Chapter 8

      Within seconds the darkness's had dissolved after taking the shape of an odd bird. Not a bullet or anything. Just gone. It was of course slightly odd. Anyone that had stayed inside left the gym. There wasn't anything of value left as the nameless group walked out.

      Sleep, precious sleep.

"HAZEL!" Makoto shouted.

"What?" Hazel moaned.

"Someone's at the door for you."

"It's too early."

"It's nearly noon."

"Liar it's fifty minutes till."

"I'll just tell the attractive ginger you have a boyfriend already."

    Hazels eyes widened as she jumped out of bed and started to change into better looking clothes. She hopped putting her shoe on. Makoto opened the door. Aaron was standing at the door wearing jeans, blank shirt and letter jacket.

"Hey Hazel," he grinned.

"Hi," she said.

"Mia wants us in the computer lab."

    Hazel shrugged. Makoto grinned jumping up and down.

"Don't do anything stupid! If you do at least use a condom!" She squealed.

    Aaron walked down the hall while Hazel sighed following. They walked to the schools computer lab. Noticeably some computers were missing. Ash sat at a computer pulling up charts and Mia reclined her arm on a chair standing up. The window had flooded the sunlight into the room.

"Good you're here," Mia said.

"Yup. So what do we do?" Aaron said.

"Ash right now is going through anything with Aurora. Files, documents, video."

"It's getting progressively harder to find anything on her. Though I have been looking at video recordings of last night," Ash said pushing up his glasses.

      Ash clicked on a few screens pulling up a video. Hazel was slightly confused of how Ash had been able to get the information.

"Ash is a computer genius. I think this is his third time hacking into the school software," Aaron told Hazel.

"Fifth," Ash corrected.

    Aaron shrugged.

"So find anything yet?" Mia snapped.

    The video playing paused. Right where the Darkness had taken form of that bird.

"That's a Phoenix I think," Aaron said after a while.

"What would the Darkness need with a Phoenix?" Mia said confused.

"They aren't the only enemy," Hazel said.

"What?" Mia demanded.

"What? I have no clue what I'm talking about its too early for me!" Hazel shouted.

      Mia shrugged. Aaron tugged at his sleeves nervously.

"Sides what's with the missing computers?" Hazel asked.

"Someone's been stealing them. Not sure how," Mia responded.

    The nameless group, though nameless was not actually their name, had gathered again in the cellar. This time Makoto had joined and was essentially bouncing over the right room. The after effects of sugar. Then of course, Hazel had suggested that Makoto join since she had said she was the project result of Japan.
