Chapter 01: The Mystery P1.
Scarlett yawned. She was situated in a class room, her expression full of boredom. She looked down at her blank paper, her eyes managing to roll themselves for another time. "The answer is carbon. Elementary, rather." Scarlett told the class while pushing up her glasses, who looked rather befuddled. Scarlett stood up, "Can I please be excused? My attire is rather dirty." Scarlett looked down at her top which was a tinge of green with dirt everywhere. "Plus, its not like these numbskulls have anything to enlighten me with." Scarlett did not wait for a reply and walked out, jeers and cat calling galore.
"Remember, I have valour and they are bereft of smarts, they are petulant loquacious airhea-." Scarlett looked down a smile bracing her face, while she was beaming she clasped her phone tightly and furtively got it out of her pocket, answering it instantaneously. "Finally," She uttered an expletive under her breath, "Huh?" She feigned surprise. "I got in and WASN'T selected as the target?"
"Yes. Yes. Report to the Caooga Academy. We'll send you directions and have taken care of you being transferred to an 'all elite school'. Do not reply to this automated message. Joking, seriously. You also have to read the rules. Goodbye."
Scarlett smirked, letting a laugh creep out. "Get ready," Scarlett's expression changed, a look of disgust could be seen. "Target. I won't NEED to learn your name. You'll be discarded as the buffoons fail." She spat harshly on the ground, before walking off her confidence loitering in the air.
"SCARLETT! BACK TO CLASS!"
"One day, Mr Jair. ONE DAY."
Jacques groaned. "OH YAH?!" His accent was strongly showcased as he glared at a girl dressed in pink. "Well, I have had enough of you, Josee! Infact, I have other offers!" Josee laughed at this, "I DO!" Storming off of the ice rink with a delayed set of pouting occurring, someone suddenly ran towards him. "Ah! EE!" Jacques cried in terror, "Josee, help!" His attempts at getting help were silenced.
Someone, masked and disguised rather well with a black cape and a black mask, resembling a highway man, whispered into his ear. "Ah!" Jacques jumped at the sudden contact and thus wetness found quickly in his ear.
"Muhawawa! Tongue-skin contact! Whoo!"
"MISS! MISS!" Sadie yelled, running into her classroom, with no one but the teacher there. "Wait, did you just say assassination and killing and OH MY GOD IS IT A PLAY?!" Sadie clapped her hands and squealed, "Yay! A new play, but like, why are you all suspicious-" Her face paled and she ran out instantly, screaming. The teacher blinked.
"What? What's your answer?" Came the voice on the phone.
"Thanks for selecting this school as the target representative." The teacher was being false, "I choose..." The teacher was hesitant, "Sadie. She has great test scores and stuff, and she's smart, and not evil smart so...yeah. Those are my reasons. So, now...how do I explain my sudden leave now that my purpose has been-" The line went dead. "Screw him."
The brunette moved her hair, so it was slightly above her emerald eyes, but it went down instantly. "Ugh." She sighed, before rummaging threw a draw, and throwing a stack of papers on the floor. "Where is it? Where is it? AHA!" The teacher was on the floor, swiping up a paper. "A 61! No way! She needs at least a..." The teacher's eyes couldn't be seen, but she grinned. "Yes! That's perfect..."
"Wait, what?" Sadie was currently walking out of school. "Huh? I am being transferred to an ELITE school? Like why. Oh, you want me to meet you there! EEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Sadie squealed. "Can I have some directions?" A car suddenly stopped in front of her, "Uh. There's some creep here. One sec." Sadie looked scared, "Get away!" She tried to run off, but stopped. "OH, she's my ride? Cool!"
Sadie hopped in the car, "Greetings. Please be cautious and live your life to the fullest. My glowing aura happens to be Dawn, settle down." The girl gave a warm smile, "I see that helped you ease your nerves." Dawn moved her light blonde hair out of her face (it was only slightly covering it) so Sadie could see her innocent teal eyes. "And yes my green top is made out of dying vines, which is why its fine material cannot be seen anywhere else. Now, buckle up." Dawn began to drive.
Sadie looked bewildered, "How did she know?" She muttered, as she put on seatbelt. "Mmm, oh yeah, Melissa, I am SO fine! Like eee! New school! Oooh, maybe we'll be at the same school for once?" Dawn took a sharp turn, and Sadie jolted to the side, sending her phone out of the window. Dawn gasped, as did Sadie. "Like, oh my gosh! My contacts! My phone!"
"Oh no..." Dawn sighed, stopping in the exact spot, "Get out and get it before the honking ensues." Beeping was already heard, "Please," Dawn cried, poking her head out of the window. "Mother nature needs me to be in this current time!" Sadie hopped in, slamming the door behind her. Dawn suddenly sped up her driving, as her eyes were worryingly glances in the rear mirror.
"What?" Sadie asked, noting this. "Dawn, like what's out the rear window." Sadie glanced out of it and screamed, she saw someone with a knife, and she shuddered, as Dawn shut all the windows, and sped up, muttering under her breath.
"Forgive me! Sadie, that person's aura is dangerous. The school is uhm prestige, and sadly some people do not allow themselves to try again." Dawn suddenly took her hands off the wheel and began to meditate. Sadie screamed at her as the car went off road when Dawn was turning it with her eyes shut. "Sadie, relax...shut your eyes." Dawn said softly.
Sadie was breathing heavily. "I feel sick! Let me out! Let me OUT!" She pleaded, beginning to cry and unintentionally shutting her eyes. Suddenly, Sadie noted that Dawn took her seat belt off. "Huh, Dawn?" Sadie cried, reopening her eyes. She then stared at her surroundings, "We're...perfectly parked..." Dawn turned and gave a grin. "Wow...it looks uh, big..."
"WHAT?!" A female also driving a car (down the same) route yelled, "No one is STOPPING me achieving gold! Gold!" The girl drove harshly and crashed into trees, and soon stopped, purposefully crashing into the car Dawn and Sadie were in as soon as she also reached the school. "My fans NEED to remember me! They thrive on me!" The female suddenly let out a forced smile, and ran, sniffing. "They. Were. Here. Josee WILL achieve gold!" Josee ran ahead, racing inside of the long foyers with many twists and turns. "This way! C'mon-" Josee looked behind her expectantly, "Oh yes...that bumbling nitwit isn't here." Josee cheered, "Whoo!" Josee ran down the foyer.
"Uhm. Who's that?" Sadie asked, seeing Josee come towards them. "She doesn't look like a teacher." Josee's razor sharp teeth and evil gleam instantly alerted Dawn, who attempted to pull Sadie away. Josee however had already reached them. "Uhm...hi."
Josee smirked, putting her hand out. Her big grin made Dawn shake her head. "It's SUCH an honour to meet you! Your the new student joining the new class? So am I!" Dawn and Sadie glanced at each-other, Josee frowned for a split second but as soon as Sadie's attention reverted back to her, it changed quickly. "So, what do you like? And have you seen our teacher. I got lost, can I come around with you guys?" Josee giggled under her breath, luckily Sadie didn't hear this. Sadie turned to Dawn, prompting Josee to attempt to strangle Sadie, but seize the attempt when Sadie turned back around.
"Uhm. Like, sorry but me and Dawn are looking for my parents." Sadie revealed, Josee nodded understandingly, concealing her fake motives. "Dawn...can I have a little talk with you?"
Dawn looked unsure. "If I am not back soon, go find your parents. And do NOT look back." Dawn commanded Sadie, with a firm tone unusual for Dawn. Josee motioned for Dawn to come around the corner, and she did, so they were out of Sadie's viewing, "The game has NOT started yet. Any assassination attempts will NOT get you the wish. We haven't even gotten our advance notes."
Suddenly a ring tone was heard. Josee dug her phone out of her pocket, "Dawn has arrived but the dawn has not." Josee recited. "Fine, Jose! I get IT!" Dawn gasped at the mere mention. "What? Wait, Jose? Are you working with US all. So, you know EACH of our weaknesses?" Josee growled. "Wait, your just working with me and...JACQUES?!" Josee let out a series of expletives.
"Where's Sadie?!" Josee growled, turning around before Dawn received a text.
"Oh her parents say that she has gone home."
"Oh my gosh! Yeah, it's my first real day. Yesterday, we visited it. I met some...like creepy peeps!" Sadie was on the phone. "MMm and they ALLOW phones! Wowza!" Sadie lied, giggling. "Yeah. Shh! SHH! Kay. We're here, so like EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" A chorus of the squealing followed from the other side of the phone. Sadie's parents stopped and parked.
"Have a good day, honey!"
"Yeah. Do us proud!"
Sadie nodded at their encouragement as she got out. Josee was seemingly awaiting someone as she looked around, "Stupid stupid!" Josee growled, "Aha! Sadie..." Josee noticed her. Sadie gave a sheepish smile. "I was waiting for Jacques but he seems to be absent..." Josee laughed quietly, "So let's walk in together!" She suggested, "Did you see your class yesterday?"
Sadie shook her head. "It's Class Red. I wish they could colour code the doors, wouldn't that be like, awesome?" Josee shook her head, readying some spit, Sadie turned to her. Josee looked confused, "Um...let's just go in." Sadie noted something off.
"Does anyone know where Class Red is?" Asked a small child, donning a black jacket and a red cap, covering his blonde hair. "I am kind of lost..." Sadie gasped, and turned, taking pity.
"We know, kid!" The boys face dropped, "Come with us!"
"He has a leg up! He is a LITTLE kid..." Josee dialled her phone. "I'll be in soon." She assured them as the two walked inside, "WHAT do you mean there's a KID entered in this?! How unfair is that?! Jose, look, JUST because our names are similar doesn't mean I am gonna let HIM OR YOU take the gold away from me! Can you image me getting bronze?" Josee shuddered, "Just...unacceptable..."
"Josee?!" Came Jacques' shocked voice, he was clearly battered. "H-hi! We can work together." Josee nodded, "Weirdly, my clothes attracted squirrels, and then I had to run here because traffic was diverted. But..." He began to pant. "I made it."
Josee clearly had a face of boredom.
"Josee! Jacques, isn't it?" A male with jet black hair stared at them, "Detention for being late." Josee and Jacques groaned as they took their seats, "Hi, I am Devin. Anyway, who shall be the dorm rep?" No one stood up, Lindsay was pushed onto the floor and stood up, quickly trying to get back into her seat. "I guess Lindsay, its you."
"Aw," The blonde snapped her fingers, "Who am I rooming with?"
"Me?" Dave was hopeful.
"No one. She gets her own room for being the rep." All the boys groaned, while the girls looked extremely angry. "Joking. She rooms with Sadie, but we need to get started with the lesson-" A knock was heard. "Hmm?" Devin walked out, shutting the door behind him after the teacher beckoned for him to do so. Silence took over the room.
Suddenly, everyone got their phones out, instantly texting. Numerous beeps were heard. "It's tonight." Scarlett thought aloud, everyone cheered, Sadie looked confused. "We'll be going to a noodle restaurant." Sadie also cheered at what Scarlett revealed, Devin suddenly walked in and everyone hastily put their phones away, much to Devin's suspicion.
"Uhm. Well, guys. It looks you get a week to learn your surroundings because, we need to sort out your lesson plans." Cheering ensued instantly as everyone ran out, racing to their dorms. "Hey! No running in halls!"
"I am gonna go visit everyone's rooms, okay Lindsay?" Sadie said, "I'll come here last and we can get too know each-other as well." Sadie looked around, "Lindsay? Lindsay?" Sadie looked around confused.
"I am having a shower!" Lindsay's bubbly voice was heard.
"Oh, okay!" Sadie walked out, "Better lock the door." Sadie grabbed the spare key under the mat, and locked it and placed the key in her pants, before whistling and knocking on the next room.
"I don't have time to-" A girl with black hair going down to black trousers stopped upon seeing Sadie, "Oh sorry! Hi!" Emma awkwardly waved, "Heh, so uhm...wait here." Emma advised, "Actually no, come in!" Emma pulled Sadie in and shoved her behind the red couch. "Scarlett..." Emma called, "I am pretty sure I heard Josee getting Sadie in her room!"
Scarlett sighed as she walked into the room, "Sit on the couch while I speak with the vermin." Scarlett then walked out. Emma whistled and Sadie struggled to stay quiet as she was crouched on the maroon fluffy floor, when the door slammed Emma grinned.
"Now, wait here!" Emma raced out, looking under the mat she spied the spare key and snatched it from under the mat, raced inside and then locked it. "Okay, now I am Emma. No fun, just studying so I can achieve the grades for law. My little sister usually is the complete opposite, but who needs fun just yet?" Sadie looked bewildered. "Do you disagree?" Emma crossed her arms, staring at Sadie, her eyebrow arched.
"Like pfft, yeah! Everyone needs a little fun in there life." Emma looked sceptical, "Have you even tried to have fun?" Emma nodded, "Really? When?" Sadie queried, Emma was in deep thought.
"I can be fun!" She told Sadie, "I just choose not to. Now, no distractions and made me Jake the ground!" Emma gasped, "Did I just say Jake? Oh Noah!" Emma gasped, "That was the cute boy I SO don't like!" Sadie stated at Emma, smirking. "Oh shush! Just, don't tell anymore! And Jake broke up with me anyway, so don't try and use that against me."
A knock on the door was heard. "I seem to have been crudely locked out." From behind the door, Scarlett struggled to gain some composure but her voice betrayed this notion as it was level and calm. "Please let me in." Scarlett pounded on it, "And I mean now." Scarlett hissed, dropping her innocent facade as her voice dropped with venom. Emma silenced Sadie, shoving her hand over her mouth. "I know you are in there..."
"It's just me!" Sadie's voice was muffled, but Scarlett had heard this. Emma sighed. "Yeah, like Emma went for a walk. Something about studying law without stupidly giant footsteps distracting her thoughts. Like, she is so grouchy." Sadie winked at Emma, who merely rolled her eyes. "Someone was knocking on the door earlier and it wasn't Emma and there was like a load of shuffling!"
"Be careful." Scarlett advised, quietly. "Who dares steal my key?" Scarlett pondered, her footsteps volume decreased signalling she was moving further. Sadie rushed to the door and walked out, Emma followed, going in an opposite direction. Sadie shut the door behind her as Emma rushed off, and accidentally collided with someone.
"Eh, watch where you goin' home sizzle!" Sadie helped the boy up, "I am the Zekester. Everyone knows me..." A sinister gleam was seen in his eye, "I'll catch you later, eh! Hope you see me this time!"
"Finally, we're out of detention!" Josee was heard moaning.
"Sadie..." Lindsay knocked on the door, "You in there? We're going to the restaurant, it's like quite late now!" Sadie was heard shuffling and after a few minutes the door opened.
"You could've come in yourself."
"Oh yeah!" Lindsay remembered.
Everyone sat down at a table in the noodle restaurant, "So what are we ordering?" Sadie asked. "Uhm, guys?" They were glued to their phones, "You know its rude to look at your phone at a dinner table?"
"Oh my gosh!" Lindsay gasped, "I forgot my lipstick! Can you guys come with me? Sadie, stay here, please. We need someone to make sure Emma gets out of the toilet."
Sadie nodded as everyone walked out.
"Nice excuse." Scarlett commended, "Looked like you were really scared."
"That wasn't an excuse!" Lindsay told her.
"I feel kinda bad leaving Sadie alone..." Dave sighed.
"Don't feel bad, Dave." Sky rubbed his shoulder, Dave blinked and smiled. "It's okay."
"Yeah, thanks."
Everyone eventually reached a dark clearing.
"Finally, you guys made it." Emma scoffed, "Even these guys were beginning to get annoyed." Emma pointed to where two people stood, one with ginger hair around a similar age, one who was significantly older with a brightening smile. "Hello everyone. I am Chris." Chris, the male, introduced himself, as he pointed to the giggling female muttering crazily to herself. "That girl is Izzy. We started this and here are your advance notes."
Everyone looked at them, cooing as they were thrown on the floor. Everyone scrambled to get them. "Of course, there are quite clearly some rules." Izzy started, "Like, you should know them already, but there's one that wasn't in the text sent with the directions. Do not kill the target without the advance note being SHOWN to the target. You know that you must have it on you, but that is an extension." Izzy told them. "Got it?"
"Elementary." Scarlett scoffed.
"Does it matter who strikes first?" Junior queried.
"Well, if they get them! Then BOOM! It's over." Josee frowned at Izzy's explanation, "But if they don't then you have a bigger chance, and this is relevant to the whole game."
Unbeknownst to them, Sadie had been following them. She gasped, and instantly ran off, prompting everyone to turn, shock was high even Chris and Izzy looked rather shocked. Izzy shrugged, "It was probably a rat. START!"
Everyone raced away.
"Here's a text!" Junior read his phone, "Sadie is back at home because she thought Emma snuck out."
Sadie was in her room. "I get it now! It WASN'T a school play! This is even scarier than that spider that made me run out of the classroom! I miss my old school!" Sadie pouted. "My classmates wouldn't have attempted to murder me there. My phone!" Sadie beamed. "I can call someone!" Sadie sighed, "Aw, it's broken. Ugh, was this all-"
Sadie paused, perspiration went down her nose as a knock on the door was heard, Sadie shuddered. "Uhm, I am just taking a bath!" She lied, shakily. "I'll be out just now!" Sadie turned, glancing at the door and gasped at what she saw.
An advance note.
AN: And so that was episode 1. For anyone who remembers the original, I do regret deleting it. And this one shall be indeed different as the target shifted from Katie, to Sadie. It will have major differences, half of the cast isn't the same! Why? Because of the RR characters being added, there'll be less riddles in this one than the original anime or the original fic. You do not need to know the anime to know this, if you are curious then watch the first episode, it explains it better than this first chapter.
There'll be more to come! Review!
