CHAPTER SIX

OUT OF THE

DARKNESS

The All-Stars squeezed onto the bench at the park entrance. They weren’t talking. But they couldn’t bring themselves to leave. Not after what had just happened.

The sun dropped behind the trees. The evening breeze was colder than usual. But they didn’t move.

Jasmine lifted her head like she had an idea. The rest of the team waited. They held their breath. Then she went back to playing with her hair.

Tyler stood. “We’re not going to figure something out like this.”

“You’re right,” said Cam. “We need to get some rest.”

“Like that’s going to be easy,” said Brianna.

“If we even make it home,” whispered Markus. He pointed into the darkness.

A small group of lights shined down the street. They moved closer and closer to the park. Toward the All-Stars.

“Quick,” said Jasmine. “We need to hide.” She ducked behind a tree.

“No! We should sneak out between the houses,” said Cam.

“Wait!” said Tyler. “Where’s the ball?”

“Forget about it,” answered Brianna. “We need to get out of here.”

The voices behind the flashlights grew louder. “Hey!”

Brianna grabbed Tyler’s hand and pulled.

“Wait up!” The voice called out again.

“Let’s go!” said Jasmine.

“Not yet,” answered Tyler.

He turned. He watched the lights reach over the grass.

Cam joined Tyler at his side. “What do you see?” he asked.

Tyler used his hand to block the lights from his eyes. “Nothing,” he said. “But that voice—”

“Thanks for holding up.” It was T.J. behind the lights. And Steve, Jason, and the rest of the Golden Roots Prep team.

Markus, Jasmine, and Brianna stopped walking away.
