The Crestwood Academy

Prologue

"Don't... don't... STOP... ARE YOU DUMB???"

"WHAT MADE YOU THINK JUMPING DOWN THE STAIRS WAS A GOOD IDEA?" shouted Yannie.Moth couldn't understand, "Nooram pushed me, WHAT THE HELL, WHY WOULD YOU BLAME ME!?"

"OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE YOUR DUMBASS DECIDED TO JUMP OFF A STAIR"

The short girl next to Yannie suddenly said, "Y'all shut up, school just ended, we need to go to our dorms quickly or Tr. Joseph is not going to be happy."

Yannie rolled her eyes and felt as if saying any more words won't be worth her time. She walked past Moth and said, "Let's go, Amna." as she spoke, Amna started following Yannie towards the female dorms.

Moth, having been used to Yannie acting arrogant, wiped the dust on his knees and turned to Nooram.

"Where's Rashid? Isn't he usually the one who always leaves first? It's not like him to disappear randomly."

Moth's question made Nooram abruptly stop laughing and frown, "I don't know, he was acting weird earlier when class ended. It seemed like he was in a rush, i think he went to the top floor, the fourth floor."

"Isn't the top floor off-limits? He's going to end up getting caught," said Moth. It was widely known that the fourth floor of the Crestwood Academy was a place blocked off for students.

 There were rumors that some of the students who went there; became lunatics soon after being caught. Rumors also stated that the place once was used to commemorate the former deceased principals of the school, making it a cursed location within the academy.

Most of the former principals died from accidents within the academy instead of natural causes. It caused the school to become infamous for killing its principals and is said to be cursed. Moreover, the academy is located near a deep crimson-red forest and has barely any buildings nearby, making it even more hair-raising, but the academy is surprisingly cheap for its education standards, resulting in its high student enrollment.

"He's the one who always stops us from fooling around near there. Last time, he almost got punished because of us" said Nooram.

"Don't include me into it, you're the only one who likes going up there, though I don't think it's safe for him to be alone there, let's go and check" Motha said while pushing his glasses up his nose.

"Alright, let's go!" Just as Nooram was about to run upstairs, he heard a threatening and deep voice behind him, causing him to shudder slowly."Where do you think you're going, young man?"
