Dahlia's POV

************

"What the fuck was that?!" I questioned quickly as I sat up. I'd been fast asleep just a few seconds ago, but I heard something outside of our tent and it woke me right the fuck up.

Billie groaned and buried her face deeper into her pillow. "Go back to sleep, baby, I probably just farted. All those fucking baked beans got my stomach fucked up—"

So, we had about twenty cans of baked beans which Jessica had apparently packed in case of an emergency.

"No, it was something outside the tent!" I rolled my eyes. "What if it's a murderer or a bear or something?"

"Go back to sleep quickly so you won't feel any pain when they kill you." She muttered.

"I'm serious, Billie!" I whisper yelled. She was snoring before I could even finish my sentence. I sighed as I grabbed my flashlight and crawled out of my sleeping bag.

I crawled out of our tent slowly and looked around for a few moments before stepping further and further away from it.

I jumped with every step I took, scared by the sound of my own footsteps, but I continued to walk away from the tent as I tried to figure out what the noise I was hearing was.

The wind was whirring in my ear and it sounded like whispering, and the harder I listened, the more it sounded like actual words were being said. It was starting to sound like the wind was whispering my name to me, but I'm guessing—hoping—that's just my subconscious.

I gasped and turned around quickly after hearing what sounded like footsteps behind me, but nothing was there. I waved the flashlight around, trying to see something, but there was really nothing there.

Then I heard knocking on the tree behind me, quickly turned to see if someone was there, and again there was nothing.

After a few moments of staring at the tree, I turned around again and began walking toward the trail we'd gone down earlier. I'm not sure why I did, but I did, and I really wish I hadn't.

The moment I pointed the flashlight at the trail, I saw what looked like a long trail of goo or...Jelly or something? I don't know, it was a deep red color and very thick looking.

I tried to examine it a little more, but I didn't get the chance to get a good look at it. It was when I heard a faint yet loud, deep scream from what seemed to be a good distance away that I took off running back to my tent. I dived in as quickly as I could, scraping the shit out of my knee as I did, but I'll just have to worry about that later.

"Wake the fuck up!" I screamed as I flipped Billie over onto her back and then slapped her stomach. She jumped awake and stared at me with wide eyes and a confused facial expression.

"Bitch, god damn!" She cursed as she sat up. "I know I told you a long time ago that you could wake me up whenever you wanted to fuck, but this shit is ridiculous—"

"Somebody's fucking dead, Billie! There's been a murder!" I whisper yelled.

She blinked at me a few times before letting out a small sigh. "Okay, that's really bad, but I'm trying to be more optimistic these days so let's look at the bright side...At least it wasn't you or me, right? And it probably wasn't Kit...Oh my god, what if it was Kit?! Why couldn't whoever did it take you instead?!" She screeched.

"Bitch, we'll fight about that later," I glared at her before shaking my head. "I don't know who it was, but somebody's dead!"

"Well, how do you know that, I mean, what the hell—"

"I went outside because I was hearing noises and I walked toward that trail we went down earlier and I saw all this fucking red ass goo or whatever the fuck it was!" I hurriedly explained.

"Goo?" She raised a brow.

"Yeah, goo!" I nodded quickly. "Come on, ill show you!"

"Nah, Nah, Nah," She shook her head as she backed away from me. "I'm good in here."

"What the hell do you mean you're good in here?"

"I mean I'm good in this motherfucking tent minding my god damn business. Whatever the fuck happened happened out there, not in here. This is a safety tent. We're safe in the safety tent. Why the fuck would we leave it?"

"Are you kidding me?! If somebody's out there murdering people and shit, they'll come in here eventually! This tent isn't fucking safe, it's a tent! Not a brick house."

"All I'm saying is, if I was a murderer I'd go after whatever idiot decided to come outside and see what the fuck the tea was. If I saw that people just decided to stay in their tents and mind their business while I did my thing, I'd silently thank them and leave them alone." She shrugged.

"So, you're really not gonna come outside and see if one of your friends got murdered?" I huffed.

"Aye, that's none of my business." She shook her head. "It's every man for himself out here."

I rolled my eyes at her before silently crawling out of the tent.

I was barely finished standing up when I let out a loud scream and slid to the ground again. I saw a shadow right behind our tent and it scared the shit out of me!

I trembled as I tried to scoot away as it walked around the tent and came closer and closer to me.

I let out a loud but short scream as a light flickered on, and then I noticed it was Kit. She was standing there, holding her flashlight under her face. She let out a snort as she reached down to help me up. "Man, what's got your panties in a twist?" She asked after I dusted myself off.

"Somebody's been murdered!" I screamed.

"Oh, word?" She raised a brow.

I waited for her to say literally anything else, but she didn't. She didn't even look phased.

I slowly backed away from her as I noticed that. Sure, she's usually cool and doesn't seem all that surprised by...Anything, but still. If someone told me that someone had been murdered I'd be at least a tiny bit surprised.

"You don't seem too shocked. Is there something you wanna tell me? Did you do it?!" I asked.

"Nah, if I did it you would've heard it," She shrugged. "I mean, I ain't never killed anybody before, but if I did have to kill somebody, it'd be, you know...Pop pop from the glock glock, you know what I'm saying?"

We just stood there staring at each other for a few seconds as I tried to determine whether I truly believed that she hadn't killed anyone or not. I decided it'd be easier just to believe that she didn't, you know, since I want her to use her strap on me and all.

"I heard some really weird noises and then I went to the trail and saw a lot of goo." I explained.

"And then you decided that somebody was murdered?" She snickered.

"You don't understand! The—" I stopped speaking after hearing another loud yell in the distance, followed by what sounded like a whole stampede of footsteps and a bunch of other yells. "Bro, what the fuck?!" I whisper yelled.

"It's probably other campers." Kit shrugged before yawning. "It's, like, 2 in the morning, Doe. If somebody was murdered their body will probably still be there tomorrow morning. If not, that's even better news for us. I'm going to sleep."

She tried to walk past me, but I quickly grabbed her arm and stopped her. "Kit, please, I'm scared!" I frowned.

"Okay then, just to make sure you're safe, I'll walk you back to your tent." She smiled before guiding me the four steps back to my tent. "See? That went smooth, didn't it?"

"You're not funny." I grumbled.

She unzipped my tent all the way for me and gestured for me to crawl in, which I did quickly, and she followed. Billie screamed as she saw someone else coming in with me and pressed herself even further into the corner.

"Man, both of y'all are pussy as fuck," Kit mumbled as she turned her flashlight to face her again, showing Billie that it was her. "This shit is sad."

"Well, you—"

Billie and I screamed when we saw shadows coming toward our tent and then two people crawling inside. Kit pointed her flashlight at them and we let out a sigh of relief as we noticed it was just an angry-looking Cadence and a sleepy-looking Gigi.

"What the hell is going on and why do you people keep screaming?" She questioned, her words a little slurred because she had a green face mask on and I'm pretty sure it had tightened on her face.

"You keep your face masks on overnight?" I questioned in disgust. "You're supposed to rinse that after thirty minutes at the most!"

"I fell asleep with it on and I don't feel like scrubbing my face this late! I shouldn't even be up right now, but I got up because I heard you bastards causing all kinds of commotion—"

"Yes, and I follow her out of our tent to keep her safe when she come to yell at you guys." Gigi informed us, sending a loving smile to Cadence. That is so cute! She looks like the grinch and he still looks like he's so in love with her. Ugh, I love them.

"Somebody's been murdered!" I screeched.

"Stop saying that, shorty. I'm pretty sure nobody's been murdered." Kit sighed.

"I don't give a damn if someone's been murdered! I want my damn beauty sleep!" Cadence huffed.

Nobody had the time to respond before a shrill scream filled the short silence, and it was a lot closer than any of the other sounds I'd heard previously were. Everyone in the tent besides Kit screamed as well after hearing it.

Kit rolled her eyes at us all and crawled out of the tent, the rest of us scrambling to follow her. Even Billie.

She looked around with her flashlight until the light landed on Cora who was only a few steps away, frantically spinning around in circles, clearly looking for something.

"Cora, what's going on?!" Billie asked quickly as we all ran over to her.

When we were closer to her, I realized that she was crying and she looked terrified, which sent a huge ball of anxiety right to the pit of my stomach.

"S-She was just right here, but n-now she's gone!" She cried, still looking around.

"Who?!" I asked.

"Liza! We heard screaming so we decided to come check everything out but then we got sidetracked because we started arguing again and then h-her flashlight went out for like two seconds and then all of a sudden it was on the ground and she was nowhere to be found! She just fucking vanished! I would've heard her if she'd walked away or something but I didn't, and I thought she was playing a joke on me or something, but she's definitely not and now she's gone and I don't know where she is!" She sobbed.

I quickly pulled her in for a hug and looked at my friends, silently begging someone to say something helpful, but nobody did. Nobody seemed to know what to say.

"And that's not all!" Cora sniffled after a few moments. "I saw something over there—" She pointed toward the trail with all the goo on it. "It was this weird fucking...I don't even fucking know. It was this really tall figure, like, really tall. It looked like the fucking slender man or something! But it was a whitish greyish color? I don't know what it was but it was creepy and it was only there for a second and then it was gone!"

"Are you sure—"

"I'm sure!" Cora cut Billie off quickly. "I know what I saw! I mean...I don't know what I saw, but I saw what I saw!"

"Okay, well, I don't know anything about what you saw, but Liza's missing so maybe we should start looking for her," Cadence said softly. "I'm gonna wake everyone up and tell them what's going on." She said before she walked off.

"All of us should head to the bus. We've got stuff in there we can probably use for weapons and shit." Billie said. We all agreed and hurriedly followed her to the bus.

Once we got on, we all headed toward the back to start sorting through our suitcases.

***

Despite my better judgment, I took the time to change out of my pajamas and into a warmer outfit.

And thirty minutes after everyone had found their way onto the bus, we were all ready to start searching for Liza, and the bus driver, Cooper, too. He was supposed to be resting in the bus, but he was nowhere to be found. I was hoping he just went to use the bathroom or something, but I highly doubt that since it's been quite some time since we got on the bus. It took us a while to get ready, but we had to be prepared.

We all had flashlights and a weapon of choice, mine being a baseball bat that I had insisted on bringing in case something like this happened. Billie had argued that I was being extra for bringing it and that I wouldn't need it, and I'll make sure to boast about how I was once again right if we make it out of this night alive.

I put some spare batteries, some hair ties, and a few candy bars in the crossbody bag I was wearing...I know we're supposed to be focused solely on searching for Liza, but I'm honestly getting a little hungry, so, you know...

Everyone got off the bus after grabbing everything they needed. Cadence handed out the walkie talkies she brought to each of our little groups. We formed three groups and Billie, Cadence, Gigi, Kit, Bea and I are gonna be searching together.

"Okay, guys, we all know what to do, right?" She questioned. We all nodded. "Good. Let's break!" She said before we all ran off into different directions.

Our group is going to follow the trail with all the goo on it and see what we find.

We did just that, searching in mainly silence as we followed the long trail which happened to be completely covered in the red goo. I figured only a small part of it would be covered in that shit, but the longer we walked, the thicker the goo seemed to be getting.

We walked along the trail for what seemed to be ten minutes before Bea broke the silence. She pointed quickly toward some bushes which were rustling as I looked over.

"I saw something!" She whispered. "But just for a second. It was just standing there, but then it disappeared! It looked like what you said Cora described earlier!"

We all cautiously walked toward the bushes she had pointed to, and I held my breath as we got closer and closer. When we were close enough, Kit reached out and separated the bushes, looking around as she tried to see if there was anything there.

Much to my relief, there wasn't.

"I don't see—"

"Get the fuck out of here!"

We all jumped as we heard the loud voice. Again, it was in the distance, but it was loud at the same time. It sounded like the fucking devil with how deep the voice was.

"Bro, I can't do this! I don't even know Liza like that to be out here trying to save her ass. I mean, she seemed like a cool kid and all that, but I think I'm gonna have to dip." Billie shook her head as she tried to walk away, but I grabbed her and pulled her back quickly.

"Billie, if you were lost in these fucking woods you know damn well you'd want us to look for you! We can't just leave her out here—"

"Guys!" Ori's voice came through the walkie talkie that Cadence was holding. "You guys! Cadence's group! We can see you guys! Come over here quick! We're to your left! We found something!" He yelled frantically.

We all started heading to the left quickly and he directed us toward where he and his group were. Despite waving our flashlights around, we couldn't see him anywhere even though he kept telling us that we were getting closer to him.

Our flashlights all began flickering at the same time and then they went completely off. Seconds later, I was tripping over who knows what, and falling face-first onto the ground.

Our flashlights came back on and I looked around the ground quickly, my mouth falling open as I saw words drawn largely on the dirt in front of me.

'G e t o u t o f m y f o r e s t !'

"Dude, do you guys see this?!" I screamed as I shakily stood up, wincing as I felt the burning in my already scraped up knee. They all ran over to see if I was okay and look at the words.

"Bro, it's really some demons in these woods!" Billie shook her head. "I do not like this, not even a little bit!"

"I want my daddy." I mumbled, my lip quivering.

"I'm here, honey, and I'm scared too." Billie sighed.

I glared at her before lifting my bat up. "I've had about enough of you!" I yelled. She flinched away from me as she stared at the bat and raised her hands in defense. "Hey, hey, hey, don't threaten me with that thing! The last thing we need is to be turning on each other, and besides, I have a stick! Sticks could beat bats any day!" She smirked as she held up the large stick that she'd chosen to use as a weapon.

"Are you insane?! Why would you think that a stick is better than a baseball bat?"

"I don't!" She shouted, throwing the stick down in frustration. "But you made me stop carrying around my fucking knife after that whole cutting Kai incident as if that was some huge fucking deal," She rolled her eyes. "So, I'm trying to make the best of what I have!"

"I'm sorry, what? You cut Kai?" Kit questioned.

"Oh, you remember I was telling you about everything that happened with Kai." I tried to wave her off.

"Um...Jog my memory?"

I sighed before explaining as quickly as I could. "She leaked my nude and then told the whole school about my childhood trauma and then had me jumped twice, so then Billie cut her cheek and that's why she's got that scar there, but it's fine because we all made up after I slept with Kai at that party so I could have a sex tape with her, but I didn't post it cause Billie broke my phone and then we officially became girlfriends and then after Billie forced Kai to come along with us to threaten my mom's boyfriend, who happened to be Kai's uncle, to stay quiet after I beat my mom up at a fair, and Billie got Kai's whole family sent to jail so she had nowhere to go and had to stay with Billie, they became friends and now all is well." I said in one breath.

Kit stood there and stared at me blankly for a few

moments before shaking her head. "Um...You lost me at sex tape. Repeat that?"

"We don't have the time!" Cadence hissed. "Ori, are you there?! What's up? Where are you?" She spoke into the walkie talkie, but we heard nothing back. Just silence. "Ori? Ori?!" She called.

"He's coming! You need to run!"

That was the response we got.

"Oh my fucking god!" I screamed. They quickly shushed me.

"Damn, bitch, you must want somebody to find us and murder us?!" Bea whisper yelled.

"The fuck are we still standing here for?! He said run!" Kit hissed before taking off further down the trail. I think if she hadn't, I would've run back toward where we came from instead, but she was already sprinting off so we had to follow her.

We all ran after her, trying desperately to keep up with the fast girl, but it was pretty difficult. She ran with the speed of lightning and she kept making random turns and shit.

After a few minutes, we couldn't keep up. She made another turn and then suddenly she was nowhere to be found. We heard her scream—which was pretty unsettling considering the fact that she was always cool-headed and never afraid—but when we ran to where we'd last seen her, she wasn't there. She was nowhere to be found.

We called out for her, but she didn't answer.

"This is bad. Really fucking bad." I mumbled as I ran my fingers through my hair.

"What the hell is that?" Bea questioned as she pointed at a tree. We all looked at it, slowly getting closer to it as we scoped it out. It seemed that the tree had the same goo we'd seen on the trail dripping down from it. "Where's this shit coming from?!"

What sounded like the sound of a loud horn filled the air, forcing us all to cover our ears. I don't know where the sound was coming from, but it was loud as a bitch. It sounded like it was right in our fucking ears.

The loud noise lasted for a few minutes before it finally got quiet again. I was trembling as I removed my hands from my ears and looked around.

I saw a flickering light coming from the darkness not far away and gestured for everyone to follow me.

We all walked closer to it. The closer we got to it, the dimmer our own flashlights seemed to become until they all went completely off, again at the same exact time.

This is the weirdest shit I've ever experienced in my life. I always wanted to experience some paranormal activity, but now I think I actually am and I want nothing to do with it. I am not here for this.

I furrowed my brows as I began to hear what sounded like whispering coming from the spot where the light was. I stepped even closer, and the little light went out, leaving the area completely dark.

"Guys, I—"

I cut myself off with a gasp as I was shoved forward. I was expecting to fall to the ground, but I didn't. I was falling through the air for a brief few seconds before I did hit the ground with a thud.

"What the fuck?!" I whispered to myself.

"Nice of you to join me, Dahlia."

I jumped and scooted back after hearing the voice right in my ear. It was Liza's voice, but she still scared the shit out of me.

"Dude, what in the hell is going on?! What happened to you?!"

Her flashlight came on and I screamed as I saw her face. I could see all her fucking veins, and it was a very scary sight to see. She looked fucking dead.

"He's in me now. And he's about to be in you too." She laughed loudly and I slowly backed even further away from her.

She continued laughing as everyone above us kept screaming down, asking if I was okay. I also heard them yelling about how Bea had apparently disappeared. I don't honestly know what's happening.

"Liza—"

"He's in me now! And he's about to be in you too!" She screamed angrily before standing up and running away from me.

I was speechless as I watched Liza's figure disappear into the darkness. After she did, I turned on my flashlight and began trying to figure out where the hell I was. I quickly figured out that I'd just fallen down a small hill or whatever. My friends were above me, leaning over and trying to see if I was okay.

It wasn't too harsh of a fall and nothing on me hurt particularly badly, so that's good. I'm sure I'll be able to climb back up and get back to them in no time, but...What the hell did she mean by 'He's in me and now he's about to be in you'?! I don't fucking want anybody or anything in me!

"Dahlia! Can you get up?!" Cadence screamed at the top of her lungs despite the fact that I would've been able to hear her perfectly clear if she'd spoken normally. I nodded and slowly stood up, grunting as I felt sticks and shit poking me in the ass.

"Grab onto my stick and I'll pull you up!" Billie told me before lowering her stick. I grabbed it tightly and began climbing up the hill, grunting once I was back on top of it with them.

"At this point, whatever happens is just gonna have to happen. I'm sick of this shit. I'm not cut out for this 'running around in the forest trying to escape a demon' shit. I'm not in shape!" I grumbled.

"My future shorty is missing, Dahlia! Get your ass up and let's go!" Kit demanded as she helped dust me off quickly.

"Future shorty?" I raised my brows. "I told you, she's got a girlfriend!"

"Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, a girl can dream." She huffed before pushing me along.

"Wait a fucking minute, where the fuck did you come from, I thought we lost you—"

"No time now, I'll explain later!" She said.

***

An hour of aimless wandering, nothing happening as we walked around. Despite what Liza had said, nothing was 'in' me. Bea was still nowhere to be found, none of our other friends were answering their walkie talkies, and I know it's the least of our worries right now, but my feet are tired as hell.

On top of all that, I'm pretty sure we're lost. We haven't exactly been keeping track of how far away from the campsite we are or trying to remember which way we'd come from. I wish Madi was with us because I know he'd know how to get back if he was. I hope he's okay. I hope they all are.

"I'm tired," Billie whined quietly as she trudged along beside me. "It's too late and too dark. We should try to figure out how to get back to the campsite."

"Not until we find Bea's fine ass." Kit mumbled tiredly.

Billie merely groaned in response and we all continued to walk in silence for a few minutes after that.

I was walking with my eyes closed for a few moments, but I quickly opened them again after hearing loud footsteps behind me. We all turned around to see what or who it was, but there was seemingly nothing there.

I heard something knocking on a tree once again, just as I had earlier, and slowly began following the sound.

"What the hell—" I muttered as I blindly reached for Billie's hand, trying to give myself some comfort. We continued following the noise until we found ourselves in front of the tree where the sound was coming from. There was still nothing there.

"Guys, this shit is—" I stopped talking abruptly after noticing that Kit and Cadence were nowhere to be found. It was just Billie, Gigi and I.

"Where the hell did they go?" I questioned.

Gigi looked around, his eyes widening as he noticed that they were gone too. "They were just next to me, right here, see?!" He pointed at the spot beside him, clearly panicking.

We hadn't heard them walk away or anything. This is just like what Cora said happened with Liza. Just poof, gone. Vanished.

"Whatever demon is in these woods is out here snatching bitches," Billie shook her head. "This is crazy!"

"Okay, lets not panic!" I was already practically hyperventilating as I said it. "I'm sure this will all be fine!"

"No, it won't be."

We all screamed as we turned to face the voice. Cooper was standing there, looking just like Liza had looked earlier. All his veins were showing and he looked dead.

"Bro, what the fuck?! What happened to you?!" Billie asked.

"He's in me now. And he's about to be in you too." He smirked as he slowly began to walk closer to us.

"Who the hell is he?!" I asked as we all backed away from him.

"He's in me now. And he's about to be in you too." He repeated.

He kept slowly coming closer to us and we kept slowly backing away from him until suddenly, I felt myself falling yet again. This time, judging by the screaming, Billie and Gigi were falling too.

I hit the ground with a thud and let out a grunt as I did. I'm almost glad we fell. At least we're not so close to Cooper anymore.

My relief was short-lived as I felt something gooey all over me and I heard a deep voice not too far away from us. "I told you to get out of my woods!" It screamed.

We all let out loud shrieks as we began scrambling to get away from the voice, but it kept yelling and it sounded like it was getting closer and closer each time it did.

We kept slipping around as we tried to stand up. Not only was the goo thick and sticky, but it was also pretty damn slippery.

"Say you're sorry!" The voice screamed.

"I'm sorry!" We all yelled in unison. I don't know what the hell we're sorry for, but we damn sure are sorry.

"Say you're sorry!" It yelled again.

"Sorry!" We all screamed as we continued trying to get away. Every time I was even close to standing up, Billie's dumbass would push my shoulder down or grab my leg or something as she tried to stand up herself.

"Say you're a bunch of punk asses!"

"We're a bunch—What?!" I screamed.

Suddenly, the pitch-black darkness turned into a blinding bright light. It took my eyes a while to adjust, but when they did, I noticed all our friends standing above whatever ditch or whatever the fuck we'd fallen in. They were cackling as they held their phones up, snapping pictures and probably recording too. "What the actual fuck?!" I screamed at the top of my lungs as I finally stopped thrashing around.

"Payback is a bitch!" Cora laughed as she high fived Cadence and then Liza.

"Pay—We've done nothing to you!" Billie yelled.

"Yes, I have done nothing wrong!" Gigi added.

"Remember spring break? The last day at Nana's beach house? You guys decided it'd be fun to scare the shit out of us." Kai smirked. "Well, this is payback."

"Are you kidding me?!" I screamed. "It wasn't even my idea to do that! It was Denny's!"

"Yeah, we know. He was the one who told us that you guys were trying to scare us. He was the one who suggested that we get back at you guys during this camping trip too." Caden laughed.

"Okay, well, why are we the only ones being punished?!" Billie pouted. "Julia and Finneas were in on it too! When are you guys gonna get back at them?!"

"Never," Ori shrugged. "They all helped us plan this out, so we're even. Finneas was the one who gave us the flashlights that we could control so that way we could make them go on or off whenever we wanted. Plus, he made sure that Billie hired Cooper to be our bus driver because Cooper knows how to do special effects makeup, and he's the one that made all that goo. He also had some sound equipment so we could make all those knocking noises, the horns, the yelling, the leaves rustling, all that shit."

"Julia helped us plan exactly how to get you guys where you needed to be when you needed to be there so that all this would go smoothly and be believable. Denny was the mastermind behind the entirety of this scheme, though." Bea explained.

"I had very much fun tricking you. I was the one who pushed you down that hill!" Madi exclaimed excitedly, clapping his hands. "And I helped spread the goo out."

"Yeah, me too." Kit high fived him before smirking down at us.

"Why the hell did you guys help?! You weren't even at the beach house! We didn't do anything to you guys!" Billie huffed.

"Yeah, but I mean, it was either prank or be pranked." Jules shrugged her shoulders.

"Now maybe you guys will think twice before being dicks to your friends." Jessica grinned.

"I doubt it!" Billie spat.

A/N: okay but it's literally 10:00 at night where I am and I could've updated earlier this morning or literally anytime earlier today but I've been so focused on writing that I couldn't take two seconds to update smhhh I'm trash lmao.

Anywho In honor of Stranger Things 3 (which I have still not watched so pls, no spoilers), and the fact that I wrote nothing spooky for the Halloween chapters, AND because I've been watching the twilight zone a bit...I decided to write a chapter filled with some scary Tom fuckery. I enjoyed it!

I also enjoyed writing the next two chapters because a lot happens in those 😈
