After Jessica got back from the twins house she sat at her table doing the remaining homework until midnight once the clock hit twelve she fell asleep shifting into the other dimension.

"Duck," Ashlyn whispered immediately pushing Aiden off her. "Still here?" Aiden asked Ashlyn nodded in response. Jessica popped her head up at the window low enough the phantom couldn't see her. "It's by the bus behind us," Jessica said slowly sitting down again. "What do we do?" Taylor whispered. "We'll have to try and kill it." Ashlyn stated, "How are we going to do that." Tyler said annoyed. "We could have Logan shoot it through the window?" Aiden suggested making Logan tense up at the thought of that. Jessica put her hand on his shoulder giving him a light smile.

"No, the gun is for emergencies," Ashlyn said shutting down that option. "This is an emergency!" Tyler started to quietly yell "An emergency is a swarm or one of us is about to die." Ashlyn argued back "We don't have many bullets so we have to try and kill it with our weapons first and have Logan as our backup." Ashlyn continued

Ashlyn quietly gasped putting her finger to her mouth and telling everyone to stay quiet. "Hide under the seats." The phantom slowly stomped its way up the bus stairs. Ben and Jessica watched side by side. Jessica heard movement behind her looking to see Ashlyn trying to move but she wasn't the only one that heard.

The phantom looked under her seat meeting face to face with Ashlyn "Not good!" Tyler yelled getting out from under the seat "Ashlyn" Taylor followed.

The phantom lunged forward at Ashlyn trying to slash her with its claws she quickly rolled away but her long hair got in the way. The phantom grabbed ahold of her hair pulling her back "Agh, get the weapons!" She yelled. "Got it!"

Jessica Ben Taylor and Tyler all ran over to the box of weapons rummaging through to grab something useful. Jessica grabbed her belt of knives.

"Aiden!?" Jessica heard pulling her gaze to the three fighting the phantom she watched carefully. Aiden grabbed the phantom swinging it to the open window and kicking the phantom up "Close the window!" He ordered Ashlyn and Logan quickly went over closing the window down on the phantom Jessica started to walk over watching the grip Aiden had on one of its arms slowly slip away.

"Logan!" She yelled running over and pushing him back hitting the seat behind himself she faced the phantom closing her eyes ready to face its claws. A large slash came across her face she yelled in pain falling backwards in the seat beside the phantom. "Jess!" She heard someone yell her mind went blank not able to see much. She could make out running and heavy breathing then complete silence.

"Are you alright can you see?" Tyler asked kneeling in front of her. She sat up with her hands over her face. He grabbed her arms slowly taking them away his eyes widening "Ben get the med kit!" Tyler ordered. Aiden popped his head over the seat "That's gonna need a couple of bandages." He said with black all over his face pointing at Jessica.

Jessica sat there with a frown she had bandages wrapped around her head covering the left side of her face "I look stupid." She groaned "You kinda look like a mummy." Aiden said with a small laugh. Jessica looked at him unamused.

Jessica had open wounds on the left side of her face causing the vision in her left eye to go blurry.

"Guess that means the Savannah conversation is on hold for now," Ashlyn pointed at the dead phantom. Tyler scoffed "Fine. Then let's decide what to do with the phantom." He said getting up and walking over to the phantom. Everyone followed.

Jessica examined the phantom it was stabbed in the chest by shears with its head sticking out of the window. She stepped behind the seat the phantom was lying in resting her elbows on the top. Tyler tapped the monster with his bat making sure it was dead "So what do we do now?" He asked stepping to Jessica's left side.
