𝐋𝐨𝐠𝐚𝐧 then turns around, gun in his hand. He shoots at the centipede monster. The first shot misses, the second one hits its left eye, well it does have eyes so in not sure.

"Its left eye is out!" Logan shouts.

Taylor then turns around. She looks up at me she places me down on the floor, i slightly since as she does. "Stay right here. I'll be quick." She tells me.

I look at her, confused but i nod nonetheless and stay where she placed me.

Logan behind running with us only to get stopped by Taylor who grabbed the shotgun that was on his back.

"Taylor??" Logan shouts, confused.

Aiden, Ashlyn, Tyler, and Ben turn their heads to look over. "Taylor, what are you doing??" Ashlyn asked her.

"Keep shooting. We need to injure it as much as we can." Taylor tells Logan.

Logan looks over where she placed me and stands in front of me. He hesitates before lifting his gun up.

"..If the brain is located behind the eyes, then we might be able to at least paralyze it if we aim there." Logan tells Taylor.

They begin shooting the monster. I wince at how loud the gunshots were. 'Dang, they both look so cool. I should be like that too.' I then glance to my abdomen.

'Only it the stupid tree didn't impale me..' I think to myself and glare at my abdomen.

After a few moments the monster slumps to the ground. I turn to look where Ashlyn, Aiden, Tyler, and Ben where. I saw Ashlyn on the floor holding her earmuffs. I saw Aiden's hands on top of hers.

'Aw wait that so sweet..' I think to myself as i softly smile at them.

"..Yeah, uh- Tay it stopped moving." Aiden tells Taylor as he gives her a thumbs up. I could practically hear him saying "Good job!"

Taylor slowly brings the shotgun down. Logan looks at her and places his hand on her shoulder. "We need to hurry in case it recovers." Logan tells her.

I could see Taylor slightly shaking as she glares at the monster. She sighs and hands Logan the shotgun.

He takes it and puts it on his back, again. Taylor walks up to me and softly smile. She puts me on her back again. I slightly wince.

"Sorry." She tells me with an apologetic smile.

𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐎𝐅𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐄 𝐑𝐎𝐎𝐌.

𝐎𝐧𝐜𝐞 we were in the office room Taylor placed me down on a sofa they had, Tyler say to the end of it as he looked over as Ben changed my bandages.

"Where are they?!" Taylor shouts in frustration.

I glance over to her. "Coach must've moved them again!" Taylor says.

"Does he move them often?" Ashlyn asked her as her, Logan, and Taylor look for the keys.

"Yeah, because idiots like Jay and Conner keep messing with them!" Taylor shouts, irritation clear in her voice.

"I'm getting a minor feeling of deja vu." Aiden says as he stands in the front door, swinging his dagger in his hand.

"..We have 3 minutes left. Aiden, there's a straggler." Ashlyn warns Aiden.

"Yeah, i hear it running." Aiden says as he swiftly stabs the incoming phantom with his dagger.

'That was badass.' I think to myself as i mentally nod.

"Got it!" Aiden says proudly.

"Are there any more?" Ashlyn asked him.

Aiden looks out into the hallway. "I can't see any?" As soon as he says that the school shakes my "Woah?!" He exclaims as he stumbles.

Everyone stumbles and looses their balance. "Ah!" We exclaim.

"EVERYONE GET UNDER SOMETHING!" Ashlyn yells at the top of her voice.

Tyler and Ben quickly grab me off the sofa and drag me under a table where Logan was at. I was laying down as i groaned.

I could hear the ceiling falling. "Shoot-" I heard Aiden say.

My heart started racing and the dreadful feeling got worse. 'Fuck- wait don't tell me-' My eyes widen in realization.

"AIDEN!!" I heard Ashlyn shout for him.

I heard ruble moving and it being quiet for a moment.

I saw Taylor walk over to their direction. "Come on! Get him under a table!" I heard her say. I close my eyes tightly shut and hope for the best.
