[21] The Search

"Miss Y/N? Are you home?" a Raven haired woman knocked at the small apartment door with worry. She had been knocking on the door for ten minutes straight. It was unusual, since Y/N said she'd probably be home on the weekends most of the time. The woman brought her knuckles up to the wooden door and pounded again. "Hello!? Y/N are you here?" She asked again, nervousness lacing every word she spoke.

Erika sighed with hopelessness. She was tired of waiting around, since she wanted to get to know Y/N better today before work starts, though it was only Sunday, she wanted to hang out with her new friend. Erika's hand grasped the brass knob and tried twisting it, only in her disappointment to find out that it was locked. She stared at it for a while before reaching into her purse for a bobby pin. Erika has seen enough movies to know what to do. She knew breaking into someone's house was very illegal, but she had the shaking feeling that something wasn't right.

Erika's pale hands grasped the pin and she pulled out the small object, looking left and right, trying not to look suspicious before inserting the pin into the lock. Having a passion for mystery movies, she unlocked it with ease, a sigh escaping her lips in relief. She, again grabbed the door knob, swiftly opening it and going inside. Her eyes darted around the living room and some of the kitchen nearby.

"Emi? Y/N!?" Erika shouted, running to one of the rooms first to check. Empty. The other one? Empty. Erika sighed at her over dramatic tendencies. Maybe nobody was home and they were out with Ivan or someone else. She decided to take a seat on the couch and just text Y/N instead.

Coffee Bean: Heya Y/N! Do you wanna hang out? :D

Erika waited a bit, she was concerned though. Y/N responds fairly quickly. 'I may be overreacting, but I think something is up...' Erika thought, placing her palm on her cheek. She might as well leave before she intrudes anymore. The black haired girl got up steadily and headed over to the door, opening it again only to be ironically faced with a person she had hoped not to see.

"E-Erika!? What the actual fuck are you doing here!?" The woman across from her shouted in fear, jumping back a bit while holding onto the groceries in her hands tightly with a pure expression of shock. Fear stoke both of the women now. Erika placed hands infront of her in defense. "I-I didn't rob you g-guys! I was going to hang out w-with Y/N and she did not open the door. I-I had a bad feeling so I searched and she wasn't here-" Erika tried to explain before being interrupted by the girl in front of her.

"W-What do you mean she's NOT here!? She was here before I left! She usually texts me if she's out this long! Where is she!?" Emi panted in anxiety, running in and placing the groceries on the counter, before swiftly sorting them in their designated spots. Emi quite literally dashed over to the couch and grabbed her phone.

"We HAVE to call Ivan. If he finds out some other way that Y/N has gone missing, he's gonna flip his shit!" She shouted, anxiety clear in her voice, while Erika just nodded, plans were automatically spinning in the Raven-ette's head. She tried thinking of solutions while her brunette friend dialed Ivan quickly. Erika winced internally, thinking about how Ivan might take this news of Y/N potentially going missing. She heard the phone click, meaning he picked up. All hell was going to let loose when Emi explained.

"WHAT!? If this is a joke I am going to absolutely kill you Emi. Slowly and painfully-" Erika heard Ivan yell from the other end. Emi jumped slightly at his tone, while tears threatened to fall from her black eyes. After letting out a few sniffles, she claimed it wasn't a joke and that Erika was with her. Erika confirmed the news about Y/N when Ivan's tone seemed to soften into a sympathetic one at the sound Emi's sniffling.

"O-Oh no...I-I am sorry Emi...I went too far, da? I am sorry, I just love her..." Ivan said softly, but still loud enough for the two girls to hear on speaker phone. Emi wiped her eyes before grinning and trying to sound normal. "I-It's fine! I understand how you feel, trust me. My best friend is missing so of course I'd be scared too. But we need you to come over now! Please! We need to find Y/N!" At that plea, the phone hung up quickly, and in a few minutes, there was a knocking at the door. Erika rushed to open the pounding door, to be met with a panting Ivan, gripping his knees in exhaustion.
