Seth's point of view:
We heard a faint scream, coming from the direction of the forest. Nina ran towards us, and we all hurriedly stood up. Her face was pale white and her eyes were as wide as if she had seen a ghost! She was crying terribly loudly and she cupped her head in her hands and pulled her knees tightly in towards her chest.
"What happened!?" I yelled.
Her body was shivering from fright and she collapsed into the middle of the group.
Alicia cradled down next to her and held her in a strong embrace, her body shivering from Nina's force.
"Kara is dead!" Nina spluttered out.
Immediately I ran from the group towards the forest in search of Kara. Sticks and branches cracked and split underneath my weight as I ran through the dark and dreary forest. I ran for what seemed like forever until finally, in the distance I saw a body, lying on the ground. I ran as fast as my tired legs would take me and fell to the ground next to the lifeless body. Kara was the owner of this body. And this body was dead. Kara was dead! This can't be true. My mind couldn't process this thought. I cried silently, my face cupped in my hands. She had to be alive. She couldn't truly be dead. I heard a sudden, shrieking whisper in my ear. I looked around and far into the distance but all I saw was darkness. But my eyes caught something. On Kara's stomach, where blood had spilled through her white shirt, leaving bright red stains on her clothes, there was a tiny note, with tiny writing.
"She told the secret, now she pays".
I turned the page over, my heart skipped a beat.
"Who's next?"
