The horizon was lined the dusk of the evening as I walked through the field. I felt the cold leaves crumble under my bare feet. "Hello? Is anyone there? Hello?" I called out, gripping my scarlet red mermaid gown. Speaking of the silk gown. Where did I get it? Why am I wearing it? But most importantly, where was I? I started look around panicked.

"Hey?! Anybody?! Anybody at all....", my voice fading into a soft whimper as I felt warm tears fall down my face.

"Penelope? Is that you?". A dying voice in the distance replied.

"Um, yes? Who's there? How do you know my name?" I shouted in the direction of the mysterious voice.

"Penelope...help me....please"

I started to run towards the sound, hurting my feet as I ran across the various pebbles scattered through out the ground. I stopped when I saw a figure lying on the ground, struggling to move. "Help me..." They said as they, along with my surroundings, disappeared into smoke.

The sunlight shined onto my eyes as I open them to reveal my college roomate, Jude Chambers. An odd person to room with throughout the years, and I didn't know much about her because she was out most of the day. "Come on, you sick fuck. Time for your morning classes because you love to torture yourself when you wake up!" She shouted at me as she snapped her fingers in my pale face.

"Alright, alright. Just quieten down, there's people still asleep. Jesus." I mumbled as I sat up and rubbed my eyes. "I know. I wish I was one of them, but no! My roomate refuses to ever buy herself an alarm clock, and instead forces her amazing roomie to do all the work at 6:30 in the goddamn mourning!" Jude said as she opened my closet and piled out different clothes for me to wear. I got out of bed and picked out a green cardigan, a pink tanktop, and black short shorts.

"You forgot to put your glasses, genius.", Jude snarked while handing me my glasses. I put them and immediately felt sad. My glasses always made me felt dorky, and insecure. I looked down to the ground for a second before Jude threw the clothes I had picked out earlier at me, sending falling back on the bed. "Stop feeling sad and get dressed. The faster you get out of the dorm, the faster I can go to back to sleep!"

"Oh ha ha, get out of here, Jude." I said getting back up and lifting the clothes off the clothes off of me. Jude giggled as she walked out of my room and towards her own. I got dressed into my clothes and put on my boots made into sandals. I walked into the hall and pushed through the different people also getting in and out of their dorms.

A person who I've never seen before approached me. He was pale and wore a plain black shirt that showed off his muscles. He was a certainly attractive person.

"Um hi, my name is Wolf. I just recently transferred here. I'm looking for my sister, uh....Jude Chambers? Do you know her at all? She looks like she's trying to be Gerard Way in a drag race?" The brown haired man asked. Jude had a brother? Let alone a hot one? Why didnt she tell me? Or at least mention him?

"Wolf? What are you doing here? I didnt know that you transfered here?" I saw the punk appear in the door of our dorm. She looked tired and like she rushed to be back in bed. Her short naturally curled hair was all over the place. I almost didnt recognize her.

"Heh, hi sis." He awkwardly waved at her. "So you have a brother?" I said as I met her eyes. "Yeah. I wasn't expecting for you to ever meet him though. But here he is. Penelope, Wolf. Wolf, Penelope. Now that we're introduced to each other, you go to class. And Wolf, you get in here and tell why you're here at my school." Jude said, annoyed as she dragged Wolf by the hand into the room.

I stood there confused as I stared at the door. I sighed and started my way towards my first class, history.
