---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In a city where havoc is quick to strike, it's not rare to find strange beings. Monsters and other life threatening creatures exist to take over, but somehow they only reside in that one city.
World City holds many citizens. The only reason they are all still alive and walking is due to the protection of a certain duo. Of course, they may not be the first you would call on for help.
Ludwig stared in utter disbelief at the still sleeping tall silverette and the light blonde, almost white, haired child, who was inhaling breakfast like she hadn't eaten in days. The blonde man knew all too well though that she was nowhere near to being a child and she definitely wasn't starved considering all the food she eats in a day. As for the other, serious as could be and could care less for others depending on their situation and who they are. He wondered why she was sleeping in so late today of all days for she was always up before either him or her partner.
"Vake up already und stop gorging yourself, dummkopfs!" Ludwig's voice boomed through the room, making the small girl stop mid-bite into a mini-pie, fork stuck in her mouth with a surprised look on her face.
"Goo't. Now that I have Tereza'a attention... MARIA."
"I'm up, I'm up, imbecile," Maria groaned, sitting up off the couch and running a hand through her hair to put it back into place.
Tereza was practically bouncing in her seat while she finished off her breakfast. "Good morning, Maria~! you slept well, da? You slept long and late enough. There's breakfast waiting for you in the kitchen, I made sure that I didn't eat it this time."
"Danke," Maria muttered, flopping back onto the couch and burying her face in the pillow.
Ludwig frowned. "Don't you dare think about falling back asleep und don't even plan on going to get more food. You both have a mission request today."
Maria mumbled something uncomprehensable into the pillow, a few German profanities barely heard, and rolled over onto her side. "Vhat is it that 've have today, imbecile?"
"You are 'vanted to infiltrate the school. Something odd has been happening there," Ludwig stated. He was about to open his mouth to say something again but stopped and made a face seeing that Maria fell asleep again and Tereza was rambling on about how she's never been to a school and how the markers smelled like candy. He simply shook his head, knowing there was nothing else to be said. "You'll leave in an hour. Don't disappoint this time, angels."
'Angels'?
In an hours time, the two girls were on their way to school in a shiny car with Maria as the driver. Tereza was sitting in the passenger seat, tugging at her skirt. "Why did I have to wear a skirt? They feel awkward."
Maria was was wearing black dress pants and a regular white button-up. "Because. You have the figure und size for it. Plus, I don't vear any kind of skirt. I don't like how they look on me. They look fine on you," thinking for a moment, silence filled the car again briefly. "Just don't mess this up. Ludwig is bad enough vhen he's giving us orders."
"But he's your older brother, Maria! You shouldn't be disrespectful to him like that," Tereza responded. She looked around outside again and started jumping in her seat. "Oh, look! Is that the school? It's really big!"
Cruising straight into a parking space immediately, the two stepped out of the car and looked around. Tereza was intrigued and Maria looked quite bored. "Alright, Let's get this done und over vith," the silverette said.
Upon entering the building all eyes were on the pair. Most males had gazes fixated on Maria for various reasons, mostly for her figure and large chest size, and others that were more curious watched Tereza with raised brows, wondering if she were really old enough for high school.
"Ah~! Bonjour, mademoiselles~" a heavy French accent escaped the gathering crowd. "Welcome to our school~" a French man followed the accent, squirming his way out to greet the pair. The blue-eyed blonde with light stubble bowed deeply to the girls. They raised their brows. Quite plain looking other than his personality. The crowd went away when he made his appearance, apparently due to his flirting ways, he gained a few good opposers to his style.
He straightened himself up with a light smile that quickly disappeared. Blinking in confusion for a moment, a bright smile broke out. "You are 'ZE Maria, non? Ahhhh, bonjour, mon cher, I 'ave dreamed of this day of finally meeting vous," the blonde carefully took her hand in his, bowing down again and lightly brushing his lips on the back of her hand. "Francis Bonnefoy at votre service, cheri~" he looked up at her with a smile.
"Hey you! Don't touch Maria, can't you see she obviously didn't like it? And I'm here, too, mister!" Tereza fumed and pouted.
Maria, on the other hand, was busy processing the moment while she stared at the man in front of her. A light blush covered her face as she quickly retreated her hand away from him. "Right then. Danke for the velcome, Francis. Er... How do you know of us?"
Francis chuckled and stood straight again. "Why, of course I would know of vous. I am in love wi'z you, you should know~"
Maria stared again before looking at Tereza. "So. Do you remember vhat 've vere supposed to do here again?"
Francis dramatically clutched his heart and dropped to the ground in a comedic fashion with a lone spotlight shining down on him while the girls continued off on their own.
Tereza shook her head. "I think Ludwig said something about looking out for odd things going on here."
"Ah! You mean 'ze ghost sightings?" Francis said, immediately picking himself back up off the ground and brushing himself off.
Maria glanced over with a raised brow. "You know of vhat has been happening here?"
"Well, of course, I do attend this school," Francis replied. "But oui, I know just rumors of what 'as been 'appening."
Maria and Tereza stayed silent for a moment, waiting for Francis to tell what he knows. "...vell... Aren't you going to tell us?" the silverette asked.
"Oh oui~! Though... Not wi'zout payment~"
Maria rolled her eyes. "Fine, vhat is it that you vant for the information?"
"oooh... No'zing in particular. Per'aps, just a small little date wi'z ma belle~?" The blonde smiled innocently with full sincerity in his voice.
Tereza was about to say something until Maria covered her mouth to stop her, knowing she'd go all out. "Ve'll talk about the date. Now tell us vhat you know."
"Oui, oui, I'll spill," Francis said. "But not 'ere. It is too dangerous 'ere." he turned on his heel and started to walk off down the hall.
Maria released Tereza who looked up at her former holder. "Hey, Maria, should we really trust him? He's kinda creepy. And I don't like how he looks at you."
The silverette simply waved her hand in dismissal. "Vell there's no one else und he seems pretty sure that he knows vhat he's talking about. Now come on before we lose our source of information."
And with that, the two followed down the path after Francis.
After closing the door behind him, Francis turned back to the girls. The room they were in was empty enough and looked like it used to be an old practice room for music students. They didn't have to worry for intruders, though, since the music wing relocated years before.
"Alright, tell us vhat you know," Maria said impatiently. She glanced over at Tereza who was staring out the window watching other students play out in the courtyard.
"Like I said, there 'ave been ghost sighting around the school," Francis started with a sigh. "I 'ave tried to look into it myself but... Well, it is quite difficult. 'Zey will come et terrorize 'ze school for awhile zen leave almost immediately wi'z no explanation or trace."
"Do you know around vhen that the ghosts appear?"
"Zat is 'ze zing. It changes every day. 'zough lately 'zey have been coming during 'ze after school times."
"That is all 've need to know. Ve'll stay today und keep an eye out for them," Maria looked back over at Tereza. "Tereza. Get ready for a long day," she looked back at Francis and pointed at him. "und you. You vill help us, since 've're starting to get suspicious of you."
Francis laughed and smiled. "You are too funny, mon cher. There is no need to suspect me to be be'ind 'zis. Zough since you 'ave already said it so, I will be 'appy to accompany you today~"
Maria stared and huffed, looking away. "Goo't. Ve'll meet back here after classes end, then."
