It's a typical day in Sunhill, a small town in America, until a body is found in a dark alley. The death is ruled a homicide, and the investigation begins. As the police try to uncover the truth, more bodies were discovered. The whole town is suddenly in the grip of fear as their once peaceful home is long gone and now a place of tears and sorrow. It became clear that there's a serial killer on the loose. As the bodies pile up, fear grips the town of Sunhill. No one feels safe anymore. They're afraid to leave their homes at night, and parents keep a close eye on their children. Everyone is on edge, and it seems like the killer could strike at any moment. The police seem to be trying their best but they couldn't apprehend the killer. A group of high schoolers, who were sad about the events occurring in their hometown were determined to find the truth, but they have no idea what they're up against.

Lihat lebih banyakIt was a typical day at Sunhill High, and the students were all in class, working on their latest assignments. In Ms. Johnson's class, the students were getting ready to start a new science project. Alice sat at her desk, looking confident and self-assured as she waited for the class to begin. Next to her, Nora sat quietly, her eyes fixed on the teacher's desk. The tension in the room was palpable, and the students could feel it in the air.
Ms. Johnson stood up and began speaking, "Good morning, everyone! Today, we'll be starting a new science project…" she paused. "I've divided you all into groups of four," all the students groaned, revealing their disinterest. Ms. Johnson continued. "The groups will work together to complete the project. For this project, you'll be researching a local ecosystem. Each group will be assigned a different ecosystem, and you'll need to research its plants, animals, and other characteristics. You'll then write a report on your findings and present it to the class. Does everyone understand the assignment?"Alice and Reggie exchanged a look. They both knew that they would be in the same group. They had always been paired together in each project since middle school.As Ms. Johnson began to assign groups, the students waited with bated breath to hear who they would be working with. Finally, Ms. Johnson announced, "Group 1 will be Alice, Reginald…"Reggie pulled his chair towards Alice."Same as always, partner." He said and Alice chuckled. ".. Nora and Fred.""What?!" Nora yelled "why will you pair me up with her?" She continued in the same tone."Miss Jones, I'd really like for you to lower your voice. Whatever difference is between you and Miss Smith I urge you to sort it out and make the project work, because I would not be changing groups. Hope we're clear?" Ms Johnson said sternly.As soon as the words left her mouth, Alice and Nora both groaned inwardly . They knew that working together would be a challenge, and they didn't know if they could put their differences aside for the sake of the project. But they had no choice. They would have to work together."Let's get started, everyone," Ms. Johnson said cheerfully.As the class got to work, Alice, Nora, Reggie, and Fred sat at their desks, staring at each other awkwardly. No one knew what to say, and the tension was thick in the air.Finally, Reggie spoke up, "So, um, I guess we should start by discussing the ecosystem we've been assigned?"Alice nodded."I still don't understand why I have to work with her." Nora said with her arms crossed. Alice scoffed. She was about to reply her when Ms. Johnson's voice interrupted them."You'll need to gather your samples this afternoon, so you can analyze them in class tomorrow. I've made a list of locations where you can find your samples."She handed out the lists, and Alice, Nora, Reggie, and Fred quickly scanned theirs. "It says we have to go to the forest near the edge of town," Alice said."The forest is called Raven's Wood," Nora said, reading from the list. "It's on the edge of town, near the old abandoned mill.""That mill is creepy," Reggie said, shivering. "The stories about it are pretty spooky.""It's just a bunch of silly stories," Alice said dismissively. "I'm not scared of any old mill.""Well, I am," Nora said, crossing her arms. "I don't like going to spooky places.""But we have to go to the forest to get our samples," Fred pointed out.The group continued to argue back and forth, with Alice and Nora taking opposing sides and Reggie and Fred caught in the middle. Finally, the bell rang, and the group reluctantly agreed to meet after school to go to the forest.As they gathered their things and left the classroom, the sky began to darken, and the wind picked up. The leaves rustled ominously in the trees, and the shadows lengthened across the school grounds. The old abandoned mill loomed on the horizon, its windows dark and empty.The group hesitated, but they knew they had to go through with their plan.As they approached the forest, the air grew colder, and the trees seemed to close in around them. They could hear the wind whispering through the branches, and the sound of their footsteps seemed to echo eerily in the silence.They reached the edge of the forest and looked around, uncertain of where to start. The trees were dense and tangled, and it was difficult to see very far into the darkness."I don't like this," Nora said, her voice shaking. "Let's just go back to school."But Alice shook her head. "We have to get our samples.Reluctantly, the group entered the forest, their footsteps muffled by the thick layer of leaves on the ground. As they walked deeper into the trees, they began to notice strange things. The wind seemed to whisper strange words, and they could hear the rustling of branches that they couldn't see. They started to feel as if they were being watched, and they felt a growing sense of unease."That's it, I'm going home, y'all can wait here and get killed," Nora said."Yeah, run away, scaredy little cat, but remember you're getting an F because no one here is going to cover for you." Alice yelled."What did you just call me?" Nora yelled, advancing towards her."A coward," Alice yelled in her face.They broke into a fight. The boys tried to separate them. They all fell to the ground. Nora stumbled upon a something."Ouch! What is that?" She said.The bag soon caught everyone's attention. They all moved towards the bag and surrounded it. It was getting dark so they couldn't make sense if what it is."Let's open it," Alice said."Why are you always so inquisitive?" Nora snarled."I can't help it," Alice replied.The four curious teenagers surrounded the bag, unaware that they were about to make the biggest mistake of their life by letting their curiosity take over them. They had no idea that their lives was about to change drastically.Alice opened her eyes and yawned. She stood up groggy and walked to the bathroom. She saw her reflection in the mirror and screamed. She was quick to place her hand on her mouth to prevent her from screaming further. Her hair looked disheveled and her eyes looked so puffy. She ran to the bathroom. She came out after taking a bath and stared at herself in the mirror. She smiled at her reflection. She remembered how your g cared for her the previous night. She chuckled slightly.She got dressed and left the room. She made a mental note to avoid her mother at any costs. With this thought, she walked sneakily down the stairs."Going somewhere this early, Alice,"Alice halted midways as she heard her mother's voice. She bit her lip and cursed inwardly. She turned around slowly and saw her mother standing with arms crossed. "Without breakfast too? "Patricia said with an eyebrow raised."Good morning mum, I'm just heading to school," Alice said and forced a smile on her face. "Good mornin
Nora laid on her bed trying to get some sleep. But no matter how long she tries, sleep seems to be miles away from her. Frustrated, she got up and walked to the window. She stared into space. She heard a knock on her door. She wondered who it could be. She was sure her mother would still be chatting with Lucas by now, and her father would probably be in the study with his head buried in piles of files. "Who is it?" She asked. "It's me," came the response from the other side of the door. She recognized the voice to be her father's. She wondered if she had perhaps done something wrong and was going to be scolded. "Come in dad," she said as she mentally prepared herself for what might happen next. The door creaked open and Alex walked in with a tray of food in his hands. She was a bit surprised by the gesture. She hurried to him and was quick to collect the tray from him. She placed it on the small table in front of the couch. She proceeded to sit on the couch. Alex sat beside her
Alice walked into the house. She walked to the stairs when she suddenly stopped. She decided to go to her mum and inform her about the party. "Mum," she called as she walked to her study. She entered and saw her father going through some files. He stood up immediately when he saw her."Hello princess," he said, smiling widely. "Hey dad, where is mum?" She asked. "She went to get something, she'll be back soon," he said. "How is school?" He asked. "It was fine dad," she replied. "I'll be in my room," she added. Alice was about to leave the study when Patricia entered. Her gaze went directly to Paul who was standing by her desk. Her eyes widened in shock. She dropped the glass of water she was holding, the glass shattered on impact."Mum!" Alice called in surprise. Patricia looked at Alice. She hadn't noticed her presence before as she was focused on the sight of her husband with a file on his hands. She forced a smile on her face."Hey Alice, I need you to go to your room right
Nora walked out of her classroom. She was the last person to leave the classroom. She dreaded going to the diner after what transpired between Alice and her during lunch. She felt like Alice was mad at her. She had barely taken a few steps out of the class when she heard a voice. "Thank God," She was startled. She turned around swiftly trying to figure out who the intruder was when she saw Fred sitting in a corner. "Gosh, you scared me," she said. "I thought you were never gonna come out, I was waiting for you," he said. "Why?" Was the first question that came to her mind, but she decided against asking. "Okay then, let's go," she said. "Yeah but I need help to stand up," he said and grinned. Nora rolled her eyes before walking to him. He helped him up and they both walked away. ...Nora and Fred walked into the diner. They saw Alice and Reggie laughing about something. Nora scoffed. Fred stared at her. She turned and noticed him staring at her. "Why are you staring at me
The bell rang signifying the end of the class and beginning of lunch break. A group of students, mostly girls, rushed towards Reggie. "Reggie, why have you been absent all these days?" A girl asked."What happened to your arm?" Another one asked."Are you hurt deeply?" The questions kept rushing in. "Relax, I just had a little accident at home," Reggie said with a smile."Did you fall down the stairs?" A girl chipped in.Reggie was about to reply to her when he caught a glimpse of Fred struggling to stand up from his seat with the crutches. He stood up from his seat and walked to him."Let me help you," he said.Fred looked at him surprised. It took him a few seconds to wrap his head around it. "You sure your friends wouldn't mind?" Fred asked, his gaze went behind Reggie. Reggie followed his gaze and saw the group that was talking to him earlier glaring at him. They were obviously shocked as they had probably never seen him talk to Fred before."They'd be fine," Reggie said and
Fred walked up to his mother who was sitting outside their trailer. He contemplated whether to tell her about what was on his mind but he later decided otherwise. He turned to go back into the trailer. Martha turned around when she heard footsteps. She saw her son struggling to walk into the trailer with his crutches. She called out to him. "Come sit with me "she said as she gently tapped the empty space beside her. Fred walked back to his mother and sat next to her. They both looked up to the sky. It was a starry night. It had become an habit of Martha's to stare at the stars on a starry night. She believed her late husband had become one of the stars shining bright and watching over them.Tears welled up in the corner of her eyes threatening to fall. She blinked in order to stop the tears from falling. Fred didn't notice the tears in his mother's eyes until she sniffed. His gaze traveled to her face. "Mum, you're crying," he said softly. He gently dabbed the tears away from her
