Shattered World

Chapter 4- Always the Same

It's hard to see in the place. I wonder what time is it? I take out my phone. "What the?!" It's already 9 o'clock...

I didn't think I would be here for that many hours...

I guess this place really gets me thinking a lot...

No wonder Funneh really likes this place..

I should probably head back before Gold calls another search party..Especially after Funneh's death...Sneaking in the shadows of the trees, I made my way back to the castle's back entrance. Slowly opening the door and creeping in, I walked up to the grand stairs. Surely enough Gold and Rainbow were there. I'm screwed aren't I?

"Draco! There you are! I thought you were disappearing on me too." Gold said anxiously.

"I'm fine Gold. I just went for a walk." I said.

"A walk?! You were missing for hours! I was about to get a search party!" Gold said slightly louder.

"Sorry Gold. I'll let you know next time." I said calmly.

"Fine. I guess that's alright..." Gold said before walking down the stairs to the dinning room.

"You handled that situation differently then expected..." Rainbow said looking at me.

"I did. Normally, I would've probably screamed or yelled or something...But with everything going on, I know how stressed she is...I don't want to be a burden." I said to Rainbow.

"Aw. Is my baby brother growing up already?" Rainbow said.

"H-hey! I'm a teen now. I know what's best at certain times." I said with a huff.

"Whatever you say lil bro..I'll see you at the dinning room. Could you try to get Lunar out of her room? She won't listen to me. And I haven't seen Kat either." Rainbow said.

"Uh..yeah sure." I said leaving in the direction of the upstairs. I stood in front of Lunar's door. Knocking, I said, "Hey Lunar? Dinner is almost ready. Could you come out?" I said. There was no answer, but Lunar does that a lot. As kids, she would pretend she isn't in the room and hide behind her bed...so that means her door is probably unlocked.

"Welp. Ready or not, here I come!" I said stepping into her room. As usual. She isn't anywhere in sight. I moved a little closer to her bed. And of course, there she is, hiding on the floor next to her bed.

"Fine. I'll come out. Why did Rainbow had to send you out of all people." Lunar said huffing.

"Because she knows that I will probably find you." I said.

"C-can you just tell her I don't feel like eating?" Lunar said turning away from me.

"Absolutely not. You think I'm about to let you off starving yourself?!" I said.

Lunar of course, didn't say anything.

"Hey. I know it's hard..but...life goes on Lunar." I said.

"How can you say that so easily." Lunar said finally breaking into tears.

"How can you so easily go past someone's death. Even worse, your sister's death...It's hard.."Lunar said.

"It's hard. But do you think Funneh sacrificed herself for you to sit in the corner and sulk? She wouldn't want you like this. And neither do we." I said.

"F-fine...I'll be down in a bit..." Lunar said.

I walked out of the room and closed the door. Lunar is going to be like that for a while. Now where could Kat be...maybe Funneh's room. Though I really wish to not be in there right now, I have to find Kat. She is Funneh...just from a different time paradox or something. Who knows what student things she'll do? Funneh's room was right next to mine-ish. I walked over to her room and see the door is creaked open a bit. Peaking in, I see Kat. But she had a glare of magic in her hands.
