5 More Days

                                    

                                          
~2 days have passed since the plan~
~5 days until the Seven Walls group leaves~
~~~~~
                          
Emma sat in the library, reading all she could about the seven walls. She's been doing that since they discussed the plan and frankly, she's quite sick of it. She's been worried about everything lately, and not only that, but she was scared too. But of course, Emma is just way to stubborn to admit it to herself.
                          
She took a sigh of boredom as she repeated a regular thought in her mind.
"January 13th... January 13th... 5 days before everything changes forever."
                          
She wondered if it really would change the way she hoped. Whether she Ray and Yuugo could pull it off. But she make a promise that everything will work out. She told Gillian that she'd bring her to the human world soon so she can't have any doubt in her mind that can get in her way.
                          
The seven walls is a topic you could think endlessly on. So many things to wonder, but at the same time, there's nothing to wonder about.
A place that has nothing where everything exists. A place of night and day.
                          
A slight smile appeared on her lips out of nowhere for no particular reason. She didn't really know why, but she was still happy even though she was consumed by stress.
                          
She stood from her seat in the library and stretched her arms out.
                          
"We can do this!" She said to herself.
                          
Then.. She remembered something she wanted to do. She dashed out of the library.

Ray was almost finished his shower. It was warm and soothing. The hot water beat against his back as he relaxed.
                          
The seven walls had also consumed his mind and thoughts so it was nice to let the hot water drain it out of his system. In fact, he was thinking about telling Emma to do the same. Of course, he knew she's probably overwhelmed by stress just as much.
                          
After a while, he finally decided it was about time to get out. When he got out, he walked over to get dressed but his cloak was there in place of his shirt.
                          
"Huh? Where'd my shirt go..?"
He put on his pants-which remained untouched- and his cloak and made his way to the laundry room, wondering if that's where it went.
                          
To no surprise, it wasn't there. His first suspect was Emma and her usual jokes again. He checked her room but she wasn't there, which was strange.
                          
He checked the library, infirmary, kitchen, dining room, Yuugo's room, but she was nowhere to be found.
                          
Then, as he was walking down the hallways, he stopped infront of a door. A room that he knew she would be in. His room.
                          
He listened for any sound inside, but  only heard little ruffles through the door. He tried to quietly turn the door knob and just like he thought, it was locked.
                          
He decided to wait outside his room to confront her when she comes out.
                          
Soon enough, she opened the door quietly, trying to be sneaky, and froze when she saw Ray right in front of her.
                          
His gaze almost petrified her. Her eyes looked behind her as if she was holding something behind her back.
                          
She stayed still until she tried to run but her held onto her shoulders before she could escape and set her onto his bed and stood infront of her.
                          
He looked quite annoyed and had his arms crossed.
"I need answers."
"..."
He leaned in, "why did you steal my shirt?"
                          
He glanced at the white fabric behind her back.
"I-I... you can't see it yet!" She hesitated. For some reason, she got flustered really fast.
"Huh- Emma! That's my shirt, I need it! What'd you do?"
