~Third Person POV~

~Thirty minutes later it is now Wednesday 10:00pm~

The door bell rang. Leo answered the door and let Ryder and Dexter in. Leo filled them in on everything Kelly told him so far. They then went upstairs to meet with Kelly again. Leo knocked on the door before entering like he promised. When they entered they saw Kelly sitting on Leo's bed and staring out his window. She was wearing an oversized T-shirt that covered her blue shorts.

"Hey, Kelly?" Leo called.

She turned around to face them.

"Did you open the box?" He asked.

She shook her head no the showed them the box pointing to a strange hole where a keyhole would normally be.

"What the hell? Do they expect you to know how to open this!?" Ryder asked being loud as usual.

"Mmmm... Maybe Lily knows something about it? I do sence magic from it." Leo suggested.

"Should I summon her?" Ryder asked.

"No. We've got bigger fish to fry right now." Leo stated seriously.

"The only reason Heather burnt Kelly's house was to get her to bring you to some place behind the school." He added.

"It a trap. You shouldn't go." Kelly stated.

"That much we can tell but what is the trap? Does she want to kill you or something else? Either way we're going." Ryder stated.

"What? Why?" Kelly asked confused.

"Obviously because she'll be there and we're going to get revenge for you. What she did was unforgivable. She needs to pay." Ryder said with a confident smile.

"Why is one of the only times I see you really smile you're talking about revenge?" Leo asked.

"What can I say? I like getting revenge for my friends." He replied with a smirk.

"Who are you and what'd you do with the jerk I know?" Kelly asked confused.

"What!? I'm me. And I'm not going to be automatically nice just because we're friends now okay? It doesn't even mean anything it's just a word you call people who are always around you. And I'm calling you it because of reasons."

"What's that even supposed to mean?" Leo asked.

"Shut up, Leo! You guys are my Bestfriends. She hasn't earned that title yet."

Kelly giggled watching the two argue.

"We need a plan." Dexter stated.

"No we don't. All that's gonna happen is we go there and beat the crap outta everyone." Ryder stated.

"When?" Dexter asked.

"Tomorrow, After school. Are you guys sure you want to do this? I'm bad luck... Everything around me dies or gets hurt..." Kelly said as tears began to flow again.

"Kelly... " Leo said not sure how to cheer her up.

"You idiot. I'm positive that's not true. Besides, Stop degrading yourself! That's my job!" Ryder yelled.

Kelly smiled slightly but she didn't stop crying. The deaths of her parents keep playing in her mind. All the pain she just forgot was coming back.

"Movie?" Dexter suggested.

"Yeah that's a good idea. Do you want to watch a movie?" Leo asked gently.

Kelly nodded in response hoping a movie would help her forget again.
