Nobody had seen Crane for a significant amount of time, everytime someone would bring her dinner, they would have to leave it in front of the door. Colleen's pacing even made some of the Mystic's nervous.

"Markus, you should try talking to her." Darius finally says.

"You think I haven't tried?" Markus snaps. The man had been a bundle of nerves ever since Little Red had locked herself up in her room. He saw her burn her red hoodie along with every diary she had owned. Everytime he had tried to speak to her she had started crying or had a blank stare and distant look in her eyes.

Tim had been sittimg outside of her door for the past day and a half, only coming to get dinner. Grayson hadn't spoken about it, and kept his thoughts to himsekf, Adri had tried knocking a few times. Darius and Markus had been the only two capable of even entering the room. Even then, when they walked out they both looked like they had been kicked in the stomach.

"She needs to stop hiding and speak up." Misha snaps.

"Shut up. You know nothing about her if you think thats the person she is." Colleen snaps.

"See, you act like you know her. But she has only cussed you out, flipped you off and attempted to kill you ever since she's been here." Grayson responds.

"Colleen has a point as much as I hate to admit it. Crane has never been the girl to talk about her feelings aloud. Its just not in her character." Darius shakes his head.

"He has a point Colleen. If you two are as close as you say you are then why hasn't she told you anything?" Adri leans against the wall and lifts a brow at her. "We've known Crane for five years and we're all closer to her than you are."

Colleen rolls her eyes and doesn't respond.

"If Crane's not speaking up, theres a reason behind it. I think we can all come to that conclusion." Morgan stammers. The Cryptids nod and silence envlopes the household. The creaking of a door occurs and Tim yelps in surprise. Everyone turns and see Crane standing in the hallway moments later.

The scars she had earned years earlier were visible from the scarlett t-shirt she wore.

"You guys worry too much..." Crane croaks out, giving a dull, familiar smile. Tim hugged Crane around the waist and heaved a sigh while the rest of the group also seemed to breathe a sigh of deep relief.

Everyone knew that there was more to it...but since she was actually showing herself...no one asked.
