Go Figure? The Class of '66

For school

Chris realizes that Emily looks exactly like her, which is why Pthagleo kept calling Chris Emily.

"What happened here?" asked Chris.

"It all started in 1965. You might want to sit down for this." Emily replies. "We were all learning about ratios and proportions, when a shadow appeared in the doorway. I pointed it out, but when I did, everyone laughed at me. After this I asked to use the bathroom. Since there's absolutely no security in this school, I managed to sneak out and run home.

"Every day afterwards, you saw that shadow, and whenever you talked about it, everyone laughed at you. They didn't know about the shadow taking the students." Chris continued.

"Yes." said Emily.

Chris noticed that the story sounded familiar. She realized that this was the bedtime story her mother used to tell her. She would always fall asleep before the end. Only her and her mother knew this.

"Didn't my mom tell me this story" She asked.

"Yes." Emily answered.

"Are you my mom?" Chris asked.

"No, I'm her twin sister." Emily answered. "Aren't you forgetting something?"

"Oh! Do you see the man's face?" asked Chris.

Pthagleo is getting in my head. I keep confusing the names.

"He looked like you, but male, older, and he had blue eyes." Emily responded.

"GRANDPA?!" screamed Chris. "Who did he take, and where did he take them?"

"Yes. The first missing student was named Cefly Hazel, or was it Hazel Cefly?" said Emily.

The name sounded familiar, but Chris couldn't put her finger on it.

Meanwhile, Carter was talking to Pthagleo.

"Sorry we couldn't make it to the party. We overslept." he said.

"Yeah, and only one guest from '66 showed up." Pthagleo replied.

"Again, we're so sorry." Carter repeated "By the way, what happened to the class of '66?"

"They graduated." Pthagleo answered "Then they went home."

"THAT'S IT!? THAT'S THE ANSWER WE'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THIS WHOLE TIME!?" Carter yelled.

"No." answered Pthagleo. "There was a man, Emily's grandpa, who took them and mur-, I mean, kept them in the storage room. They all di-, er, escaped and left the city."

"You almost said they were murdered and died in the storage room." Carter pointed out.

"Oh, yes. You and Emily were murdered in the storage room looking for your classmates." Pthagleo said.

"Classmates?" Carter asked.

"You don't remember?" Pthagleo asked "You were in this class. As was Emily. You two were the only ones who didn't make it out." Pthagleo explained.

Emily told the whole story to Chris. She saw it in first person as if it were a memory. And it was.

"WE'RE DEAD!?" Chris and Carter exclaimed in unison.

They continued to scream their heads off as they disappeared.

The End?
