Elisa and Joseph followed Barbara through the courtyard and into the main building, which was three storeys tall and about the size of a football stadium (description not accurate, and akin to exaggeration). It was shaped like a rectangular capital A; the entrance to the building was located at what would be the horizon bar of the letter, extending out from the middle by a few metres. After pushing through the double doors, they were finally in. The inside was a large corridor that was mostly empty, save for a small row of lockers on one wall and a small storage room at the end of the corridor on their left. After exiting the corridor from the right side, they began to explore the entirety of the school, with Barbara as their guide. She explained everything to them as they went, talking about class schedules and so on. "All the classrooms are located here on the ground floor, along with clubrooms, common rooms, the teachers' lounge, the studies for upper classmen, and the main office

The next day, Elisa and Joseph got up during the early morning, a few minutes before the morning bell. They were both early risers back at home, and even now, it would seem that hasn't changed. Elisa looked around the dormitory, taking it all in. Last night, she had all the girls in here. She couldn't remember all of them, since they had just met (and last night was pretty hectic), but she did remember that most of them were pretty lively. Well, she thought, I'll be getting to know exactly what kind of people they are starting today. Today's my first class I Eastwood Academy. I'm going to meet everybody properly now, all the students, teachers, staff, and I'll learn how this place works, the schedules, everything. After the next few days, I'll have all the information I need to start my plan. She thought nothing of the dream she had last night as she waited for the morning bell, since it was so brief and unclear. Also because she forgot all about it. Instead, her desire to understan

Fire. There was fire everywhere. Smoke was rising in great magnitude, covering the sky. Ashes rose from the quaking ground, causing the little girl to stumble and cough. She could barely see three feet in front of her, the haze from the smoke and ash stinging her eyes and clouding her vision. Her ears worked though, and she could clearly hear the roars that accompanied the quakes. These weren't the sounds of the earth; they were the sounds of monsters that were on the hunt. For her. There appeared to be five of them, based on the different roars, all scattered. Although there might have been just one or two, and the rest were either a trick of the land or just her imagination. She tried to move in what she though was the opposite direction from the roars, but with all this smoke and fire, she couldn't tell up from down, left from right! Everything was spinning. Try as she might, she couldn't move an inch. She was far too disoriented. BOOM!!! A great eruption sounded near her

Sunday. At last. Elisa woke up to a glorious morning, with sunlight pouring in through the windows. She got up from bed, early as always. She did a little stretching before sitting down on her bed, waiting for the morning bell. She didn't have long to wait.Five minutes later, the bell rang. Everyone started getting up. It was the usual morning routine, only they didn't have to worry about classes for the day, since there weren't any. Today was another glorious day where they could sit back and relax, or perhaps take part in sports and activities for their leisure, or maybe go spend some time in the town. The children of Eastwood Academy were allowed to go to the town during the weekend, provided they asked their form teacher and got permission to do so. They could spend their time there in anyway they liked, like eating in a cafe, or buying a few accessories from one of the shops. However, students were required to travel in a group, with the lowest number being two, unless they wer

Elisa woke up to find herself in a strange place. She was lying on her back, looking up at a clear blue sky with a bright sun beaming down at her. When she got up, she realised that she was in some sort of flowery meadow, with a tall, swirling structure a few metres away on her left. The meadow seemed to go on for miles and miles, covered in tall grass and a variety of different flowers; sunflowers, roses, poppies, daisies, tulips, daffodils, marigolds, lilies, buttercups, bluebells, etc. Looking ahead of her, she could see that far off into the distance, the meadow slowly turned into a hilly landscape. There was a small cluster of trees, about six hundred metres behind her, all small and oddly shaped. Other than that, all she could see around her was just the flat, flowery meadow, with a few more of those tall swirling structures scattered across the land, each within an estimated eight hundred metre distance from each other (that's a ten minute walk). After analysing her surroundi
