Swirls of black, purple, and blue crossed my field of vision

Swirls of black, purple, and blue crossed my field of vision. The next thing I knew, I was dumped on the cold hard ground. I rubbed my eyes and blinked. "Where am I?" I yelled. No answer. Suddenly, There is a loud bang of wind chimes. It shook my limp eight- year old body. A crowd of teens spilled out of the building I hadn't noticed before.


Something about them seemed odd. Their skin glowed white, they had different colored eyes, and dyed hair in the many shades of blue and purple, too. A group of boys came over to me and whispers to one another.

There was a tall teen with spiked hair who basically yelled what he was saying, "Bro! Look at this pathetic freshman!"

There was a tall teen with spiked hair who basically yelled what he was saying, "Bro! Look at this pathetic freshman!". "Freshman?" I thought quizzically. "Im not even qualified to go to highschool!" More questions raced in my mind.

The group finally left but I was still sitting on the floor with my teddy bear, Bobo. Hugging him for warmth.
I spoke to Bobo through my mind, "Bobo,Where am I?" I glanced up and I saw two girls talking to each other.

  "Ursa, why didn't you do as I said?! I literally told you exactly to add 20 more stars

  "Ursa, why didn't you do as I said?! I literally told you exactly to add 20 more stars. Only 20!" said the girl with deep purple eyes and multi-colored hair. The other girl answered shakily, "W-well, I couldn't just send them to the Death Lair, c-could I?" She started playing with her cyan hair.

  "Yes!  You could!" The other girl raised her voice louder. She turned around to spot me. Her personality suddenly changed, "Oh!Hey sweetie! Welcome to Space University! I'm Principal Moonwalk!Follow me!"

"Well, what kind of principal says, 'hey' so casually?" I wanted to yell in her face. I didn't. She left me into the building and I tentatively stepped forward. Principal Moonwalk walked onto a podium and started announcing something.

"Hello, fellow humans! Or, that's what you call yourself!" Principal Moonwalk said with a wink. "Welcome new comers, to Space University! You are a fledgling-Star currently. After one week here, you will be fully star! So, be sure to visit the memorial to check out your grave!" She continued.

I sat down, tired from standing. I ignored her speech. It came to sudden realization. I thought, panicky, "Wait, oh my gosh! Am I dead?  she said, 'grave' though!"

After Principal Moonwalk's speech, I calmed down a bit and decided to check out my grave. "Erm, excuse me, sir, do you know which way the memorial is?" I asked shyly. He had his orange hair with a black gradient swept to one side with a small earing on his left ear.

"Pfft! A freshman! Ok, I'll tell you. Just follow the freakin' signs!"he scoffed and pointed to a small fence post with signs on it. I nodded slowly and left.

"Sassy much?!" I thought. I turned left and saw a whole valley of various gravestones. I held back tears, thinking about all the people that had come. I went over to a section labeled 'H'."Perfect, 'h' for Hart." I thought.

Right away, I saw my grave. It was a basic earthy stone color and it was written in calligraphy, "Here lies Alexa Hart, a young, often jovial girl." I smiled at my grave and walked over to the next one. Immediately tears spilled over my cheeks, like an overflowing river.

It was Cora Hart. "G-Grandma.." I said. I laid down besides her grave, next to her white roses.

It felt like Grandma's presence was strong. It was like she was there but she wasn't. I spent a long time 'talking' to Grandma, I hadn't realized my week has gone past.

I felt a tap on my shoulder.I turned around to see the same girl that was talking to Principal Moonwalk. "Alexa Hart, your week is up. Will you please follow me to the transformation office?" she asked me. "No." I said sternly. "You gave me an option. No. I don't even know what I'm getting myself into!"

With a sudden jerk, she grabbed my arm. Her kindness disappeared. "I am Principal Moonwalk's secretary, Ursa Major, listen to me!"

She pulled me down a bare hall and into a room with a strange aura. I smelled something familiar here. Blood.
