Transcript

waist length platinum hair with a purple streak. She had purple eyes and pale skin. She wears a, black fishnet gloves over red lace gloves one black choker around her neck with a long black crescent moon necklace, black see-thru thigh length stockings and black combat boots with red laces. She looking at a sheet of paper in front of her and on the paper, it has the letter F on it.

Cindy Grimwood:(silently grumbles) An F...Figures.

The person next to her is a girl with strawberry red hair cut into a bob and long bangs that reaches her chin, covering the right side of her face. She had brown eyes. and a slightly tan skin. She wears a yellow hoodie T-Shirt, and baggy blue jean shorts with white sneakers. She leaned over and grinned slyly.

Kari:(whispers)I fucking told you not to watch that anime marathon last night. But no... You had to discard my fucking warning and watch it anyway.

Cindy Grimwood:(whispers bitterly)Keep talking Kari. Just keep on talking.

Mr.DeMario:I'd just like to say that never in my life have i seen better test scores. (his cheery round face suddenly curled into a slight frown) Despite the fact that some of you, whom shall remain unnamed, failed miserably. I want you all to know that i'm very pleased right now with your progress.

Cindy rolled her eyes and chuckled lightly.

Mr. DeMario:(grumbles)Something humorous, Ms. Grimwood?

Cindy Grimwood: No sir, Mr.D!

Mr.DeMario:I want to see you after class, Grimwood.

Cindy's cheeks flared bright pink in embarrassment as the whole class ,except Kari, snickered. Kari looked at her sadly and placed her hand on Cindy's shoulder. Cindy looks down at the 'F' on her test.

Cindy Grimwood:(mutters)Great. Just fucking great.

The bell finally rang and while the other students filed out through the door, Cindy sat motionlessly in her desk, not from one minute taking her eyes off the test in front of her.

Mr.DeMario:(shouted)What the hell is wrong with you?!

Cindy Grimwood:...

Mr.DeMario: (shouted)I asked you a fucking question, and dammit, i expect an honest fucking answer!

Cindy Grimwood:...

Mr. DeMario:(shouted)Look Cindy, i'm gonna be frank with you! You've completely failed History! You were given a three weeks notice before finals, which should have given you plenty of time to prepare! If you had actually studied the material for once, you might actually have gotten a somewhat decent grade!

Cindy Grimwood: I tried my best sir but-

Mr. DeMario:(yells) OH CUT THE BULL CRAP GRIMWOOD! YOU'RE JUST A GODDAMN SLACKER. AND IF YOU THINK THOSE PENCIL SCRATCHES YOU CALL DRAWINGS ARE GONNA GET YOU ANYWHERE IN LIFE, YOU'D BETTER LOOK IN TO GETTING A REALLY GOOD CAT-SCAN!

Cindy reach her hand down towards a thick sketch book, leaning against the side of her desk and gripped it protectively.

Cindy Grimwood: Can i go now, Mr. DeMario?

Mr.DeMario moved away from the desk, but kept his grayish eyes on Cindy.

Mr.DeMario:(mutters, making a dismissing gesture with his hand)Yeah, get the fuck out of here.

Slinging a heavy backpack over her shoulder, Cindy quickly vacated the class room and dashed out into the hallway. Meanwhile in the cafeteria...

Kari: So old Nazi-killer DeMario gave you the old speech again? (puts a spoon full of chili into her mouth and chewing it)What is that, six times this year?

Cindy Grimwood: But i'm not exactly sure.

Kari: Worried about what your grade's gonna be?

Cindy Grimwood: Not really.

Kari: Oh come on, You're not at least a bit worried about flunking? God knows i am.

Cindy Grimwood: The reason of why i don't worry is because i have a philosophy.

Kari: And that is?

Cindy Grimwood: Every little event has a purpose. And i feel that this failed history course is one of those little events.

Kari: So you're saying that no matter what happens in life, It all ends up being for the best? (Shia took a sip of her soda)I was right. That Voltaire really does mess around with the old noggin. What's that?

Cindy Grimwood: Yeah. I'm starting to think that it's either byproducts of some drug test that my grandmother volunteered me for while i was asleep or just the result of living a fifteen hour day schedule. I'm slowly leaning towards the neutral between the two.

Kari: Sometimes i wonder how you manage to live with your grandmother slash guardian and still think the way you do.

Cindy Grimwood: Maybe i'm just...

Caitlin Blake: Hey, Grimwood! I thought i told you that Ronnie Taylor was off limits to fuckers like you.

Cindy Grimwood: Must have slipped my mind, Caitlin Blake.

Caitlin looked at the drawing and smirked.

Caitlin Blake: This is pretty good Grimwood. (looked at Cindy with an evil grin) But you know what it needs?

Caitlin picked up Kari's bowl of half eaten chili and tipped it to the side. The chili oozed onto the sketch book, covering the unfinished sketch in greasy, red mush. She then closed the book, drooped it to the white tile floor and stomped on it with her foot.

Caitlin Blake:There, I think you owe me a little gratitude, Grimwood. (harshly) Oh and stay your fucking ass away from my boyfriend!(walks away)

Cindy could only stare at the sloppy mess on the floor in shock as she heard the entire cafeteria erupted in snickers and giggles.Kari placed a hand on her friend's shoulder and looked down at the mess she was holding.

Kari: How bad is it?

Cindy glanced over at Kari then back at her sketch book. With one swift movement, she tossed the bundle of chili covered paper into the nearest trash can.

Cindy Grimwood: Does that answer your question, Kari?

Kari: Look, you can't let it get to you Cindy. I know you, you'll probably have another book halfway filled up by the end of the week.

Cindy Grimwood: You just don't get it, do you.

Kari: Get what?

Cindy Grimwood: The book's just a piece of it. You're right, I probably could fill up a new one in a week.

Cindy Grimwood: That was just weird

Kari: C'mon Cindy, wake up! Don't make me pour ice water on your head again like last time.

Cindy Grimwood: Okay, okay, just get the fuck out of my room so i can get ready.

Kari playfully stuck her tongue out as she left

Kari: It's October 31st and there's something that i needed to show you.

Cindy Grimwood:...Really...?

Kari: Shit! No, no, no!

Man:Isn't it past your bedtime, babe? Didn't your mommy and daddy ever tell you not to go into the tunnel? If you keep struggling, I might just have to tie you down.

Kari's eyes widened and attempted to free herself from his grip. She raised her left foot and kicking it back, hitting the man in the groin. He pulled back, groaning in pain as he had finally allowed her to escape. Kari ran away and didn't look back.

Cindy Grimwood: (mentally) Don't worry Cindy, i'll get Nathan or Jasmine, they can help in getting you outta here.

Cindy Grimwood: Ugh! Son of a bitch!

Oh great! This is just fucking great! Who was i thinking? Climbing out of here; You'd need a damn rope or a fucking ladder.

As the mist grew thicker, the more it looks like an endless void. Cindy closed her eyes and counted to three.

Cindy Grimwood: 1...2...3... (opened her eyes and the mist still remained) C'mon. (closes her eyes and counted to five) 1...2...3...4...5... (opened her eyes, nothing had changed)

Mysterious Stranger:(in a deep yet hollow tone)You are afraid.

Cindy Grimwood:...I...d-d...

Mysterious Stranger:You would be a fool if you weren't.

Cindy Grimwood: W-who...are...y-you?

Mysterious Stranger:A foe of those who would gorge themselves of humanity.

Cindy Grimwood:...W-why are you doing here?

Mysterious Stranger:You do not know.

Cindy Grimwood:...What?

Mysterious Stranger:In your world, it is the Eve of Hallows, is it not?(Cindy slowly nodded) It is a strong day for magic. The layers have all but aligned on this day. The veil between layers, easy for those who have the means to influence the happenings.

Cindy Grimwood:...Magic isn't real.

Mysterious Stranger:You do not know.

Cindy Grimwood:...Know...what?

Mysterious Stranger:Of your destiny. Of the power that you truly possess. Of those who wish you harm.

Cindy Grimwood:...You-you're wrong. I'm just...Cindy. I'm not special. I don't have magic and i don't have enemies. I'm...just-

Mysterious Stranger:(cryptically)They know.

Cindy Grimwood: Wha? Who-? (The Mysterious Stranger had grabbed her and pulled her up onto the horse) Hey!(The Mysterious Stranger urged his horse onwards)Stop!

Mysterious Stranger:That would be unwise, Your destiny lies not with them.

Cindy Grimwood: Who?!

Suddenly, the mist had begun to fade, leaving only darkness, but in that darkness, a voice came.

Voice#1:You would interfere? In this world?

Voice#2:And we thought it wasn't in your nature to do so. You know the law of causality, your majesty. And this young girl has such a colorful destiny indeed.

Voice#3:You think we would offer her to become one of us?

Voice#1:It is not her destiny to do so. That lies to another.

Mysterious Stranger:And yet your presence is felt here.

The Mysterious Stranger swung his sword down and Cindy closed her eyes to the sudden glow out.

Voice#3:Destiny cannot be stopped. It is, some transcendental entity that governs all.

Mysterious Stranger:Then you should know that this one's fate is set as it is.(spurred his horse forward to where he had cut with his sword)
