FOURTEEN

Hunter

Hunter didn’t like leaving Kayla alone. He knew how awful the nightmares were, but he also knew that they were running out of time. It was already almost dawn when he got back.

Ethan was awake and waiting for Hunter.

Hunter knew how Ethan was anxious to get out of there and he knew the reason.

“I need to talk to you,” said Hunter.

“What’s up?”

Hunter sighed.

“Just say it,” said Ethan.

“Kayla is so stuck on helping you find Jennifer and I’m sure that will only get her found and stuck back in here.”

“Look, all I want from you is to help me out of this place. Once we are out, you and Kayla can go your own way. I will be fine.”

Hunter shook his head.

“You don’t know Kayla. If she is stuck on helping you, that is what she is gonna do.”

“Okay, then I don’t understand what you want ME to do about it.”

Hunter ran his fingers through his hair. He was worried, tired, frustrated… “I don’t know what to do. Kayla is right about so many things…. we will need a place to stay, money –“

Ethan tensed thinking that maybe they were changing their minds about leaving.

“The most difficult part will be getting out of here, we will work out the rest… and as far as you being worried about Kayla, we will be careful. If you sense danger, I will disappear and she will have no option but to let it go.”

Hunter laughed. He knew that wouldn’t stop Kayla either.

“Just worry about us getting out of here first,” said Ethan.

That was when they heard the screaming coming from outside.

Kim

Kim was having one of her practice sessions that night. They started those sessions after midnight; right after the faculty members did their last rounds and left their dorm.

Two of the haunted hadn’t made it, so she kept the practice session with the three haunted who did show up.

Kim knew that there were ghosts surrounding the academy that night, and she also knew that their leader, the Demon, was not around, which made for a perfect night to test how far they could push their powers. She knew exactly how close they were to the Academy and when she should put the wards back up.

Ever since she started those practice runs, she got faster at taking the wards down and putting them back up. Doing so didn’t even faze her anymore.

It all happened so fast. She put the wards down and quickly felt it go back up as the others replaced her. She heard the screaming and quickly turned to the three haunted that were holding the wards up. They all looked as if they were in shock. She just then realized that being short two people led them to make the mistake on how much power they should have used. She was fast in putting the wards back up, but it was too late. She was able to keep the ghosts out, but there had been another Demon wandering around the gates of the Academy and that Demon, was now trapped inside.
