Fear Academy (Started but still accepting)

Luna

As I walked into class most people quieted down except for one.

"Why haven't you been fired yet?" some girl said smarmily.

This sets other students off. "Yeah, you killed a student! You're a murderer! You side with vamps!"

I calmly reply, "I killed Heike because she was harming other students, it didn't look like anyone else would intervene, and I had no choice."

"They aren't students, they're vamps!" One bigot shouts, but I seem to have not even have heard him.

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

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

I walked up one her. She pulled back in her seat as if she was trying to get away from me. "Yes, she was my student. She also tried to shove a knife through my heart."

The look of shock on her face was priceless. "Bet you didn't know that, did you?"

She swallows and shakes her hand. "And I bet you didn't know that Heike's the reason Raven's in a wheelchair."

Her eyes popped wide. I walked back to the front of the class and turned to look at them.

"If you wanna judge make sure you have the whole story." I stared her down. "And about those 'vamps' you hate so much, they were out there trying to defend all of you ungrateful brats."

They didn't have anything to say about that. Except that one girl. "Why are you defending them?"

"Why would anyone defend a a woman being beaten by her husband?" I counter. "I do it because it's the right thing to do regardless of whether she's Muslim or a vampire."

"But-"

"I've explained time and time again I don't judge or discriminate, so don't ask me questions you should already know the answers to." I interrupt.

She opened her mouth again. Ugh. "But-

"End of discussion. Now."

As I begin the lesson I still hear whispers. "If you don't quiet down now I'll have you all write a five page essay on Zeus and his roll as king of olympus."

They shut up pretty fast. I smile. "Now, turn to chapter three in your books."

It was quiet for most of the class until kids started whispering again. Trinity blew up.

"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!" she growls.

I walk over and put a hand on her shoulder. "Trinity, calm down."

"No!" she screams and moves my hand off her shoulder. ""I won't calm down! If you were in my shoes, would you?"

Before I can answer, she bolts from class without warning. Steve tried to follow, but I stop him. "Give her a chance to cool down and think for a while."

And to answer her question, I don't know if I could. Would you?

Tatsel "Morpheus" Lunatone

I clenched my fist. Anna was worse than I was, always cause more trouble than I ever was. After a moment, I relaxed my fist. "I was concerned about you. As your roommate, I should know what happened to you. I was told that you were attacked and it burned me up that someone did it to you while I was out and about." I didn't feel that Chase was ready to know the truth about me. Either way, he was still my claim and other vampires had no right to attack a vampire's claim. If someone attacks Chase again, I'd have to rip the person's head off.
Chase gave me a look that screamed suspicious. "Tatsel, what's wrong?"
I sighed. "It's complicated, Chase. It's very complicated."

I skip my classes until lunch. I head to the cafeteria and eeryone is laughing again. I try to tune them out. I get my small lunch, I still can't hold much down, and sit at our table with Raven and Steve. ""How are you now?" Raven asks. "Fine, I'm sorry I just blew up before I just lost it. Guys, I hae an idea.'' I say with a smile. "What?!" Steve asks. "I want to start a band." They look at each other. "I want to be the singer. So who can play what instrument? If absolutely necessary I can play something to." I sit back, hopefulness in my eyes, as I wait for them to respond.

Raven

"Um.. I can sort of play piano, or keyoard, I guess." I say self-conciously, eyes cast dowward.

"Cool." Trinity starts, "When did you learn to do that?"

"My mom made me when I was little. She thought that it would make me a lady." I say, rolling my eyes.

"Oh, well, at least you can use it now." She says cheerily, always the optimist.

"Um," Steve inturrupts, also somewhat self-concious, "I play drums. I was in a band before I went here."

"Awesome!" Trinity says, " I can sing and play guitar. Now we just nee a bassist..."

We look around the lunchroom, but see no one immeadiately. "Hey, I can put some flyers up for audtions to be the bassist on the schools' bullitin boards. Or maye Luna plays..."

"Yeah, that's a great idea! Let's go over there after claases end today." Trinity exclaims, and both Steve and I nod our agreement.



The net few classes whisk by, and soon I am in last period. Unfortunately, that last class seemed to last a millenium. The last five minutes were agony. As soon as the bell rang, I rushed out the door and went straight to Luna's classroom, where Steve and Trinity are already waiting in the doorway.

They walk in and I roll, and she greets us with a genuine smile ad a shuffling of papers. "Hey. What's up?"

"Well," Trinity and I say at the same time, "Do you happen to play bass?"

Luna

School had just ended and I was putting up graded papers when Raven came rolling in with Trinity and Steve not far behind. I smile at them as they walk up to my desk.

"Hey, what's up?" I put the papers in a nilla folder and then in my folder.

"Well," Trinity and Raven say at the same time, "Do you happen to play bass?"

That catches me by surprise. "Do I play Bass? Yes. I play almost every instrument imaginable. Why do you ask?"

"We're starting a band and we need a Bass player." Trinity answers.

"And you want me to fill the spot in?" I raise an eyebrow.

"Please?" Trinity tries the puppy dog eyes.

I made that buzzing sound you hear at a basketball game and held my up. "Stop it right there. My sister tried that look on me when we were kids and it never worked."

"Oh c'mon," she jumped up and down. "do it!"

"I'm sorry, but i'll have to-"

Just then my phone went off at the end of the desk. I looked at it. They looked. The name in the screen read Kai's. Are you kidding me!? Trinity swiped it up before I could and looked at it with a smile. "Kai? As in, Kai headmaster of this school and your boss Kai?"

I glared. "I don't know what you're talking about."

Trinity raised an eyebrow. "Oh really?"

She answered the phone and put is on speaker. Nooo!!

"Hey," Kai's voice came through. "My place again? Last night was fun, and guess what? I brought more chocolate covered strawberries and and chocolate whipped cream."

I buried my face in my hands as they all started laughing at me.

"What was that?" Kai asks.

"Us finding our new bass player!!" Trinity cheers.

Steve high fives Raven and they both smile wide. Kai swears. "Trinity?"

"Yea..." Trinity laughs. "You should probably wait for her to speak before you start talking about whipped cream and strawberries."

Kai sighs. "Dually noted, now scat. We adults have things to discuss."

"Like where to put the whipped cream?" Raven snickered.

Steve joined her in snickers as Trinity hands me my phone. "Come one guys. Let's go. And thanks Headmaster!"

"It was my pleasure." Kai says sarcastically.

They all head out of the room as I turn to shut down my computer. Trinity holds back and turns to give me this giant cheesy smile and an even cheesier wave.

"See ya later Bass player!" she disappears.

I sigh and Kai speaks. "So...My place tonight."

I shake my head and smile. "I get first go at the whipped cream."

We've got our bassist! Sure I probably shouldn't have gravbed her phone when the headmaster xalled, but I'm surw shell get over it. What I didnt need ti hear was what he had to aay to her. Gross! Whatever. I grab my laptop and find sheet music for each if the instruments we have in tye group forneaxh sonf I pick. It was unanymous that we wiuld be a rock group, abd I was put in charge of music. After I ger the sheet music, I head down to the music room where we are supossed to meet uo for our first rehersal. I know I'm really early, but I want to practice by myself for a bit first.

After I go through all the songs I picked and play/sing them all at least once, everyone starts to come in, mid-way through "Lights" by Journey "Okay guys, lets get to work!" I say, handing out their sheet music to them.

Spoiler

Sorry my spelling sucks! Im on my ipods tiny screen trying to type because my computer is out and the letters are so small!!!!

Luna

I was the second person to show up for practice in the choir room. I was hoping to be the first person here so I could warm up, but Trinity was already there. She was standing at the piano with her head bent over sheet music. I walked up to her. "Hey."

She looked up at me and smiled. "Hey."

She went right back to the sheet music. I took a seat at the piano and began playing a song that's been stuck in my head all day. I went over to the guitars and began tuning them. After I finished that I pulled out my iPod and listened to music while I waited for Raven and Steve showed up. Half way through "Ehu girl" I hear Trinity speak up. "Okay guys, lets get to work!"

I stand up and walk over to the group as she hands us all sheet music. Time to get down to buisness.



I don't do anything fancy, I just played the music she gave. The music she picked was ok, but I liked mine with a little more kick to it. We played a few more songs and the took a break. They all left to get lunch while I stayed behind. I hooked my iPod up to to the iHome and put it on "The Chasm" by Flyleaf and played lead guitar while singing. I loved singing Flyleaf songs. Something about them brought out the fire in my soul.

"That was great." someone said behind me. I turned to see an unfamiliar student standing by the piano.

He has shaggy blonde hair and hazel eyes. He was skinny and a little shorter than me. I stared at him for a moment. "Thanks."

"My name's Ezra." he said.

"My name's Luna." I say with a smile and hold my hand out. "You don't have a weak hand shake do you? I hate that in a guys."

He steps forward and takes my hand in a firm grip. I smile. "It's nice to meet you, and I like your name."

"Thanks," he smiles back. "I like you name too."

He looks me over and nods to himself. I guess he approves. "Well, I guess i'll see you later."

I let go of his hand. "See you around."

He takes his leave. "Keep on rockin'"

Then he's gone. I go over to my iPod and put on "Heavy Prey" and let loose.

Spoiler

You should look this music video upon YouTube, it's for Underworld:Awakening, and it's awesome!!I don't know if this counts as ripping off a Flyleaf song, so if it does then just tell me and i'll edit my post

I took a deep breath to center myself and-

"Wow," came Trinity's voice. "you play a hell of a lot better than you lead on, and you have an amazing voice."

I looked up to see Trinity, Raven, and Steve standing there. Raven and Steve's jaws were on the floor and Trinity had an eyebrow raised.

"I'm Luna's twin sister?" I tried.

"Ha," Raven laughed. "You don't have a twin sister."

"She doesn't?" another voice from behind them said.

They moved out of the way, and wouldn't you know it,there my heavily pregnant twin sister stood with a giant smile on her face. I put the electric guitar down and ran to give her a hug. "Lini!"

I showered her in kisses. I was so happy to see her!! She hugged me tightly."How's my big sis doing?"

"Better now that you're here." I smile. "Where's Keo at?"

"He's off talking with his twin brother." she said in a matter of fact tone. "Duh idiot. Him and Kai are probably gossiping about us right now."

"Probably." I nod. "Guys, this Is my twin sister Lini. Lini, this is Trinity, Raven, and Steve."

One by one they shook her hand. Lini smiled. "Hi, it's nice to meet you."

"Enough of that. you're pregnant and you didn't tell me?" I glare. "This is why wouldn't take any of my calls isn't it?"

"Yes," she admitted. "I wanted it to be a surprise."

"Keo's probably boasting to Kai about it too." I laugh. "How he got you before Kai got me."

"Yea," Lini nods. "so how far along are you?"

Damn. I turn to see the kids staring at me with their jaws dropped to the floor. I suggested we find a more private place to talk.

Spoiler

P.S. You should also look up The Chasm too. It's awesome!!

I LOVE Flyleaf too! My favorite is "Cassie".

I like that song too. Have you heard "The Chasm"? It's freaking awesome!!

Not to interrupt your conversation, but can we get bak to the story please?

Why aren't you or somebody else already posting? I was excited to see the next post and I find it's not even a post.

Roxanne
I look around smiling at all the rukus going on while everyone sets up for the dance. I watch as Tatsel crosses my path and I keep watching while he walks away a look of affection in my eyes for the first time in awhile. "We see you looking at him, don't be shy come on tell us." ii look over startled by the approach of Trinity, Raven, and Steve to my surprise. "Spill what I don't know what you're talking about?" I look down at my hands and start to mess around with them inspecting ech hand carefully till I couldn't stand it much longer,"Ok fine maybe there is a little something so what?!" I say and see they're all smiling and giggling softly as they wttch my face turn a soft red.

Hi just thought I'd re enter into this thing and drag someone else in with me as well since I've been gone for awhile. hhope this is ok with you though Redfang.

We breeze through our first rehersal. Raven, Steve, and I had a great time! I'm not so sure about Ms. Wenchester, she didn't seem like she was enjoying herself too much. We go to get lunch, but Ms. Wenchester stays behind. We talk about the band while we eat. When we head back to the music room, Ms. Wenchester is playing and singing a song I've never even heard of. I'm not into that kind of music, I like classic rock and 80's-early 2000's pop. None the less, she's still good. She introduces us to her pregnant twin sister who surprises her. She seems nice. We all go to show her around campus. Then we meet Kai's twin brother. Ay! Too many people that look alike in one room for me! I head back to our room in the infirmery with Raven, thankfully they fixed the elevator. We sit and talk for a while and Steve comes in. "I want us to play at the dance. Just a couple songs, but I wanna do it." They look at each other and nod back at me. "We just have to see if Luna's up for it." Steve reminds me. "So we'll just bring it up tomorrow. You saw how fast we all got those songs down today. We'll just practice them a bit more."
