Hey guys! So I had to make a small change in the story, which was the characters' ages...so...here are the ages of everyone:
Ink: 19 ( in College)
Lust: 19 (in College)
Blue: 17 (Junior in Highschool)
Dust: 17 (Has Mental Hospital Education)
Horror: 19 (Been at HQ when he was 13)
Error: 18 (Been at HQ when he was 10)
Dream & Nightmare: 19 (Been at HQ when they were 9)
Cross: 18 (Senior in Highschool)
Killer: 18 (Been at HQ since he was 9. It was also his birthday when he had to leave.)
Geno: 20 (Been at HQ since he was 14)
Reaper: 20 (Also has been at HQ since he was 14.)
???: 20 (???)
???: 19 (In college)
Sci: 17 (Junior in Highschool)
Fell: 17 (Junior in Highschool)
I edited the first chapter to fit the ages, but uh yeah, enjoy! Btw HQ is what I'm gonna call the place where Peculairis go to, to stay safe from supernatural, mythical, and unordinary creatures. I'll give it a real name when the time comes.

Blue POV:
"Oh, it's alright guys! I think I have enough proof-" Sci interrupted me, "Listen Blue. I understand you have two people who have seen something similar to what you have seen. But, Fell and I realized, that your friends probably would not believe either one of us. So, my solution-" "Our solution." "Oh-yeah- right, our solution is video evidence."
Video evidence? How would that work- well, to be honest, that would probably prove my case. "Alright. I'm listening."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Third Person POV:
As soon as Blue heard the words 'A night over' He immediately knew this would not go well. "Woah-Woah. Stay the night over at school?! Why-who- would ever want to spend more than the six hours of torture that is school?!" Sci rolled his eyes, "Okay. Stop being overdramatic, it's not gonna be that bad." Blue still wasn't sure about this plan. From his knowledge, the plan was to hide in the library until school was over and escape through the window in the library and with the video camera from the school's photography club record any supernatural or unordinary experience.
"Okay fine. I'll call Ink and Lust and lie that I'll be at a friend's house. But- uh what about the dog?" Blue said pointing at Kei. Sci explained that he would let Kei out of the back door of the school before going to the library and Kei would inform them when the coast was clear. "Our fate relies on a dog?" Blue questioned. "Hey! This dog is a very intelligent animal! Sometimes I think he is human!" Sci exclaimed, and when he said that Kei perked his eyes up, and wagged his tail. They all stared at Kei until Blue got uncomfortable and had to get to class, "Anyway, I've got to go! See ya guys at the library!"

Third Person POV
April 22, 6:00pm
The trio had been in the library for what almost seemed like four hours, since school had ended at 2 pm, they had almost been caught multiple times during those four hours, but they hid in a closet until they heard the door to the library shut and lock. However, throughout the whole time, Sci would keep getting anxious saying he would hear the librarian talking but Blue and Fell get reassuring him that they heard absolutely nothing and that he was imagining it. Fell opened the closet a little and scanned the room, "Alright coast is clear." They all stepped out and took deep inhales of the fresh library air and not the dusty closet air. Now all they had to wait for was Kei.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kei POV:
(What time is it? Idk I'm a dog!)
As I hid in the bushes of the school I saw many humans and normal monsters leave, every human and monster has a unique smell, that sometimes only dogs can smell, so occasionally I would smell the air to locate humans. I took a whiff of the air, and I could smell six smells, my smell, my owner's smell, and his two friends' smells. But then...I smelled two others who weren't in the school, but yet...smelled familiar. Well...technically there isn't anyone, I starting barking at the library window in hopes my owner could hear me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Third Person POV:
The trio heard barking which they knew was Kei's signal. The window in the library was very high up, so they rolled a book cart underneath it. "Alright, who wants to go first?" Fell asked turning to face both Blue and Sci. Blue and Sci looked at each other, turned their heads to face Fell, and replied in unison, "You." Fell rolled his eyes and climbed on the cart. The window was eye length now, it was about 95.5 inches by 47.5 inches, Fell had opened the window earlier today, and easily slid out the window from the cart. Blue and Sci climbed the cart and looked out the window. "You alright?" asked Blue. Fell was kneeled down and looked up to give them a thumbs up. "Yeah." Blue looked at Sci, "I can go next if you'd like." Sci nodded, Blue could tell Sci was getting a little worried about jumping out of a window. Blue also couldn't believe how quickly Fell just slid out of the window and hit the ground, it was a little impressive.
Blue climbed into the window frame, he looked down at Fell, "You need me to catch you or something?" Fell asked. Blue shook his head and jumped, landing on his feet. Blue and Fell looked up at the window and saw Sci in the window. Kei sat beside Fell looking up at the window and wagging his tail. Blue grabbed Fell by the arm and both stood by the window, "Don't worry! Me and Fell will catch you!" "We will?" "Yes." "Alright, we will." Sci looked down and sighed, "You guys better." Sci then jumped, in all honesty, Blue and Fell didn't have to even catch him, Sci had landed on his feet, and Blue and Fell just supported him so he wouldn't start falling backward. Kei ran to Sci and licked his leg.
"Hey. You know I just realized, why did we need to spend a night over at school we could have just met up after school." Blue asked. Fell and Sci looked at each other, "We should just tell him." "Fine." Blue had a confused expression on his face, "Tell me what?" Sci explained that two strangers keep following them around and that if they exited the school on time they probably would not show up tomorrow. "Then inform the police! Did you get any descriptions?!" They shook their heads. Kei perked his head up away from Sci's leg and started barking at a bush.
The trio immediately turned their heads towards the bush, and ran beside the side of the school, Fell grabbed the camcorder from his backpack, Blue could tell it was from the Photography club. "Woah wait you managed to get that?!" Blue shout-whispered, Fell nodded. "How?" "Lets just say I have triple the amount of homework, now shut up." Sci called for Kei but this time he would not move he just sat down.
From the bushes one of the guys from yesterday emerged, Blue gasped. He knelt down to Kei's level. "I knew you looked familiar, I recognize that Galaxy theme anywhere." Kei barked. The guy grabbed hold of Kei's collar and snapped it into two. Then...something supernatural happened. In a matter of seconds, or perhaps a blink of an eye, Kei was now a skeleton? He wasn't even human! He was a skeleton.
"Oh thank god, I thought that if I was a dog for one more second I would lose myself." "Thank god that didn't happen, my friend." The now skeleton Kei started to stretch, he then smelled the air and coughed, "Oh god- I still can smell everything in this world, I think I'm still a part dog, give me a second."
Blue, Fell, and Sci were sure that this was enough evidence, and so they began running.
"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!"
"YOU'RE LOOKING AT ME LIKE I KNOW! I ALWAYS KNEW MY DOG WAS HUMAN-LIKE BUT NEVER DID I THINK HE WAS ACTUALLY HUMAN!"
"AHHHHHHHHH"
"SHUT UP BLUE"
They couldn't tell if this was really happening, they all screamed down the street, running into the nearby cemetery, trying so bad not to trip over each other's feet, until Blue fell by some unknown force. Sci and Fell had to stop and pick him up, "DUDE WHAT THE HELL DID YOU TRIP OVER, AIR?!" "I DONT KNOW WHAT JUST HAPPENED!" Then they all fell, they groaned and the camcorder almost broke, Fell shoved it into the pocket of his jacket. They tried to get up but every time they did they would fall to the ground. Soon Kei (or however that was) and the guy caught up to them breathing for air. "Damn...you....guys...run...fast!" Kei took a long breath of air. And the other guy spoke, "Okay Gen, get off them." Soon a figure became visible on top of the Trio. Sci instantly remembered him and almost screamed. "Reaps if I get off them they'll run." "If you don't get off them they won't trust us." Fell scoffed, "We already don't trust you. You've been following Sci and me for two days." Kei sighed, "Listen. I know this all seems strange, but you've got to trust us before we can explain."
The trio was silent for a few seconds, "Tell us who you three are and we might trust you." Blue said. Kei looked over at Geno who was still on the Trio. "Geno actually, get off them." Geno rolled his eyes, "Explain who we are then I'll get off them." Kei facepalmed, "Alright. My name is Outer. Not Kei, though Kei is a nice name! These two are R-" "Why are you not a dog anymore?" Sci interrupted, he wanted to know how his only friend in the world was now a skeleton. "It's a long story, but the short version is that I have the ability to be reincarnated, and this time I chose to be a dog." The trio was silent, "How old are you?" Outer thought for a second, "Well in my second life I died when I was eight. The third life I died when I was ten. And now since this is my fourth life as a dog I am two to three years old." They all waited in silence, the trio meant something else. "Oh! You meant how old am I in this form!" The trio nodded. "Ah! Well okay, this form is the first life I had where I lived to be 20 years old, so I'm 20, but I guess I have a mental age of four lifetimes."
"Also Reaper, take that dumb cloak off."
"Okay first off, It's not dumb. Second, I'll just take off the hood not the whole thing." As Reaper took the hood of his cloak off he began to introduce himself, "Sup, names Reaper. I've got a coffee addiction." Reaper stuffed his gloved hands into his pockets, Sci also had a coffee addiction but he never would admit it. "You got any special ability like Outer or some shit?" Reaper stretched his neck making his bones pop, "I kill any mortal I touch unless I have gloves on." The trio's eyes widen, anything he touches? "What about you person who is laying on us?" Blue asked, still a little freaked out by Reaper's ability. "It's Geno. And yeah, I can turn invisible, any more questions?"
"Uh yeah actually, can you get off us?" Sci asked,
"You gonna run away?"
The Trio replied in unison, "No."
Geno got off of the Trio and they started to get rid of the dust on them from Geno tripping them into the concrete. "What do you want from us?" Blue asked as calmly as he could. "It's quite simple, we are here to retrieve you and bring you to safety before you come close to a supernatural, or unordinary creature," Geno said bluntly. "Do you realize how stupid and weird that sounds?" Geno rolled his eyes, "Listen, you can either believe us or you don't. But when something comes to kill you don't say we didn't warn you. One kid didn't want to come with us and he might be dead as we speak."
"What was the kid's name?" Blue asked curiously, he had an idea on who the person was.
"Cross."
Blue eyes widen, he knew it! It was him! "Oh! I know him! I can help find him!" The other three stared at Blue, "You can?" "Yeah! Maybe I can convince him! I'm really good at convincing people to do stuff!"
"Alright, but you've got to come with us it's not safe out here." Fell started getting annoyed, "Why? Why isn't it safe out here? This place is perfectly safe, well not perfectly there are messed up people- but you know what I mean." "Listen, if we don't take you to HQ-" "Whats HQ?" Sci asked.
Outer was about to speak up but then howls rang throughout the air, though it sounded much louder than a regular dog. They all flinched at the sound, but it seemed that Outer, Reaper, and Geno were the most freaked out. "Wait...is this place a cemetery?" Sci nodded, "Yeah I think so." The other three in unison mumbled a curse word. "We've got to get out of here now!" "What-? Why it was just a howl of a dog-" Another howl erupted throughout the air, "Never mind there's no time!" Geno pulled out a lighter and Reaper pulled out two small cards, "We've gotta get them outta here," Reaper held the cards out to Geno, who lit them up.
"What are you two doing?! That could cause a fire hazard!" Blue screamed, "There's no trees around! Besides, we are notifying two others!" "Who the hell are you notifying by lighting up some cards?!" Reaper dropped the cards and Geno put the lighter in his pocket, the cards burned into thin air before hitting the ground, "There names are Dust and Horror."
