She ran as fast as she could go, afraid to look behind her. Everything that transpired in the past few hours was a blur. She finally stopped running and caught her breath. She pulled her hand away from her stomach and started gagging at the sight of her hand covered in a crimson ooze. She heard a rustling from the forest behind her and started to run again. She continued to run for a few minutes until she saw a town. She noticed the mailbox of a certain house and saw the name on it.

 Inside the house:

Luz Noceda was peacefully sleeping. Even after all the bullying she received that day, nothing could make her upset. Why? It was October, the one month of the year where being weird and obsessed with supernatural was a normal thing. She was woken up by heavy pounding on the front door. She looked tiredly at the clock and saw it say 2:54 A.M. She got out of bed and opened her bedroom door. She saw her mother doing the same.

"Mom, did you hear that knocking as well?" Luz asked before yawning.

"Yes, I did. Whoever is knocking on the door at this hour, it better be life or death." Mrs. Noceda said angrily.

The two walked to the front door and Mrs. Noceda opened it. Luz immediately forgot about her tired state due to the sight she saw on the front step.

"A-Amity?"

"Luz...help."

Amity passed out into Luz's arms. Luz looks at her mother with panic in her eyes. The only thought going through her head, 'What Happened?'
