When the professor leading the archaeological dig orders the sarcophagus to be opened, they find the deceased has a wooden stake impaled deep into his chest. Lucy sees something that shouldn't be real. When she questions the contents of the sarcophagus, the professor gives Lucy a response that makes her think that she's affected by the illness that has suddenly hit the camp. Lucy will soon learn that it's not an illness that is plaguing the camp but something far deadlier. © This story is copyrighted.

One year later Skylar Anderson, enrolled in Philadelphia College of Arts, has nothing more to worry about other than dozing off between classes. And her might-just-be crumbling relationship with her boyfriend--Caden Miller. Long-distance relationship wasn't what Skylar had been looking forward to. Not when her boyfriend was once again finding it a little too hard to not go back to his old ways. Old, secretive ways with the mysterious New York gangs. It's like they all say: once a gang leader, always a gang leader. Or a liar. Both of them works. New secrets once more brewing to the surface, with a past that was better left buried. Not to forget, the police department was also searching for Blake Matthews--who, unfortunately (or not) had escaped prison bars. There was so much Skylar thought she knew, but she didn't. So much that's been left in the dark. And secrets always have a way of coming out. After all, what's a life without some lies? Text copyright © Crystal7016 ™ 2022

She can either drive away, never knowing what the timer counts down to, or risk her life to save Elias, who could have all the answers. *** Written for The Open Novella Contest 2021 (Prompt 54)
