"I haven't seen you in the castle before..." the nun said as they walk away leaving the church area.

"I'm a transferee. This is my first time here..." she said as she noticed the path they took, reminding her of the same path she took the night of the welcoming party.

It's the path that will lead them to that abandoned building where she first met Amara.

"Sister? Where exactly are we going? The adoration chapel is on the other side of the castle!" She said and heard a low chuckle from the nun.

"Just keep walking. And we'll reach our final destination..." the nun said and after that, none of them spoke.

The path became more misty. And even though it's daylight, the abandoned building is somehow shaded with darkness.

They entered the building and there she saw tons of skeletons scattered on the dusty floor. Her eyes widened in shock at the sudden sight.

She turned to the nun with a perplexed expression but her face went paled when she saw a smile creeping on the nun's lips.

"They were forgotten here... With no one to pray for their souls..." the nun said and knelt on the floor, her movement showing that she prepares for a prayer.

"Thousands of fallen soldiers. Fogotten and buried deep beneath the ground. With no one to remember them all..." she said and began uttering inaudible sounds.

Qaelust was starting to panic. She decided to run away but when she turn around to the same path they went to come in. A mountain of skeletons greeted her.

The exit is nowhere to be seen wherever she looks. It's only an endless field of skeletons. And the darkness that is slowly shading them.

She turned back to the nun. Now simply not doing any certain movements, big or small.

"Sister!? What's going on???" She asked hoping her hunch is wrong.

But to no avail, she didn't get any response from the nun. And slowly, but surely.

The black cloak of the nun suddenly flew to her making her scream with fear and she immediately flee. She run and run not sure if someone is even chasing her.

She swore she would have punched whoever ghost it is on the face. As some hand suddenly grabbed her right arm. Halting her from her dash.

"Are you alright?" A familiar voice pulled her out from her trance.

The soft bright daylight shone to her, indicating that the darkness that once shaded her surroundings is now visibly gone.

"Qaelust?" Qaeus called out to her again. His doe eyes glazed with so much worries.

He's now holding Qaelust on both her shoulders while trying to snap her from her trance.

"I-I'm fine..." she muttered, stepping away from the boy.

"Are you sure?" He asked not buying her words.

"I said I'm fine!" She snapped and let out an exasperated sigh.

"Oh f**k that! You were acting strange! If I hadn't stopped you, you would have hit your head on the wall!" He yelled and pointed at the said wall that's dividing the territory of the girls and boys.

"You could've cracked your head open! Are you insane!!? You were running around as if someone is chasing you!"

"I've been calling your name either and you don't even seem to hear my voice at all!" He scowled, his ears turning red probably because he's ranting.

Qaelust felt a little apologetic. The latter actually just wanted to help.

"Sorry... But I'm really okay now!" She said with a calming tone.

Qaeus huffed putting both his hands on his waist. His brows perked, teeth gritting.
To look hot while being angry is seriously shaming Apollo.

"Will you stop fuming at me now? I'm really not in a good mood..." she mumbled and looked around only to realize how far she must've ran from that abandoned building to the wall.

"What happened to you? You rarely act stupid!" He asked earning a frown from the girl.

"Stupid!?" She hissed.

"Whatever! Get back to your room! You're not suppose to be here anyway!" He scolded and shoo her away by pointing at the building.

"Tch! Weirdo!" She mumbled before she stomped back to the building.

Qaeus watched her walk back to the building. The scenario of her running while screaming flashing back to his mind.
He was so thankful he was able to grab her before she could hit her head on the wall.

"She's so weird..." he mumbled and continued patrolling back to the boys' territory.
