𝐉𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚, Aiden's mom was telling the group of parents a story about Aiden. "-and then Aiden set it on fire."

Naomi, Ben's mother recalls the event. "Oh i remember that!" She exclaims with a chuckle.

"Logan need to hang out with that boy more, he's always so cautious and timid. He needs to get out and live life, not be afraid of it." Mary, Logan's grandmother says with a slight sigh at the end.

"That's true, though i do think Aiden could stand to acquire some of Logan's calm demeanor as well haha." Jessica says with a chuckle.

"It's weird, Aiden used to be such a quiet kid." Daniel, Aiden's dad says.

A few moments go by as they continue chatting and Ashlyn comes over with Ben. Ben hands Lily over to his mom. She takes her with a smile.

"Hey, dad, we're going to the bus real quick to grab something. We'll be back in a minute." Ashlyn tells her dad. He nods and smile. "Alright."

Once they leave they all turn back to having a conversation.

"Haha, i'm surprised she's still awake. Now that i think about it, it's getting pretty late." Emma, Ashlyn's mom says as she looks over at Lily.

"Well, it's actually been a little hard to get any sleep recently." Naomi says as she moves a strand of hair from Lily's face and puts it behind her ear.

"Oh? Why's that?" Mike asks her curiously.

"Well.." Naomi trails off and looks at her husband, William. He looks back at her and finishes her sentence. "..It's kind of crazy." "We keep seeing strange things recently." Naomi states.

"Strange things?" Mary asked.

"Yeah.. though it's probably just because we aren't used to this area and are just on edge haha. We keep seeing things in dark areas.." Naomi says with a nervous look at her face.

"..But, everyone mistakes shadows as something they aren't sometimes." William says tries to reassure her it isn't anything major.

"Wait- you've been seeing the shadow things in the house too?" Jessica asks with wide eyes.

There was a pause in the air for a moment. Naomi was about to speak up before she got interrupted by an unknown voice with a slightly strong spanish accent.

"Um- excuse me, me and my daughter are trying to look for someone. I apologize for the suddenness." The voice says.

They all turn to the direction of the man. The man was fairly tall, he looked around his mid to late 40's. A woman beside him, she looked around her early to mid 20's.

"Oh- um, who are you looking for?" Mike asked the man.

"I'm looking (Your name) Gomez, i was her trainer for kickboxing. My daughter-" He motions to the woman beside him.

"She helped get (Your name) her to the U.S she left (Your name) to look after the house because she came back to Mexico to visit me. We came looking for her to surprise her. We found a paper stuck on the fridge saying uh, what did it say?" The man asked his daughter.

"The note said there was uh, Lily's birthday party? It had an address on it along with the date being today. So we came to see if she was here." The woman explains to them, also having an evident accent in her voice.

"Oh- well, can we know your names first?" Emma asked them.

"Oh, right. My name is Rosa Diaz, and my dad, Miguel Díaz." Rosa says with a smile.

They nod. "Well, yes, (Your name) is here. I'm guessing you are close with one another?" Mike asked them. They both nod with a smile.

"Yes, we are. We wanted to surprise her because her birthday is coming up and we wanted to be here with her." Miguel says with a smile.

"Ah, that's very kind of you both-" Jessica says as she gets cut off by feeling a suden shift. Everyone also feeling the shift. Rosa and Miguel hold their head as it begins to throb.

"Ay- que paso?.." Miguel asked a bit confused.

Translation; "Ay- what happened?.."

Rosa was about to speak before a scream cuts her off.

"𝐓𝐘𝐋𝐄𝐄𝐑𝐑!! (𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄)!!!"

Marianna, Rosa, and Miguel all freeze. They quickly sprint to where the screams were coming from.

"𝐖𝐀𝐊𝐄 𝐔𝐏!! 𝐖𝐀𝐊𝐄 𝐔𝐏!!" The screams continue.

𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐈𝐃𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐔𝐒.

𝐓𝐚𝐲𝐥𝐨𝐫 was seen shaking her twin with a panicked look on her face. Logan beside (Your name) doing the same thing. Both of them seemed to be in some sort of trance.

The two of them had similar reactions, their bodies hyperventilating. Tyler's wasn't as bad as (Your name)'s was.

Tears streamed down Taylor's face. "W-what do we do?! Tyler! (Your name)!" Taylor cries out. Logan had tears pricked in his eyes as he shook (Your name) getting no response whatsoever.

"𝐌𝐎𝐌!!" Taylor sobs.

Marianna, Rosa, Miguel, and Mike arrive to bus in a hurry. "Taylor!" Marianna yells for her in a panic.

They all go up to the two hyperventilating teenagers.

"(Your name), Tyler, sweetheart?" Marianna asked in a worried tone. "Oye, (Your name) no es tiempo de estar jugando.. despierta.." Rosa says in a panicked tone as she shake her a bit.

Translation; "Hey, (Your name) it's not a time to be playing.. wake up.."

Logan looked at the unknown woman with tears in his eyes. Mike lifts Tyler. He turn to look at Rosa. "Lift her up." He says in a slight stern voice.

She nods and lift her up in her arms and with a worried look she looks down at the unconscious hyperventilating girl in her arms.

"Hey! What are you doing with my son and his friend?!" Marianna asked in a very worried voice.

"We need to get the both of them to the hospital!" Mike tells her in a stern voice.
