Hey people/readers here's next chapter that you might or might not have waited for, but i know who did wait for a new chapter. *wink* *wink*. Anyways enjoy!

Chapter 14: Day Off.

I awoke in a quite room. I looked at the time and my eyes widened i was late. I turned towards Amelia's bad and saw her still sleeping peacefully. I didn't allow the scene to take over and jumped off the bed.

"Amelia wake up we are late!" She didn't move an inch i tried again, but these time i was pushing her shoulders. "Amelia i said wake up, we are late for class!" "Mmmmhhhmm." Then her eyes were opening slowly.

"Scarlet? What are you doing?" "We are late for class wake up." "What? It's Saturday, it's day off." When she said that she closed her eyes and went back to sleep. I let her go and went to my own bed and lay down i started to close my eyes when i heard a tap on my window.

*Tap*

I wanted to sleep but there again was another tap.

*Tap*

I got annoyed and stood back up. I went to the window to investigate, when i reached the window i saw an owl, carbuncle who woke up from my shouting started to squeal in excitement when saw the owl that was on the window.

"Squeal!" It flew towards the owl when i suddenly heard Klaus voice saying to carbuncle not to get too close. I looked at the owl again, but it was sitting not making any move to fly away. Carbuncle seemed equally shocked, but decided to ignore it and tried to approach it again.

"Scarlet please tell that carbuncle to stop." I jumped back from the window as i hear Klaus voice come from the owl. "What's the matter with you never heard of familiars?" I didn't have anything to say about that of course i know about familiars i have one right in front of my face.

I couldn't see anything because carbuncle was clutching my face and blocking my vision. While i was trying to get the carbuncle off my face i could hear owl- no Klaus laugh at the scene unfolding in front of his eyes or his familiars eyes.

When i finally got carbuncle off my face i faced Klaus. "Klaus what are you doing here?" "I just come to see you." He's answer seemed little bit strange, but nice. "Couldn't you just wait outside?" "Knowing you you would sleep whole day without a care."

His words have truth in them and it made me kind of embarrassed. "N-no that's not true. Anyways that can't be a reason for you to show yourself in your familiars form." "I guess you saw right through me." "What!? Really?!"

He looked at me confused, before i realized what i said "I meant of course, i knew that, it's obvious knowing you." I smiled trying to not being suspicious. "So what did you want?" "You are going to find out when you are going to get to my office."

With that the owl took off, without me allowing asking anymore questions. *sigh* "Sometimes it's just hard with him." I started to get dressed, but this time i was dressing slowly Klaus can wait. With that i took my time making my hair, i tried various hairstyles but i settled on two ponytails.

I headed towards the door as quite as possible, not wanting to wake up Amelia. When i was out in the corridor i went down stairs to see see small amount of students having breakfast, not wanting to go out on empty stomach i went to put some food on my plate.

I ate in silence as there was no one to talk and Amelia's friends didn't seem to be here. After i finished I went out and headed towards the Academy. It seemed little bit different from before i could hear loud conversations about being found even more killed pigeons.

"Is he so despaired to do what they say?" "There is a big chance that he doesn't have any chose." "What do you mean?" "His from Hinamoto right? The country is far from Queens sight so it's a good place for them to hide and use people that won't get any help."

I thought about what she said, if it's true it means he is being used. "What will happen if he disobeys a command?" "Most likely they are going to kill one of his family members." "How do you know about them so much?" "I don't see how that goes into the question about Azusa?"

She seemed to be hiding something, but students where starting to turn to look at me. I ignored their stares and in fast pace tried to live the place. When i was getting further away i turned around to look behind me. Not watching where i was going i bumped into someone.

I started to apologize "I'm so sorry..." Until i saw who i bumped into, it was no other than Azusa himself. "Oh don't worry i should have seen you." I couldn't say anything. "Are you okay?" The question didn't reach my ears, i tried to listen to him but only thing that i did was study him, his every move.

Now knowing that he is at fault i could feel dark aura around him so obvious, yet hidden really well. "Scarlet? Are you listening?" I realized that he was probably talking to me. "Oh i'm sorry, i don't feel well can we talk later?" He looked at me confused but after studying me he smiled and give another bottle of Konpeito.

He asked if i didn't mind if takes me to the infirmary. "Oh um no i'm fine i can get there really fast." He started to get suspicious but let it go when i started to massage my head. "Well be careful." "I will." He passed me and for a second i thought that i felt his dark aura rise to grab me.

But it disappeared as fast as it showed. I didn't want to stay out alone any longer so this time i run.

I was standing in front of Prefects Office in empty corridor. My hurt still racing from the moments that unfolded just minutes ago. I raised my hand to knock when i heard voices inside. I put my ear to the door and listened the voice belonged to Elias and Klaus.

I couldn't make out even a single word, but i didn't want to eavesdrop anyways. I will just pretend that nothing happened. I knocked twice so they would clearly hear me. There was silence when i knocked after that Klaus voice said "Come in." I started to wonder why i could hear him when he said come in but couldn't hear he's conversation with Elias.

I opened the door all cheerful. "So did you want something Klaus?" I looked around the room and my eyes settled on Elias. "Oh Elias didn't see you there." I didn't listen to him and turned towards Klaus waiting answer for my question. "You did take your time." "I had some things to do." I smiled innocently.

"So did you both had an important conversation?" Klaus and Elias stayed silent but after couple of seconds Klaus started "No it wasn't important." I glanced at Elias it seemed that he got mad. "Brother i think it was quite serious conversion." Klaus looked at Elias.

"And what's so important about this conversation?" Klaus stared down Elias. I looked at Elias there was hurt written all over Elias face. I stared to hate myself for making this situation even worse so i tried to help him out. "What id the conversation in the first place?"

"He wants me to help him summon magical creatures that are stronger by physical and magical power than him." I thought over about possibilities. Elias might summon a creature that is at least the same magical power, but not by Physical.

"Elias you might summon a creature that is the same level of magic, but by physical i would tell you to stand down." I could feel their both eyes on me. "What? Did i say something?" "When did you become so smart?" "I always where so smart." Trained by the best.

"Why all of you think that i am useless?" He said that in weakly. "No one did say that you are useless." I looked at him seriously. Elias didn't seem to have anything to say so there was a silence for a while when Klaus started to talk. "Scarlet what is that in your hand?" When he asked me that question i looked at my hand to see Konpeito.

I completely forgot about this. "This is Konpeito." "Is it sweet?" I wanted to say yes but moments with Azusa were replaying in my mind it made me rethink "No." "Really i heard that konpeitos are sweet." "You heard wrong." "At least let me try."

I stiffened there was no way that i am going to give this to Klaus. I tried to think of something really fast. "Fast, bin smash the glass of the bottle." Her description wasn't best, but i got what she meant. I started scanning room for a bin, when my eyes settled on a small bin i run to it shocking Elias and Klaus.

It took me couple steps to reach it. I took off the lid that was covering the bottle and poured konpeito into the bin after that i smashed the glass of the bottle letting the glass fall onto the candy. The piece of glass that was still in my hand i throw it into the bin.

When i turned their faces were still shocked Elias looked little bit scared from Klaus, but shocked then i looked at Klaus he didn't look like anything but i could tell that he was shocked. "What was that Scarlet?" I was thinking what to say. "Well i didn't want you to eat salty konpeito."

He looked at me in disbelief as if i am talking nonsense. "What?" Elias seemed to get his composure and tried to get out of the room. "I-I am going to take your advise and gonna wait before summoning magical creatures." While talking he was taking a step back to the door, when reaching the door he exited.

I wanted to say something but i stopped before i made this situation even worst. Klaus was silent as if listening for something when he made sure that no one was listening in he turned towards me. "Scarlet what the hell is wrong?" He looked mad and it made me scared to think of a lie.

"N-Nothing wrong." I didn't try to sound cheerful or anything this time. He's gaze didn't falter and i averted my gaze and looked at my shoes instead. "If nothings wrong what was it all about?" His voice this time wasn't as harsh as moments before. Before the moment lasted i started to think of a lie.

But something struck me why won't i just say to him who is the pigeon killer? "If your thinking to tell him don't!" It sounded like a warning and it made me rethink. But as i didn't think of anything bad that could go downhill i started to tell him when Moonlight interrupted me again.

"What do you think will happen after you tell him the truth?" Her question was strange of course Azusa will be caught and everything will be done. "If you think that Azusa will be caught and everything will be done you are wrong think what will happen to people in his hometown."

Her words made sense if he fails than one of his family members will be killed. It made me start to think of a lie. "You know about the pigeon killings i am just on the nerve of not trusting people who i don't know." Even if i did a big pause before answering Klaus didn't shout that it is a clear lie.

"It does make sense." I heard chair screeching and foots steps coming closer. The footsteps stopped in front of me under my gaze i saw Klaus shoes. While watching he's shoes i felt warm hand touch my head. I stopped looking at my shoes and turned my gaze towards Klaus.

He was smiling a smile asking forgiveness. "I'm sorry Scarlet for shouting at you." He's apology made me hate myself after all i lied to him and here he is apologizing. "No it's fine i must say it was unexpected from my side." I smiled to reassure him that i am fine.

"Well i called you for a reason." Now he was smiling from happiness. I started to wonder why he is so happy. The first think that come up was him torturing me to learn a spell correctly, it didn't made me smile at all. My ideas were interrupted when i heard a door opening.

I looked at the door to see Klaus opening it. I looked at him questioningly. "Well follow me." With a smile he exited and i run after him. He led me to the exit. When we stepped outside he started to go to the Academy's exit. "Um Klaus where are we going?"

"When are we going to reach our destination then you are going to see." He seemed little bit too happy.

After a while we reached city there were a lot of students from Academy. Klaus seemed reluctant to reach the place and so he never stopped even when Luca kept bugging him. While walking i could see even that boy with mismatched eyes he seemed to keep staring at me even when i would watch him for couple of seconds.

We walked for more couple of minutes when we found ourselves in front of a small like restaurant for couples. It took me moments to realize that he took me on a date, it immediately made my hurt warm and fuzzy. It made me smile despite me trying to say i should get used to this things.

He motioned for me to come in with him. When i stepped inside i saw bunch of couples sitting at tables. In front of as come a lady and showed a sit where to sit. "What would you want Mr. Goldstein." It seemed that the girl already new Klaus I wonder why.

He asked for sundae while it took me a while to choose myself until i settled on really tasty looking cake. I didn't like the silence so i tried to make a small talk. "So Klaus do you want to play a game?" He looked at me confused but asked a question. "What game?"

"A game where i ask you a question and you need to answer and after you have answered you can ask me a question." I smiled mischievously. He seemed little bit reluctant to deny but thought it can be fun and said okay. "I will start than." I put my hand on my chin and pretended to think.

"Oh how about how many time's did you come to this place?" He seemed little bit embarrassed to answer but it seemed he is not going to give up to his feelings and answered. "Every time when i wanted something sweet. Know it's my turn." He's answer made me giggle.

"Well go on." "Do you have any special places that you like to go." "Well in Reitz i would love to go to free areas where is a lot of grass but know it's your office." My answer made him little bit confused in couple minutes or more he realized what i meant by know his office.

"Did you come alone?" "Alone where?" "Here." "Yes." I started to wonder why he would come alone but it wasn't interesting enough so i just listened to Klaus next question. "Do you know who is killing pigeons?" I know that he said that to keep the conversation going but it still made my heart race in fear.

I pretended to think. "Well i don't know many people and so far they all were nice to me so it's hard to imagine that they are the one's hurting poor animals." I kept a smile on my face even when i felt big fear creeping up my spine. Thankfully the dreadful moment was interrupted by a girl that brought as our food.

Without even thinking for an answer i stuffed my mouth full of cake. Klaus seemed to take time to eat his, but the ice cream seemed really tasty. I would glance up to look at him, he seemed deep in thought at the moment when i was looking at him he looked at me.

He smiled. "You now your weird." "W-Weird?!" He's sudden words took me by surprise. "Yes, every time when i think that your useless you show that your not and actually did something smart like today in the morning with Elias." He studied me? Just in 6 days he seems to know me but i'm pretty sure that i am not useless.

"Is that a compliment?" "Yes." Even if the complement was the worst it still made my heart warm.

After we were done with our date in the little restaurant we headed god knows where. "Klaus where are we going know?" "I don't know i thought that just walking is enough." "You know what?" I almost said what before i stopped myself. "Ha ha almost said it, but anyways it's your first date with your first boyfriend."

What she said made me little bit embarrassed how could i forget something like that? I glanced at Klaus he was walking silently i saw his eyes turn towards me and i averted my glance. I could hear him laugh to himself the laugh was really beautiful like an angles.

I looked at Klaus he was staring right at me with a smile. It become too embarrassing and i pretended that the stands were selling a lot of interesting things when i come to a really familiar looking mask. I stopped making Klaus confused. "Oh that mask." Does Moonlight know this mask? "It's one of my creations." That's why it's seems familiar.

"I only made one mask." I wanted to ask why only one? I turned toward Klaus and asked him. "Klaus what is this mask?" "That? It allows you take any persons look you can even change your voice if you are concentrating enough." Wow she can create thinks like that?

I looked at the seller "Do you sell this?" "No." "Really?" "Really." "So why are you here?" "To let people know that this mask exists." "Can i try it?" The mask sounded really cool from Klaus description. "Only if swear on your life that you are going to give it back after use."

He smiled to reassure me that he will kill me if i steal it. "I am going to give it back after use." I tried ti sound normal but who am i lying to there was worry on every word. The man laughed and give me the mask and explained how to use it. I put the mask on and thought of the person i wanted to turn into.

It was of course Klaus. Not long after i could feel my body change not in painful way it almost tickled. When i opened my eyes i looked identical to Klaus after finishing studying my new body i looked at Klaus he didn't look happy at all. "What? Can't you allow me have some fun?"

He still looked angry but soon after he breathed out and said fine. I looked around when i spotted Elias walking wit his head down. I started to walk towards him. When i was only 10 feet away from him he still didn't see me. I went closer to him, but before talking i tried to make Klaus voice.

When i got it perfectly i called out to Elias. "Hey Elias." "Arghh." Elias screamed for some reason. "K-Klaus? What are you doing?" "What me? Nothing just saying hi."Elias looked at me weird and i realized that Klaus never would be so cheerful out of no where.

"I uh i wanted to say that i would reconsider to help you summon magical creatures if you promise to stop reading your cursed books." "C-cursed books?" "Yes cursed books you read them as if they mean world to you and if you really want me to help you with magical creatures stop reading books and start doing something creative."

Elias still looked shocked, but soon started to look at the book that he was carrying and back to me as if deciding something. "W-Well i could try-" Before he could say any more i cut him off. "Great know go and join a club." I snatched his book away from him and run back the way i come.

I skipped back to Klaus already forgotten that i put his voice on. "Hey guess what?" "You idiot you weren't supposed to talk to him in his voice." When she said that i tried to live ficus of his voice. When i got back to my own i looked at Klaus and the Man, they were exchanging glances.

"I um did i say something?" "Girl? What's your name?" "It's Scarlet. Scarlet Raven." I didn't know if to smile or just look emotionless. The man went out of his stall and took both of my hands and smiled. "I was looking for years on of the elemental's." His words shocked me to the bone.

E-Elemental's?!" Worry was heard perfectly from my voice. "Yes." "Who are elemental's?" "You see this?" "A-Another mask i thought that only one was created." I wanted to face palm myself for being so stupid. "And how exactly did you know that there was only one mask?"

"W-Well i guessed?" With no ideas coming in i took most plain excuse. "Haha your not the best in lying right?" "N-no i'm really good." "You must be Time then." HOW DID HE KNOW?! "how did you know?" IDIOT IDIOT! "Know your not hiding anymore. "No no i meant to say where do.. you.. get this from?"

"No need to hide see this mask?" "Well yes." "This mask was created by an elemental just like the one your wearing right know. This masks might be identical by shape and color but they are used differently. Even if they are used differently elemental can use it all the same."

"Wow. So i can use it just like this one?" "You just stopped lying." I wanted to face palm myself. "Dammit." "Haha I should introduce myself." I took of the mask. "Well i don't have a proper name so just call me Ash. I am one of the elemental's messenger."

"With elemental?" "Light." "Light it means she or he is not given up on finding other elemental's." "She never gives up does she?" "Hmm no it's Light we are talking about." "Is light a female or male?" "Female." "Do a lot people ask you this question?" "Quite a lot."

I feared to turn towards Klaus so i kept talking to the strange man named Ash. "What does the Ash stand for?" "You mean my name?" I nodded. "It's stands for Ashes." "How many elemental's she has found?" "You and Darkness." "So me and darkness you mean Deadly Moonlight." "yes."

"Oh don't worry about her she's just fine." "I don't see how i am fine being stuck in a body that i can't use." "Ahaha *Whispering* Shut up! Ahaha. Well than Ash here's your mask and i am going to go." "Wait." "What?" "You can keep the mask." "Why?" "You clearly know Darkness so keep it."

"thank you." I turned to go when he said something. "You know if Darkness is alive the day will soon come." I gulped and grabbed Klaus hand who was intently listening to the conversation. "Well he's a mood breaker isn't he?" I took Klaus and me closer to the Academy.

"He said something about a coming day what is that day?" "It's downfall of Gedonelune." I told him truth not wanting to lie anymore." "Downfall? I don't think that will ever happen." He said that as if he actually believes that." "Do you really think that our little Queen can protect as?" My voice was shadowed by anger.

"Scarlet?" I wanted to shout at him but i didn't have time to. "I don't think that she can protect us, but that's why she got soldiers." "Soldiers that will die at the hands of our enemies." I din't want to burst out just yet. "Why are you so sure that we are even going to go into the war?"

"Because war already started." I started to walk away before i started to scream at him, i couldn't smile or pretend that i was happy. "Scarlet! Wait!" I heard Klaus call me, but i didn't stop and kept walking i new that he will caught up to me by running. And i was right i could hear he's footsteps not long after.

"Scarlet what's wrong?" "Nothings wrong." "I can see your upset what's the matter?" "that's the matter Klaus there's a small chance to win it." "Is pigeon killing involved in this war?" "Yes." I was too tired to think of a lie. "Do you know who is killing the pigeons?" "Yes." And i didn't start thinking a lie there.

"Whose killing pigeons?" "I can't tell you." "Why?" "Because i am trying to save lives here." "How helping the murderer is helping people?" "You will find out soon." With that i just wanted to go never turn back, but i turned last time to look at Klaus sad look of betrayal. It broke my hurt but i new that i was doing a good job.

I run to the dorm only place where Klaus can't enter without a proper reason. When i reached the dorm i run straight to my room to see Amelia reading a book. "Hey." "Oh hi how was your date wit hKlaus?" "H-How did you know." "Oh no need to hide everyone saw Klaus he looked like an excited child with you."

I started to get flustered but the moments before weren't still forgotten. "Well yes we did go out for a date." I didn't say anything more and lay down on the bed trying to forget everything. I fell asleep moments later.

{...}

I awoke 2 hours past curfew. I started to get up when carbuncle started to squeal. "Squeal!" "Shhh carbuncle you are going to wake up Amelia." "Squeal?" Now he went silent. I stared to dress myself. "I wonder why you can't understand carbuncles?" "Maybe they speak different language?"

"Do they speak different language?" "I don't know you are supposedly the smartest from both of us." "I'm sorry i just didn't have enough time to study animals." "Just makes me wonder what where you doing all your time?" "Trying to study enemies."

"Thought you never saw another after you got killed." "I didn't." I was already fully dressed and jumped down the balcony.

Klaus P.O.V

I was walking to Girls dormitory to talk to Scarlet she may be suspicious in my eyes but i completely don't think that she can be the one killing pigeons. I looked at Scarlet's balcony and saw her jump out it, there at the tip of her legs was black wind softening her land.

Could she really be the one after all she just did soften her landing using black magic. She started to run with carbuncle on her shoulder in biggest speed that i have ever seen. I started to run after her no matter how fast i tried to run i just couldn't out run her.

She headed towards the forbidden forest. When she reached the forest she didn't stop but kept running when she run into the forest there on her body showed something like a barrier on her whole body after that she disappeared into the darkness. I stopped at the edge of the forest.

I took out my wand and chanted a spell so i won't get lost in the woods. I started to run not daring to stop in case if i meet one of the creatures living in the forest. I started to see light at the end of the forest. When i run through it i saw a big tower.

I entered the tower the walls were from stone just like outside and cold. And only think that was decorating it were lonely stairs. I started to go up the stairs. Moments later i still was running up the stairs and still not seeing the end of it. I tried to run faster knowing that there is no way i could run any faster.

When i reached the top i tried to take in as much air as possible without making a lot of noice. I start to get second thoughts about her being here. When i was perfectly fine just tired i looked around there beside the door was standing Chimera peacefully sleeping.

With Scarlet.

When i reached the top there was something different about the last time. There standing in the front of the door was a 3 headed creature staring at me intently. I wanted to turn back when Moonlight had other ideas. "Don't Chimera isn't gonna hurt you."

I still had my doubts so thought about pros and cons. I ended up with Moonlight won't kill me so i started to approach these so called 'chimera'. "Good boy, god boy." Mostly i was saying that to myself. when i was just couple steps away from the creature i out stretched my hand and slowly.

I touched the creatures nose it still didn't move so i started to pet him. After a while he started to react to my touch in a good way. When i stopped petting him i turned towards the door t was closed. I tried multiple methods to open it, but nothing worked. I started to go back when i heard someone sing when i turned i saw carbuncle singing.

It was a beautiful song almost like a lullaby. But i didn't how much time to listen to it as the door started to open when it fully opened carbuncle stopped singing i went inside and Chimera as if being curious followed i closed the door but not fully little bit scared that i am going to lock myself in.

Back to Klaus.

I peeked through the gap. Looking around i saw carbuncle and chimera both playing. I whispered to myself. "What's going on? Wasn't chimera supposed to attack anyone who enters the tower?" I started to scan the room for Scarlet. It didn't take long when my eyes well eye fell on her.

Scarlet was laying on the floor face to face with the Dragon of Time. She started to talk. "You know laying down here like this is nice, but grass still is better." I started to scan the room for someone, anyone but there was no one except Scarlet as a human being.

She started to talk again. "Klaus is now suspecting me of killing pigeons, isn't he?" On the last two words her voice broke and i could hear her quite sobs. I wanted to run to her ask what's wrong and calm her down, but i know that running know is dangerous.

Soon carbuncle and chimera stopped and looked at Scarlet worried carbuncle went towards Scarlet and Squealed in question. "Squeal?" "It's okay carbuncle i'm fine." Her voice was shaky. Chimera went up to her and with it's nose touched her hand. She started petting it.

"I heard that chimeras aren't nice to human being, you seem to be really nice." At least she knows that it's a chimera not a random wild animal. "I want to tell Klaus truth." "Well i could ask him not to tell anyone." "he seems like one to keep a promise."

She was talking about me. Before i could think any more she suddenly sit up and it made me jump. I didn't risk to eavesdrop any longer and i run before she could find out i was there.

Scarlet's P.O.V

I sat up because i could feel someone staring at me, but the moment i sat up the feeling disappeared. Okay i am going to take that as i am going insane. I stood up and momentarily carbuncle set on my shoulder. I stared to head towards the door when i remembered something.

I turned and faced Dragon of Time. "Thanks for the company." For a second i could swear that the Dragon statue smiled at me. I ignored that as my imagination. Than i turned towards chimera. "Thank you too for the company and not eating me." I smiled warmly.

Chimera went ahead of me as if guiding to the exit. I followed it. Chimera went to the stairs and stopped beside it as if by standing there it will protect me. I went to the stairs before i went down them i petted Chimera and thanked it again. Than i started to descend them.

"Elemental i am going to be here if you need more alone time." I stopped at the voice talking to me. It wasn't males voice but females. I turned towards the chimera. "Your a female?" "yes i am a female." "I was talking to you in male version, i'm sorry."

"Don't worry about that, you should hurry back to the Academy and get some sleep." "Yes i will do that." Happily i started to run down the stairs. And outside into the dark.
