Hi my name is Alice La Strange. I have only been in the town and school for a year. I have a hidden past that I don't let anyone know about. I'm bubbly, can be an air head, know to always have a smile on my face and kind to everyone I meet. I used to see the good in everything but everything changed when the group spark appeared. Who knew that such a harmless group at the start could change so much.
At the start of school today everyone kept talking about the new group that came to town. I found out it was called Spark. It's a group that anyone can join and they do really fun activities. My friends said that we could join after school and see what had everyone talking about it. We went to class and had a pretty normal day. Half the class got into trouble, people got sent to the principal's office. After school my friends and I went to see where we could join. People who had already joined had told us it was a lot of fun and others who were just joining now said that it sounds cool. After we had joined we were told that there was a meeting that we had to go to at 9:30 in the abandoned hall.
When we went to the abandoned hall there was so many people there and seats everywhere. It looked like it could have the whole town and still have more room. The walls and roof were a burgundy brown and the floor was hazel brown wood. There was a black wooden stage at the front of the seats. When the meeting began it was really fun. We did a verity of activities such as tug of war, race, paint ball fight and names. It's been a month since then we had gone to all the meetings and did a few camps it was really exciting. The second meeting we had meet the maker of spark Cruella De Vil he was pretty cool she came up with different games for us to do and it was experience with new things. With school the teachers had seen that majority of students had joined spark so they said to write an essay on it.
When I was writing my essay I started to see that some of the activity's we had done were strange they did not seem like activities for a bunch of kid's. I just decided to go to the next meeting tonight and tell them at the end so it could go back to activities for teens. Later at the meeting the first activity we did was laser tag but I noticed something was wrong the gun weighed too much to be a laser tag one. It looked different from them to. The guns looked like the real ones I had seen in the past.so I checked where u put the pullets in the real gun and there were foamed pullets in it. The foamed part was a good thing but where did they get these guns because now I know they are real. I had to speak to Cruella De Vil but I could not tell the others because they would ask how I knew.
Later on I told Cruella about the activities and asked how she had come up with them. I knew not to ask about the guns if she knew and was the one who planed that then it would be a terrible choice to tell her I knew. She told me that 'it was just a thought and she decided to go with it'. I could tell she was lying by the look in her eyes. Later on my friends sore me and could see that I was not smiling witch is unusual for me. I told them that I thought the activities were beginning to feel like training. They looked at me shocked, then they went back to the hall without a word. When they had come back they also had an instructor of spark and he had kicked me out of spark. After I was kicked out I sore that no one would talk to me, they acted like I don't exists.
After that happened I had been looking at the work the students had handed in to the teachers about spark. I had been allowed to read them so I could write an essay about it, since I no longer was in spark. I had seen in the work that the activities are just getting worse. A week later I had some of the students in spark come up to me. They told me on that they realised what was happening in spark and quit. Now they want me to help get everyone else to realise what is going on in spark. After they said that I smiled, it was the first time I had smiled since everyone started to ignore me. So after I said that I would help them we made a plan to see what is going on with Cruella De Vil. Before we even got off of school grounds though we bumped into spark members. They sore that it was us and yelled traders repeatedly. When we finally got to where Cruella was I quickly got everyone that came with me to hide. I knew something was up with Cruella so I had my phone on recorded. Even though I knew something was up with Cruella I was shocked by what we heard. Cruella had planned all of this. She had planned the activities so that the spark members would be loyle and agile so that she could be the leader of this town the real guns in laser tag was so they knew how to shot someone who didn't follow her .After she had stopped talking to herself we quickly and quietly went back to school. Even though school was over they still had some doors not locked so we got in that way. When we were in a classroom and were shore no one was around I listened to what I had recorded. Everything she had said was exactly what we needed to have to prove what is happening at spark. The next day they managed to get everyone in town to the hall including the spark members.
We then played the recording to everyone. Families with spark members in them looked terrified about what had been happening in spark, People who were in spark just had a look of disbelief on their face and Cruella looked petrified she got up and started to run for the exits but the town police grabbed her before she could escape and they arrested her. Everyone who was in stark started to go to their families and friend's and my friend's apologised for the way they acted when I was kicked out. We then had the town government come up to the stage and they made a law that if anyone came up with a new idea, the idea would have to be recognised as a safe thing by five different people before they could use that idea.
After all that happened everything went back to normal, but nobody forgot what had happened and they never will.
