Every Rose Has it's Thorns AU

Hey so this AU is called Every Rose Has Its Thorns. It's a darker and semi-realistic AU It's where Maplehood Creek, a small town with a dark and intricate history, is so intertwined with a place called the pocket where monsters and proxies live it's almost like they're living side by side even though they're not. With a little place called Rosewood Preparatory School at the center of it all. Tabby Anderson, who was a former leader and esteemed Rosewood student has just lost everything recently. Deciding that there's nothing left for her in her town and Rosewood and running on her need to stay alive out of spite and long enough to keep the promises that she made to her friends, she decides to run away. Start over from scratch and give herself the second chance at life that she's always wanted. Little did she know that the opportunity of a lifetime would present itself one fateful night... Join Tabby as she goes from lone runaway to proxy. As she goes through the process of figuring out this new life with her new acquaintances, goes through the mourning and healing process and struggling to accept her past and move on and goes on a really big mission to infiltrate a school to assassinate someone who's been trying to get Information on the Slenderman. However, things aren't as simple as they seem...As the mission turns complex and somehow connecting to Rosewood Prep and the dark ancient entity that resides there in the heart of the school. As to get rid of the person and the root problem they'd have to destroy the school and Rosewood Prep once and for all and for good. With one mystery unraveling one right after the other and with the help of some old and new friends can Tabby and her newfound friends figure it out and get the job done? Can Tabby finally learn to heal and move on to accept her new life? Can Tabby make the cut? Will she live long enough to accomplish her wishes? Would the proxies be willing to follow her down this strange and dark and wonderful path that she's on? When old loyalties die and new loyalties form and with Tabby's past, present, and future collides could Tabby be a part of something much bigger than she could ever hope for? Will Rosewood claim her and just be another body in the long line? or Will she become the hero that she once was yet again? This AU is based on an RP I'm doing on Tumblr so updates will be slow. Credit goes to @creepypasta-shtick on Tumblr for some of the ideas and their interpretation of the creepypastas and the Pocket universe belongs to them. If you have any questions about The Pocket or the Interpretation of their characters and creepypastas go to them on their blog. Maplehood Creek, Rosewood Prep, and Tabby Anderson belong to me.

Tabby and Her Many Names

She hates the name Tabithia. It makes her stand out like a sore thumb more than she already does. It also makes her think that shes in trouble because adults use that name to call her when she was in trouble. Her stepdad also perversed her name by using it to symbolize everything bad, gross and evil.

She wants nothing to do with the name Tabithia.

Then she went to Rosewood Prep where she acquired many nicknames in the 8 years that she was there.

Tabithia the fool/the liar- It has her real name in it so automatically it’s a no go. The fool part came from her learning the parlor trick of calling people out for their deep insecurities when really its brought to surface. But people refused to give her the satisfaction of being right so they ridiculed her and called her a liar.

Patron Saint of Children- Tabby adores kids because she takes care of and protects her little brother Adam. Some of the kids are just 5 years old and already being exposed to the harsh realities and cruelties of Rosewood. Tabby will go above and beyond to protect the younger children of Rosewood. Although it’s a better nickname than all of the others its just not something she would want to go by.

Demonic Jack in the box- this came from Tabby’s many years of fighting and developing her fighting style. She never let up when she attacked and she never stayed down in a fight always bouncing right back up. This is her fighter name.

Karma/Judgement- those are her darker and deadlier nicknames that came about in her 7th grade year. Let’s just say she cleaned up Rosewood by unorthodox means and leave it at that for now (I don’t want to spoil anything)

Tabs- a derivative from her real name. Although tolerable and will answer to it its not preferable.

Tabby however Tabby is a name that she prefers. It’s a derivative from her real name so she could keep her identity because even though she hates her real name she can’t really seem to let go of it. To her Tabby is a compromise between being someone new and keeping her real name. People have often said that she reminds them of a feral, rough and tumble alley cat which is a much more suitable description for her. And she also loves cats and has personality traits of them. Tabby is a type of cat. To her Tabby means fighting for what is right no matter what, putting the people you call your true family first and foremost, and to be unbreakable even though you feel like shattering from the weight of everything that people put upon you.

That’s why even now in her proxy life she could have chosen a new name. Fuck it. New her, new life, new beginnings but no. She still stuck with Tabby. It’s a name she has made for herself and will continue to make for herself.

"I haven't been the same since you left. Maybe that's for the better. Maybe that's the push I needed to be the sister I was supposed to be for you. To be the person you believed I could always be. It just hurts that it took so much pain for it to happen, and I can’t even show you this side of me."
