    Nutmeg

    Afeira enjoyed many things but most of her delights had a down side, for example she loved to figure skate, she loved the speed and gliding sensation under her feet but she did in fact despise to cold more than anything else. To be exact, her name Afeira was actually the native word for “Follower of the Fire Gods”. Her fingers worked up and down the keyboard like a villager who had never been past the marketplace or town square, working the fields up and down. Her eyes stayed glued to the screen of the online chat room on her laptop that lay lighting up the dark dormitory as the thunderstorm outside was muted by the “Ding!” that signaled her message was sent to her newest buddy who’s username was SilentScream…

    SilentScream: Cuz Ur poisoned!

    BlackKat13: HELP ME!

    Afeira woke with a start lying on her pillow next to the laptop that was flashing uncontrollably.
    “Huh? Oh god my head hurts!” she rubber her forehead and looked to her right, her neck aching a bit, she blinked at the awkward site that sent shivers down her spine, a slice of pumpkin pie, untouched sitting gon her dresser, she knocked it into the trashcan and smothered her hands in Purell before biting her nails again and then pulled dup her AIM tab:

    SilentScream: Lolz, but seriously wat’s ur name?

    SilentScream: Kat u dere?

    SilentScream: HELOOOO?!?!

    SilentScream: Kat?

    *SilentScream logged off and 6:47:30 P.M.*

    She looked at the clock that read 9:23:53 P.M. the rain sat still on the window and the dark overcast sky looked strange, she stared across campus happy she’d bought contacts over the long summer and watched a single light go out on the Male Dorm 65. A Backlit silhouette seemed to be staring straight at her for about five minutes until it set down a small disk it was holding and began to move it’s jaw, it was eating something. She looked at the disk on the end table and was it was shaped like a sliver of a pie chart, only three dimensional…a slice of pie? It waved at her and then posed like Michael Jackson, moon walked to the curtains, drew them and turned off one last dim light
    “Oh…my…..god!”….

    “OOOOHMEWGAWD AFEIRA! My account isn’t working, you’re a nerd right?” Cybelle sat in her chair in the dorm typing on Afeira’s computer ill-manneredly picking her nose at the same time
    “The word is ‘Dork’ thank you! And you’d better not get any snot on my laptop or I’ll be pissed” she looked up to find no resemblance of life whatsoever in the Dorm Room labeled 65 and frowned. “Where’d Poison go?”
    “Uhhh, out the Nurse’s Office’s butt?” Cybelle frowned and smacked the computer after it refused her password again.
    “No Poison as in the Proper noun! The dude” she lifted Cybelle’s hand off of the distressed laptop and smiled at her giving her that ‘Met-a-guy-last-night’ look
    “Yeah, over the internet, he might be like…Michael Jackson or Nurse Johnson or something!”
    “Asked him, his name is Doku”
    “Who name’s their kid Dooky?”
    “Doku! Not Dooky”
    “Yeah whatever! Can you help me with this godforsaken-oh thanks!” she smiled at the laptop as it refreshed itself to a bubbly looking page labeled “Create-An-Account” “Wait I have to make a new one?” she frowned and looked at Afeira who shrugged and sat down, staring blankly at the drawn curtains and drawing circles round it on the frosty window “But all my work is on this account!” she frowned harder and crossed her arms, chewing her tongue and sat up, pulling her head away from the screen and giving it a scrutinizing look then jumped as a clicking noise signaled not a Text Message but that Cybelle’s brother Sinn was in the room “Sinn get out of the girls dorms you pervert, what’re you on some covert operation ‘Get girlfriend before Autumn Ball’ or something!”
    “Bella the doors closed no teachers to hear me in here”
    “Alright cool, so what’s up? But seriously man, get a girlfriend”
    “I got one! I shot that deer down with these awesome guns!” he flexed, pulled his dress shirt sleeve up and kissed his bicep
    “You shot down a tiger with that air soft piece of-”
    “Oh shut up! I think Afeira’s got a boyfriend too, lookider! Circling’ that window, you go and circle girl, don’t back down from love!” he began to sing Christine’s part from phantom of the Opera “In dreams he came to me!” he placed his hand softly on his chest and gave the headless manikin in the corner goosey eyes and began to salsa with it up and down the carpeted floor of Afeira’s dorm. Afeira jumped at the thought of his approach in her nightmare and how strange it was that pumpkin pie had waddled its way into her dorm just after she’d almost suffocated
    “Sinn cut it out”
    “You think he’s annoying, wait till you meet his twin, Chaos” she said
    “They named their sons Sinn and Chaos? They get into trouble often?”
    “That dynamic duo makes this opera singing freak seem like a little girl sitting in a garden all normal and cute!” she typed in her new account name and password and logged in “Yes!” she whispered, doing a little victory dance and swaying her long silver hair back and forth on the bed and bounced on her knees and shins.
    “You’re an elven Snow Witch yet you can’t log into a computer?”
    “THE PHAAAAAAAAA-”
    “Oh my god Sinn shut up!” Cybelle stopped her dance abruptly to give Sinn cold stare and begin typing frantically then stopped when a pop-up emerged on the screen “Hey, Siren Cream wants to talk to you”
    “Silent Scream? HE’S ONLINE!” Afeira snatched the computer away and began to text like there was no tomorrow
    SilentScream: Afeira what happened last night?
    BlackKat13: I had a nightmare after I fell asleep, did you just call me Afeira?
    SilentScream: So? You told me it was Ur name last night…y?
    BlackKat13: But I thought…never mind Poison…uh, did I send u sum weird thing about chocking on nutmeg last night too?
    SilentScream: no
    BlackKat13: Weird, could’ve sworn….
    SilentScream: who’s the weirdo dancing in Ur dorm?
    BlackKat13: Sinn of the Dark Ones, he’s Cybelle’s brother. Their fraternal-identical triplets, crazy odds right? So it’s like triplets but ones just a loner and the other two are identical
    SilentScream: Hey that Cybelle chick isn’t half bad looking
    BlackKat13: Don’t even try it! She’s way too harsh
    SilentScream: I have my way wit the ladies!
    BlackKat13: Being creepy doesn’t attract us….
    SilentScream: Hey, being mean doesn’t attract me
    BlackKat13: Who says I like u?!
    SilentScream U were friggin drawing circles on Ur window where u thought I was!
    BlackKat13: How’d u kno?
    SilentScream: I rigged Ur dorm
    BlackKat13: Ud better shut that off while I change
    SilentScream: no, I don’t think I will
    BlackKat13: Ur a psycho!
    SilentScream: Say hello to you’re manikin and can u tell Sinn to stop breathing on the dot on the stump-neck, it fogs my lenses
    “Sinn knock it off, put the poor doll down”
    “Fine, sheesh”
    SilentScream: Thank you, btw u have pretty eyes
    BlackKat13: Thank u, wat do u look like? I want to see u!
    SilentScream: NO! NONONONONOOOOO!
    BlackKat13: Okay okay okay, great Chaos is here to go kill someone’s peaceful Sunday with his brother
    SilentScream: lol
    *BlackKat13 logged off at 1:21:46 P.M.*

    “YEAH LET’S ROCK THIS JOINT SINN AND CHAOS GOES HAND IN HAND BABY!” Chaos’s silky pitch black hair shook slightly in it’s “emo” cut over his eye as he threw his hands in the air and brought them back down, giving his little brother a thick noogie
    “Ahhh, dude let go”
    “Would you two get outa my dorm before you kill somebody?”
    “Yeah we’ll kill you and take over the dorm!”
    “YEAH!” Sinn vanished and reappeared in a thick plume of smoke behind Afeira catching her in a headlock and laughing “Hold still my pretty!” he cackled in an evil voice
    Sinn sent icy tendrils out of his gloved hands and out around Afeira’s feet in a thick cloud of fog on the floor around them, they climbed slowly up her legs, crystal fingers plowing it along slowly
    Afeira screamed at the top of her lungs which thankfully this time sounded
    “They won’t actually kill you” Cybelle shot her hand out and knocked Sinn clear in the head with a ball of black misty cloud that almost looked like a witch in a broom smacking his temples with her broomstick. Chaos gripped his head and fell to his knees, grimacing, face to the floor just as Sinn did, they both chanted “Ow” seemingly endlessly until their eyes watered “Go home before you kill someone for real!” snapped Cybelle, annoyed.

    Afeira tapped her long nails against the wooden desk, anticipating the bell to ring and set her free off to her dorm. Her faded attention snapped back to life as an Office Aide came in with a white slip that called Chaos and Sinn to the office, the professor held it up and shook it as if to say “Come get it, I’m too lazy to give it to you!” Sinn and Chaos stood and walked at the same time, taking the slip and reading it mouthing out the words at the same time. They gave each other a terrified look and gave a loud “GULP”. Sinn stuffed the paper in his ice blue skinny jeans and jogged to towards the door, gesturing for Afeira to follow
    “You need to come” he said in a deep somber voice that only sounded that calm when he was furious or depressed. Afeira stood up and began towards the door along with Sinn and Chaos but the Professor held onto her belt, it didn’t matter to her if he took it off, it was for apparel and had no use to her anyway, the plaid skirt wouldn’t fall if an angry Demon can and tried to pants her…or skirt her in this case….
    “Miss Fayt this is no time for leaving class, it only called for Mr. Gothiqa, the both of them and only the both of them!”
    Afeira frowned and gave Sinn a desperate look but he just shrugged, his eyes began to water and he turned quickly without a word, grabbing Chaos’s black Slipknot shirt and slammed the door shut, knocking the wooden bathroom pass clear off the glass and wood door “Professor please? Can’t you tell it’ important?”
    “Yes, indeed I can but I’m not letting you go!”
    “What? No! That’s not fair!”
    “Sit down Miss Fayt”
    “NO!”
    “Sit DOWN!” he threw his hand out in anger. A burning sensation shot up through Afeira’s legs that slapped together like a soldier and sat themselves down on the chair, try as she might, she couldn’t pry herself up. Everyone in the room protested at once
    “Professor let her go!”
    “It’s not fair let her go with the Goths!”
    “This is stupid leave her be!”

    The bell rang in a loud beeping noise delivering Afeira from the burning spell sensation in her legs; she stood up without thought and burst into an aspired sprint, darting down the halls until she caught a glimpse of Sinn and Chaos. She reached out and caught Sinn’s shoulder, he turned, his eyes where watering and red and he looked tired and desperate, Chaos refused to look up however, he just kept his face down leaving trail of small dark dots of salt water on the grey stone floor. Sinn opened his mouth to say something but only a frail chocking noise came out, he shook his head and looked as if he where about to burst into tears at any moment. Afeira panted but stilled herself quickly and grabbed Sinn’s hand, leading him towards the office and opened the door, a gurney sat in the dim empty room and a pale body with silver hair lay on it’s side “Oh god, that’s not….is it?” Sinn nodded as if to say “Yes” and fell to his knees, burying his face in his hands and shaking, gasping every so often. Chaos didn’t follow along as he usually did, for the first time since she’d met them. Sixteen long years ago, Chaos was mad, very mad. He picked up one of the few roses on an ebon bench b the gurney-like table and stared at it, giving it a scrutinizing look and squeezed in mercilessly, his face grew hateful and cold as if the rose had killed his sister or something awful. Suddenly the poor flower burst into cold blue icy almost black flames and disintegrated in his hands.
    “I-” he muttered but didn’t know what to say “I’m leaving.” It was so unlike Chaos to act this way. Afeira had actually thought of doing a report on Chaos’s abnormal lack of sadness but this distraught side of him frightened her. She watched helplessly and cradled shaking Sinn in her arms or at least his upper body. He was much larger than her as where many other guys. It was simple. They grew, she didn’t but her heart loved all the same. Chaos was gone and she felt that even though he was just down the wall there would always be a wall separating Cybelle and Sinn and her from him. Forever more. But what struck her the most is her lack of desolation over this. It seemed to be all moving to quickly to stop. The door reopened and a thin tall man in a lab coat approached Cybelle’s body not even bothering to say “Hello” or “I’m sorry” he began to prod Cybelle’s pale or paler than usual arm and then turned to Sinn
    “You are her brother?” Sinn looked up and nodded once, sitting all the way up and wiping his eyes. Afeira patted his back and hugged him almost sideways as if she where trying to bump her waist against his or something
    “I will take charge of this, Sinn is a bit….weak right now” Afeira stood up and walked towards the corpse shakily. Avoiding cold eye contact with her late science partner
    “Her cause of death was a fall very far, probably from the northern tower near the male dorms sixty through eighty” Afeira’s brow furrowed in, confused, shocked
    “Dorm…sixty-five?” she thought of Doku…how Cybelle had called his ‘Dooky’ and looked at the floor then back p and the man in the lab coat “Dorm sixty-five is right next to the tower!”
    “Yes but dorms sixty through eighty where closed in nineteen thirty-seven. Someone was choked to death there so they closed it off”
    “Silent screams…”
    “Yeah, you can’t scream when there’s no air”
    “I have to go, Sinn come on”
    Sinn stood up weakly and followed without protest or a word. He turned finally, he looked stern and simple and complex all at the same time “I can’t take this anymore, I have to see it”
    “See what?”
    “Everyone has an emblem or an insignia, something that tells you your Majykal whether it be a physical mark on your skin or a weird habit or even a string of events and since Bella was nine she’d always complain about a mark on her lower back that looked like a dragon peering at her it she said it was a bruise, I saw it once and only once and it had these cold scrutinizing eyes that seemed so powerful and strong and….I dunno, it…It scared me….”
    “Sinn, I’m so sorry” Afeira reached to stroke his silver hair in the identical cut of Chaos’s but h grabbed her wrist in his pale cold hand, it shook. His eyes stared into hers in a lonely midnight blue dotted in silver specks and he dropped her wrist
    “I have to see the dragon again” he began into the classroom but stopped as he opened the door, his eyes kept to where Bella was or where she was he shook, he just stood there and shook, and it scared her. Afeira reached up and touched his shoulder but he made to sign of comprehension.
    “Sinn you’re scaring me, please-”
    “Too bad”
    “What?”
    “Look Afeira, you may be the queen bee out there” he gestured to the door then the window “but just because you’re related to a fire goddess but at school!” he shook his head as if ashamed but continued “Look at the school motto: ‘The Majyk binds up all’ meaning we are one and you won’t get things your way and everything will not be alright so don’t give me some heartfelt crap!” he stared at her with colder eyes, the beautiful night sky that once lingered in his eyes was gone, replaced by a frigid, hollow, deadly winter-darkness dotted in snow
    “Sinn I’m sorry, I-”
    “You should be, it’s your fault!” Afeira stood there, numb, and shocked…My fault? How is any of this my fault, if he thinks that just because Poison lived in number sixty-five he killed Bella-?
    “Sinn”
    “Like I want to hear it right now” He turned around and unblocked her view careful not to touch her as he headed to the male dorms, she found the body laying there, the dragon faded on her lower back, the silver hair had no shine and was old like old silverware worn and barely healthy anyways. And the eyes, the powerful penetrating eyes, where closed. The dragon looked so intricate and vivid, like I was actually a dragon on her back, a sleeping dragon. A dead dragon.
    “Sinn please?!” She called but he was gone and her lonesome voice only echoed down the halls and curious as she was she couldn’t get his name out of her mind and she had one wish, for her single scream that called to the cause of all this Chaos to return, silenced.

    BlackKat13 biggrin on’t
    BlackKat13: POISION DON’T

    Little did Afeira no the mute button had been tapped by Poison’s elbow as he reached for a syringe full of thick black liquid. Sinn sat on the unmade bed and lay down paying no attention to the flashing AIM on the screen across from him
    “Man I feel like crap, give me the syringe dude I can’t wait any longer to be with Bella again” he reached for the syringe but Doku only denied it and began adding other weird liquids and powders to the small cup he intended on refilling the syringe with
    “Obviously I’m a bit busy Sinn”
    “Sorry” Sinn got up and read the messages from afar, his use for glasses where outdated weeks ago “Man who is that?”
    “Who”
    “Black Cat 13?”
    “No one of importance right now”
    He continued to read the long list of messages until it all clicked, he got up and knelt down in front of the desk, typing:
    A-f-e-i-r-a i-m s-o-r-r-y h-e-l-p m-e p-l-z
    He looked up to find BlackKat13 had logged off two minutes ago.
    “Sinn get off of my computer”
    “YOU DID IT!” Sinn screamed, footsteps quickened pace heading upstairs “YOU KILLED BELLA!” the words echoed down the hall and to the footsteps
    “SINN! SINN YELL AGAIN AND I’LL FOLLOW YOUR VOICE!”
    “AFEIRA!”
    “Shut up!”
    “Poison?”
    “No, I’m not sad anymore!”
    “No, DOKU MEANS POISON!” Afeira put to pieces together in her head and ran frantically down the hallway until her eyes caught the printed 65 on the door and shook the handle but it didn’t move, no budges, nothing. She banged her fists seemingly endlessly on the door “DOKU NO LET HIM OUT!” She couldn’t help but feel so strange, her hands bled from there hundreds of splinters but she continued ignoring the crimson heat on her palms.
    “Doku stop, I’m better stop it” he grabbed Doku’s wrist the twisted the syringe away from his own neck, Doku snapped in anger; he placed a strong, pale hand on Sinn’s neck and squeezed.
    Afeira heard the kicking and argument inside and dropped her knees crying, leaving and trail of red down to where her palms where now spread out as two bloody handprints on an old oak door “Poison please!” she pleaded, banging on the door one last time
    Sinn gasped for air, his pale skin began to turn blue as Doku liked his short sharp fangs, staring at Sinn with cold, blood red eyes. Sinn reached for the door but Doku slammed his other hand down on him, squeezing harder. Sinn kept a grip on his wrist but it was quickly loosening, he let go all together and reached for Doku’s neck but found himself paralyzed. Doku let go. A shot of fiery hot pain shot up Sinn’s weakened body, he shook and cried out in pain, writing around and the floor and scratching and grabbing at the nonexistent flames all over his skin. He screamed louder as a frigid cold twined itself into the fire like he had fallen through an Ice hole and cut him on the jagged pieces, everywhere. And then he stopped, dead in his tracks of flaming cold pain he stopped, his eyes closed, his body still and the small black hole on his neck oozed a small crystal blue liquid that looked like watery toothpaste with the glitter in it. His shine, his Majykal tint to his skin that singled him out in the realm of reality faded away quickly
    Afeira sobbed uncontrollably outside of the door, shaking like nothing mattered anymore, she couldn’t bring herself to move, only lay there still and stiff and motionless….

    Part: 2/2
    She lay still on her bed in a long red nightgown with her name embroidered on her breast pocket, she sat up tiredly, slowly as her braided hair fell to her back and sat on the bed waiting to be unbraided, it never did well bound and enjoyed its freedom near her hips. She rubbed her forehead and winced, her forehead and temples pulsated and her ears throbbed. “Ugh, my head” she moaned and ran her fingers through her hair and pulled the braid out slowly “Why’s it braided” she ruffed her brow having no apparent recollection of ever braiding her hair, she sat up and shook her had baffled at the gown she didn’t own either but her name embroidered, she looked across the room at the manikin in the corner and muttered “I hate you”
    “I know, love, I know” said a cool, relaxed voice from the corner; it rang of death and hatred. A tall thin young man no older then seventeen emerged from the lingering darkness in the corner of the room that was a bright stinging Tuscany orange. The autumn dusk painted the walls and tinted the light but he remained the same, black skinny jeans, pitch black like the screen of a sleeping computer. A white and black striped “Death Note” shirt and a blood red emo cut down to his shoulders, he smiled at her, a sadistic smile flashing his fangs and began towards her, cold penetrating red eyes staring into her own fire red “Red eyes, how pretty!” he joked and stroked her cheek, she pulled away but could only move so far finding herself stuck to the bed
    “Why can’t I get up?” she asked in a shaky voice, tears in her eyes
    “Your legs are duct taped to the bed; did you know duct tape is the least affective tape when trying to mend a broken duct?”
    “What meaning is there in that?” she withheld a gasp as he whispered duct tape trivia to her neck and smiled
    “So Chaos won’t try to fix you neck with the used duct tape”
    “Chaos? CHAOS!” she screamed but it didn’t echo this time, Chaos just rolled over, duct taped, Poison seemed to be abnormally addicted to very odd things, he reminded her of Jigsaw from the saw movies which only made her cry more considering she now knew he wanted to win her heart and break her neck at the same time
    “Afeira, I’m-” mumbled Chaos but he was cut off as Poison gave his gut a hostile kick and then bent down, whispering something coldly into his ear and spat on the ground next to Chaos’s head, he began to squirm around as if trying to escape but Poison hooked his foot under on of the rows of loose duct tape and dragged him towards the bed, chaining him to the bed frame and taping more silver uselessness onto his mouth
    “Don’t fret, dear” Poison bent over and gave her a hug, pinching her back slightly
    “Arg! What was that for?”
    “I’m cutting your skin, and, done!”
    “Are you mad?” she twisted around but couldn’t find herself free from him grip
    “There you go” he rubbed her back directly over where it stung, making it even more painful as he worked a powder into it that smelled somewhat like cinnamon and pumpkin pie
    “What are you doing?” She squirmed around and screamed until he let go, opened the door, left and closed it behind him, locking it slowly. Her throat began to close up, she writhed around and the stinging flowing up and down her body, crying harder. She gasped for arm and scratched at her throat then reached at her bed table for a bottle of medication, her hand shook and she sobbed now, unadulterated, uncontrollable tears poured down her cheeks. She gasped for but her throat was cold and stuck. Chaos shook on the bed frame, knocking Afeira around and swaying her to and fro, grunting and crying trying with all his might to get himself out of this hellhole.
    Afeira dropped, her body had broken down. She needed air and she needed it badly. Her pale skin grew an icy blue and her eyes began to fade, she stroked her throat with the last bit of mustered strength in her system and then stopped, stopped still in her place. The same way Sinn had. Doku stood outside the door
    “Call and I’ll follow your voice love, I want to save you…just call to me!” he whimpered, “Fine then, deny my offer but I’ll give you what you want, to feel welcome with your queen o’ follower,” his eyes grew teary and his arms shook as he dropped a match on the ground under her dorm door and began down the hallway, girls opened their doors not noticing the fire but Doku’s awkward beauty. “Why?” he asked the ground quietly, exiting the main door and heading down the field, tears dropping on his clothing as the scent of hot nutmeg and blood filled his nose, lingering from only a few long moments ago…

    September 3173

    Two girls sat down under a tree, the courtyard was full of freshman on the first Friday of the first week of school. It was about lunchtime and sandwiches seemed to be the star attraction
    “Oh my god you guys!” exclaimed a girl in white short shorts and a dark navy blue Hollister shirt “I saw this totally hot senior guy with like red hair and stuff” her words dragged as she felt the cold eyes of a desolate looking junior on her. Coldly scrutinizing her, judging her
    “Don’t linger so close to him Freshman” snapped the Junior, flipping her frost white hair back and her grey-blue eyes shifted onto the Freshman’s own bright green ones, lacking the Majykal tint the others all had “He’s a very unkind boy” she napped
    “Well you’re not too nice either but come on, he’s hot!” She flipped her hair back and gave Doku a flirtatious look, he gave her the same cold glare that the Junior had and turned his back to his, sitting there holding a small glass vial full of a terra cotta colored power and tapped it. The junior smiled “See, he thinks you’re ugly, well so do I but that’s beyond my point” she flipped her icy hair again and turned, continuing to her cold, shadowy area where she then did not eat.
    “Freak”
    “Hey, I’ve heard of that chick, she’s uhhh” said another blond, running her fingers through her hair and thinking “Bella…she got in some weird accident last year because of Doku but the nurse won’t say anything more about it” just then another Junior passed by, the kept his silver hair guarding his face and walked with a limp
    “HEY!” Called the first freshman “Do you know that Bella chick?” she asked
    “Cybelle you mean? Yes, why?”
    “Ugh, she’s so mean you should stay away from her, you deserve better”
    “You see me and think I deserve better than you must deserve dirt,” he snapped back
    “Huh?”
    “She’s my sister”
    “So?”
    “She died last year, Doku Ketsueki pushed her off of the tower” he looked up and flipped his hair back, revealing his scared face, it looked burned from fire or something, not too old. He pointed to the northern tower ignoring their gasps
    “What happened to your face man?”
    “You blonds have no clue how offensive that is, it got burned” he pointed to the singed, grey dorm number 13 and frowned “Afeira died in there, she was great, everything dies, I burned in there too”
    “But if you burnt to death then why are you alive?”
    “I never said I was alive” the girls looked at each other and ruffled their brows, the looked at where Bella was but found nothing, they looked up to where the young silver head was but found even less then they looked up to dorm number 13 and found Doku Ketsueki standing there, senior ear, few months to college, standing in the singed whole where a manikin once stood and stepped towards the edge, tears streaming down his face. He let out a tortured scream and fell to his knee’s halfway off the ledge and looked around campus and interested boys and terrified girls
    “Listen all. It kills you here, the Majyk, it kills you. Call me crazy but it kills you. No matter how loud you scream this nightmare will always choke you!” he bellowed, he stood up and turned around, back to the crowd arms out like he was on a cross about to fall.
    The first freshman hid her face on a junior who did the same and screams filled the air, Doku fell story after story, flight after flight and down, down, down. There in the open hole stood a girl in a crimson nightgown, a white name written on her gown and long red hair down to her hips, braided. Her hands where held out as if she had pushed Doku as he kept falling. Everything unraveling
    “You all listen and you listen good, too many good people did too many good things to die here but they did anyways so there is nothing you can do to stay alive, now live your shortened lives to the fullest because I can assure you none of you will make it out. No one graduates from this academy got it?” the crowd nodded, jaws dropped “Good” she looked around “You smell that, that sent, what is it?” she asked. A girl approached the broken body on the ground breathing but only just
    “Cinnamon?”
    “Spices?”
    “Pie?”
    “Smells sweet”
    “Wrong, wrong, wrong! YOU’RE ALL WRONG!” the girl screamed from the elevated dorm, slamming her foot down and beginning to cry “So tell me Doku, how’d you do it? How did you know it would all add up?” she pat at the withering body to cement being held by a brave sophomore alone on the stage
    “I didn’t” he wheezed “I knew you’d help, you where my accomplice”
    “I would never help you!” she cried over the gasping crowd
    “Oh but you did” the girl threw a lump of wood onto his body as he grunted in pain
    “Nobody knows it but me” the girl burst into hysterical tears
    “I know love, I know, it’s” he took a deep breath, a last breath and with all his little remaining strength, he muttered “The nutmeg” he let out a long breath and closed his eyes, everyone’s attention on the empty vial in his hand and gasped, screamed, stood silent in shock. The looked back to see what the girl would say but she was gone and all that as left where three small totems, a dragon, the Gemini men, and a flame. And then one other appeared, a black syringe, cold and hard
    “What is it?” someone asked, but no one answered.

    Doku Ketsueki

    All of these students died within the first months of the 3172 school year at Greystone Majykal Academy. All because of one thing. All because of one simple, small, dot of poison that everyone confuses to be good. Ever so good. Nutmeg.
