Fear Academy (Started but still accepting)

Spoiler

Thanks for the love, y'all. I'll post this again in the DT for anyone who doesn't bother to read spoilers. (You know who you are.) Since, everyone else seems to want me gone, sure. I, creator of Heike Henke, give permission for her to be murdered. On 2 conditions: One, Luna gets to kill her. Two, very, very important,: Make her death cool. No tripping and hitting her head on a rock. Trinity may watch if, with her recent memory loss, she takes up Heike's job, if only temporarily. Oh, also, if Tick Seed ever brings Ian back, you have to do the backstory. Last post, here it goes.

Heike

Everything was falling to pieces. Anna was out for retaliation. Luna and Kai were hunting me down. Raven and Trinity were still alive (although at this point, Trinity was more of a minor annoyance that someone to kill right this second). Steve was just... Steve. And then their was my dad, here to take me back to hell behind closed doors.
That's what went through my head, as I was dragged back to my dorm room by my hair. As my father threw me in and slammed the door, I had made my decision. It was time for my last stand.
I reached beneath my bed, until my fingers brushed against rough wood. I grabbed the stake.
It ended here. I was bringing down as many monster's as I could.

We prepare for a battle. We all load up with assorted weapons. I carry with me a stake, dagger, and a set of three throwing knives. Those lying little murderers at that school will get what's coming to them. Heike leads us. When we get to the school, the group that was talking to me in the infirmery were all outside, even Raven, who was in a wheelchair. The attacks on them begin. I go after some random student, but they are faster than me and escape. I turn around just in time to see Luna finish off Heike, I'm not sure what entirely she did to her, just that I'm too late. I run over to Heike's side. She's gone, not breathing, nothing. Luna places a hand on my shoulder. "Trinity-" she starts. I jump up and grab her by her throat, holding her to the brick wall. I smirk as she gasps for her final few breathes of air. Right before she can pass out someone yanks me off of her. I'm slammed to the ground, Roxanne standing over me, her normally blue eye has turned red. She puts two fingers on my temple. Pain surges through me. I feel myself dying. Luna yells for her to stop, but when she doesn't, she lunges at her. I would make my escape now, but I am in too much pain to move. One of the guys carries me back into the woods. "It's alright." he says, "When you regain your strength, you will be our new leader."

Luna

This needed to end, and it needed to end now. Me along with several other people stood outside of the school together as Heike and her little band of idiots come from the trees. Trinity's with them, and it doesn't look like she's on our side. I take a deep breath. I don't know what's gonna happen to Trinity, but Hekie dies today. They attack. Keike comes straight for me. I don't waste anytime pulling my whip out and winding it around her neck. I yank hard and she goes flying to the ground. I slash at her, watching the rivulets of blood ooze from her now torn skin. Her screams only seemed to fuel my anger.

"Burn in hell." I plunge the stake through her heart and into the tree watching the life drain from her already eyes.

Trinity runs over and I place a hand on her shoulder. "Trinity-"

She jumps up and and grabs me by the throat and throwing up against the wall. I don't fight, and I don't panic. That never does anything good. She smirks at me like she thinks she's won when Roxanne comes up behind her and slams her to the ground. I take a deep breath and stand up to see Roxanne put two finger to Trinity's temple. She yowls in pain. I yell at her to stop, but she doesn't. I tackle her to the ground. "Are you crazy?"

"Let me go!" she screams. "She's not on our side anymore!"

"And we have no idea why!" I tell her. "If we kill her for no reason that makes us no better than them!"

I look up and see someone carrying Trinity off into the trees. No way in hell. I follow after them and head them off. "You're not going anywhere?"

He sets Trinity down and comes at me. I take him down in one foul swoop. Once I make sure he's dead I pick up Trinity and head back to school.



When I get back I head straight inside to the infirmary. Kai's there with a few other people and walks over when he sees me. I lay Trinity down in bed and strap her arms and legs down. "Something's wrong. Don't untie her until we know what's going on."

Is that alright? You said realistic teenage life. So this is what I came up with for a charectar

[center]Trinity[/center

I wake up tied to the hospital bed in the infirmery. Everyone who told me lies is here, I still don't have my memory back yet. I have to get out of here, before they kill me, like they did to Heike. I struggle and squirm under the ropes, but it's useless. On the bright side my voice has returned. After I give up trying to escape, I begin crying. Steve stands. "Trin?" he says gently. He begins to walk towards me. "Don't get too close." Luna warns him, her voice scratchy. I notice the bruises on her throat, and smirk knowing I caused them. Steve comes over and moves a stray hair from my face. "It pains me to see you like this, please, come back to us." he looks like he's about to cry. "You can't keep me here!" I scream, "The guys will come for me, and then you'll all be sorry!" "I'm not too worried about that." Luna says. "Shut up and release me!" I order. "Not until we know what's going on with you!" she says, "How'd they turn you evil!?" "They didn't, you tried to." I say through gritted teeth. They look confused. They all stand. "I want 24 hour surveillance on her." Luna tells them all. They all leave, except for Kai, who must have the first shift.

I look oer to my left, Raen is sitting there staring at me. She looks a bit pained as well. It's just a trick obviously. They want to turn me eil, but it will never happen. "What is your problem!?" I demand. "Nothing," she says defensively, "Just wishing my best friend wasn't trying to kill us all!" I roll my eyes at her, they're trying too hard, it'll never happen. I sleep the rest of the day off, regaining my strength. I wake up much later at night. Raven is sleeping. Roxanne, who must have the current shift, has dozed off. I'm still tied up.

I smile when I see Greg, one of the guys now under my control step in. He quickly unties me. I ducttape Roxanne's mouth shut and tie her to the chair without waking her. Then I ducttape Raven's mouth shut and sling her over my shoulder. We walk outside and find the rest of the guys waiting for us. We walk through the woods until we come upon a large cabin. Greg says we have many, but the people on campus have never seen this one. We head down to the basement, and I tie Raven to a pole. I'll deal with her in the morning, when she's awake. We all get to bed and I immediately fall asleep.

The next morning I go downstairs and find Raven just waking up. I give her a minute to realize what is going on. I let out a laugh as she looks at me, fear and sorrow visible on her face. I pull out a dagger. "This will teach them all." I don't hesitate to slash her across the cheeck, just as a warning of what is to come. I slit her throat, ever so slightly, just deep enough so it bleeds. I smirk with joy. Then I send the dagger through her chest. She will die without help soon, and she won't be getting it. Luna busts in. "You're too late!" I laugh. She runs over to Raven. "Not yet." she says, her voice returning to her. I lunge at her. I have her pinned to the floor. This ends now. I go to stab her in the chest with another one of my knives, but she gets out from under me and from my grasp on her. She takes the knife from my hand. I go towards her. She grabs me and turns us around so she has me to the wall. I fight with her for a minute, then I feel the sharp pain in my stomach. I look down, she has stabbed me. She gasps and covers her mouth while shaking her head. "I didn't-" Everything is fuzzy. The world is spinning and my senses are fading. I watch as Raven passes out, at least I know she doesn't have much longer. Luna throws each of us over a shoulder, and I black out.

I wake up back in the infirmery. My stomach is heavily bandaged. I find myself tied to the bed. I look up at the concerned faces. "What happened?" I ask rubbing my head. "Trin?!" Steve jumps up. "Yeah... Who else would I be? Did Heike get us again?" The looks of relief on their faces confuse me. "What-" I look over at Raven, and it all comes to me. How I attacked them, and tried to kill Raven. I notice Luna isn't in here, she probably feels bad, but she had to do it. Kai comes over and begins to untie me. "Stop!" I yell. He looks at me befuddled. "Leave me, I deserve to be tied up. Hell, I deserve to be killed for everything that's happened." They all share looks of concern with one another, and then Raven wakes up.

Raven

"Hey guys." I yawn, as if being kidnappe was normal. Of course, now, it really is. "How's Trin doing?"

"I'm fine, Raven, other than almost killing you and Luna and being tricked into thinking you guys betrayed me."

I'm shocked. The first thingthat pops into my head is, She's back, she's okay! Then I notice a hint of bitterness, a hint of slef-loathing in her voice, a voice I know all too well from inside my own head. "Trin, what's wrong?"

"What do you think? I almost killed you guys. I enjoyed trying to kill you. I actually believed those bastards! I felt... I felt like I was Heike."

I want to run to her, to hug her, but of course, I can't. Not anymore. Intead, I ay empaphetically, "Trin, you are not Heike. Heike's dead. You didn't do this to me." I jesture to my legs. "You didn't knock me out and try to kill me... what? Five times?"

Trinity's eyes fill with tears as she says, "But I did once. Once was enough."

"Trin, that wasn't your fault. You lost your memory. You had no idea what was real. You were confused. It wasn't your fault."

"It doesn't matter. I still almost killed you."

"Trin, its ok. Come on, let's get something to eat, ok? It'll be good to get some freh air, stretch our legs." I swear I wasn't even thinking when I said that, and honestly, I don't care, didn't mean to say that, but the room immeadiately grows tense, and I have to break the silence. "Come on Trin."

"Ok." She help me into my weelchair, and we are almost at the door when Steve stopped us, insisting he go with. Trinity agrees, and, always the gentleman, holds the door for us. He holds Trinity's hand and offers to puh my wheelchair, but I refuse. We go downto the hospital cafeteria, were the food is barely edible, but we're both starving. We both get a slice of pizza and soda, and Steve piles on piece after piece. When we're aout to head out, however, Trinity stops dead in her tracks as she sees on of Heike's henchmen across the room.

Raven says "Hey guys, how's Trin doing?" waking up. I feel the guilt grow worse. "I'm fine, Raven, other than almost killing you and Luna and being tricked into thinking you guys betrayed me." I cry. She looks shocked as if she can't believe I'm back. I can't believe anyone thinks that I actually deserve to live. We argue about it for a minute, but when she wants to go down to the cafeteria, I don't object. I owe her eveerything and more for what I did, even if she won't admit it. Kai finishes untying me and I help Raven into her wheelchair. It hurts to even breath, where Ms. Wenchester stabbed me. I have to suffer through this, for Raven. Steve comes with us and holds my hand. How is he not disgusted with me. Raven and Steve get pizza, I can't, too much garlic. I'm not sure I could keep it down anyway, even though I haven't eaten in days and I'm starving, I really can't. I buy a few packets of crackers and slowly eat them. I sit silently throughout lunch, not wanting to talk, not wanting to be here, not even wanting to live. We're about to leave the cafeteria when I freeze, one of Heike's, or should I say, my henchmen is standing on the other side of the room.

I tell Steve to make sure him and Raven get back to the room, after protests from both of them, they finally agree. The henchman approaches me. "Master?" he asks, obviously confused. "No! I won't let you trick me again! I will not hurt anyone here, you can't make me!" He is stunned, but quickly recovers. The room is empty, just us two and a few more henchmen by the door. "We'll just have to take care of them ourselves." He turns to leave. "Wait! Look if I go with you, just do what you want to me, just swear to me that you won't hurt them." I'm staring at the floor. "We have a deal." he says with a twisted smirk. He pulls out the ducttape and the rope. Normally I would back awway, fight, run, but this time it is to protect everyone. I don't resist as he ties me up, ducttapes my mouth shut, and blindfolds me. I feel him sling me over his shoulder chuckling. "That was easy, we thought we'd have to take you by force." We walk through the woods for multiple hours, longer than any trip so far. When we arrive at a very small cabin, completely concealed by trees to the point where you don't see it, unless you know it's here. He opens the door then slams it shut once everyone is inside. They bring me to the basement and into the darkest room which is hidden behind a door that is obscured with a bookcase, has another flight of stairs to a secret lower basement level. We descend and I find a tiny, dark, damp, cold room. I am untied, unblindfolded, and the ducttape is removed. They strip me to my underclothes and lock me in a small cage in the center of the room. They laugh as they exit, shutting me off from the world, and probably life all together. I curl up in a ball and lay on my side, my stomach is really hurting, and has started to bleed again, just a bit, but still bleeding. I close my eyes and shiver from the cold. After several hours I already feel myself getting sick.

The next morning I wake up extremely ill from this frozen hell. I wish I could just die quickly and painlessly, but after what I did to Raven and Ms. Wenchester, I deserve a lot worse than this. I try to keep warm any way I know how, but nothing works. I feel myself getting sicker by the hour, but no one comes to my aid. This is the fate I must accept, this is not even close to the punishment I should be recieving, so I should be thankful, however, I'm selfish and wish I could die quickly, but I know I cannot. Later that night I hear fighting upstairs, and familiar boices. I listen to the deaths of each of the henchmen, then I hear confusion. They are looking for me, even though I don't deserve to be rescued, I try to call for help, but my voice is gone completely. I listen to them search for hours, then eventually give up, and head back to campus. I know now that there is about a 0.000000000001% chance of my survival, and that's een too high of an estimate. They're gone, I'm here alone, sick, wounded, dying, and all with no way out. No way to escape to my freedom. I guess I'll just be left here to die, it's what I wanted anyway, there is still a small chance of escape, but it's highly unlikely; they know where the cabin is, but this room is so well hidden that even Ms. Wenchester and the headmaster wouldn't think of looking here. I feel the tears rolling down my cheeks as I curl back up into a ball and wait for either an unlikely rescue, or death.

Luna

Trinity was taken again. We found the cabin and take out what ever idiots are in there, but we have no idea where to look for her.

"Spread out," I say. "and look for anything unusual."

I walk along each wall knocking as I go, but as far as I can tell nothing's been tampered with. "Did anyone find anything?"

"Nothing." Kai shakes his head.

"Same here." Raven chimes in.

The few other people with us say the same thing too. I sigh and look around. Something catches my eye. I walk over to a misplaced carpet in a corner of the room. "Why is this here?"

"Bad decorating?" Kai joked.

Haha. Not funny. "It's like these idiots don't know how to do anything right."

I move the carpet out of the way and kneel down to touch floor. "There are horizontal lines on vertically lain floorboards."

"Man," Kai shakes his head. "these guys really are idiots."

"I don't follow." Raven looks at the floor.

"They made it more obvious where the entrance to the room is." Kai told her. "It could've gone easily unnoticed without the carpet unless it's a trap."

"Which they're not smart enough to do." I finish.

Now how does this open? There isn't a handle to just pull it open, so it must be automatic, which usually means remote. I sigh. "The floor opens automatically, which means there's probably there a remote for it."

"You mean this one?" Raven holds up a small broken looking piece of plastic.

Well that's nice. I look back down at floor boards. "Kai?"

He walks over. "Yea?"

"How hard do you thing these floor boards are?" I rub my foot over the surface.

"It's not real wood," Kai knelt down and touched the spot. "but it just depends on who made the - whoa!"

I raised my leg up to my side and brought my foot down on the spot in question. There was the sound of wires shorting out and something sparked as I penetrated to boards. I pulled my foot out as the boards fell down and slid off to the side. It revealed a two doors you'd find if you were going down to the basement. We opened those up and headed down the stairs where we found Trinity in a cage. I wish there was someone down here I could kick. She was sitting with her back against the cage and all she had on was underwear. She was probably freezing. I cut the lock off and stepped inside. Trinity looked up at me with numb eyes. Like she didn't know what was going on. She might be going into shock. Kia stepped forward and wrapped a giant blanket he's brought with and lifted her into his arms.

"Let's get you out of here." he kissed her temple just before she passed out.

Spoiler

For the next few day can we just let our characters chill? Let them get their heads on straight and have a little chill time? I think they would like that

After sitting here a while longer they come. Ms. Wenchester lets me out and the headmaster wraps me in a blanket in his arms. I feel immediate warmth, but not enough to keep my teeth from chattering. As we head back towards campus, I look up at Kai. My voice is just starting to come back, so it is barely audible when I tell him, "You should have left me there. I dont deserve to live." he looks shockes, but my wound had reopened and has bled a lot, so I black out before he can respond.

I wake up, still feeling sick, but better. I am wrapped in layers of blankets. It takes me a minute to get out of them. I lay in bed and look around at all the familiar faces, noticing that Ms. Wenchester is not here, nor is the headmaster. Raven looks at me. "So? You're back!? You're okay now!?" I find my voice has returned, though it's still a bit scratchy. "Yeah, I mean I'm okay for the most part." They all wear looks of relief and Steve comes over. We share a short kiss and he sits next to me on the bed. After a while I start feeling sicker. They don't know what I have, but regular medicine wasn't working, they brought in the expensive stuff. They give me some medicine and everything gets all weird looking. "Hey guys!" I giggle, "I loe you all so mujch!" After a while of this, my head eenttually clears, and I notice the wound on my stomach has been stitched up. A few minutes later Ms. Wenchester and the headmaster walk in beaming. Ms. Wenchester is holding something behind her back.

The headmaster speaks, "We both have good news for you guys! Luna," he gives her the floor. She pulls a flyer from behind her back. "We're doing something normal for once, we're having a homecoming dance on Saturday!" We all get a bit excited. Then she looks at us. It's Monday morning, the dance is Saturday night, there isn't much time to put this together. "Yeah by the way, you're all helping with set-up and everything. It'll give you something to do. Who wats to be in charge of decorations and food?" I like to cook, and decorating sounds fun, with some help of course. "I'll do it!" I pipe up. "That's the spirit!" Ms. Wenchester laughs. The headmaster looks up. "Oh and classes resume tomorrow." This is exciting! Steve, Raven, Roxanne, Ms. Wenchester, and the headmaster are my team. I will be doing decorating after class everyday until Thursday. Cooking will be done Friday evening and early Saturday. I tell them all my schedule and Stee hands me a notebook. I already start making some plans. "So what's our theme?"

Luna

With all of the chaos going on, Kai and I decided to give the kids something to look forward to. He came up with a dance. I could get do that. When we told everyone they got seriously excited. Kai called a quick assembly and waited for as the kids filed in and sat down. Kai stepped up to the podium. "Can I get your attention please?"

The mumbling and yelling and talking didn't stop, so I stepped forward. "I got this."

He moved back and let me step forward. "Excuse me!"

They kept going. Ok. They wanna play it like that? I leaned towards the mike, put my index finger and thumb to my lips, and blew. A high pitched whistle sounded from the speakers around the auditorium and they shut up then. I moved back to let Kai step in. "You're probably wondering why I called this assembly."

Murmurs and nods sounded throughout the room.

"Well," he continued. "with all of this craziness that's happened around here, I thought we could use something to take our mind off of the situation for a night of fun."

More nod and murmurs.

"I propose a school dance. What do you think?" he stood back and waited.

There was a long silence, then someone shouted, "Yea!"

Everybody started screaming and whopping at the idea. Kai looked back at me with a smile. I winked back at him. Once everyone had settled down Kai spoke.

"We don't have a theme and we also need help to plan and decorate the party. We can't have it if nobody helps though, so if you really want this dance you're going to have to show me, and if you have any ideas for the dance then that would be welcomed, mostly because we still don't have one and we need one for the dance. Stop by and talk to Ms. Wenchester or Trinity Evans about signing on to help. School also resumes tomorrow.That's all and you're dismissed."

As student and faculty alike began to file out I walk over to him as he turns and takes deep breath. "Well now Mr. Headmaster sir. What do we do now?"

Kai looks around before wrapping his arms around me and pulling me closer. "We go back to my place to wind down and have a little fun."

I like the sound of that. "Meet you there?"

He leans down for a quick peck on the lips and lets go. "Race you there."

I liked the sound of that too.

Name: Tessa (Tessi)
Gender: Female
Age: Around 16
Looks: around 5'5" Short blondish-brown hair, wears anything and everything.
Race: human duh!
Personality: She can light up a room and bring everyone a smile to their face and is also very random.
Up for love? sure why not?

After the assembly, a few more people sign up, not many, but it'll do. No one has an idea for a theme yet. We're going to have a meeting tomorrow with everyone who is going to help. We can decide then. At lunch, I sit with aven, but Steve is no where to be seen. Someone comes up from behind and covers my eyes. I feel the person move aaround me, but their hands stay in the way of my ision. I hear Stee's voice, "Keep them closed until I say so." He lets go of my eyes and I keep them closed for a nother minute. "Okay, now!" he says. I open them to find him standing on the table in front of me. He hols a bouqet of flowers, a heart shaped box of candy and he has on a shirt that reads, Trinity, will you go to homecoming with me!? I laugh. "Of course!" I pull him down and we share a long kiss. Then we walk back to the infirmery hand in hand. I'm so lucky to have Steve. I love him so much. He's perfect for me, we're perfect together. I look into his eyes. Suddenly he makes me glad I've lived, he makes my guilt eliviate itself, he gives my life meaning again. He is my everything, literally, he is what is keeping me alive.

Raven

Finally, we can get some rest. We certianly need it. I'm excited about homeoming, but Trinity and Steve are going together, and I haven't seen Domino in ages. He just... dropped off. I secretly wonder if Heike got him, that bitch. Or he might have just been scared away. I wouldn't blame him. I certainly don't want to be the third wheel, even though Steve and Trinity will probably let me tag along. That would b even more embarassing than when I witnessed their intamite kiss. I feel good for Trinity, don't get me wrong, but sometimes I wish I could have a boyfriend like Steve. Domino was great, but he just- disappeared. And Sarafine's gone, so of course I can't go with her. Wow, we're an island of misfit toys. I fall asleep with that thought, and dream of a really screwed-up version of Rudolph.

The next morning, I get ready for school, although I have to get up a little earlier now that I'm parapalegic. Going down the stairs was interesting to say the least. The campus doesn't have elevators, so Steve had to carry me while Trinity lugged the wheelchair downstairs. I'm so selfconcious about having to have help. They don't seem to mind, but I do. Its... humiliating, and everyone going down the staircase openly stares at us, some othem pointing, laughing, sneering. It's awful.

It's no better in first period, at least, util Luna comes in. Everyone is talking about us, whispering just loud enough for Trinity and I to hear. They aren't flattering in the least. They all die down, however, when Luna enters the room. All except for one girl, the same girl that asked why she sided with the vampires. This time, she piped up again, saying smarmily, "Why haven't you been fired yet?"

That starts other people off, who yell out: "Yeah, you killed a student! You're a murderer! You side with vamps!"

Luna, always calm, replies, "I killed Heike because he was harming other students and it didn't look like anyone else would intervene, an I had no choice."

"They aren't students, they're vamps!" One bigot shouts, but Luna seems to have not even have eard him.

"As I was saying, I killed them either in self-defense or to protect my students."

The same person cried out, "Heike was your student too!"

"End of discussion. Now,' she beginsher lesson, on some ancient mythological being or another. I can still here them whispering.

I get up and get ready for class, something I haven't done in a while. I grab everything and head out the door with Raven and Steve. The elevators are broken, so Steve carries Raven downstairs ahile I get to lug the wheelchair down. I don't mind really, but it would help if this thing was easier to close, but I keep telling myself it's for Raven, and I owe her much more than this. While we're on the stairs people are laughing and pointing and whispering. I want to perrsonally rip all of their throats out. Think calming thoughts. Anger managment is my current focus. When we're at the bottom and Raven can wheel herself, Steve puts an arm on my shoulder. "I know what you're thinking, just ignore them." he tries to calm me down, but of course he knows that they won't stop, ignoring them will just make it worse. I take a deep breath and clear my head.

When we get to class it's worse, worse than ever before. I'm gonna lose it! After Luna starts arguing with people it dies down a bit, but not much. I stand up in front of the class. "If anyone has anything to say, why don't you come say it to my face and we'll see how it ends for you!" I threaten. Screw anger management at this point. Ms. Wenchester comes up behind me and puts a hand on my shoulder. "Trinity calm down." she says gently. "No!" I scream, removing her hand from my shoulder, "I won't calm down! If you were in my shoes, would you?" I storm out of the room with tear-filled eyes. Steve tries to follow, but Ms. Wenchester makes him sit back down. I bust into the music room. Seriously do they ever have classes in here? I sit on the floor and cry my eyes out. When I can't cry anymore I get up and grab a guitar. I play for a while then I get an awesome idea; I want to start a band.

Chase

I think about the answer to Tatsel's question, remembering one face...

"Anna," I say, Pearl still behind me, "She did it. The only person that I remember is her."

It wasn't a big deal, but I sensed that Tatsel wanted to know more. I didn't say anything though and just keep silent. He started to get mad and I swallow, Pearl deciding to walk out, I sit on my bed and close the door behind me, "Why are you asking? Something wrong?"
