It's all good!

The Assassins Academy turns ordinary children into trained killers to work for the government. They will undergo mental and physical hardships to break and remake themselves. Those that can't make it are never seen again. Those who do, they are sent wherever the government decides they go. The students are to always says obey, no unorthorized fights, never use your weapons unless instructed too, no drugs, and no sex (though students find their way around that one).

It was just another ordinary day at the Academy, or however ordinary it could be, when a scream was heard echoing through the school. Teachers and students alike rushed to see what the commotion was. There, a girl lived dead, with blood seeping out of her slit throat. Teachers quickly herded the students back to their dorm rooms. The next day, on the PA, the principal made an announcement. "Delilah Woods' death was a tragic and unnecessary death. The culprit has not yet been found, and because of that, new rules are to be instated. There will be a curfew, no one out past eight o'clock. No one goes anywhere alone. Teachers will be in the halls to help escort students to class. But always have a friend with you. There will be a memorial held for Delilah next Friday. Be careful." The PA went dead.

Donovan looked up blearily from his book at the sound of the intercom. Dead? A student was dead? This was new to him. He looked around at the other kids heading to classrooms for the day and stood up to follow. Then he accidentally tripped and brought someone down with him. He didn't know who though.

Luna remembered the girl fainly. She frowned slightly, who would want to kill her? Why would someone kill her? She shrugged and went on with her day.

Avery muttered something, pulling his hoodie straps tighter and holding onto his bag. Why would someone want to kill her? I don't believe she upset anyone…

Aya looked up at the PA's announcement. This was bad news.

Xena sighed and turned back to her essay. She didnt know the girl too well but a.death is still a death

"what do you expect from an 'assassins academy?" Theron mumbled to himself as he rounded a corner to the library, trying to skip class again. He pulled his hood down farther over his eyes and quickened his place

Donovan quickly stood up and helped the person he had tripped over. "So sorry!" he called over his shoulder deciding to skip class for the first time in his time here at the academy and bolting for the library, mumbling book titles under his breath. He needed to find those books…

Phoebe barged into the Headmaster's office. Delilah had been a friend of hers, one of the few people she trusted at that horrid academy. She slammed her hands on the desk. "What the hell are you doing to find out who killed her?! Becuase it doesn't seem like you're doing anything to me!" The Headmaster carefully folded his hands on the desk and looked up at her. "We can't discuss an open investigation with you, no matter how close you were to Delilah." Phoebe scoffed. "That's bullshit." She stormed out of the office, ignoring any looks that were glanced her way. SHe looked shit, she knew it. No makeup for once and puffy eyes. She didn't care. She didn't cease her walk until she came to the library, where all the nerds and smart people hung out. She spotted Theron and Donovan, not exactly what she was looking for but they would have to do. She stormed over to them and grabbed them, pulling them deeper into the library, so she wouldn't be overheard. "I need your help. And whether you like it or not, you're going to help me."

Xena finished her essay, saved the file, the got off the computer to go to the library.

Luna had some research to do for a paper due later this week. She made her way to the library to see if it had any resources for her to use. She couldn't find anything in the obvious sections and went deeper in overhearing some conversation going on. That seemed interesting, she stopped and hid in an adjacent aisle continuing to look for a research book.

Theron found his corner of the library and grabbed the book he was reading previously "someone should have told us this was lethal…oh wait..this is an assassins academy…learn people!" he said to no one in particular

Donovan was startled when a girl grabbed his arm and hauled him deeper into the shelves of books. He stumbled a bit, before steadying himself. "Woah, wait, what? Who are you?" He cringed at his statement, realizing that he really needed to socialize more… "What am I helping you with?"

"Shit what the fu-Pheobe? What do you want?" Theron said in equal surprise as Donavan

"To solve the murder of course. Why else would I allow myself to be seen with you two? But we obviously need more than just the three of us. So recruit more students and meet me in the courtyard at midnight. Don't show up and I'll make your life living hell."

Donovan put up his hands like, "slow down!". "Wait, why do you want me to help you though? In case you haven't noticed, I'm a useless social-anxietist." He stuffed his hands into his pockets and started walking away. "Look for someone more useful, not the first person you see. That's bad strategy."

He glanced over at Donavan "you might not notice this and it's not your fault, but we're not very sociable people." he glared at her "its an assassin's academy, death was bound to happen."

Solve the murder? Phoebe must've been close to Delilah if she wanted to try and figure out who killed here. Much less threaten two students into helping her. Then again Phoebe was still acting higher than them. Just as Luna decided to go and watch what would happen later tonight, the book she was holding slipped from her hand and hit the floor with a thud. She froze and quickly picked up the book. She moved to get out of that section knowing that they would have heard her.

Theron's head snapped up but said nothing as he saw Luna hide

Donovan sighed in relief when Theron seemed to understand he shrugged almost helplessly.

Ryder hadn’t heard the announcement of the murder. He was still hanging out in the band room, talking with a couple fellow band students. During the announcement, they had been practicing a piece for their concert next week.
