Boris Faber's Story

Adderyn and Boris got out of the yellow cab and were greeted by a few buildings. Adderyn got out first, and made her way to the car's trunk. She pulled out two large suitcases, and two duffel bags. Looking up from the luggage, she tried to get a better look at her new school, Greenfield Academy. Ryn smilied. In her head she played out the different scenes that she thought were going to happen throughout her last year of highschool. Getting her first boyfriend, winning academic awards, hosting a-
"My butt hurts!" Boris announced, cutting through his older sister's thought. They had been sitting in the cab for three hours, not to mention the twelve hour train trip before. He frowned and rubbed his behind. Ryn threw his part of the luggage at him, causing him to step back. She slammed the door down, making a loud thud, and then threw a handful of money through the window at the driver. Boris made a face at her, but simply picked up his luggage.
Adderyn made her way to the dorm building, Boris following her. When they walked through the door, they saw a handful of other kids looking up their room. So they just did what the others did. The two Faber children spotted their names on the list almost immediatly. Simutaneously they told eachother their room numbers,"301","303". They smilied, both relieved they were somewhat close to eachother. Setting her stuff down, Ryn walked to the front desk and retrieved the room keys. She picked up her black bags, and held the keys in her mouth.
They walked down the hallway, the younger Faber calling out the room numbers and kicking at the doors as they passed them. When they reached 301, Adderyn's room, she spit Boris' key at him, which he caught in his hand. As he left her, Ryn opened the door to her new room. She noticied her roommate had already made it in, so Ryn walked over to the other, empty bed. Dropping her stuff on the floor, she collapsed onto the bed.
Boris had to only walk a couple feet before he found the door with a small plaque that read 303. When he opened the door, he saw his roommates belongings on one of the beds, so he took the other one opposite of it. Dumping his stuff on his bed, he got to "marking his territory". He blew on his finger which caused a small flame to appear, and wrote in straight capital letters, FABER, on the end of the bed.

"Well, at first I was getting your attention. But once I started rolling out the ice-cube jokes, it was hard to quit. And Three Days Grace is just my warm-up music now. I still haven't found another band, so I just play to make sure I still know how." Chris caught a smile as he noticed his friend wearing the same trench coat that he had for the longest time. Not that Chris didn't like it, he was honestly a little jealous of it. It was lightweight, which gave it that perfect sway in the wind, but it was still thick enough to serve a purpose.

Chris was letting his thoughts drift too much, Walker had asked him a question. "Yea life's been pretty good I guess, I've been with my family. Even got a summer job, which didn't last too long. Apparently freezing the cash register at night so no one could get into it is against policy." Chris laughed after he said this, and noticed a little kid pass them and go into his room. "There's my roomate, I guess. Hate to leave you, man, but I gotta see the new blood. You know how it is." He turned to enter his room. "Oh, if you see Ryan tell him if he's interested in joining a band, I'm up for it," Chris called back to Walker as he entered his room.

Chris walked into his room, and saw some little kid writing his name on the bed...with his finger. "Umm, you must be Boris, right?"

Upon hearing another person entering the room, Boris looked up. A boy, obviously, older than him was watching him as he finished up writing his lastname in the wood. Shaking his finger a few times, he extinguished the flame. "The one and only! You must be...."Boris' smile turned into a frown when he didn't know the name of who he guessed was his roommate. He hadn't bothered looking at the name next to his on the room listings.
As he waited for the other boy to say his name he felt a chill crawl up his spine. He pulled his black jacket closer to his body.
"Brr,"Boris said as he seached for the room's thermostat. When he found it he walked over to it, and changed the temperature from 75 to 93 degrees, "That's better." He let go of his jacket, and returned back to his bed.

Adderyn sat up from the bed. I should probably get started on unpacking. Placing her suitcase on the bed, she unzipped it and pulled out clothes. As she organized her clothes she remembered her rommate. She scanned the room, spotting a girl she said,"Hello! I'm Adderyn Faber....but you can call me Ryn, everyone does." Her welsh accent got the best of her, all of her vowels elongated and her r's tapped.

"My name's Chris. And you seem to be able to manipulate fire. Oh, Headmaster, why must you tempt me so?" He asked himself as he turned the temperature down to 78. He saw the look on Boris' face when he did this, so Chris added, jokingly, "If you turn this up 1 degree, I'm gonna put you in cryogenic stasis. I don't mind it being warm, but I don't tolerate it that hot, ok?"

Chris then turned and picked up his guitar and began putting it back into it's case. "In case you haven't figured out by now I control ice. Which makes our powers completely reverse one another. But I see you're new here, so I'll go easier on you. That's why I turned the temperature down to 79, instead of 30-something. So," Chris said as he turned around and extended his hand, "Let's make this a fun year."

"Oh, a fiesty one, eh?" Chris said with a smile. "Alright, have it your way. But if we don't compromise by the end of the week, I'm gonna declare a dorm-wide prank war. Trust me, you don't wanna mess with the master." Chris went into the bathroom, changed into his usual long-sleeve dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up. Got his suit pants on, chained his wallet, and walked back into the room. As he turned to leave, Chris added, "Keep in mind that I have a few allies here at the school." Chris then left his room, and walked out of the dorms to go back to main office. He was getting his schedule.

A black and gauzy ribbon-like line was swooping around the hallway walls. It was growing and disappearing at the same time. Suddenly, the whole floor got pitch black. The blackness shattered in pieces, which violently started moving around the hallway, to the stairs and most likely - to the other floors.

Each of the pieces invaded the mind of every single living creature in the dorm building. It attacked their five senses, sped up the pulse and breathing of most of them, and started fighting with their psyche. Some could barely feel it, although they were affected enough to notice it.

"What was that?" Togame thought.

Others almost got a mental breakdown, as both their organs and mind state were struggling with darkness.

Sora collapsed on her knees, holding her head, screaming for help. Her thoughts were rushing and fighting, her heart was pounding. She went silent and started breathing heavily.

It affected each of them differently. However, everyone now knew something was wrong.
