Fantasy Blackwell Home for the Damaged Minds

[wyvernesss]

(( For now i'm going to be opening with Wrenn and Travis since they have to be there in the beginning. Just so we can get things started. ))


Wrenn impatiently tapped her foot against the foyer's newly polished wood floor. She had spent far too long going through applications to have all of the Children of Eve be late. Wrenn began to pace, a habit she had picked up when Eve wouldn't show up on time. She ran her fingers through her hair and checked her wrist watch once more; three o'clock. They were suppose to arrive at two, but with just discovering their powers... Who knows what could've happened?


Wrenn shook her head silently, no. She would wait patiently and be the guide they needed. She had to be, it's not exactly like they had a mother anymore. Wrenn tried to list off a few things she knew she would need, gloves, chains, paint... Her thoughts were interrupted by a chuckle from the corner of the room.


"You're stressing over nothing. The Children of Eve will find their way here with no problem."


Travis walked over to her and kissed the top of her head, a gesture that caused a wave of peace to wash over her.


"Trust me," He spoke, bringing her to the front door of the manor. "They'll love it here and you'll be great."


Wrenn smiled at Travis, knowing he was right, he always was. The old manor creaked under their footsteps and she began to wonder if the Children would like it. The manor was old and located in the middle of the woods, much like a horror movie although it did serve its purpose. To keep the Children of Eve hidden from anyone would hurt them.

Porter stood outside of a large gray building, it was very similar to the ones you would see from a haunted house movie. It had large dead trees, and the occasional Owl hoot. Needless to say Porter did not want to be there. He pleaded with his parents to reconsider days before, but he knew there was no hope. He had distanced himself with his friends, lashed out to his art teacher, and his grades plummeted. None of that seemed to worry porter, But the drawing of his soldier did. He felt scared of everything now, even of himself.


His parents had just driven away so he hand only one place left to go. He mustered his courage and walked (Ran) towards the manor. Porter finally got to the door and reluctantly knocked a few times, he hoped his parents knew what they had done.

The building’s exterior didn’t look very inviting, but perhaps that was just Q’s imagination. She was a little bit biased as she herself didn’t want to be there, but actually standing in front of it was a whole different story.


Looking behind her, Q saw her parents drive off and contemplated a daring escape, but a quick glance at the emptiness surrounding the house made her realize her hopelessness. Resigned, she began to walk towards the only building around. There was a line of trees leading up to the house, that Q made a special point to walk under. She didn’t want to have her world shift and fall into the open sky because she knew that would surely kill her. So she walked forward carefully and braced herself for what would come when she reached the door. Q was expecting maybe a little white room, or a straight jacket, but who knew, maybe she would get some medication that would make all this craziness just go away.

 

[wyvernesss]

Wrenn noted the movement and excitement bubbled up in her stomach, her eyes went to Travis. He nodded and opened the door to the teens, revealing Wrenn standing on the stairs with her arms opened wide.


"Welcome to Blackwell Manor," She smiled at the teens and gestured for them to enter the home. "My name is Wrenn and I am the head adviser here. Travis, the young man who opened the door for you, is the main counselor here. He will be helping you in anyway he can." She took several steps down the stairs before she stood in front of the teens.


"And your names are?"

 

[FIerce Violinist]

Porter barely looked at Wrenn; The inside of the home looked nothing like he imagined. He thought he would see a daft home with a lonely feel to it, but it was almost the opposite. It was formal to an extent and seemed teen friendly all round (Mostly because only 16 year olds and above were allowed). For a moment he didn't feel obscure, and disappointed about being sent here. He quickly snapped back to reality, shook hands with the man in the door way, and addressed Wrenn.


"Nice to meet you I'm Porter Wells," He seemed to say a little to quickly. He must have still been nervous about coming here.

 

[JustAnEnigma]

After reaching the last tree, Q hurried up the steps towards the front door that was held ajar. One boy was already there and two of the counselors had introduced themselves.


Feeling slightly more comfortable now that she was indoors, Q gave a small smile and said, "Uh, I'm Q. I mean, Quentin. Quentin Locks, but you can just call me Q."


After saying that, Q let out a breath she didn't know she had been holding and looked around the central area. The first conclusion she came to was this was not a standard therapy home. It seemed too... Friendly. She shrugged it off and looked back at Travis and Wrenn waiting to see if this "friendly" vibe she was getting was actually real or just a front.

 

[Mental Nightmare]

The car rolled up to the front of the building and Satoru got out after yelling at his father, "Look! I'm late! If only you had listened to my directions!" His father sighed, said his farewells, and took off. Satoru sighed as he walked up to the creepy building.

 

[wyvernesss]

Travis glanced at both of the teens, and the one coming through the door. "Ah, welcome. As you all can see, this is a rather large home. We are expecting many of you to be arriving, but for now we will carry on with just you three." Wrenn nodded, "Does anyone have any questions before we start?"


Wrenn knew these teens weren't stupid, her friendly exterior was not working. She at least wanted to clear somethings up for them.

 

[Moonstruckforest]

Dulcie almost jumped out of the car, glancing at her watch. She was an hour late! She glanced back at the car speeding off, her parents could've at least said a goodbye. Heart racing as she ran towards the door, not wanting to miss anything important, she only glanced around at her surroundings. It looked like a stereotypical mansion from a horror movie. Well, it didn't seem like she had any chance to go back now, her ride was long gone, and her parents would just ship her right back.


Approaching the door, Dulcie slowed down. With butterflies in her stomach from being nervous combined with a little bit of fear, the girl pulled open the door. With wide eyes, she murmured, "S-sorry I'm late." She nervously glanced around at the large room, it looked friendly. She alright with it but it seemed odd. Almost... like a façade.

 

[JustAnEnigma]

Q thought about asking the question about where the white-padded cells were, but she decided against it. If she was going to get better here, it might help to not make enemies with the administration by accusing them of child entrapment.


Instead she awkwardly stood there as a couple more kids came in behind her and apologized for being late, which made Q laugh slightly to herself. If she could have been late, she would have if it hadn't been for her parents and their need to get her here on time.

 

[wyvernesss]

Travis closed the door behind the last remaining students and glanced over the small group before nodding to Wrenn. She nodded back before looking into the crowd of the teens. "You may all notice that this is no ordinary therapy home. This is a home for exceptionally gifted, you all were hand chosen. You may have all noticed a recent change in your lives. Things you only read about in books, but trust me. This is so much better than any book you'll ever read."


Travis stepped forward and began to speak, "You will learn everything you need to know about yourselves and why this is happening to you. This home is for the Children of Eve." Travis checked his watch and nodded at Wrenn.


Wrenn gestured to a hall to her right, "At dinner tonight we will explain everything, but for now we would like to get you settled into your rooms and get you all to know one another. Your rooms are up the stairs and to the right, Travis and I will escort you."

 

[KyBear]

Violet ran up to the rather large building.


"Oh shit." she muttered. She was late. She was always late. To everything.


Punish in the First day? Great. Just what I need.


She looked back to see if her parent were still there. Thankfully no. She didn't really want to ever see them again. They were sending her to a boarding school. She'll probably be locked up because of what she 'did'.


She quickly knocked on the door. Fearing what could be inside. It could be anything. Death. Or Worse, Straight Jackets.

 

[JenniPerson]

Although Sherri was indeed late, when she arrived she didn't take any effort to get the building quickly. As she walked under the line of trees that lead to the rather large building, she noticed that with every step she took the grass underneath her shoes would start to turn brown and then turned green. Also the trees she had past looked as if they were rotting. She sighed as she approached the building, watching as the door closed behind the auburn haired girl. Great, there are other people here. If they end up like my pets I swear... Sherri sighed again and approached the door. She loudly knocked on the door to show that she was there to whoever was inside. She waited a couple seconds before opening the door and walking inside.

"Honey, be careful all right?" Kyle's mother said as he stepped out of the car. She had looked at the building one more time before turning back to him to hear his response. Even though what her son had done was horrible, she still believes that Kyle was her little angel and was worried for him. "Of course I will, don't worry about me mom and just relax" Kyle said with a reassuringly smile. You're so annoying sometimes. Although his bullying was exposed, Kyle still wanted to keep up his angel face to his parents hoping while he's stuck there in Blackwell Manor they would feel guilty. Only in his mind will you find his true and cruel thoughts.


Kyle took his luggage out of the trunk and waved goodbye to his parents before started to walk to the building. In the distance, he could hear his mother scream "Don't forget to call us!" He turned around and smiled, again waving goodbye as the car drove off. He sighed as he couldn't see the car anymore, finally being able to put away his angel face. Kyle normally could keep up the act, but it was just tiring sometimes and the fact that he might have to keep up the act 24-7 at Blackwell Manor made him groan. I hope you two feel guilty for sending your only son to rot away in this hell hole. He thought while approaching the front door of the building. Kyle didn't knock and just went right into the building seeing the group of other teenagers.

 

[wyvernesss]

Wrenn began to ascend the stairs with the grace only years of knowledge could display. As she led the teenagers upstairs she began to speak, "You all are each here for reasons that you could not help nor understand. Some of you are scared, and some of you are completely over this. This home is meant to be your safe haven, where you can be open about yourself." Wrenn turned around to the group at the top of the stairs, "Rooms on the left are for girls and rooms on the right are for boys. Others are coming soon, so don't be surprised if you hear anything around the home. After you all get settled in, i'll be waiting in the dining hall. Anyone have any questions?"

 

[FIerce Violinist]

Porter took this moment to speak up,


"Are we going to have roommates? Because no offense or anything but I'm not very... ecstatic about sharing rooms with strangers." As he said it, he took a glance at the boy that had just joined the group. He felt intimidated when he saw him come, and his demeaning face didn't help. He had been an only child all his life so he had never had to share rooms before. He thought of all the things that could go wrong with it and his fear grew.

 

[wyvernesss]

Wrenn laughed lightly, "As much as I would love to put you in rooms together, we have put you all into separate rooms for your own sake. I have to go prepare, Travis will now take care of you and any varies questions." Wrenn made her way past the teens and Travis took her spot. He took a moment to wait until she was gone before speaking to the teens.


"Unlike Wrenn, I don't like pleasantries. Now if your time to ask real questions and get real answers."

 

[Mental Nightmare]

Satoru looked up at the guy and mumbled, "Is there a library?" If he was to stay here, he at least wanted to read.

 

[Guilded Clover]

Riley made his way into the building quietly. He was carrying around his violin case and his luggage in his hands. Soon, he found a group of teenagers and slipped in, trying not to make himself known.

 

[wyvernesss]

Travis nodded his head, "Yes, there is a library. Here we want you to explore every aspect of life you can from the gym in the basement to the music room on the third floor. We have every intention of making you feel comfortable and at home." Travis gave one last look over the group before pulling a chart from a nearby hook on the wall. He flipped a few pages before running his finger down the page.


"Dulcie, you're in Room 2. Q, you're in Room 4. Sherri, Room 6. Violet, Room 8." Travis motioned for them to go down the left side of the hall before turning to the remaining boys.


"Porter, you're in Room 1. Kyle, you're in Room 3. Satoru, Room 5. Riley, Room 7." He gestured to the right side of the hall, where said rooms were held.


"Only rule about rooms, is that you don't burn them to the ground." Travis chuckled slightly, before looking over the teens. "Any last questions? This is your last chance."

 

[Mental Nightmare]

Satoru shook his heslightly and moved past him to get to his room. He would walk into his room, put everything away, then he would go find the library.


He looked up at room 5, back at the group, and at the room again. He opened the door and peered inside.

 

[Moonstruckforest]

After receiving her room number, Dulcie had become uninterested in the conversation.. Besides, she didn't have any questions. Was there any reason to stay? She wandered down the left side of the hall until she reached a door with the number 2 on it. Though, she was excited that they had a library. Opening the door, she looked around the room. It definitely would take some getting used to. Dulcie would much rather be in her own room than here, but she didn't really have a choice. Hopefully, if she stayed in the library until she had to leave, she could avoid encounters with the other teenagers. She hated seeing those bars over everyone's heads and wished they would just go away.


Closing her room, she started to head down the hall. She only made it a few feet before realizing that she had no idea where the library was at. The house was huge and they had only been shown to their rooms. Peering down the hall, she decided to go forwards and just hope she was going the right way.

 

[pridedzoey]

Amber took her first steps upon the manor grounds....looked kinda intimidating... Who knows what actually happens in there.... She was pretty sure no absolutely monstrous stuff takes place... But group therapy was not on her list of things to do. She slowly walked to the entrance, darting her eyes around making sure everything was alright. She creeps into the manor itself.


She takes a look around and see's some other teens being assigned rooms, she arrived just as the last names were called. As some of the other kids started to drift towards their respected rooms...and elsewhere Amber stood there unknowii on where to go...what to do....as the person asked for any questions, Amber softy spoke " is my name on the list?.... Its amber, sorry I'm late"

 

[JustAnEnigma]

Q stood awkwardly as some of her fellow "students" asked questions. She still wasn't sure about this place, but didn't exactly know how to politely ask why this "therapy school" seemed so... normal. She shrugged it off, assuming that it would all be answered at dinner as Wrenn and Travis had said. When it seemed the questions were over, Q slipped behind the other teens and turned to the left where the girl's dorms were. She only counted two doors before arriving at her assigned room, thankful that she was alone. While she wasn't planning on burning it down, she didn't want to freak a roommate out more than she herself was already freaked out.


Q took a step into the room and tossed her backpack onto the bed and sat down. She didn't really look around, just sat there. She didn't really know what to do, but Q realized that one thing was for sure. She did not want to be sitting alone in her room. As quickly as she sat down, she stood up, leaving her bag behind her, and Q made her way to where she had come from, past the staircase, and down the opposite hallway.

 

[wyvernesss]

Travis looked at Amber, and darted his eyes down the list. "Amber, Room 10. After you're all settled, you can go exploring and if you really get bored you can always go bother Wrenn. She's the other adviser here." Travis smiled light at her before heading down the stairs and towards the dining hall where he found Wrenn making food and muttering to herself. He shook his head, and began to help her make food.


"They're all settled. A couple aren't here yet. The twins and a boy." Travis began to sprinkle the surface of the counter with flour and mashed down the dough. Wrenn looked up at Travis, knowing that not everyone would come on the same day. "Maybe that's better... You know, it's a lot easier to deal with a smaller group without having to worry about the insane."


Travis began to flip the dough, making sure Wrenn watched. She immediately began to copy his movements, as if she were doing them herself.

 

[Guilded Clover]

Riley made his way to his room. When he got in, he put his bags down and sat on the bed. He left door open in case anyone wanted to talk. He pulled out his violin and started to play. It was a slow song and it wasn't bad. It was loud enough for people to hear outside of Riley's room, but not all the way down the hall. Playing music calmed him and hopefully others as well.
