Noelle

After that weird encountering with the strange male in the hallway, Jake and I headed home. I wasn't feeling well, and decided to skip out on dinner. It's not like I was going to missed anyway. I had all my homework spread out on my bed, it wasn't much, because I was ahead in most of my classes. I was working on some math. Algebra 2 and all that junk. After about half an hour, I decoded to be done with homework. After putting it all back into my bag neatly, I checked the time. In bright pink numbers, my alarm clock read '9:58'. Well it's passed my bed time.

That sounded so lame, I'm sorry.

I tend to go to bed a eight, so I can get a good rest, in case my nightmares come back. When everything first happened, I slept for 3 hours. And I ran on that 3 hours for a week. Wasn't fun. I pulled my laptop off of my desk, before returning to my . I scrolled down my tumblr dashboard, looking at all the stuff that cluttered it. Things from photography, DIY stuff, bedroom decor, bands and singers I fangirl for. A lot of quotes made their way into my dashboard as well. It was really a mix of everything. With my chin in the palm of my hand, I kept scrolling. I felt myself dozing off, until my door slammed open, and shut. Jumping, I turned my head, seeing Jake running in before he plopped on my bed, he was on his phone.

"What the heck-"

"Shhh!" He said, before waving me over to sit next to him. I crawled over and sat criss cross. He seemed like he was concentrating, before pulled the phone from his ear, "My dad called me, he's freaking out, listen..." He said while putting it his phone on speaker,

"Jake! Are you listening to me? I know this was our man time, but you can't come-" His fathers voice interrupted by his police radio,

"All units to Hale Forrest, all units to Hale Forrest! There's a whole family of them! They're trying to g-get-"

"Officer down! Officer down! Sheriff, if you can hear this- If anyone can hear this, call the next town over! They're hu-"

"There's blood...so much blood-"

"All units! I repeat all units! Sheriff, if you're still alive, we need you!"

"Fuck," his father cursed. I stared at Jake, eyes wide, while he stared at his phone, "Jake, you stay inside, you hear me? In fact, get you and Noelle in the basement, now!"

"Dad, wha-what's happening?" He stutters,

"I don't know, son." He sighs, "Please, get to the basement. And don't come out until I call you, do you understand?"

Jake's silent,

"Damn it, Jake! Do you understand!?" His father begs,

"Yeah, yeah, we're headed to the basement now." Jake looks up at me, I quickly stand and begin gathering my things. I look out the window, and my eyes lock on the curiously huge moon...I've never seen it so big...

"I love you, son. Be safe. I'll be checking-" The phone line goes dead, I hear the beep-beep-beep.

Jake stares at his phone, "Dad...?" When nothing happens, he stands, "Get dressed, we're going to find my dad."

My eyes widen in bewilderment, "Jake, your father sounded really serious when he said he wanted us to go to the basement and stay there, whatever's going on, by the sound of the radio, we don't need to be a part of it..." I stumbled upon my words,

He shakes his head, "Noelle, you're not thinking! Don't you remember all those allegations of how your mother died? What if this is the animal? Or animals? Don't you want closure?" He raised an eyebrow at me,
