Jubilee Hall
By: TTFAN
Disclaimer: I don't own any of them.
Sixteen year old Kory Anders walked through the foundation's area. She had a light reddish hair and 'sparkling' (as her friends would call them) emerald eyes. Those eyes now were filled with distress and fear.
'I…I did not commit the crime you speak of.'
'This evidence proves otherwise. You're sentenced to two years in juvenile hall.'
And with that the judge banged his gavel as the guards slapped the handcuffs on her and took her away. Kory's legs were sore from walking so far. She soon saw a large building in the distance.
'I do not belong here. I-I am not a criminal. Why would this happen?' she thought to herself as she felt a gun shove into her spine causing her to fall to her knees.
"Get up." A blank voice said as she reluctantly forced her leg muscles to work properly. They reached the building and walked in. As soon as she stepped in the humid air seemed to dissipate as a cold eerie feeling surrounded her. She felt a chill up her spine as they walked further into the empty corridors of this new found place.
"Change into this and don't even think of escaping. There will be consequences." The guard said tossing her an orange jumpsuit. She walking into a bathroom stall and nearly vomited from the smell. She quickly changed and walked out of the stall. The guard handed her a package consisting of extra clothing, pencils, a notebook, a toothbrush and other necessities. The guard escorted her to her room, ramming his gun into her back every few minutes, as if he was enjoying this. They stopped at a metallic door, the rusted number read 410. The guard opened a metal door, unlocked her handcuffs, and gave her a spare key.
"Why are you providing me with this object to release me from this chamber?" Kory asked. She was born in a foreign country and was taught tospeak proper English.
"Heh heh. You're not escaping. You can breech through all five sectors. This is your room. It's like a boarding school. You still have to get an education and you get to share a dorm…unlike a regular school there will be more…dire consequences if you do break a rule. You will be disciplined, the CORRECT way." The guard said before exiting.
"He's an asshole." A voice said making Kory nearly jump out of her skin. She didn't want anything to do with these…people. Her mother and father spoke frequently about these 'delinquents', how they did horrible unspeakable things. She examined the room there were two bunk beds, two elongated tables and four chairs. The voice came from a higher bunk, curious Kory stepped toward the beds, only to realize there was another person at the parallel side of the bunk where the voice came from.
"I- Greetings new roommates, my name is Kory Anders." Kory said mentally kicking herself for not sticking to the plan about not associating with these people. A person took the mini ladder on the side and extended a hand.
"Raven…Raven Roth." The girl said. Kory recognized the voice as the same one who cursed at the guard. Raven had lavender hair, violet eyes, pale skin, was about an inch shorter than Kory, not to mention she held a face devoid of emotion.
"Umm…who is…" Kory asked looking at the person huddled in a corner, covers over her head, still on the top bunk, who failed to introduce herself as well, she was now mumbling incoherent words.
"The kid talking to herself is Terra Markov. She has schizophrenia, meaning she… hallucinates, sees things others don't. You won't be seeing much of her other than later than six." Raven said in a monotone.
"Why is that?" Kory asked.
"She also has dissociative disorder, split personality." Raven said as Kory felt a wave of sadness wash over her. She walked over to Terra's bunk.
"Friend, it is alright. You need not to have the feeling of fear." Kory said, just as her hand connected with Terra's shoulder, the girl spun around. Terra had light blond hair, her cerulean eyes held a look of fear, before she turned around and tried digging herself deeper into her corner.
"Why is she here, should she not be in a medical institution, such as a hospital?" Kory asked, not wanting to say asylum.
"Why are you here? You look like you belong to some high class cheerleading clan." Raven said cocking an eyebrow.
"I was accused of an automobile theft I had not committed-"
"If I had a dollar for every time I've heard that, I'd be some spoiled rich kid." Raven said cutting her off.
"How are you in this facility?" Kory asked.
"I tried robbing a-"
"Stealing is a very mean thing to do. You should not commit such crimes." Kory yelled. This seemed to have no effect on Raven, scaring Kory just a bit.
"I have to live off the streets everyday. I hadn't eaten in about three days and my shit ass father was drinking his life away, while they were going to take my mother off life support. I needed the money. You think you've got it bad since you went off hijacking a car and got caught? You know nothing of others. Who are you to accuse someone?" Raven shot back glaring.
"I am…mostly apologetic. May I ask what happened to Terra…if she is comfortable about talking?" Kory said feeling an anvil of guilt drop on her.
"Terra was…a good friend of mine. We've had our ups and downs. Though I'd never forgive her for being a backstabbing bitch…she's still there when I need help. She tried busting me out of the joint once…but that's not why she's here.
There was this…person who was stalking her for a while. Once he got her alone…he almost... he nearly raped her. Though Terra never really was the smart kind…she always carried an extra weapon. She had a gun with her and shot him in the head, out of fear. Some people nearby heard it and saw her with a gun and a dead man next to her. There's no proof that the guy tried doing anything to her, but I'm the only one she talks to besides the warden. I never thought she'd have a breaking point." Raven said as Terra clutched the covers around her tighter.
"What is it that you do in this…place?" Kory asked.
"You really shouldn't ask too many questions. It's all in your info pack. By the way you might want to stay away from most of the guys…and girls, besides your roommates." Raven replied.
"There are males in this vicinity?" Kory asked. That meant…
"Yeah…cheap jerks. Never follow them anywhere alone. They're all perverts, especially Dick." Raven said going back to her spot before Kory entered. She resumed reading her book.
"That is an interesting piece of literature." Kory stated getting a glimpse of the cover of the book.
"They provide us with a library. Too bad most of the books are ripped up, have spit in them, or pieces of food, imbeciles. Your bed's on the bottom of my bunk. Remember… not everyone's going to let you get away with everything. Mainly this place, you'd be lucky if you're not sent to the medical ward today. Just stand clear of anyone when you're out of this room." Raven said glancing at the wall clock reading 11:50 A.M.
'Ten more minutes until lunch. That's when the pain will really begin, when people meet up, start fights and end up dying. She's too naïve, she might be one of the first.' Raven thought as she stared at her book, not reading the letters on the pages. She was forming some way to escape.
A.N. I've seen so many Titans are normal teens and go to school fics so I decided to twist it a bit. Review please.
