AND BACK TO THE ACTION WHERE WE LEFT OFF!

Sam woke up early in the morning like she had each day since she had been changed by nanobots and even farther changed later in the same year. Though that last time they had saved her life once again…but afterwards she felt just a little less human, with her body now being made up of over ninety percent machine.

The first thing Sam grabbed after showering up and getting dressed was that hot cup of coffee. She treated herself to a new flavor blend each day and that choice was made at random by her gadgeteer coffee machine that was a gift from one of the school's kids.

“Nice one today!” she smiled at the warm steaming cup, “Jitters,” she called to the computer controlled coffee maker by name to get its attention, “Remember that one please and number it seven eighty two please,” she asked the machine and it beeped in reply. “MMMM this one is good, chocolate, nutmeg, cream and a bit of cinnamon!” At least this flavor combination was better than the one time the machine gave her atomic hot sauce and brown mustard! What a combo that was!

Sam topped off her huge travel coffee mug before leaving her apartment three stories up just under the school’s tall observatory tower, she ran across the campus towards her ‘day job’ as the school’s second in command of all the security staff.

She slowed down from a highway speed to a slow stroll as she entered the school’s security office and waved to the few guards still there not patrolling the campus as the kids woke up and the night owl kids went to bed (the ones that could not be out in daylight for the most part or did not sleep, like the Drow twins for the latter)

Sam checked over the clipboard on the main desk for info on what had happened overnight or was planned for the day. Yes she already knew via her computer brain what was or should be on that list, but it's best to check for a manual or surprise write-in just in case.

“What time did the Leigh twins get in this morning?” she asked the desk sergeant as she flipped through the small stack of paper.

“Sam, they got in just after three AM,” the sergeant said as he spun around in his chair to face her and flipped the check-in sheet from the gate guard to the needed page, then pointed the information out with a finger for her.

“And where did they park that car they drove in, I did not see it sitting in the guest lot?” she asked.

“Well…Sir they tossed the keys at the gate guard coming in when she tried to see what lot they could park in and we put it in the staff parking lot for now.”

“You what?” Sam said, nearly spitting up a fresh sip of coffee.

“The guard was very mad at the twins for just tossing the keys like she was a valet, but after what she heard happened via the grapevine we agreed to park the twin’s car in the staff lot. The pair of them do teach three classes now, Combat archery, Martial arts for the Fae and Martial arts combat advanced, then they both assist in teaching at least five other classes without any pay. The twins deserve that spot to say the least!” the sergeant insisted.

“You're right Mike, they have earned that spot and see to it today sometime that the NYPD transfers that car into their name so that they can choose if they keep it or auction it off for charity? AND I bet a ‘hunndy’ they auction it off!” Sam smiled back as she went to her office.

“No bet Admiral!” The sergeant laughed back knowing the pair did not need the cash and the car was nothing compared to the time they spent with or on their bikes riding!

Over at Poe cottage

We both were nibbling on a huge box of still warm oven fresh cookies that Mrs Horton the cottage mother had given us and she was up early doting over the both of us Drow this morning. I heard a person at our door and Rehanna gave the air a quick sniff, “It’s Roz,“ she said to me mentally.

Rosalyn tapped gently at the twin’s door after Mrs Horton had told her the pair was back and inside their room, “Can I come in?” she whispered nearly silent and knew the Twins could overhear her soft voice with ease. Roz wanted to get in their room desperately because she knew the pair could get very depressed over one thing and not see how much good they did past or before that incident that caused their present mental anguish.

“No,” I said to the door, “We are very angry with the world right now and not really fit to be with.” I said as loudly as I dare.

“I don’t care and I care for you both no matter the issues you are having with the silly world!” Roz insisted firmly.

“No Roz…besides we are a bit stinky and have not showered properly in days.” I said back really wanting her inside the room, but could not because having her in here with us was something we really did not want to face just right now.

“I could shower with you both,” Roz playfully giggled back.

“Please no and we will shower up once all the other kids are gone.” I said sadly, then Rehanna added, “And please don’t tell the others we are back just now, we might be ready for some company for or by lunch time.”

Roz was about to say more when Mrs Horton came down the hallway and shook her head, “Don’t press them honey, the last week was a bad for them both and its best to leave them be until they are ready,”

Roz instantly gave into Mrs Horton’s urging and left the door behind without speaking another word, she knew if Horton said it…it was the truth and nothing would change that fact.

Mrs Horton waited until Rosalyn had gone back upstairs to her room and crept up to the twin’s door, “I baked more cookies and some brownies, then I have some breakfast sandwiches you both can nibble on until lunch,” is all she said and slipped back down the hallway. She turned around just long enough to see the care package vanish into the twins room and she smiled.

Once most of the other cottage’s kids were gone to class, we bagged up all our dirty laundry that had gone unwashed for a week plus what clothes we had been wearing on and off during our whole ordeal trying to get information on the human trafficking organization. Yes they had been washed a few times and one spell that cleansed all of that bitch Summer’s blood, they still need to be cleaned via a washing machine in our minds!

After we finished cleaning up our room, we slipped down the hallway and dropped each load separated by type of clothes into a washer/dryer and set the machine to clean them. We both loved the machines they were made by a school Gadgeteer that now sold them on the open market, each machine could figure out even if you set it wrong what was being washed, add the right soap-bleach and fabric softeners you need. Then wash and dry the whole load in one machine, these machines could even be told who had what allergies and would only add what was already on file as ‘okay’ to use for that person!

With all that set for the next hour or so, we went into one of the cottage’s showers, the best showers ever made on the planet in many students opinions and just stood there in the large streams of spraying or falling water hitting our bodies that helped massage all the past days' bad feelings away. We washed up and then just stood there enjoying the hot water and steam for an hour. We enjoyed the shower until the clothes washer beeped one of our phones as it was ‘done’ and ready for pick up.

We knew that there was little time left before some or enough of the rest of the kids in Poe would come back to the cottage to get books or other class needs for their next class period and if they spotted us there would be all kinds of questions we did not even feel like answering! So we bagged up what could be and quickly folded or hung the rest as fast as we could and hot footed it back to our room.

None since we had been gone a week, our room needed to be cleaned…mostly because we had not really done it before we left for NYPD duty that day and a few days even before that…CRINGE!

~o~O~o~

Across the campus at Crystal hall

Roz was plopping carryout box on top of carryout box into no less than four bags that she tied the handles up on to keep them closed and make them more easy to carry. She added in five sets of plastic silverware kits, a ton of napkins and wetnapps for good measure and then set off. Most kids at Whateley would have never noticed such a big order with so many HUGE eaters on campus and a large order of takeout was the norm all over campus on any given day!

But this was not just any day and Roz never really ordered this much food for herself! Besides when one parks an uber rare car in the staff parking lot…it gets noticed! And by ‘noticed’ means went straight to the rumor mill of who owns it and who drove it!

Right behind Roz a group of kids had moved down from their normal tables a floor up and sat there watching over her every move and made mental notes on what she ordered! And those orders stuck out today, no red meats in any of it, lots of fries…too many fries and ‘the’ stand out among all of them…chocolate chip pancakes…two orders and a double order of Swedish meatballs! Everyone on campus knew by now the only red meat the Drow twins could eat was the ‘chef’s’ special recipe of ‘Swedish Meatballs’ and everything else made with red meat would come back nearly instantly to launch itself across the room as they both retched it all back up!

Roz thanked the kitchen staff with a grin and spun around to be face to face with…ELVES. A huge bunch of elves! Gwen was in the front of the large group and sniffed the bags nearest her “Huuumm chocolate chip pancakes…with extra syrup!” she smiled, “I wonder who or WHOMMMS that is for?” she hummed referencing to two whos over just one!

“Yep I wonder and you are skipping your greenery class out in the school’s garden today…your favorite class of them all!” Fey questioned her with a knowing grin.

“Yes and?” Roz questioned the sidhe redhead.

“We heard that someone drove in a Koenigsegg CCR last night and parked it in the staff parking lot and there is no one on the academy’s staff that could or would own such a car but…the twins!” an already fuming at being kept in the dark Gwen said to Roz.

“I am not saying anything!” She spat and Roz started to walk off in a huff, but Rascal all but lept in front of her to block her path, “Why didn’t you or Mrs Horton tell us all that they were back!” he barked to her face.

“Mrs Horton nor I report to you and BYEEEEEEEEEEEEE” she sang and walked right round him.

Roz sped as best a human could to stay in front and away the group of mad elves! She walked into Poe cottage and right past a waiting Mrs Horton who stopped the pack of teens with an outstretched hand in the “HALT” motion, “Thanks!” Roz said quietly as she passed by to Mrs Horton’s quick nod.

“Mrs Horton, why are you stopping us?” Fey shouted over the rest of the kids.

“Because if Roz does what I hope she is planning…It will help is all I can say. So wait right here for a half hour before heading in or go back to class or finally, find some other place to be!” she warned sternly.

“So you are saying the twins are back?” Gwen’s raised voice asked among several other kids asking the very same question in a small rumble of voices.

“I plead the fifth!” The house mother spat out flatly and stood there silently.

~o~O~o~

Inside Poe cottage

Roz slipped up to the twin’s door and tapped twice, “I have your lunch can I come in?” is all she dares even ask of the pair.

The door clicked enough to tell her it was unlocked and open, so she slipped inside and closed it behind her. Inside she found one twin moping on their shared bed and the other was seated at one of the room’s desks staring at a laptop.

“Well I got your favorites and chocolate chip pancakes for you two pixies!” Roz sang trying very hard to add some happiness to the room now full of nothing but gloom!

Roz placed the bags on the floor and slid the room's table to the center, then started to unbag the whole mess, “Hey Violet and Lilac get your winged butts down here and dig in!” The pair of Pixies looked to the Drow for a signal of ‘yes or no’ and found none, So they took it upon themselves to fly down and grew to full Fae/elf size to help Roz out with setting the table.

Violet grabbed a few Grove fruit off the room’s tree and several from the vines hanging down from the ceiling. Lilac pulled a selection of sodas and flavored water from the room’s hidden fridge. Then both helped pull all the boxes of hot food from the bags and set them loosely up for each person’s seat, then finished off the whole setting with a pile of napkins and eating utensil kits.

Roz nodded to the whole table as she smiled to the two Pixies, “Thanks you two and as always you are the best!” She waved for them to sit, “Now eat up you two and I’ll work on getting your big sisters in on the eats!”

Both Pixies took it slow in grabbing a box of pancakes each and slowly adding syrup and butter to the mix…none of their usual digging right in or even looking happy at the sight of great food and they were not their normal voracious selfs either. That worried Roz greatly that the Pixies were upset by what had happened to the bunch over the last few days and just not the twins.

“Hey, whatcha you looking at? Roz asked stepping up behind the one twin at the desk who was entranced by a laptop, she gave that Drow a hug while reading the screen and was very sure this twin was Rohanna by how she was acting “Hummm Carrolyn Davis, age fifteen hometown Oakland California, Parents Jean and Max…one older sister Lisa age seventeen…What is this?” she asked again.

“It's Carrolyn…” she mumbled out.

“Who is she?” Roz asked again.

The twin on the bed sat up as the one Roz was hugging spun to face her and both yelled out in stereo, “THE GIRL WE GOT KILLED THIS WEEK, WHILE PLAYING AROUND LIKE FOOLS!”

What the twins didn't know was that Roz had been told by Sam about the whole mess in New York and Sam did not leave out any details because she knew that Roz would never betray the twins, anyone in Poe cottage or the whole school for that matter... It was mutants like them VS the whole world and friends one made here Whateley were meant for a lifetime well past any simple graduation ceremony or silly paper to hang on one’s wall!

“Stop it please, you didn't get her killed. She was murdered by some crazy woman and you helped save everyone else inside that hellhole. Do you even think the cops could have done better…even after it was found out the local cops were on the take?” Roz explained.

“When did they find that out…the cops being bribed to look away.” Rehanna asked from her spot on the bed.

“While you both slept or moped in this room here and the cops were not only bribed to ‘look the other way’, but to guide any and all investigations away from that operation, plus warn them if other investigations either local, state or federal got too close to the operation!” Roz almost growled at thinking people would take bribes to hurt kids!

Rohana only huffed out in anger at hearing that police were on the take, ones that swore to protect others and a certain death sentence to any being that did that in her far Fae past, “That might be true, but our fooling around still got a kid killed.”

Roz reacted to Rohanna's self hate the only way she could think of to snap the Drow out of this deeping depression...she slapped her on the face HARD!

The reaction Roz earned back was one most sane folks that know Drow well run away from! Now she faced two insanely mad Drow and one could tell by their fiercely burning red eyes!

Rohanna leapt to her feet and shoved at the already standing Roz, “GET OUT OF OUR ROOM RIGHT NOW!” she demanded with an angry shout.

“No….” she said back rather flatly “you two need to calm down, AND you both needed that slap to snap you out of this bullshit funk of yours!” Roz insisted as she stood her ground to the much larger and well trained elf.

“You make no demands of us while inside our room!” Rehanna barks as she stood up and took her own turn at being face to face with Roz.

“Well I do today if you want to ever see me again or even talk to me!” Roz gave back an ultimatum in tough love.

Rehanna leaned in even closer as her right hand raised towards Roz’s bare neck and Roz cringed inwardly at the simple gesture that she knew could end up being very deadly! But she knew the pair would not ever hurt her, they had promised never to unless Roz broke a very limited set of rules they had and she knew that the twins would keep that word of honor no matter what!

Both Drow stood there in silence, a dreadful silence that lasted far too long for Rosalyn’s taste! After the pair had said nothing for nearly fifteen very long seconds, she was thinking that they just might tell her to “Get the fuck out of their room and never come back!”

Then they just spun around silently and one went back to the bed and the other right back to its own spot at the room’s desk. Roz let out a sigh of relief, “Well how about both of you just come eat with me before all of this yummy food gets cold and then I will leave if you ask me to?”

The twin laying on the bed let out a long sigh and stood up to go sit crosslegged at the room’s table, then began nibbling at a box of fries covered in nacho cheese. Roz went to hug the one that was still sitting in her chair at the computer and leaned in to whisper in her ear, “Hey join us and tell me what you found out about Carolyn, because if you talk about her she is still alive in a way?” she reasoned with the depressed Drow.

“Not much to really say, she never really talked that much to Rehanna. I got Missy the really chatty one. But from what I found out, Carolyn was kidnapped about seven months ago and in that time it seems the operation broke her mentally. She went from being a regular outgoing teen to a reserved, beaten kid that was waiting to be punished or to be told what to do. The people that ran that place were waiting until she got a little older and a little cuter to make her a better ‘product’ for sale. We saw them doing this with several teens both girls and boys. It was a sick place no matter how one looked at it!” Rohanna growled out slowly as her eyes glowed bright red.

“Hey I get the anger, but you should look at this as more of a win. You saved how many trapped lives inside that place. Ones that would have been doomed to be sold or even worse!” Roz asked and when the twins said nothing she asked again, “Well, how many did you both save?”

“There were sixty two prisoners in there, some okay and some very bad off physically. The mentally broken ones might never be the same…” Rohanna gave and faded off to dwell on the few that might never regain a normal life.

“Hey they will get help, just look at right here in this very building. You can get someone like Kyley down the hallway in on this and she might be able to fix them right up!” Roz smiled at the pair, “You have the connections that can help, so use them!”

“Yes Kyley is lucky, she gets to fix them, we only get to stick them!” Rehanna added in as she reached for a box of Swedish meatballs.

~o~O~o~

The next day

An alarm of hard rock music blasted out of Roz’s phone that was still in her pocket pants across the room. She had stayed the night in the twin’s room and bed. But they had done nothing but really snuggle as Roz was there for them and not for her own fun or pleasure.

She gave the twin lying closest to her a small nuge while she whispered in its ear, “Time to wake up and go to class!” she nearly giggled knowing both twins were not asleep, but it was fun to play!

All the twin did was roll away from her side and flatly state, “Well go and please change your alarm music next time…that song really sucked!”

Roz’s brow raised in concern for the pair of Drow not wanting to go out, so she gave them an ultimatum, “You need to get up and out of this room today and I am not leaving you be until both of you get out!” Roz warned of her intent with a small growl.

“Roz just go to your room and get dressed, we promise to be right along to our first class of the day and sticking to class today will all depend on if the other students bug us to death today on what happened over the last few days.” one of the Drows said to her while it slid off the bed and padded over to the room’s closet to pick out clothes for the day.

“Good I’ll see you both at lunch in Crystal hall!” Roz beamed happily as she grabbed her clothes and sped from the twin’s room and down the hallway to her’s.

An hour later the twins strolled into their first class of today, Basic magic class or to the pair ‘magic for humans’ the one subject they were not doing too well in as ‘human magic’ is FAR FAR different from Fae magic!

Once in class, the pair went over to their normal lab table where most of the Academy’s Fae were already at. Many months ago the other elves attending school had banned together in one class and all teamed up in one group to help eachother out with learning magic. The team ranged from Fey who was the top student of the class, then down a bit in skills to Gwen and Bree, plus a few others in the middle and towards the bottom of the curve was Rhia and the twins. Rhia being a very new to elf life and the twins who were just not understanding the subject of human style magic. Now out of the pair of Drow, the Rohanna half was better at human magic being once human herself! And Rehanna being all Drow barely got by the subject on some days.

One thing that both Drow had noted as the class went on for several hours ws that no one brought up the subject of where the pair had been for the last few days and nothing of what had to be done while they were missing! Roz or someone, maybe Sam had told the rumor mill to shut up and lay off for now!

The day nearly flew by until dinner time when the twins were seated with most of their normal group in crystal hall eating. They spotted Sam heading their way and she did not look happy, but she was not accompanied by a team of security so it was not bad, just concerning!

Sam grinned to the table, “How’s it going all…I just need to borrow the Leigh twins for a short talk.”

Both twins stood up as they asked in stereo, “What now Sam?”

“Let’s talk outside away from the rumor mill and earshot of those who love to spill beans all over!” Sam smirked thinking of now reforming his ways ‘Peeper’. But still personal chats best be kept ‘personal’ and away from the general knowledge of the whole campus!

Sam walked with the twins outside and she then waved for the pair to sit on a bench next to her, but both did not take a spot to one side of her. But choose to sit one each side of her, a Drow sandwich with her being the possible dead meat in the middle…a very unnerving place to be if you knew the twins and what they could do!

“Carson wants you both to go visit Dr Bellows and have a chat about what happened over the last few days while you both were missing. Carson, she only knows the basics of the event and so does Bellows. But you need to talk with him and remember he can’t ever talk or communicate what he hears in his office to others by his binding oath.”

“We’ll go, might as well do something before we teach our Fae Archery class in about two hours!” both droned out in stereo as they stood up and left Sam quickly behind.

~o~O~o~

A short time later

Both twins walked into the main entrance of the medical office side of Doyle Medical Center and tapped a button to call the elevator to go up the three floors to Dr Bellows’s office. They opened the door and walked up to the person at the desk, who was a new girl they had not seen at Whateley yet…they did miss seeing Doogie behind that desk, he was so much fun and cared about who was there. Right now he is in college, the next step in his life.

“We are here to see the doc.” Rehanna said to the girl and stopped her task of working on paperwork. Rohanna just smiled as she checked the room for anything amiss, as they always do when in Dr Bellows’s office. They might thrust him, but he has stretched that trust quite a bit in the past!

“Go right in, he is waiting for you both,” the girl said and went right back to working with the stack of papers on her desk.

Both Drow headed to the inner office’s door and opened it, both caught a glance of FUBAR looking back at them surprised that the twins were here and he vanished on the spot! Rohanna shook her head to the sight, “That squidboy best not be listening in, as we warned him to never be inside this office when we talk unless WE call for him to be here!”

“You mean Luis or Mr Gentz?” Bellows asked as he relit his smoking pipe.

“No we said SQUIDBOY and MEANT IT!” Rehanna the other angered Drow barked and Bellows could tell they were really mad! Then add the small fact that both of them were not using Luis’s last name means they had lost all respect for the man…a bad place for anyone to be in!

“Humm so both of you are still mad after that incident last term with him entering your mind while you were hurt?” he had to ask while pulling more pipe tobacco from his desk.

“Yes, we told him how CREEPY he feels to us and that WE did not give him any permission to do so!” Rohanna spat at the Doctor not even willing to take a seat just yet as Bellows pointed one out for her.

“I understand and from now on I will make sure that Mr Gentz is not here at all before your arrival. Is that fair and what you need to see from me and my office on the matter?” he asked the pair.

“Fine by us, but best keep that word!” both warned in stereo!

The three of them chatted for the next hour about what had been going on since the twin’s last visit to the office and about what had happened in New York over the last few days. For the most part Bellows was still in the dark about what had exactly happened because Sam left out the more personal parts that occurred that law enforcement might not like!

Bellows found that the pair of Drow was a bit depressed for the last day or so and staying inside their room was their way of coping with it all. Then adding Roz being let in their room helped soothe the pair even more with them talking to her, what was discussed by the tree was something Bellows would not be made privy to…ever. Bellows was happy to see the Drows being able to handle more of what life tossed at them and not fly completely off, go ‘crazy’ or violent by lashing out.

After the twins were done with that short chat at Dr Bellows’s office they headed towards the academy’s outdoor sports area and went into a locker room building there to switch clothes with magic to their instructor armor from their days working with students the long dead Queen had them instruct during their time at the ancient Sidhe academy.

They waved greetings to the other Sidhe students entering the building as they went into the smaller section reserved for staff and instructors. Once done with a near instant change of clothes, both Drow chose a few bows from the vast equipment room to show the students a well made and maintained bow VS a badly made and maintained bow.

Sure they have done this a few other times this semester, but you have to keep making sure the students learned what had been taught with repetition and see if they could now tell the difference between a good VS bad bow with ease. One had to keep using a skill to keep it sharp!

Once out on the archery field, they placed all the bows on a table at random and out of the eight they brought, only two should be used and the rest tossed or reworked. The students lined up as they arrived and then bowed to the pair in unison as the class teachers assistant lead them

“Good day, we are ready Jabbress!” The class of Fae all said in unison.

“SO what have you all been doing while we were gone?” Rohanna had to ask her group of students and fellow Fae.

The class TA spoke up for the group of students, “We practiced most of the time and tested each other with small contests at range or on moving targets, or lastly compared each other's draw and shot for smoothness versus speed like you told us to do if you were gone for any reason.”

Rehanna stepped forward to address the class, as Rohanna stood by, “Good, Good! For today’s class we will review choosing a bow and telling us what is wrong or right with each one on the table here.” she pointed out, “If the Bow is repairable you have to tell us how it should be fixed. Then we will practice slow draws and attempt to hit a target with your eyes closed. We are stepping it up a bit today…I feel, we feel as if you are all ready for this next step in your lessons!”

Class time stretched out over the next three hours as the class showed its knowledge and skills to their pair of instructors. Both Drow were proud of how far the class had come this term and hoped that someday with years of practice these fellow Fae might even match their teachers on some major level.

As the class ended Rehanna reminded them, “Hey we are going to restart our off campus classes on fighting out in the Grove next week sometime. We will let you all know the time to meet up at and we are doing it at our normal times to fit your scheduled classes by holding them at night. So get your beauty sleep in!” she grinned at Fey, one of the gorgeous girls on campus who stuck her tongue back out at her in a jestful reply.

Later that same night

Both Drow were quite busy inside their shared room catching up on lessons, they might be students and one part of them had been a human adult. BUT most classes at Whateley were very advanced unless one needed a remedial class or one suitable for their grade level. Rohanna and Rehanna were seeking to get at least one full college degree before they left!

One twin made itself busy with catching up on English studies and the other was busy doing page after page of Trigonometry to show the instructors that they both understood the subject so far. In the past they only understood the subject in relation to their inherent ‘porting’ and most of that was by nature and they never had to show the ‘work’ of coming to an answer before!

Rehanna just flipped a page in her book and hit enter on her electronic work pad as she beamed. “BREAK time, that chapter is done and snacks await us all!”

“COCO all around and what can we find in the floor’s snack machine?” Rohanna grinned back as she closed her own book with a thud

Both Pixies hollered back from their shelf and its many pillows, “YES YES COCO please!”

Soon enough the pair stood in front of the small row of snack machines on this floor and these were far far different than the ones most humans use. These had bigger sized items to buy, like instead of a small hand sized bag of chips the selection was made up of huge family sized bags and choosing a candy would mean you got a 5 pound bag of it over the single person size. Some mutants need to eat far more than humans and this place catered to that need!

All of the machines were floor to ceiling in size and checked daily if there was a need to be refilled. Then add most human vending machines used money, but here at Whateley they used the same dining card one would use for meals. The school rather absorb the cost and further studies into mutant kind and one of these was studying how much one type mutant versus another type ate on a given day!

Rehanna was busy making several selections with their meal cards as Rohanna found out that this break area’s hot drink machine was out of coco! And since the Pixies would not really shut up till they got their personal fill, so she huffed out in defeat, “Well let's all go look at the other breakroom on the other side of the floor?”

As the pair passed by the main building staircase heading to that side of the large cottage, Rehanna sniffed the air a few more times than normal, “Who is that being inside Poe at this hour?” she questioned a newcomer being inside the building at past three am and one she had not smelled before!

Rehanna glanced down the staircase and found something that did not agree with her at this hour, not even close! And that ‘something’ was one student dressed up as a ninja, yet another in a catwoman costume and two others dressed in spy outfits straight out of a video game.

They all looked like they were trying to steal the cottage’s bust of POE!

Two of the buch was busy disarming the many alarms on the bust while the others kept watch and the one watching this staircase was shocked to spin around after checking how her team was coming long to find two angry Drow with glowing red eyes staring down at all of them.

Rohanna placed the three huge coco mugs she was carrying on a closeby bench as Rehanna just let the assortment of a half dozen large bags of snack food they had just bought in her arms fall to the floor. “Don’t…just don’t! I am very mad right now and should not be tested tonight!” is all Rehanna spat angrily as all but one kid RAN for their lives! Obviously they had heard of the twins!

The last kid still standing there was dressed in spy garb and just looked at that pair as if they were out of their minds to even challenge him, “So what are you going to do?” he questioned as he literally ‘bucked up’ and puffed out his chest wrongly thinking that his bigger size of six foot five would scare the pair of girls.

Rehanna stalked down the stairs while she asked “Let me take a guess…you are very new, like this week ‘new’ to this campus?” she questioned with sarcasm dripping on all her words.

“Just got here Wednesday! And they told me I could get points with the cottage by taking this thing and you are not stopping me!” he growled.

“Well let me take a guess, either you are a somewhat well trained Exemplar or a Brick of some sort to be this brave and stupid!” Rehanna barked at the teen.

“Exemplar five and I have shields.” he said nonchalantly as if those two powers set him personally above all others!

Rohanna walks right up to less than a foot away from him, “So you want this fight over that?” she asked, thumbing over her shoulder to the bust of ‘Poe’ the namesake of the cottage and symbol of cottage honor.

“Yep unless you girls run away like you should!” he almost laughed back.

“Okay let's do this, are you ready…shields up and such?” Rohanna asked.

“Yep ready when you both are?” he questioned not knowing what was coming his way.

“Alright go on ONE!” she said as Rehanna came up beside her and shouted in a very 300 movie-ish way “THIS IS POE COTTAGE! And she straight kicked him in the chest, the HARSH blow sent the teen flying down one full staircase and right through Poe’s main doors where he landed in a heap on the walkway in front of the door.

“Hey I did not count down all the way!?” Rohanna shouted at her twin.

“And I don’t care and I am hungry!” Rehanna mumbled back as she climbed the stairs again to gather her fallen bags of snacks.

The thief and interloper rolled up to his feet a bit unsteady and adjusted his top as it had nearly been blown off his backside by Rehanna’s fierce surprise kick. Before the kid could get going back inside the cottage, a voice came from the bench beside the entry door as he grabbed the door handle, “Don’t do it, they WILL kill you and I will as a witness say it was all your own fault…you have been warned.” the strange voice said flatly with zero emotion showing on any of the words.

“What do you mean kill?” he asked, spotting a beautiful girl who was sitting on the bench that was just now closing up a book that she was reading in the dark shadow of the building.

“Kill as in kill you, end you, stop your life. They have done it many, many times before today and I am very sure to have done so this very week off campus and will do it to you…then get away with it! Both of them are on the UV list you should have read by now, the chapter in your school tablet that one has to read by the end of your first day here on who___ not to mess or fight with at all. ___ one with the pictures of each student next to a basic ‘why it's a bad idea__fight with them’ short description.” the girl answered back in slightly broken english, she might have missed a few words here and there…BUT THE WARNING WAS CLEAR!
(do note when I use “__” its her skipping words she does not know or use correctly)

“Humm I am tough and they are not wearing a UV armband!” he huffed.

“One would not be wearing a UV armband inside the cottage where EVERYONE knows who you are__also knows what you can do…makes sense young one?” she sighed like an older person talking to a small child.

“SO who are you?” He had to ask the girl with a short growl, a girl that was keeping him from a fight that he seemed to want very badly.

“Kyley Barron,” is all she said as the boy’s eyes went wide at the sound of her name.

“The GOO girl?” he asked meekly and anyone could hear the primal fear growing in his voice!

“Yes the resident and for right now only GOO girl or guy on campus.” she said uncrossing her legs and finally standing up from her sitting on the large bench, “And one that is getting angry with even talking to you about not going into MY COTTAGE right now…I might join in__this fight__have some fun and maybe feed on what is left of you afterwards!” she grinned evilly and licked her lips hungrily!

He ran! And ran down the path back towards the direction of Melville cottage, the same cottage where most of the richer students were housed! Kyley shook her head to the boy’s fleeing shadow, “He actually believed that I would eat him? Silly young one!”

Shadowsblade here.

This story in a joint venture with a group of fan fic authors, so far this group is made up of Nuuan, then Branek and finally myself. We all got together and after a jumpy start decided to make a group of stories that all take place within the Whateley fanfic universe.

To have an idea about the main protagonist this story's will develop
around here is a short introduction.

Vantier a Whateley Tale :Written by Shadowsblade
Ancient and Powerful Vantier awakens in a foreign world, struggling to
find her place in it.

You might ask yourself what is the Whateley Universe? To make it short,
here is a abstract straight out off the wiki.

Whateley is a Prep School for different teens. VERY different ones. Where else could a kid go to a school that has a resident demon living in the furnace? Or meet magic users, mutants of every imaginable kind, get trained in how to handle some rather odd abilities, and worry about
flunking Freshman English? Come visit Whateley Academy, nestled in the
lovely hills of New Hampshire. Just down the road from a town named
Dunwich... (Mythos jokes purely intentional).
This is the Whateley Academy Universe, a shared universe with over a dozen authors and more than a hundred stories (and counting). The stories range in size from vignettes to novels. It's a Mutant High scenario with both a strong transgender theme and a slightly watered down Cthulhu Mythos theme.

It's also very much a work in progress.'
If you want further information you will find them on.
