Chloe Plouton started to have trouble with her powers. The problems began when she turned 16, so, with the hope of getting it under control, she headed to Nevermore, a school full of outcasts with different abilities, like herself.

It was the beginning of the semester when Chloe showed up at the gates of Nevermore Academy, the air was still warm from the summer heat while the trees waved with the occasional breeze. Her purple and black dress swayed with the wind while the small train bounced in the air, in sync with her steps into the building. She listened to her combat boots hit the marble floor with a sound of confidence and her posh suitcase ruffle against her dress while she found her way to the principle's office.

Chloe sat in front of the principle, Larissa Weems, while the older woman discussed the situation with her. "So," she began, "since you weren't available for class registration or orientation, I took the liberty of helping you, Miss Plouton."

Chloe nodded her head at her words and explained, "Larissa, I expect you received my letter about my powers... The main problem is when my heart rate increases, other than those times, I have full control."

She gave Chloe a small comforting smile and replied with, "Yes, I'm aware and I have already informed the staff that if you suddenly disappear for a bit, not to be worried." She covered her mouth to hide a small chuckle and paused awkwardly, "I think this will be a suitable time to show you to your new room, Miss Plouton."

Chloe grabbed her suitcase and rose while her new principle lead her to her room in Ophelia Hall. They stopped in front of a single door and the older woman pushed the door open. Chloe stepped inside to see a medium-sized, fully furnished bedroom and set her suitcase down next to her twin-sized bed.

"I will have a student deliver the school uniform to you, and of course, it's only optional, Miss Plouton." Weems stated.

"Thank you for your hospitality, so far, Larissa." Chloe said as she gave the older woman a soft smile.

Weems bowed her head as a "no problem" and left the girl alone.

As Chloe was unpacking her clothes and shoes from her suitcase, there was a knock on the door. Chloe sat her semi-folded turtleneck on the white-silk covered bed and walked to the door. When she opened it, she came face-to-face with a dark-skinned girl with light eyes and scales on the sides of her face and hands. The girl was holding up a purple and black uniform and Chloe stared at her while holding her hands up to receive the outfit from the other girl. The scaled-girl stared back with a condescending look in her eyes. Chloe broke eye-contact when she saw a movement in her peripheral vision. It was a boy, a very handsome and tall boy, who had his arms crossing and a stoic look on his face. Chloe took a deep breath as her pupils dilated and she ripped the uniform out of the girl's hands and slammed the door shut. When she looked down at her her hands, she noticed that the lower half of her body was missing.
