Behind the Scene

In the dark depths of the forest outside Jericho, in a cave hidden in the undergrowth, a sinister act is taking place.

The air inside the cave is damp and cold, and the sound of dripping water droplets echoes in the darkness. The floor is covered with a layer of slimy moss. The only light source comes from a single torch.

In the heart of the cave, a young boy lies imprisoned by rusty chains. The boy seems to be conscious, but at the same time, he is not. His gaze is empty.

In front of the boy stands a woman staring at him. The woman has fair skin, long brown hair, and brown eyes. Nevermore students would recognize her immediately. It was the kindly professor of botany, Marilyn Thornhill.

However, the professor did not have the usual friendly look and smile. She had a twisted smile on her lips and a cold, hateful look directed at Tyler. She hated outcasts.

'Finally, that damned Addams girl is at Nevermore. The prophecy didn't fail. With a few more days of torture, Hyde's brainwashing will be complete, and I'll put the plan into action,' thought Marilyn with a ghoulish grin.

"Tyler, honey. Wake up," said Marylyn, approaching the young man and squatting down.

"Mother... My head hurts," Tyler mumbled with narrowed eyes.

"I know, honey. Take this. It will make you better," Marilyn said in a kind tone, passing a glass with a greenish-colored liquid to Tyler.

She brought the glass closer to Tyler, who hesitated for a second, "No fear, son," Marilyn said in a loving tone. Tyler decided to drink it with Marilyn's help. He drank it all down.

After a few seconds, Tyler began to scream in pain. Marilyn patted his shoulders as if that would do any good, "There, there. Take it easy. You have to be strong to help Mom," Marilyn said with a slight smile.

"Yeah..." grunted Tyler, gritting his teeth and enduring the pain. After that, he lost consciousness.

'That was easier than I thought. What a weak-minded teenager' thought Marilyn, glaring at the unconscious Tyler.

She put away the drugs she was using to brainwash Tyler and heal him a bit, as she had to send him back home.

'Before I get Wednesday Addams' blood, I need outcast body parts or normies. I'll use this Hyde for that,' thought Marilyn with a slight smile. It was time to start a killing spree in Jericho.

If it were up to her, she would use outcasts, but she didn't mind assassinating normies, as it was easier. Outcasts might try to defend themselves against a Hyde and rarely leave Nevermore since it was a boarding school.

'It would be great to assassinate that arrogant boy,' thought Marilyn. The smile on her face disappeared, and there was only hatred in her eyes. An image of Luke Poe came into her head.

This outcast always made fun of her and showed no interest whatsoever in her classes. She hated him, since last year.

...

"Acho," Luke sneezed. Luckily, he managed to cover it with his arm. Otherwise, he would have soiled the girl just inches away from him.

"Are you okay?" asked a beautiful blonde girl with green eyes. The girl was completely naked, as was Luke, who wiped his nose with a handkerchief that came floating towards him.

"Someone must be talking bad about me," commented Luke, blowing his nose.

It was Saturday night. Xavier was not in the dorm as he had gone to Bianca's dorm. So Luke had the bedroom all to himself.

Ever since he experienced his first time with the normie named Emily, Luke wanted to continue to have an active sex life as much as possible. With his fame as a writer and his last name in the world of outcasts, it's not hard to find a girl who wants to sleep with him.

So here he is with a beautiful blonde student two years his senior. Her name was Kat. He only remembered it thanks to his photographic memory as he didn't care much for it.

Kat had an hourglass figure. Beautiful eyes and most of all two big melons that were more striking than her green eyes.

"Hey, don't stop. I was just climaxing," Kat said, watching as Luke wiped his nose.

"Sorry. Let me make it up to you," said Luke, returning to the action.

A while later, the carnal act was over, 'It's already two in the morning...' thought Luke, looking at the time on his cell phone.

"You better get back to your dorm," commented Luke, looking at Kat, who was hugging him and resting her head on his chest. He didn't know why women liked to do this after sex.

"I don't want to..." said Kat, hugging Luke tighter, who frowned. He didn't want Kat to come out of his bedroom tomorrow and for everyone to see her.

Security in the men's dormitories was weak. The professors hardly patrolled at all. A girl coming out of a dorm was not uncommon to see among the students. After all, Nevermore is a boarding school full of teenagers.

"I'm not giving you a choice," Luke said stubbornly.

"That's too bad... A pretty girl wants to sleep with you, and you're kicking her out. The rumors of Luke Poe's bad temper are true," said Kat with a slight smile and starting to kiss Luke.

'I don't have a bad temper...' thought Luke, reluctantly accepting Kat's kisses.

"Didn't you want to watch a movie? Now's a good time," said Kat, seeing that Luke wanted to kick her out.

"Oh, that's right. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre '74. A classic" said Luke with renewed interest. Luckily, in this world, the Texas Chainsaw Massacre was a movie that was released just like in his previous world.

He had seen this movie many times before, but it was nice to watch it and discuss the movie with someone else.

He put the movie on the huge TV in the bedroom, and they began to watch it. Thirty minutes later Kat had fallen asleep on Luke's chest.

'This girl lasted ten minutes longer than the last one,' thought Luke, slightly disappointed. With the remote, he turned off the TV and went to sleep. He wouldn't wake Kat up to kick her out. He wasn't that bastard.

He remembered the times when they had movie marathons with Enid. Neither would fall asleep, and they would enthusiastically watch the movies while eating popcorn and cuddling together.

There was no sex. Luke didn't dare try it for fear that his relationship with Enid would become awkward, but he preferred those nights with Enid a thousand times more than the ones he had with Kat or another girl these days.

The next day at about eleven noon the bedroom door opened. It was Xavier.

'Today's a different girl...' thought Xavier, looking at Luke's bed. The latter was sleeping next to a beautiful blonde who was hugging him and drooling a little.

'If he's happy,' thought Xavier, sighing internally.

Since Nevermore started, it had only been two weekends. Luke had already brought three different girls. A change he noticed from his friend compared to last year.

Luke slowly opened his eyes and saw Xavier. They both stared at each other, "This is an illusion. You'll wake up soon," Luke said, making a circular motion with his hands.

"Like I'm going to believe that, you idiot," Xavier said with a slight smile.

"Tsch," Luke clicked his tongue.

"Just use protection. I don't want you to get syphilis or something," Xavier said in a mocking tone.

"Shut up, you're not my father," Luke said, getting up. Luckily, he was wearing shorts that he put on before putting on the movie.

"Hey, wake up! It's late already!" exclaimed Luke, tactlessly shaking Kat's shoulder.

"I'm coming, I'm coming," muttered Kat sleeplessly. She rose slightly from the bed, exposing her chest. She was still naked.

Luke quickly with his telekinesis used the sheets to create a wall so Xavier wouldn't see her. He didn't want his friend to get in trouble with his toxic girlfriend, Bianca.

"What a gentleman. Thanks," Kat said with a cute smile as she noticed Luke's gesture.

'Just change and get out,' thought Luke, but he didn't say anything. He tried to control his bad temper.

"I had a great time last night. Call me later. Bye," said Kat, already dressed, kissing Luke goodbye, who nodded slightly and said nothing.

"Bye," said Kat waving to Xavier, who raised his hand somewhat shyly. The girl opened the door and left the room. After a few seconds, Xavier looked at Luke and quickly approached.

"You, bastard that's one of the most beautiful girls in the senior class! How did you get her to sleep with you!" asked Xavier, grabbing Luke by the shoulders and shaking him.

For a senior cutie to sleep with a boy two years younger than her was a very rare thing to see or almost unheard of to see.

"What? Really?" asked Luke, letting Xavier shake him. It was a good way to wake up quickly. If a little rude.

"Tsch, you damn famous and handsome writer," Xavier said with envy, albeit the good kind.

His family of psychics had a Poe-like prominence. Maybe one or two rungs below in terms of seniority and golden peak, but now his family was much more than the Poe's, who counted only one living member.

The only difference between him and Luke was his appearance. Although Xavier was confident in his appearance and was always popular, he could not be bought with Luke's looks.

Second and very important was Luke's success as a writer. Carrie had hundreds of thousands of sales, and his second novel seemed to follow the same path of success. Luke had social networks with hundreds of thousands of followers. His fame is the biggest in Nevermore.

"Don't bother, you have a girlfriend," Luke said, escaping Xavier's grip and starting to get dressed. He was hungry.

"Yeah, for now..." said Xavier. His relationship with Bianca wasn't getting better. It was only getting worse.

"Anyway, Kat Abagnale leaving your dorm will be a rumor that will soon start spreading all over Nevermore. Be prepared," added Xavier with a hand on his chin.

"Do you know her last name?" asked Luke, who didn't know Kat's last name since he hadn't asked her.

"Yeah... She's one of the hottest girls in Nevermore. All the guys know it. Don't tell Bianca," Xavier said.

"Maybe they'll think she was with you," Luke commented with a smile.

"Impossible. By leaving at this hour, it will prove that she was in your dorm all night. They all saw me coming out of the dorms heading to Bianca's" said Xavier, shaking his head.

'You do take it seriously,' Luke thought. He didn't want that rumor to spread, but there was nothing he could do about it now. He could only pray that no one had seen Kat come out of his bedroom.

"Let's go eat," Luke said without giving this any more thought.
