~No one's p.o.v~

It was the morning of the horrible news. A student was killed and eaten in one of the lecture halls of Cherryton Academy. Most of the students knew who it was and some did not, but the only question was; Who would do this and why? Tem the alpaca, will be greatly missed by his fellow students and family, but the one person who was deeply affected was Izumi.

~Izumi's p.o.v~

I laid in my bed with fresh tears falling down my face after I received the news. My oldest and bestest friend, Tem, was dead and eaten by a carnivore. My heart was completely shattered since I had just seen him yesterday. I looked up when I felt Kiara's hand on my back. I hug her tightly as I start to cry. "I know, hun.. I know.." I hear her whisper as she rubs my back.  I look up at her and wipe away my tears after Kiara gave me a tissue. Soon my phone started ringing and I could already guess who it was. I picked up my phone and pulled it away from my ear as I hear my mother shouting. It wasn't a mad shouting more like a worried and scared shouting. "You are coming home this instant, Izumi!", I hear my mother shout which shocked both myself and Kiara. Soon I hear my father take the phone from my mom. "Pumpkin, are you okay?", I hear my dad ask with worry in his tone. "I'm okay dad. I can't believe this has happened to Tem.." "I know, but your mother and I are worried about your safety. Before we make any arrangements, I want to ask you; Do you want to come home and do a private tutor or do you want to stay at Cherryton Academy?" 

I stopped for  minute to think about this. Do I really want to go home or do I want to stay here and have an adventure? I look at Kiara as she has a sad smile on her face as she hugs me gently. I hug her back before looking at her phone. "Dad, I want to stay here and continue my studies." "Alright, Izumi, but if you change your mind, call me and I will come get you ASAP, ok?" I smiled and agreed with him before hanging up.

~Kiara's p.o.v.~

When I first found out, I was beyond terrified. One of the students I see almost every day, hunted and eaten . Its a scary feeling and my dad was worried about my safety too. Before I even came to school, I had trained with my dad on how to deal with creeps when I am the school.  He even tried to give me a cross bow of my own to keep on me at all time. I politely decline the offer, but I do carry pepper spray and taser.

~Kiara's p.o.v.~

Hello all! My name is Kiara and I am an adorable panda with a flower mark over my left. My father, Gohin, is the back alley "doctor" for the Black Market  for carnivores. My mother  wanted me to go with her because she thought I shouldn't be around all of that chaos, but my father said he will watch over me and make sure I am same. He kept his word and made sure I was safe and sound. I am in the same year as my roommate, Izumi, which means we can help each other out when we are doing homework. I  have made lot of friends here on campus. One of best friends is Haru, a snow white dwarf rabbit, who is also the president of the Garden Club. Since I have been here, I have developed a crush on the Louis, the most popular student and head of the drama department at Cherryton Academy. I feel like he doesn't notice me even though we have the same classes together. One day I'm going to get him to notice me.

~Back to Kiara's p.o.v.~

I had already gotten a call from my dad and told him I want to stay also, but he told me that he will be bringing me my crossbow this afternoon even though I begged him not to. I hugged Izumi after she got off the phone and smiled happily. I asked if she wanted to go look around to help clear her mind of what happened and smiled when she agreed Soon we left our room dressed in her uniforms to go out, but as we reached our dorm room's main door way, we could hear students talking about the murder ad the immediately blamed the carnivores on campus for this. "Hey! Do not start blaming others on campus! We don't know what happened so you can't start blaming others if you don't have any proof!" I watched the girls walk away in a hurry after I yelled at them

~Meanwhile~

~Legoshi's p.o.v.~

I was shocked and saddened once I heard about Tem's murder. I wanted to know who did it and why. I picked up the sound of Kiara yelling as I looked towards the two. My tail wagged a bit when I see Izumi with her. I thought after what happened her parents would come and get her to take her home. I guess she decided to stay here which is good because I can get to know. Without them noticing, I followed them up to the school's garden club. My tail wags more when I see Haru. I have had crush on her for a while, but I never acted on my feelings.

So far you have met Izumi and Kiara, experienced a terrible murder and will get to meet the infamous Haru and lone wolf Legoshi... But what will happen when a certain wolf starts to fall for two different females.
