"What were Ollie and Anka even doing up here?" Violet asked as she, Diesel, Kennedy, Grover, and Barrett walked through the halls.

"It's just a bunch of random classrooms." Grover spoke up.

"I'm telling you there has to be something here, alright." Diesel spoke in. "Trying to find a place to sleep is bullshit."

"Diesel's right." Barrett chimed in. "We need more information...I'm gonna talk to Zane."

"That's a terrible idea...what?" Violet responded.

"No, he might know something." Diesel said again.

"And you think he's gonna open up to Barrett."

"I can be persuasive."

"It's better than me doing it." Kennedy chimed in.

"I should go." Violet said. The other three immediately walked away when Grover said no. Kennedy knew she didn't trust them, and she did not trust Anka at all.

Kennedy walked through the halls and walked into a classroom. She sat on the desk as she looked out the window. Kennedy could feel the freak in her trying to break out, but she struggled to keep it inside because that part of her did not want the others in the school with them.

"I'm glad you controlled it." Kennedy heard her dad's voice say.

"You have no idea how hard it was to control it." Kennedy replied. "I wanted to take a bite out of Diesel's neck and in case you hadn't noticed, I'm distancing myself from him and everybody else."

"You shouldn't do that." Noodle's voice said. Kennedy turned around to see them standing there.

"Can you let me sulk in peace?"

"No...no matter what's going on inside of you, you shouldn't be alone."

"Look, I'm seeing and hearing people who have died." Kennedy felt her eyes water. "I shouldn't be seeing and hearing you." Kennedy let out a deep breath when she saw Natalie appear. "Really?"

"They need you...so you can't stop fighting."

---------------------------------------

After finding out somebody had taken the guns, the group locked the others in the cage in the basement.

"Go find Felicity and Red now." Grover said after forcing Zane in. "Go."

"Just listen for the annoying grind of skateboard wheels." Barrett said as Diesel and Kennedy walked away.

"Yeah, we got it." Diesel said back.

-------------------------------

"I'm struggling with this." Kennedy said as she and Diesel continued walking through the halls.

"I know you are, but I don't want any of them finding out about you." Diesel replied as he looked at her. "You know they won't react like we did."

Diesel and Kennedy walked into a dark hallway. They heard a door and Diesel called out for Felicity and Red. They walked into an empty classroom but saw nothing.

"What?" Felicity said as she appeared behind them causing Diesel to jump slightly.

"What are you doing up here?" Diesel asked.

"Reading...well that and using the facilities."

"Come on we gotta look for Red." Diesel and Kennedy walked past Felicity. The three of them walked through the halls. Kennedy itched her side where the bite was and Diesel grabbed her arm, stopping her before she exposed the bite. Felicity looked at her a little concerned. The three of them came into a hallway but Kennedy knew something was off when they saw Red's skateboard. They walked up to it and heard a noise. Diesel told them to stay and walked up to the room.
