Fragments of Harmony [Book 1!]

/./Chapter 6/./Doroteya Khaos/.

"We all may have a moment of silence for our fallen student, Yuna Blaire. She was a dedicated, hardworking, and admirable accomplice here at Krosonia High School. As Ms.Stella's apprentice and assistant, Yuna was a skilled medic. She will not be forgotten," Mrs.Ellens the headmistress, boomed. A huge gathering of the whole school was held in honor of the death of Yuna. Doroteya didn't know of any deaths in the whole existence of the school ever. The moment word of it got out, panic, overwhelming caution, and disorientation was beginning to be a normal thing in Krosonia High School. The librarian, Mr.Loomas had shut down the underground library and had reached out for a month-long break.

He said something about coming back when 'everything was safer'. But I don't get it... it's already safe enough, right? Classes are now online from our dorm rooms which is a three minute walk to the school's actual real classrooms. It can't get safer than that. Lots of things changed, like how Battle and Archery class was postponed until 'further notice'. Magic and Potions class was much more boring, history and math were so boring they could kill, writing was faster though, since typing on computer just required a click.

Doroteya couldn't help but stare at the white and red coffin in front of her. Who makes a coffin red and white anyways? Red and white or not, there was still a dead Yuna inside. Respect for the dead was needed. Mrs.Ellens had instructed everybody to say a few words of thanks or goodbye to Yuna at her burial box, and had made a long, long, long line of students lining up to do so. Doroteya was around at the end of the line. The coffin was on the battle platform by the Fountain of Frieden, the fountain symbolizing eternal peace. Doroteya honestly didn't know what to feel about this situation. She was not sad, nor scared, nor worried at all. But that didn't mean that she was happy either. Melanie was a few people in front of her, talking with her friend group. If it was her that replaced Yuna, yes. I would be so happy I could do a quadruple flip.

"Who do you think killed Yuna? I heard from somebody in the hallways that a guy named Asher and a girl named Vienna was there when she died. Jordan too, everyone knows her," Harumi whispered. Well, it wasn't exactly a whisper since Doroteya could hear it. If they talked quieter, she would have been out of earshot to hear anything, but that wasn't the case so she decided to eavesdrop. What else could she do while waiting in line? Pick the lint from out of someone's pockets? "I think it was the guy called Asher... I heard that he could disconnect his body parts, gross! It would be perfect for an ambush since he could just disconnect one of his hands or something, and kill Yuna without anybody noticing him! His hand would be too small to be noticed, so that's my theory," Harumi continued. "I can see your reasoning, Harumi, but I think it was Jordan. Jordan is good with arrows, right? And that's how Yuna died," Melanie said matter-of-factly. And I think it was... you guys should go stick some books up your asses. Jordan is innocent! I just know she is. Doroteya still chose to eavesdrop some more though, since then again, there were absolutely zip things to do.

"Guys, guys! I think you are both wrong. What if it was Vienna? She can grant wishes or something I think. I asked her about it once and she said that she could also grant her own wishes a few times... So what if she wished for Yuna to die since she wanted to take her place or something? Just an idea. She also told me that she found healing a bit interesting," Kei objected. Vienna is innocent, as far as I know. Any one of Jordan's friends are my friends automatically. Asher too. Even though I haven't met them yet, I feel like they are going to be awesome. The three girls kept on fighting over who had killed Yuna as Doroteya just rolled her eyes.

Let's just get this over with. I just want all of this to be a dream, but I know it isn't. Please let this be over quick, and for everybody to pretend none of this ever happened. Doroteya's phone buzzed loudly in her pocket. She gritted her teeth, stepping out of line and walking towards a nearby tree. What is it? She took it out, a notification for a missed call a few seconds ago showing on the bright screen. It was from Irina Khaos, her mother. Doroteya heaved a disappointed sigh, calling her back. The last person she needed to talk to right now was her mother. Ring ring ring, ring ring ring!
