I stared dizzily through the haze of blinking lights. Everyone in the gym seemed stunned, unable to move.

“Get him!” I repeated weakly.

The stranger stopped spinning and stabbed the air with both hands.

The lights blinked faster. The gym doors slammed shut with a loud BOOM.

A low hum buzzed through the air. It grew louder and louder, until finally the hum became a roar. The roar of a speeding plane about to crash.

What’s that sound? I thought, staring around the room.

The floor of the gym shook. People tumbled to the ground. I struggled to keep my balance.

“No!” I cried. “Please! Please!”

The water splashed up from the dunking tank and swept over the gym like a tidal wave. People were screaming now—screaming and running for cover. I dove across the gym as the water washed over my feet.

I saw the food table ahead of me. Tina cowered behind it.

I’ll jump on top of it, I decided.

I splashed across the gym floor. Just as I was about to leap, the food table suddenly burst into flames.

“Help!” Tina screamed, stumbling away. People were scurrying in all directions, screaming and crying in panic.

I headed toward the basketball booth. Right before I reached it, it exploded!

Screams echoed through the gym. The air filled with smoke. I’ve got to find Amanda, I realized.

“Amanda!” I shouted. “Amanda! Where are you?”

The gym rocked and tossed like a boat on the ocean.

I stumbled across the floor, trying to keep my balance.

“Amanda!” I screamed again.

Another buzz. Something dove toward my head. I ducked.

Wasps! The gym was swarming with wasps. They buzzed through the air, darting and diving.

People shrieked as the wasps attacked.

An angry swarm of wasps surrounded me like a dark cloud.

“Noooo!” A scream escaped my throat. I covered my head and tried to run away from them.

The swarm stuck with me. I scooped a handful of water off the wet floor and tried to splash them away.

The wasps buzzed off to attack someone else.

“Get me out of here!” a man pleaded. He threw himself against the door and banged on it furiously.

It wouldn’t open. It was locked!

People piled up against the door, pushing and shoving.

“Let us out!” they shouted.

Another game booth exploded into flames.

I scanned the gym for my little sister. And spotted her cowering against the back wall, surrounded by wasps. She was screaming and covering her head.

“Amanda!” I called over the deafening noise. “I’m coming!”

I dove across the gym floor. Panicking people blocked my way. I shoved them aside. I had to reach Amanda.

I saw the hooded stranger ahead of me. He glided across the floor. Nothing bothered him—not the wasps, or the rocking, spinning gym, or the flames dancing over the room.

He just kept moving—heading straight for Amanda!

I had to get to her first. My way was blocked by the face-painting table.

I crawled over the table. I jumped off. The table burst into flames.

I dodged the fire.

Too late.

The hooded figure grabbed Amanda—and lifted her off the floor.

“No!” I shrieked. “Let her go!”

Amanda screamed in terror.

The stranger swung her high—and carried her away.
