Not the intro I wanted for The Wraith, but I hope it shows her well...

She definitely wasn't supposed to be here.

But, as she walked slowly across the bridge, one foot in front of the other, right at the edge, her shoes quietly stepping, she didn't care at all.

It was good to be out again. Mikaela would probably wake up with her feet killing her, a headache and a lot of stolen sleep hours, but who could ever tell?

That's how The Wraith worked: Reckless. Stubborn. And sometimes, yeah, stupid.

It took a certain level of stress for her to show up. Like the time Mika ruined a potion and then She had to come out that night and do one of her night patrols. Or the time a guy bumped her and didn't even apologize. She had to take it on her own hands by leaving her a note, carefully written with her right hand, telling him all the ways he sucked.

She hummed as she sat at the edge, her feet swinging over the void below her. Inside her mind, Mika screamed, terrified. She just smiled.

If any teacher or prefect saw her, from the distance and thanks to her tiny body, they'd only think that it was a big owl. Or just a random shadow.

She laughed. A shadow. That's what she was. Mikaela's shadow.

After all, she was the one who'd always been there. The one who knew her better. She knew who she loved and hated.

And how much sorrow can live in the eyes of a twelve year old kid.

She hummed. Tonight was boring. The last time she came out, she had seen a couple making out (disgusting) and almost saw a couple of prefects. Nothing bad.

But Mika had been stressed today. And yesterday. And, being fair, the whole week.

A glance at the clock. Ten minutes before the next round. Good.

Staring at the view, she wondered why Mikaela was like that. Why she let being a prodigy control her. Why she made it a part of her personality.

It wasn't bad. She shouldn't hide it.

But again, she was stupid. And someone needed to take care of her. And that someone was going to be Her.

She stayed there a few more minutes, thinking about stupid girls and their sorrow, when she looked at the clock again.

And, before the next prefect passed by, she vanished leaving no trace.

No one but a small hair tie. The one Mika used for her braid. The one she knew Mika would recognize immediately.

After all, she thought while she slipped through the rooftops of the castle, her father was right: It was about time for Mikaela to act like a normal child.

And nowadays, what kind of child doesn't break a few silly rules every now and then?

XXXXX"𝓖od, this is such a waste of time." Meiyu scoffed, trudging through the castle, her slippered feet mumbling any noise against the stone tiles. Fortunately, she had acquired another set of slippers, namely for when she had to do her patrols late into the night — too preoccupied throughout the day to observe the students in the area's under her jurisdiction. Though the title of prefect boosted the young girl's ego, it was rare for Meiyu to enforce the school rules, refusing to follow them herself.

It had been an entire façade.

A harsh breeze sent a chill down her spine, reminding the lioness that the Viaduct was truly, a horrid place to monitor. Amidst the day, she rarely occupied the area, quickly passing whilst strolling elsewhere, passing a few glances to ensure all was in order; not really giving a shit, if she had to be honest. Yet, she did not have it in her heart to let their Head of House down, namely due to the fact that Aiko had actually made an effort with the prefects, often checking up on them. Nevertheless, Meiyu had still been wary, conforming to the rulebook, the epitome of loser behaviour if she had to categorise it.

Transcending further onto the bridge with her arms folded, the wind blew against Meiyu's nightgown which payed homage to Victorian wear. She stifled a giggle at how ridiculously akin to a ghoul she appeared, minus the black monkey slippers she wore. Noting a figure sat at the edge of the bridge, Meiyu inched closer to the stranger, standing directly behind the figure which she presumed to be a first year in utter silence.

For a brief second, she considered whether it would be worth saying anything at all. Meiyu highly doubted that the girl would push herself off the edge, resulting into her morbid death — a rather amusing concept she could commend the latter for. Yet, with the serene atmosphere of the night, Meiyu opted to leave the girl be. Slowly turning on her heel once more, Meiyu marched off, her slippers concealing her footsteps the entire time, likely leaving the girl to never acknowledge she was there. Tiredness began to creep over the young girl, a small yawn omitting from her parted lips as she inched further away. Once she had approached part of the bridge which connected back to the castle, Meiyu stood still, loitering there for a few minutes, admiring the castle's architecture for once.

A few minutes later, the sound of a shuffle could be heard amongst the light breeze which carried an eerie chill. The curvatures of lips morphed into a small smirk at the thought of the first year scurrying away.

"If I catch you here again at this time, you would have wished you pushed yourself off the bridge." She called loudly enough for her to hear before strolling back into the castle, her mind fixated on the warmth of her bed.
