Klug hands back the ladybug. I put the bug on my shoulder.

"This is bad." Klug pushes up his glasses by the bridge, "Very bad."

Raffina looks at Klug in dismay.

"That's obvious." Raffina sighs.

Klug looks at Raffina in dismay.

"Well, what do we do?" I asked.

I was wanting to cry. But I kept it back.

Klug shrugs, "That's the problem. Did he tell you where he was going?"

"No." I shook my head.

Raffina sighs.

"But he ran off that way." I pointed to my left.

There was a hallway, leading to another entrance in the building.

"Well, we could start over there." Klug suggested.

"Wait-" Raffina paused, "Feli was still back in the classroom. Maybe she'll know something."

Klug got tense for a moment.

"Oh yeah, you're scared of her." Raffina notes, "Well, too bad."

She walks off. I follow Raffina. Klug trudges along with us.

We walk back into the classroom. Feli was there doodling something.

"Hey Feli." Raffina greets.

"I already know what you are here for." She notes in her mysterious tone. She kept on doodling whatever in her notebook.

"Okay then." Raffina notes.

Feli stands up and trusts her divination rods out.

"Meep!" Klug hides behind Raffina.

"Scaredy cat." Raffina whispers to herself.

"The...red….and….the...blue….shall….become…..one." She pauses, "Its... intentions….are... unknown."

Well, that was anticlimactic.

"Wait-" Feli notes.

Or not.

"It...wants….to….destroy….others'…. lives….like….they…. destroyed…..its." Feli stops.

She blinks for a bit, the lets her arm drop to her side.

"The stars have spoken." Feli notes. She then walks away.

Klug come out from behind Raffina.

"You couldn't have survived 20 seconds?" Raffina asks in a annoyed tone.

Klug looks at her in dismay.

"So, we have a motive, but not a location." I grab the ladybug and let it sit in my hands.

Klug sighs, "Back to Amitie's idea."

I put the ladybug back on my shoulder. We start to walk out.

"Wait." I stop.

Klug and Raffina stop as well.

"What is it?" Raffina asks me.

"It's cold outside, and we have a ladybug." I note.

Klug and Raffina look at Sig's bug.

"Oh yeah, that's right." Klug sighs.

Raffina opens her pouch.

"We could put it in here." Raffina suggests.

I walk over and look into Raffina's pouch. It's small, and has a couple of things in there, but it could fit a bug.

I grab the ladybug from my shoulder again and place my hand near the pouch. The ladybug willingly crawls in. Raffina shuts her pouch.

We then head down the hallway, to where we were previously, and walked to the door. We walked out the door.

"It is cold." Klug notes.

We all shiver. Raffina shivers the least out of all of us.

"Well, we better get going then." Raffina says.

Raffina starts walking. We follow her.

"Any ideas where to look?" She asks.

"He went to the ruins last time." I noted.

Klug looks at me, "That's a bit of a hike."

"Not really." Raffina notes, "Its not too far from the magic school."

"I thought it was farther." Klug notes, "Oh well."

We turn around and start walking towards the ruins.
