Jacen was in a long dark corridor. The air was musty, thick with dust centuries old. Tapestries hung from the high walls, mosiacs of battles unrecognisable. Twisted scenes of torture and bloodshed. He tried to move closer to inspect on of them yet it seemed the harder he strived to get to the wall... the more contorted and twisted the hallway became. Fear pounded in his heart, where was he? What was happening?

A light, a faint sliver of light shone from a doorway at on e end of the corridor. Was someone holding the door open? Jacen tried to call out but the sound was lost in the putrid air. He tried to gag, to cough but the dust swirled in around him, whisping around his neck, groping at his eyes. He stumbled on toward the light, his eyes streamed with tears caused from the stinging dust that formed like a fog before him. Stumbling to his knees, still at least a hundred yards from the door, he reached out in vain for the shadowy semblance of a man standing by the doorway. His vision began to blur, his senses fading... he could see his sister Tracey, his parents... they were smiling at him, beckoning him forward.

The light washed away the their faces like a great tidal wave.

Jacen stood in the Library, there were people everywhere. Everyone cast their faces to the ground. There was no-one he could recognise... Something felt wrong about the library, something alien to him. It wasn't Aldridge but at the same time it was identical in everyway.
'Excuse me...' He put a hand on the shoulder of a passer by, 'i'm looking for...' The horrific face turned toward him, it was featureless save for a gaping mouth that let out a dull droning scream. It's skin was sickly white and sweating a viscous oil that oozed onto the floor. All the other people stopped their shuffling to look up at Jacen. As one they cried out to him in rage and contempt before shuffling in his direction thin sinewy arms reaching out to claw at him.
He backed up as far as he could go, hoping, praying for salvation. His back his the wall shelves stacked high with ancient tomes. Instinctively he look back at the book shelf and there he saw it... one book out of the thousands... one book that seemed to shine out like a single star piercing a cloudy sky. He reached out to grab it but before he could get hold of it the arms were on him, forcing him to the ground with strength belying their frail appearances... He screamed out in despair as the grotesque faces leered upto consume him...

then... all was black

Rosie sighed.
"Oh come one John, your not still mad about that incident with the acids are you?" She said, looking half bored, half fed-up. "Or was it the time I soaked my hand in Parafin, set it alight, then scared the be-jesus outta the teacher when I held it up to ask a question?" She smiled as she remembered that day. What she didn't mention was the fact that her hand accidently caught half of John's work on the way up.
"It was just a bit of fun! Vair vair amusing. Anyway, I thought we could talk about the weekend, maybe sneak into the village or go down to the river for a swim? What you guys think?" She smiled devilishly.

Kathryn looked up again as Don called out. Seeing what happened, she quickly raced to a bathroom, grabbed paper towels, wet them and raced back to where Don and Jacen were. Laying one of the cloths across Jacen's forehead, she looked questioningly up at Don, worry in her eyes. "What happened?" she asked.

Kira had continued to film the camera all through the conversation. She was just about to turn it off when Jacen was looking at her, however, the rousing arguement seemed to start up again when Don started yelling.

Smirking, Kira was enjoying every moment of this. Not only was she going to do absolutely fabulously on her project, but she was able to be entertained in the process.

In wasn't until when Kira saw Jacen fall to the floor that she finally turned the camera off and lay it on the bench by her side. She half-wittedly smiled and joked, grabbing the notebook and breezing through the pages where she finally found the list.

"Mr. Yorkshrine's Video Capture Project"
Someone crying.
An embarrasing moment.
A second embarrasing moment of the same person.
Fighting.
Dying
All of the other boring stuff.


Kira was absolutely overflowing with joy in the fact that she was able to cross off "Dying" from her list, and proceeded to stand up from the bench, grab all of her belongs, and leave when the most unfortunate of all unfortunate occurances that could have happened happened. Kira had glanced over at the fallen boy.

Not only had she glanced, but she found some dispicable trait that she actually cared in some remote area of her heart about this video project manican. To her, Jacen was solely the need to finish the last part of her project, but, to her dismay, her mother's side was coming out slightly.

Kira finally turned around and walked over to Don, Jacen, and Kathryn and explained her terms, "Now look," she abruptly began, "I don't do this that often, but for some obscure reason I feel that maybe, since I practically am using this boy to get a good grade I should, probably, help him. So, to make a freakingly long explanation short, is there anything I can do to help?"

"I don't know what happened. He was in a bad mood, then he, he... he just fainted," Don said.

Soon Larain came running up, a nurse behind her...

(not sure what the nurse should do...)

Kathryn nodded at Don' explanation, still a bit worried. She then turned to Kira. "I don't know what more can be done," she said and nearly breathed a sigh of relief as she saw a nurse coming with Larain.

(Sorry, not sure what to post for the nurse either)

(Oh my! Everyone's already started...)

Aubin was in a study hall...or should have been. At the moment in time she was lounging in a hammock that she had strung up between two trees in front of the library. No one was quite sure where the hammock had come from. The girl's black hair was tied loosely back and one leg dangled off the side as she rocked herself and held a book in front of her face. Her typical baggy sweatshirt, bearing the name of some prestigious college that she wouldn't even consider going to, was being used as a pillow.

Her brother in his own odd saunter that was almost dancing, but not quite walked up to her and promptly flipped the hammock, "Hello sister dear!" He exclaimed happily grinning over the girl, "There is some to do inside, thought you might want to know," he said casually, his sister was a sucker for gossip. He grinned as the girl scrambled to her feet, grabbed her sweatshirt and nearly ran to the library.

((i'll post the Nurse))

The nurse, Mrs. Davina Everitt, was a plump woman, in her mid 40's, although that did not seem to detriment her movement or ability to act on her feet. Feeling at his pulse, she frown as she ran her other hand across his forehead.
'You there child,' she exclaimed toward Kathryn, 'clean up his hand. The rest of you... make some space. The last thing this boy needs is you all crowding him. She opened up her health and safety satchel and began to pull out a few items...
'This should do just the trick.'

Kathryn nodded quickly and with a clean cloth began to clean the blood off Jacen's hand. She grimaced inwardly at the cuts, but made no outward display of emotion as she grabbed another clean towel to removed the remainder of the blood. "What about bandages?" she asked Mrs. Davina Everitt, glad that Larain had brought her.

There seemed to be something going on behind Angie, so she stuffed her book back into her rucksack, zipped it closed and walked over towards the group. There was someone in a nurse uniform and a boy lying down being tended to. Confused, she frowned. "What's going on?" she enquired, forgetting that she was supposed to be ignoring everyone.

Larain stepped back at the nurse's command. A girl asked what had happened, so being closest to her, turned.
"He just fainted. Not sure why, though," she said.

Don back off as well, worried for his friend.
"Mr. Bray's been too hard on him. I think it's the strees," he said, shaking his head...

(phew, now that I've caught up with everyone.... :P)

In frustration, Blythe McAuthor set down her flute, again. She sighed, thinking for a minute before walking away from it, figuring that would be best or else she might throw it out the window. She paced for a little while before tying her curly hair back, grabbing her book bag and hurrying out of the room. She muttered to herself as she walked down the hallways to the door leading outside. She used to enjoy playing the flute, however now it seemed to be more of a tedious task than an actual enjoyable pastime. Maybe some fresh air would do her good, she thought. After that she would go to the library to catch up on her studying. Blythe wished she could've stayed at home and never seen this school, but her father had thought this would be best for her. He had told her she would do fine here, so she would give it her best even if the teachers were sticklers for perfection.

"The stress? Well, that's comforting to know," Angie muttered. She was new to the school and didn't like the look of it. If students fainted from stress around here, she didn't want to hang around. She pushed back her hair and stepped back.

Don shook his head.
"He's had more stress then the rest of us, being the top of the team. This is the first time I've heard of a kid faint here for as long as I've been here. Which has been, how long?" he asked Larain.

"Three years," Larain said, putting a hand on her hip casually. With a grin, Don captured his twin, putting his arm around her neck and gave her a noogie.

"That's my little sister," he said, then released her. Larain glared at Don.

"What ever... " she said playfully, and took a few steps away from Don so he wouldn't catch her off guard again, then turned to Angie. "I'm guess you're new here. I'm Larain, and this is my annoying twin-who's really younger than me by two minutes-Donovan, or Don."

"Well, I'm Angie," Angie said, raising her eyebrows. "I am actually new here." She paused, unused to making conversation with people. She was used to scowling and walking away.

Larain nodded.
"Nice to meet you Angie. Hope to see you around," she said. "I'm going to get back to what I was doing before the interuption."

"Yeah, well, I swear the interuption was because of you wanting me to read one of your books," Don said, and before Larain turned to walk away tossed her the book he had been leafing through, the Sword of Shanara. "I'm bored with it, you can keep it."

With another glare at her twin, Larain walked away, back to her corner of the courtyard where she picked up her violin again, but didn't start playing yet...
