Hello! Chappie numbero uno! I am so excited to start off our new narrator, Destiny Quinn. I wrote this a while back, so it might not sound as great as I wanted it to be. But, I wrote a ton so I am not going to erase it and start over!

I have established that high school sucks, and homework is the spawn of Satan. So, that is why writing this in between my filled life is hard.

Anyways, EAMUS!


Journal my insane father got me,

Why do I have to write in you? No one knows, but I guess I do. I am a fifteen-year-old that lives in Squid City. I go to a boring high school that supports squids to the max. I don't necessarily believe in supporting squids, but there is no other option in this world. Well, there is the option that you are declared insane for believing in the rumor of "Sky Army". I don't exactly believe in it. My father does. He tells me that I was brainwashed five years ago. No, I don't remember anything from five years ago, no one does. My father claims he knows Sky Army is out there because we had been in a village that supported the army. My father was appointed as insane and there is no army besides the Squid Army. There is nothing outside the walls of our city. Just monsters and terrible beings. I don't believe them on that bit. There has to be something out there, I feel it calling.

My name is Destiny, and it is my purpose to find what is outside this squid-loving city.

"No, no!" I fussed. It wasn't dramatic enough. I wanted to look back at this dumb journal and read at my 'amazing' writing skills. I sighed. Well, it was good enough. All in the journal was true. My father, insane. I never knew my mother. My father keeps it a secret. Not telling me anything about the mother I had. I don't care. But, the thing I did care about was people calling my father crazy, a freak, insane. He wasn't. He just didn't believe in Squid Army. He was in a sound mind and body. I loved my father so much. The only person I trusted. My only friend in this world of squids. He told me wonderful and delightful stories.

But, this is about me, isn't it? Not my father's story, not my non-existent mother's story, my story.

"Destiny." My father's soothing voice called. I shut the journal, yesterday was Sunday. Or in our house, Market Day. Today was Monday, the first day back at my high school. Squidbank High. Our mascot, a squid charging with a squid sword. Our school colors, grey and navy. Boringness oozing out of school.

I got up walking out of my small room. It only contained a small desk and a small bed. I liked the color blue, but not navy. I wore our retched uniforms. A navy suit-like jacket with long-sleeves, was buttoned up on top of our white long-sleeved dress shirt under. We had a greenish-blue ties that boys and girls both wore. We girls had cream colored skirts that cut right before the knee and navy long socks that cut right after the knee. To finish off the terrible look, we had black flats. Boys wore the same up top and cream dress pants. Their shoes were just plain black dress shoes. Girls normally wore pigtails or braids to keep their hair out of their face. I kept my hair down, letting my bangs sometimes brush into my eyes. I sighed once again, our uniforms were always supposed to look perfect, not a button out of place. Hair was always fine, normally. It's just I didn't want to go back. Back to school I mean. School was the worst, learning stuff I already know. Well, not anymore. I'll get to that later.

"Morning Destiny!" My father exclaimed happily.

"Morning Dad." I said with little enthusiasm.

"Honey, why are you sad?" He asked.

"I'm not sad, I just don't want to go to school." I explained.

He sighed. I shrugged, school was boring and he had to understand that. "Well, it shouldn't be this year. All that studying during the summer, you're one smart girl." My father smiled. He turned back to making breakfast. He muttered something. It sounded like, "Just like your mother," but I didn't know for sure.

"Yeah, whatever," I murmured under my breath. "Thanks," I said. He said I was smart and being complimented in my house, means you say thank you.

"You're welcome." He smiled again. My father always had a wonderful attitude. We had some soup for breakfast, just like every morning. I was used to it, but my dad had always tried to mix it up, today, there were bits of steak in the mushroom soup, making it a nice combo. Even if it was for breakfast. My father cooked things that we should normally have for dinner, for breakfast. I liked it, we were a fun quirky family. Most would have an apple or just not eat. I, on the other hand, ate and ate plenty.

"Thanks for breakfast!" I yelled on my way out the door.

"Be safe!" My father yelled back. The door closed, leaving me in the cold windy walk to school. My father would always yell something out the door when left. Once he had said, "Don't get bullied!" Like I had a chance if I wanted to get bullied or not. No, I wasn't bullied, but I didn't have any friends either. I was the smart kid that squids watched out for. I was pretty smart, I admit it. I sat with the smart kids, the nerds if you will, who sometimes really drooled. I helped them with homework that was difficult for them, but I never made friends out of them. The guys would sometimes talk to me and ask me how my day was and all that, but I just responded with simple answers.

The cool autumn wind flew around the city. Stone houses occupied areas. I lived in the city or the "safe" place the squids called it. Markets lay on the other side of town. This was the housing place. The school wasn't too far. My small brown pack bounced on my back. The clouds were gray, like everyday. Even in the summer, we had clouds, they seemed to just hang over the city. I hated it. I wanted to see the light, I wanted sunlight. I sighed. I would probably never see any sunlight in my life.

"Hey Destiny!" A kid called out coming from his house. I groaned on the inside. His hair was an unmanly blonde. His eyes were a soft brown. He wore giant black glasses that made his eyes the biggest feature on his face. He was a bit taller than me, but not by much.

"Hey John." I greeted, not with much enthusiasm, but John didn't seem to mind. His uniform was a bit too big for his small boyish body. It hung on him. John was one of the nerds at my lunch table. John was a senior this year. He had skipped a grade. He was supposed to be a Junior. I wished he could be a Junior. Then I would have been able to avoid him.

"Are you ready for school?" He asked, his smile giant.

"I guess." I uttered. If I had a friend and they asked this question, I would probably launch into a whole speech on how school is useless.

"New year! New learning!" John exclaimed. He was a very optimistic person. Also, his parents were neutral on supporting squids. John believed that there was no such thing as Sky Army or anything along the lines. I disagreed with John a lot, but I never told him.

"What did you do during the summer?" I asked John, so I didn't have to talk. John started talking about his summer and I tuned him out. I nodded and said "Cool," at the appropriate times. We walked for a while and then we finally reached the school.

"So, I'll see you at lunch?" John asked.

"I guess." I answered. John walked away to make friends with the nerdy seniors. I walked up to pick up a schedule at a table at the end of the hallway. A hybrid woman sat there.

"Ah hello," She declared when I got close. "What's your name, miss?"

"Quinn, Destiny Quinn."


So how do you guys like Destiny? She will become way more badass, but we still need to develop her character. Also, this story is broken up into three parts

1. Suspicion
