The ripples in the shiny stone clearly visible. A bit of dust along the edge of the hallway lockers. The light was dim, only a few lockers visible and as the light spilled in from a building across the street.<br/><br/>The group took the first few tentative steps into the building. It's hallways empty and quiet without the rustling of backpacks, the clomps of sneakers, or the buzzing of school alarms and most pronounced was the complete lack of the buzz of hundreds of voices.<br/><br/>In the direction where Jin thought she had seen her family earlier, a distant sound of something scuffling about. The sound of a chair falling over... If the group approaches, as they get closer to it they'll hear the cry of a boy. It will be followed with the dull thuds of fist on skin and then a sharp cry as a pop crunching sounds of bone breaking under flesh.<br/><br/>Inside will be the sight two young teen boys fighting. One boy is getting beat pretty badly, The boy on the ground has sad brown eyes and a round face stained with tears. A slightly younger Al. The figure doing the beating looks up and dissolves into mist.<br/><br/>When the aggressor has vanished behind him can now be seen a short squat roughly two foot goblin like thing. It's hair oozes soaked in blood and in it's hands a wicked looking still blood soaked blade.  He hops up and down laughing with wild eyes. "Yes, Yes... Now to suck the marrow from his bones! Thank you, Thank you!" He makes a slurping sound from under his black scarf. The look in his eyes, one of complete madness.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Goblin-like Image</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://24.media.tumblr.com/bf5faf00a3960f49d87b57bba751e22f/tumblr_mqrm8npQUx1ri1r1uo1_1280.jpg)</div></div><br/><hr/><hr/><br/><hr/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;"><strong>Robert Long</strong><em>(temp NPC)</em><br/><strong>Location</strong>:In front of the high school<br/><strong>Tag</strong>: Everyone</span><br/><hr/>The shadows crawled up Roberts leg. He was the last in as he wanted to watch everyone's back. The cool tingle crawled up his spine and he shuddered or he thought he did. Tendrils of the mist and shadow curled around his body then squeezed down like razor sharp talons. It sunk into his clothes, his flesh then the mist overtook him and he was gone from the sight. His foot had never crossed the threshold of the buildings door...<br/><br/><hr/><hr/><br/>In the instant that Robert was enveloped it was like he'd never been there. That feeling in a dream when you know someone else was with you. You could have sworn there was some else in the dream but suddenly you are alone, or in this case in a group. But Robert had never been there. His place in this was now just a gap of memory... "Robert was just here. I could have sworn Robert was with us? I guess not, that must have been someone else skateboard." The doubt overshadowing your memories of him.<br/><br/><hr/><hr/><br/><hr/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;"><strong>Maggie Foss</strong><em>(temp NPC)</em><br/><strong>Location</strong>:In front of the high school<br/><strong>Tag</strong>: Everyone</span><br/><hr/><br/>Maggie barreled into the darkness, she totally had no idea how she got that door opened. Once inside she stood and blinked a few times. Eyes adjusting to the darkness.<br/><br/>It felt lonely in the building. No students, no teachers. It's hard to believe how creepy a school can be with no one present.<br/><br/>That's when she heard the noises. "Hey there's a kid in trouble." She didn't think, maybe it was instinct. Her heart was pounding but she pushed forward without waiting. All she could think was that someone was in trouble and when she got down the hall and looked into the classroom she was correct...<br/><br/>"Eww. What is that thing?" She said.
