The two boys (and their otherworldly companion, began walking to their old junior high, shovels in tow, as they walked Cole chatted away "so how did it feel being possessed?" "It felt like my body was on fire, and half of me died, like, my emotional side...that's why I feel nothing about digging up this time capsule..." Hex stated blatantly, he pulled a can of black spray paint and looked at the security camera, he sighed "how are we gonna get up there?" The ghost pipes up in hexed mind "let me take this one!" Suddenly Hex blacked out, in his mind he saw the ghost, slowly shifting into his body, he felt his bones ache and body burn, suddenly he woke up, laying on the ground, Cole smiling ecstatically, smiling at Hex "THAT WAS AMAZING!" he shouted. Hex grumbled "what was?" "Oh dude! You took a pin and turned the spray paint into a rocket! You DESTROYED that camera!" Hex looked confused "I didn't do that" he said sitting up "I did!" He heard the ghost chime "oh...right..ugh..my body...and- gah! I'm covered in paint!" He sighed, grabbing a shovel "alright Cole, let's do this" he nodded and started digging. Hours of digging in the cool night air Hex'a hands bled and ached, as they finally uncovered the metal box, pulling it up was no easy task, especially with the blood on his hands, pulling up the chest and smashing the lock with a shovel, they had done it, he had Cole rummage, looking at his hands, his bleeding, blistered hands, what had he pushed himself so hard? It made no sense to Hex, just then he saw something incredible, his hands, were healing at an incredible rate "suck it up, kid." He heard the ghost giant him, he was grateful but angry, he helped Cole , and eventually found it, an envelope, full of cash, every student and teacher left 10 dollars in that envelope and with 400 students and 35 teachers, there was 4350 dollars in this one Manila package. Hex grabbed it and held it tightly to his chest, he never felt so much money, it was so heavy, but he had it, looking at Cole, he smiled "let's go Cole!" He smiled and started walking with him, smiling, the ghost chuckled "amazing! Now here's what we need, hair dye, and all new clothes for each of you, for now just get one outfit and a spare, let's gooo!" The ghost chuckled, and Hex informed Cole of the new plan "sooo...like...what about underwear?" This made Hex laugh. Soon they would arrive at the mall, Cole, seemingly exhausted , but Hex felt nothing, they went to a clothing store first "make sure to pick something completely different then your regular clothing , you can't be spotted!" Hex nods "pick something abnormal for you, ok?" He said quietly to Cole. Hex smiled and looked around suddenly all he could think was purple, purple everything! In the end he had chosen a dark purple long sleeve shirt, and purple hoodie, same for pants, and a deep violet overcoat with a brighter purple scarf. He felt embarrassed but then he say till he saw Coles picks, red shirt, red pants, red red red, he snickered "no blood?" Cole nodded "of course!" They went and paid for their ensemble, 932.67$ Hex was amazed, clothes were expansive! Shoes were next, purple and red, typically, Hex chose boots and Cole runners, they paid, 345.65$! Hair dye and some essentials were next, socks, underwear, cold medicine, first aid kit, snacks, and pre-loaded 500$ visas each, coming to a total of 1167.90$, the rest they held onto. After this they began to head to the old rickety bridge, and more importantly to their new, and very unknown, and unassuming, otherworldly destiny.
