Chapter 13:

Unsettling Feelings

Fangs and Facades


Yuna and Mika shared nervous glances as Akira left the auditorium. Both of them felt uneasy and unsettled; they couldn't shake off the feeling that something terrible was about to happen. As they stood in line for the bathroom, Mika grabbed Yuna's hand tight and squeezed it with a sense of urgency. She seemed on edge, as though ready to spring into action at a moment's notice.

"i need to find Saori..." Yuna said under her breath, looking around the crowded hallway as she pulled her cell phone from her pocket.

Her fingers trembled as she tapped in Saori's number. She hadn't expected to feel such a wave of worry for her friend after only knowing her for only a few hours yesterday.

The phone rang, and Yuna felt a thrill rush through her body as she heard Saori's voice on the other end . "Hello?" Saori said quietly over the line. Yuna recognized her voice right away. There was a hint of strain in her voice that made her pause before speaking again.

"Saori, we need to talk," Yuna said urgently, her voice shaking with anxiety. "Mika and I are really worried about what's going on in town."

Saori's voice was low and urgent on the other end of the line. "I'm glad you called, Yuna," she said. "I think there's something going on in this town, and I need to tell you both about it. Can you meet me at the park in an hour?"

Yuna felt a sense of relief wash over her. At least Saori was taking this seriously. "Of course," Yuna replied, her voice filled with determination. "We'll be there."

As they hung up, Mika turned to Yuna, her expression filled with concern. "What's going on?" she asked.

"I don't know," Yuna replied. "But we're going to find out together."
