Lucy was still leaning against the wall outside of the gym when she heard a voice she knew. Her eyes widened slightly, and she pushed past Michelle, crashing into Sten for the second time in as many days. She didn't even have the time to be embarrassed by it this time. Instead, her hands gripped his arms, knowing that it was probably the only thing that kept her standing.

"Sten! Are you alright?" Of course, they thought that only the Kings had suffered, but there was no proof of that yet, and well... he looked pretty awful. His eyes were bloodshot, his skin pale, as if he'd been up all night. 

Her nerves spiked when his words actually sank into her. The Jester? Sten thought this had all been some elaborate plan made by the Jester? It seemed a little far-fetched. How on Earth could he (or she) have known that Michael would call a meeting with the Kings? More so, what if that meeting had been in the middle of the school somewhere that everyone could see their torture?

No, Lucy wasn't sure about this meeting being a part of the Jester's plans, but she did believe that the King's pain was his doing. Who else was there? Not Michael. He'd suffered too. It could be the Black King, but Lucy didn't think so. The Silver Jester's hacking skills had been speculated about because of his ability to change his status, and if anyone could get to the chip inside their heads, it was that player. 

But then that meant.. "He killed them... the Kings..." her voice broke halfway through the statement. "He could have... he could have killed [i]us[/i]." And that was all it took for the tears she'd been keeping back since the pain first started to come rushing down her cheeks. It was one thing to think about the Kings and their deaths. Sure, everyone thought it had been murder, but no one could be certain. No one could prove it. If the Jester had killed them... what kind of person did that make him? And... did that mean that her death would be coming soon?
