"Discuss... what exactly? I doubt it's something like bad right haha. I meannnn worst that could happen is her escaping the mental institution and like I dunno try to kill me or something right" you shrug and joke it off yet Ei's silence sends a shiver down your spine

"Right........?" You question once again

...

"Xiao, I'd like to speak with y/n personally. You may proceed to school now, I'll personally accompany her there afterwards."

"Yes, ma'am," he says as he walks towards the door giving you a concerned look before exiting and leaving to school

"Y/n, let's go to my car, I'll take you to the park for a bit so we can talk."

"Sure, sure, but I won't be late for school, right?"

"Not at all," she answers as she prepares to depart.

-

When you arrive at the park, you pick a bench to sit on, and she hands you an envelope while sipping her coffee."I received a notice from your mother's hospital yesterday, she escaped."

There is a brief silence before you speak. "you're joking, right?" You scoff opening the envelope

"Joking? Of course not, I don't joke and i'm most certainly not laughing."

"B-but she- she couldn't possibly want anything to do with me anymore, right?" As you ask your heart rate rises.

"They said she cursed and said horrible things about you days before she escaped. I'm afraid she'll come after you."

your eyes narrow reading the words off the paper and your breathing becomes sharp and quick, your heart beats faster and faster, pounding harder with each second that passes as you read the paper from the envelope, clutching the sides.

It was written by her in messy frantic writing, tear stained and hints of what seemed to be blood. It scribbled "y/n must die" over and over again. "Y/n must be discarded." It was messy, but it was clear she wished you to disappear.

"I- what... what do I do?!"

Tears began to form in your eyes as you stared at the page before returning your gaze to Ei, your breathing rapid and uneven. You felt as though you wanted to throw up, covering your mouth with the palm of your hand and using the other one to crumple the paper and throw it in the trash.

Ei wraps her arms around you and caresses your head in a comforting manner. You clutch onto her tightly trying to calm yourself down by replicating her breathing.

"I'll have a bodyguard keep an eye on you, I promised your father you wouldn't get hurt."

"A bodyguard?!?" Absolutely not, a bodyguard would bring me way too much attention!!" You flail your hands

"Fine, I'll have my son protect you, and I'll ask Zhongli if he'll let you stay with me until that... monster... is found."

"Ei, please, this is far too much I-"

"Nonsense." She interrupts "I'll make sure you're safe now hurry up and lets get you to school." You and ei return to the car.

"Ah, one more thing, y/n, about your sister Yoimiya." There's a small pause before she continues speaking "I found her and have already reached out, I'm waiting for a response right now, but I'll let you know as soon as I get it."

"Thank you that's great really, but where is she?"

"Small island in Ritou, sending the letter to her address was a hassle. Her present guardian appears to be your guys' grandfather."

"I see.." When the two of you arrive at the school, Ei walks you inside.

"Am I going to be okay today?" You ask, slightly trembling.

"Yes, I assure you that nothing bad will happen y/n. I texted Scaramouche, and he will be looking after you today." Your eyes widen once more

'Is this really going to work out?!? After what happened..... I'm going to die oh my go-'

"Okay ! I'll get to class right away, Miss Ei! thank you for well, everything"

"Ah, one more thing! Please attend your photography class, your teacher is concerned. Don't worry about anyone spreading 'rumors' I'll stop any activity concerning such things within an hour."

You smile at her and enter the building in search of one of your friends, You turn a corner and catch sight of familiar indigo eyes, which appear to be approaching you rather quickly but before they reach you a pair of blue ones cover them

"Hey, girlie! Come on, let's get to class Fischl is waiting for you!!!"

You exhale in relief as you walk into your first class, "oh my god ajax you just saved my ass thank you I owe you so so sooooo much"

As you find your seat, the ginger smiles smugly and reaches for your tote bag, which you give to him with a sigh, and he dives in to retrieve a snack.

"I'll take this as repayment!!!!!"

"Typical Ajax," you think to yourself rolling your eyes.

"Hello there, my dear y/n! My illness has gone and i feel plenty better. How are you? It's been a long time since we've seen or spoken to each other." Fischl interrupted

"hey Fish ! I really missed you!!!" You practically sprang out of your seat and into the arms of the blonde. There was a familiar figure behind her who looked to be approaching all three of you.

"y/n hello, the stars have foretold your future, and I've come to relay what they've said," she murmured hurriedly, practically sweating and with a worried expression on her face, hands clutched together and scratching at the flesh near her nails.

"Good morning Mona! I'd love to hear about it, but are you okay? You seem... distressed..." You mention, letting go of Fischl and moving closer to Mona.

"Ah, yes, I'm fine would you mind coming out to the hallway quickly so we can talk about it?" She asks, taking one of your hands. "its very important"

You follow her into the hallway, Fischl and ajax looking at you with concern, so you give them a "I'll be fine" smile.

"y/n.. i sense you're in terrible horrible danger, now my readings may be off, but someone or something is looking for vengeance and I just can't figure out what it is... please be careful okay? I'm here if you need anything."

"So it's true then... I'll be careful," you respond with a crooked smile, your stomach twisting and you start feeling nauseous.

Mona shakes her head, her eyes staring into yours with a sad gaze "y/n I don't think you understand... whatever this is emits a dreadful stench of violence, it wishes to deceive you before hurting you. My divination skills may be useful in determining how to avoid it, but that requires me probing into your memories and personal life..."

"if you do not want me to do so, I can attempt to help in other ways." She takes a deep breath before speaking once more

"I know we've only just met recently but I am here for you if you need anything, a place to go, someone to talk to, just let me know."

"yeah uhm id prefer it if you didn't go through my memories and stuff but thank you Mona." You look down and clasp your hands together "i think i need some time for this.. to well sit in my head, join us for lunch kay?" As you return to your math lesson, Mona nods slightly frowning as she waves farewell.

"Is everything all right, y/n?" The presence of Ajax and Fischl calms you down little.

'I'll use them to distract myself' you tell yourself as you reassure them that you're alright.

"Please take a seat!" Let us begin with today's lesson."

8ball?

Y/N

oh youre so gonna lose bring it on mr detective

-

Class ends with you holding your phone, cussing Heizou out for beating you at 8ball and switching between group chats despite the fact that you should've all been paying attention in class.

You sigh as you get from your seat, grab your bag, and push your seat in, ajax and fischl walking beside you as you head to your next class, photography.

You take a long breath while gripping Ajax's arm, you hadn't even realized you hadn't exhaled. "y/n breathe babe, you're going to be fine I'll deal with anyone who dares to speak negatively about you," fischl says quietly rubbing your back.

A shadow appears behind you, colliding with Ajax, causing you to lose your grip on his arm and fall into Fischl's arms instead.

Scaramouche enters the room with his hands in his pockets, slightly hunched over, and locks eyes with first Ajax giving him a vicious look, and then at you, his stare softening somewhat. he rolls his eyes and walks to his seat, ajax smugly flipping the boy off.

"Oh my God, he hates me!" you exclaim to Fischl, "what am I going to do?!? Is it because I've been avoiding his purple ass!? wait. Why would he dislike me? WHAT DID I DO?" you push your palms on your face, pretending to wail into them dramatically.

Fischl sighs, properly supporting you. "You're fine, stop being a little bitch," Ajax adds, chuckling.

"Shut it ginger!" You say standing your ground and punching the side of his arm as he laughs at you

"Can we please go inside now?" fischl disrupts, you nod as Fischl opens the door to the classroom leading you inside, people look at you but no one appears to be disapproving. Your gaze falls on Scaramouche, who appears to be texting someone.

He looks up from his screen at you for a moment as he presses send, tapping at the side of his phone case as if to motion you to do something.

You feel your phone buzz as you take your seat next to Ajax.

A/N: gee gosh I wonder what that notification wasss a text message? A call? Random app notification??? Your mother??? Scaramouche???? Yoimiya? Stalker? Possibilities are endless !!!!! :3
