Prologue: 7 Wolves.
In the dark classroom, seven students had lingered together. While class had been long over for each of them, this is where they had generally met after school. All the other students had left, while they were the only ones that had remained. Even the teacher who generally taught in this room was nowhere to be seen. The six of the students all came here because of one person: The girl who had been the sole person sitting in a desk and weeping.
Grief had long overcome her through the years she had spent in this school with the others. While she had the other six students, the rest of the school wasn't really fond of this girl. She was subjected to bullying by all kinds of students around the school. Why exactly was that though?
"I'm sick of it," The girl had let out while she wept more and more. "Why, must our lives be like this? What did all of us do to deserve this?" She had let out. It was clear she was at her breaking point with the suffering that she had handled.
It wasn't just her either. It was all seven of them that had faced suffering in this school. All of them were hated, bullied, mistreated, and avoided among the school. It wasn't just students; it had even been teachers that had subjected them to this. No place was really safe for the seven of them to be in peace together but now.
"Perhaps that's just how us humans work," One of them suggested with a small sigh, "As humans, we seem to make people suffer for several different reasons. Some just do it to fit in at times, while others seem to do it because they enjoy the suffering of people they choose. Sometimes people do it out of jealousy of what ones have or just out of simple rage."
"But we aren't like that!" a different person in the room had protested and it was honestly over all true. None of the seven desired suffering for anyone in the world, yet they had been made to suffer by everyone else in this world. Why was it just them?
"Maybe we're expected to be like that," Another one of them suggested, though none of them had liked the thought of course. They knew what it was like, so why be the same after all?
"Just maybe…" A different one of them let out in a sad tone.
"But does that mean that we have to be like them?" One of them had finally asked among the group since no one else really had the heart to ask it.
"That would make us no better than them though," Another one of them had answered in a bitter voice.
All of them hated everyone for what they had done to them and the suffering they had to go through. It made no sense to them as to why it had to be them. Maybe the world had just hated them and that was it.
The weeping girl eventually silenced. Tear no longer continued brushed down the girl's cheeks, but then, something else could be heard coming from her shortly after. The girl started giggling like she was mad. This was caused by a devious plot that she had. She thought of a way to repay the world for all that it had given all of them.
"Let's just give it back," The girl had told the group as if the solution was simple. None of them had seemed to get what she had meant though.
"Give it back?" One of them questioned her curiously.
"Yes, give it back. Give back all the pain, the hate, the anger, the jealousy, the abuse, the violence, and everything else. Since the world is so fond of giving us sadness, why don't we return the sadness to them? It's only fair right? They've made us suffer right?" The girl had told the group.
"Even if we were to go with that, how exactly would we do it? We can't just go around the school and do what they did to us. It would make us just like them wouldn't it?" One of the group questioned.
"I have an idea..But I'm not sure if all of you will agree with it. I wouldn't make any of you join in with the idea, but I think it's the only way that we can truly make this world pay for what it has done to us, and also to get the people that treat us like trash back," The girl had told the group.
"I think I speak for almost all of us when I say that we'll stick with you through anything. We've been all be together for the longest time haven't we? We've suffered together too. So I'm sure we'll all join in anything that can make all of our lives better," One of them had told her
The rest agreed with this. The group had been together almost since childhood, and they all stuck together. It was all thanks to this girl that they were together now and they intended to stay that way for the longest time that they could.
"So what's your plan?" One of them questioned curiously. They all wondered what the girl could possibly have in store for all of them.
"Well…Have you ever heard of the game Rabbit Doubt?"
End of Prologue
Blank Notes(See what I did there?): Hey everyone! I hope you enjoyed the short Prologue to the story Eternal Doubt. Now if you read Doubt (If you haven't you should), you might notice this story doesn't have any of the characters from the original story(Well so far at least). As the Prologue Title suggests, there are 7 wolves and they are all new. This story will be organized in 7 arcs(More or Less) each featuring a new game of Rabbit Doubt. Now what does this mean for you, the reader? Well, I'll explain when we get there.
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed the very short Prologue. I promise chapters will be much longer than this in the future. Tell me what you think of it still and I hope you enjoy the rest of the story of Eternal Doubt.
