RED (Dianakko)

Bo and her crew finally arrived to the demon lords hideout, a nice mansion size house, Bo knocking on her lords office room door, before walking in, as a gorgeous man stands up at the sight of his guest, "ah Bo, it's finally good to see you, I was afraid you would've gone mad trying have a child," he said, making his way around his desk, perching himself there.
"Hmm, luckily that hasn't occurred, and I am planning on bringing her with me, of course if...that's okay with you," Bo said cautiously.
"Of course you can bring your child, I know how hard you worked to get her, just make sure she doesn't cause trouble, but let's discuss something else," he said, showing a toothy grin.
"Of course my lord, what did you want to discuss first?" Bo asked, giving a mischievous smile,
"We have a small problem with Gilioo, he's been more cocky lately, and it's pissing me off, he's trying to overthrow me," he laughed, taking his seat again, "and I want you take care of him and his crew, let others know that I'm to be taking very seriously and that I don't like traitors,"he said, pouring another glass of whisky and downing it.
After that, Bo left his office, a plan in mind as she beckoned her nephews to follow her, "Briggs I want you to find Akko and bring her to me, and Zack I need to get some intel on Gilioo," she said, turning to face them, giving them hugs before letting them go off to do their task.
And with that she went to find her room to rest for the remainder of the night, too tired to think about anything else, but the excitement of what's to come persisted to her dreams.

Chariot was completely devastated at the news that she was dealt with, not only did that woman that tortured her student, Akko is nowhere to be found, she just vanished in the middle of night, with no note or any sign of a struggle either, and that made the fear worse, specially now having to deal with broken hearted students, specially her friends and sister, and Chariot didn't have the patience to wait for the investigators to find her, so she decided to visit Croix and ask for her help with finding Akko.
Of course it didn't take long for her to arrive at the place the magic ministry placed Croix in, knocking hurriedly on the door, waiting impatient for someone to answer the door.
"I'm coming, I'm coming, what the he- oh hey Chariot, what are you doing here?" she asked, looking confused at the other woman.
"I need your help, Akko went missing again," Chariot said, walking inside the small but comfy hut.
"Shiiiit, are they the same people as last  time?" Croix asked, her face contorting in concern at the devastating news.
"I'm pretty sure, cause that woman named Bo also escaped the same night Akko went missing," Chariot explained, sitting down on the couch.
"I see, I'm going to need something from Akko's, I've been developing a new machine to track down things like plants," she said, handing a cup of tea to Chariot.
"I'm surprised the ministry still allows you to build your machines, but I can definitely get something," she said, smiling slightly at her friend.
"I agreed to build things for them as long as it's in regulation and stuff that's too much to think about," Croix said, taking a seat next to her, their arms brushing softly.
"So how long will you be staying tonight?" Croix asked, hoping for her answer the whole night.
"Just for an hour or two, I want to catch up a bit," she said, sipping her tea, feeling the nice warmth going down her throat.
"Sounds nice," Croix said, slightly disappointed, but was still happy to be able to talk to someone again.

Lotte was taking it really hard, blaming herself for not asking if Akko was okay more or to simply be there for her friend, she felt like she failed her, that she abandoned Akko, but Sucy wasn't haven't it, finally stopping whatever experiment she was conducting.
"Lotte it's not your fault, it's no one's fault, we'll find her, we did it the last time, we can certainly do it again," Sucy said softly, trying her hardest not to say anything sarcastic, "I miss her too, despise her being back for couple of weeks, she's been distant and not all the way there, that's why we  have to suck it up and find her, and help her find herself again," Sucy admitted, looking down at her lap before grabbing a hold of Lotte's hand, giving her a soft squeeze.
"You're right, we have to be strong for her," she sniffed, brushing tears of her face, giving Sucy a tiny smile, thanking her.
"Come on, lefts get  some air, we need it," Sucy suggested, standing up from the bed, Lotte doing the same as they walk out the door and into the hall, walking in comfortable silence as they make their way to the courtyard, as they both sat on one of the benches, watching other witches talking and going about their day.
Soon the green team joined them, all of them talking, laughing, and praying to nine olde witches to keep Akko safe till they find her and stop whatever evil is heading their way.
But with Diana, she now knows that Akko is going to need more than the help of nine olde witches, specially with what she just found out what Akko might be, and now she's filled with concern and fear as she ran to Headmistress Holbrooke's office, of course knocking on the door before going inside.
"Ah Ms. Cavendish, how can you help you this afternoon," Holbrooke said, taking her eyes away from the papers on her desk.
"I need to tell you something. Before Akko went missing, she told me some things that were concerning, and as well her personality as of late," she said, taking a deep breath before going into depth of the things that were happening, including when Akko attacked her.
"I know I  should've said something, but I didn't want to make Akko afraid," Diana said, feeling ashamed at her own feelings, blaming herself for Akko not getting the help she truly needed because she loved her.
"Its okay Diana, I know you only wanted the best for Ms. Kagari, so tell me, what's your theory on what's happening to her," Holbrooke reassured the young witch.
"I think she might be becoming a demonic entity of some sorts, but I can't be sure, but there is a ritual that demons can perform to make a  very powerful being, but the ritual itself is extremely difficulty and doesn't have a high success rate," Diana explained what she found out in the books she borrowed.
"Hmm, this definitely something  to look into, a few weeks ago I visited the woman who kidnapped Ms. Kagari, she said that she's no longer human, this might be what she's referring too, and if it's true of what she says, then things are not looking good," Holbrooke sighed, feeling the pressure weighing down heavily.
"But for now, we have a team looking for Akko, then we'll go from there, so please get some rest Diana, she'll want you to be in full health when we get her back safely," she continued, giving her a strained smile as Diana nodded reluctantly and left the office, finally heading to her room to look more into the her theory.
