Prisoner 509, Species: Fae

Chapter 2

At first glance the cafeteria appeared to be a normal public school lunch room. The differences started to appear when you looked closely. As Sam and I approached the serving ladies I noticed foods that would never be allowed at a public school. 

There next to the pizza was bloody steaks. The pasta section had tomato sauce, goat blood, meatballs, or eyes (species not listed) for toppings. At least the salad bar was normal. I went to the soda machines only to see that there was no soda.

Instead of sodas there were different types of blood (human in types 0, A, B, or AB) Next to the blood there was machines that could heat the blood to whatever temperatures you wanted. There were pitchers of swarm water, some brown sludge, and salt water. 

Sam choose some water, but I passes not wanting to rick drinking something poisonous. 

I followed Sam to am empty table and sat down next to her. Sam and I were eating almost the same thing, expect that Same liked mushrooms and green peppers on her pizza while I liked pepperoni and bacon. 

It wasn't long before we were joined by a short, pale girl. She had black hair with red streaks in it and she was carrying a tray full of cubed, bloody, red meat. oh and a glass of milk. 

I tried to keep my face expressionless but when she sat down and picked up a cube of meat and eat it. I couldn't help but grimaced slightly. 

the girl started to laugh, "I was wondering when you would crack. It took Sam only a second before she nearly threw up. By the way, my name is Shay. Who are?"

"Tess.'

"Sam talks about you a lot. Nice to finally meet you.'

Shay continued to eat her lunch and Sam nudged to get me to do the same. 

I had just started to eat my pizza when we where joined by a tall, wiry, super pale boy. He had a mop of black hair that brought out his bright green eyes. He had two mugs of something with marshmallows and a plate heart shaped sugar cookies. 

"Hey, I'm James. Your Tess right?"

"Um, yeah how did you know?"

"I'm in the cell next to Sam's and she told me that her friend Tess was here. Can't say that that is a good thing."

"Oh...OK. Where did you get the hot chocolate?"

James chuckled, picked up a cookie and dunked it into the mug. "This isn't hot chocolate, darling." He pulled out the heart cookie and it had turned from white to a blood red. 

"Oh..." At the shocked look from my face the whole table erupted with laughter. 

For the rest of the lunch period I got to know the two other fae better. I learned that Shay had been in the prison the longest at two years, and James had been there for one year.

Time passed quickly and before longer Guard was herding us out to the Recreation Area. 

After lunch I walked out to the Recreation room with Sam, Shay, and James. Sam lead us to the corner of the room where she always stood in order to get a better view of the room and the other “people” in the room.

 We stood there talking when Shay and James started a fist fight and Sam went to separate the two of them. In that short amount of time that Sam left me, another girl approached me. She had been casually watching us for a bit and when she noticed that I was alone she walked over. She was short with medium length straight brown hair.

 “Hey, I haven’t see you around here before. Are you new?”

 “Yeah.”

 “Cool, well welcome to Prison. My name is Jess by the way.”

 Jess stuck her hand out to shake.

 I looked at the girl before shaking her hand, “I’m Tessa, but everyone calls me Tess.”

 Sam had just separated the werewolf and Vampire. She was turning back to me when she noticed that I was shaking Jess’s hand.

 “Tess, let go! Now!” Sam started to run to me, still telling me to let go of Jess’s hand, but for some reason I couldn’t.

 Every cell in my body felt alive. I didnt want to let go. I can't really explain it, all I know is that I didn’t want to let go. It was like I was had always been meant to be there with Jess. 

 That feeling of being happy was cut short, by Sam slamming into me. I lay on the ground dazed from both the fall and because of the weird thing Jess did to me.

 “Wh-why did you do that for Sam?”

 Sam rolled off of me and pulled me up.

 “I did it for your own good Tess. Jess is a succubus.”

 I shook my head to clear it, “She is a what?”

 Jess had been knocked to the ground when Sam tackled me and she now got up for the ground brushing herself off.

 “I’m a succubus. That means that I feed off of people’s...desires. If you know what I mean.”

 Sam glared a Jess, “Yeah and she abuses her power on every new member.”

 Jess smirked at Sam, “Well you didn’t seem to mind when I said hi.”

 “I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT YOU WERE!!! It is almost impossible to resist a succubus’s power!”

 Shay and James came over to join the group.

 James: “I see you have met our resident succubus.”

 Shay: “Jess you shouldn’t pick on the new kids”

 Jess throws her hands up in the air, “I was just saying ‘Hi’. Is that a crime now?!?!”

 “Yes!!” Everyone answered.

 “Fine! But if you have not noticed, Shay I pick on everyone.”

 Sam moved as if to hit Jess but before she can get far, James grabs her arm.

 “OK well I think it is time for you to go pick on someone else.”

 Jess: “Na, I think I will stay here and play a little longer.”

 Sam sighed and grabbed my arm, “Come on. We can’t make her leave,but we don’t have to stay here.”

 The four of us moved to an open bench, with Jess trailing behind before stopping to “say hi” to a boy sitting by the wall.

 She yelled back,“Bye Tess and if you ever need me you know where to find me.”

“Just ignore her Tess, she acts like that all the time. You usually can’t find her because she is always seducing another poor sucker.” James said as he sat down on the bench.

I sat between him and Sam thinking how weird it is to have the ability to seduce people with only the a touch.

“Hey guys I want you to meet someone,” Shay had gotten up from  the bench and approached a tree that was near us.

“Hey Logan!! Come down and meet Tess! LOGAN!!!”

I couldn’t see what she was yelling at, but then a cougar appeared among the leaves of a branch. The cougar, which I guessed was Logan jumped down from the tree. As he was falling towards us he transformed into a tall teenage boy.

“You don’t have to shout Shay. I was watching you guys. That was Jess causing her usual trouble right?” Logan said was he shook leaves out of his brown hair.

‘Yeah. Anyways, I want you to meet Tess. She is new here.”

I got up from the bench and approached the shape-shifter.

“Well it is nice to meet another person, Shay’s usual friends are so boring.”

“Well I hope that I am not disappointment.” I said with a smile.
