Three's a crowd.

"Woah, Hope calm down."

Hope POV

I was sitting on the ground by a nearby tree. I couldn't really comprehend what was happening anymore. I knew Jessica said someone was coming but this was on another level to what she did. Who could this person be? Have they really been here all this time? Are they watching me right now?

Jessica's body was taken down and MG and Kaleb were going to a part in the woods to burn it. I was going to do it but then I saw her face and had to sit down and have a moment. Jed had taken Alyssa away to calm her down because she had found her. Writing on the wall was one thing but hanging up a body was on a different playing field. Who could do that without remorse and now are probably somewhere else just going about there daily life.

I am sitting there for another bit when I saw someone off in the distance from the other's. They had their hood up. They were careful not to be seen and then they turned and took off in another direction. I got up and took after them and soon caught up. They hear me and try and run for it. I catch up easily and throw them against the nearest tree. 

The hood came down. It was Jed.

"Woah, Hope. Calm down."

"Sorry, Jed. I just thought someone was sulking around. Didn't you take Alyssa away to calm her down or something?"

He seemed confused.

"Oh yeah. I did. She took this potion to help her sleep. I wanted to come back out here and see if there is anything I can do to help. So is there?"

"MG and Kaleb is away deeper into the woods to burn her body. You can go join them if you want. Things have been pretty much wrapped up and everyone is heading back. Dr Saltzman is going to have a assembly to address what is happening."

Jed smiled.

"Got it Hope. Sorry for being creepy, just sneaking around. I should know you have the whole school protected by now. I'll go find MG and Kaleb and help them. You should go back to the school and make sure everything is fine. I know this isn't easy for you. Lets talk later."

Jed smiled again and then headed off in the opposite direction.

That was weird. 

Lizzie POV

I had made it back to the school and was going to the canteen to get something to eat before heading into the school. Hope was finally going to give me the neckless that she got me a good while ago. With everything that has been going on, Hope hasn't really had the chance to actually give it me. 

I was going into town to get my favourite food and I found a spell to keep it warm so it will be like we were actually going out to a restaurant which I hope we can do some day together. I smiled just thinking about it. 

I got into the canteen and everyone seemed to be trying to enjoy themselves with everything going on. I saw Jed in the line getting food. His plate was filled up high.

"What up Lizzie. How are you?"

"Fine, Jed. Let me guess. This food isn't for you, is it?"

"No. You caught me. Alyssa is not really handling finding a dead body well and I though I would try to cheer her up a bit and get her to eat something at them same time."

"Yeah I am trying to do the same believe it or not."

"Josie told me about you mystery someone. The offer for a double date is on the table for you and your date as well. If you want to, that is."

"I'll think about it. Thank's Jed."

"No problem. We need more couples around here. Catch you later Liz."
