Lux? Sweet and innocent Lux? A week? So many questions. How did AJ miss that her friend had been missing? Although, it was normal to go days without actually seeing each other, but a week? Where had her head been? A zoned out expression took over her face.

Lux.

It was as if she were having an out of body experience. Her mind was so preoccupied that she didn't even hear that he had said eight fingers were up instead of three. "Yeah..." Was it all just now sinking in for her? Still, a million emotions flooded her, but terror wasn't one of them. Those spiders were going to get it.

Before long, the great hall was silent thanks to Quigley forcibly sushing them. Good grief, he was loud. YES. A plan. A plan of attack. They were going to get Lux, Cinna, Bunz, Noel back. Was there another missing student? It was hard to keep track.

Fire. Yes, that was good. Basilisks would be the perfect solution, but they had a small problem considering they had to add scent to the very old fangs that were used for the necklaces. The basilisk that used to live here was dead as a doornail. If he wasn't then he was lacking manners with the whole hoarding fangs thing.

"Peppermint oil?" She had heard it was a thing from her mom. She sprayed it around the baseboards at home sometimes.
