there is a chance some unknown man will come by sends a shiver up their spine.

The three then continued to walk along.Yuu chatting with [Y/N],who forgot about the figure they saw in the distance a while ago.The thought was flooded by the subject of them and Yuu's conversation.

Another thing which they seemed to forgot about,was the oh so poor Savanaclaw student who was unfortunate enough to be thrown down a wishing well when they were passed out.

If [Y/N] was rude and ignorant,they wouldn't have felt satisfied and thought 'well deserved.' since he did push them into a pool and may have teased other student.But with their remaining dignity,sympathy and sanity,they still felt bad for him and his parents.

But that was another topic swept under the rug.Ever since the whole magestone and fairy gala problem came to be,people seemed to have forgotten about the deceased student.

The wishing well was the only thing stained,and it was now in fact cleaned out.The body taken out,the ones in charge of cleaning the crime scene did an amazing job at making it spotless and seem like nothing ever happened.Although,the bottom wasn't cleaned very much,since it is a really deep well.

Anyways,lets not talk about that too much,its not that important now.

Classes were put to hiatus for a while,since the temperature was driving a lot of students and others crazy.Some were doing homework and projects,some were slacking off and taking rest.While some,were strolling around,bored.

The trio saw the major changed in weather whenever they moved locations.From the burning hot temperature at Ramshackle,to the winter cold air at the random rooms in the main building.

Night Ravens campus is really big,sure,but when your bored and speed walking through the entire place,it isn't that hard to walk through and see every nook and cranny there.

"wait,that's it?"

[Y/N] looked around to realize they were back at Ramshackle.Grimm shrugged and Yuu sighed,wiping the sweat forming on their forehead because of the heat.

"To be completely honest,This place is huge but easy to explore when you go here every day"

Grimm's high pitched voice rang through the ramshackle buildings lounge.Yuu and [Y/N] nodded in agreement.

The three sat down in silence until they snapped and got really bored to the point they agreed splitting up and doing whatever they want while waiting for Crowley to call Yuu for the fairy gala thing.

Apparently,Crowley called for Yuu just as Yuu was about to go.Them leaving the dorm with an annoyed frown plastered onto their face.

Grimm came along too,leaving [Y/N] all alone.

They were kind of starting to regret the idea of not tagging along as well.But then again,they surely did not want to have another burden because of some random event again.

A sigh leaving their lips,they took out their phone,opening their messages.Their wasn't a single notification.Not even one from Neige.

At this point,they were kind of starting to get concerned.Neige has gone quiet.Too quiet.

He can't be that busy to not text [Y/N] atleast once in weeks.Well,he has before but still.

With their built up confidence,they started typing a message.When they finished,they reread it over,and over again.Then finally hit send.It took a while for the message to actually be delivered but it wasn't too long.

And it didn't take long at all for him to seen it and to reply.
