The Coates Story

by Cityoffayz

After the Fayz, Diana Ladris decides to write a book about before and during the Fayz. (This Fan-fiction contains spoilers, though I may have added in extra scenes that were not in the original story. I can't write summaries)

1. Introduction

People will always see the Coates kids as the bad guys. To be fair, I see why they would. Caine, Drake, Penny were easy examples of why. But, some Coates kids ended up on the side of the angels, Team Sam. Brianna, Dekka and Taylor, to name a few. So, people don't really see the Coates kids as being the bad guys as such, even though that is what they say. In reality, it is The Evil Trio who is the bad guys in the FAYZ.

I found myself amongst the Trio before I realised what was going on. And when I did realise, I didn't really care. Before the Gaiaphage was discovered, Caine and Drake were the biggest threats out there, and if you happened to be on their side, you were laughing. Well, I didn't get Drake on my side, but with Caine it was easy. For such a ruthless boy, he was easy to manipulate, for me at least.

Since I am the only remainder of The Evil Trio, I pretty much think it is my duty to write down our side of the tale. Astrid has already written a book about life in the FAYZ, rather brilliantly titled The FAYZ. Such a creative thought went into that title, I must say. Albert kind of wrote a book about it, but it was more of an autobiography, named 'The FAYZ's businessman'. No doubt there is probably going to be more, but I thought I might as well write the FAYZ from a different point of view, not the Team Sam side. It would be controversial, definitely.

But all I can really say was, well, you were born into a Team. It wasn't really a choice what Team you went for, it was what you were supposed to go to. I am not saying I didn't have a choice to defect from Team Caine and join Sam's side, I did actually. But if I didn't stick with Caine, well he would have gotten a lot worse, that's all I can say about that.

I guess here is the story of Coates Academy, right from the beginning. Don't judge anyone for what they did, it was the FAYZ, and there wasn't much of a choice about what you had to do to stay alive. Just remember, you weren't trapped in there. You didn't face pure evil and walk away. The starvation, the thirst, the pain, was what made us Fayzians what we are today, I guess. By the way, I promise I will not try to sound like Astrid throughout the entire book, but as she will probably proof read this, I doubt I will be able to stop it.
