The five of them; Harold, Trisha, Wilkes, Penelope and Derek, stood at the bank of the lake, watching the water of the lake sway with the wind which to the five of them, wasn't comforting like it had the last time they were there. This time around, it felt like it forced its way through their pieces of clothing and pulled on their hairs of their skin in a way that caused excruciating pain to them.The evening sun shone from above, causing the lake to have a darker shade of red than it actually was and although the sky itself wasn't blood red like it had when Trisha and Wilkes had rescued the contestants or when Trisha had taken a picture of the sky, it was mystifying, too. Not a bird or any other living organism could be seen flying. It seemed like everything was dead. Everything but the five of them."... what... do you think is the cause of... this?" Harold asked the four others with a dry mouth.As the lake swayed befor

"Dr. Giovanni?" Derek whispered to himself as he hid behind the thick trunk of a tree, watching Dr. Giovanni stand beside a black Jeep. A few thorns from the tree's trunk pricked his skin but he didn't mind. If he did, he wasn't showing it."What is he doing here?" he asked himself as he dared to move even closer. He scrambled to a tree closer to the Vice Chancellor and from there, watched all that was going on in complete silence."The ghouls can't find them anywhere," Derek heard Dr. Giovanni say into his phone. He stopped talking for a few seconds and Derek guessed it was because whoever he was talking to was replying him. "They had an heads up from Ericson," he told the person on the other end of the phone again and was silent.There seemed to be something evil about the way he carried himself, the tone with which he spoke, his facial expression, too, and from where Derek was, he knew Dr. Peyton Giovanni wasn't there to save the

"Run!" Trisha said loudly so that the others could hear and yes, they did. Dr. Giovanni was still taking a few seconds to know what had happened behind him and regain control of the situation but although none of the students had prepared for what happened except for maybe Harold who had seen Trisha's wand earlier, they all obeyed what Trisha said. They all began to run for their lives.Their legs swept through the grasses as they took short, quick strides, they plunged into small ditches, too, and the lower part of their legs, were clawed by thorns but they didn't mind. Escape was the only thing their brain could interprete at the moment.They ran for nothing less than four hundred metres before fatigue began to set in."That was brilliant of you, Trisha," Harold said as he and the others kept on moving although not at a pace as fast as they did earlier."Thank... you," she replied amidst pan

In the space of five seconds, professor Ericson's wolf had evolved had taken over.His wolf was white furred and the hair that stood out of its muscular frame were long and curly and they swayed gracefully with every touch of the breeze.Francis stood with the fake orb still in his hands as his friend's wolf ran a few metres towards the mountain, raised its head up into the air and sniffed in.After a few sniffs, it ran in the opposite direction, towards the forest and took in the scents that lingered here and there.With the help of the skunk's fart that had been sprayed on the contestants, it was easy for a wolf to spot them out.Professor Ericson's human body surfaced once again."They didn't go up to the mountains. In fact, they barely took any steps in that direction after seeing this bogus orb.""So when it broke they just decided to go back to schoo

The car swerved through a lot of trees with the skillful driver who happened to be Francis, holding on to the steering wheel with a frown on his face fostered by unwavering focus.A fat tree with extremely thick and long branches spread out by a few metres. It was at the very last minute that the illuminating headlight of the car caught it and for the umpteenth time that night, they managed to survive a collosal accident that'll leave them stranded in the forest."So you believe they were transported to the school?" Francis asked, trying to start up a conversation. The insides of the car was being too serious. Not that it really was any of their faults."I know so," professor Ericson replied just before he swallowed a large lump of saliva that caused the skin around his neck to twitch a little. "Haven't you ever really wondered how Martha was killed? It wasn't here in the forest.""My mental health couldn't carry al
