I don't know what to write here. S get's a surprise at her house in MU!
I lied on Evelyn's kitchen floor and groaned. She was ranting about how she and EJ almost got caught by their latest victim's grandfather. Although he didn't get to close to finding them in my opinion.
Evelyn did mention Mikey and Viola (who`s still missing in action) so I had to have a feeling jams with her as well. It was nice and peaceful until she hugged me and offered to find his murderer and give me their head, to her taking their head would make up for shooting Mikey in the head.
For as long as I've know her, Evelyn has always meant well but her ideas and opinions on certain things like Way talking about his own death can get a bit disturbing. Even by my standards.
"I'm just saying he would be a lot happier with an octopus strangling him in his sleep. He dies by cuteness and by an octo." Evelyn has a thing for octopus.
That`s not even the worst of it. I left after she started talking about letting her pet octopus, Dream Crusher twist and break the machinery in Way's room to 'put him out of his misery'.
I spent the rest of the day drawing with Beacon and Lucy. Some drawings were for Way while others were just random, such as the space duck sketch, or for fun. They took their own art supplies and went to MU for a sleepover leaving me alone in the dining hall.
Grabbing my art supplies, I went back to my room and dropped my stuff on the floor in an unceremonious pile. I thought of the recent events and turned to my fox.
"Anima, do you ever wonder if the universe is plotting against you? Because that's exactly what's happening," I complained.
"That's doubtful, S." She replied, climbing off of my bed and trotting to my side. "How is Evelyn?"
"Eh."
"I see." Anima said and went back to her spot on my bed, she curled up like a cat and yawned. "And Way?"
"Could be better." I deadpanned. "I'm gonna try and get some sleep. G'night."
"Good night, S."
Trying to sleep turned out to be a bad idea because someone broke in and climbed through my window. The person jumped down from the windowsill and muttered something to themselves. I sat up from my bed with my pocket knife in front of me in a defensive position. I relaxed slightly when I saw it was just my twin.
"The fuck, Rain!?" I shouted. "Now I'm gonna have to fix that. Again!"
"Quiet. I have some not-so-happy news for you, sis." She said in an irritated tone. "You know, I could be doing something else right now, like causing mayhem of my own so just be grateful that I brought you the news."
"What happened now?" I groaned.
"Way died a few minutes ago. Died in his sleep apparently." Rain hummed. "We need to get to the hospital."
My eyes widened. Quickly, I threw on my panda-themed sweater and transported to the hospital's emergency entry with Rain.
Sprinting inside of the building, ignoring the feeling of déjà vu, I asked the receptionist about Way after Rain told us our relations with him.
"I'm sorry to inform you, but Mr. Way passed away twelve minutes ago." The green eyed male said. "He was taken to the hospital's morgue downstairs."
"Can someone take us there?" I asked, not knowing where the morgue was.
He nodded and called someone down. "Will you be making any funeral plans or...?"
"Our care taker, Roger will be taking Warren to a private cemetery once I call him." Rain explained, he nodded again.
Soon a doctor came and led Rain and I to the morgue. It was dimly lit and cold in the morgue, the doctor seemed a bit uncomfortable being in the presence of dead bodies as he showed us to Way.
The staff had already tagged him as number 22 with his fake ID and unfilled paperwork tacked to his body fridge.
"Can we get a minute or two alone?" Rain turned to the doctor, he slowly nodded and went to stand a few feet away, out of ear shot.
Rain sighed. "So each of the Lee siblings has passed." I nodded and out my hand on the body fridge containing my friend.
"I never did care for their sister -what was her name again, Safari, Sass? Yeah Sass- but it's a shame they're all dead now." I said. "Think Way's in MU?"
"Possibly. if Mikey has a chance being there then so does Way." Rain answered. "Although, I wouldn't count on it."
Then I won't.
We didn't stay long, Rain had to call Roger after all, the doctor -whose name was Steve- led us out of the hospital.
"Do you have your own phone or...?" He trailed off, Rain took out a cell phone and started dialing.
"We'll be fine, sir. Our guardian will be here shortly." She said, Rain pressed the phone to her ear and waved him away. The doctor retreated into the hospital.
"Hello Roger~!" Rain sang into the phone. I could hear him yelling into the receiver from where I stood (that was about a foot away from Rain).
"Who is this!? Do you have any idea what time it is!?"
Oh yeah. He's never talked to Rain before.
I took the phone from her and calmed the savage old man. I explained what happened to the best of my ability. Roger hung up after nagging me about calling him sooner and how we'll talk about this later. Later, he pulled up in one of the limos, walked past Rain and I and went inside, hopefully to get the forms.
The drive back to Wammy's was silent and uncomfortable. After insisting that we could handle it, Roger had Way -still in his body fridge- moved to the trunk. Once we arrived at Wammy's he ran to find more workers to help him bury the fallen Way. He sent Rain and I back to my room.
"S, move. Please just find an apartment or move in with Evelyn. Roger's an ass." Rain complained, she picked up my lava lamp and shook it. "She doesn't have a roommate, does she?"
"Yeah the tattoo artist Amy. And there is no way I'm going to move in with Evelyn, not unless someone else dies or is Wammy's House burns down!" I decreed. Watching Rain mess around with my lava lamp got boring after a while so I decided to leave and go to MU.
"S! Wait up, sis~!"
And of course I was followed.
I ignored her and went to our shared bedroom. I was tired and needed to sleep off Way's passing. Also, I had to mentally prepare myself to tell my friends. Before Rain made it up the stairs to join me, I was already in an dreamless sleep.
"Aunty S... Aunty S? ...Aunty S!" I was shoved roughly off of my bed where I hissed at the cold floor and struggled to get out of my blanket cocoon.
"S, get off of the floor." Rain ordered in a bored tone. She and Beacon stole my blankets, I looked at them tiredly and stood up.
"What. Do. You. Want." I watched Rain shift from foot to foot and point at my loving niece. "Beacon?"
"G.A Weiss said she needed to talk to you." She said. "Can we get ice cream after you talk to her?"
"Sure thing, after I talk to my mom... What does G.A stand for?" I asked.
"Great aunt!" Beacon chirped.
"Okay I'll go see your G.A then." I literally flew down the stairs where I found my mother pacing.
"She's going to panic... No I don't think that's a good idea... Perhaps..." She was muttering to herself, apparently she gets advice from some higher being who Beacon and I dubbed as 'Q-Cat'.
"Mom, the Q's always spouting nonsense from what you say. Now what did you want?" I tapped my fingers on the wall impatiently.
"Ah Silence!" Mom spun around and stopped pacing. "I have some news for you, about your friend Viola."
I held back a disappointed sigh. All of my friends are disappearing, even the crazy albino.
"Viola, she's been missing for a few days now, correct." Mom stated, I nodded. "Where did you last see her?"
"I last saw her at Starbucks. Why?" Where was she going with this?
"According to Blake - your Blake's mother- she was taken by a rivaling mafia for information about the Kira case." My mother heaved a sigh and sent me a sympathetic look. "She was beaten pretty badly but didn't say a word.
"Suicide went to get her last night, after you and Rain arrived. She's in the basement resting at the moment."
I ran downstairs and opened every door in the basement. I found her sleeping peacefully in the dungeon (spare bed/storage room).
Quietly, I flew to her side and frowned. Her right arm was in a cast while her neck had visible burn marks climbing to her chin. I assumed that there were more burn marks underneath her clothes but didn't check.
"Perhaps you should stay with her from now on." Weiss walked in the room and hummed. "You can't stay at that orphanage for much longer. Talk it over with her and see if you and Beacon can move in." She said. "That way you could keep an eye on her as well."
"...I'll think about it." I said truthfully. After a few minutes I went upstairs to break all of the news to Beacon and get her ice cream.
