The burning feeling of betrayal and fear fill my mind everyday, haunting me like i haunt the place i thought i was safe in.. i was lied to, backstabbed, tortured! they will pay, they can't just cover this up and expect no one to try and dig it back up.. they'll know.. they will all know.

After a long, unexpected hug, my friends let me go and they could tell i was confused "why the sudden hug? i mean, it was nice and i love you all, but it was really unexpected" I chuckled slightly and looked at them all. Marcus smiled then shrugged slightly "we just thought you might like one!" I smiled at him then sighed, remembering why i was there in the first place. "you said you have something to show or tell me?" Lillian nodded and went over to her computer, opening it and logging in, after a few seconds she showed me her screen and I read it. "sooooo, mist went missing hours before the school fire? what's so important about that?" Lillian looked at me like i was dumb and i got nervous, she sighed and started explaining "it might not have been a coincidence, him going missing then the school burning down."

I raised an eyebrow and tilted my head slightly, not really understanding what she meant, which made George have to explain even more but a little dumbed down "He was most likely kept at the school, not kidnapped or lost, he never left the school." I slapped my face, feeling dumb but i just nodded to show that i understood now. I started to think of what this could mean, were they really kidnapped or did they stay after school, maybe we are over thinking this and there is nothing wrong, their spirit may be just walking around the school.

I sighed and shook my head a little "but why would they wander around the school of all places? that doesn't really make sense." I thought quietly to myself, while not noticing that George was calling my name and trying to get my attention, it wasn't until he shook me that i realized. I looked at him and raise an eyebrow, giving him a confused look "Sorry George, what do you need?" He sighed and fixed his glasses "Are you okay? You have been rather quiet, and zoning out a lot, i don't know if that is normal since I'm kind of new to the group but i just want to make sure." I smiled at him and nodded, he was too nice for this pathetic world.


After a few hours, it was now 12:54 am and we all decided to have a sleepover, even George stayed over, which was nice. I tried staying up as long as i could, i wanted to research all i could but eventually I feel asleep. When i opened my eyes, I was somewhere familiar yet not familiar, it all felt fuzzy and cold but warm at the same time. I stood up, feeling somewhat numb to my surroundings and situation. I walked around, ever step I made was like stepping in wet sand that would never dry, soaked with the salty tears of doomed souls that died to young.

I don't know why but I felt at peace, peace I haven't felt in so long, no worries or thoughts, everything was quiet, even then voices in my head were gone, for now at least. I continued to walk, the place seem to be endless, the smell of burning flesh was all I could process through my mind, like it was engraved but for what reason? Then I stop dead in my tracks, looking ahead at me at a boy I feel I have seen before.. I have, he's so young but he is wiser then george, then anyone i know. "...Hello?" I spoke with hesitation, like if I spoke that he would break like glass at the sound of a high pitch. But he didn't, he turned to me and spoke. "Hello. It's nice to finally meet you. My name is-"

Before I could hear his name, the world around me started to shatter and crumble, like an earthquake that had the powers of Zeus. I looked at the boy, noticing he was gone. And everything fell apart. Then I woke up, everyone else was asleep and sleeping well. I sighed softly, running a hand through my hair, I decided to scroll my phone for a while to clear my mind, what better to do then that, right?


(This has been in my drafts for a bit, and I'm sorry it's short but my motivation is like my love life- dead- anyways, hope you enjoy this and I apologize if it's confusing and that it's been so long ):3.)
