Next place we looked was the classroom. Nobody was in there.
"Okay." Sig notes as his looks through the desks. He didn't seem to find anything.
Well, he found a beetle by the window. He caught it and put it in his waist bag.
I looked by the sink. I didn't see anything.
I pulled out some of the books in our mini-library. Didn't see it there.
"Don't see anything here." Sig says.
"Neither do I." I respond.
We walk back out into the hallway. Sig and I walk a little further.
We come to one of the spare rooms that no-one really uses. Sig walks right in. I follow him.
Sig looks through the sides of the window.
"Sig, I don't think the spirit would be by the window." I note.
Sig looks back at me.
"What spirit? I was looking for bugs." Sig says.
I sigh. Sig looks around the window again.
"So this whole time, you only were searching for bugs?" I asked, with a slightly annoyed tone.
"No." Sig responded, "Just in this room."
I sigh. Sig finally stops looking near the window. He goes over to the chalkboard.
I look behind some of those moveable shelves. Nope.
Sig and I walked out of the room and back into the hallway.
We then come to the side entrance of the school. Sig puts his ladybug in his waist bag. We then walk out.
I was cold outside. I think we were supposed to get snow soon. I shiver and rub my arms.
"It's cold out. I should've brought my coat." I shiver.
"You stay inside then." Sig notes, "I'll look for it."
I nod. I walk back inside. I watch Sig from the door's window.
Sig looks around for about 20 seconds. Then he comes back inside.
"Warm in here." Sig notes, "Didn't see it."
He takes the ladybug out and puts it back on his head.
"Okay then." I note, "Let's go back to the library then."
We walk all the way back to the library.
Sig's right eye was now about half red. A little bit of blue showed still. That really concerns me. Did one of us accidentally spill another potion on him or something?
We then arrived at the library. I briefly look around the library. Raffina and Klug aren't back yet.
"Guess, we got back before Waffina-" Sig shook his head, "-Raffina and Glasses." He put more emphasis on the "R" again.
Speaking of the two of them, Raffina and Klug come back into the library.
"Did you find it?" I ask.
"No." Klug responds, "We were gonna ask you."
"But you don't know where it is either." Raffina notes.
"We don't." Sig notes.
"Well, what do we do now?" I ask.
Klug shrugs, "Not sure."
"Is this in a book?" Sig asks.
"Okay, well, for starters, what would we even look up?" Klug asked.
Sig shrugs, "I dunno."
"How about we look up on how to locate a demon?" I suggest.
"I don't think that would help." Raffina notes, "For all we know, the demon could be out of town."
"True." Klug nods.
We all pause for a minute. Klug opens his book that was sitting on the table.
"What are you doing?" Raffina asks.
"Maybe there is something in my book on how to find the demon." Klug responds.
I shrug, "Couldn't hurt."
Klug flips through his book.
"Any other ideas?" I ask.
Sig and Raffina shake their heads.
I noticed that the very tips of Sig's hair seem to be turning purple. His eye is now more or less three quarters red. Maybe it's the lighting.
"Sig, by chance have you gotten a potion spilled on you recently?" I ask.
Raffina and Klug look up and over at Sig.
Sig shrugs, "Not that I can remember."
"Are you sure?" Klug asked, tilting his head.
Sig nodded, "Yeah."
Klug sighed.
"Well, there's nothing in this book." Klug notes, shutting his book.
Raffina sighs, "A dead end mystery."
We all pause for a minute.
"We could all sleep on it. Maybe we'll think of something in the morning." I suggest.
"Ah, yes." Klug holds up a finger, "Sleep never hurts anything."
"Well-" Raffina starts.
"Please don't think of anything that goes against my point." Klug mumbles.
"Well, I'm going home." Sig starts to walk out of the library, "See ya."
We all wave back.
