[b]Evelyn - This Means War/Red Asphalt[/b] Wait.....wait wait wait wait wait... Did Dex just say, no, he pretty much blurted it out to the whole fucking world who his roomie was, and unfortunately for Ev, Dexy's new roomie wasn't the Midnight Runners but Lisa...HER LISA OF ALL PEOPLE!!! She...she didn't know what to think...except maybe murdering this guy in cold blood right then and there. [color=ed1c24][i][s]No, no, too yandere![/s][/i][/color] [color=ed1c24]"So uh....c-cool hehe... You got yourself a roomie now, huh Dex? That's uh...yeah, that's...I guess that's rad." [i]Rad?! He's sleeping in the same room as Lis! That's fucked up! Okay okay, chill Ev. He's just some dude...who has some sick tastes..in music..and movies..and maybe games. There's no need to be dropping bombs on his ass yet... Just as long as he doesn't do anything to piss me off...oh wait...he did already.[/i][/color] Letting out a short, stifled yawn she stretched , giving a halfhearted smile to Dex and Lisa before setting her arms down by her sides, [color=ed1c24]"Anyways....I gotta bail for the night. Classes are gonna be murder in the morning, and my roommate, judging my luck, he's a dick."[/color] Before she left, she ruffled Lisa's hair with a wry chuckle and bid her farewells to them both, [color=ed1c24]"Have fun with your new roomie, Lis. I'll see you guys tomorrow. Maybe we can hang if you guys got free period or something. Anyways, laters."[/color] And so she waved goodbye, trudging back to the dorm hall with a permanent scowl practically glued to her face, muttering to herself viciously and incoherently about how she didn't get a room by herself....or even with Lisa, but probably some douchecake, a guy, she hated guys...well...if they were assholes who were only out for a piece of tail. With a gruff sigh she threw her door open and ambled in kicking off her converse nonchalant. Her roomie was already there, his lazy ass in bed where it should be, his bed of course. Huh...must've fixed the room up while she was gone, replacing the two twin beds with bunk beds, and his selfish ass already got the top bunk! [i][color=ed1c24]Oh yeah...this is gonna be grrrreeeeeaaatttt.....fuck no.[/color][/i]Slipping out of her jeans and her button up shirt, she was only left in a black pair of panties with a white pentagram emblazoned on the side and a Butcher Babies tank top that looked plain whit but spattered in blood. She threw back the covers of her bed with another bitter huff of warm air and slipped under them, crashing her head against the flat-as-hell pillows the damn school gave her and slowly but surely...drifting off into dreams.....or rather..... [h2][color=ed1c24]NIGHTMARE[/color][/h2] [i]You should have known The Price of Evil And it hurts to know that you belong here No one to call Everybody to Fear Your Tragic Fate is Looking so Clear...... [b]IT'S YOUR FUCKING NIGHTMARE[/b][/i] The same one....the same fucking horrible dream that plagued her mind night after night, and every gruesome, tantalizing detail Ev could remember down to a tee. There she was again, the same, dark haunted forest, the same fearsome storm raging above, with lightning flashing and thunder growling everywhere around her, her entire body soaked to the marrow in a cold, chilling rain as she ran through the thicket of black, towering trees creaking and moaning in the fierce, roaring winds forming icicles on her flesh and racking her body...with some horrific, unspeakable agony. [color=ed1c24][i]I...I have to get out of here! I have to keep running! It's not real! It's not real![/i][/color] Those were the only thoughts racing through her minds, frantically her heart pounding against her chest, threatening to break through her rib cage, sweat...no...that wasn't sweat pouring down her face...it...it was [color=ed1c24]BLOOD!![/color] She kept running, there was something chasing her, something she couldn't see beyond the endless veil of darkness engulfing the wicked forest of withering pines and ashes, but she could sense it, she could feel it, the malevolent, malicious force coming forth to devour her. [color=ed1c24][i]No go away! Leave me alone! Just fucking leave me alone!![/i][/color] The forest had ended, and soon...Evelyn found herself in the middle of a road, a stretch of asphalt that seemed to cut through this forsaken thicket enshrouded in black fog and foul smelling rain. She heard a sound, that of a little girl's playful giggle, her eyes, widened with horror and brimming hot with tears, skimming towards the source of bone-chilling laughter. There she was, playing...in the middle of the road...with a cute little puppy. The sight, it would have been innocent, welcomed almost...if...if only this were a dream...and not the unwelcomed terrors that assaulted Ev's mind every night. Just as predicted, here it came, thundering relentlessly down the road, a bright gleam of pure, burning white light raping her eyes, a horrific wail assaulting her ears like the screech of a banshee from her cold sepulcher, along with the eerie, demonic growl of some gargantuan mechanism....a machine constructed only to kill and to destroy.... And so her eyes beheld it, the large, black semi-truck loaded for bear and screaming down the highway as some ravenous beast...and...she only knew who this beast came to ravage. Quickly she turned her eyes with a horrific shriek of her own, feeling it....the warm, viscous spatter against her flesh....of blood....of flesh...of sinew and carrion....things that should belong to a sweet and innocent little girl...now the latest victim...of highway fatality..... ------------------------------ [color=ed1c24]"NO!!!"[/color] She jolted awake shaking like a leaf, her skin clammy and sticky with intense, fearful perspiration. No surprise her bedsheets were soaked as well. Why....why this dream dammit? What did it even mean? And why....why did it have to come into her mind...every damn night? For the answer....Ev had no time to search. With bleary eyes blinking at her alarm clock, she noticed it was already 8:00 AM, good, just enough time to get ready before classes started. Rummaging out of bed she stretched and yawned, shuffling her feet on the way to the shower. She was only in there for a few minutes, and mostly she just laid her head against the cool tiles and let the soothing heat of the water cascade down her neck and her shoulders. Afterwards, she dried off and got dressed in [url=http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JljDHvfcobs/UPiPNPFf6OI/AAAAAAAAATY/IrY2XHBkVvw/s1600/59566_441694322568732_1225054571_n.jpg]her outfit[/url] for the day, leaving her hair a mess as always and overdoing her eyeshadow...per usual. There, she was ready now...well for the day at least. She wasn't looking forward to all the classes she was signed up for, but hell...maybe she'd catch up with Lis again, and maybe Dex. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- [b]Rebecca - Beast Within the Beauty/Cruel Fate[/b] Rebecca's lips curved into the most mischievous and alluring of smirks she could ever muster upon hearing the adorable pleas of her prey, ah...sweet music to the lustful woman's ears, a charming melody that gave her perfect incentive to resume her....nightly plans. She almost felt sympathetic for the poor soul, caught in the dilemma of exposing her inhumanity to another, but of course she had no idea whatsoever the woman in her presence...wasn't quite human either. As sweet Vicy nuzzled her once more, ever so needing of her, wrapping those tiny arms once more around the woman's curvaceous hips. Rebecca, she could only smile so deviously at this notion, a perfect excuse laid in her lap...by the most perfect of her targets. [color=ed145b]~"Mmmmm..you'll do [i]anything[/i] my dear?"~[/color] She whispered into the girl's ear with an insatiable, seductive heat upon her breath cascading down her tender neck, teasing her with the tip of her finger slipping across the girl's quivering lips. [color=ed145b]~"I don't know, sweetie."~[/color] Her voice, ever lulling, but ever teasing as well, all while she stared hungrily into those cute eyes she adored. [color=ed145b]~"This is quite the naughty little secret you wish me to keep. It will take...quite a bit to keep my tongue from slipping. Ah, but you are so adorable, so innocent, my sweet little Vicy. What a shame it would be for me to betray your trust, the one you adore...as much as I long for you..."~[/color] She giggled softly, leaning forward and placing a gentle kiss upon Victorica's forehead, catching but a small taste of her skin upon her lips, practically swooning inside at the delicate touch. [i][color=ed145b]Aahhh...she tastes so divine. No more...I must have her now! Yes...yes she will be mine this night...no...mine always![/color][/i] But then...a bit daring it was....her lips found their way...to Victorica's own. The kiss, it was short, brief yes, but oh so wonderful as her lips tingled with excitement of the likes she hadn't felt in ages. With another sultry, mischievous snicker, she resumed wooing the lovely darling further into her charms, [color=ed145b]~"Mhmhmmm...perhaps we could reach a...small arrangement for keeping me quiet, but only if you are willing my dearest. You can trust me, can you not? I mean...who better to confide your deepest secrets in...than your lovely elder sis, hmm?"~ [i]Yes...that's a good girl, my adorable Victorica. Now...give your mistress that which she desires, that which courses so sweet, so red and abundant through your veins. Let it pass my lips and quell my tongue from divulging your darkest of secrets. Oh sweet sustenance, it shall be mine, as will you, for this night...no...forever...you will be mine, my darling. My precious thrall, forever you shall serve me in body...and in spirit...forever...[/i][/color] Inching closer to her neck now, Rebecca could feel it and no longer could she resist it. In that moment, her fangs extended beyond their normal length, becoming vicious, ivory daggers that glinted ill in the moonlight pouring into the room from the open window, and her eyes...once that beautiful shade of rose that could charm any reluctant darling into her grasp...they too had shifted for the worse, bleeding into a dark, glowing hue of crimson, just as the nectar she was soon to feast upon. [color=ed145b]~"Do not fear, my love..."~[/color] Her whispers, still sweet but hot and ravenous with a dark, silky, malicious tone. [color=ed145b]~"I assure you it won't hurt....much.."~[/color] And with that, her fangs began to sink into the meat of poor Vicy's neck, caught in the woman's grasp, ensnared by a seductive web...only for the black widow that was Rebecca to feast upon her...but...before the woman's fangs ever broke skin..... Something changed in her.... Her fangs receded back into her mouth and suddenly she released Victorica from her arms, slipping them back to her sides and going limp, falling to her knees before the young cat girl and shivering damn near uncontrollably. What...what was happening to her? This...this never occurred at all when she fed, but...this girl.....there was something...something about her aura....that repelled the woman's beastly hunger. [color=ed145b][i]I...wh...what's happening to me? Never have I experienced such a force. It's....it's as though my appetite.... has been soured. I...m-my urge to feed....it is gone from me. All because....I....s-she....no![/i][/color] As the wicked red faded back into innocent shades of rose, a few tears streamed down her cold, pale cheeks while she staggered to her feet, backing away from Victorica...and making for the door stuttering, her voice quavering....with what appeared to be....regret, [color=ed145b]~"N-no I.....I didn't mean to....My love, I'm sorry!"~[/color] She cried and quickly she bolted through the door, racing down the hall...away from Vicy's room... the tears never ceasing to fall and stain her lovely crimson dress. Twas clear, crystal clarity why she ceased her sudden urge to devour the girl.... [color=ed145b][i]Now I realize.....why I was drawn to her.... She....she reminds me so much of you, my darling....in every way possible.... It's as though....you've come back for me. Tell me if it is true my love. Send forth a sign, a vision from the enlightened heavens...that you are among me again... My love, my eternal paramour....my sweet...darling....Lucille...[/i][/color] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (YEARS AGO) [color=ed145b]~"Ah, there you are, sweetie! Why are you hiding from me?"~[/color] Rebecca had no idea where the cute brunette had gone, and so tirelessly she scoured the [url=http://wallpapersinhq.com/images/medium/a-rose_garden-1472812.jpg]endless garden of roses[/url], the sweet, savory aroma of so many wonderful flowers, of such dazzling colors wafting amidst the cool breeze of early April kissing her fair skin just as the bright morning sun above casting its warmth across the lavish abode of a Lord Vladimir Harken. His daughter, [url=http://img-cache.cdn.gaiaonline.com/fe441f2623c01b3f66216d2e1f4bec10/http://i728.photobucket.com/albums/ww287/RoxasDemonicAngel/AnimeBrunette.jpg]Lucille Harken[/url], she was a beauty of course, a lovely noble maiden it had been Rebecca's honor and privilege to become her friend, her maid....and her lover. But something felt odd about the girl, now being dodgy, apprehensive of the woman's presence. Rebecca feared...she must have done something to perturb her gorgeous mate. Finally, she had found the girl, as always tending to the beautiful roses she cherished so much in her family's private gardens. [color=fff79a]"O-oh....Hi..m-mistress."[/color] Shakily Lucille answered her soothing call. That name, funny how the true mistress was giving it to her maid, but alas...it was common to Rebecca now to be called such by...her own thrall. [color=fff79a]"I-I'm sorry"[/color] [color=ed145b]~"No, my dear. It is I who should be sorry."~[/color] Rebecca cut in quickly, but with a sincere tone to her voice. [color=ed145b] ~"For whatever I have done to disturb you, I...I apologize."~[/color] [color=fff79a]"B-but Rebecca..."[/color] Lucille chimed, and to her lady's surprise, a most cheerful of smiles crossed those soft, pale lips of hers, lips Rebecca longed to feel against her own, but at least a peck on her cheek from the lovely maiden sufficed. [color=fff79a]"You have done nothing to chide me, my sweet. In fact, all that you have done....is made me happy these few years we have shared together....but...."[/color] And then...sadness, it befell her voice, turned that lovely smile, contorting it into a most grievous frown, Rebecca's eyebrows furrowing at this odd shift in the girl's behavior, but then....came those words.... [color=fff79a]"I'm afraid......I'm afraid that our time....must be at it's end. Rebecca...."[/color] Her face turned from the woman, yet Rebecca could feel her pain emanating against her, the sorrow just accenting every word she spoke in tearful, broken whimpers, [color=fff79a]"I....I don't know how to say this to you.....and so....that is why I hid.... Because I....I was so afraid to tell you this..."[/color] [color=ed145b]~"Then tell me, my love!"~[/color] Rebecca uttered almost frantically, her hands reaching for the girl's slim shoulders and twirling her around to face her, to stare into eyes that were also stained with tears. [color=ed145b]~"Tell me why you have been avoiding me all these days! Lucille, I must know!"~[/color] But.....did she really.....really want to know why Lucille had been acting so strange? If only....she could have covered her ears....blocked those horrible words, that one vile sentence from ever shattering the sanctity around her, robbing her blind of her joy and skewering her through the heart with a searing, hot blade.....but....soon those very words she wished never to hear....they were spoken in one...frail....whisper, [color=fff79a]"Rebecca.....I.....I'm dying....."[/color] [color=ed145b]~"No......"~[/color] Rebecca breathed silently, her hand now reaching for her chest, as if her heart....had ceased to undulate. [color=ed145b]~"Lucille no...no....you're not. Tell me you're lying! Tell me this is just a sick game you are playing, that it is just fantasy! Please, do not tell me this to be true, my love!"~[/color] She couldn't help but think this was a ruse, that Lucille was merely bothered by...something else...and this....this was just some grim excuse she made up, but no....it was the truth. [color=fff79a]"I....I'm so...sorry Re...Rebecca!"[/color] Suddenly Lucille threw her arms around Rebecca, burying her face into the soft velour of her gown and sobbing ever inconsolable into the woman's bosom, and Rebecca....she too wept without end, cuddling the poor, withered soul closer to her, never wishing once to let go...in more ways than one. [color=fff79a]"We...we've tried all that we could. Father, he's spent so much to find....a cure for this wretched ailment that consumes me....but....it was all for naught. Soon.....soon I shall pass, and.....l-leave you behind...."[/color] [color=ed145b]~"N-no my dear.....you shall not leave me... Even as a flower, so beautiful and fragant, even as it withers into ashes, part of it....always remains....and that part....I shall carry with me....forever my darling... Even...if fate is to separate us.... You shall always belong to me, Lucille..."~ [/color] [color=fff79a]"Rebecca....I....I love you...."[/color] [color=ed145b]~"And I love you, my sweet, my darling Lucille....forever....."~[/color] That very night, she laid with her beloved for one last time, showering Lucille with every ounce of her warmth, her affection, every bit of love she could bring forth from a cracked, aching heart, giving every inch of it away...all to her...all to her Lucille... And the morning that followed.....she passed..... By then....Rebecca had vanished from the manner of Lord Harken, never to be seen or heard from...ever again. The only trace of her existence being that of one of the many beautiful roses, now withering and black, laid upon the very bed she and her darling Lucille had shared together...... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (PRESENT DAY) Ugh...what a terrible night plagued with memories, a night that saw barely an ounce of sleep for the tiresome Nosferatu, rising from her bed clad only in a silk, [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/a1/97/8e/a1978e9ca0160e9dc09853aebf0adc69.jpg]pink negligee[/url] and her sexy panties, the fabric so sheer it was practically see through. Rubbing her eyes and giving a yawn and a stretch, Rebecca stumbled about her dorm room. It seems her roommate was up, and to her misfortune....[i]she[/i], who the girl Rebecca assumed this mysterious Rain was, happened to be...a [i]he[/i]. [color=ed145b][i]Typical....[/i][/color] She sighed on the inside. Luckily she did have the modesty to wear pajamas, instead of her usual and much prefered way of sleeping.....stark naked. Oh well, might as well be friendly with this one. Men's blood, it didn't taste as sweet and savory as a woman's, but....it would suffice. [color=ed145b]~"Hello deary." <3~[/color] She chimed warmly to Rain while resting agaisnt the small counter of the kitchenette, a generous portion of her cleavage exposed while she did so [i]unintentionally[/i]. [color=ed145b] ~"I didn't expect to find you awake so early. May I ask what you are making? It's smells so delightful."~[/color] Indeed it did, and Rebecca had to admit though blood was her only sustenance, she did enjoy the food of mortals, and just by the decadent scent lingering in her nostrils, she could tell her roommate was quite the cook. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [b]Matthias - Now is the Winter of Our Discontent[/b] [b]"Ugh....."[/b] To say that the grumpy, hung-over art teacher hated mornings would be an understatement. In fact, Matthias utterly LOATHED, DESPISED, DETESTED, ABSOLUTELY ABHORRED mornings, which was why instead of joining the other teachers and faculty in the teacher's lounge for an early morning breakfast, he was sitting at his desk, a thermos of coffee sweetened with hazelnut creamer, non dairy, and in the other, two ibuprofen he briskly shoved down his gullet and chased with a gulp of hot coffee scorching his tongue, not that he cared, because a burn was much more tolerable....than what he was dealing with now. [b]"Next time I find that fucking nurse, I'm gonna garrote him to death with a piano wire. <.< I simply asked for some damn painkillers, not for the dipwad to knock me out!"[/b] He scowled grumbling to himself. [b]"Oh yay....the first day of classes. Now I get to start knuckling down and shattering dreams left and right. Matthias, let this be a day your students will forever rue, the snot nosed little bastards- eh...what's this?"[/b] And so something was brought to his attention, a small note left on his desk, by that perky school courier no less. Seriously, she could've doubled for the Lolipop Guild as much of a midget she was. Picking up the note, Matthias skimmed over it with drooping, bloodshot eyes, all while he sipped his coffee.....but once he read to the end of the note, [b]"PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/b] He ended up spitting his coffee all over his desk before going into one hell of a tirade, [b]"WHAT?!!!!! WHO THE HELL AUTHORIZED THIS?!!!! I WANT TO KNOW RIGHT NOW WHO THE FUCK SAID I NEEDED THIS!!!! I COULD JUST RING THEIR FAT LITTLE NECKS THOSE STUFFED SHIRTS AT THE SCHOOL BOARD!!!!! GAAAAAAHHHH I BETTER BE GETTING PAID DOUBLE MY TENURE FOR THIS BECAUSE GOD, GODS OR WHOSOEVER HELP ME, I AM NOT LETTING THIS SLIP BY WITHOUT RINGING THEIR BELLS THOSE BASTARDS!!!!!!!"[/b] [hider=The Letter] [i]Dear Professor Gray, It has come to our attention that you have been under alot of stress here lately, and so to better your given situation, we, the representatives of the Orean Cause School Board and the Teachers and Faculty Administration, have decided to assign to your class ART1306 an assistant teacher.
