"What are you doing, you're getting a little too chummy with that bunny there." Gavin crossed his arms as he stood in front of Victor who was laid back leisurely on the couch.

"Hmm? You jealous?"

"Pfft, as if I would be." Gavin rolled his eyes at Victor who was smiling weirdly at him while wriggling his eyebrows. He ignored Victor and went over to the kitchen to get himself a glass of water.

"How close are the two of you? Friends? Best friends?"

"Not even close." He replied immediately, taking a sip of water from his glass while fishing out his phone from his pocket.

"Hmm? Your not friends?"

"Why would I want to be friends with that bunny, it's not like she doesn't have friends."

"You and your icy barrier. Why don't you just try and make friends with her, who knows what may happen in the future hmm?" Victor voiced out, sounding certain of what he said. ๐‘บ๐’‰๐’† ๐’Š๐’๐’…๐’†๐’†๐’… ๐’˜๐’Š๐’๐’ ๐’ƒ๐’†...๐’‚ ๐’ˆ๐’“๐’†๐’‚๐’• ๐’‡๐’“๐’Š๐’†๐’๐’… ๐’‡๐’๐’“ ๐‘ฎ๐’‚๐’—๐’Š๐’...

"Whatever, I'll be in my room, and don't disturb me unnecessarily."

"Why do I feel like I'm not welcomed in your dorm here little bro?"

"You wanna taste my pan instead?"

"Okay okay, fine..." Gavin glared at Victor, drinking up his water, and washed his cup in the basin before heading back into his room, leaving Victor all alone in the living room. ๐‘ฏ๐’๐’˜ ๐’๐’Š๐’„๐’†, ๐‘ฐ'๐’Ž ๐’‚๐’๐’ ๐’‚๐’๐’๐’๐’† ๐’๐’๐’˜ ๐’‚๐’ˆ๐’‚๐’Š๐’.

"I'm not getting attached, am I? Nah, that isn't possible." He muttered to himself as he tried to shake off the thoughts in his mind. He placed his book back onto his bookshelf before looking through some of the school documents including Vivian's punishment statements.

"How many more does she have now? Did she complete it?" Gavin asked himself as he collated the papers of handwritten statements by Vivian and placed them by the side of his table with something placed on top of it, preventing the paper from flying away.

"Nothing much to do now, might as well just rest..."

Vivian went back to her dorm and happily went in to be greeted by the puppy, it was wagging its tail at her while trying to jump on her.

"When did you get here hmm? Are you hungry~" the puppy barked at her in response to what she asked as she placed down her candies onto the kitchen counter and went over to get the puppy some food to eat.

"Here you go, eat up little one~!" She poured some dog food into the puppy's bowl before keeping away the rest back into the cabinet. ๐‘ต๐’๐’˜ ๐’•๐’‰๐’‚๐’•, ๐’•๐’‰๐’‚๐’•'๐’” ๐’…๐’๐’๐’†...๐’˜๐’‰๐’†๐’“๐’† ๐’Š๐’” ๐‘ฑ๐’†๐’๐’๐’Š๐’†? ๐‘ด๐’‚๐’š๐’ƒ๐’† ๐’”๐’‰๐’† ๐’Š๐’” ๐’“๐’๐’‚๐’Ž๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ ๐’‚๐’“๐’๐’–๐’๐’… ๐’•๐’‰๐’† ๐’”๐’„๐’‰๐’๐’๐’ ๐’๐’Š๐’Œ๐’† ๐’”๐’๐’Ž๐’† ๐’˜๐’Š๐’๐’… ๐’ƒ๐’†๐’‚๐’“, ๐’Ž๐’Š๐’๐’…๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ ๐’‰๐’†๐’“ ๐’๐’˜๐’ ๐’ƒ๐’–๐’”๐’Š๐’๐’†๐’”๐’”.

She stretched out her arms into the air before heading into her room and closed the door shut. ๐‘ฐ ๐’•๐’‰๐’Š๐’๐’Œ ๐‘ฐ ๐’”๐’‰๐’๐’–๐’๐’… ๐’๐’†๐’• ๐’Ž๐’š๐’”๐’†๐’๐’‡ ๐’“๐’†๐’๐’‚๐’™ ๐’‚ ๐’๐’Š๐’•๐’•๐’๐’†, ๐’Š๐’•'๐’” ๐’ƒ๐’†๐’†๐’ ๐’‚ ๐’•๐’Š๐’“๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ ๐’…๐’‚๐’š ๐’˜๐’Š๐’•๐’‰ ๐’•๐’‰๐’๐’”๐’† ๐’•๐’˜๐’ ๐’š๐’†๐’๐’๐’๐’˜ ๐’˜๐’†๐’“๐’†๐’˜๐’๐’๐’—๐’†๐’” ๐’‰๐’‚๐’๐’ˆ๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ ๐’‚๐’“๐’๐’–๐’๐’…...she thought as she went to pick out some comfy nightwear and went into her bathroom for a shower.

While Vivian was taking her time in the shower, she was humming in the shower while holding the shower head like a microphone. It was all peaceful and lively until she heard something or someone opened the door to her room.

Whoever opened my door, they need to be more gentle with it, she thought before turning off her showering head and stared at her bathroom door.

She waited, to hear if there were any more movements in her room but there wasn't, ๐’•๐’‰๐’† ๐’๐’๐’Š๐’”๐’† ๐’”๐’•๐’๐’‘๐’‘๐’†๐’…...๐’Š๐’” ๐‘ฑ๐’†๐’๐’๐’Š๐’† ๐’‰๐’๐’Ž๐’† ๐’‚๐’๐’“๐’†๐’‚๐’…๐’š?

Vivian thought that maybe Jennie had just got home and maybe entered her room to find her since Vivian was in the showers or maybe something else so she shrugged off the weird feeling and continued her shower.

Then a sudden loud thud of something that had dropped onto the floor, made her stop again.

"Jennie is that you out there in my room?!" Vivian shouted but no one replied to her back, ๐’•๐’‰๐’‚๐’•'๐’” ๐’˜๐’†๐’Š๐’“๐’…...In the end, she got herself dried up and wore her clothing before opening the bathroom door.

Once she was out of the bathroom, she took a look around her surroundings and spotted nothing suspicious or weird before seconds later she noticed that some of her books had fallen off the shelf.

She went over to the fallen books, picking them u off the floor, and placed them back neatly onto the shelf. ๐‘ฐ๐’• ๐’…๐’๐’†๐’”๐’'๐’• ๐’”๐’†๐’†๐’Ž ๐’๐’Š๐’Œ๐’† ๐’‚๐’๐’š๐’๐’๐’† ๐’‰๐’‚๐’… ๐’”๐’•๐’†๐’‘๐’‘๐’†๐’… ๐’Š๐’๐’•๐’ ๐’Ž๐’š...Vivian stopped in her thoughts as her attention diverted over to her room door.

Her room door was slightly opened and somehow the room lighting got darker, ๐‘ฐ ๐’Œ๐’๐’๐’˜ ๐’Š๐’•'๐’” ๐’ˆ๐’†๐’•๐’•๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ ๐’๐’‚๐’•๐’† ๐’ƒ๐’–๐’• ๐’Š๐’• ๐’”๐’‰๐’๐’–๐’๐’…๐’'๐’• ๐’ƒ๐’† ๐’•๐’๐’ ๐’๐’‚๐’•๐’† ๐’‡๐’๐’“ ๐’‚ ๐’”๐’–๐’…๐’…๐’†๐’ ๐’…๐’‚๐’“๐’Œ ๐’๐’–๐’•. She wanted to go over to her room's light switch to turn on the lights when she had only taken 2 steps forward, an ominous feeling surround her room.

The feeling felt as if someone was watching her moves, ๐’•๐’‰๐’Š๐’” ๐’Š๐’” ๐’๐’๐’• ๐’‚ ๐’ˆ๐’๐’๐’… ๐’‡๐’†๐’†๐’๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ ๐’˜๐’‰๐’‚๐’•๐’”๐’๐’†๐’—๐’†๐’“...She thought as she looked up at the door when her eyes widened. Vivian met eye to eye with someone staring at her through the opened crack of her door.

She squinted her eyes to get a clearer look at the thing over behind her door. The longer she stared at it, memories slowly started flooding back into her mind, ๐‘ฐ ๐’•๐’‰๐’Š๐’๐’Œ ๐‘ฐ'๐’—๐’† ๐’”๐’†๐’†๐’ ๐’•๐’‰๐’‚๐’• ๐’”๐’‰๐’‚๐’…๐’๐’˜ ๐’”๐’๐’Ž๐’†๐’˜๐’‰๐’†๐’“๐’† ๐’ƒ๐’†๐’‡๐’๐’“๐’†...

Then she remembered seeing a familiar shadow in the forest where she picked up the puppy from the park, it was the same shadow that was standing there in the forest, staring at her...

"Who are you? Why are you in my dorm?" Vivian calmly asked the shadow but something felt different about it. It was just standing by her door, staring at her, not moving an inch.

She tried moving closer to the shadow but as she got closer little by little, the figure started getting darker and darker until the shadow was not just a faint grey figure but a black dark figure...

She tried reaching out to the shadow but as expected, her hands slipped through the shadow's body. ๐‘ฐ๐’” ๐’•๐’‰๐’Š๐’” ๐’‚ ๐’ˆ๐’‰๐’๐’”๐’•? ๐‘ฐ๐’” ๐’•๐’‰๐’†๐’“๐’† ๐’‚ ๐’ˆ๐’‰๐’๐’”๐’• ๐’๐’๐’˜ ๐’Š๐’ ๐’•๐’‰๐’† ๐’”๐’„๐’‰๐’๐’๐’? Vivian raised one of her eyebrows as she looked at the shadow up and down, scanning it. ๐‘พ๐’๐’‚๐’‰...

"Umm..." She got cut off when suddenly her room went into complete darkness, the window light vanished.

It was just her in an empty room filled with darkness, ๐’•๐’‰๐’†๐’“๐’† ๐’”๐’‰๐’๐’–๐’๐’…๐’'๐’• ๐’ƒ๐’† ๐’‚ ๐’ƒ๐’๐’‚๐’„๐’Œ ๐’๐’–๐’•, ๐’๐’ ๐’๐’Š๐’ˆ๐’‰๐’•๐’” ๐’˜๐’†๐’“๐’† ๐’•๐’–๐’“๐’๐’†๐’… ๐’๐’ ๐’‚๐’๐’… ๐‘ฐ'๐’Ž ๐’”๐’–๐’“๐’† ๐’•๐’‰๐’†๐’š ๐’‚๐’Š๐’'๐’• ๐’”๐’‘๐’๐’Š๐’๐’†๐’… ๐’†๐’Š๐’•๐’‰๐’†๐’“.

Vivian didn't remember breaking any lights in the dorm so there shouldn't be a sudden blackout, out of the blue. She reached out her hand to where the door was and tried finding a switch or something to get some light in her room.

๐‘ฐ ๐’“๐’†๐’Ž๐’†๐’Ž๐’ƒ๐’†๐’“ ๐’•๐’‰๐’† ๐’๐’Š๐’ˆ๐’‰๐’• ๐’”๐’˜๐’Š๐’•๐’„๐’‰ ๐’ƒ๐’†๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ ๐’‰๐’†๐’“๐’†... ๐’˜๐’‰๐’†๐’“๐’† ๐’Š๐’” ๐’Š๐’•? She used her hands and traced around the wall in front of her.

"Ah! Here." Vivian spoke up as she turned on the lights, flicking the switch on. Once the switch was on, she gasped at the sight of her room.

"Okay, I don't know what you want from me but don't go around trashing my room into a mess. I don't want to be cleaning up my room after a tiring day with cabbages." She said as she stared at the shadow that was currently floating in her room that was messed up by it.

"Why are you..." she stopped in her sentence as she noticed a trail of blood around her room with bloody handprints on her wall. ๐‘ฐ๐’” ๐’Š๐’• ๐’‰๐’‚๐’๐’๐’๐’˜๐’†๐’†๐’? ๐‘พ๐’‰๐’†๐’ ๐’Š๐’” ๐’‰๐’‚๐’๐’๐’๐’˜๐’†๐’†๐’ ๐’‚๐’ˆ๐’‚๐’Š๐’? Her eyes followed the trail and it seemingly came from outside of her room.

"What- Woah!" She exclaimed out in a tiny bit of shock as she lifted her eyes up to where the shadow was. It now stood close to her but this time showing a little darkness in it.

"Your pretty cool~ Why don't you go back to where though belong and don't barge into someone's room like that." it didn't move so she decided to follow the blood trail out of her room.

"If you're not moving or going away, then I'll go instead-" Vivian got cut off again when she felt a strong force gripping onto her leg, ๐’˜๐’‰๐’‚๐’• ๐’๐’๐’˜... ๐’‰๐’–๐’‰? She looked down at her legs as she saw two shadow-like hands grabbing onto her leg.

"Let me go!" She tried kicking away the hands but fell onto the floor, flat on her butt instead. ๐‘ถ๐’–๐’„๐’‰...๐’Ž๐’š ๐’ƒ๐’–๐’•๐’•! ๐‘ป๐’‰๐’‚๐’• ๐’‰๐’–๐’“๐’•, ๐’Ž๐’š ๐’ˆ๐’๐’๐’…๐’๐’†๐’”๐’”. ๐‘พ๐’‰๐’‚๐’• ๐’…๐’๐’†๐’” ๐’•๐’‰๐’Š๐’” ๐’•๐’‰๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ ๐’˜๐’‚๐’๐’• ๐’‡๐’“๐’๐’Ž ๐’Ž๐’†?!

"I said let me go!" She yelled out once again using a little of her magic to get rid of the shadow hands from grabbing her leg. She held out her hand and casted an light holy magic that gets rid of any evil spirits from her.

๐‘ป๐’‰๐’† ๐’“๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ...The ring was shining as it did before in her room at night, somehow instead of just her holy power. The ring had magical sparks that were glowing a shade of purple like Vivian's eyes, the sparks spiraled around the shadow beings and it slowly faded away.

"What's this...?" ๐’Š๐’• ๐’”๐’†๐’†๐’Ž๐’” ๐’๐’Š๐’Œ๐’† ๐’•๐’‰๐’† ๐’”๐’‘๐’‚๐’“๐’Œ๐’” ๐’‰๐’‚๐’… ๐’‚๐’ƒ๐’”๐’๐’“๐’ƒ๐’†๐’… ๐’•๐’‰๐’† ๐’”๐’‰๐’‚๐’…๐’๐’˜๐’”, ๐’๐’๐’˜ ๐’˜๐’‰๐’‚๐’•? The sparks turned black as in returned to the ring and she felt a feeling of electricity flowing in her as the magic entered back the ring.

Then the rest of the sparks flew over to the other big shadow that was originally in her room and did the same thing it did to the shadow hands. After being absorbed into the sparks, the black sparks flew back into the ring and the same electricity feeling buzzed in her.

Everything went back to normal when the shadow disappeared from sight, the blood, handprints were all gone, it was as if nothing ever happened before.

"Right...now what just happened?" Vivian was still confused about all that had just happened with the shadows and did not know why she is seeing them around.

๐‘ฌ๐’—๐’†๐’“๐’š๐’•๐’‰๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ'๐’” ๐’„๐’๐’†๐’‚๐’ ๐’๐’๐’˜...๐’†๐’™๐’„๐’†๐’‘๐’• ๐’‡๐’๐’“ ๐’Ž๐’š ๐’“๐’๐’๐’Ž...๐’–๐’ˆ๐’‰. Vivian sighed loudly as her room was still in the same mess as the shadow left it to be.

"Great now I have to clean up this mess, that shadow made of my room," she complained as she got up from the floor, dusting off any dirt on her nightwear before going over to her bed and started cleaning up her room.

Once she got everything clean and tidied up in her room, she went out of her room and before she fully step out of the room, she took one more glance around her room and closed the door behind her.

The puppy ran over to her, jumping up the couch, and cuddled beside her as she rests.

"Do you know anything about that shadow hmm, puppy?" Vivian asked the puppy as she tiredly cuddled it close to her in her arms as she laid down on the couch with her eyes closed.

"What am I saying, of course, you wouldn't know anything about that shadow~ Your just a puppy~ my favorite puppy hehe." She chuckled sheepishly at herself before falling into a small dreamland of hers. ๐‘ณ๐’†๐’• ๐’Ž๐’† ๐’‹๐’–๐’”๐’• ๐’“๐’†๐’”๐’• ๐’‡๐’๐’“ ๐’‚ ๐’˜๐’‰๐’Š๐’๐’† ๐’‚๐’๐’… ๐’Ž๐’‚๐’š๐’ƒ๐’† ๐‘ฐ'๐’๐’ ๐’˜๐’‚๐’Œ๐’† ๐’–๐’‘ ๐’๐’‚๐’•๐’†๐’“...
