(The lyrics to this song best describe Nyx or this chapter in my opinion. Again, if you all have any songs you'd like to see in a chapter let me know)
"Awww look! It's actually crying!"
"How pathetic!"
"I wonder if it actually hunts food like a wild animal should?!
"C'mon cat! Eat it! EAT THE RAT!"
Their screams and sick eager stares were like knives. Thirsty for the pain of their chosen victim.
One girl from Dorm A held a fat hairless rat by its tail, shoving it in Nyx's blind face. The vermin was dead with a soul-crushing stench that could've killed anything within a radius of 50 feet. And here this student was, dangling it as if it were a fancy toy.
Nyx turned her face away but was still trapped in place by a couple students behind restraining her. She struggled under their grip, thrashing and attempting to wiggle free, but it was futile. It had only been two months into her first year at Darkley's. Her peers had witnessed the power she held. Their curiosity soon grew into jealousy, realizing that she could make herself into a more threatening Villain than they ever could be.
Heck! This mutant barely needed to lift a finger and she could rule a town easily with this gift! Why should they suffer?!
"We're giving you a peace offering. A nice ......tasty...... rat.... for a disgusting animal!" The girl threw the rodent corpse at Nyx, then grabbing the cheetah by the collar of her shirt. "Why must you be so ungrateful? We may be humans, but at least we answer when we are spoken to." She slammed Nyx back to the wall harshly.
The dark cheetah understood their rage. Just last week final exams had been taken, and the one with the highest academic scores were given scholarships to League Universities outside of Ninjago. If one pursued the highest ranking Villainy University , or If one did not want a future of villainy, these exams were their one-way ticket leaving Darkley's by Senior year.
And Nyx, just happened to be the valedictorian of her class.
"My answer is...." Nyx slowly rose from the ground, facing towards the sounds of their voices. "....learn how to be a good losers."
A sharp strike clashed against Nyx's face. The girl's hand now stinging from colliding with the cheetah's cheek.
"You should know your place better, mutant."
Before another word could be uttered, a group of students grabbed Nyx by the shoulders. Guided by the girl from Dorm A, they dragged the cheetah down the hallway.
"LET ME GO!" Nyx kicked and screamed. Flailing her legs as they pulled her by the arms. "I SWEAR I WILL--"
She was cut off as she felt her body being thrown onto concrete ground, and the sound of a door thudding with a close.
The girl pounded on the door teasingly, laughing evilly she called out: "Let's see if you can learn to spend the night in the torture room. Hope you don't get bit by the rats down there!" Her and her minions walked away, sprinkling the air with their snickers and chuckles.
"HELP!!! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!" No one could hear her. And Nyx knew they couldn't because it was the one room in the school that had the thickest walls surrounding it.
It was formerly used as a study session hangout, but now it was an empty dark room. Void of any purpose left to it.
The cheetah sat down on the cold floor, curling her tail around herself. The place was cold and empty just like her peers.
