Chapter 61 - Chapter 60 A Journey That Begins With Blood

Herbert was found dead, and Lolina quickly hurried back to the other students. Meanwhile, Nacht, Kisa, Diego, Mona, and Charlotte were still in the hospital with Miss Tina.

Tina: Hmm.

Kisa: Hmm?

Nacht: (coughs lightly) Oh dear… it is raining.

Diego: Yeah.

Charlotte: My goodness.

Tina: Do you have blankets here? I will sleep here with you tonight.

Nacht: Oh yes, there are enough. They gave us several, no idea why.

Tina: Good, then I will sleep here with you tonight… to protect you.

They fell asleep…

Kisa: (Hahh)… Nacht?

Nacht: Huh?

Kisa: Why are you awake?

Nacht: I cannot sleep… also Diego is snoring right next to my ear…

Kisa: Hmm… hehe.

She made some space.

Nacht: Hmm?

Kisa: Sleep next to me?

Nacht: Ngh…

Kisa: Come on…

Nacht: Uh… okay…

He did.

Nacht: (blushes)

Kisa: Hahh…

She fell asleep… smiling in her sleep…

Nacht: Ugh… for being in danger, she is calm.

Kisa: Huh?

Nacht: Hmm?

Kisa: Is something wrong, Nacht?

Nacht: Are you not afraid?

Kisa: Me?… why should I be… as long as you are here… I know I do not need to be afraid.

Nacht: Hmm… you should not trust me too much…

Kisa: But I do…

Nacht: Hmm?

Kisa: You are a kind guy, Nacht… and you are almost like a leader…

Nacht: Hmm?

Kisa: I think… you are really… a great boy.

Nacht: Hmm…

He stroked her head.

Nacht: Go to sleep now, Kisa…

Kisa: Okay.

She did…

Nacht: No matter what happens… I will do my best so I do not lose any of you…

He gently touched Kisa's cheek…

Nacht: Even if I have to sacrifice myself.

A few minutes later

Diego: Ugh… I need to go to the bathroom… I cannot hold it anymore.

He went in…

A few minutes later

Diego: Hahh… I hate it when I have to go because I ate too much spicy food… huh?

He turned around… a child stood in front of him.

Diego: Ugh… hey… kid?… what are you doing here…

He got closer.

Diego: Hey kid… hello… hello?…

It turned around… it had such a wide smile… it went all the way to its eyes.

Diego: Ughh… what the hell is that!

Child: Hehehehehe… in the name of darkness… may you… fall into the hands of the dark master Gargamel… hehehehehehe…

It changed its form into a creepy dark figure.

Dark Figure: I am Dulda… I am a dark spirit that does what Gargamel commands!!… you five Cinder Tales!!

Diego: Uh… hey… wait a second… I think I did not clean my butt enough, it is itching.

He went back inside.

Dulda: Huh?

Diego: Oh… come out, you idiot… wait… did I just insult myself… ugh… not good.

Dulda: Uh…

Diego was still in the bathroom.

Diego: Ohhh… come out already…

Splash!

Diego: Oh… that was quite something.

Dulda: …bbbb…

Diego came out.

Diego: So… what did you want again… uh…

The spirit was so disgusted that it was lying unconscious on the ground.

Diego: Uh…

Nacht: Congratulations… you made a spirit sick to its stomach.

Diego: Hey… sorry that I ate too much spicy food…

Nacht: Hmm.

Diego: But I am telling you… that was the best bathroom trip of my life… I thought my soul was coming out.

Nacht: Good… but next time, do not just leave someone alone like that.

Diego: Okay… okay.

Nacht: Good… now come inside.

Diego: I am hungry.

Nacht: You ate less than three hours ago.

Diego: I am still hungry.

Nacht: Well… I am not your mother… so stop saying I am hungry like a stupid child.

Diego: Hey…

Nacht: Hahh… go to the kitchen, you might find some fruit there.

Diego: Come with me.

Nacht: Why should I?

Diego: Because you just said we should not be alone.

Nacht: Hahh… okay.

They went together.

Diego: Uh…

Nacht: Huh?

Mona: Huh?

Diego: Mona… you are awake!!!

Mona: Mmm… (chewing)… yeah… just woke up… I am extremely hungry… sorry.

Nacht: No wonder… you were unconscious for more than ten hours.

Diego: I have to say… you look very nice with shorter hair.

Mona: Yeah… I just cut it… do you… want a piece?

Diego: Uh… what is that?

Mona: I have no idea, but it tastes good.

Diego: As long as it tastes good.

Nacht: What if someone spat on it?

Diego: As long as it tastes good… or if a woman spat on it…

Silence

Nacht: You are really disgusting, you know that?

Mona: Totally… by the way… how is Kisa?

Nacht: Hmm.

Diego: She is good.

Nacht: That means she is doing well… idiot… do not talk with your mouth full.

Diego: Why?

Splash

Nacht: Exactly because of that, you idiot… ugh… whatever… just keep eating but do not talk to me.

Mona: Hmm… did you find out who it was?

Nacht: Yes… Johnson and Hans did it… do not worry… they will never do it again.

Mona: Hahh… why do I feel like something bad happened…?

Nacht: Because it did… unfortunately, there are problems… we… well… were lured into a trap.

Mona: Huh?..

Diego: The bridges were destroyed… and Hans and Johnson got the poison from Liora.

Mona: What!… hahh… that explains a lot…

Nacht: Mhm…

Mona: Hahh…

She sat down again.

Mona: Well… whatever.

She kept eating, this time it was fruit salad.

Mona: Mmm…

Diego: So what do we do now?

Nacht: Nothing… for now… we should stay calm.

Diego: Stay calm.

Nacht: Exactly… it is not good for us if we make bad decisions… let us stay for now and this time trust the principal… Lolina.

Mona: Mhm… I think that is good… there is not much else we can do.

Diego: Yeah… probably.

Nacht: Good… Mona, do you want to keep eating or sleep?

Diego: Hmm?

Mona: I want to keep eating… yes… do you want to eat too?

Nacht: No thanks… but take care of yourself… I do not even know if you are allowed to eat.

Mona: Oh… someone is worried about me.

Nacht: Of course I am… and you, Diego… stay with her… you get along a bit better now… I will go for a short walk in the garden, okay?

Diego: Okay.

Mona: Mhm.

Nacht gently placed his hand on Mona's head and then left.

Mona: Strange… since when is he so nice.

Diego: Probably because he ate too much spicy food and it went to his brain instead of his stomach.

Mona: You do realize how stupid that sounds… whatever…

Diego: Mona…

Mona: Hmm?

Diego: I am glad you are okay again… by the way… I like your new hairstyle… you look even… prettier.

Meanwhile

Nacht: Huh… what the hell…

Several dead animals were lying on the ground.

Nacht: Ugh.
