I was running out of leads very quick. No one was talking, and all I have gotten so far was Dawn was called the "Captain." I found out why, of course I had to make sure there was no real tampering of Dawn's diary. After my run in with, something in the library, I had to be sure. I found out the, hard way the campus wasn't to be trusted. I have hoped Dawn would have said something, but she didn't say anything. Was there a reason behind it?

Needless to say, my next clue was to visit the gym. Apparently where Dawn had spend a great deal of time, and a very good place to see the place she spent so much of her time at. There was one thing I had to do, was to find the place Dawn has been most comfortable with. I believe the gym was her haven, in this place. Maybe someone, in the gym will be able to tell me more about her and what she did here. I know all I have heard is good things about my sis, doing all she can to protect everyone she can. That is something I have always expected from her.

I arrived at the gym pretty quick, it was very accessible, but apparently only the people whom has business there goes there regularly. The Swim Team, Cheerleaders, etc. She does have a lot more reasons to stay here then to be at the dorms, where everyone she has known is gone. I can't help but to wonder how much that hurts, how much that has to been eating her up.

When I got in the gym, there was some students practicing, most of them in pairs, and the pairs are usually in groups that are scattered. There was mats on the floor, to indicate that this is where the Cheerleaders practiced. Probably the best area to start. Some where my sister tried everything to protect these girls.

*Cangelosi, the xenomorphic blob, had just finished with another tagging. It dragged the unconscious and sticky student back into the supply closet, having restored the girl's clothes in deign of modesty's sake, closing the door behind itself. It hears footsteps approaching. Giving a soft eeep, it makes a beeline behind one of the water fountains, an eyestalk keeping upwards as it notices Camryn snooping by. Hrm...now this is interesting...this one looked familiar enough....*

I have asked several of the Cheerleaders regarding my sister. Most of them held her with high praise, and all of them have no clue where she has gone to. If I remember correctly, one had said, "Ms. Portman, I don't know. She has kept a lot of the bad stuff away from us, I believe she...took some of it herself. Sadly, I don't know where the Captain went. All we gotten was that she has graduated and left the campus. I found it fishy though, I know the Captain would have said something. I guess whatever happened, happened quick enough so she wasn't able to warn us. I'm sorry I can't help, but maybe the Swim Team would be able to tell you more. You can find them just through that door, they should be there now."

She was helpful enough, most of the Cheerleaders were. They didn't seem to mind helping, unlike a lot of other people I have ran into. I guess Dawn strategy was to make them stick together, and open to questions regarding the disappearances on campus. What caught my attention was what she said though. Dawn disappeared quick, and wasn't able to warn them? What did happen then? Something must have changed to make the school move so quick and remove my sister from the campus. Then again, I don't mind having her come back to me. I'll have more time to think about all of this though.

First was to visit the Swim Team, maybe they are able to help me. So I walked towards the double doors on the gym side, towards the other part of the gym. I been having some trouble focusing though. There was just so much I needed to find out, and it's all very confusing at the moment. I wish there was more straight answer solution to all of this, then having to go around like this. Apparently behind the administration. I ran into the gym, there was about only a handful of students in the pool, some were getting out. Have to try and catch one of them and ask.

*The blob shadows Camryn every step of the way. The curious eyestalks arched in confusion as it slid behind one of the benches, watching the girl ask questions. See, this was interesting, this girl asking so many questions about her sister.

Hrm...sister. Come to think of it, the blob thought it did a tagging of a girl that fit that description long ago. A rather vocal one, she was. She was barely out of swim practice herself when it hid in her locker and snatched her. Quite juicy...but loud. Very very loud. Guess not everyone was keen to the idea of tentacles, once it thought about it hard enough.

Still, as Camryn prodded deeper, the blob kept watch, giving a glance to the milling bodies, some it had snatched before, others it had not, making mental reminders.*

I walked through the Swim Team area. I was able to catch one of them, the other was leaving. When I caught the student, her apparent friend stayed behind. "Excuse me, I was hoping if you can tell me about Dawn. If you are able to tell me where she disappeared to?" Needless to say that question caught her off guard. The other student came close and gave me this, who are you look. "Look, I know Dawn, she's...very close to me, I just want to know if you can tell me if you know what happened to her." I wasn't about to say I am her sister just in case, but these girls should know...something.

"The Captain...I don't know, she just disappeared on us. We went to the Cheerleaders and it was the same story. We went to the Co Captain, Kim, and she wasn't able to say much more either. All she has said was Dawn received a letter from the campus, and next thing she knew, Dawn was gone. We are...trying out best to hold it together, but Dawn was the heart of both of our squads. It feels, wrong without her." I thanked her and let the two go, well at least that was something. So, Dawn received a letter from the campus, and then she disappeared. The campus has something to do with it all, something they did made her go from this place. It was the best I guess, Dawn came back to me. However, I can't help but feel a bit sad for the students here whom look at my sister for hope. If she was there hope, maybe what they did was a two pronged attack. To take away the one thing that the students had, and also to put in dread. If Dawn disappeared, then they would lose hope.

How evil can this campus be? I wish I can help, but I honestly don't know anything my sister knew regarding Cheerleading and coaching the Swim Team. Oh well, I guess I can try another lead then. Time to head for the main campus...

*As Camryn exited the pool area, her eyes picked up a flash of oily black in the shadows of the hallway, and a bit of chittering. It seemed to be going towards the back of one of the gym hallways. She did remember there were hints of some file closets in that direction, records perhaps of those on the athletic teams. And was that a set of yellowish eyes staring at her from the dar...no...trick of the light, of course. Damn fluorescent lamps...*

"That was weird. I could have swear I saw something." I had to pull myself back a bit and look down the hallway. It was dark... very dark. I guess I could have been mistaken, but it is dark hall way, if I saw something, I should know. Hmm Would looking at some records help? Would they tell me what this school is up to? Would they honestly write that down on paper? They could be that dumb I guess. It won't hurt to take a look at I guess. I turn myself there, and walked down the hallway, all the way, slowly making my way there, trying to see if there is some sort of light some where.

"For the love of god, there should be some light source here, why is it a records office if there isn't a light?"

Just as she finished that out-loud thought, the lights flickered on in one of the side rooms. As she peered in, she sees what she was looking for. A room full of file cabinets and computer screens. Strange that there would be a room like this off to the side of the gymnasium. As she stepped in, she could notice that it was quite hot in that room...but still, her determination forced her to go through with her search.

"This is interesting...why an office in the gym? Doesn't make sense. None of the Swim Team members or Cheerleaders said anything regarding this. It looks fishy to me, there shouldn't be a records office here." I thought quietly to myself. Something doesn't feel...right to me. It is so hard to explain but I can't put my finger on it. It is unusually hot here too, I am not wearing too much, the mini skirt the school requires. There has got to be like, at least a 10 degree difference between the rooms. Oh well, I guess I'll search and leave as soon as I can then. Where to start... The file cabinet? No that takes too long, I guess the computers are the only hope. I need to search quick and leave.

*She turned the computers on. It took a while to power up, but soon a database pops up listing several of the students at Shokushu, many from Dawn's class. It wasn't that thorough of a database, listing age, eye color, hair color, extracurricular activities, date of birth, but yes...it was a start.

Cangelosi chittered, eyes glowing from under the computer desk as Camryn typed away, a tentacle giving a stroke to her kneecap, starting to sneakily wrap about her leg as she was absorbed in the information.*

I still don't get why there is a records room here. None of these records are helping. It shows names, students that were in Dawn's class. That doesn't help, especially the fact that I have no clue what I can do with the information. As far as I know, all of these students are gone now, every time I try to look at some where regarding where they went, it shows a big blank. No information at all... Something was wrong here though. it feels like, something was trying to draw my attention away from something that was suppose to be very obvious. I should stop searching on the computer and leave...something...is off.

*Camryn's thoughts are cut violently short as Cangelosi's tendril secures her leg, yanking her roughly from the chair, rolling her onto her stomach, dragging her slowly under the desk. No need to draw this out longer than it should be. The girl's curiosity is, after all, probably going to be her undoing. Black gooiness snaps about her feet, taking a strong hold to the girl's legs.*

"What the f#@!?" Was about all I can come up with. I was afraid of this happening eventually, I did witness it first hand when I arrived, I tried to think it was just my imagination, but obviously not. I tried my best to free myself, but my legs were tied up. It was a substance I am not familiar with, I tried to hit it with my fist, but the damn desk was in the way. This is probably the worst spot I can be in, completely caught off guard. I know for a fact if this...thing hit me straight on, I would have been able to defend myself, but I am in an apparent records office with no moving room.

"LET ME GO!" I decided to try and throw the table down on whatever was there on the floor, in an attempt to stop this.

*The blob flopped Camryn onto her stomach, trying to minimize any sort of counterattacks she can muster as the tentacles felt like whips along her back, grabbing at her blazer, yanking it down part way. Probably it was hoping that would check the mobility of her arms as the table smashed down against the two struggling beings. Cangly gave a squeal, but wouldn't let go. The yellowish eyestalks glared down at her. "Oh, see LOOK what a mess you made! Principal ain't gonna like THIS..."*

Probably should have figured out something was wrong. This school is just full of surprises. This, place basically just neutralized my moving room, not to mention, I am, well tied down now and I can't do much about it. Whatever he has me with is hard as hell to break out of. It's not easy to break out of, well things your not too sure what they are made out of exactly. "LET GO OF ME! I'll fucking break you in half!" I can only keep trying to do my best to break out of it, I guess my best chance now is to break the table. Or keep trying to break the table some how...
