Closed Never You

[Tiziano Edogawa]

Tizi had somehow managed to escape the manor for the first time ever. Someone had let the wards down to admit Papa entry because he was no longer allowed in on his own and Tizi had made his escape before anyone could notice. Normally, Tizi wasn't allowed to be out on his own, probably for a lot of reasons, none of which he knew, but he didn't want to do any of his lessons today, mostly because he was so tired of them and it was nearly Christmas, so he didn't want to have to deal with them. That, however, meant he had no idea where he was going, since he'd never been outside of the manor on his own and once he'd gotten far enough away that he couldn't see the manor anymore, he realised his mistake. It was bad enough that he couldn't read the signs, now he had to worry about trying to find his way back. He bit his lip and looked around, trying to figure out where he was, with little success. Further down the road he saw a bunch of older kids on bikes and running heading towards him, but he wasn't worried about them at the moment, too preoccupied with trying to figure out where he was. In his haste to get out of the manor, Tizi had forgotten to change out of his robes, so he knew he looked very out of place against everything else. As he was paying more attention to his surroundings, the older kids were getting closer and now he could see that they seemed to be pointing at him. Deciding it might be best to disappear for a bit, Tizi quickly ducked into the first door he could find, which, as it turned out, was a station door leading to the train. He bit his lip for a moment, not sure if this was really the ideal thing to do, but it was holidays now, both for him and for muggles and he knew enough about muggle stuff to know he could take a train away from here. He hadn't quite gotten to the part about buying a ticket though and so he waited until no one was watching and jumped over the gates, realising too late that a guard had been watching him and he quickly rushed onto the platform and pulled his hoody up, jumping onto the train as the doors shut. That had been a spot of luck at least.​

When the train doors opened again, and Tizi thought he had gone far enough (he'd been on the train for an hour and a half by now) he stepped onto the platform again and looked around. Now he was even more lost and even worse, it seemed those muggle kids had followed him, though he couldn't say why. Looking over his shoulder as he did so, Tizi ran out of the station and realised he had somehow managed to get to muggle London, which meant he was further away from home than he had wanted to be. He knew by now his family would be looking for him and he knew they would find him soon, he just hoped it was soon enough. He didn't know what these muggles wanted, but he didn't think it would be good. Tizi didn't make it far out of the station though, because as soon as he got out, he was in the open, which meant there were no train guards or adults around to help him. He hadn't thought this through. The older kids, who he now realised were all boys, jumped onto their bikes and surrounded Tizi, left with nowhere to turn, he looked around helplessly at all boys and tried to appear stoic. "Hello," he said, but only got a sneer in return from the biggest boy. Tizi could already tell this wasn't going to end well.​

 

[Kiasora Cantore]

Kia was out and about, doing nothing in particular. She was bored and wanted away from the home and the stupid people there. She had spent all morning wondering London, looking through shops and knicking a few small items no one would ever miss. Her favorite was a little charm bracelet she had seen knocked down behind the other merchandise. If the people that worked there had been so careless as to forget it was there, then they certainly wouldn't mind that she had it. She admired her charm, sliding it over her wrist. It was a bit big, but it was adorable. She paused as she was walking, noticing a group of boys nearby that she knew. Ugh, those guys were idiots. She almost moved away, until she saw they were circling a boy.

She sighed. Well, she couldn't just leave him. She spotted a tree nearby and climbed up it. She scooted onto a steady branch and pulled her slingshot from her bag. She knew exactly how to handle this. She had a lot of spare bits of paper in her bag for this. Loading her cheeks, Kia let loose a barrage of slingshot spitballs onto the kids below. The bike boys were too stupid to look up and see her in the tree. After they were confused and yelling, she dropped from the tree. After a moment, she saw an opening and took it. She ran into the middle, grabbing the boy they'd surrounded and pulling him with her. She ran, ducking and dodging and pulling the kid through alleys until she was sure they'd gotten away from the boys. She came to a stop, breathing heavy and running a hand through her already tousled hair. "You okay?" She asked, struggling to catch her breath.
