Name: Cordelia Redell
Age: Seventeen.
Discription/pic: She's short, about 5'4", and she's a soft girl, a little on the doughy side, but still pretty behind her frizzy black hair and glasses. She never cared to dress in the latest fashions, and she never wears makeup more than a little mascara. Most people write her off as a geek, but she has a lot more going for her than that, and is very strong.
Bio: She was the typical science geek, who never had a date in high school, but she was more comfortable with her nose buried in a book than anywhere else. She lives with her parents and her sister, and is a very family oriented girl; her little sister, age fourteen, is her world. She comes from a wealthy family.
Crime: Unjustified murder.
Cordelia frowned, having walked into her sister's bedroom to find her crying. She rushed to the bed, arms suddenly full of a girl who had ceased to be smaller than her on self. "Jaqui, darling, please don't cry. Tell me what's wrong, baby, I'll go fix it." To Cordelia, seeing her younger sister in such a sad state was the worst thing in the world.
Anger flooded her vision, tinting the world red. The blonde haired bitch in front of her smiled, taunting. Cordelia was furious. How dare she hurt her family, she would pay.
The face of the younger girl was bruised, swollen, and streaked with a mixture of tears and blood. There were deep scratches running down one side. Cordelia gasped, causing a fresh wave of sobs from the younger child. "Baby girl, tell me who did this to you! I wont let them get away with it."
The blonde girl was standing there, towering over her, but Cordelia would not back down. She stepped closer, pushing the girl, hard. "You hurt my sister. What gives you the right?"
Something to do with a boy Jaquelinn was friends with, the boyfriend of one of the girls Cordelia had classes with. Apparently, Jaqui had asked if the rumors were true, and the boyfriend got mad and jumped ship. Of course, this didn't warrant the beat down the younger girl had gotten.
"I can't believe you would hurt my sister because of some boy, she didn't do anything! Stop. Don't you walk away from me!"
Cordelia grabbed the hand of the girl as she tried to walk away, tugging on the back of the sweatshirt. The girl had whipped around, claws outstretched. That made Cordelia more angry than before.
She jumped on her, knocking the blonde girl into the grass and pinning her down. The red had completely engulfed Cordelia's vision by then and she hadn't even heard the soft crunch as blonde hair slid over a rock.
Later, police reports would say the girl had been murdered. The unborn baby was just a tragic casualty nobody had even bothered to mention.
Cordelia came to, unable to recognize her surroundings. She could have sworn she was at home, but this looked nothing like it. She was staring up at scene that made no sense to her, it was almost like she was outside, but hadn't she been in her sister's bedroom a few moments ago? She blinked; if she was still home, the ceiling was gone. And the walls. And where was the plush white carpet her mother loved so much? She felt grass underneath her bare arms. There was something she needed to remember, but she couldn't.
She rolled to her feet and groaned as blood accosted her sense of smell, her stomach suddenly upset as she looked around for the source. She noticed a girl nearby, kneeling on the ground. It sounded like she was sobbing, but the sound was soft. So, slowly, she inched closer, the girl partially hidden by some foliage. Cordelia took not of the curly black hair, the pale skin; she suddenly blanched as she called out, her arms reaching forward, closing the gap to her sister.
"Jaquelinn, Jaquelinn what's wrong?"
"You don't remember, do you? Well if you can't remember you obviously don't care!"
"Sweetie what happened. You know I'll help you, I always do. Tell me, okay?"
Cordelia was scared, her fingers now inches away from her sister's shoulder. Suddenly, the girl jumped up and away briefly turning her gorgeous, curly head towards the older girl.
"I can't!" she shouted, and Cordeilia stumbled; Where there had been a pretty face that morning at breakfast, Cordelia now saw a torn, bloody mess.
She shrieked and Jaquelinn ran, scrambling in the dirt as her sister shouted after her. Cordlia's face filled with tears as she ran after her, crying for her to wait.
If I could just get her to a doctor she thought, mind racing. They can fix it, it's not bad, she's young, she can heal just fine!
"Jaquelinn, wait!"
Cordelia's cry rang out across a nearly empty street as she turned a corner. Jaquelinn was no where to be seen.
She sank to the ground, out of breath and sobbing now, not caring about the two strangers in the grass nearby.

I hope you know, our one night of irresponsibility and horrible cliches and shirking our duties, that was the most fun I've had in years.
