Monday morning rolled around and Lexi found herself awake earlier than usual, her mind screaming at her to get to school. She had to find out if Yuri was okay. She hoped that her spell had worked and Yuri had actually gone home rather than potentially being kidnapped; although, she did have a list of suspects that could have somehow gotten to her. She quickly grabbed some breakfast and walked out the front door, making her way through the dense forest to college.

Once through the brush she went straight to her first lesson, the same one where her and Yuri had met for the first time. A frustrated groan escaped her lips when she opened the door to the classroom to see it entirely void of any student or the teacher. With a roll of her eyes, she settled with the fact that it was still early and decided to make her way to her usual seat in the back corner to wait.

Minutes felt like hours as she watched students slowly file in before the beginning of class. Her eyes worriedly flickered around the room searching for Yuri, hoping she may have just missed her walking in, since class was going to start any minute. Lexi shook her head when her search came up empty, burying herself in her books instead as a form of distraction from her thoughts.

Look alive. She heard Zuko say to her. She quickly looked up as the door opened and platinum blonde hair caught her vision.

Yuri walked into the classroom and quickly made her way to the empty seat next to Lexi.

Lexi smiled seeing that her friend was alive and definitely not kidnapped. She took a moment to study the girl now sitting next to her. A bandage still remained on her neck and it left Lexi wondering if she knew what had happened. She seemed tired and ragged as if she hadn't gotten any proper sleep during the weekend, which didn't make sense, since she slept the entire time she was at Lexi's house. Lexi looked down to see that Yuri was in an oversized tunic sweater and leggings, as if she couldn't bother to really put herself together. A frown soon replaced her features as she whispered to the girl, "Are you okay?"

Yuri grimaced, before putting on a forced smile and turned her head slightly to face Lexi, "Yeah, I'm fine," that was a lie; she still had a minor headache and she was exhausted. After the situation with Taehyung, she couldn't get her mind to quiet down much to be able to actually sleep. Her mind was full of questions and anxiety about what happened the night of the party, as well as, what exactly had happened with Taehyung.

Lexi furrowed her eyebrows at the answer, not truly believing it but, she wasn't going to pry further. Instead she decided to ask the question that had been on her mind since she saw her missing from the couch Saturday night, "Why did you leave Saturday?"

Yuri looked at Lexi, confusion laced her features. "What do you mean?" She questioned.

Lexi played with the pencil in her hands. "You left my house. I thought you got kidnapped or something, especially with what happened Friday night."

Yuri's confusion deepened at the statement the blue-eyed girl shared. Her mind was blank when it came to the party, well most of it at least, and the only thing she had as a clue to what happened were two healed holes found on her neck which only further confused her. "What happened Friday?" Yuri finally asked, hoping to finally get some answers to the question she couldn't get out of Taehyung before he left.

"Yong Lexi and Moon Yuri, quit talking during my class. If you want to converse, then get out and do it." The teacher yelled at the two girls. Lexi sighed softly before looking at Yuri, silently telling her they would talk after class.

Yuri nodded and the two quickly got to work.

As the two worked, the house of hunters was lively and working as well. Outside in the backyard, the three hunters were practicing like no tomorrow.
