Prologue

"I think we should burn this book,its sinister and horrific",Tiffany said holding a black saggy diary standing around the fire with her school mates in the middle of the night. "Seriously Tiffany?That's what you called us here for?",Riley asked. "You already know that if we burn it we'll all die right?",Chloe said. "Plus you should've just told us on the phone and surely I wouldn't have come because this idea is highly irregular",Marko said. "Okay I knew that if I had informed all of you on the phone no one would've showed up" "Its because you're naive Tiffany,intending to grab a thought that I would actually sacrifice myself to all these obsessive imbecile maniacs",Rin said. "Well I'm sorry you feel that way but partly the ones you just called maniacs are all of our families dipshit!!",Tiffany exclaimed. "Well Its not my fault that the truth hurts",he responded as Tiffany grasped one of the wood on fire. "Alright alright,break it up you two",Max halted the fight.Tiffany dropped the wood. "But seriously guys do you actually think that the six of us are worth all of the people in this town?",Tiffany asked. "Absolutely,its not like they don't sin or anything",Rin said. "And you don't?",Chloe folded her arms. "That's a different case",he replied as Tiffany scoffed. "Okay let's just focus for a moment alright?....What are we going to do about this fucking book?"Marko asked. "Apparently nothing,the only solution here is to finish what we started",Tiffany said. "Oh you mean what you started?",Max said. "Guys come on",Tiffany said. "I wouldn't have been here if it wasn't for you and your stupidity",Rin said. "Okay you know what Rin,fuck you!!,If you want to leave,then the road is yours....oh yes but you can't because we're in this together now and none of us don't have any other choice",Tiffany exclaimed as Rin just stared at her silently with his cold eyes. "We just have to stick together and all of this will be over soon....hopefully",Riley said. "Yeah no shit",Max said. "Shouldn't we inform the cops?",Chloe suggested. "I'm pretty sure the book made it crystal clear that we shouldn't tell anyone or the ones we tell will face their last breath",Marko replied. "Well,what if its bluffing?",Chloe asked. "A dozen of people just died Chloe,does that look like bluffing to you?How were you even raised?",Rin asked. "Much perfect actually,unlike you",Chloe faced him. "That's the dilemma,you're too perfect,you're too shiny and your own light is also blinding you from these horrors.This is not a fairytale",Rin said. "Says the one who's part of a rock gang thinking that they rule the entire school,tell me Rin,who's actually living a fairytale between us?",Chloe questioned. "Guys this.....isn't going to get us anywhere,so I suggest we make a truce then.No one and I mean no one should know about this book and about us working together not even our parents not even the principal alright and if we want to get through this we should work together without any fights,and this diary should not be found by any other besides us so we shall not hide it at the same hiding spot,we'll switch locations alright?I really hope I'm perfectly heard",Marko said. "Agreed",Tiffany responded as well as the others. "Rin?",Marko waited for response.Rin stared at him for a moment,he sighed a bit. "Fine",he responded.

Chapter One

'The beginning of it all'

My name is Marko Heinz,I'm one of our group of six.We call ourselves the blood squad.Does it sound a bit cheezy?Well I don't care,I'm not the one who came up with the name.Our junior year was supposed to be natural,normal and fun but fate had other priorities.It made it nothing typical and somehow we got used to it,it might sound a bit weird but weird became a second resort of typical for us.As for the basketball team which I was involved,my coach had higher hopes for me this year.His motive is that he sees some kind of spark inside of me which is very distinct to ignore.I really had no knowledge of that spark but hey!It wouldn't hurt to find out what my true potential really is capable of right?I just have to be extra attentive on basketball and my grades and less our unessential group though deep down I don't think it'll be that convinient.I guess we won't know until we know right?

8:10am sharp.The weather was chilly and hungry for warmth.The school bell rang for the first period lessons. "Never mind the bell,so she then entered my room,I was minding my own shit looking for my stored alcohol bottle since the party was still on.Then she closed shut the door and I quickly looked back then she suddenly stripped.It seemed like she wasn't wearing any bra or panties....",Luke said chatting with Marko standing by their lockers.A blonde girl walked passed them with her books stuffed against her chest. "Hey Chloe can you stop by for a sec?",Luke called out to her. "Get to class Luke",she replied and entered the class. "Bad timing?",Luke questioned Marko with a flummoxed face. "Are you seriously asking that?Let's get to class bro",Marko laughed a bit and shut his locker and they both head to class.The science teacher Mr Gildon,explained the notes while the students were writing.Ten of the senior students walked passed the class door outside with contentment printed on their faces heading outside. "Look at that,....soon it will be us.....seniors.....graduating",Jena a brown haired girl,rested her chin on her clenched fist facing the entrance while she spoke a bit low. "Can't even tend to imagine what that would feel like.....leaving your friends behind,....spending the rest of the months like your life depends on it",said Kimberely,she was a raven haired. "Hey!Party,...tonight,at my house 8:30pm sharp,you're all invited",Luke leaned aside whispering to them. "Oouu,count us in",Jena replied. "Of course,it wouldn't so bad to get wild in a while,....right Tiffy?",Kimberely leaned to her other side. "Definitely negative,I'll be in the library for the night,I have to finish my article",Tiffany replied.She was a brown haired gorgeous green eyed girl. "Borinnngg",Kimberely said. "Come on,don't be such a party pooper",Jena said. "And you don't be such an obnoxious bee,always buzzing,can you shut your loquacious bubbling mouth for once in a while?I ought to concentrate",Tiffany said. "Okayyy",Jena waved her hands a bit with her eyebrows raised.The lessons went on as usual and break arrived.Both juniors and seniors were crowded in a line at the food counters receiving their fills.Some ate in the break hall,some ate in the school lounge and some at the school campus outside with the fresh air.The school gang showed up in the break hall and received their fill.They called themselves the black hawks,they wore black leather jackets and black jeans.Their leader Harvard was the one at the front followed by his other seven fellows,Rollins,Brody,Villa,Holly,Camilla,Stoney and Rin.They sat at their usual spot.While the four usual basketball guys sat at theirs which involved Terry,Lesly,Gary and Marko.Followed by another four man football guys,The Eagles which included Sally,Alvin,Derreck and Max. "And the darkness shows up",Kain said looking back at them over his shoulder. "Tell me about it,though it would be super hot to fall for one of them",Kimberely said. "Nuh you're way off the chats,I'd prefer one of the eagles,though I already have one,....Derreck...gosh he never stops to be so dashing",Jena rested her cheek on her palm. "Falling in love with one of the hawks?You gotta be shitting",Tiffany said with her article in her hand and a soda in her other hand. "Ughh,there she goes again,everything about you is negative.Ever even tested positive for any disease?And also what the fuck are you doing?",Kimberely said pointing at Tiffany's article. "I have to finish this by tomorrow you know" "What's the article about anyways?",Jena asked. "Human rights" "Uhh,you're becoming way too political",Kimberely said "Its for my grades,what the fuck am I supposed to do?",Tiffany said as Kimberely scoffed. "I heard there's a newbie in school",Kain said. "A freshman?Well who is he?",Kimberely asked. "Its more like a she" "Oh,...who is she then?" "Beats me.....oh there she is,see for yourself",Kain said with their eyes on the new girl who had just showed up.She was sweet and kind like judging by her body language and expression.She seemed a bit edgy.She received her fill at the counter then she started to search for an empty space to fill with her eyes.Everywhere was crowded.Then finally she noticed a girl sitting on her own and she approached. "Sllsssshhhh,bad idea",Kain said with a low voice. "I don't like where this is heading",Jena said. "Hi I'm Lindy,um is the sit taken?",Lindy asked.The girl who was sitted slowly looked up to her with her dark brown cold eyes chewing her fries retarted.Her name was Aliah,black jacket,black jeans,black hill boots and yet super pretty. "Of course not",she replied. "Oh okay thanks,I'm actually new here",Lindy said as she sat. "Who said you could sit?",Aliah questioned. "Uh,but you said the seat wasn't taken-I thought-" "You thought what?Mmm?That I needed a friend?Just because I'm sitting on my own?" "Um,uh I-" "What do you take me for?A fucking needy narcissistic?Don't you think you're the one who's acting like one?" "Um I wasn't...all the seats were taken so I-" "Is that my problem?I've got my own problems to deal with and you want me to solve yours as well?" "No I-" "Get the fuck out of my sight before I bitch slap you!",Aliah insisted.Lindy's tears were at the edge of her eyes,she slowly stood up and left. "Oooh,that was pretty harsh Aliah,don't you think?",said Natasha after approaching Aliah standing by the bench,she was a hotty one,with a purple vest crept aside to her arm and black tight jeans and black boots. "Piss off Natasha!",Aliah said. "Back at ya asshole",Natasha replied.Aliah hastily stood up and faced her. "You wanna do this?Right here?",Aliah questioned. "Oouu you feeling cocky?I'll shove that shitty cold attitude of yours deep into your fucking asshole",Natasha replied. "Oh,...really?I didn't know you like fisting females too" "The only thing I'll be fisting is your face" "I'd surely love to see you try",Aliah said.There was a glimpse of silence for a moment,staring each other in the eyes.Then the bell rang. "Saved by the bell",Aliah said. "I could say the same thing",Natasha replied,then she left with their eyes locked on each other.Aliah grabbed her dark purple back pack and collided with the crowd.The lessons passed on and came to an end.Students exited the school building heading home. "Party at my house everybody!!",Luke yelled and everyone went a bit wild."You're all invited 8:30pm sharp".Time flew and the people were crowded at Luke's house.People were drinking,playing games,making out,having sex in the private rooms.The hawks came through afterwards and collided with the crowd. "This is pointless",Rin said. "Well its a party!!Brody yelled as he went on to the beer games. "This is unessential,I'm going outside",Rin said. "Hey hey relax.....okay?",Villa stood in front of him.She was a hot brown haired.Rin's ex.She slid her hand to his chest and bit her lip facing him. "Villa...we're not together anymore remember?",Rin questioned. "Yes,I do recall.But that doesn't mean that we can't have a little bit of fun,does it?",she whipered in his ear."Come on,I know you still want this",she returned to his face and leaned for a kiss. "I'm going outside",he set her aside and head to the exit. "Well you're no fun!!",Villa yelled.Rin grabbed a bottle and walked toward the exit as he bumped into Aliah. "Ouuf,watch where you're going dipshit!!",she snarled and walked away. "Ugh,what a bunch of rip off's",he said and went outside.While the party was still wild Tiffany was at the town library finishing her article.She had her earphones plugged into her ears. "Political,economic changes in......ugh God damnit",she stood up and approached a column of one of the shelves."political....political,political",she said dragging her fingers across the books searching her desired book. "Political",she found it,she pulled it out.She then saw another one wrapped with a khaki material.She paused and grabbed it and went back to her table.She placed both books on the table.She sat then she tore off the khaki material.It was a black old saggy diary.It was locked with a small metal lock beside it.There was a white piece of paper on top which read 'Warning!!Do not tear off this paper nor speak the words which lies under it for this diary is dark and sinister' "You kidding me....right?",she laughed a bit.She pulled out her earphones.She stripped off the paper and she saw a phrase written in blood. "Haha,there's no way this is blood.....is this paint or what,but its thicker.Okay nice prank but halloween passed like months ago!!",she yelled.It seemed like she was the only one left in the bulding,the guards were outside and the one in charge was in the restroom. "Ohhhkayy,fine....what kind of language is this ?Latin?Greek?Arabic?Nuh....mmm,a lock huh?Great",she stared at the diary with a bothered face and sighed. "Ugh I can't believe I'm doing this right now,I look like an imbecile.If someone is actually taking a video of me it would probably go viral...ehm",she cleared her throat.She started to read out the phrase. "Experimento son van tus,experimento son van tus,experimento son van tus",she said then the lock unlocked and it fell.She kneeled down and searched for it but she didn't find it.She stood up. "Guess the lock was getting old or something",she opened the diary and skipped a couple of pages and there were dark symbols,words and dark sinister drawings. "Mm somehow I find it hard to believe that this is actually satanic.I'm impressed though,the one behind this prank should be awarded for the pranker of the year",she said then a powerful wind approached and all the windows and doors opened,even the locked ones.Tiffany screamed and lowered herself covering herself.As for Luke's house the party was still wild. "Well well well,look who decided to show up",Derreck with his team approached the hawks. "We could say the same thing",Harvard said while sitting on the chair drinking his beer as the rest faced each other. "You and your cocky crew,you think you're badass,rocksters,who runs the school?Well newsflash mighty hawk",he air quoted,"we....the eagles are the ones who rule the entire school,not you bottom feeders",Derreck said. "Ehm,yeah,...right,...um you call yoursleves the eagles huh?If the four of you claim to be the eagles as you claim you are then what makes the rest of you?",Harvard stood up from the chair he was sitting and faced him. "Oh we're representing them",Max said. "So they can't represent themselves?",Holly asked. "See our crew is all about unity and integrity and we also represent ourselves,all of us.That's what a flock does and from the looks of it,the four of you coming to taunt us?I don't know about eagles but to these people you're just a bunch of robins",Harvard replied. "Whooooaaaaaaaa",the people woed. "We're the beacon of this school,you're just a bunch of outlaws",Alvin said. "Somehow I find it hard to believe",a voice spoke from the door entrance as all of them looked back.Rin appeared through the crowd and regrouped with his crew.The other students murmured. "Ugh I've had it with those retarted impudent hawks always coming back at my boyfriend",Jena said. "Well he's the one who starts it all",Kain shrugged his shoulders. "Shut up",Jena replied back. "If you're looking for a fight then we'll be elated to oblige",Rin said.They all faced each other and clenched their fists then a powerful wind blew upon the house and all the windows and doors opened.Everyone startled and agitated a bit. "Ugh what the hell?!!",Harvard yelled,it then stopped.Tiffany was still lowered down the ground and after a few seconds it stopped. "What the hell was that?Is a storm coming or something?I better get back home",she packed her stuff and left...then she halted.She looked back at the dark book she left at the table.She walked back toward it then she picked it up and stuffed it in her back pack and she headed back home. The people at the party wondered about the wind.There was quarelling fighting noises of plates and cups in the kitcchen. "What the hell is going on in there?",Chloe asked. "Its those two again",Luke stood beside her sipping his beer. "Let me guess,Aliah and Natasha?",Chloe asked. "Who else?",he finished off his beer. "What is it with those two",she asked. "They've been like that since the beginning,spitting at each others aura,bad taste against each other.But what actually surprises me is that they're the same in every way",Luke said. "Ugh can this party get any worse?",right after Cloe asked they all heared sirens of police approaching at a distance. "You had to ask didn't you?",Luke said. "I'm not going to apologize for it ,besides this party was a total dipshit after all",Chloe said and regrouped with the crowd leaving through the exit. "Well,seems like we'll settle this some other time,looking forward to it",Derreck said. "Its a date then",Harvard said dramatically and Derreck cuffed Jena into his arm and they left and the hawks left afterwards.It was 23:30 pm. Tiffany readied herself for bed. "Make sure you shut the windows okay?!",her mother yelled from downstairs while she was heading to her room upstairs. "Okay mom!",she yelled back.Then on her way she walked past her eight year old sister Trina wearing her pajamas then she snatched her and embraced her. "No,no no no no no",Trina fidgeted then Tiffany uploaded her with loads of kisses as she chuckled a bit. "Okay okaythat's enough",Trina said and Tiffany kissed her on the forehead. "Goodnight" "Goodnight big sis",Trina walked a distance apart then she looked back.Then Tiffany raised her fingers and leaned forward a bit then she took a step forward attempting to charge then Lily screamed while she chuckled and rushed into her room and Tiffany laughed entering hers.She shut the door and got on her bed and covered herself with her blankets.She looked at the diary she took from the library which was beside the light on her stand.Then she switched off the light and drifted away to sleep.A strange man appeared at her window staring at her.He was wearing a black hat,black cloth which covered his mouth and nose,black long jacket,black gloves,trousers and boots.He was holding an axe with blood on it. "Awaken",he said.

'First blood'

My name is Chloe Houtson.I'm one of the six.The shitty bloody group.Let's just say I got caught in the cross fire.Our lives felt like they were limited.The way we started to speak,so that we don't say much about the dark book.The way we acted,the way we handled our nerves.We weren't even supposed to meet.Well that's what another part of me thinks and another one,actually thinks that maybe this was my destiny.Bluhhhgggghhh,I can't believe I just said that.Well because I found something special.We couldn't handle the horrors that came our way but....we tried with every fibre of our beings.My grades were....stagnent,they were,moderate.Every single day was all about the book,the book the book the book the book I wish everyone would just fucking stop saying THAT!,Deep breaths,deep breaths.To be quite honest.I didn't have a clue of how our lives were going to lead up to,pain or death.

Tiffany hastily woke up as she sat up gasping for air.She sighed and covered her face with both of her hands.It was already 6:30 am. "It was just a dream",she spoke with a low voice.She stared at the diary for a moment. "Fuck!.....my article!",she yelled. Hilgate High School.The bell had already rang,the students were in their classes awaiting for their lecturers. "Worst party ever",Kimberely said. "Right back at ya,those fucking hawks,its all their fault",Jena said while on her phone. "Um....yeah,I think it was the other way around" "So you're saying that my boyfriend is the trouble here?",Jena glanced at Kimberely. "Hey....I call it what I see it",Kimberely said with her hands up. "Ugh typical Kim....that aside.What was with the wind yesterday,like something exploded",Jena said. "Beats me,everyone is talking about it,hell its even in the news",Kimberely replied. "Well the party was better than spending countless hours in the library",Jena said. "Haha,I couldn't agree more,though where the fuck is she anyways?" "Tiffany?I thought she was...-",Jena looked at Tiffany's chair.It was nothing but an empty seat.Their history teacher Mr Beckbecker entered. "Morning students,I'm sorry for the wait.Though I wish you all had fun at the party last night",he said with a bit fast walking pace and stood behind his desk at the front. "Um how did he?",the students murmured a bit. "Yes,I know.....now,to business.Anyone of you who chose the article writing,its now time to submit",he said.The others who wrote stood up and submitted. "Hey Kim,what did you choose to boost your grades?",Luke leaned from his side as he asked. "A science experiment,though I still have to look for a partner" "Oh,can I be your partner?" "You can't be serious,you really want to attend the experiment?Nice try party boy",Kimberely laughed a bit. "No I'm not joking",Luke narrowed his eyes. "Oh my God you're not,....okay but,you should behave and pay attension",she said pointing at him a bit. "Yes ma'am",he said with a smile. "Seven?....Why are they seven,they should be eight",Mr Beckbecker said browsing the papers as Tiffany badged in gasping. "Sorry Mr Beckbecker,I'm late.I fell asleep yesterday and I-",Tiffany spoke hastily while gasping. "Tiffany,relax....as long as it is complete there will be no issues,right?",he asked. "Right",she said gasping a bit,she then went to her sit. "Hey girl,you slept well?",Kimberely asked. "Ugh,you have no idea",Tiffany responded.The bell rang for the end of the lessons.Students moved about in the hallway and others attending to their lockers.Tiffany unlocked her locker and the black diary fell on the ground. "What the,I'm pretty sure I left this on my stand back home",she said with a low voice.Chloe took a knee with her other hand stuffing her books against her chest.She slowly picked up the book. "What kind of dark gothic freaky stuff are you into?",Chloe asked while still holding it. "Hey...its,not what you think,give it back" "Holy shit this is pure sinister what in the world is-",Tiffany pulled Chloe's arm while she was yelling and dragged her into the bathroom. "Look,I found the book in the town library okay",Tiffany said as she shut the door. "Well why did you bring it then?",Chloe folded her arms with her books. "Because.....I was curious into knowing what's it about.Wouldn't you have done the same thing? "......Well,maybe.But I wouldn't be narcissistic over it" "I am not narcissistic over it okay!",Tiffany yelled.The door opened and they both gazed at the door as Aliah came in. "What?",Aliah questioned staring at both of them. "Uh,nothing",Chloe said. "Why are you looking at me like you want a bathroom ID or something",Aliah said, she entered a random toilet and shut the door. "Hello,I'm still here.....nuh don't mind them they're just some obnoxious pests of the school",Aliah said on her phone while Tiffany and Chloe listened. "Yeah,so I've been told.....fuck her I don't know what her problem is,why don't she worry about her dogs instead.....",Aliah continued talking on her phone as Tiffany and Chloe proceeded in hearing and glanced at each other for a bit. "She's insane.....hey you okay?Who's that?......yeah tell me about it,though I could use something like you here Riley,these soft imbeciles are starting to piss me the hell off......yeah,I know.. you do what you gotta do.....sure.....bye girl",Aliah hung up her phone. "I didn't know that she had a friend",Tiffany whispered to Chloe. "What are you two whispering about?",Tiffany startled a bit hearing Aliah's voice behind her. "Uh,...n...n....nothing,we thought that if we started talking maybe we would have interupted you on your phone",Tiffany said as she mummed a bit.Aliah faced her. "Uh huh?...",she then glanced at Chloe and she gulped. "Were you listening to my conversations?",Aliah narrowed her brows. "N-n-noo,we were not" "We don't even know that you have a friend",Chloe said. "What the hell!!",Tiffany muttered with a low voice over her shoulder staring back at Chloe. "Huhh,you both are quite fortunate that I don't have time for you at this very momentum",Aliah said,she opened the door and departed.Chloe breathed a sigh of relief. "What the fuck was that?",Tiffany questioned. "I'm sorry okay I went overboard",Chloe replied and Tiffany scoffed. "So...about that",Chloe said mentioning the book. "Oh yeah,right um.Tell you what.Meet me outside the campus stone benches at lunch" "Ohh,okay sure.Hey what's your name?" "I'm Tiffany" "Oh,yeah.I know you.You're the one who's working on that article about human rights right?" "Yeess?How did you-?Is my article going viral?",Tiffany questioned with a low voice. "You bet it is,gosh.You're really good" "Haha,please,not that good....and...you are?" "Oh,Chloe,Chloe Houtson" "Oh okay nice to meet you Chloe",they both shook hands and the bell rang.They both exited and entered the hallway.Students we heading to their classes. "Ugh I've got Bio",Chloe said. "Ugh History",Tiffany replied. "Later then?" "Sure thing",Tiffany replied and they part ways to their classes. Tiffany sat on the stone benches outside the campus at lunch browsing her new saggy black book.She flipped a page and she sighed. "Why am I even wasting my well valuable time over this shit?",she said to herself.She flipped another page and saw some dark symbols and chanting phrases below them.She flipped again and saw a goat standing upright like a human.Her eyes widened. "Oh my God,...a goat with horns and human body?This is Baphome-" "Hey!",Chloe exclaimed a bit as she sat right next to her and Tiffany startled. "What the fuck!!Chloe,don't do that again",Tiffany panted a bit sharply with a hand on her chest. "What the hell is this?",Chloe grabbed the book and peered a bit at the page."Is this who I think it is?",Chloe looked at Tiffany and she nodded. "Come on its nothing serious,they're just freaking drawings.Its just a prank.",Tiffany said and sipped her soda. "What's even on the first page?Maybe it might explain what this book is all about",Chloe went back to the first page. "There's nothing there I already checked",Tiffany replied. "23 Main park street?Is this nothing?",Chloe drew the book closer to Tiffany's face as she asked. "What?That wasn't even there when I checked it in the library" "Maybe you just didn't check it right" "What,of course I did",Tiffany grabbed the book and peered a bit."Its an address" "Want to check it out?Maybe it might be an abandoned haunted house or something",Chloe said with a smirk. "Wh-what?Why would you want to go there?" "Well,unless you're scared,I understand" "Of course I'm not scared....we'll go after school,I'll meet you outside the gate",Tiffany stood up and put the book in her bag. "Okay then,can't wait to start this dark mystery adventure",Chloe air quoted.The bell rang and students went back for their finishing lessons.Later afterwards Tiffany and Chloe stood at the gate staring at the wood strange house in front of them.They stared at each other and they entered inside with their flashlights from their phone on. It was gloomy inside.The both of them moved about inside.Chloe coughed a bit covering her mouth with her arm. "Gosh,its reeks in here",she said while Tiffany was wandering behind her. "Hey Tiffany,come look at this",Chloe called out walking toward the kitchen table. "What is it?",Tiffany approached her while she stood there frozen stiff and stood beside her.There was a red axe with blood on the table. "Wh-wha-what the-",Tiffany covered her mouth and vomitted a distance apart while Chloe just froze staring at it."What the hell is wrong with you?Why aren't you vomitting?" "Uh I mean,this could be fake blood.....right?Maybe its a prank,just as you were saying" "What?With everything that has just happened?",Tiffany cleaned her mouth. "What do you mean?" "First I left the book at home and I saw it in my fucking locker!!Second there wasn't any address on the first page of the book and it suddenly appeared out of the blue and now there's fucking blood on this axe!!",Tiffany yelled as she explained. "Wait okay maybe you came with it to school without noticing,maybe you're just-",Chloe paused gazing at her left direction,she peered sharply. "What,what is it?",Tiffany asked.Chloe walked a few steps toward the wall and took a knee.She picked up a cracked human skull. "Oh my God,oh fuck I'm not doing this",Tiffany rushed outside. "Wait Tiffany!!",Chloe called out while inside.She was gasping sharply with her hands on her knees. "Tiffany!!There's a note!!",Chloe yelled.Tiffany went back in and approached her."Look,there's a note on the table",Chloe said and Tiffany picked it and read it.Her eyes widened,her fingers started trembling,her breath became sharp and a bit heavy. "Tiffany?Tiffany?What does it say?Tiffany what the fuck is wrong?",Chloe shook her with her hand on her shoulder.Tiffany revealed the paper to her as she read.It was written 'nice to meet you....Tiffany'. "What in the....,okay um,this has gone too far,let's just get out of here.This is starting to freak me out",Chloe said. "Now its freaking you out?",Tiffany asked while breathing a bit heavy. "Well not entirely,I mean that skull is definitely fake,it cracked the moment I lifted it" "What the-what if its old or something?" "Tiffany,you're just exaggerating,okay tell you what,why don't we just head home and pretend like this,didn't happen" "Okay,okay,sure.We're never doing this again" "Noted",Chloe said and they departed to their homes. The next morning.Tiffany was sitting in the diner having her cereals getting ready for school.There was a woman in the television who was live reporting the news with her mic below her chin. "Heavy rain weather being predicted to reach Hilgate town.All people involved should stay in doors.Another disturbing matter circling on social media which happened the night before yesterday turns out to be horrific and unsettling.The witnesses near 23 Main Park Street has it they found their neighbours next door laying on the ground inside their house dead.They claim that they were headed there at night to lend them a gift.Word has it the door was wide open with them laying down bleeding to death and they suddenly passed out.Some said they saw a strange man with a hat dressed in black holding a red axe with blood on it at the back yard",The reporter explained and Tiffany froze with a bowl in her hands. The reporter continued explaining,Tiffany suddenly let go of the bowl as it fell and shattered into pieces with the milk and cereals all over the ground.It was like she was stuck in a trance.Breathing heavily with her eyes wide open. Everything went dead silent and all she could hear was her own heart beat.

My name is Riley Amberson.I'm one of the six.You know,its quite fucked up that we,a group of fucking teenagers who actually didn't have that much in common got collided and involved in some serious deadly shit.I really have no ideation of how it actually happened.It happened so fast and the next thing I knew I was with these freaking maniacs.Mm,they weren't so bad though,not that I'd prefer it.It was just a plain compliment.Our group is more like a suicide squad.Trust me I'm not saying that like its a badass name or trying to brag about it.Seriously,it really is a suicide squad,like a hundred percent suicide,there's nothing badass about that.I'm not ready to die serioulsy.Anywho,aside from all that dark stuff.To me,us meeting,was...a bit sweet,well in my own opinion because I really found something special.

Tiffany arrived at the school building entrance and went in.The first thing that captured her view was a crowd of students facing the wall.She approached,but she couldn't see a thing. "Excuse me",she forced her way through them.She stood at the front and saw a newspaper on the wall with the man she saw on the news with his red axe and a headline stated 'The Strange Man'.Her eyes opened wide. "Oh fuck",she whispered. "Um,..hello?Tiffany?",Chloe waved her hand to her face.Tiffany then faced her for a moment but she didn't respond."Are...you okay?",Chloe asked. "How can you ask that?I'm fucking terrified!!",she exclaimed a bit as she muttered. "About what?That psycho?Ugh,please come on.He's just a random murderer,its not like the first time we've seen one on the news",Chloe said. "That man is holding a red axe...just like the one we saw in that house",Tiffany whispered to her. "What?",Chloe peered at the paper,"uh,I see....it could be a coincidence I mean,it can't be poss-",Tiffany turned around with her hand on her mouth and rushed to the bathroom.She opened the door wide open and vomitted in the toilet.Chloe barged in and rested against the wall."Ugh come on Tiffany you're overreacting,look like I said it could be a coincidence" "Uhm,how the hell would you call it that?That was the same axe we saw in that house Chloe!!And it had blood right after the murder.Do you call that a coincidence?!....The book,...maybe it has got something to do with that dark book",Tiffany said cleaning herself at the sink. "Um,what the fuck is going on here?And...what house and what book?",suddenly Riley arrived standing behind Chloe as she startled. "Uh,I we,um,look its nothing,we were just-" "Do you both have anything to do with this?",she asked. "Um,noo,why would we?I mean,we're just teenagers",Chloe said as Riley started approaching her.Chloe took steps back while Riley was closing the gap.Chloe reached the end wall and Riley faced her.Riley was a raven haired gorgoeus girl.She liked black just like Aliah,hence their friendship. "Tell me the truth,or I'm going to mess you up right now",Riley said.Chloe tried to escape then Riley grabbed both of her arms by the wrists and slammed them against the wall. "Ugh Jesus Christ,uh Tiffany a little help here?",Chloe groaned. "You're hiding something,...tell me",Riley said with their faces inches apart. "Gosh she's just like Aliah",Chloe thought so. "Noo...no,um,its...uuh fuck okay.Look,this is going to sound,...crazy and weird",Tiffany said. "Hey what the fuck are doing?",Chloe whispered. "What?Does it seem like we have any other choice?",Riley let go of Chloe and paid attension to Tiffany. "Uh,well I mean,you can't just...ugh fuck this,go ahead",Chloe went to the sink and began to wash her face. "Okay look um so the day when we were all invited to Luke's party.I...didn't go,I had to finish my article and I went to the town library.I came across this saggy black book with some kind of dark sinister symbols,chantings and spells in it.I might have spoken a chanting phrase which was on it out loud",Tiffany explained. "What?!You didn't tell me that!",Chloe exclaimed looking back over her shoulder. "Uh,I forgot okay,now you know" "Wait,...you don't actually mean all this do you?",Riley questioned attempting to laugh assuming how insane it was. "Well,I don't blame you,that's the first reaction Chloe had at the start",Tiffany said and suddenly Riley's face changed. "What,okay look we should inform the principal",Riley suggested. "What no,absolutely not,we don't know what this book is about yet,let's just...lay low for now,and please don't tell anyone,um what's your name?",Tiffany asked. "Riley,Riley Amberson" "Riley?You're a friend of Aliah right?",Tiffany asked. "Yeah,how did you know?" "Ohhh,that really explains it",Chloe said. "Explains what?",Riley asked as she looked back over her shoulder and Chloe startled a bit. "I uh,um,nothing",Chloe replied. "Okay I won't snitch shit about this book,but I'll have to see it first",Riley said. "Of course,um,let's meet on break",Tiffany said. "Fine,but note that this does not make us friends by any chance",Riley said. "Fine,have it your way then",Chloe said and the bell rang. "Well,...",Riley said as she exited. "Okay then",they both headed to their classes. Tiffany rested her chin on her palm with her eyes semi closed while the history teacher Mr Beckbecker was teaching.She was sleepy.She suddenly drifted to sleep.She opened her eyes and suddenly the class was empty.The weather became cloudy and the rain was preparing to fall.She slowly stood up and grabbed her back pack. "What the.....hello!....Mr Beckbecker!",she yelled as her voice echoed.She exited the class and entered the hallway,it was entirely empty.She began to walk slowly heading to the cafeteria hoping to see someone.She only heard the sound of her footsteps. It was getting a bit darker every second.Her breath escalated.Her hands were shaking,she gulped then she opened the entrance of the cafeteria.It was also empty,her breath suddenly went heavy she turned around and started to walk fast heading to the exit. She was looking back a couple of times,her heart was racing then she turned left in the hallway and she suddenly stopped with her eyes wide open.She saw a man dressed in black with a black hat standing towards her a distance apart facing the other way,in front of him was a body which was bleeding.His gloved hands had blood on them and so was the red axe he was holding.He turned around and faced her.He didn't have a face,no eyes,no ears,no nose,no mouth.He stood aside a bit and Tiffany saw the body,it was her little sister Trina,her head was separate from her body.Tiffany gasped a bit then she looked at the man's axe which had blood on it then her tears started to flow down her cheeks. "Trina,...no....no",she covered her mouth with both of her hands. "Big sis,...just do what he says",Trina suddenly spoke and Tiffany gasped with fright.The man tilted his head to the other side.Tiffany blinked and out of the blue the man was standing right in front of her with his axe.She looked up to him breathing heavily then the man raised his axe and he swang it and Tiffany finally woke up as she startled. "Miss Tiffany?Is something wrong?",Mr Beckbecker asked. "Um,no,no I um its I'm alright" "So as the wars pervaded,the more they did the more the people suffered to a higher extend",he continued.Tiffany covered her face with both of her hands.She placed her hand on her chest trying to regulate her breathing. The bell rang after an hour.The students were crowded in the hallways.Kimberely approached Jena,it seemed like she was chatting with someone by the lockers. "Hey girl",Kimberely said. "Hey babes what's up",Jena said with Lindy beside her. "Um,did I miss something here?",Kimberely asked. "Oh,you mean um,I was just showing Lindy around.She wanted to know the whole area so I was giving her a tour",Jane replied.Kimberely stood there silently for a moment."Ugh,I might be a cold bitch but I'm not a bad person ya know,I'm not Aliah" "Hey shhh!!",Kimberely hushed. "What?" "Are you fucking serious right now?If she hears you she'll break you into two" "Ugh please that gothic self absorbent insolence by stander doesn't frighten m-holy shit!!",Aliah walked past Jane from behind while she was talking as Jena startled and banged against the lockers.Aliah kept walking away. "You were saying?",Kimberely questioned. "That's her,that's the girl who was cold to me in the cafeteria",Lindy said. "Yeah,we've witnessed",Jena said. "And you're also gonna witness something else,get this,I heard the Trio from Yellen High is transfering here",Kimberely said. "What?!Why?Those three are depraved!",Jena exclaimed a bit. "What's the Trio?",Lindy asked. "What?You don't know them?The Trio are these three freaking bitches from Yellen High School.They dominate every school they enter and they're also freaking sophisticated and intelligent.They're like the best in everything,class,sports.They're favoured by teachers and principals and if they get into trouble they evade from it easily just because they're rich",Jena air qouted. "Oh,well,maybe they aren't that bad",Lindy said. "Oh,they're great believe me but don't get flummoxed at the 'not so bad' part.They act regal,they like to control everything and if you get in their way,you'll be in deep shit",Jane explained. "But I heard that Pralie is somehow a bit kind and sweet,I heard she's kind of distinct from the other two",Kimberely said. "Who's Pralie?",Lindy asked. "Pralie?She's one of the Trio.Her full name is Praleen,she's super pretty, like hell can't even touch her.Britney is also another one of them,that one is hot and spicy blondy just like their leader Shielena,the bad bitch,the hottest and the sexiest,but she's brown haired",Kimberely explained. "Hey I don't care if one of them is kind and sweet and stuff,they're all the same and you Kim stop complimenting their beauty and stuff.Yes they're hot but I'm hotter",Jena waved her hair. "Well...time will tell",Kimberely said. "Come on,let's head to the cafeteria",Jena said and both of them followed. "Um...okay,so um,this,..is...so weird",Riley said browsing the book while they were in an empty science lab. "It-it still could be a prank,right?",Chloe asked.Tiffany did not respond.It was like she was stuck in a trance. "Damn this shit is dark...and creepy",Riley said. "But,why would someone write these kind of stuff ?What's their motive?",Chloe asked. "I'm blank as you nut head,...okay let's just put it back where it was found,simple as that,rather than wasting our shit with this senseless dilemma",Riley threw the book on the desk. "Yeah,you're right I mean,what are we even doing,let's just leave it......Tiffany?Tiffany?",Chloe shook her a bit.Tiffany reached her pocket and took out a piece of paper. "I found this in my bag",Tiffany said with a low voice. "Wait what?Okay let me see",Chloe snatched the paper and read it."its that same address again". "What address?",Riley asked. "An address to this creepy old house we entered once,this is absurd",Chloe said. "Okay um,to be quite honest with you all.All of the things you just said ain't creeping me out.....except that",Riley looked at the book. "What,what do you mean?Elaborate",Chloe said. "Has anyone of you noticed that the ink in this book is ancient?All of it is ancient,it smells ancient!!",Riley exclaimed a bit. "So....does that mean that...its real?",Chloe asked with a low voice. "Well only one way to find out",Riley snatched the book and opened it halfway. "What are you doing?",Chloe asked. "I'm looking of some kind of a spell to prove if its real or a total shit show",Riley said,"mmm,look at this.It says,by saying this chanting phrase thrice, any person of your choosing by saying their name will have internal bleeding in a short period of time and face his/her fate afterwards.When the pages glow red for a few seconds and goes back to normal,that will be the sign that the person you mentioned does not exist". "Oh God",Chloe said. "Alright then,let's give it a shot",Riley said. "Wait what,you can't be serious",Tiffany said. "Welcome back Tiffany,for crying out loud,how were the clouds?",Chloe yelled. "I'm serious as death baby,...look just say a ridiculous name of someone who doesn't even exist and if its real,the book will glow right?And if it isn't,its not,...simple",Riley said. "Ugh fine!",Tiffany grabbed the book from Riley."Okay here goes,..valus teris iram con lus vat,valus teris iram con lus vat,valus teris iram con lus vat",Tiffany chanted and they all stood silent for a moment. "Say the name!",Riley tapped Tiffany's shoulder. "Okay okay um, Baltimosonlivich",Tiffany spoke sacarstically.They all froze staring at the book. "Mmm,would you look at that,its entirely fake,haha,I can't believe that you two actually thou-",the door suddenly banged wide open as a guy fell in and they screamed a bit.The guy was Max,there was fighting noise in the hallway between him and Rin. "Jesus Christ",Chloe said with her hand on her chest.Tiffany quickly hid the book behind her.The principal Mr Elris appeared in the hallway. "Rin,Max,Marko,Chloe,Tiffany and Riley!!My office,now!!",the principal exclaimed. "What?But we didn't do anything",Tiffany said. "I said my office now!!",he yelled and they all headed there and Mr Elris shut the door. "Can someone explain to me what the hell is going on?!",he asked. "Mr Elris,we really have nothing to do with this,we were not even part of what this is or what was going on",Tiffany said. "Yeah we don't even know why these junkies were even fighting",Riley said. "What the fuck did you just call me?Do you know who I am?",Max questioned. "Language Mr Kenturkyn!!" "You see,he's always out of control,even in his mouth",Rin said. "Enough!....Marko,why were you involved in this barbaric situation?",My Elris asked. "I was trying to halt the fight between these two" "And how did the fight even begin?",Mr Elris asked. "Let's just say a certain someone doesn't actually recall nor know his manners",Rin said. "My manners?I could say the same thing about you....junkie",Max replied as Rin attempted to attack. "Not in my office!!Not even in my school!!Okay I don't care anymore how the fight even started,you all will be in detention period!!",he insisted. "What?!But we were not part of this",Chloe said. "Then why did I find you at the same location and at the exact same time as they were?",he asked. "Uh,we-we were-",she mummed. "That's what I thought",he said. "Honestly speaking sir these girls were not part-" "I don't want to hear it!!Detention....all of you!!",he cut off Marko's sentence.They were dismissed. "Seems like everything you do turns into chaos",Rin said. "Well,if that's the case then I won't mind multiplying chaos on top of choas",Max said as they both faced each other. "Guys,chill both of you,you can settle this outside the school,not here",Marko stood between them both. "Who's he anyways?Some kind of a peacemaker?",Chloe asked.The bell rang and the students readied theirselves for their upcoming classes. "Ugh I'll see you all in detention afterwards then,plus I have to use the restroom first so...",Tiffany walked away and entered the bathroom.Riley and Chloe stood in the hallway and glanced at each other then they part ways and went to their classes. Tiffany washed her face at the sink.She then looked up in the mirror then she quickly startled as she fell,gasping with fright with her eyes open.The mirror was written "PLAY TIME' with blood.She quickly backed away and rushed out.
