Ashlyn and (Y/n) lay sprawled out on the beds. "Class was exhausting." Ashlyn groans, you look over at the clock, it's 10:41pm. "It's almost midnight...I wonder how the others are doing." you say absent mindedly.
-1 hour later-
"No one sent anything in the group chat." Ashlyn points out, you forward your eyebrows, a sense of dread hanging over you. "I feel like we're forgetting something." you say anxiously before your eyes widen. 'that's right! Where we left off...that means-' you turn to Ashlyn in a panic. "Ash the phantom-" Before you could tell her the clock hit 12.

Since Savannah, what happened has been recurring Every night. At 12AM the sky turns red, the world becomes lifeless and mute, and shadow-like monsters start to roam around.
Because Ashlyn originally thought the sound, they made were phantom noises, we decided to call the creatures-
[PHANTOMS.]
We've figured out a few things during the past couple weeks of this happening. For seven hours, we're stuck here. Even though time is moving here, time is stopped at 12AM in our world. This place seems to be influenced by our world but doesn't physically influence ours. Injuries that happen here can be felt but not shown in our world and vice-versa.
AND-
WE ALWAYS RETURN WHERE WE LEFT OFF IN EACH WORLD.
You open your eyes feeling dizzy but quickly realizing your back on the bus in the phantom dimension, your head starts buzzing warning you of the incoming danger, you and Ashlyn make eye contact making it known to you that she hears the phantom. "Duck!" you and Ashlyn whisper shouted, you grabbed Aiden pulling him down with you by the front of his shirt, Ashlyn urging the others to follow suit. "Still here?" Tyler questions both you and Ashlyn, the both of you nod confirming his question. "What do we do?" Taylor asks, a scared expression on her face, Ashlyn is silently lost in thought, so you speak up instead. "we'll have to try and kill it." you tell them.
"How are we going to do that?" Tyler asks unsure. "We could have Logan shoot it through the window?" Aiden suggests, Ashlyn shakes her head in response. "no, the gun is for emergencies only." she says strictly. "This is an emergency!" Tyler raises his voice a notch before you gesture for him to shut up."An emergency is a swarm or one of us is about to die." Ashlyn counters.
"We don't have many bullets, so we need to try and kill it with our weapons first and have Logan as our backup." you tell him before whipping your head towards the front of the bus sensing the phantom coming closer, Ashlyn brings her finger to her lip shushing everyone, you point to the seats. "hide under the seats." you instructed them.
You hid with Ashlyn under one seat Aiden and Logan were hiding together under another and of course the twins hid together as well, Ben was by himself. You and Ashlyn held your breath as you heard the phantom climbing into the bus and you saw its feet as it walked down the aisle. Ashlyn glances at the box of weapons. 'If we can just quietly crawl towards the box-'
SCRAPE
You whipped your head to Ashlyn giving her a look, everyone freezes waiting for something to happen, Ashlyn looks behind us not seeing anything when all of a sudden, the buzzing picks up intensively, you look in front of you (e/c) eyes widened in fear as you nudged Ashlyn causing her to turn. The phantom is on all fours, its head twisted upside down, staring at the two of you intensely with its white beady eyes and terrifyingly large smile. Its head twists to turn right side up.
