My entry! Hope you enjoy!
Crunch.
Crunch.
Rosemary Jackson slowly took steps through the Half-Blood Forest. It was Halloween Night. The younger half-bloods were trick-or-treating the dorms, and the older half-bloods were hosting costume parties. Despite the usually fun night, Rosemary knew she was making a bad decision going out in the forest. For all she knew the assassins could still be out there, and they were the reasons she was a shy, scared girl again.
Her hands were shaking. Her palms were sweating. She wiped her opposite palms to their opposite back hands, but her attempts were failing, and she was still sweating rain from her palms.
Rosemary heard a leaf crunch up ahead, and she stopped, paralyzed in place. Who was it? Was it an assassin? Was it a human? Was it a fellow half-blood? Feeling daring in the moment, she took a few steps closer.
“Heh... Heh... Hello?” She stuttered upon her words as she looked in the darkness. But luckily, the moon was out that night, and it cast a glow on the person. Getting a better glimpse, she saw familiar black hair and a white T-shirt. It was Adam, no doubt.
“Adam! Adam!” She called as she rushed towards him. Getting closer and closer, she was ready to pull him into a hug. Rosemary was desperate to see him- all the drama at the Academy was making her overwhelmed, and she knew the love of her life would make her relaxed, and possibly happier.
She was just a foot away from him when she stopped, paralyzed. She was close enough to see his face now, and it was horrific. The corners of his mouth were slit so if he opened them he would have a Chelsea smile. His eyes were black, oozing black blood.
Rosemary screamed, and Adam did the most horrible thing she could possibly imagine. He opened his mouth as wide as he could, giving him a disgusting, bloody Chelsea smile.
Then he disappeared in thin air.
A bright white light blinded Rosemary for exactly five seconds, but after that she could see again. But this time, she wasn’t in the forest, she was in the hospital.
Glancing around her, she saw she was on a hospital bed, with an IV line in her forearm. Using her free hand, she lifted the blanket that was on her to see she was wearing a light blue hospital gown. Panic soon arose in her and she screamed.
A panicked Claire Blakely rushed into the room. “Rosemary, calm down.” She said to her. "You're safe... You're fine... You're just in the hospital."
“What happened to me? Why am I in the hospital?” She blurted, not at all reassured by Claire’s words. She hadn’t the slightest clue what had happened to her to get her in the hospital.
“You remember nothing?” Judging by Claire’s facial expression, Rosemary could tell she was shocked. “Last night, around midnight, you were screaming and going insane in your dorm, shattering belongings and furniture in the process. With the help of some of your friends, I took you here, and checked to see if you had any injuries. There were slits at the corners of your mouth, which had ripped a little due to your screaming. I knocked you out using sleeping gas, and I sewed up the corners. Just be careful when you’re talking and eating, and I’ll give you some painkillers you should take for the next week or two.”
“But, you didn’t leave your dorm at all last night. And nobody came into your dorm besides your dorm mates, and they tell me they didn't interact with you at all. If you don’t mind me asking, how did you get the slits on the corners of your mouth?”

Adam Griffin::If you are doing more than one entry, it can't be about the same subject. That means that either your entire 6 parts will need to be in the same post, or you will need to only do that one part and remove the "part 1 of 6"

My gosh Claire I'm blushing-
//cracks fingers// Nah man I'm not in for the prizes, but doing something I love because I love doing it and apparently you want me to? Alrighty.
Ahem.
That "Liam" guy was weird. Very weird.
Ally didn't care. She'd seen him around school, even tried talking to him, but he still seemed to keep away from the big social circles. Maybe he was just shy, but...nah. He was just avoiding everyone. Anyone who was shy would keep quiet and stay still to avoid being noticed, but whenever anyone came close to Liam he moved away from them. He was pretty good at making it casual, but at this point Ally-the-redhead felt like she had him all figured out.
She slammed her locker door shut and put an intimidating frown on her face. She wanted to know who this guy was and she would find out. She had a plan all figured out. The girl walked up to Liam while he wasn't looking and tapped him on the back. The (rather tall) teen gave a small jump at the touch, but turned around and gave her a look that seemed both nervous and curious.
"Saturday. 7:00. Old shack in Shady Woods. Be there." She handed him a small invitation. Hesitantly he looked at it.
"...I don't know, I'm not really-"
"No excuses. Be there or I'll make you."
"I don't think I can-"
"Too bad. You're coming."
Liam's frown deepened, but eventually after realizing Ally would not give up, he relented.
"...okay," he nodded.
"Good."
And that was how the day went.
Saturday came, Liam came, and for a while it was the two of them being stupid teenagers at some creepy party in the middle of the woods. What could go wrong?
Ally was just thinking to herself that Liam actually seemed like a pretty cool guy. He was...admittedly rather easy on the eyes. He had wavy dark brown hair and these...beautiful brownish amber eyes. Eventually he had warmed up, especially after they found that they both were interested in stuff like myths, strange creatures, the supernatural, and the like.
Ally would ask about a creature, Liam would say whether he liked them or not, they'd talk about their theories and such about said creature, and then move on.
"Hmm...what about vampires?"
"They're okay, I guess. I feel like they're misrepresented though. Why would the sun even hurt them that much? It just doesn't make any sense."
"Good point."
And that was how the night went.
However soon the hours started rolling away, and more than once Ally caught Liam looking outside, almost fearfully. He was checking his watch, with every passing moment he seemed to be getting more nervous. Ally tried to keep the conversation casual, though she could tell that Liam seemed to be in some sort of hurry. What was his rush, anyway?
"Werewolves?" she asked.
"I...sorry, I really need to go-" Liam started to walk away, faster than Ally had seen him before, but she couldn't let him. She was just starting to figure out what kind of guy he was, who he was, and she wanted to at least break up the conversation on a better note. However when she looked back around after setting her glass of punch (no, they were not drinking illegally, despite being in an abandoned shed illegally) down he had already gotten through the crowd-
She looked out the window and wait- he was already outside?!
"Excuse me, pardon me, sorry," Ally pushed her way through the mob of stupid teenagers, somehow managing to make her way towards the door and out just in time to see Liam taking a turn into the woods.
"Hey! Stupid! The town is that way!" she called as she followed him. "...what an idiot. He's going to get us both lost."
He kept running, and she followed the flicker of his shadow in the trees, finally stopping in a small clearing.
...Liam wasn't there, at least, not in plain sight, but she had the unnerving sense that something was very...very...wrong.
"Liam! You here?" she asked.
She heard a twig break nearby, and her head snapped to look in the place where the sound had come from. She was met with two glowing amber eyes...and she heard a low growl.
"...Liam?"
She'd found him.
The wolf snarled.
Ally screamed.
She didn't make it home that night.
In the distance you could hear a wolf howling.

:\ don't know how to follow that. Let me try... At first, people thought that they were fake. It was just an urban legend, a campfire story, fiction.
Alas, they are real. It's just very difficult to know if someone was one. Oh, excuse me, I'd better explain what they actually are. Harlequins, are a vast number of people, who have the ability to win at every card game. No matter what. Sure, that sounds harmless, but that was just the beginning. Harlequins are also very athletic. Athletic meaning very nimble, swift, fast, as well as being very strong. Still sounds harmless? Well, picture this: Let's say a Harlequin is born, and when it grows up, they turn into a supervillain. They turn into invincible, and somewhat charming, villains. I bet you think I'm making this up, which I'm not. Every city/town has its own Harlequin. Maybe one of the most famous Harlequins, The Joker, resides in Gotham City. The Queen of Hearts, in Wonderland. And in Hillsford, is R.U.N. You've never heard of him? Well, he's probably one of the most bloodthirsty Harlequins, if not the most. Let's talk about his story. Rowan Ulincy Neal was a quiet young boy. Yet, he was amazing in school. From athletics to academics, Rowan was quite the model student. He even had good looks. There was just one flaw about him: He was bullied. Rowan always kept his hair in his face, and technically was a nerd. He had glasses, a strange birthmark on his neck (it was the shape of a spade, much like one in playing cards), and was a "freak" because of his strange strength in Physical Education (Rowan looked like a wimpy kid). Somehow, Rowan was fine with this until his first year of college. A student had tripped him, and Rowan fell into a tub of fake blood. Sure, he knew the tub was there, but he had tried to go around the tub, and then was tripped. A furious Rowan stood up, and said in a booming voice, "You...You-Everyone will pay for what you've done to me!" Everyone thought he was just joking, or that he wouldn't do such a thing. But, he was never so serious about something until now. A couple of friends went out to dinner one night, two couples, rather. In one of the couples was the guy who tripped him. Atop a building, Rowan narrowed his eyes. He had to get rid of him somehow. With two knives hidden up his sleeves, as well as his staff, with a hidden sword within the staff. He was ready to make sure that bloke wished he'd never been born. Rowan had made sure that the waiter of the couples would give the boy a small letter, stating for him to come to the building...or else. About an hour later, the college student was on the roof of the building. Rowan came out of the shadows in his card suit, an angry expression upon his face. The boy who tripped him, Tom, started laughing. "You look ridiculous!" were Tom's final words. Rowan had killed him in the blink of an eye. So that society would know who he was, he carved in his initials into Tom's face, R.U.N. |

YAY
alright, here's my item idea:
The 6th Collector coin: The Ruby Adoration Collector Coin
Colored at a bright red, this coin is very powerful. Whoever posseses the coin, will have the ability to control another living being's love interest. On the coin is an engraved heart, with diligite, the latin word for love, engraved inside the heart.
