After the strange sighting of that small child, I was off to my next class, which was P.E.

Thank god... at least I'm not stuck in class...

When I got to the locker room, however, I saw that something was wrong. The guys that usually hung out inside were outside, and moving around restlessly, as if they were spooked by something. Frowning in confusion, I walked past them, into the locker room. I don't know why, but I wasn't going to let a little scare stop me from having fun. I had just changed into my gym clothes, when I felt it again.

That presence... behind me?!

Whipping around, I saw that it was nothing. Shaking my head, I walked out of the room, headed for the gym, when I heard something that sounded strangely like children's laughter. Frowning in confusion, I followed the sounds, until I found myself in the back of the storage room by the lockers.

Odd...

I turned around, only to be greeted by the sight of three kids, about my age.
"Umm... Can I help you?" I asked politely. The kids didn't speak at first, but the one in the middle, a actually cute looking girl, with her hair in a ponytail, looked me in my eyes.

He won't stop. A voice said in my head, making me look around, then back at the kids. "Are you talking to me?" I asked. The boy on the right, who looked like the girl, nodded, and stepped forwards. We are the ones who fell before you. The boy said, although his lips never moved. "Wait wait... what the hell do you mean?" I demanded. "Is this some kind of joke?" No. That car was no accident. Th boy on the left said, looking at a spot on the wall. There are powers in this world that wish to destroy any and all living. "Wait... living?! So that means..." the trio nodded, with the girl offering me a small smile. "Well... how am I able to see you?!" Your friend, Genevieve, can answer that better than us, Tyler Makiev. The girl said to me, looking down. Sighing in annoyance, I shook my head, then decided to humor this, just for a moment.

I mean... what's the worst that could happen?

"Okay... I'll bite. What do I need to do so I won't die?" I asked, folding my arms. You must go and find the book the last one used to defeat The Follower. The boy on the right said, grabbing my wrist.

So... The Follower. As in a pronoun... that can only be good...

"Okay... so I find this book... then what? Say 'bibbity boppity boo', then get rid of this guy?" I asked. The third boy stopped looking at the wall, then looked at me, making me nearly scream. The kid had no right eye! The entire right side of his face was destroyed, like someone had taken a can of gas and lit it on fire.

What the actual fuck were these kids?!

The Follower is not one to be mocked. Burned Boy said coldly, regarding me. I nodded furiously, afraid of this kid. We must depart... heed our words. The girl said, grabbing the boys, then slowly fading out of existence. I stood there, slack-jawed, before rushing out of the room, forcing myself to not scream until I was in the gym, alone, then let out a loud, drawn out scream.

Why does weird stuff always have to happen to me!?

Why!!

(Meanwhile.)

A boy panted as he stumbled through the dark, stuffy room. "Gotta get back.. gotta find them.." he muttered, looking around. "Gotta.... gotta keep moving." The boy then stumbled along, holding his side as he stumbled towards a forest, while nearby, a group of children played on a nearby playground. Stopping to watch the kids, the boy smiled, brushing a lock of dark brown hair out of his eyes. He spotted some kind of movement off to the right, and gasped, as he spotted a young boy, about 7 years old, on top of the monkey bars. Rushing towards the playground, the boy managed to get there in time, catching the child as the kid fell off of the bars. "Don't do that again." The older kid said softly,before rushing down the street, his eyes darting around.

That was too close, the boy thought. I gotta hurry... before it's too late..
