In the parking lot of the school, under the dim and deserted surroundings, two elongated shadows emerge in the moonlight, stretching across the pavement towards a school bus. Scott and Allison are holding hands as they approach.

Allison wears a smile and inquires, "Where are you taking me?"

Scott shakes his head and responds, "Somewhere we can have privacy."

Slightly shaking her head, Allison remarks, "We're already alone."

Scott's smile widens, and he nods while saying, "Somewhere we can be even more secluded." He opens the bus door and holds it for her, playfully teasing her with a smile.

With caution, Allison takes a step inside and reiterates, "We're already alone."

Meanwhile, Scott guides Allison down the aisle, heading towards the back of the bus. He settles in the last row, near the rear window, and she takes a seat across from him. Scott glances at her questioningly, as if to convey, "Is that so?"

However, she remains still, prompting Scott to take her place. She turns towards him, and before she realizes it, they find themselves kissing in the dark, empty rear of the school bus. His lips meet hers, while his hands slide down to her thighs, drawing her closer to his body. Allison runs her fingers along the nape of his neck, her back arching and pressing against him.

Suddenly, Scott's hand tightens, his nails transforming into claws that tear through her jacket, ripping the fabric apart. Startled, he jerks back, tightly shutting his eyes.

Gasping for breath, Allison asks, "What? What's wrong?" He rises from the seat, attempting to shield his eyes from her view.

Shaking his head, Scott says, "Just go away."

Undeterred, Allison smiles and questions, "Scott?" As he widens his eyes, a furious yellow hue emanates from them.

Scott lets out a piercing scream, demanding, "Stay away from me!" Startled, Allison instinctively takes a step backward, swiftly getting up from her seat, determined not to turn and meet his gaze directly. From behind her, a deep growl resonates, causing a shiver down her spine. She swiftly dashes down the aisle, her heart racing, as Scott's clawed hand snatches her ankle with a powerful grip. With a forceful impact, Allison falls hard onto the floor, her eyes widening with sheer horror. 

Scott drags her back, firmly holding onto both of her ankles, while her fingernails scrape against the floor in a desperate attempt to resist. In a sudden twist, she spins around and delivers a swift kick, managing to land on her heels against the mysterious presence behind her. Scott bellows in a raging fury, staggering backward from the powerful blow, causing the bus to sway precariously. His eyes have undergone a horrifying transformation, glowing with a deep, blood-crimson hue as his figure morphs into a monstrous, inky black form. 

With his enormous clawed hands, he charges forward, violently tearing through the bus seats in a destructive rampage. In the midst of the chaos, Allison lunges towards the door, desperately pushing it open. Yet, to her dismay, she finds herself trapped, unable to escape. Summoning all her strength, she exerts herself forcefully, persistently trying to break free, until finally, with a sudden burst, the door swings open.

Next day... Monday, January 24th 2011 {Day 16}

Stiles slams the door of his Jeep shut in the school parking lot, casually tossing his school bag over his shoulder. Morwen steps out from the back of the jeep, sporting a black long-sleeved shirt paired with a crimson tank top. Adorned in black military pants, and black military boots, and adorned with various chains, they sling their black bag over their shoulder.
