Spoiler: Stuff that's important.... Er the reminders? 

Spoiler: Intro 

You are part human and part something else (or full human), living a perfectly mundane "human" life, or as human as you could get. You have school, a part-time job (probably), friends (probably), a pet (probably), and you're just peachy. It was a normal Friday night, or as normal as Friday nights can get around ten in the evening.

The house was empty except for you, since your guardians had left or you were living alone. You were surfing the internet, just playing around, doing absolutely nothing. Some were possibly lounging about in Facebook, others were in their blogs, some were watching vids others were probably jerking off to porn. :V (I found it amusing. Eh.. Bad me. So crude. very insane. Much like. )

Then all of a sudden, there was a soft Ting!! from your desktop. Opening it, you see a letter from a Mr. Prince-Epal, and it says urgent. But it's nothing more than a congratulation letter to a school you never enrolled for; an elementary school you never even knew existed. It read:

Dear Mr/Ms (Your Character's Name),

I would like to congratulate you for being able to pass Regin Elementary School, the most exclusive school in the country. I would like to inform you that class starts at exactly XX hours from now. Please don't forget to pack your lunch and be ready by that designated time.

I hope you enjoy your eternal stay!

Sincerely,
Mr. Prince-Epal (School Director)


Closing the tab, you sat there, either perplexed, annoyed, bored or all three. You settled in your seat just as the doorbell rang.

Good! It must be the delivery man, or the pizza man, or your boyfriend/girlfriend. Good, good! Just in time too. Putting on a more appropriate attire, you scrambled down to meet whoever was at the door. You didn't notice how the lights had dimmed, nor did you notice how dark it was outside, no. You rushed down, and swung the door open.

But all you saw was a pair of red eyes glaring at you before the world turned black.

Spoiler: Plot 

The characters would wake up in an old, dilapidated, two-story elementary school, to a small form crying in the corner. The said form was glowing a light bluish color before the darkness ate it, leaving behind a small parchment on the floor.

Just the, a voice rang out, just a few feet from the room you and some others were in. The voice was haunting, with uneven pitch that had a rasp to it, like the man never stopped talking. He sounded like a crazy person, you knew. An ambling shadow crossed the door and you get a glimpse of the half-rotting corpse that was wandering around.

One of its eyes was out of its socket and its patchy Grey hair had dried blood stuck on it. It's face was a gross mix of puke-green and flesh tone and it had blood dripping past its lips down to the lapels of its bloodstained, dirty shirt. It's pants were ripped and its feet were twisted at an awkward angle. But what caught your attention was those bloody hands. Some of its fingers were stubbed, revealing bone. A few didn't have nails on them. The sought was nauseating. Its red eyes, bloodshot and unfocused, lolled around with its crooked neck as it ambled along, the haunting voice echoing around.

"Oh ChIldREn~ ComE oUt~ iT's TimE FoR SChOol~" You waited for him to get past before moving, inching close the parchment the girl left behind, you silently read the childish scribble of what was once a young child.

I don want to tern into the shadows. Theill maek me eat other kids. I don wanna. I dun--

The writing was too stained with tears to be of much use.

You rush outside, mindful of the wandering thing, trying to find a way out, when a small giggle stops you. It was a high pitched, squealy type giggle that children have. Slowly, you turn around, blood cold, and find yourself face to face with angry red eyes. You feel your life flashing before your very eyes as you escape whatever it is, only to find another one glaring at you from the shadows.

You have to run.

You have to hide.

You glance up in time just to see an announcement board, the kind they put reminders on, and see twenty names on the list. On each list is a picture or a student number. You recognize one of the children in the picture as the crying child from earlier. An insane giggle sounded from outside the hall and you gulped in fear.

You could be killed, But there was one thing for sure, you need to know the clues to get out, and time is running low. How long will you survive? In a prison of death and hatred, is there something deeper than the deep ocean you and the others are treading? Or worse.

Are you just going to be another victim of the feeders?

Spoiler: Approved Characters 

Spoiler: AyJay's Characters 

Spoiler: Axel Solace 

Name:
Axel Solace

Age:
16

Race:
Half-Dragon

Gender:
Male

Sexuality:
Pansexual

Personality:
He's the kind of person to think while acting. This often leads him to get into accidents and the like. Usually, his patience is very long, unless you touch his height, his "femininity", his abilities or his sister. He nay not act like it, but he's the kind of martyr who'd distract the enemy so you could run. Note, he's not dumb, but he isn't too sharp either.

Appearance:

Spoiler: Axel Solace 

Axel has silvery locks and light purple eyes. He often has a smile on his face and despite being only a few inches taller than his sister, is still pretty short for a guy. Usually, his hair is messed up because of his habit of messing up his hair every fifteen minutes when he's scared or nervous.

Brief History:
Axel, and his twin sister Axen, were born into a Dragon clan within the human society. It wasn't very hard for them to fit in, but because they weren't pure dragons, they couldn't shift into their dragon forms yet. This made the twins both sad and angry. Sad because they wanted to be able to fit in with their clan and angry because they couldn't do it. They weren't bad kids, but Axel was pretty known as The cute shortie who could chew your head and feed you to his pets.. He has a reputation of violence, but one glance wouldn't tell you that, not with all his tripping and generally being playful and hot headed.

Other:
No, he can't spew fire like most dragons, but he can breathe out ice and frost. Also, he can coat his body with ice to protect himself. Another plus would be his ability to heal other's injuries. Sadly, either power exhausts him so much and he can't heal his injuries at all.

Spoiler: Axen Solace 

Name:
Axen Solace

Age:
16

Race:
Half-Dragon

Sexuality:
Heterosexual

Personality:
Sarcastic, annoying, playful, hot headed, smart and stubborn. These are the characteristics of her personality. She's already a strong individual who likes to give terrible first impressions. However, once it passes, you'd see that she's actually a pretty sweet girl.

Appearance:

Spoiler: Axen Solace 

Axen is a small girl and she won't deny it. Just like her brother, her hair is silvery, but her eyes are a deeper shade of purple. She's the type to glare and run her mouth at first before actually caring. She's also painfully sarcastic at times and she has a really short, explosive fuse.

Brief History:
Axen, and her twin brother Axel, were born into a Dragon clan within the human society. It wasn't very hard for them to fit in, but because they weren't pure dragons, they couldn't shift into their dragon forms yet. This made the twins both sad and angry. Sad because they wanted to be able to fit in with their clan and angry because they couldn't do it. As the more reckless one, Axen got into fights with delinquents and often showed them their place. Once, they even begged her to be the leader. She declined of course, since she said that "Leading is not my thing. Go find someone else". She's not exactly straightforward, but her words also pack a punch.

Other:
If her brother was ice, then she was a blizzard. Her abilities and setbacks are similar to her brother, which is why the twins are a good team.

Spoiler: Minkasha's Character 

Name: Sophie Solace

Age: 34 - though still looks fresh into her 20s

Race: Diluted Fay (The blood has been watered down after generations of Human mates, however the Fay blood still shows in her beauty, unique features, very long lifespan (her great-great-great-parents are still around and youthful) and gentle flowery smell that is her welcoming body scent)

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Bisexual, curious in her youth but now happily married to a man. Much more inclined to be attracted to men, especially strong men.

Personality: Sophie is a very soft woman. She speaks with a gentle voice and tries her best to be a mother to everyone, showing physical signs of affection to all youths – even if it’s not wanted. Sophie has come to learn that someone can only kill cruelty with kindness and will persist in thawing the frozen hearts of young people. She has a very traditional spirit in her, domestic, she always makes sure her twins (Axel and Axen) always went to school with a well prepared lunch and a note saying how much she loved them.

As with most mothers, the safety of her children is the up most importance and while it has only been very rare that she has ever perceived her children to be in danger, she will drop all her geniality and stand up for them. Sophie is not one to step down to the low behaviors of others if they wish to try to initiate bickering or violence.

Being among the supernatural has taught her a lot more about tolerance and acceptance and she is grateful for the wisdom. People complimenting her on her beauty always makes her blush, even from her husband, Alexander. And her greatest fault is underselling herself and struggling to say no to her children if they give her the puppy eyes (Or as she now calls it, the ‘Hatching Eyes’ – a small joke of their Dragon heritage).

Spoiler: Appearance: 

Spoiler: Photo 

What she wore on her wedding day - her children were very much conceived that night.

Spoiler: If it helps anyone, was wearing something along these lines when taken 

Sophie is a very petite woman, only 4’10’’ she blames herself for Axel’s size since the boy always has been touchy on the subject. Her body’s shape is extremely fertile, to the point it has been an annoyance throughout her life, but clearly it has brought her much unwanted attention from aspiring lovers.

Her very long hair is a unique color not seen in the Human DNA – silver, but with a gentle pink hue that has seem to be lost in her children. Her eyes are a deep amethyst and uniquely beautiful. Her skin is pale and her features are small and becoming. But her charm is more innocent and motherly than at all sexual or sensual, despite the girls she’s been burdened hefting around.

Sophie tries to wear clothing that keeps herself modest and not accentuate her already attention drawing body. She also does not adorn herself with makeup.

Brief History: Her Dragon husband, Alexander, brought her into this world. They had met in collage. Sophie was a young woman with little ambition, seeking peace in a world of people harassing her and putting expectations on her based on how she looked or acted or her gender. The pressure was difficult and she didn’t know what to do, taking classes her parents had forced her to take.

Under their constant wing, and with the looming shadows of petty youth around her, she kept herself small. When she had met Alexander in passing at the courtyard there was a spark that she did not bring up – but he certainly wouldn’t let go of. The man was persistent, but his approach was unusual. He never tried to just attempt to have sex with her or take her for face value; he challenged her views and her opinions and slowly brought her out of her shell.

With Alexander, her life problems seemed to melt away and they started to make sense, then he dropped the bomb – he’s a Dragon. Ignorant of the supernatural, she was skeptical at first, but when he demonstrated his great power it took a lot of perception changing on her part to accept this. Sophie had been with Alexander for six years before he proposed, she was now adjusted to life among other Dragons, seeing they were like anyone else – but insanely more powerful of course. There were a few bumps along the way, mostly Alexander having to assert that Sophie was his mate, other Dragons lured by her scent and appearance. But all in all they have been strong and committed to each other.

Sophie was blessed with twins, children who took with them her silver-ish hair and amethyst eyes. They grew up not displaying any other traits from her blood, leaving her personal curiosity of heritage a mystery forever. But they had gained great strength from her father, as well as aggression and sometimes too much courage.

Her patience has been tested time and time again over the years with her kids in trying to teach them peace and happy co-existence with others. But in the eyes of Dragon youth it looked like everything was about the hierarchy of power and strength and it never helped that Alexander agreed with these views.

Other: She giggles a lot, hates running (for obvious reasons), and is sickened easily at the sight of more than a drop of blood. She secretly likes it when her husband acts tough or plays 'bad cop' - makes her knees weak

Spoiler: Wolf's Character 

Name:
Lisa Stillman

Age:
18

Race:
Were (can shapeshift into a cougar)

Gender:
Female

Sexuality:
Hetro

Personality: Lisa is a friendly, chatty and outgoing girl though she can occasionlly be a little reserved with strangers she meets for the first time because of her mixed-heritage. She is generally cheerful and warm-hearted but does have a serious side as well when it comes to studying.

Appearance:

Spoiler: Picture  

Brief History:
Lisa was raised in a small city somewhere in the mid-west. Her mother largely raised her as a single parent and the two of them are very close. Her father is still alive but lives in another town some distance away. Her shapeshifting ability was inherited from her mother and she first learned to use it when she was about thirteen years old. That aside her upbringing was fairly normal. When she goes to college she wants to study Sapient Rights Law (basically an extended version of Human Rights Law that applies to other races).

Other:
Likes books and music. She is also quite fond of animals and keeps several pet rabbits.

Spoiler: DizzyMaelstrom!'s Character 

Name: Uriah Spiridon

Age: 17

Race: Will O’ the Wisp

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Demi/Bisexual

Personality: Uriah is a bit of a faker when it comes to bravery. He gets very easily nervous, he can be extremely defensive if he feels threatened, and may come off as bad-tempered when first approached, especially when he’s already on edge, but he will drop all that quickly if he decides the person approaching him isn’t going to hurt him. He's actually a pretty nice guy. He’ll never admit that he’s scared. Ever. He likes people, making him terrible at his job as a Will O' the Wisp.

Appearance:

Spoiler: Uri and his Wisp Form 

(Yeah, but don’t call him Uri unless he says you can. He doesn’t like to be called Uri)

Brief History: No one knows exactly where wisps come from. As a result, Uriah was born from nothing and raised by foster parents who caught him in his human form and mistook him for an abandoned child. It was a major mistep on his part, as wisps are supposed to live out their lives alone, only interacting with humans to perform acts of trickery upon them… so much for that. Even so, he grew fond of his foster parents and decided to stay, though he constantly insisted to other wisps that he could definitely cope on his own. He’s already let his foster parents know that he is no way human, to which they’ve fully accepted. Around the age of fourteen, he got used to being taken care of, though he’d never admit it. When he becomes a full-fledged adult, he'll try easing into his life as proper wisp… if he can survive this new dilemma, that is.

Other: In his wisp form, he feels most comfortable, as it is in this form that he is fastest, he can fly, and is durable though not invincible. In his human form, he is practically weightless, making him light on his feet, nimble, and fluid in his movement, however he is not at all strong, and tries to avoid physical confrontations because of this (this is why he always gets so nervous). He's also not always the best coordinated person, since he has to deal with gravity.

White haired, blue-eyed. This is his original form/enraged form.

Brief History:
A very loyal servant angel, bribed by Lucifer to study an even more interesting stuff, the dark magic. When God knew about his secret, he was sent back to Earth to redeem himself. He need to save as much soul as he can, enough to satisfy God for him to be able to come back. It wasn't that easy on his part; He still has the ability to wield the dark force (Intentionally left by God, if he can learn it then he could learn to forget it) and therefore was given an indicator. It was a tattoo indicator that states how much dark magic he uses by spreading all over his body like a virus. The tattoo was now up to his triceps.

Other:
As an Archer angel, his ability grants him control over arrows. But the only difference is that he doesnt need a physical arrow and bow, he'll just have to use his strength to make his own instantly. But of course, this method exhausts him. In his enraged form, he will unconsciously use his shadow magic but there is a condition: The more he uses that dark power, the more he weakens and the chance of him coming back to the Kingdom of God reduces. Also, he is a very good musician: piano, guitar and harp is his expertise.

Axel and Axen Solace

"But you bloody cheated!!"

"I so did not. You were not focusing." Axel countered, glaring at his sister. She too glared back at him. Who knew a game of chess on the computer could get so heated? Then again, the twins had their own competitive streaks. Axen snorted, flipping her silvery hair over her shoulder.

"Well I didn't know getting spam messages was supposed to make me focus more." She sarcastically said, rolling her eyes. Her twin brother sighed and shook his head, leaning back.

They were waiting for their Pizza to arrive because, why not? Pizza on a Friday night. TGIF. Their mom was probably downstairs but the twins knew that she was watching TV or something similar. The twins looked at each other and sighed.

"I'm hungry." Axel stated. His sister rolled her eyes.

"I'm sure this is the part where you say that you could eat a horse." She grumbled. Just then, the doorbell rang.

The twins were off their feet and down the stairs in a second, playfully pushing against each other to get to the door. There was a slight chill in the household that made both of them hesitate, well made Axen hesitate. Her brother just threw the door open.

There were red eyes before the world turned black.

------------------------------------------

"Huuu~ *hic* huuu.... *hic* *hic*"

Axen groaned and swatted beside her, feeling the other body twitch slightly. "Wazzup bro?" She grumbled, opening up one eye to see a glowing figure huddled up in the corner. She immediately recognized the ghostly wounds on the crying face and she stiffened.

"I'm not crying... what the actual heck is that?!" Her brother squeaked, waking up a few inches from her. The twins only stared at the crying girl in their corner as they took in their surroundings.

The classroom was old, and rundown. The dilapidated tables and chairs suggested that they were in an elementary school. Axel shivered and swallowed.

"D-do you think we're in t-that s-school from t-the email?" He stammered. Axen swallowed.

"No shizz bro. We're in Disneyland." She quipped dryly.

[Minkasha]

Sophie Solace

'Sorry sweetheart, work has put me into overtime again. I'll be home by tomorrow morning and I promise I'm all yours to do as you like ;p. You're beautiful, you know that? Made you blush huh? :p It's a Friday night, I wish you the best of luck keeping our Hatchlings in check.

Xoxo forever always for you babe - The big strong husband ;p'

Sophie had face palmed after reading what her husband just texted. Being a doctor, his work did this several times a month, but he was saving lives. Of course he had to go and call her beautiful, already feeling the heat rising in her cheeks. Brushing away some of her signature Solace hair from her face, she pondered on what to feed the kids.

Knowing Axel, he'd be very hungry, he always was these days, a growing boy. The mother smiled in reflective thought of her twins, staring at the cellphone. While she could have taken the time to make a buffet of food to sate the children, Dragon children stuffing it down there throats with ease somehow, she figured that by giving them pizza she could buy some time to cook some healthier foods while they started on it.

Ordering a pizza for each of her children, she had begun chopping leaves to sprinkle into a salad dish for them. The life of a supernatural mom wasn't so off from the average, spare the occasional frozen object she had to thaw or replace because of her children's powers. Keeping a healthy distance from the counter and cutting boared actually allowed her to see what she was doing and not let her girls block her view. Sophie had wanted to get a reduction after breast feeding the twins, but Alexander always gave a passive protest when she brought it up - he was a big fan of them.

She sighed, marinating the chopped chicken for the salad dish. Marriage was about compromise: Sophie kept the fun bags that could debilitate her at times and Alexander worked his butt off so she didn't have to work and take all the girl time she needed, that was what her husband had called it of course.

The doorbell went off and her wedges lightly sounded on the tile floor as she walked to the front door.

"Children be careful! You could hurt one another!" She spoke up as she saw her silver haired children rough housing down the stairs. While Sophie had calmly walked to the door, a sudden cold feeling hit her and her mother's intuition kicked in - knowing some how Axen was on the same wavelength as her. Of course her son was daft and felt nothing, charging to the door.

"Axel, st-" Sophie had tried to warn, but the boy already opened the door.

Darkness took her vision instantly.

**

Sophie woke slowly, feeling the pain of laying down on her chest - something she never did for that reason alone. Somehow the strangeness of that made the flower scented woman remember the fear and sudden loss of consciousness.

Gasping, she sat up, where she was did not have any proper lighting. It was creepy to say the least: old, dirty a ruined classroom was within her eyesight. Sophie could not think of any run down schools in the immediate area of home - living in a wealthier part of the city. That meant she had no idea where she was.

Looking around the ground she looked around for her purse, hoping to get her cellphone to call her husband, but it wasn't anywhere around her. The voices of her children caught her ear and already she felt nauseous, sickened by the fact her babies were in this situation - whatever dark reality it could be.

"Axen, Axel!" She cried out, a gentle mother's voice to summon her twins. Using the breaking wall to support herself, she got to her feet. The height of her heeled shoes help give her more area vision and her amethyst eyes linked with the crying figure, and then the shiny heads of her kids.

Scattered in the room were the unconscious bodies of other minors and she worried greatly for their safety. Running to her kids, she stopped before them, crouching and keeping her back to the glowing figure so she was a barrier between it and her kids, trying to keep their attention. Sophie's hair and skirt brushed against the dusty ground now that she was down to their sitting eye level with a hand on each of their faces.

"Are either of you sick or injured!? Can you text daddy for help!?" Hopefully they had their cells, she prayed.

[Crazywolf]

Lisa was sat on the bed with the lap-top on her knees. Reaching up she tucked a stray strand of long blond hair back behind her ears. She was currently on Roleplayer's Forum which was one of her favourite websites and probably the one she visited most. Earlier that evening she had uploaded some cute pictures of her pet rabbits onto her forum-blog but right now she was struggling to write a character sheet. A slight sigh of frustration escaped her lips, despite a good twenty minutes searching on Google she couldn't for the life of her find a decent image to fit the character she wanted to play.

It was then that the email notification popped up on her screen. She clicked and read it. The message about the school was quite weird, figuring it must have just been sent to her by mistake she simply closed it and ignored it. She turned her attention back to the character sheet, deciding that she needed to edit the description a little bit.

Then came the ring of the doorbell. Her mom was out this evening so she was home alone. She hadn't ordered pizza or anything like that so she wondered who it might be. Feeling curious she walked downstairs and then opened the door.

For a split second she saw the red eyes before the world went black.

***

Feeling a little dazed she opened her eyes to find herself lying on the floor. Glancing around she saw the walls and furnishings of the classroom. She also noticed the other bodies lying on the floor, particularly one girl with bat-like wings protruding from her shoulders. She'd never actually seen another super-natural person before, besides of course her own mother. Was that girl perhaps some kind of fairy or demon?

Off to one side of her she could now hear a woman checking on her kids, however the thing that really drew her attention was the sound of crying. Raising her head and shoulders her eyes were instinctively drawn in the direction of that sound. There she beheld the crying child surrounded by the eyrie blue glow. She stared at the apparition with her eyes completely transfixed by it. It was at that point she really started to freak out.

[Nightwish]

Vitani was napping in a tree feeling more protected there than on the ground, but she really would have preferred a cave where it was nice and dark. She woke up abruptly when a raven as black as night flew overhead cawing quite loudly. She rubbed her eyes and stretched her wings out to their full span allowing them to wake up too. She stood up on the sturdy branch of the tree and leaned herself against the trunk, looking out at the vast expanse of the forest.

Vitani felt at home her among nature and she loved the animals that kept her company. She saw a fox chasing a rabbit and she thought to herself how quickly life can end. You go along and enjoy your time then one day you just... poof and you are gone. She watched as the rabbit quickly ducked into one of its many holes and felt a little less pessimistic.

Vitani jumped from the branch and unfurled her wings to take flight. She flew over the entire span of the forest and saw many travelers and animals. She hated hunters and would often heckle them, just because they couldn't see her or hear her didn't mean she couldn't manipulate them or their things. At last she finally came to the ground and pulled her wings back letting them rest neatly behind her.

Suddenly the raven from before flew at her face and she screamed. The bird cawed as if laughing at her and flew away just as quickly as it had come. She looked on the ground and found a small letter. She wondered who it must be for and took it up in her hands. As she read it she became afraid because it felt like evil radiated from the letter she held. She looked around hoping to see some wood nymph or a forest sprite laughing at its trick but found herself alone. She listened intently and noticed with great fear that there was no sound. As she began to breathe heavily she heard a rustle behind her. Suddenly ravens by the hundreds came at her all cawing loudly and her world went black as they came upon her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When she awoke she found herself inside something she thought was called a classroom. She had found a book once about a child who was in "kindergarten" she thought she recalled that the girl's name was Judy? At any rate she had never seen one herself and felt very alienated. It was then she noticed she wasn't alone. With a feeling of dread she looked at all the people there.

She saw a woman standing between to children and... she felt her heart go into her throat as she saw the glowing blue figure that appeared to be crying. Whatever it was it wasn't normal or even neutral in nature. It was clear that there was something... off putting about the child and she quickly to her gaze off it. She then saw all the other unconscious children and a blonde-haired girl had looked at her to which she quickly hid herself inside her wings.

She left only enough room between her wings for her to be able to look out. She stared at the crying figure and waited for it to do something... anything. She refused to be caught off guard by it and kept her gaze intently upon it while her own face was hidden from the others. She felt safer behind the protection of her wings but knew that they only provided a blocking of eyes and could not really protect her. Reluctantly, she dropped her wings so if anything happened she could react and move quickly. This figure will not get the best of me. Its crying is only more off putting and I have no pity for it.

"Take that, suckers!" Ian screamed, victorious. His screen flashed with a bunch of crows surrounding an odd looking scarecrow as it tried desperately to bash an strangely erotic looking cat-girl. In the process a bunch of other avatars had been hit, sending curses and not so nice comments about his mother blasting on his headphones. A bunch of these tiny creatures disappeared from the screen, followed by a choir of "Damn" and "F***"
"Not bad for a support, huh?" He said in a cocky manner to the microphone on his headpiece.
"Oh screw you" answered his friend Georgine from the other end of the planet. This internet thingy sure was wonderful.
"Stop f***ing around and help me!" protested another voice. "Minions got me low on health!" the female voice added in a desperate manner.
"Minions? Jeez, Menie, you really ARE a noob" he answered mockingly. Melanie Gutierrez. Friend from highschool, her parents were latin american inmigrants. She wasnt exactly pretty but Ian kinda fancied her. Besides, all the other girl were out of his league. Talking about Leagues...
The little scarecrow avatar sent a crow flying and bouncing off what oddly resembled a robot and a Unicorn lady?
"God damn it Fiddle, youre supposed to be support!" complained Menie again as her avatar wasnot only being hit by minion now, but what seemed like a giant alligator.
"Im coming, im coming. Dont be so bossy" Who had put this girl as ADC? She was ging to bring the whole team down and he was stuck as support.
After a few seconds of map navigation he came to a really weakened furry blue thing.
"I have come to rescue thee, m'lady" said Roger mockingly as he approached her friends avatar "Seriously? From all the cool champions out there, you pick a freaking Yordle?"
"Oh, screw you, it looked cute. Besides, dont need your help anymore." she responded angrily "I managed by myslef. What a suppor you are"
"Just get a room you too" said a voice with a strong indian accent on the microphone.
Outside his fantasy worl, Roger took a sip from his Coke. He needed cffeine if he was to stay awake the whole match and still have time to level. He glanced at his Celphones clock. 2:00 am. The night was still young. He had the habit of staying up until 4 o clock on weekends. 2:00 on schooldays. He didnt want to look like a zombie after all.
This had become a routine for him. Wake up, got to school, play videogames. This was his life. Not a lot of friends if you didnt count the online ones, and no girlfriend at all. Who needed one anyway? If he managed to get into the international league, he wouldnt even have to study anymore.
It was his life dream to join an international gaming team and travel the world playing his favorite game. He had spent about a year or two by now, playing and becoming better. He could say, not without braggin that he was one of the best players out there. And still, nobody seemed to know him...
He kept playing for a few hours, until the doorbell interrupted him. He looked again at the clock. 3 in the morning. Who the hell could be bothering at three in the morining? His parents were out of town, so it definitively wasnt them. Then who?
"Hold up guys, im going AFK for a sec, someones at the door."
"Who the f*** knocks on your door at three in the morning?" Menie asked suspiscious.
"Ooooh, someones getting laid!" said Georgine with a sarcastic tone, which was followed by the laughter of his gamemates.
"Haha, real funny" the doorbell rang again, insistent. "Seems to be important, i better answer." this sead, he removed his headpiece, left it carefully on his desk and walked lazily downstairs.
By the time he reached the door, the doorbell had rang about five times, desperately.
"Im coming!" he shouted. Jesus, didnt these people know patience?
He placed his hand on the doorknob, and hesitated. Should he open? It couldnt be good if it was at three in the morning.
"F*** it Ian, youre a man, behave like one" he thought, as he turned the knob and opened the door.
When he saw the red gleaming eyes, he knew he had made a really bad choice.
__________________________________________________ ______________

By the time he woke he had a drool puddle under hes cheek. Did he really drool that much? Geez...
It took him a few seconds to realize that: a) he wasnt in his room. This looked like a classroom. If the calssroom had been ran over by a stampede of furious water buffalos and moldy bread had been glued to the walls. And if that wasnt enough to scare the crap out of him, b) someone was crying.
And not a normal sobbing. It was one of those creepy sobbing you usually hear in movies or games, just before some sh** jumps at you and scares you out ofyour wits. Roger knew instantly that this was not a place to trust.
Did he feel scared? Pffft, of course not he was a man.
The sobbing grew louder and louder, and it didnt take long before Roger knew where it came from. A little gril, with her back turned on him, with long black hair, sobbed loudly in the corner
Ok he was kinda scared. Scared. REALLY SCARED.
"I gotta get the f*** out of here, he whispered to himself." just as he whispered, the girl turned around. She was plae, and had a hungry red stare. She began to crawl towards hims, as he backed off slowly, trying hard not to screm
"Ive played enough Silent Hill to know where this is going" he said, trying no to pee his pants.
"Where do you think youre going? " a deep voice whispered behind him.

[Ragnarok]

Lao walked along the corridor of darkness in the realm of Death. His mother had given him a simple mission. Kill an Imp and bring back it's tail. He had faced countless Imps on Earth before. They were a piece of cake, Except for the fact that in the Underworld they had triple the strength. Even so, they weren't that hard to kill. . .If he were in his demon form.

His mother had given him specific instructions. 'Do not transform your body. If you do, You won't get dinner.' She said. And to make maters worse, she had made it so he hadn't had breakfast or lunch either. Right now, he would eat the Imp if Imps were edible. Then he heard something up ahead. Lao was ready. He concentrated his hearing and heard a dozen pairs of feet. They were light and quick, like an imps. Lao knew things would go sour real hard, real fast. The first Imp came from behind, latching onto Lao's limbs with its claws. Lao quickly ripped it off and threw it at a broken stone wall. It hit the wall, breaking it in the process and deeming itself unconscious. Lao saw three more come from in front of him. He summoned his magic and began his fight.

~~~

Lao didn't remember much later. His dream shifted to when he was walking home. His shadow was. . . deformed. One side had it's short hair and the other had long jet black hair reaching down to her back knee. His left eye was blue, while her right eye was blood red. A single horn sprouted from the right side of her head. If you split him down the middle, the only thing similar was their height. The doors to his home opened and he walked into the cathedral, blood dripping from the tail in her hand. One thing that was different, aside from all that was physical was that his side was horrified...while her side was smiling. Blood was splattered over their naked body. They looked up to their mother. Even their voice wasn't spared. "Mo...ther..." They said simultaneously. Their mother held back a shocked gasp. She soon realized what she had done was a mistake, but a necessary one. She came down to them and embraced them.

"It's alright, My Lao..." She said and Lao felt the bones in her side start to deform and change. Her skin, eyes, and horn changed. He was back to his human form. He began crying. He embraced her back desperately.

"I did...I didn't know I was capable of..." Memories of what occurred an hour or so before flooded to him. Even if imps were vile creatures...they didn't deserve deaths like what SHE had granted them.

"Shh..." She told him, and he fell asleep in her arms.

---

Lao's eyes opened to someone knocking on the door to his home. He looked around him. He was back in the human world. Out of his dreams. He closed the book he had fallen asleep on and wiped his face. He walked over to the door and opened it, only to fall back into the darkness.

---

Lao opened his eyes again and heard people talking around him. He slowly sat up and stayed quiet. Taking note of the mysterious surroundings.

[Camelpaks]

Kane was sitting at his desk surfing the internet on his desktop, watching random youtube videos, browsing forums, and doing a little reading on a website here and there. Him being bored was an understatement. He had absolutely nothing to do tonight. As he continued surfing an email notification popped up on his computer. It was odd and looked like just spam. Though he normally passed on reading anything like this he felt compelled to scan the pop up this time. As he skimmed through he rose an eyebrow and chuckled. The spam was stupid; Kane was fairly sure he passed elementary plenty of years ago. He shook his head and began to click off.

THUMP
THUMP

A loud repeated knock echoed through the silent house as soon as Kane clicked off the ad, with a loud feminine voice accompanying it.

"Door!" The young boy's mother yelled.

Kane sighed, the almost instantaneous knock slightly unnerved him.

THUMP
THUMP

The knocking continued.

"Kane!" His mother yelled once more.

"Mhm." The boy grumbled. He turned his head around and looked over at his doorway, briefly considering getting up and answering the door. But on second thought it was too far away, he'd rather not. "She can handle it." He turned back around and resumed his surfing.

THUMP
THUMP
THUMP
THUMP

"Kane! Someone's at the door!"

"I know." He answered plainly.

BANG
BANG
BANG

"GET THE DAMN DOOR!"

The scream shrieked through Kane's skull like a banshee and he shot up out his seat. Once he calmed down he sighed, shaking his head, and making his way out of his room, not wanting to make his mom any more angry. Once he stepped out of his room and into the hall he saw his mother trotting at the other end, likely about to storm into his room. She stopped in her tracks when she saw him.

"Are you gonna get the door?" Anger was clear in her voice.

"Obviously." Kane said as he turned and made his way down the stairs.

BANG
BANG
BANG

Kane clenched his teeth. This was ridiculous, who knocks on the door this much? At this point it was less than a knock and more of an attack on the door. Every knock became louder and more forceful as he made his way down. Once he got to the bottom of the stairs he stopped. The knocking continued and with each knock Kane got a feeling of dread. But most humans have the curiosity to have to see what it is or to shrug off instincts.

But Kane was different. He did indeed shrug, but he turned around and started walking up the stairs, deciding that whoever was at the door was out of luck. As he made his way back up the stairs he noticed something that made that feeling of dread make his heart start pounding.

The knocking had stopped.

The knocking had actually stopped. And with it, the entire house seemed even quieter than before. Kane stopped and looked back at the door while slowly continuing his trek up the stairs. A feeling of true dread coming over him. He started speed walking back to his room. But as soon as he turned and entered his doorway, he saw it

Red eyes and then darkness.

*****

Kane groaned and slowly opened his eyes. He expected a bright light to hurt his eyes, but was met with a dark room of some sorts. He was laying on his back on the cold tiled floor of this room, the scenery was hard to make out but it was old and had a feeling of... he wasn't quite sure of what, but it wasn't good.

He lifted up and got on his feet looking around. He saw a girl with wings? He assumed it was some costume. There was a blonde girl staring at another group, an adult woman standing with two others, apparently her kids, another guy, and an older man compared to the rest of the group. He was about to say something, a rare occurrence for Kane, until his attention was drawn to what everyone else's was. In the corner there was girl with an eerie light blue hue crying.

[Argon Jaden]

Axel and Axen Solace

The twins blinked in surprise at their mom. Axel widened his eyes in worry and frowned. What was their mom doing here. He scrunched his nose and looked up at her.

"Mommy... what are you doing here?" He asked with a concerned tone. Axen raised a silver brow at her brother.

"She's here to teach you how to finally clean your side of the room, Captain obvious." She snarked, before shooting her mom a confused look. "I dunno how we got here. Did we nuke a spell or something" She asked, raising a brow.

[Minkasha]

Sophie Solace

"Oh no..." Her small and warm hands held to their cheeks, thumbs brushing their faces tenderly. Sophie looked over her shoulder to the crying entity that gave her horrible and dark vibes. "Come on hatchings, we need to make sure you're safe..." She grabbed each of her children's hands and helped them stand. Squeezing tightly, she laid her eyes on the minors who were becoming conscious.

"Children..." She called out to all of them. "Let's gather up, stay together for safety..." the woman started to take charge. Her amethyst eyes focused back onto the purple eyes of her kin, she spoke quietly and pointed to the brown haired boy that had been gawking at the phantom child, he appeared unharmed and healthy. "Go stand over by him, okay? I need to check on all the others"

If Axel and Axen listened to her and stood with the boy, she would walk over to the girl with the bat wings and kneel down at her, extending a hand. She did not know at all what this girl was, but she looked unhappy as any of the others.

"Sweetie, are you hurt or sick?"

[Bat Cat]

Ray groaned and tried to sit up. The last thing he remembered was reaching for the door to go grab a drink. That stupid email.... He looked around and saw some others in the room with him. If it wasn't for that email, I wouldn't have had an excuse to go out... He leaned against a counter as he got to his feet. I wouldn't have had a reason to go to the door... And I wouldn't be here right now... He turned and saw a small girl crying in a corner a few feet away from him with an older woman kneeling next to her. The hell is going on here?!
