Captured [1]

Remus was running down the hallway in such a fast pace that Daryll who was behind him couldn't keep up as he halted, putting his hands onto his knees and panting, catching his breath. But Remus kept going.

"Man...he...sure...run...fast...ho!" Daryll uttered chuckling in between his breath. He stood still, breathing heavily as he wipes off the beans of sweat running down his face.

Seeing as his companion was already gone, Daryll couldn't help but decided to go back. He can't keep up with Remus's stamina. Daryll can almost feel his legs becoming noodles as he walk back up to the 3rd floor of the academy. They were almost giving out.

On his way back, he bumped into one of the student council. Lucas Weinberg, he was stretching his neck on the window seemingly finding someone. Daryll immediately thought that he was looking for Remus.

Lucas heard footsteps nearing, making his head turn to his left. He saw a blond haired boy with tanned color skin approaching him. He had also realized his pointy ears. Not long enough, Lucas recognized the man.

"Oh, it's you...err, Darrie right?" Said he snapping his finger.

Daryll took a long deep breath before replying, "Nice guess, but it's Daryll."

"Right, Right! Have you seen the student council president- Dion? He snuck out on us again!" Lucas asked, furiously.

Daryll's brows met, confused upon Lucas' question. Why would he ask his whereabouts? No, more importantly, why would he look for Dion in their class?

Wouldn't it be more logical to find the SC president within the teachers' lounge in this floor?

"Um, no...? And why would he be here?" Daryll remarked.

Upon hearing Daryll's response, Lucas sighed and said, "Well, he seems to be fixated with, uh, that golden eyed girl in your class."

"You mean Luna?" He replied.

Lucas snapped his fingers, "Yes her! I don't know why but he talks about her, like too much, it's annoying. And, err, his fixation towards her is becoming unhealthly."

The word Fixation couldn't help describe how interested Dion was to Luna. It's almost of a form of obsession. An unhealthy one at that.

Moreover, Lucas have been observing Dion for the couple of week and noticed that the student president keep notes about the maiden. Which he finds weird and creepy, but he can't say that.

Luna this, Luna that. Dion had been bothering him and Claire for weeks now about Luna. Probably because his brother and Claire's cousin were close to her; Remus and Rinalyn.

Lucas couldn't understand why, and he does not dare to ask. It felt as if he'll just step on a landmine if he asked about his reason.

In addition, Dion is one of the student who got into the top five of the ranking last year. He's clever, a strategiest, a tactician- or so their professor call him. Dion was even selected personally by the vice principal to be the Student president.

However with all that, Dion has a downside. A very unhealthy one, and that is his fixation towards things. Lucas knew very well how Dion can be immersed into one thing until he gets it, but he didn't know he also do that with a person he's interested in.

'...Well, I don't think his fixation came from romantic interest.' Lucas thought.

"Oh! I do see him alot in places whenever we step out. I paid it no mind since, you know, he's the SC president, but I guess he's, uhh, err...stalking Luna...?" Daryll didn't want to sound rude nor to offend Lucas, but with what Lucas said, those were the only thing he could thought of Dion at the moment. A stalker.

Lucas nodded, "A one heck of a stalker, for sure." He said in agreement with Daryll.

"What are you guys talking about?"

"Eek!" Daryll squeaked, flinched from the low pitched voice from behind, jumping from Lucas's side.

"The hell dude?" Remus uttered covering his ears.

Daryll could believe it, this guy was just running furiously as if his life depended on it a minute ago, yet he's here and didn't even break a sweat. He looks completely fine, unlike Daryll who was still exhausted from keeping up with Remus' pace.

"I thought you- you're going to find Austin and Rei? What happened?" Daryll asked stepping out behind Lucas. "Did you find them?"

Remus sighed, "How can I find them when I don't even know where they are? Besids, that was an impulse response, why do I even bother to help red head? Ha!" He scoffed.

Daryll and Lucas squinted their eyes at him in disbelief. The two of them glance towards each other as they shook their heads and sighed.

"What?" He asked baffled by their reaction.

"You're not very honest, you know?" Daryll bluntly replied.

"Wha-?! The hell? You think I like helping ref head out?! No way in hell!" Remus immediately realized what was behind Daryll's word as he frowned and yelled. "I'm outta here!" He shouted furiously, turning back, stomping his feet away from his brother and friend.

"You think he'll go find Rei again?" Daryll suddenly asked out of the blue as he watch Remus stomping away.

"I hate to admit this, but... definitely." Lucas nodded in agreement.

Tak! Tak!

Remus kept on kicking a single pebble in front of him. His brows met with one another, glaring at everyone he bump into.

"You look as if you've hit rock bottom."

A clear gentle voice made Remus halt. As his eyes were glued down, he could see the person's doll shoes. Remus slowly lift his chin and there he saw Luna and Shiki together.

His gaze went back and forth to the two. Raising a brow. They seem to have been getting closer day by day, but oddly enough they don't interact inside the class. He wouldn't even see the two horror things from each other- they're rather more interactive outside of the class.

Shiki who immediately sense that Remus was thinking of something, he decided to speak up."Where are you going?" He asked.

Remus twitched "...Oval," He hesitatedly replied, "By the way have you seen your sister?" He asked back, deliberately changing the subject.

"...No, Why?" Shiki asked bewildered by his question.

"Uhh, no it's nothing." Remus shrugged.

"I saw her with Austin."

The two glance to Luna who suddenly replied.

"As expected..." Remus muttered. "What were they doing?"

Luna was baffled by Remus' sudden question but she answered him anyway. "They seem to be getting along, I saw Rei clinging to him. Perhaps they're getting back together?"

"What?!" Both Remus and Shiki yelled in disbelief.

-!

"Why?!" Remus asked leaning to Luna as he frowned.

"How the hell would I know?" Luna pushed Remus lightly putting a space in between them. "If you wanna know, why don't you go find out yourself."
