Hexagon

Chapter 1: Hexagon Academy

(a temporary note: I'm in the process of rewriting chapter 1-15/20. It's going to take a while. If you notice any inconsistencies between these chapters, it's probably because I haven't gotten around to rewriting that part yet)

When transferring to the prestigious Hexagon Academy, she hadn't expected any of this. Darkness lurks behind every corner, hidden behind the eyes of many students dictated by the underground fight ring. With a target on her back, along with those she cares about, will Cinderheart survive her first year?

That being said, this story is utterly crazy in more ways than one. So young viewers (13 and younger) beware, and know exactly what you are getting yourself into.

So WARNING: THIS IS IMPORTANT! Young readers read at your own risk, it's rated teen for a reason. And those reasons are as follows:

~ Blood

~ Lots of Violence (Around the cavity inducing fluff and confusion filled chaos going on)

~Perverted innuendos and comments that are generally of a sexual nature (no lemons/smut/whatever though, this is still rated teen. Plus the characters are underage and that's just weird)

~Swearing and foul language. No racial of homophobic slurs, ever, period. I don't want to see any of that in reviews either guys. Please keep it civil down there.

~ Character death…who the unfortunate victims are, you'll have to read to find out XD

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. If any of these things bother you, this probably isn't your story. If you choose to read on anyway, please don't go complaining to me if you get offended, because chances are, you'll be ignored.

A massive thank you to Tigercry for helping me with the warnings. I made it sound like it was going to be a murderfest (it's not, I promise)

If you're still here after all that, welcome! So I've been seeing a lot of this kind of fic out there, so I decided to give it a shot, with my own spin of course. It's set in the year 2064, in the fictional European country of Briox. In case you're wondering why I completely made up a country, here we go:

-Briox, the country in which this story for the most part takes place, represents the home of the Clans

-Pruick, the neighboring country and the homeland for Fallen Leaves and Half Moon, represents the home of the Tribe of Rushing Water

Anyway, please enjoy! Reviews are always greatly appreciated :D

Let's get on with the fic, shall we?

...

Cinderheart's POV:

I stepped forward, glancing behind me. I wasn't ready for this. My mother was struggling to keep her face blank and expressionless, but the silent tears pricking in the corners of her sapphire blue eyes gave her away. I turned away, and faced the azure beam of light that extended to somewhere above the clouds.

Suddenly, a warm arm snaked around me, and held me close. It was my mother. The barriers had finally broken, her tears flowing freely down her cheeks. She pressed a white, imposing looking envelope into my hands.

"Don't lose it", she said urgently. She gave me a light kiss on the cheek. "Stay safe."

Taking a deep breath, I stepped uncertainly toward the beam of light. Okay, Cinderheart. Pull yourself together. I stepped into the light and immediately felt as if I had been doused in a bucketful of icy water. For several long seconds, nothing happened. Terror overtook my mind. What if something was wrong with me?

Violetpaw had begun to cry again, and my mother began to comfort her when the world around me began to spin. I caught a glimpse of the surly security guards shoving my family toward the exit. The spinning began to speed up, the world morphed together like an azure blur.

The streaks of blue light burned in my eyes, and slowly, very slowly, I felt my feet lifting off the ground. It was a peculiar feeling. I felt like I was experiencing weightlessness, a perfect silence, an everlasting calm. I felt no stress, no fear. The uncomfortable cold that had been prickling at my skin had long since faded away. Even the spinning, as well as the burning in my eyes that had been caused by the bright light, didn't bother me anymore.

What felt like hours later, the spinning began to slowly slacken, and once it had stopped, I found myself stumbling onto a shaggy white rug. I was in a circular room without windows, the wall space instead occupied by many colorful works of art. The floor, on the other hand was made completely out of reinforced glass.

I looked down, and felt my breath hitch in my throat with sheer amazement. Through many wisps of clouds, I could see the world sprawled out below me like some massive technicolor map.

"Spectacular, isn't it?" I jumped and turned around. There was a woman sitting primly at her desk behind me, donning a calm, professional smile. She was very pretty, impeccably dressed in a dark blue blazer with her hair brushed into a flawless blond curtain.

"Good morning" , she greeted me, her cool expression warming up into a more welcoming smile.

For Star's sake, even her voice was elegant. She spoke in the poshest British accent I'd ever heard.

"My name is Mistystar, and I'm the head of the River sector. Could I please see that envelope?"

I swiftly handed her the envelope. Mistystar slit open the envelope, before retrieving from it, a small, pale blue USB flash drive.

That's it? I thought.

Mistystar didn't seem to think that there was anything missing. She plugged it in, and scrolled through the contents. As soon as she had finished reading, about 3 minutes later, she tucked the phone under her ear. "Hello? Good morning to you too. We have a new Thunder student, would you please come down to my office to pick her up? Mhm? Yes. That's right. Thank you."

Mistystar flashed me another brilliant smile. "Firestar will be down in a minute, hon", she informed me. "He's going to show you around and help you a bit."

I didn't have to wait long, because several minutes later, a man, around 40, with neat red hair and beard entered the room. He had a wide, friendly face and broad shoulders. I found myself liking him immediately.

"Good morning", he said to me with a smile, and shook my hand. "I'm Firestar, the head of Thunder. It's a pleasure to meet you." "I'm Cinderheart", I introduced myself. Mistystar handed him the flash drive, and gave me two pieces of paper. "That's a map and your schedule. The map should help you find your classes. I'll see you around!" She waved goodbye as we left her office and sat back down at her desk.

Firestar guided me along a hallway, the walls of which were lined with doors. "This is the Central Sector", he explained. "Here we have the main office, as well as the auditorium, the fitness center, and the hospital." He led me around a curve, and through an automatic door.

I was shocked by what I saw next. I was standing in a hall, but this was no ordinary hall. It was suspended it the air. I glanced out of the massive, floor length windows, and saw that the shape of the school fit its name.

Floating in the air, completely unsupported were seven, massive circular segments, six of which formed a gigantic hexagon in the air, with the Central Sector floating in the middle of it all. The sectors were connected by glass hallways just like the one I was standing in. Firestar joined me by the windows.

"That is the Thunder Sector." He pointed ahead, on the other end of the hall. "It's where we're heading now. Next to the Thunder Sector is the Wind Sector, then the River Sector- and the Shadow Sector is across from the Thunder Sector. Over there are the Star and Dark sectors."

He turned to look me square in the face. "The Dark Sector is off-limits. You'd do well to stay far away from it. Come along." I followed Firestar reluctantly. There were still a lot of questions I wanted answered.

"I'll show you to your dorm", he explained. "Your roommate will probably be at breakfast when we arrive. Take that time to unpack and get comfortable. Your luggage has already been sent up to your room."

He guided me around a corner and stopped in front of the door. This door, like every other one, had a glowing blue screen next to it. Firestar plugged the flash drive into a slit above it, and within seconds, my data began showing up on the screen.

After several minutes of furious typing, Firestar turned back to me. He instructed me to press my hand against the screen. It only took the computer a few seconds to analyze the details on my hand, and the doors automatically slid open.

As I looked at my new home, my jaw dropped in awe. Two modern style beds had been pressed against the window, following the curve of the wall, the sheets an electric blue. The carpet and curtains matched the beds. There was a pair of walk in closets and two desks on either side of the door.

"Do you want me to show you the other sectors as well or do you want to explore them on your own?", Firestar asked me. "I'll be fine on my own, thank you for asking though." Firestar smiled at me, gave me a pat on the back, and left. I sat down on my bed. Might as well unpack.

Blossomfall's POV:

I entered the Dining Hall for breakfast and immediately scanned the tables for my friends. I saw them quickly, perched on bar stools at one of the high tables. We had gotten lucky, this one was at the window and had a spectacular view. Seated were Hollyleaf, Honeyfern, Poppyfrost, Hazeltail ...and Dovewing, who was in the middle of a rambling, long winded story about her sister. How fucking wonderful.

Sure enough, the catty platinum blond was telling anyone who would listen yet another story about her twin sister, Ivypool. Over the course of the past few months, the poor girl had become a school disgrace and social outcast. Much of Ivypool's fall from grace had been Dovewing's doing, as she spread rumors and planted fear among the students.

Through Dovewing's work, it became common knowledge that Ivypool was a former Dark Forest R-Fighter. The Dark Forest was a "secret" fight ring type gang, centered in the Dark sector. The gang had gained much of its members from the student body directly. They regularly preyed on the most emotionally vulnerable, pulling them in to become Recruited Fighters, R-Fighters for short. These recruits were trained to fight, taught new skills to work under Brokenstar and carry out the dirty work.

Just how many students were part of Brokenstar's army was impossible to know. Everyone kept their so-called "membership" a secret, fearing not just Brokenstar's gruesome punishments, but also the public shaming that Ivypool had to endure. Many tried to leave. Very few managed.

Ivypool had, though. She had been high ranking, and one of the most feared fighters in the Dark Forest. She had betrayed Brokenstar. No one knew exactly what she had done, because she refused to talk about it. Instead of maiming or killing her, Brokenstar humiliated her, and left her in the middle of the school for other students to find. From there, the rumors had spread like wildfire.

I found it funny, how the Hexagon heads, Bluestar, Firestar, Mistystar, Blackstar, and Onestar all thought they were the ones in charge, when it was really Brokenstar who held all the strings.

Brokenstar had once been one of the heads. Things had gone downhill fast, and after plotting an assassination attempt on Headmistress Bluestar, he had been imprisoned in the Dark sector with all of accomplices, where they had come together and formed the Dark Forest.

I always wondered, what Bluestar had been thinking, shutting a bunch of evil people in a sector together. I mean, there was bound to be trouble.

The other heads hadn't actually agreed when Bluestar had made her decision, but Bluestar hadn't wanted to hear it. Hexagon Academy had a reputation to uphold, it had never expelled anyone, and by the way things were going, I doubted there was going to be an actual expulsion anywhere in the near future. Anyone who got worse than a detention could count on being stuck in the Dark Sector for the rest of their school days.

By now, my friends had managed to shut Dovewing up. I exchanged a glance with Honeyfern, my message clear. Who invited HER? Honeyfern rubbed her neck apologetically, and then made a motion as if promising to explain later.

Attempting to lighten the dampened mood, Hollyleaf changed the subject. "I don't know if I mentioned it already, but I'm getting a roommate." Poppyfrost practically leaped forward across the table to look at Hollyleaf.

"No!", the redhead exclaimed. "What's her name? When is she getting here?"

The other girls were definitely paying attention now. A new student at Hexagon Academy was pretty rare. "So Firestar came to me a couple of days ago, and said that a new girl got accepted, and since I'm in a double room without a roommate, that she will be moving into my room."

This caught the attention of Berrynose, who had been walking by.

"A new girl, huh?", he mused, resting his elbows on the table. "I hope she's hot."

His sister Hazeltail rolled her eyes. "As if you're not already getting chased by enough girls, you perv." She nodded to the neighboring table, where sure enough, a group of giggling freshman girls was making moon eyes at him.

Honeyfern snorted. "If we're talking about chick magnets, there's Lionblaze. Heathertail practically ate his face in the middle of the Dining Hall earlier. Apparently some other girls were 'getting a little too close'." She scoffed, not even bothering to hide her disdain for Heathertail, Hexagon's resident "Queen Bee".

Hollyleaf stood up, and slung her bag over her shoulder. "Sorry y'all, I need to bail. I left my ID card in my room. I'll see you later."

...

Hollyleaf's POV:

I headed out the door, and almost ran into my brother, Lionblaze. Even I have to admit he's good looking. A toned body, strawberry blond hair with golden highlights, and amber eyes. Sure enough, he and Heathertail were pressed into a corner, swapping spit.

Heathertail is gorgeous, with her almost pixie-ish heart shaped face, smoky blue eyes, ridiculously long lashes, and silky flaxen hair. She's got curves in all the right places and wears only the finest clothes.

Her personality is about on the same level of toxicity as gaboon viper venom. Both are extremely poisonous. And very, very deadly.

Lionblaze and Heathertail. Hexagon's "power couple". The most popular guy and the most popular girl. A match made in StarClan, right? Hah.

Lionblaze didn't seem to notice my scorn at all. He just gave me a small smile of acknowledgement, and went right on sucking face with her. I stomped off, my good mood completely ruined. I wished my brother would dump her hoe ass and find someone better for him. She didn't deserve him.

Still on the verge of boiling over with anger, I reached my room. I pressed my palm against the lockscreen, and the doors automatically opened. I threw my bag onto my desk with its neatly labelled drawers and pens and pencils in individual jars.

Only there was already someone in the room, sprawled out on the vacant bed, looking exhausted. She looked about 15, with long, platinum silver hair and very tan skin. Her blond roots were growing in a bit, but I couldn't exactly blame her, not with how stressful it was to get into Hexagon.

I coughed politely, trying to make my presence known, and the girl instantly sat up. I immediately knew who she was. Firestar told me I might be getting a roommate.

I'd never really wanted a roommate. I liked my privacy, knowing where everything was. I liked having the whole room to myself, and not having to clean up after others. I had to share a room with my brother once, and he's a world-class slob. His side of the room had constantly looked like it had been bombed. Because I hated the mess so much, it was always me who had to clean up.

"Hey, I'm Hollyleaf."
