Ari was in her classroom like a girl in a jail cell. She didn't do something wrong. She didn't deserve to be there.
She was working hard on an essay when she heard a noise like a whip cracking on a brick wall. Startled, she turned around to see a girl in the back of the room had been hit in the back with a wooden spoon. The girl was trying not to cry. Ari felt sorry for her.33Please respect copyright.PENANAUTeDGDCUp7
"That," said the professor, "is how you are treated when you don't follow directions. Continue your work."33Please respect copyright.PENANANzeQSZziAZ
Ari didn't want to get hurt because she broke the rules. But she didn't want to see anybody else get hurt, either.
She raised her hand, like she did in public school. The other girls stared at her in shock. To think she would actually be brave enough to raise her hand, Devyn thought. She is so new here.
"Yes?" the professor said slowly. All the other girls held their breath.
"I was just wondering if I could use the restroom real quick," Ari said. "If you don't mind, of course."
All the girls let out a deep exhale of relief. "Yes," the professor said. "Yes, you may. Hurry back."
"Yes, ma'am." Ari hurried out the door of the classroom. She headed to the bathroom, but made a wrong turn.
Of course, this was on accident. Ari was new at this school and still didn't know her way around the place. She stumbled upon many doors, but didn't know where they went. Surely they didn't go to the restroom, they were much too secretive.
She ended up in a large board room. It was empty, and she didn't know how she got there. There was a large file on the desk and she couldn't help but open it.
It read:
December 14th 195533Please respect copyright.PENANAbINiMZZJ4b
The power source was in the basement. No one was there, so I went for it. Now I'm stuck with these abilities I just can't explain. I only have 5 more days to live and no one will help me. If you are reading this, don't touch the power source! You will die.33Please respect copyright.PENANAt4Y3UtCgwQ
Ari found pictures of a large, purple power source inside of a basement. 33Please respect copyright.PENANA2B2uNwsR8A
She gasped; the basement was inside the school.33Please respect copyright.PENANADO51SwV0wZ
The power source was inside the school.
She headed back to class, shaking. A dangerous item capable of slowly killing people was inside the school.
Ari had to do something about it.
