Silenced Scream (Deuce Gorgon x oc)

1- Orientation

Example is thought
"Example" is sign language

Anastasia Screech isn't the most...sociable person in her hometown, which she doesn't know if its because she doesn't speak or if it's because she doesn't have as much money as her classmates.

Or maybe its because she's over 417 years old.

You see, Anastasia isn't exactly...human, like, at all. Anastasia Diane Screech, along with her dear mother, were banshees. "Mythical" irish spirits that would scream and cry when someone nearby was about to die.

Well, thats the myth anyway.

The real banshees are sorta different. They were originally spirits, but they're more like living dead. They can switch between spirit and solid form. Their voices are said to be beautiful, like ghostly sirens. But there's a very special ability they have in which when they scream, they can drain the life force of anyone able to hear their screams.

Most banshees aren't strong enough to be lethal, but Anastasia is unique. In her peak (which is high emotional turmoil, perfectly healthy and rested) she can kill anyone in 30 seconds.

This little quirk of hers would cause a big mistake, and make her fear her own voice, silencing her forever...or will it?

The alarm clock goes off.

A groan could be heard as a pale, translucent hand tries to hit the alarm clock, but ends up letting out a short yell as Ana goes through the alarm clock and side table, flopping onto the floor as she quickly jolts her hand away from the side table before she solidifies again.

Ana sighs, plucking herself off the ground as she rubs her eyes, turning off the alarm clock and walking down the stairs. Seeing her mother sitting at the kitchen table, drinking a coffee as she looks through mail.

Ana smiles and kisses her mother's cheek as she glances over at one of the envelopes, but instead of that envelope being addressed to Maeve, its addressed to Anastasia.

"What's that?" She asks in a soft voice as her mom hands her the envelope. She takes it and opens it, looking over the hot pink letter.

Dear Anastasia Screech,

You have been accepted into Monster High. Your first day starts on the 6th, so we expect you to be on campus officially by the 4th so you can be situated. Your dorm, schedule and all things you need to know will be given to you by me when you get on campus.
I expect to see you soon.

Sincerely,

Nora Bloodgood
Headmistress of Monster High
**Address of school**

She look up at her mom "That's...that's today."

"You better get to packing then, Ana."

She nods and run back up the stairs, grabbing her powder blue and black suitcase from under her bed, shoving in clothes and other things she may need, also grabbing her backpack to shove in a couple pencils, pens and notebooks, as well as her phone, her charger, and her journal.

Should I take Dusk-? She contemplates, looking at the raggity cat plushie sitting on her bed before glancing around and shoving the black stuffed animal into her backpack.

Ana looks in the mirror from across the room, grimacing at the state she's in. She glances at the clock on her side table before going in to take a shower and get ready for the long day ahead of her.

A black car pulls up in the middle of the woods. Maeve gets out of the front seat, grabbing Ana's suitcase from the trunk as Ana gets out the back seat, slinging her backpack over her shoulder, looking at the large tree.
