Dear plant with an appetite for living insect flesh,
I woke up this morning with the funny feeling that something weird was going to happen. Does that ever happen to you? Do you ever feel weird premonitions as soon as you hop out of bed. Do you just get up saying things like "You know, it seems like this is going to be a freaky accident kind of day."? Wait, why am I talking to you? You're a plant. Plants don't speak. Silly me.
Anyway, I went to this really boring class this morning (it was called 'History'. Now, does anyone remember the last time I ever mentioned history class? If I recall rightly, it was the day that I saw Serena hook up with Raven and I used my history test as a tissue to absorb my salty misery. Yeah. that was it. Oh, those were the good old days, weren't they?)
Oh, wait. Sorry, I kind of got sidetracked by a sudden, unexpected wave of nostalgia. Where was I? History! Right! Anyway, I was bored out of my mind when I started talking to this girl:
Lune:
Hey! I'm Ka- Sora! -Sora (I really can't get over this whole new name thing)I'm Lune. -LuneOoooh. Lune. That's a pretty name! -SoraThanks! Wait... you're new here, aren't you? -LuneYeah. How'd you know? -SoraBecause you're one of the few people I've talked to who hasn't called me 'Loonie Lune'. It's ridiculous! -LuneWow. That sucks! -SoraActually, it's not too bad. See, I have this great way of dealing with haters. -LuneReally, how? -SoraAt about that moment, some random kid called out across the room.
HEY, LOONIE LUNE! THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOUR FACE! -Random kid (Wow, that was PERFECT timing. It's such a coincidence that my rational mind says 'this totally wasn't a coincidence'.)
Actually, I have to kindly disagree. I really like my face. -LuneYEAH! WELL I DON'T! -Random kid
Well, I like my face, and that's all that matters. -LuneBUT I SAID THAT I DON'T LIKE IT! -Random kid
It's not your face. It's not your problem. -LuneYEAH, BUT!
Shhhhh. *whispers* Not your problem o.o -LuneI had to fight down the urge to applaud her.
Bravo! You see, I never would've dealt with him that way! The last time I dealt with a bully I destroyed her plot to rule the world and she ran away in tears. It was effective, but crude. I like your method. It hurts less feelings. -SoraHey, there's something to be said for making your enemies cry. I just don't like to do that to other people. -LuneAnd I respect that. Now, you want to go grab some lunch? -SoraLunch? Class started ten minutes ago and we don't have lunch for another two hours. -LuneThat was the point where I dragged her out to the empty cafeteria, because no one who writes a diary actually GOES TO CLASS. In fact, WHO DOES THAT NOWADAYS, ANYWAY? With technology slowly taking over the world, we're soon be entirely cyberschooling and being anti-social behind our computer screens anyway. All sense of school culture (and maybe just culture, period) will be lost before the end of the century anyway, so what does it matter if I skip a few here and there?
So, we got there and we were the only ones in the cafeteria except for, of course, THE POPULAR KIDS! Ewww. I hate those people. Delphinium and Misty and some girl I've never seen before were eating salads and discussing the pros of doing morning yoga. GAH! The gall of these people! How dare they skip our on class! What? Do they think that they can just waltz out whenever they want?! EDUCATION IS IMPORTANT, PEOPLE! NEWSFLASH: SMART PEOPLE RULE THE WORLD!

^^That's the girl with Delphinium and Misty that I'd never seen before. when I asked, Lune said.
Oh! That's Arcandia! She's pretty well known around here, I'm surprised you didn't hear about her before. -LuneTell me, does she look like she's harboring evil secrets or plotting to rule the world? -SoraArcandia? No way! She's always been as nice as can be, especially for being as popular as she is! I hear that at other schools, popular people can get pretty snobby just because people like them. -LuneYeah. we call that the 'enlargement of the ego'. -Sora Well, that would never happen to Arcandia. Now, I'm sorry Sora, but I have to go to class. Education is important. -LuneEducation is important? What shade of crazy IS this woman? Nonetheless, I bid her good day and figure that I should probably go back to my own class. I did, actually. I went to class for the rest of the day without incident. It wasn't until I went back to my room that things got strange.
As soon as I walked in the door, someone threw a bag over my head. Now, being a girl of many near death experiences: almost being hit by a semi truck, having people break into my house to 'maim' me, and having my new room mate come after me with a toothbrush, I'm well experienced in this department. So, I did what any 'smart' heroine would do: NOTHING AT ALL.
You're coming with us. -???Oh. Okay! C: -SoraWait, that's it? No struggling? No screaming? Just 'okay'? -???Don't question it. Let's just beat her over the head with a table lamp, stuff her in the burlap sack, and be on with our day. -???Wait, I don't think I'm okay with the table lamp and burlap sack plan, it sound almost like I'm in danger-And then everything went black.
I woke up in a dark basement with a candle in my lap and a headache like you wouldn't believe. I rubbed my head, wondering 'Hey, what happened to my head?'. Then I had a revealing flashback of everything that happened, walking my room, the kidnappers, the table lamp.
Oh, yeah. Is now a good time to panic?
Before I could have an all out panic attack, some mysterious voices sounded in the dark.
Sora. You have been brought here to be part of an old, traditional ceremony. Do you have any objections? -???*rubs head* Only if it involves another table lamp. those things HURT! -SoraAre you sure she's cut out for this? She doesn't seem like SSD material to me. -???Yeah. She seems a bit dense to me. -???Guys, be nice. In her defense, she DID just get clonked on the head pretty hard. -??? Hey, I've got a first aid kit if she needs it. -???You can play doctor later. For now, we've got a ceremony to conduct. -???Again, what kind of ceremony is this? -SoraThis is a ceremony that, if you proceed can never be undone. -???Oh my god! You're gonna cut off my wings, aren't you? DON'T! I've only had these babies of THREE DAYS! -???No! We're not gonna cut off your wings! We aren't crazy! -???Then what am I doing in a dark basement with a candle? -SoraWe want to make you part of our organization: the Secret Sisters of the Dawn. -???Newsflash to people who don't already know: I have my own organization back at normal school. The OUTCASTS! But then again.... I'm not at normal school any more.
And what is the point of this organization? -???Uhhh.... you know, that's a good question. But it's a question for later... Look, we're the weirdoes of fallen angel society. We have to stick together. -???Losers of angel society? those words were music to my ears. These were DEFINITELY my kind of people.
Sure, make me part of your crazy cult thingy. -SoraIT IS NOT A CULT! Anyway, to complete the ceremony, blow out your candle. -???Wow, this is easier than finding old people at a bingo game. *blows out candle* -SoraExcellent. Now sit beside me and join the circle. One by one we will all light our candles until you know who all of the Sisters. -???I followed her orders, moving toward the sound of her voice until I almost tripped over her where she was sitting, but two people moved over so I could sit in the circle. Once I was seated, they started.
I am Divinity the brazen, leader of the Sisters. I'll admit, I can be a bit cold at times. -DivinityMackenzie:
I am Mackenzie the adventurous. Not that I care what you think about that. -MackenzieLolita:
I am Lolita the sarcastic, and yes, I really like pink. Hope it's not a problem. -LolitaChoco:
I am Choco the sweet. And I do realize that it's extremely ironic because of my fondness for candy. -Choco Verity:
I am Verity the smart, and I'm proud to admit that I know the first one hundred twenty digits of pi. -VerityJess:
I am Jessy the kind... are we really required to say more than that? -Jess Ahi:
I am Ahi the proud. Before you ask, my name means FIRE, not anything else. FIRE. Emphasis on the FIRE part. -AhiShadowStorm:
I am ShadowStorm the secretive. I don't live in a cave... yet. -ShadowStorm Goldenheart:
I am Goldenheart the graceful. I am probably the most elegant person in this room. -GoldenheartNikita:
I am Nikita the warm hearted. It's not entirely true, I mean, I'm rude to ruder people. -Nikita (Princess) Arcandia:
I am Arcandia the enigmatic. I'm kind of popular, which makes it kind of weird to be here but... I don't know. I'm here. -ArcandiaLeliana:
I am Leliana the sly. I swear that I probably haven't killed anyone... within the past six months. -Leliana Violet:
I am Violet the energetic! Do you really need to know much else? I'm just a happy person! -VioletThen the next one was, surprisingly enough, Lune! (So, she's part of this
cult organization too?)
I am Lune the brave, and haters don't got nothin' on me. -LuneThere were two more people beside me, and I was surprised to see that they were my room mates! (It also explains how it was so easy to kidnap me. THAT was what made it really easy, not my dispassionate, agreeable attitude toward the thought of being kidnapped.)
I am Samantha the insane. I prefer to addressed as a food item instead of by my real name. -SammichI am Lunae the sharp. That's pretty much it... I don't really have much of a personality. -LunaeFinally, they came to me. Divinity looked at me.
Now, what should we call you? Sora the....Audacious? -Sammich Suave? -VerityAhi &
Leliana ((At the same time)): STUPID?
Let's go with.... special. -DivinitySora the Special. Huh. It kind of had a ring to it. I liked it.
