Hexagon
Chapter 1: Hexagon Academy
Hey! So I've been seeing a lot of this kind of fic out there, so I decided to give it a shot, with my own spin of course. To be clear, this story is set in the near future (as opposed to the distant future, which was the original setting of this story)
A WARNING: I felt like something different from the fluffy warriors high stories out there. Be prepared for, blood, gore, violence, foul language, and shameless cliches. All flames and hateful comments should I get any will be fed to my digital venus fly trap.
Anyway, please enjoy! And don't forget to review!

Cinderheart's POV:
I stepped forward, glancing behind me. I wasn't ready for this. My mother was struggling to keep her face blank and expressionless, but the silent tears pricking in the corners of her sapphire blue eyes gave her away. I turned away, and faced the azure beam of light that extended to somewhere above the clouds.
Suddenly, a warm arm snaked around me, and held me close. It was my mother. The barriers had finally broken, her tears flowing freely down her cheeks. She pressed a white, imposing looking envelope into my hands.
"Don't lose it.", she said urgently. She gave me a light kiss on the cheek. "Stay safe."
Taking a deep breath, I stepped uncertainly toward the beam of light. Okay, Cinderheart. Pull yourself together. I stepped into the light and immediately felt as if I had been doused in a bucketful of icy water. For several long seconds, nothing happened. Terror overtook my mind. What if something was wrong with me?
Violetpaw had begun to cry again, and my mother began to comfort her when the world around me began to spin. I caught a glimpse of the surly security guards shoving my family toward the exit. The spinning began to speed up, the world morphed together like an azure blur.
The streaks of blue light burned in my eyes, and slowly, very slowly, I felt my feet lifting off the ground. It was a peculiar feeling. I felt like I was experiencing weightlessness, a perfect silence, an everlasting calm. I felt no stress, no fear. The uncomfortable cold that had been prickling at my skin had long since faded away. Even the spinning, as well as the burning in my eyes that had been caused by the bright light, didn't bother me anymore.
What felt like hours later, the spinning began to slowly slacken, and once it had stopped, I found myself stumbling onto a shaggy white rug. I was in a circular room without windows, the wall space instead occupied by many colorful works of art. The floor, on the other hand was made completely out of reinforced glass.
I looked down, and felt my breath hitch in my throat with sheer amazement. Through many wisps of clouds, I could see the world sprawled out below me like some massive technicolor map.
"Spectacular, isn't it?" I jumped, before turning around. A beautiful woman was rising from her desk behind me. Out of my excitement, I hadn't noticed her at all. She had lovely silvery-blue hair that framed her face in tight curls. Her eyes were a pretty shade of forget-me-not blue. She was dressed in a dark blue business suit with a white blouse, white dress pants, and dark blue stilettos.
"Good morning." , she greeted me with a warm smile. I noticed that she had a slight British accent. "My name is Mistystar, and I'm the head of the River sector. Could I please see that envelope?"
I swiftly handed her the envelope. Mistystar sat primly at her desk, at slit open the envelope, before retrieving from it, a small, pale blue USB flash drive. That's it? I thought.
Mistystar didn't seem to think that there was anything missing. She plugged it in, and scrolled through the contents. As soon as she had finished reading, about 3 minutes later, she tucked the phone under her ear. "Hello? Good morning to you too. We have a new Thunder student, would you please come down to my office to pick her up? Mhm? Yes. That's right. Thank you."
Mistystar flashed me another brilliant smile. "Firestar will be down in a minute, hon.", she informed me. "He's going to show you around and help you a bit."
I didn't have to wait long, because several minutes later, a man, around 40, with a neat red beard and combed red hair entered the room. He was wearing a dark red blazer with a black tie, along with black dress pants.
"Good morning.", he said to me with a smile, and shook my hand. "I'm Firestar, the head of Thunder. It's a pleasure to meet you." "I'm Cinderheart.", I introduced myself. Mistystar handed him the flash drive, and gave me two pieces of paper. "That's a map and your schedule. The map should help you find your classes. I'll see you around!" She waved goodbye as we left her office and sat back down at her desk.
Firestar guided me along a hallway, the walls of which were lined with doors. "This is the Central Sector.", he explained. "Here we have the main office, as well as the auditorium, the fitness center, and the hospital." He led me around a curve, and through an automatic door.
I was shocked by what I saw next. I was standing in a hall, but this was no ordinary hall. It was suspended it the air. I glanced out of the massive, floor length windows, and saw that the shape of the school fit its name.
Floating in the air, completely unsupported were seven, massive circular segments, six of which formed a gigantic hexagon in the air, with the Central Sector floating in the middle of it all. The sectors were connected by glass hallways just like the one I was standing in. Firestar joined me by the windows.
"That is the Thunder Sector." He pointed ahead, on the other end of the hall. "It's where we're heading now. Next to the Thunder Sector is the Wind Sector, then the River Sector- and the Shadow Sector is across from the Thunder Sector. Over there are the Star and Dark sectors."
He turned to look me square in the face. "The Dark Sector is off-limits. You'd do well to stay far away from it. Come along." I followed Firestar reluctantly. There were still a lot of questions I wanted answered.
"I'll show you to your dorm.", he explained. "Your roommate will probably be at breakfast when we arrive. Take that time to unpack and get comfortable. Your luggage has already been sent up to your room."
He guided me around a corner and stopped in front of the door. This door, like every other one, had a glowing blue screen next to it. Firestar plugged the flash drive into a slit above it, and within seconds, my data began showing up on the screen.
After several minutes of furious typing, Firestar turned back to me. He instructed me to press my hand against the screen. It only took the computer a few seconds to analyze the details on my hand, and the doors automatically slid open.
As I looked at my new home, my jaw dropped in awe. Two modern style beds had been pressed against the window, following the curve of the wall, the sheets an electric blue. The carpet and curtains matched the beds. There was a pair of walk in closets and two desks on either side of the door.
"Do you want me to show you the other sectors as well or do you want to explore them on your own?", Firestar asked me. "I'll be fine on my own, thank you for asking though." Firestar smiled at me, gave me a pat on the back, and left. I sat down on my bed. Might as well unpack.

Blossomfall's POV:
I entered the dining hall for breakfast and almost immediately spotted my friends. Poppyfrost, Honeyfern, Hollyleaf, Dovewing, and Hazeltail were all sitting together at a table. I sat down in the empty seat, and, as she often was, pretty, popular, and slightly air-headed Dovewing was right in the middle of a story. "...and I swear, she walked right past me like she didn't even know me! And when I was like, 'What's up, Ivypool? I haven't seen you in a while!' she completely ignored me! My own sister!"
I groaned. I knew what this was about. Dovewing was talking about her twin sister, Ivypool, aka social outcast and school disgrace. Ivypool had been working with the Dark Forest, the 'secret' organization that was centered in the Dark Sector. It wasn't so secret really. All the students were terrified of those who were under the Dark Forest's protection. It was the teachers who really had no idea it existed.
Ivypool refused to talk about why the Dark Forest had kicked her out, so everyone just assumed that she had committed some massive betrayal toward Brokenstar, the leader of the Dark Forest. I found it funny, how the Hexagon heads, Bluestar, Firestar, Mistystar, Blackstar, and Onestar all thought they were the ones in charge, when it was really Brokenstar who held all the strings.
Brokenstar had once been one of the heads, but at some point, he had fallen from grace for plotting to murder the heads. He had been shut in the Dark Sector with all of his other juvenile helpers, where they had come together and formed the Dark Forest.
I had always wondered, what Bluestar, the person who was in charge of the heads and the director of Hexagon Academy had been thinking, shutting a bunch of evil people in a sector together. I mean, there was bound to be trouble.
The other heads hadn't actually agreed when Bluestar had made her decision, but Bluestar hadn't wanted to hear it. Hexagon Academy had a reputation to uphold, it had never expelled anyone, and by the way things were going, I doubted there was going to be an actual expulsion anywhere in the near future. Anyone who got worse than a detention could count on being stuck in the Dark Sector for the rest of their school days.
By now, my friends had moved on from Dovewing's story about Ivypool, and were talking about something else. I leaned forward in interest. If there was any juicy gossip that my friends knew about, there was no way I wanted to miss it.
"I don't know if I mentioned this, but I'm getting a roommate.", Hollyleaf said. "For reals?", Poppyfrost asked excitedly. "Um, no, you did not mention it! Spill!" I couldn't help but chuckle at Poppyfrost's excited response. She had always been a bit spastic.
The other girls were definitely paying attention now. A new student at Hexagon Academy was pretty rare. "So Firestar came to me a couple of days ago, and said that a new girl got accepted, and since I'm in a double room without a roommate, that she will be moving into my room."
"A new girl, huh?", Berrynose, who was walking by, said, smirking. "I hope she's hot." Hazeltail whipped a punch into his shoulder. "Ow! What the hell, sis!? I'm just saying!" Hazeltail sat back down with her arms crossed. "Pervert.", she said. The rest of the table dissolved in laughter.
Still smiling, Hollyleaf stood up and grabbed her bag. "Excuse me for a moment, girls.", she said. "I'm going to go back to my room for a moment. I need to go to the library, and I forgot my ID card." Still laughing slightly, she left.

Hollyleaf's POV:
I headed out the door, and almost ran into my brother, Lionblaze. He's handsome, like really handsome. I guess it must be a requirement to be the King Jock. He has blond hair that fades into red at the tips, and golden eyes. He and his girlfriend were pressed into a corner, deeply occupied by an intense makeout session. Her arms wrapped around his neck, his fingers in her hair. I curled my lip in disgust.
I have a deep dislike, maybe even hate for those people who were born with the perfect hourglass figure, were automatically bounced into a super popular position for no apparent reason at all, and always scored the hottest boys. Heathertail, as Queen Bee of Hexagon Academy, and my brother's slutty girlfriend, delivered in all these categories.
Lionblaze didn't seem to notice my scorn at all. He just gave me a small smile of acknowledgement, and continued kissing Heathertail. I stomped off, my good mood completely ruined. I wished my brother would dump her hoe ass and find someone better for him. She didn't deserve him.
Still on the verge of boiling over with anger, I reached my room. I pressed my palm against the lockscreen, and the doors automatically opened. I threw my bag onto my desk with its neatly labelled drawers and pens and pencils in individual jars.
Only there was already someone in the room, sprawled out on the vacant bed, looking exhausted. The girl looked 15, maybe 16, with her glossy silver hair cascading over the crisp sheets. She wore a sleeveless Kelly green blouse with a trendy v-neck, as well as white skinny jeans and green flip-flops. In her ears were silver stud earrings, and around her neck was a teardrop shaped necklace out of green sea glass. A charm bracelet jangled on her left wrist, and a green and white Nike duffel bag rested at the foot of the bed.
I coughed politely, trying to make my presence known, and the girl instantly sat up. I immediately knew who she was. Firestar told me I might be getting a roommate.
I'd never really wanted a roommate. I liked my privacy, knowing where everything was. I liked having the whole room to myself, and not having to clean up after others. I had to share a room with my brother once, and he's a world-class slob. His side of the room had constantly looked like it had been bombed. Because I hated the mess so much, it was always me who had to clean up.
I stuck out my hand. "Hey, my name's Hollyleaf."
