Hey guys, it's me again. I've already written another Tower Prep story (I'm still working on it) I've kind of been having a big case of writer's block for that, so I started a new story. I'll probably go back to it again later but I think I'll make this story my main focus.

Anyways, this current story is set right after the season finale and what I think should happen in season two. The ideas for this story have been brewing in my head for awhile, but I finally was able to type them out.

Disclamer: I own nothing, except I guess I own my OC (I think?)

So without further ado, here it is, Enjoy! :D

Ian archer woke up, fully clothed and on top of the covers of a bed. Not the bed he had become used to at Tower, no, this was a different one. He had a feeling of déjà vu. Similar to when he woke up at Tower, he had no idea as the where he was. Except this time, there were no obnoxious roommates to greet him; he woke up to a quiet room.

Although, the silence was broken when a snore, loud and somewhat disgusting sounding, rang throughout the room. There was only one person who could snore like that, Ian realized, and his suspicions were confirmed when he looked over to the only other bed in the room. It was Gabe. Gabe, Ian thought, you have no idea how good it is to hear your snore.

Like Ian, the small boy was fully dressed and on top of the covers. He was still dressed in his West Campus uniform, consisting of a blue button-down shirt, khakis, and belt.

"Gabe. Gabe, wake up," Ian's voice called through the silence.

"No…" was Gabe's reply.

"Gabe, you gotta wake up."

"Huh? Ian, where are we?"

"I'm not sure."

"Is it just me, or does this place look really familiar."

For the first time, Ian looked around the room. It looked identical to their room back at Tower. The gray walls and bedding, the closets, the window. However, there were only two beds in the room, not three. Ian stood up and inspected the closet on his right. Sure enough, the nametag on it read Ian Archer, and when he opened it and looked inside, he saw his clothes; even the Birthday card CJ, Gabe, and Suki had gotten him. Gabe followed suit and looked inside of his closet with Gabriel Lexington Forrest on it. He grumbled internally; he hated his full name. Like Ian's, his closet was stocked with his clothes, and there also was—

"Senor Guapo!" Gabe tightly hugged his beloved sock monkey, he was sure that after leaving him behind in West Campus, he would never see him again. "Oh, Senor Guapo, I will never ever leave you alone again."

Ian smiled softly at his friend's attachment to the sock monkey. It reminded him of his dog, even after it died three years earlier, Ian still missed him.

"Ian," Gabe interrupted his thoughts, "we aren't at Tower, are we?"

"I'm not sure," Ian replied, "it seems so familiar, but I don't think we are."

"Where could we be, then?" Gabe wondered aloud as he strolled over to the window, Senor Guapo held tightly under his arm. He looked out the window and saw a forest, but it wasn't the same view that their window back at Tower had. No, this definitely was not Tower Prep.

"I think we should go look for CJ and Suki," Ian suggested, "maybe they'll have some ideas."

Gabe silently agreed, and the two crossed the room, opened the door, and carefully walked out into the hallway. The sign next to their door said 219, which is exactly what their room number at Tower was.

"If our room number is the same, maybe CJ and Suki's is, too," Gabe said.

"It's worth a try," Ian responded.

CJ and Suki lived in room 364 back at Tower, which meant their room was probably on the third floor. Since Gabe and Ian were on the second floor, they ventured through the halls to where the staircase was back at Tower. The staircase was at the exact same place, which somewhat confirmed Ian's suspicions. Wherever they were, it was identical to Tower Prep, which gave Ian a spine-chilling idea. Maybe this is another part of the program. Whisper said something about a level two, maybe this is it, he thought, and maybe CJ will know.

They navigated through the halls, and soon enough, they arrived at where they believed CJ and Suki's room would be. They knocked on the door, no answer.

"Maybe they aren't awake yet," Gabe realized.

"I'll see if the door is locked."

Ian tried the doorknob, it was unlocked, so Ian quietly opened the door and crept inside. A feeling of relief flooded throughout his entire body. This was CJ and Suki's room, alright. He saw the sleeping forms of the girls, fully clothed and gestured to Gabe to go wake up Suki. While Gabe went over to Suki, he quietly walked over to CJ's sleeping body. He kneeled down and softly shook her. Her eyes snapped open and she sat straight up.

"Ceige, it's me."

"Ian?" He nodded. She reached over and hugged him, he hugged her back.

"Where are we?"

He let her go and looked into her eyes, "I'm not sure; we were hoping you could answer that."

"I'm not sure." She said while looking down. She looked up at him. "I'm not lying, either."

He sighed, "Okay, I believe you."

Suki, now awake, walked over them along with Gabe. "Okay guys, where exactly are we?"

"We don't know," Gabe answered, "but it seems to be identical to Tower, so I'm guessing it's a part of the program. Ceige?"

"I don't know. I didn't even know of a level two until Whisper talked about it. My dad never said anything about it, so either he didn't want me to know, or he didn't even know." Ian cringed when she said my dad. He hated the idea that CJ, so beautiful and kind, could come from someone as sadistic and cruel as Headmaster. He didn't care about what Whisper said about him being good, he was standing in the way of Ian's dreams of escape, so he was an enemy. He was unsure about what to do about CJ. He loved her, and she knew it, but she betrayed them and he was hesitant to believe her. His walls were back up, just like they were when he first came to Tower, and he wasn't sure if he should let them back down. Of course, he trusted Gabe and Suki with his life, so he wasn't hesitant to believe them, but he wasn't sure about CJ.

"Maybe we can ask someone here if they know where we are. There are dorms all around, so we just have to go and knock on someone's door, piece of cake," Suki suggested. She had looked out into the hallway and seen several other mahogany doors lining the hall.

"That's a good idea," CJ said, "let's go."

They left CJ and Suki's room.

"So, which lucky lady gets to answer our questions?" Gabe wondered aloud.

Suki snorted, "We can just try next door."

Ian, feeling bold and slightly agitated, walked over to room 365 and knocked on the door. Sure enough it opened, revealing a tall, athletic-looking girl wearing jeans and a Tower Prep hoodie. "Can I help you?" She asked, sounding slightly annoyed.

"Can we ask you some questions?" Ian asked.

"Sure, why not, curfew's in a couple of hours, come in."

They all entered her dorm room; it looked like the normal dorm, except there was only one bed, one closet, and one desk. At a closer look, Ian saw that the girl was taller than the average girl, maybe 5'9", and definitely worked out. She was wearing a pair of skinny jeans, so he was able to see her muscular calves. She was pretty good-looking, too, and definitely attractive.

"We'll start by asking your name," Ian said.

"My name is Chandler, and I'll start off by asking yours as well," she replied.

"I'm Ian, that's Gabe, Suki, and CJ," he answered while gesturing to each of them.

"Well, now that we're acquainted, ask me your questions."

"Where are we?"

"I think you already know the answer to that, Ian. You're in Tower Prep: Level Two. Only the best make it here, but be careful, this place can be a living hell if you make it," She replied.

"What do you mean, by 'only the best'?" CJ asked.

"Tower Prep is just a test, a simple one at that. It is designed to be escape-able, but only to some people. All of the students here at Level Two either escaped from Tower or were brought straight here because their abilities were far too powerful to be placed at Tower. "

"Speaking of abilities, what is yours?" Suki asked.

"I can see weaknesses. Whether they're physical, mental, or spiritual, I see them all."

"Prove it," Ian challenged.

She smirked and walked up to each of them. To Ian she said, "You don't think before you act, you're impulsive, which has gotten you into trouble, hasn't it? You also have a huge fear of water."

Ian was stunned. He had never told anyone that before, and it was true. It had started when at a Fourth of July party when he was six, his extended family decided to celebrate near a lake. Ian wandered off by himself and fell into the lake. Nobody had heard him, but luckily a fisherman nearby saw him fall in and pulled him out of the water. He was terrified ever since.

Chandler then walked up to Gabe next, "You worry about not being important to the team, you think you slow them down, but really, your good humor cheers them up." Gabe smiled a little, he knew he couldn't fight very well and was a slow runner, but to find out about him cheering everyone up lifted his spirits.

Suki was next, "You second guess yourself too much, like the opposite of Ian, you over think things too much. If you stick with your gut feeling, you'll probably succeed more."

CJ was last; she was dreading this "Ah, so you're a deceiver. You expect your father, Headmaster, is it, to fix your problems. But be warned, your daddy isn't here to save you, rumor has it that the Headmaster of Tower doesn't even know about Level Two. "

"You haven't shown the physical part yet," Ian argued.

"If you insist." Chandler walked over to her desk and lightly touched a spot, near the center.

"Ha, nothing happened—"Ian was interrupted by a soft groaning noise, and Chandler's desk collapsed cleanly down the middle.

"You all seem so proud about the fact that you escaped Tower. It is, for people at Tower, but here, it's not an achievement at all. Many have escaped before you, many will escape after you. Did any of your roommates ever disappear?"

"Howard was supposed to come back from West Campus after six weeks but never did. And there's the Great Unknown," Gabe said to Ian.

"Howard, like Howard Gilmore? Tetra chromatic-vision Howard Gilmore?" Gabe nodded, "He lives down the hall. Apparently he used the tunnels to steal people's stuff, so the Board of Directors sent him here."

"You know about the tunnels? What about the observatory?" Suki wondered.

"Please, everybody knows about those," Chandler snorted, "I never saw them; I escaped about two weeks after I was sent to Tower. How long were you there?"

"I was there my entire life," CJ stated, "Suki was there for five years, Gabe for three, and Ian just short of a year."

Ian didn't know that they were there for so long, he never asked. He figured it never mattered.

"Wow. I know someone who was there for like, a day. How long did you plan escape?"

"About a year," Gabe replied, "our plans kept getting messed up. How did you escape?"

"I found a weakness in the wall."

"That's not possible, the wall isn't real," Ian said.

"Yeah, but only part of the wall isn't real. The part of the wall that borders Level Two is real, whereas the part of the wall that surrounds all of Tower is an illusion. It's about a day's walk from Tower to Level Two."

"So, why haven't you escaped already, why hasn't that kid who was at Tower for a day escape then?" CJ asked.

"I've been here, looking for two years. There is no escape."

Okay, so I hope that wasn't too bad.

If my OC seems mean-ish now, she won't later and I wanted to establish the fact that their escape wasn't that special

So as always, reviews are appreciated, so please tell me you opinions or any ideas you may have.

Thank you!
