Under a sky the colour of dried blood, black phantoms with empty white eyes stalk you through the night. The group is a blur of motion, sprinting toward the rusted gates of the school bus graveyard—the only sanctuary they know. Kiera’s voice rings out over the howling wind, raw and commanding, pushing them forward. You all tumble through the opening just as Rylan slams the heavy gate shut, the metallic clang severing the hunt. For a moment, there is only the ragged symphony of your breathing. Julian, adjusting his glasses, scans each face and asks if everyone's okay. Rylan leans against the gate, a wild grin spreading across his face. 'That was fun,' he says, his voice bright with adrenaline.
