Henbane Academy

Henbane Academy was faced with a threat. 25 years ago, a murderer by the name of Grim terrorized the school, slaughtering, hanging, burning, drowning the 25 students that fell prey to it's murderous charm. But as years pass, details of the gruesome event have lost themselves. Fact mingling with fiction. So much so, that the Grim has been reduced to a myth. A story to scare children from coming to the school.

25 years later, the dead have chosen to rise from their graves.

Elizabeth came to Henbane to escape, even if it meant with a boy that loved death defying experiments and a girl who was determined to keep the school on their toes. And three years later, she's almost sorry to leave. The school for oddities, where lessons were tailored to fit each student, facilities were reasonable, teachers were verging on pleasant and tuition was free. But just as she starts to enjoy the blissful routine of another year, one sentence rings in the head of every student;
'Another one is dead.'
