Music is always a good way out of anything anyone could desire.

Angry? Turn up the music.
Sad? Turn up the music.
Happy? Turn up the music.
Anything? Turn up the music.

Music works wonders, plain and simple. In a city called "Rhythm," music is all that matters. People go in to learn, and leave once they've been taught. Bands play every night, parties carry on till the sun comes up, and there is always a light on somewhere.Get used to the cigarette smoke, the filth, and the constant noise. People do come here to learn about music, but they don't really leave when they've learned; they're stuck. The only way out is through music. You gotta make your name big. It's just that, that no one ever does that, no one can get out once in.

Some have given up hope, some still try. End the end, you won't make it, so don't bother. You'll never be famous, you'll never be rich, and you might not even live to see tommorow.

Welcome to Rhythm, the city of music, the city of false hope, and the city of nothing.

Bianca Olivier is a sixteen year old girl, now living at Evernight Academy with her parents, who took jobs as teachers at the academy. The young girl knows she doesn't belong here, but her parents keep insisting that she will come around, that Bianca will fit in and see that everything will turn out for the better. Bianca doesn't want what her parents feel is "good for her", she believes that her parents don't know what is right for her. The young girl decides that she is going to run away from the academy and head back to her home town, where all of her friends are at and where she feels that she fits in.

As Bianca tries to make her way through the forest, she see's someone else within the shadow's of the trees; she starts to run, but little does she know, the man is faster and catches up to her, tackling her to the ground. After finding out that it was all a misunderstanding, Bianca comes to meet a new student just like her name Lucas Ross, a human student attending Evernight Academy. The little time they got to spend with one another, Bianca felt a connection with Lucas.

Little did Bianca or the rest of the academy knew that there was something else different about Lucas; the young boy belonged to a group called Black Cross, a bunch of vampire hunters out to destroy all vampires in the world. Lucas was sent to Evernight in order to figure out why Mrs. Bethany was allowing human students to attend the academy after so many decades of it only being opened to vampires and only them.

* * *

Evernight Academy was built as a sanctuary for vampires, a place where they could come to be with their fellow vampires and become up-to-date with the world around them. Mrs. Bethany, the headmistress, has now decided to allow human students to attend the academy. Many of the vampires do not like this change at all and most won't even acknowledge the humans at all. This change to the academy can either become a disaster or it could be a change for the better.

Lucas Ross believes Bianca to be a mere human just like himself and others attending the academy. He knows that her parents are vampires and believe they kidnapped her to have her has their own child. But little does Lucas know that Bianca is in fact a vampire, or at least, almost a one; born to two vampires.

How will you join this academy? Be the "Evernight Academy type", such as a vampire and not care for the humans around you, or will you be a mere human that has been accepted into the academy, where you know things are not right. Or will you be in the Black Cross; out to destroy all vampires, no matter who they are?

Morgan Parish, age 16, was found dead on the floor of her family's home that night after coming home from her therapy session with Dr. Richard Ollin. Dr. Ollin shot himself the next day, and a memorial was erected in the center of the city to commemorate him and his countless contributions to the city in the field of psychiatric care.

Welcome to Angrid.

There are no vampires in Angrid, no werewolves, no deranged men in masks looking to knock off as many people as they can with a chainsaw because they were abused as children. All of these come with ready explanation, however detached from the general perception of reality they are. What happens in Angrid cannot be explained.

Some refer to it as a presence, some call it evil, but whatever it is, it has the people of Angrid living in constant fear that they or someone they love will be the next to die. These are not natural deaths, though the authority in Angrid will tell you otherwise. A series of unfortunate and bizarre accidents account for the high death rate in the town, they say.




Black tongues speak faster than the car can crash
You supply the rumours
And I'll provide the wrath



There are people who say they can see the future, and then there are the people of Angrid who are subject to fantastical visions of their death in its entirety. In this town, trust does not exist and most stand alone to face their fate and the things that go bump in the night. The visions remain unspoken among families in which children fear being sent to the asylum if they confess what they see to their parents. It is a culture of constant terror, a culture of unadulterated fear, a culture that needs change.

There is a mutual agreement among the adults that life should be carried on as normal- a feat easier for those who have yet to be affected by tragedy, but a feat all aspire to achieve. Some are more skeptical than others when it comes to the policy, but what choice do they have? If it wasn't for the tiny bit of order they forced down their children's throats, Angrid would be a wasteland of chaos. No need to go about losing one's head when it might very well be severed off that night, right?




Romance is breaking every heart in two
Casting shadows in the pale shade of blue



As if this wasn't enough for the citizens to deal with, a new discovery has rippled throughout the community ever since Richard Ollin's death. It seems the dead have a habit of coming back. What to do about this, no one knows, but the Police Department has begun issuing a new series of policies for the town to follow in regards to curfew, school schedules, and nightly patrols of the streets, though the reasons for these changes remain unsaid.

And policy isn't the only thing changing around Angrid. Dr. Ollin's prodigal son has taken up his father's position at the asylum, and though he lacks the tenure and classical approach his father had when it came to psychiatric care, the new Dr. Ollin has some revolutionary ideas that he would like to share with you. Stop by his office for a therapy session, and he'll give you some recommendations that are sure to blow your mind... His methods have earned him the undying approval of some and the resentment of others.

Another point of resentment harbored by the citizens is that Angrid is slowly becoming a tourist attraction in itself. Sadistic people are drawn in by the stories, and the allure of living in a town of the living dead is irresistible to the same people who venture to haunted houses for the adreniline rush. But unlike these other ventures, the stories of Angrid are real- which proved to be startling for some and the horrific fix the other's crave. But whether you like it or not, once you get into Angrid, it's very hard to get out.

If there is a future for Angrid it lies with the children. They who are the only ones who don't shy away from the horrible truths that rot at the core of the city. Alone they are insignificant, but together they may be able to stride in the direction of change, that is if their nightmares don't get them first.




Fate changes faster than the death of light
You supply the envy
And I'll provide the spite



Angrid is the shadowy region where the FANTASTIC, the DEMONIC and the INSANE reside.

We hope you enjoy your stay.
