Dear Hawk,

Sorry for ending it right there. And sorry for talking to you like a real... talking... thing. Whatever. But of course, I have a good excuse reason for that! Well... I talked with some of the new students. And.... something crazy. Remember me her?



Apparently she came back just today, and Snowy's deering fawning all of her. Ugh. Did she really act like that when I... was disguised? I came back just in time to see her smash the doors open really dramatically, and walk up the corridor like it was a catwalk. Everyone was stepping out of her way, whispering to each other and muttering. Suddenly, another guy kicked the doors open like it was a police movie or something and followed the girl.



I could hear a couple of girls giggling as they watched the boy strut after her. He grinned and winked at a bunch of them, causing them all to giggle even loudly and squeal. Then of course, the first dog to speak up was her.



Snowy: AZUUURE! Welcome back to Furford!
Azure: Well, hello there, Snowy. I'd like you to meet Adam, my brother.
Snowy: *squeals* ADDDAM! I've been like, totally admiring your movie, and you're like, you know, super cute!
Adam: ....
Snowy: *continues blabbering on*
Adam: .... Hey.
Snowy: *screams with happiness and nearly faints*
Azure: Anyways, we're planning to... hang around a little more. Is your room still free?
Snowy: Well, Sunny's moved back - nah, it's free!
Azure: Totally awesome! See you there - I need to get back to the limousine to get my stuff.
Snowy: You have a limousine?! Girl, I am totally coming with you!
Azure: Sure. *walks back outside*

What was up with the dramatic entrance when they were just going to go back out again? Movie stars are weird. I can't believe I was once... erm... in that... body. That sounds a little gross, does it? Or is it just me? ...... I think it's just me.

Anyways, of course, I decided to stalk investigate what was going on. However, when I was going outside, I bumped into another Popular.



Me: Hi.
Ocean: H - hi...
Me: .... You looking at something? *looks at the doors*
Ocean: I - I...
Me: You'll never have a chance with him. You know, Snowy...?
Ocean: B - but... *sniffles* You...
Me: ... Oh, sorry. I was just.... erm... telling the truth.
Ocean: *nods and wipes eyes* Okay... Then... Your name is...?
Me: Skyler. You're Ocean Spirit, right?
Ocean: Just Ocean if you want.... I... I need to go now.
Me: Erm, okay. See you...?
Ocean: Bye... *skitters off*

I hurried past her and out the doors. However, their conversation had just ended so I could get no information. *sigh* I decided to head outside to hang out... around somewhere. I went to sit under a tree and tried to look cool, but nobody paid attention. Just then, I noticed a little pink rose in a bush. Then it moved.

Me: THERE'S A MOVING FLOWER -

Then a cat popped out.



Turka: Eeep! *runs off*
Me: Wait, what?! Hey -
???: Hey.

I spun around to see a Popular. I nearly mistook her for an Emo until I looked closely.



Me: A Popular. Eh.
Nicanyo: .... *looks around* It's not that.
Me: So it's...?
Nicanyo: Just.... this thing. The sorting system Snowy uses.
Me: And...?
Nicanyo: It bugs me. It's even worse when you're supposed to live your life forever a servant of the 'great and wonderful' Snowy.
Me: Me?
Nicanyo: No, me. She drags me shopping and doing all these stuff that she says Populars should do. Of course, the worst thing is that I lost my scythe yesterday.
Me: But you're holding one.
Nicanyo: I have a spare.
Me: Ah.
Nicanyo: So anyways, I think I left it in the graveyard I visited yesterday.
Me: G - graveyard?
Nicanyo: Yeah. And she's warned all of us - if she catches any of us hanging around where we aren't supposed to, things are going to happen. I had to hold my tongue to tell her - "What? You're going to stab us to death with your pretty pink pawnails?"
Me: Oh, yeah.
Nicanyo: *sighs* Well, then. Even I don't want to see it - I'm sure she holds great power, even being as delicate as a rose. I need someone to get it for me.
Me: Erm, well... *starts creeping backwards* There are a couple of... other dogs who like helping... like...
Nicanyo: Can you help?
Me: *sweatdrops* Erm, uh...
Nicanyo: *stares at me intensely* After school, okay? Meet me... in the girls' bathrooms, 2nd floor.
Me: .... Yeah. Right.
Nicanyo: Thanks. *walks off, then reverts to a 'strutting' kind as she approaches the front doors*

Now what? What have I gotten myself into...? *sighs* Oh, well. School starts soon... Like a couple of minutes later. Maybe I'll hang around and chat. Suddenly the air feels a lot more... shadowy. Is that even a word? Anyways, as I wandered back into the school, I bumped - literally - into Stella.



Me: Hey. *suddenly remembers Nicanyo's first word to me* Erm, I mean, hi.
Stella: .... Both meanings are quite similar.
Me: Um, yeah. Right.
Stella: .....
Me: Hi.
Stella: You said that twice.
Me: *sweatdrops* Um, okay... So... you're Stella.
Stella: Yes. And you're Skyler.
Me: You...
Stella: The internet. There's a Tumblr post about it.
Me: There's a Tumblr post about me?
Stella: Don't ask me. It was created by someone called 'Sunshine_Snow'. It talked about how the Populars totally hate you.
Me: The - You mean Snowy.
Stella: Perhaps. She might even be in this school. *tiny smile* Maybe you can ask around. I need to head for my locker first. See you.
Me: See you. Bye. Um, yeah. Later.
Stella: .... You messed that up. *chuckles softly and hurries away*

I decided to go to my locker too. However, close by, I could smell the horrible scent of 'Dumpster Trash' perfume from... Snowy. Of course. She was arguing with Clémence, probably forgetting about Azure, because the movie stars had already gone off somewhere.



Clémence: - crush you because your perfume seems to have come from it!
Snowy: You... You rude Outcast! You don't ever -
Clémence: Talk back to a lame, good-for-nothing girl? Huh. *snorts* You'd better watch, little snowflake girl. Because you're not going to be that delicate, pretty, precious little white snowflake any longer. *jogs off, then turns head around* And it's Outcat, not Outcast or anything else. *hurries off*

I was about to hurry after her to ask about it when suddenly, something toppled off the top of a locker and landed on top of her. A cloud of black, smokey stuff floated around Snowy. But of course, the best (or the worst for Snowy) was the smell. It was a perfectly made stink bomb - a... stench, like fish bones, rotten bananas and stuff, smothered Snowy.

Snowy: Eeeek! *faints*

As everyone was watching Snowy topple back, suddenly a blue blur knocked a couple of animals back and caught Snowy in his arms. Snowy blinked her eyes open, gasped, and leaned back into him.

Snowy: My hero, Adam!
Adam: .... Just doing my job, madam.
Snowy: EEEEEEK!

Adam put her down and walked off as a couple of girls crowded around him, talking nonstop. I was about to turn away - well, I did, but I nearly crashed straight into... Victoire? How did she get here?



Victoire: The one who may seem like a light could be the shadow that makes it seem brighter.
Me: What?
Victoire: *slide-walks off silently*

Ugh. I hate riddles. Well, time for class. At least I won't be late.

Oh. I forgot to get my stuff... and I was standing right next to my locker just now. I was... distracted, I guess. Ugh. Now I'm just sitting here, tapping my paws against my desk anxiously. I'm so going to get detention. But then, the good thing is, I won't have to go into a spooky graveyard....

???: Psst!
Me: Eh?

I turned around to see Jo, sitting in the desk behind me.



Jo: While everyone was staring at the spectacular scene of damsel-in-distress, these slipped out of your locker. You didn't notice, so I picked it up.
Me: Picked what?
Jo: *slides over my books* These.
Me: Oh. *takes them* Erm, thanks?
Jo: Whatever.

I handed in my homework, silently thanking Jo again when the teacher gave the dog a couple of seats back a lunchtime detention. So of course, since I didn't mention it, it was Science. We had to dissect a dead rat. Yuck.

The teacher (I won't mention her name) put us into partners. I ended up with a girl called Summer. That's weird, because it reminds me of something....



Summer: Hey, Skyler!
Me: You know me?
Summer: Yeah! I posted stuff about you!
Me: Stuff?
Summer: You don't know?
Me: I know... what?
Summer: You know, Sunshine Snow's blog. That's me!
Me: .... Oh. Um. Rat body...?
Summer: Oh, yeah. I don't like rats, but whatever. *grabs some gloves from the table and pulls them on*
Me: *pulls gloves on too* How is this part of Science, anyways?
Summer: Dunno. Maybe the teacher hates rats?
Me: ..... Maybe.
Summer: Oooh! Maybe she hates spiders! Or silverfish! Or -
Me: Minecraft?
Summer: Nobody can hate Minecraft! It's just too epic for that! It's -
Teacher: Ahem.
Summer: Sor - ry!
Teacher: *turns away with a snort*

So of course, we got out a bunch of tiny knives and everything. Simply, we just chopped the rat up.

Me: Ew. Its heart. *places it to the edge of the table* Now, what -

Suddenly Summer barreled into me and shoved me away from the table, knocking somebody else's rat bits to the ground. I noticed the rat heart I had just cut out had fell to the ground, where my paw was a moment ago.

Teacher: SUMMER! D -
???: It's not her fault!

We turned around to see Splash, who seemed to have magically appeared there. On second thought, she was there before I was. Whatever.



Splash: S - Summer tripped on that! *points at a test tube that seemed to have magically appeared on the ground*
Teacher: Is that true, Summer?
Summer: Um, yeah.
Teacher: *sighs* It's lucky it didn't break when it hit the ground. All of these equipment are very delicate and fragile, blah blah blah...
Splash: *smiles and picks up the test tube* Just had to have an excuse, didn't you?

So, Splash put it there. Ah.

Summer: I'm sorry for -
Me: Nah, you just saved me from a rat heart.
Summer: *chuckles quietly*

The teacher blabbered on about fragile equipment, then we were dismissed. I won't describe the next class (okay, I will, in one word - boring) so I can move on to break. Yay.

I hung out by myself so I could listen in on Azure and Adam's conversation. Of course, my plan was ruined when they walked off to talk about things. Then I heard a whistling noise - I automatically turned to where it was coming from (my ears are big, yes, but they are quite good, if I say so myself) and raised my paw.

I caught a discus - and the discus, including my paw, continued straight for my face and I ended up getting slapped with my paw plus the discus.

Me: Ow.
???: SORRY!
Me: Um, okay. *throws it back*



I realized it was Leonard. He grinned, waved and threw the discus to one of the other boys. (With his hooves, yes.)

I decided not to hang around and embarrass myself even more, so I went off to check the time. So there's hardly any left. I'll write about the graveyard thing later. *gulp* Yeah. Bye, Hawk. See you later.

[cosmos.;]

I'm laughing so hard, great job

[abxy]

heh, sciencey stuff :3 Oddly enough I'd enjoy dissecting and chopping up a rat or a frog or something..but that's just me, right? ...And once again you've perfectly portrayed Nicanyo...

[retroaqua]

I love it!

I can't wait for a big event..

Skyler is gonna be happy for Halloween..

Good time for pranks.

[20lait1]

Dear Hawk,

This is it. I've survived school, a shapeshifter, two creepy dogs, and a bat-cat. Now I have to risk my life... going into a graveyard. *gulp* Well, Nicanyo's counting on me. Let’s go.

Okay. I’m outside the graveyard… standing in front of that… stone archway. The creepy black gates with those spikes at the top are open… and there’s nobody inside. I can see tombstones lying around… Okay. There is nobody who wants to ambush or kill me here. Just a normal graveyard. I’ll have to spend some time searching for it… There’s a sign. Let me see…

No running, no playing, no flying, no disrespecting, no… Ugh. I hate rules. I don’t want to get arrested for breaking them, so I’ll just have to follow them. That means I have to keep my paws on the ground at all times…. I hate this. But Nicanyo expects me to be back soon…. I have to help her, right? I don’t want her reaping my soul or something. Okay, self… Here it comes.

There’s nothing to be afraid of. There’s nothing to be afraid of. There’s nothing to be afraid of. There’s SOMETHING TO BE AFRAID OF - THERE’S A GHOST RIGHT OVER THERE AHHHHHHH



I took a photo of it. So… it’s not a vampire. It disappeared, though… Wait a second. It looks like me… With creepy, glowing blue eyes, blue cyber wings, and a proper sword. Of course, don’t forget that glowing blue… circle around its paws. What is it? I knew there was something creepy here. But I haven’t found the scythe yet… run. Look. Run. Look. Run….

It just appeared again. You know what? I’m going to face it. I have my sword, my bow and… oh. No arrows. Ugh… I’m just going to chase it….

Me: OI! COME BACK!
???: …. *disappears*
Me: Hey! You…
???: *reappears to my right* No shouting in a graveyard. *glides away*
Me: You - hey, you can actually talk?
???: *stops* You can. Why can’t I?
Me: That doesn’t make sense, you…. ghost. Thing. Or are you a vampire?
???: *sighs* I can’t believe that you’re that clueless.
Me: I’m not clueless! Besides, can’t you tell me your name? I’m tired of writing question marks.
???: ….. Question marks…? Ah, yes. Another strange trait.
Me: What you mean, strange trait? Is it weird to write question marks?
???: No, not at all… I suppose it’s… fine to share my secrets with you, then. I go by the name of Hurricane.
Me: Hurricane? That’s cool.
Hurricane: I don’t have a full name, so I suppose Hurricane is fine.
Me: Okay… First -
Hurricane: If you’re asking for another favour, this would be your second.
Me: Fine, second. Whatever. Can you talk louder? And can you explain… everything? Oh, and have you seen a scythe around here?
Hurricane: …. I’ll talk louder, then. And I’ll explain… I’m a…. I’m like a opposite of you. Your soul, your spirit, whatever you dogs call it.
Me: …. I’m sick of this mythical, mystical stuff. Maybe you and Lucifer would be a good match. Mr Mysterious Puppy Voice and Miss Glowy-Eyes Spirit.
Hurricane: …. Your sense of humor is strange, indeed. And yes, I do know Lucifer, if you were wondering. He doesn’t know… this me, of course. But he does, too.
Me: Stop it with the riddles.
Hurricane: If you’re… what was that modern word they used again? Boating?
Me: Boating…? You mean shipping?
Hurricane: If that even is the word, then you’d be shipping yourself with Lucifer.
Me: Me with - ew, no.
Hurricane: I told you that you had a strange sense of humor. I am here to warn you -
Me: I get enough creepy omens and prophecies already.
Hurricane: - this isn’t the end. What you faced before was only the tiniest bit of what that is to come.
Me: What? An army of white-nosed dogs coming to get me?
Hurricane: Beware, Skyler… and for your last question, it’s over there. *pulls out sword and points it towards a tombstone*
Me: *steps back* You should be careful where you stab that sword -
Hurricane: *vanishes*

So of course, the creepiness. I went over to the tombstone she pointed at and found the scythe lying behind it, the end of it propped up on the top. I was about the leave when I noticed the words on the tombstone -

RIP Silverclaws Swiftrunner
Founder of the SSR Air Forces…

The words after that were so old they had rubbed out and gone. But the SSR Air Forces are pretty much the most… famous… erm, air force ever. They’re an army of winged animals - owls, dragons, winged horses, winged dogs, and pretty much anything that could fly. But this is creepy… Why does it sound so familiar? I’ve heard of Dad telling my stories of my great-grandfather, Silverclaws… And my History teacher teaching us about Commander SR. SR…. As in Swiftrunner. So they’re… the same dog? My great-grandfather? I… I think I need to ask my dad. But first…. I need to get out of this creepy graveyard.



Me: Got it. *gives back scythe*
Nicanyo: Thanks. I really have to get going - Snowy’s offered to have a fashion party thing at her dorm and I can’t refuse. See ya.
Me: Erm. See you…?
Nicanyo: *hurries off with a smile*

So…. job done. Creepy Hurricane guy. Pretty normal day, I guess? Well, then. I think I need to get back to my dorm and…. see what’s interesting to do. Halloween’s coming up - lots of pranking and sweets - and I don’t have a single idea what to do. I bet somebody’s going to be hosting a Halloween party - hope it’s not Snowy - and I don’t want to be the odd one out - the girl with no costume or anything. Eh. Maybe I should ask Creek or Jewel to help me out… I suppose later. See you, Hawk.
