PROLOGUE Leslie slammed the door shut , fuming. If her mom didn’t let her go, she would find a way to go to the party herself. She plopped on her bed, exausted from arguing. She closed her eyes and drowned in the power of sleep, She awoke to the pinging of many messages reaching her phone, They all came from a strange number. Next morning: ACT ONE Leslie, her mom, her friends: Ava, Roslyn, Jake (whom she has a crush on) , and Blake Leslie: Mom, the train’s almost here. *train comes* Mom : see you later, I love you, *hugs Leslie* Leslie: Momm… *Leslie’s friends come* Ava: Good morning Mrs. Snow, Mom: good morning Ava. I see you are doing well. Jake: hello Mrs. Snow. you look great, Les ! Leslie: *blushes* Mom: hello to you too. Roslyn and Blake (twins) : Hey! Mom: hey guys. Leslie: Guys, the train’s going to leave soon, We better go. Ava: kay, bye Mrs. Snow Leslie: bye mom! ❤ see you at winter break! *they get on the train* Jake: Wow! Blake: cool! Man, I wish Chis were here to see this. Ava: *flinches* Roslyn: ok, guys, let’s find somewhere to sit before it gets too crowded. *they wander around for a bit before finding a roomette that wasn’t full. * Leslie: how are we all going to fit in here? *a boy and girl come in, they look like a couple. A boy then trails after them* Strange girl: Kai, how are we going to fit in here, with ‘them’. boy/Kai: There is no other one, Jade! Unless you want to sleep in the dining car… Jade: ugh.. Fine Other boy: guys, you know they can hear us right? Jade: I know, Xavier. *train arrives at the school* Leslie: OH MY GODS!! This school is so nice.. (The old brick school, with it’s talk dark pillars that seemed to reach up to the sky, the walls, adorned with ornaments. Each one had a different feeling to it.) Ava: *still recovering from the shock of Blake saying her ex’s name* l-let’s go inside. I’m freezing. *they all go in the school* Roselyn: oh.. It’s so warm in here… (the bland, warm brown interior matching with the dull humid feeling inside the building. The stairs, painted a bold crimson color were a eyeopener compared to the black railings along the steps. The ceiling was painted with paintings, horrible .paintings, outline in blood red, like they were tainted with the blood of a thousand children.) Leslie: *flinches* it looks, colorful…. Principal(over the announcements) : Hello, first years, please report to the gym to be sorted into your cabins. *they all go to the gym* Principal(now in person) : Anderson, Blake Blake: here we go, *goes up to the podium and puts on the glasses* Glasses: Hmm… saving…. Fire……uh…….. N gy *looking into Blake’s traumat1c past*
