When I arrive at school Kara is waiting for me by the schools' gates, she waves me over frantically. She is wearing a long floral dress with a sweater underneath and her black Doc Martens, "you look nice."

Kara smiles and loops her arm with mine as we make our way down to the bleachers. "And you look breathtaking pre usual," she giggles.

We walk down the bleachers right up to the front row and take our seats. "Mya!" Kara calls to Mya who is with the cheer team on the field.

Mya spots us and waves, she runs over to us and we lean over the fence. "You guys ready for tonight?" She asks.

"Of course!" Kara exclaims, making Mya laugh. I lean back a bit, watching the interaction between the two, Kara has a faint blush coating her cheeks and Mya keeps looking down and biting her lip. Oh, I see.

"Game's starting soon, catch you guys later," Mya waves, running off. Kara's eyes linger a bit longer on Mya as she runs back to her squad.

I bump her shoulder and she looks at me confused, I smile knowing and she gasps as we take our seats. "No, you know I don't swing that way," she rolls her eyes but I notice the faint blush on her cheeks and the smile dancing on her lips.

If Kara hasn't accepted herself I won't pressure her.

I end up zoning out while looking at the treeline at the far end of the field, it's weird to think someone's body was dumped there only a few days ago. As I look at the tree line I spot a figure of a man running past, I blink and shake my head hoping it was just my imagination but when I look back there are two pairs of eyes staring. Yellow and green.

I look at Kara but she is too busy posting on her Instagram story to notice, I look back again but this time they are gone. I hope it wasn't who I thought it was and they leave the game alone.

Just then the players begin running onto the field, the crowd cheers for them and when I spot Derek I cheer louder. The crowd cheers louder when they see Damon, he is the school's golden boy and captain after all.

The teams get into their starting positions and the crowd goes silent, waiting for the first whistle to blow. The silence is heavy and makes me anxious, it isn't an excited heavy, it's a 'something bad is coming' feeling. It doesn't help that the sun is gone, the spotlights illuminate the field and a small fog has rolled over.

The whistle blows and at the same time the crowd begins cheering and you can hear the players' gear colid. Kara and I begin to cheer loudly, I smile to myself as Derek grabs the ball then hands it off to Damon who bolts down the field.

Later on, I tell Kara I'm just going to head to the bathroom and for her to fill me in if anything happens. I squeeze past the people and make my way up the bleachers to head into the girls' locker room.

I use the bathroom and head over to one of the sinks to wash my hands, I dry them and begin making my way to leave when the lights go out. I head over the opposite side of the room where the light switch is, I flip it but nothing happens.

Out of the corner, I spot something moving past the lockers. "What the?" I mumble to myself, walking cautiously through the locker room, keeping an eye out.

"Hello, Evangeline," A voice echoes throughout the room. It's a man's voice, one that sounds familiar but in a deeper tone, like something is distorting it.

I quickly look around the room making sure nothing is watching me. "Where the Hell are you?" I ask to nothing in particular.

I round one of the locker columns, at the end standing in the middle of the room is a man. He is surrounded in yellow smoke and has a hood over his head and that same mask on, his eyes are glowing green and he's dressed head to toe in what looks like a military black suit.
