Willow Pond

Running is all I can do. The shadows are after me.

I can't do this anymore! I scream in my mind. I just can't!

This is all just a dream, Willow, I tell myself. I keep running.

"Shoot!" I trip over a branch and fall. I turn around, and the last thing I see is darkness, before the shadows consume me.

One Week Later

Jem Nightshade

I walk through the halls of the school with my nose in the air. If anyone tries to approach me, I walk on.

"...just hate school," Serena is saying to Willow.

"Do we not all?" I say as I open my locker to get my books for class.

"Hey, Jem," Willow greets me, "what's up?"

"The ceiling?" I frown. I still do not understand modern phrases.

Willow shrugs. "How's life?"

"Well," I start, but I get interrupted by Sara.

"Guys," she says, "have you heard about the murder?"

I frown. "What murder?"

Lyria hands me a newspaper with the main article titled Man Found Dead in May Park. Under it, it says that a person was found murdered with a dagger in the heart in the May Park.

"That's weird," Serena says.

"It is just a murder," I shrug.

"Yeah," Willow says, but there is something different about her. "Just a murder."
