"And here's the key, Ayame." The staff member said cordially, as he left me alone in the room. I set my "weapon filled" duffle down on my desk with a small clank. The rest of my bags sat in the hall way, though they were only filled with clothes and other living necessities, things that I could probably replace if taken.

The room was small. The bed was against the wall, underneath the window, a potential entry point, i noted. The desk was next to the closet, a potential place for an intruder to wait in ambush. At least the room was well lit, and the walls were white. The increased light would make it more difficult for an attacker to conceal themselves.

After a quick glance around the room, I decided to move my bed as far away from the window as I could. In an attack at night, I would need I would need as much time to react as possible, and the windows and doors were the obvious entry points. I could move the desk afterward. I wedged myself between the bed and the wall, planting my white k-swiss sneakers on the wall, and pushing hard with my back against the bed.

"Wow--, This--Bed--Is--HEAVY!" I said, empasizing "heavy" as the bed finally creaked to move. Little by little, I extended my body, until the bed was about 4 feet from the wall. I was surprised by the amount of effort it had taken to move the bed (especially for someone like me). Deciding i would need help to move the bed any further, I straightened up, pulling one of the straps of my white spaghetti strap tank top back onto my shoulders, and brushing the dust off of my blue jean shorts.

I walked down the all wearing a black t-shirt and a a long black skirt with a slit on each side showing my shapely legs and with flip flops I was sent by the staff to great the a new student to the school I was always happy to welcome a new student and try my best to make her feel at home and maybe to warn her about what goes on here I looked at the paper and nod



"yup this is it." I say before knocking on the door "hello may I come in?"

Before answering the door, I tried to scan the approaching girl's intentions, searching for evil, but my senses seemed cloudy. Still, the foreboding feeling neither waxed nor waned as the girl approached, so I determined she too was an innocent student at the school.

"Come on in!" I said brightly. as I brushed the last bits of dust out of my mouse brown hair.

I smiled and open the door and smiled "um hi im Kim the staff sent me here to welcome you to the school and to see if everything is alright." I say with a smile as I looked at her form head to toe.

"she's soooo cute.." I thought to my self as I grin at her "I hope you are finding everything well here so far." I say while looking around and then at her bags "is that all the stuff you brought with you?"

If the staff sent her, I wasn't sure she could be trusted. As she introduced herself, she eyed me, and I wondered if she was sizing me up.

"My name's Ayame." I said, "and yes, this is all my stuff... I don't require much too much. Just the necessities."

I pulled all of the bags into the room, the slenderness of my body betraying its strength.

"Thanks for stopping buy, but I think i'm good. I checked out the bathroom down the hall, and saw the cafeteria on the way into the building." I said, forgetting the bed in the middle of the room.

Her slight build wasn't intimidating. If i were in any real danger, they would have sent someone else. There wasn't really any threat.

"er, though actually, there is one thing I could use some help with. I was trying to rearrange the room, but the bed's a little too heavy. would you mind giving me a hand?"

I smiled "sure I would love to." I say with a nod as I look at the bed I still kept looking at her tho only because of how cute she was as I grin "so... where do you want it to go?"

back in that corner is fine. I said, pointing to the corner opposite both the door and window. we positioned ourselves on opposite ends of the side of the bed, and once ready, i said, ready... push!

I thrust my weight into the bed, using my slender legs to drive into the furniture. Little by little, the bed inched closer to the wall. I was surprised that the girl wasn't having more trouble getting her side to move. She was as strong as I was. The bed inched forward until finally, the it hit the wall with a dull "thunk."

thanks so much, I couldn't have done that without you. I panted, slumped against the wall, wiping sweat and bangs out of my eyes.

I sigh and slump against the wall with her and panted softly "man guess all that training did pay off in the end." I say with a soft giggle "so I guess im your first friend then well if you want to be friends anyway its always good to have friends in a place like this." I say with a nod

Having been deprived from a social life for most of my life, it was hard to resist someone offering a friendship so readily. But I had to be honest. People like myself don't get to have friends. Friends of people like me just end up getting hurt.

Still, here the offer was. And to be honest, in a place like this, with this much evil, she might be safer with me than anywhere else.

"yeah, I guess you're my first friend" I replied with a smile.

Next, I yanked the desk away from the closet, and set it at the foot of the bed, the duffle still sitting on top.

anything else I need to know about the dorms?

I smiled and nod "a few things first some of the girls here are a little bit to friendly if you know what I mean don't worry tho they won't hurt you and you can trust them with your life for that im sure." I say with a grin "also there is one more thing you should know...."

I gulp hoping she would believe me if didn't that would be fine too as I looked at her "believe it or not there are monsters that roam around this campus looking to fuck the students you can't trust the teachers or the staff in this place.."

I was appalled, not surprised by the news she had given me, but appalled that this was the reason for all the evil. It was obvious Kim was surprised by my lack of reaction, so I said, "I knew something was wrong with this place, the minute i stepped off the plane."

Still, i didn't want to reveal my secrets to her just yet. Trustworthy or not, other people knowing my secret would just be a liability.

"But, why haven't the students done anything about it? Certainly someone's told the police, the government, anyone!"

I began to realize, that if the entire student body was being terrorized and controlled, the upcoming trials would be beyond anything i had ever experienced.

I sighed and closed my eyes "well you see that's the problem we're not near the cops nor the government heck we're not even on earth..." I looked out the window and then at her "we're on another planet a planet with monsters and some evil lab that well I have no idea what they do but I hared stories about it that's for sure.."

I just shivered at the thought "we all tried to stand up to them even my sister tried but we failed.."

well, even If we're trapped. Even if you've tried and failed before, we've got to keep fighting. I tried to inspire her.

Even if everything is lost, I'd rather go down fighting than give in and submit to them! They cannot be all powerful. Someone out there has to have the power to stop them. Why can't it be us?

I looked at her frown "I kind of want to give up but my sister is the only one that's keeping me form giving in I lost alot of my old friends here Carman Kate Relm... Kirika... the only ones I have left now are Madison Dawn and Sondra but even Madison some times ends up missing.. I don't know if I can take this anymore.."

"don't you dare give up on me Kim..."

my eyes widen as I hared Evy's voice in my head and then looked down sadly

The sadness this girl felt was overwhelming. A dam broke in my heart, and I abandoned all inhibitions. I reached out and held Kim close, hugging her, trying to comfort her through touch in a way words could not. Still, I whispered in her ear, "we'll get them back. trust me. we'll get them back. They'll rue the day they lured us here.
