After class ended, they left with mixed feelings. Meredith still felt uneasy, but the others seemed to be trying to enjoy their day as much as possible. "Let's go to the campus café first, shall we?" Maya suggested. "I need coffee to get my brain working again after that 'invisible energy' discussion." Lucas raised his hand. "Agreed! I'm almost out of energy." They walked together to the café located in the centre of the campus park. It was always crowded, filled with students chatting, working on assignments, or relaxing after class. The smell of coffee filled the air, mixing with the sound of laughter and the clinking of spoons in cups. Meredith took a seat by the window, letting the sunlight shine on her face. She needed a moment to calm her mind. However, as she looked out, her eyes were glued to something-the shadow of someone in the distance, standing near the library building. The man was dressed all in black, silent and motionless as if watching them. "Mer, your d

Meredith locked her phone and took a deep breath, trying to shake off the uneasiness that was creeping into her mind. Not now. She didn't want to ruin this moment. Raven noticed her movement and whispered, "We'll talk about this later, okay? We need to keep it casual." Meredith nodded slowly. She decided to keep her suspicions to herself for the time being and let herself enjoy the atmosphere of the afternoon. On the court, Lucas and Jeremy were still busy competing one-on-one in their little basketball game. Maya laughed at Jeremy's attempts to get the ball in accurately. "You should learn from me," Maya said while eating her ice cream casually. Jeremy snorted. "Oh yeah? Want to prove it?" Maya smiled a challenging smile. She stood up, grabbed the ball, and in one seemingly effortless motion, threw it towards the hoop. The ball travelled in a perfect traject

Mornings on the Lorywood campus are back to business as usual-or at least, that's how it seems.   After a festival full of excitement, students went back to their routines. Some are still discussing the excitement of the night, especially the inflatable sumo fight between Ben and Jeremy that has now gone viral in the campus group. Others are busy with practice for the approaching sports competition.   In between all that, Meredith tried to convince herself that everything was okay. That all the weirdness she felt was only in her mind. That the man in black she kept seeing was just a figment of her imagination.   "Of course everything is fine," she murmured softly, more to herself than anyone else.   But the strange feeling remained.   That afternoon, Meredith, Maya, Lucas, and Raven were g

The days at Lorywood Campus are still full of colour. The festival continues, and the ball is just days away. There seemed to be no room for fear. On the centre court, the dodgeball game is getting more and more exciting. Cheers erupted, fuelling the spirits of those competing.Jeremy performed another amazing manoeuvre, dodging the ball with an almost impossible leap. "Jeremy! I swear, you're not human!" shouted Lucas from the stands. Jeremy just laughed smugly. "Of course not. I'm superhuman." Meredith, who was sitting with Maya and Ben, just shook her head with a smile. On the other side, the prom committee was busy with the final preparations. The main hall had been decorated with dim lights, and in the music room, rehearsals were going on. Everything was peaceful. It was almost like a little paradise. However, amidst all the excitement, something felt... odd. Something that could only be sensed by those who were sensitive enough. Meredith let out a long sigh as sh

It was getting late, but neither Sister Helena nor Mr Adrian showed any sign of wanting to stop. They were now sitting in the clinic's administration room, piles of incident reports and student records scattered across the table. "So," Sister Helena said with a sigh, "you're sure those footprints came from someone who was in the garden before Meredith was found?" Mr Adrian nodded, his hands pressing against his temples. "Yes. The footprints are bigger than Meredith's, and too deep. Someone stood there for a long time. And the direction of the tracks is towards the library." Sister Helena bit her lip. "And Raven was in the library that night..." "True," Mr Adrian leaned back in his chair. "But what puzzles me are Meredith's words before she fainted-'She was there... but not her.' What does that mean?" Sister Helena shook her head slowly. "Maybe... something 'other' took Raven's form?" The atmosphere in the room was suddenly colder. Mr Adrian straightened up. "You think th
