"Some one! Please get me out of here!" Came a muffled female voice.
In one of the lockers of Winslow High, a girl of about 15 years of age, with long, curly black hair and glasses, though the glasses were thrown on floor and broken by her bullies, she had a thin-lipped, wide, expressive mouth, and had large green eyes and gawky figure, and was approximately 5'6 in height. This girl is Taylor Hebert daughter of Annette and Danny Hebert.
Taylor wasn't having a good day in school. It started right after winter break and like usual her dad dropped her off to the Academy, and as since the start of High School Emma Barnes, Madison Clements and Sophia Hess started their bullying campaign in making her life as miserable as possible, but unlike the usual pushing around, throwing stuff out of the backpack or pouring the contents of her fruit juice over her. Taylor wondered what the hell had gotten to her former friend.
They seemed to have gotten tire of that, and now wanting to take thing further, they shoved Taylor inside of a locker, that was filled with various sorts of sanitary products causing her to vomit as she was trapped inside the locker that Hess had put her in and was unable to move all that much, other then punch it in a feign hope to get out of this coffin.
And right now Taylor was angry, angry at her friend's betrayal, angry at Hess thinking that she could do whatever she wanted, angry at the classmates that had left her there despite being fully able to help her out of this chemical death trap, and most of all she was angry at herself for being so weak, so pathetic that she allowed these Worms to do with her as they pleased.
"Do you want power?" Came a cold female voice.
"What?" Asked Taylor not knowing how to respond to the voice.
"Do you want power, to get out of this cesspit and take the revenge you want?!" Came another voice, but unlike the first one that had a feeling of an ice storm, this one sounded hot tempered like a raging fire.
Taylor stopped for a moment and began to wonder what the voices were talking about.
"Come girl, we need an answer, do you want to die here in this pool filled with toxins or do you want to get free and take revenge off of those that have tormented you on those that left you to the dogs?" Came another voice this one however sounded, playful, dark, a sadistic and cruel edge to it.
"I..." Taylor was hesitant, however these voices that she kept hearing were right, she wanted revenge she wanted them to suffer, the Humiliation, the abandonment from her fellow students, and suddenly she felt some crawl from coming her skin, when she suddenly realized that it was some.
"So what will it be girl? Will you accept our help, or will you stay here and let the Toxic fumes kill you, whilst insects fester your corpse?" Came a male voice, who to Taylor's ears sounded like man a man who sounded like a sage. She couldn't believe herself listening to some voices in her head she was wondering if she was going insane.
"I can assure you girl we are as real as your flesh and blood vessel." Came a female voice this one however sounded extremely haughty and arrogant.
"Ignore my sister, what'll be your answer girl, Life or death?" Another Male voice said with finality in his tone
"Ye...Yes. I accept your help." Responded Taylor, accepting the help of these strange voices.
"Good, now all you have to do is to let go." Said the cold female voice.
"W-What?" Taylor asked, wondering what the cold voice meant with "let go".
"Just do as I say girl, clear your mind and let go of all earthly concerns." Said the Sage-like male voice.
And so Taylor did as the voice said and let go.
"Good girl." Said the Dark and sadistic voice, that sounded a bit to pleased.
And as soon as Taylor did as the voice told she felt like gasping and the color of her hair changed, from it's normal black to dark grey, same with her green eyes which changed to dark red
"Now let havoc ensue." "Taylor" thought to herself as she used her powers to free herself from the locker, meaning that she punched it, causing it's bolts to fall off and Taylor fall on her knees.
She got on her feet and took a deep breath.
"Finally I'm out of that shithole." "Taylor" thought to herself as a devious smirk spread across her face, though before she could do anything she channeled some strange energy which removed the filth that had stuck onto her clothing.
"Now let's do a test drive." "Taylor" said as she clicked her fingers, and soon red feathers began to fall down.
In a Winslow class room
The classroom had just finished and the students were walking outside of the class, and suddenly they saw strange red feathers, and suddenly they heard Emma falling to the ground screaming and flailing.
"Let me me go! Let me me go!" Screamed Emma as she flailed around trying to get away from something.
Though while the other students didn't see it to Emma's eyes there were ABB gang members trying to grab her.
But Barnes wasn't the only soon many students, started screaming and running as if scared that something might catch them.
And many Members of the Faculty wondered what was going on with the students that caused them to react in such a manner.
Suddenly a black feather landed on Hess' shoulder and she began to feel light headed and her world turned dark and she woke up again to find herself in a place where there was nothing but darkness.
"Pathetic." Came a harsh voice causing Hess to look behind her self as if trying to see who was there.
Suddenly she felt a punch to the gut, then a kick to her face.
"You really as pathetic are make yourself to be Brat, all that spouting about you being at the top of the ladder." Came a distorted voice, from the shadows.
"Who are you?!" Shouted Hess as she tried to punch the shadowy figure.
"Really Brat? You don't recognize your old man? For shame, and here I thought you "loved" me." Came a voice that made Hess stop for a moment and feel cold sweat rolling from her forehead.
"No... No no no no no, Impossible. You should be dead!" Sophia said as she turned around to see someone she never thought that she'd see in a million years. In front of he was a Man 6' 1", brown skin, short black hair and hazel eyes, he had a strong build, with visible muscles, a grey T-shirt, loose jeans a pair of black sneakers.
"Me, dead? Hah, you brat can't get rid of me that easily, I will always be there when you fail and when you break, all that you'll se is my face, after all I am the very monument of your sins." The man told Hess who was shaking in fear.
"What's the matter Brat, shaking in your boots?" The man taunted, causing Hess to attack him, who in turn dodged.
"Well aren't you feisty." The man said tauntingly.
Suddenly Hess felt something something in her hand and saw her lethal bolt crossbow on her hand, and aimed it at the man in front of her, and as she pulled the trigger the bolt connected with the man, then he disappeared in a flurry of black and red feathers revealing Emma.
"Nor bad." Sophia loaded another bolt and shot as soon as she heard the voice behind her, but the bolt instead of connecting with her old man connected with Madison.
"You really need to practice your shots." Suddenly came a female voice that Hess was eerily familiar with, and she looked around.
"What's the Matter Hess? Not so tough as you make yourself, eh?" The voice taunted her as it laughed at her inability to retaliate.
"Come out, you coward!" Yelled Hess.
"Me? A coward? Why that's mighty rich coming from you Hess, considering that you powers reflect who you really are, a little girl playing survival of the fittest but in reality is just a scared little girl lying to herself." Taunted the voice, causing to look behind her self, as a bo-staff contacted it self to her face.
"That's the difference between you and me I know when I should stick out of the shadows, whilst you. You cower away in them like scared little girl, hiding away like a thief in the night, until all have gone asleep." Taunted the voice and the last thing Hess saw was was Hebert, who seemed to have undergone a drastic change, with slightly beefier arms, and long grey hair, dull red eyes, and cruel smirk plastered on her face.
"Say good night Hess." Said Hebert as she slammed the staff on her hand on Hess' head.
Behind a Corner in the hallway.
"Taylor" looked at her handy work and looked pleased as she saw the students running around in fear as if the biggest monster was chasing them down.
"I feel good about myself, at seeing these worm running like scared little children." "Taylor" thought to herself seeing them scouring like maggots, she winced and grabbed her head as if in pain.
"Well it was fun while it lasted." "Taylor" said to herself, as she closed her eyes and took a deep breath to calm the pain.
Now Taylor's dark grey changed back to her normal black hair and green eyes, and she looked around seeing the students either screaming, and felt a god awful headache, and having strange feeling of wetness over her mouth, so she moved her hand over her mouth and when she pulled it off she saw that it was blood, her blood coming from her nose.
"What just happened?" Taylor thought to herself as she saw the students running, and her bloodied nose
"Nothing for you to worry about little bird, just maggots running about scared for their lives." Came the cruel tone, with an uncaring tone.
"Why?" Taylor asked.
"All will be explained later kid, just go to a place where the public doesn't have sight of Civilians or are within earshot. We don't want people to notice us nor this PRT to come after us." Said the sage like male voice.
"We can go to my home, we can discuss thing from there." Taylor told the voices.
"Very well." Sad the man.
Winslow High exit Hallway
"Hey kid." Came a female voice in Taylor's mind.
"Yes?" Taylor asked.
"Why not try and call the police and the PRT?" The Female voice from earlier asked her.
"Why?" Taylor asked again why should she call the PD and PRT.
"Well your locker for one was filled with biohazard material, which if I recall correctly for you humans this qualifies as Bioterrorism, and you know what that means right? And besides you can get some well deserved payback on the school for letting: Hess, Barnes, and Clements, have their way with bullying you, and possibly killing you." The voice urged Taylor, the Latter who considered it.
But right now she had no phone to make the call, as Hess had broken it yesterday.
"Later right now we need to get somewhere, away from people." Taylor told the Voice.
"As you wish kid." The voice relented.
But Taylor got thinking.
"Now that doesn't sound like a bad idea." Taylor said, as she agreed with the plan to sue the school and The Trio for Bioterrorism.
Change of Location.
Hebert Residence
As Taylor arrived at her home after an hour's walk, she noticed that her dad wasn't home, she then decided to look around her house to see if her dad was at the kitchen making dinner, but saw that he wasn't there, and saw note on the Fridge, which wrote.
"Taylor, I am unable to be home tonight at dinner, as something came up at work, so I left some spaghetti and meatballs inside the fridge."
"Dad".
Taylor read as she opened the fridge to see a food container covered with a grey cover and was filled with spaghetti and meatball over it, though she let out a sigh and sat down and began to eat her dinner, feeling a bit mopey.
"What's the matter little girl?" Came a female voice.
"It's nothing." Taylor said as she began to dig into her lunch.
"Your expression says otherwise little girl, you face is like that of a depressed child whose favorite pet died." Came one of the voices she hear earlier since school.
"It's nothing..." Taylor said as she drifted off to other thoughts, but all of a sudden she saw several individuals appeared before her, the first one was a female with white hair tied into a messy bun, and frosty blue eyes a sharp jawline, she was wearing a pair of bluish black boots, a form fitting light blue bare back shirt, a pair of ankle length Pants, and was carrying no other accessories, she totally rocked the Ice queen look.
The other one was a female that looked similar to the Ice queen in terms of clothing but with a few differences, her hair instead of being in a messy bun were set in a normal ponytail, and amber colored eyes, and she seemed to exclude a hot tempered aura.
The third one had grey hair and some black locks, she was wearing a black qipao-like dress with a white fur scarf, black stockings, black knee high socks, multicolored gloves, and silver heels. She also has a golden/black feather hairpin, she was also wearing a golden bracer on her arms, and a long asymmetrical skirt that resembles wilted butterfly wings. It, along with the hairpins, both shimmer and shift like flames.
Then there were two males, The first one seemed to be in his late 20s was wearing a simple grey greatcoat, a pair of black pants, a pair of brown shoes and a grey sweater. Hi hair and eyes were both brown and had a strong jawline with a 5 o'clock shadow and fair complexion.
The other one was wearing a hoodie with a red interior, a pair of loose jeans and two fingerless gloves. As for facial features he had dull red eyes, messy pale brown hair, pale complexion and he seemed to be about 19 years old.
And last but not least was another girl who seemed to be 3 years older then her she had dark purple long hair and had red eyes, she was wearing a white and blue hoodie, black thigh highs and boots, but looking at her she seemed to release a malicious and cold aura,
"So... you are the voices I heard when I was in the academy?" Taylor asked as she looked at the 6 individuals in front of her.
"You are correct little girl." The man with the brown hair said as he looked at her intently.
"Who are you people?" Taylor asked.
"We have been called many things in the past: Emissaries of God, Lords of Collapse, Monsters, just to name a few." Said the male teen, responding to Taylors question.
"But we have been most commonly known as Herrscher." Said the one with the grey hair as she looked at Taylor.
