Since have humans walked the earth, so have other creatures; creatures that most believe to only exist in myth. Creatures like vampires, demons, werewolves, witches, shape-shifters, fairies, and elves. It’s not really known which came first, for it was too long ago to remember and anyone alive then is now dead, and they didn’t even leave a ghost for anyone to ask. Ghosts weren’t around since the beginning, they came after the first person died (human is what is believed). Though not everyone or everything that dies becomes a ghost, only those who choose to, become one. Choosing to become a ghost is rare, most don’t choose that path for themselves, but even rarer than that is the times when all the species have gotten along. To this day, there have only been three periods of time that there has been peace between them all. The most recent of those three periods was just around 500 years ago, when a special school was built for all the species to come and learn at. It was built as a kind of peace treaty among the species, a place for them to all live in harmony, for a certain period of time at least. The school was called Forevermore Academy.
The peace treaty didn’t last for that long though, soon the kids in the school were fighting which broke the treaty. The teachers tried to bring the students back together, but they did so in a way which some believe made things worse, while others think it was genius. They deiced to get a group of students, at least one from each species, even a ghost, and have them kill off the trouble makers, in whatever way that they pleased. And they wouldn’t get in trouble for it. It was suppose to make the students stick together so that they wouldn’t be the ones killed off and to stop the ones causing trouble among the species, and in a way, it worked. But like all things, nothing works out exactly as planned. Some kids decided to fend for themselves and actually started causing more problems, but they were quickly killed off. The group of kids in charge of the killings fashioned themselves the name of ‘The Execution Squad’.
Since then the killings have turned into more of a game, and there is always and Execution Squad roaming the halls, but no one ever knows who they are. If someone does find out one of their true identities, they are either killed or scared into not telling anyone. Though the only ones who ever find out are ones that actually survive the game, since that’s what it’s been called for a while now. It’s a game for those that don’t value living, who are causing too much trouble, or someone on the Execution Squad just doesn’t like, play for their life. It’s extremely rare that someone survives the games, for they normally have to do something that they would never want to do and they die instead of doing whatever it is that they don’t want to do. Humans tend to die the most though, for they are the ones normally chosen, even if they do make up the smallest percentage of the school.
Everyone knows about the games, even if it’s not something they tell you upon arrival. And it’s definitely not in the little school pamphlet that you get when you enroll. No, they want people to come to their school, and telling them that they might not make it out alive isn’t a way to get them to come to the school. Here at Forevermore Academy, it’s a whole different high school. Its life or death, and you might just be stuck here forevermore.
