Twilight High School

"Man, this winter has been hitting hard on the town, think we'll get snow?"

"Doubt it, as much as we want it to, I don't think nature is that kind as to give us a free ticket of ditching our classes."

Both voices were smooth and deep, hints of playful humor.

"Aww, don't be such a downer about it! Let's have hope that we all get snowed in so we CAN"

"Axel you don't even like snow"

"But it's useful for a few things, liiiike getting out of work or schools shutting down."

"As college students, I think we're setting a pretty shitty example for all the younger viewers about this talk of ditching classes"

"I know for a fact, Lea, that you don't care about that."

The voice laughed, soon both going into a fit of giggles "you're right!"

"So hey that's all we have for this episode! See you around next time on our podcast Voices of Mayhem. This is Lea Sinclair, peace!"

"And the handsome one of the two, Axel Sinclair! send wishful thoughts so it can snow!"

As the voices spoke, the distant background played Set it on Fire by My Darkest Days.

As the podcast died down in white headphones, the blonde girl took said headphones and tucked them away in her white jacket. Entering the brick building, walls lined with blue lockers and hallways filled with chatty students, Naminé scanned around to see her friends.

Walking up to the duo, she suddenly remembered something that would be an interesting topic to share. A spiky brunette boy was currently trapped in a one sided argument with a girl whose hair color was a red wine. Both wore their own winter clothing in accommodation to the winter season.

The brunette had on jeans with brown boots along with a heavy jacket with blue and black stripes, the redhead wore their white snow boots, jean skirt with white leggings and donned a light pink pea coat dress.

Naminé greeted the two, who stopped bickering, "Hello Sora and Kairi, see you guys are pretty lively this morning"

The girl huffed "well it's Sora's fault he forgot to do his side of the English project" the brunette groaned "I said I'm sorry, I bet if we can ask we can get extra time on it"

The blonde giggled "Well you do have Yuffie as your teacher, I'm sure she'll be fine with that idea, Ah! Also, before I forget, I got something from that abandoned building" Naminé rummaged through her backpack, the duo looking over curiously as she brought out a red book.

"Nam, what were you even doing at that place?" Kairi asked concerned, "Marly wanted to show me and Demyx the building for some reason but we got caught by Xiggy so he let us off with a warning"

"Eh, you're lucky it was him instead of Xaldin, he'd really give you guys major trouble. So what's up with the book?" Sora rested his hands behind his head, eyeing the plain looking object.

"I felt oddly compelled to take this, anyway, look at this, this book is like, in a different language, looks awfully a lot like latin or something" Naminé fingered through the paper, curious blue eyes loomed over the inked pages. "Let me see for a second" the blonde handed Kairi the book, absorbing the words in mind.

"I'm no expert but living with numskull twins who throw latin words and papers of latin homework everywhere, I can possibly assume you might be right Nams, this looks very much like latin."

Sora squints at the words "how do you pronounce that?"

Kairi looks over the three pages where the words began, eyes concentrating on the words as she tried to pronounce the ink-written text "Evigilavi te Maniae, his, qui dormiunt in altera ostium, venit in desiderio animae et evigilare faciatis vagari inter vivos numerabitur"

A minute passed, the girl looked over at the other two, who shrugged "I think I said it right, but if you want, we can ask my brothers to translate some of these but it'd have to be tomorrow" the redhead suggest helpfully. The blonde nodded "that sounds like a good idea, I'm curious on what the words mean but can I ask why tomorrow? not that I'm rushing you or anything"

"It's cool, it's just that my brothers are busy today with some stuff apparently, you know, working on their show and all" the blonde gave a reassuring grin. The three agreed to head to Kairi's place tomorrow to translate the book.

The book was placed into Kairi's locker, the bell rang, signaling that classes will be starting soon so the group broke apart, Sora and Kairi praying that they can get a few extra minutes on their English homework while Naminé blissfully went to art.

As students dispersed, the silence soon settled in the only high school in Twilight Town.

Miles away, stood the decaying building, a lone figure walking in for shelter, their body ragged from the cold winter wind and the aches their legs felt from the weary journey.

Unknown to the tired traveler, a force ripped open in the rotting place, silently, beyond the human eye which cannot see, a portal of blackness oozed out, peeks of bloodshot eyes opened, the smell reeked of decaying flesh. It's site zoomed in on the man walking below, who shuddered, attempting to get warm while their face cringed at the horrid smell.

Skinless tendrils oozed out, reaching to the traveler, tired eyes could not see the tendrils that soon became mouths with dagger like teeth. Then it was all too late, with a sickening force into his body, the evil beings plunged in his back, spitting out acid. Instantly melting their bones, muscles turn into mush while nerves screamed from the pain.

He shot to the ground, pain engulfing him, with maddening confusion and pain, he was helpless, a garbled screeched ripped out from his throat, echoing the empty walls, a distant thought in his mind hoped for a savior to hear his plea but reality was not kind. Their pleas became muddled, throat choking on liquefied organs.

Like fleshy straws, the beings sucked in the contents from the corpse, which was reduced into clothes and flesh. The tendrils retracted, leaving the sounds of squelches along with the scene of a melted body, blood and whatever watery organs spilled around the abandoned clothes.

Soaking into the fabrics.

The being cooed in delight, taste of a living being brought its desire to roam for more but it cannot, it must wait, patiently to hear the welcoming words of hidden dark wishes.

Phew! Glad I got that done, terribly sorry for the wait, I promised a quicker update but alas, I typed quite a lot but I can guarantee chapter 2 will be up soon.
