Involved in this plot:
--- --- Washman (sophomore)
--- --- Crow (freshman)
& --- --- Orwell (freshman)
Crow is just one of those kids who wants to be in the 'it' crowd, and she's got a personality for it, if not the success. She also has the 'state of soul' that makes her eligible for RSOR. She joins the club, hanging out with kids like herself. Of course, she doesn't meet everyone in the club early on in the year. As much as she'd like to think so, she's not that well connected. Outside one of these meetings, she sees a face she glimpsed in the HQ. Washman.
Washman, wondering if perhaps this girl would be of use to her, befriends her, playing the role of good older friend perfectly. So much so that she mentions it to cousin Orwell when he and his family are over for a family dinner. Orwell has also seen Washman around - and does not trust her. At all. He doesn't know anything about any one's past lives, but he says he has this "feeling". And he says so. Suggesting that he's just jealous, Crow brushes him off for a while.
Then she lets it slip to Washman that her "jealous cousin Orwell" doesn't like her one bit.
Suddenly, the spark of Elizabeth Bathory is a bit more ignited. Orwell wasn't a young girl, but he was a threat to her person and her chance to terrorize someone. She does not show up at the RSOR meeting that next Thursday. In that RSOR meeting, Crow remembers that she didn't ever ask who the innocent older friend of hers is a reincarnation of. When she asks another, she gets a name she never heard of.
Crow goes home that night and googles the name, to chilling answers on web pages. Maybe Orwell was right? But Orwell hadn't come home yet, as a frantic Aunt calling says.
Orwell, meanwhile, was blindfolded from behind, silently attacked, and left behind the school during the Halloween haunted maze. By the time he regained consciousness, untied the blindfold and his legs, he got home at one in the morning. With no concrete evidence to back up who did this, he lets it drop, saying it was some "sick prank". He asks his parents it to mention it to Crow, but when he comes to school two days later, she's already having some suspicions. The trouble is, she can't prove anything and Washman is still being a helpful friend. Orwell, meanwhile had been worried into silence.
But the fact remains that someone is going to get hurt....
Just who of the three? Will Crow try to catch Washman or will Washman attack one of the two?
