The Purple Ghost Chapter 3

"What did you do with her?" Asked Harmony.
"Reported them to the police." Jake said. "They'll know what to do."
"But... But she can't go to jail! She's done nothing wrong!"
"How do you know?"
"Pfft! Like he actually reported it to the police." Jaclyn walked over.
"Jaclyn, aren't you a part of my group?"
"Yes. But literally what you did was release him on the playground by the police stati-"
"She." Harmony caught her.
"Whatever."
"There's a chance she might have come back to the school."
"Then we'll hunt him all over again. Harmony, he captured you. Don't you think you should stop trusting him and trust us?"
Harmony thought for a moment. "No! This isn't right! Friends don't just hunt friends."
"But he's not a friend, Harmony! He captured you!"
"No she didn't!"
Jake squinted. "Or, maybe you're helping him."
"What? Why would I?"
"You talked and cared about him more than us. You're trying to make us lose the next incentive."
"But I love incentives! And even though I didn't go to it yet, I love the color run."
"Lies! We're capturing you if we see you with him again. You hear me?"
Jaclyn walked next to Harmony. Harmony nodded.
"Great." Jake ran over to the slide he sat on the other day.
"Harmony, I want to help. I don't know what's going on, but we can't let a random person just die in the cold."
"Wait, now I have a question."
"What is it?"
"If the ghost has cold hands, colder than anything I've touched, wouldn't she already be dead?"
"Who knows. It might just be the hands. Now, tell me what you've learned from the Ghost."

Four days later, Harmony was walking to the school at night. She saw that the Ghost wasn't there.
"Please be safe." Harmony whispered.
Then she heard something hit metal. She looked around and saw Paino hitting a stop sign with a stick. Harmony walked over to her.
"I have a plan." Paino said. "We'll both have to hide in the house."
"Are you sure it'll work this time?" Asked Harmony.
"I promise." Paino said. "Now follow me. I have some stuff to tell you."
Paino and Harmony walked over to the lunch house. Paino unlocked the door, then locked it from the inside.
"Why can't they just lock both?" Asked Harmony.
"It's either in or out. Anyway, you were asking why I was here one week, right?"
"I was."
Paino sighed. "My dad's getting harsh on me about school. He's giving me punishments that he shouldn't even give me."
"Like what?"
"...Just don't ask. Even though I found ways out of the punishment, I still thought it wasn't enough. So every weekend, when I go to my dad's, I walk all the way back here. It's a very long walk, but at least I can survive off grass. I know, it's weird, but there's nothing else that's really here."
"Can't you just ask him to stop it and tell him why it's wrong?"
"The world doesn't work that way."
There was a short silence, but it wasn't silence. There were footsteps.
"Stay silent." Paino whispered.
After a few minutes and a few of Jake and his team's chatting, the team was gone.
"By the way, I like to change my name sometimes. If you want, call me Subzero."
Harmony nodded.
Anyway, one of these days you should meet me right after school, or something like that. I'm here at that time, too."
"I might." Harmony said.
"Anyway, you should be going now. I'll see you next week."

(Is it just me or is this scenery getting boring? Next time I promise they'll be at lunch.)
