chapter 10: Callisto takes things in her own paws
It were Maka and Crona who caused the sound. Kid and Callisto felt a little releaved. For a second they thought that the witch has came back. Crona and Maka were also glad that they ran into Kid and Callisto. Appearantly, the theory about the investigation turns out to be true. They really did come back to the same forest:
-"Hey,Kid!"-Maka was the first one who spoke-"What are you two doing here? Crona supposed that you would be investigating what happened yesterday."
-"That is correct, Maka"-he looks at Maka and then his glare swifts to Crona-"and Crona."
After hearing that, Crona blushed a little. She felt kind of flattered or maybe excited that she successfully guessed what was happening. In her eyes, it looked like she showed that she knew Kid quite well and that this increases her chances with him. Everybody, but Kid, noticed her reaction. Callisto, pretty much knew what was going on inside Crona's head. It was obvious that the pink-haired one was into her master. She smiled in a sly and a "know-it-all-like" manner.
Shortly after that, the three teenagers started discussing their theories. Like before, Maka was first:
-"So did you manage to find anything? Any clues? Proof?"
-"Unfortunately, no. We could not find anything at all, but we think that there definetely was a witch here yesterday. The fact that she ran away, after hearing that we have sensed her, cannot be just a coincidence. After all, we were a group of DWMA students and a nine-tailed fox. I am sure that we would look like a nice prey in the eyes of a witch. Or a kishin egg, at least?"
-"This could be true. Even without any actual evidence, this forest is not much safe anymore. What if one day she returns?"
While the three teenagers were discussing the dangers of the forest and of a potential stalker, Callisto was just looking at them without paying much attention to what they were saying. For some reason she did not find the view to be pleasant- Maka, Crona and especially Kid all seemed very worried. She disliked seeing them in this light. She thought about a way to cheer them up. She thought, and she thought, and then it hit her-a few metres ahead, there was a beautiful waterfall that was surrounded by gorgeous wildlife. She always went there for comfort when she was a bit younger. She thought that may be it will make her friends better. It would worth, at least to try.
She gave a short barked to attract their attention. At first, they did not hear her and when she gave two more barks, they finally looked at her. She kept barking and started to run in the waterfall's direction. She immediately stopped, she turned her head towards them and barked again. The meisters were wondering what she was trying to tell them, but they followed her.
