The Last Star

It was dreadful.

At the moment, I wasn't keeping a low profile.

I didn't want to be too transparent because I was already a member of this party that was treated like royalty.

How do they not conduct research and discover that I did not exist on Earth until just yesterday? I'm going to go home, change, and sleep. This is much too much action for me in a single day. I wasn't prepared to lose this challenge just because these people thought I was deserving of membership in their club.

I went home and changed my clothes. I leapt onto my bed and stood there, staring at the stars. I'm curious as to how they're doing. My manual is on my nightstand, so I reach for it.

It was published.

You've most likely entered the Camsels by now. You get a minus for not following my orders to keep a low profile.

But how did it know? Was it able to hear my thoughts? Trevor assured me that this manual would assist me during my stay here, and that the same manual was provided to everyone.

When I awoke, I realized that everything that had happened in the previous scene had been a dream. When I asked for the manual, I was told the same thing.

You've most likely entered the Camsels by now. You get a minus for not following my orders to keep a low profile.

It felt so real that I was breathing heavily and worrying about how it happened.

I changed into my school uniform and went to class. When I inquired about the Camsels, one of the students replied,

What are Camsels, exactly? I'm not familiar with them; maybe they attend a different school?

I was almost certain that I was a student at Blithens High School, not almost, but FOR SURE! I took a few steps out to the front and examined the school sign.

Blithens High

I was correct, I am in Blithens High, and it was at that point that I thought maybe I was in a parallel universe. Maybe it was only a dream and it didn't exist?

Maybe I was expecting the worst. I was almost at the music room, or should I say, La Luna Suite, as I strolled through the corridors. I noticed the Camsels as I walked around the room. It wasn't the La Luna Suite, though; instead, it was a regular music room.

They were seated in a circle, singing a church song.

When I walk in, I introduce myself and inquire about their names.

What's your name, Kienel? I inquire. He introduces himself as Kienel Andrews, and they introduce themselves.

I was perplexed as to why they didn't add Camsel to the end of their names.

I sit in the circle with them since they invited me.

Tristine expresses herself.

Oh Hades, we present Blithens High's Selene Jones. Our newest addition to the team, as well as your new disciple. We serve her soul and spirit because she will carry out your orders to the letter, even though it means death.

They all say the same thing at the same time.

Death is unavoidable.

They didn't stop chanting until I was finished. I skipped class and returned an hour later.

As I walked through the corridors, I saw the Camsels passing by.

Wasn't it just an hour ago that they didn't exist? This is a bizarre situation.

This was perplexing and out of the ordinary. I've been through a lot and want to seek professional assistance, but I had to finish the mission on my own.

It was brutally frank about how difficult it was to blend in and act "human."

I wasn't able to keep going any longer; I was lonely and in desperate need of assistance.

I walk by the walls with only two books from the library, both about the moon. I wanted to see what they had discovered about us and my species, but as I read through them, I realized they didn't know much.

I was walking past a room when I heard a guitar and recognized a voice; I stopped, retraced my steps, and discovered Kienel playing the guitar; I stood outside the door watching him. Someone tripped and accidentally pushed me, causing the doors to open, and I ended up on the floor. As I was getting up, I felt a presence, and looked up to see the Camsels

Good day, Selene. Hello there, it's been a long time since we've seen each other. Would you like to come along for the ride?

I get up.

Fast forward one minute.

We sit in a circle while Verixana Blossom fixes her makeup. Kienel adjusting his guitar and Martin taking pictures of the birds and trees outside the window.

Tristine sighs, seemingly annoyed.

Ugh! Can we stop this charade? It's f*cking boring! I have a pilates session this afternoon and a dinner date with some guy I met on Tinder! If you all don't say anything I WILL SHOVE MY ARROWS THROUGH YOUR ESOPHAGUS!

She sighs then acts cutely and innocent.

Where were we again?

Everyone put down their stuff like they weren't even shocked.

Verixana speaks.

The reason we basically kidn*pped you is because we thought you were the unmasked.

I was perplexed as to what she meant.

The unmasked? What's that? Some superstition?

I ask her myself.

She grunts and tells me.

Is this girl stupid? The unmasked is a killer that 'caused a murder spree all throughout the town!

It's so exhausting trying to explain basic information to a..

She looks at me, judging.

to a thirft store barbie, this girl ain't even know how to spy properly!

Tristine cuts Verixana.

Are you finished? You look like a cheap as* version of Ariana Grande.

Verixana gets angry and says.

You want to start a fight? I'll give you a f*cking fight!

Chaos ensues, slapping, screaming and various hairpins flying in the air.

The boys preventing the two.

Tori vandalizing the wall of the room.

I sit, confused, everything was muted and was in slow-mo. It was dreadful.
