Rave Academy

Prologue

The Crow (2015)

    A woman was standing in front of an abandoned building. Three other people followed after her. The woman wore a long black coat, covering her knees. She had blue jeans, and black boots that went above her ankles. Her eyes were hazel brown, her hair a darker shade of brown. Her eyes scanned the building, admiring every detail of it.
   "This is the so-called 'Rave Academy' you went to?" A short man asked, standing next to her.
   "Shut up," The Brunette girl hissed.
   She turned towards a blonde-headed woman, exchanging nods. The building was going to be a rebuilt school. They had planned it for months.
   "Alright," The blonde woman sighed, "We should head inside unless we want to die in the cold."
   "Very funny," A tall guy said sarcastically, shoving his hands in his jacket pockets.
   The four people headed into the school, ducking their heads as they passed the debris that hung from the roof. Dust was everywhere, settled on old furniture.
   "Are you sure we should've gotten into this school?" The tall man asked, running his hands through a dusty bookshelf, "We could've chosen the school that was way cheaper than this."
   "But it wouldn't have the thing I'm looking for," The brunette woman said, pushing open a door.
   A room was shown from the other side of the door, and it was in perfect condition. The woman stepped into the room. A chandelier glistened as small diamond crystals hung from it; full-body mirrors were on every wall in the room; beams stood next to them. It was a ballet room, ballet shoes were laid on the floor in the corner.
   "How did this survive the fire?" The blonde woman asked, placing her hands on a balance beam, "No dust...on anything."
   "Don't touch anything, please," The brunette woman said, staring at a trophy case, pushed up to the corner of the room. Opposite from the shoes laid on the floor. The trophy case only had one trophy. The name was covered by a gold metal wrapped around it.
   "Was the metal yours?" The blonde woman asked, tilting her head as she stared at the trophy.
   "No," The brunette woman sighed, "I'll get rid of it."
   Crash!
   The sound of something falling filled the entire building. Seconds later, a man screamed. The blonde woman and Brunette exchange glances before walking out of the room.
   The tall guy pulls the short guy's arms as the short guy screams. His leg was stuck under a bookshelf.
   "What happened!?" The brunette woman asked.
   "We have to leave this place!" The short guy yelled as his foot was removed from the bookshelf.
   "Because you can't stop touching things!?" The brunette woman asked, "I think not."
   "We didn't touch the bookshelf!" The tall guy yelled, pulling the short guy to his feet.
   The sound of trees snapping began to fill the hallways. The brunette woman turned towards the sound, seeing a tree root stretch towards them. A girl singing in a whisper filled the room as the roots wrapped around everyone's feet.
   "What in the supernatural world is this!?" The blonde woman yelled, trying to pull her feet up.
   "We have to get out of here!" The brunette woman yelled, grabbing the blonde woman's hand.
   The blonde woman was pulled out of the roots, she immediately climbed onto a bookshelf. The brunette woman stretched her hands out but didn't feel anyone pull her up.
   "Sorry," The blonde woman sighed, "But I figured color you don't stand in the sun. You look 16... you're 37."
   "Belle! Stop this nonsense!" The brunette yelled as the vines covered both men's entire bodies.
   "Quit your lying!" Belle yelled, "Try surviving any longer, Amira."
   I stood on a branch, my eyes watching the whole thing happen. I flapped my wings against the winds, pulling my body into the air. I watched the school's floor wrap in plants before I cawed and flew off into the sky.
