Characters
Ophelia Nigmos- Ophelia is a young woman who was orphaned four years ago. Since then, she has lived with her aunt Olive and is about to discover some of her darkest secrets.

Olive Specter- Olive is the creepy woman of Strangetown. She has a graveyeard in her back garden, and Ophelia is forbidden to enter...

Johnny Smith- Johnny comes from an Alien-Sim hybrid family. He has been constantly picked on by Tank Grunt, and has onnly found comfort and reassurance in his best friend, Ripp, and his girlfriend, Ophelia.

Ripp Grunt- Ripp has had it hard. His parents divorced five years ago, and 3 years ago, he lost contact with his mother. Will he ever find out why Lyla went dark on the Grunt Brothers?

Chapter 1: Why?
A lot of people would think I would be permanently depressed or reckless considering I've lost my parents. That's not the case. I'm very shy, and I prefer to stay out of people's way. People wonder why I took Johnny and Ripp under my wing. Johnny is constantly bullied, but he does the right thing and laughs it off. His parents are fully aware of the situation. Ever since we were 12, he hasn't been able to escape the bullying. Six years later, nothing's changed.

Ripp, on the other hand, comes from a military-based family. His dad is a top-ranking general in the Strangetown Army. His parents divorced when Ripp was 13, and he lost contact with his mother when he was 16. Ripp has two brothers: one younger, one older. The older brother is called Tank. Or should I say, calls himself Tank. His real name is Thomas, but the name "Tank" stuck since he joined the rugby team. Everyone started calling him Tank.

Ripp has a younger brother, William. Everyone calls him Buck, due to the fact he always had a lot of energy as a toddler. Shame that stopped a couple of years ago. Buck's gained a bit of weight since then. Buck's always received a bit of easier treatment because he's the youngest.

And Ripp's real name? Robert. How Ripp gained his name is... unique. I think it's based on an incident in school, but I never actually caught the details. Ripp's always been classed as a loser, at least, until last year.

I never actually explained why Johnny got bullied. It's because Johnny's from a half-alien family. You'd think his sister got bullied as well. She didn't get many alien genes from her dad, making her look somewhat human. Johnny, on the other hand, looks somewhat alien. But he doesn't care. He's quite proud of himself.

So when did Ripp stopped being classed as a loser? A year ago, Johnny was having a bit of a hard time in class. He was picked on again. I turned to Ripp and I saw he had he fists clenched on the desk and his face had turned bright crimson. Before I could ask what was wrong, Ripp rose from his seat, pulled the guy away from Johnny and rammed him up to a wall. Ripp stayed relatively calm. I couldn't hear what Ripp was saying, but the guy looked terrified. When Ripp turned around, he shot a geeky thumbs-up at Johnny, and a cute smile at me. Ripp's a bit of a teddy bear. Some children tend to take out their anger at their little cuddly friend. That's just like Ripp, and, just like a teddy bear, he won't hurt you back. So he's been a bit of a target for bullies. But we always support each other. That's what friends do.

Chapter 2: The Trio
I'm stepping into the school bus, and I see Johnny and Ripp together, chatting, you know, the usual. As I walk closer, I notice Ripp has a black eye and a few cuts on his face. I make some comment on how he looks a mess. "You really think this is bad?" he asks, pointing to his face. "You haven't seen most of the damage Tank has really caused." As he finishes his statement, he lifts he shirt to reveal his torso- there's a nasty shade of purple across his stomach. Johnny has stopped smiling. "He's so dead... he's so dead..." he says.

"Johnny, don't!" I say, the concern rising in my voice "You don't want to pick a fight with him! He's two years older and he will cripple you!"

"I don't care. He's given me a hard time, he picks on Ripp. I think someone needs to teach him a lesson." The rest of the bus ride involves me trying to coax Johnny out of his 'great idea'. It involves me pleading, bargaining, threatening, and much more. I don't I've changed his mind. In fact, I think it's only made him more sure to try and beat up Tank. My only hopes is Tank doesn't turn him into a little smear on the concrete.
