20 years ago...

*Jacy's POV*
We arrived at Notre Dame de la Rouge late Monday night. We settled into our dormitories and headed out to the campfire.

Me and my best friend Em were sitting on a log, chatting with Jack. Totally not my boyfriend or anything...

Em was roasting a marshmallow for me when I heard a crunch in the bushes.

"Jack! Get the flashlight!" I whisper shouted.

"What flashlight?" He said out loud. Dumbass.

"The one in your pocket you airhead!"

"Ooooohhh. Thaaat flashlight! Here." He handed it to me. I rolled my eyes.

I shined it into the bushes, seeing nothing suspicious. I turned around and everyone around the fire had disappeared. Wtf?

"Really funny guys." I shouted. "Guys?"

There was no signs of life literally anywhere.

"Jack this isn't funny! It's really dark out here." Just then, my flashlight went out. "Great."

I heard a scream coming from the dining hall. Shit! That was Em's scream! I ran as fast as I could down the path. When I got there, it was too late.

Em was splattered all over the walls. Her head was hanging from a string attached to the ceiling.

"Oh god! Em!" I sobbed. Then, I heard a second scream. Jack! I ran down to the river and found him face down in the water. Someone had drowned him!

"Why is everyone dying!" I screamed.

Suddenly, something ripped through my shoulder. I screamed in pain as I was dragged by a dark figure in a cloak. I screamed one last time before something sharp speared through my chest.
