Nevermore Academy || Marilyn Thornhill and fem! OC

Chapter One

The day they drove across statelines, to get to Eris' and Jocelyns new school, the sky wore the colour of a mystical grey. Eris felt it was a perfect representation of her mood.
She was sitting in the backseat of her parents silver BMW, headphones in, blasting Nirvanas Come as you are, so she couldn't hear the sound of the radio or the cars they zoomed past. The Ryders appeared to be in a great hurry.
Mr. and especially Mrs. Ryder wanted to unload their daughter, dressed in her regular all black clothes, as quickly as possible, already imagining themselves free of the trouble she caused.
Leaving their precious angel with the little daemon was a choice which had been taken out of their hands. As soon as Jocelyn had heard her eleven minutes younger twin would be shipped off to a school for outcasts and weirdos she had presented her parents with the ultimatum of either keeping Eris home or exiling her too.
The decision had been made with some difficulty, yet hadn't cost much time. The prospect of being rid of their troubled daughter, though not seeing their wonderchild for some time, was much more attractive than keeping Eris home.
Eris imagined the eleven minutes it had taken her to claw her way out of her mothers hostile uterus, in pursue of the light radiating from her sister, had been the last happy moments their parents had spent as a family.

She felt a tap on her shoulder and turned to Jocelyn in the seat next to her. She pointed out the car window, just in time for Eris to spot a street sign reading Vermont in large black letters.
Wow, she thought. It had taken her parents half the time it usually would to get to the state Nevermore Academy was in. If they continued like this, Eris knew, they'd arrive before noon. They'd be way earlier than they were expected.
Oh well, not like she wanted to spent a second longer with her parents than she had to.
Settling back into her seat, Eris decidedly ignored Jocelyns attempts to get her to play cards with her and stared blankly put of the window.

For the next months in the very least she would be living at Nevermore Academy. She wondered what kind of lessons a school like Nevermore had to offer. Nothing like regular geography or mathematics she imagined. And how was a school like that not noticed by the locals, she questioned. A school visited by strange creatures had to pull some attention to itself. How was it Jerichos people hadn't taken out their pitchforks and torches, storming the place with the goal of burning it to the ground.
Eris rolled her eyes at her thought. It's not dracula, dummy, she reminded herself.
Although, she realised, she had no idea what it was.
Before her parents had told her they were sending her to this school, she had never known that there were other people like Jocelyn and herself out there. The Outcasts. Eris cringed. She didn't like that name. It sounded like something so negative.
Even though she had been told over and over again, she was dangerous and freaky, she should never show her abilities because they weren't natural or right, Eris had never lost a certain fascination with them.
It wasn't like she had chosen to have abilities such as hers. She knew they were dangerous. She knew she could easily hurt, torture or even kill people, but had her parents not treated her with such despise and terror, she might never have realised that. At the least, she'd never have wanted to be able to do theses things.

Thinking about it, made Eris recoil into herself, enraged by her parents treatment and disgusted by her own mind.
She knew she shouldn't ponder on the topic of her powers. It made her furious with the world.
Furious at how unfair it was for her sister to be blessed with such light and herself cursed with the darkness she could unleash.

Feeling her temperament rising, Eris dug her nails into her palms until the pain drove most of her thoughts from her mind, clearing her head.

With all this thinking she hadn't noticed the songs going by and now Creep by the Radioheads was playing. Eris facepalmed. Such a fitting song for her train of thought. Swiftly she took out her phone and skipped the song. Now blasting ACDCs Highway to Hell.
We'll see if it is, Eris thought bitterly.
