Last I checked, we don't own the rights to ObsCure.
If we ever buy them, we'll let you know. But as of right now – no.


Prologue: Disappearance
POV: Shannon Matthews


As soon as I stepped off the bus, a young girl came running up to me, shooting her mouth off like there was no end. It didn't take long for my still-asleep mind to register it was Ashley Thompson, the female jock of Leafmore High. Groaning to myself, I listened as she complained about my brother – what did I care? He didn't even come home last night.

Then again, wasn't he supposed to be with her anyways? What was she complaining about? "I can't believe he stood me up again!" Ashley added in quickly, causing a confused look to cross my face. Out of all the things I could have tuned out, if only it'd been that sentence.

"What...? Kenny wasn't with you?" I asked, tilting my head slightly. I had to admit, a few people passing by us did double-takes when they realized what clothing we wore – I always had a thing for dressing a bit on the revealing side, in order to hide my brainy perk. Ashley, on the other hand, wore a black thong with a way-too short shirt. At least she had jeans on though, that made me look like the skimpier one with my short skirt.

"No! I just said he stood me up, weren't you listening? Sheesh, Shannon..." Ashley rolled her eyes, then crossed her arms in an angry manner. She sat down on a bench nearby and sighed, and I quickly sat down next to her. So many thoughts were running through my head. If Kenny hadn't come home just where had he gone?

"He never came home last night," I muttered quietly, trying to keep my eyes off the creepy principal standing in the doorway. Mr. Friedman was a total freak.

Ashley got bug-eyed at this, her breath catching in her throat. What!? "He didn't come home, either? Do you think something happened to him...?" She turned to look at the direction my gaze had gone in, groaning when she saw the principal. Apparently she wasn't too fond of him either.

"I don't know. This is creepy." I rose from my seat, followed by Ashley, and we both made our way towards the school. I turned my head towards the girl and rolled my eyes. "The principal is so creepy. He's always watching us like a hawk..."

"No kidding."


Once I walked into the classroom, I noticed that the camera boy from yesterday had graciously snatched the seat in front of mine and Ashley's. Ah. Great. Making my way towards the chair behind him, I plopped down in it and sighed from pure stress, ready to elbow someone to death until they told me where Kenny was. Ha-ha. If only this were a cliché flick. The boy in front of us was messing around with his camera, until he noticed both of the crest-fallen girls.

"Hey, ladies. What's wrong with you two?" I wanted to punch him as soon as he asked. Obnoxious asshole.

"It's Kenny. He went missing," Ashley answered for the both of us, focusing on her feet instead of the boy's face.

"Look, Josh, you wouldn't happened to of seen him?" I blinked a few times, trying to drown out any looks of hatred I wanted to give him so badly. He didn't seem to notice.

"Nah. I left right after the practice yesterday." Josh placed his camera in it's bag and zipped it up. "Maybe aliens beamed him up into their space ship and began experimenting on him?" His lips twitched into a small smile. I really, really wanted to shove my foot down his throat. How could he be joking at a time like this?

"Ha-ha," I said sarcastically, sighing.

"We should call the cops." Ashley looked ready to whip out her phone. I couldn't tell if it was actually to call 9-1-1, or if she just wanted to throw it at Josh as much as I did.

"I can't! They'd definitely tell my parents, and Kenny would kill me!" I shuddered. My brother's wrath was kind of scary. Worse than any serial killer, really. I was a little surprised he hadn't tried to fight back whoever had gotten him. Did he? Then again, I shouldn't assume things. How do I know he even got kidnapped? Oh, please.

"I know, we can stay here tonight to look for him!" Josh threw his fist into the air excitedly, which caught the attention of our teacher, Mr. Walden.

"Carter, sit down!" Walden snapped his fingers, pointing to Josh's seats. Ha. That's what you get, camera boy.

Josh quickly obeyed, and sat down into his seat. Without giving us a second thought, he smiled and let out a hearty laugh. "Yes! My first real investigation!"

I groaned. This was going to be an extremely long day.. night... afternoon? Whatever, you get the point. Heh. Little did I know, all hell would break loose. Fun, fun.


At exactly six, all three of us met up in our sad excuse for a teacher's lounge. All the students had already fled home – lucky bastards – while I was stuck here investigating with the female jock and the school perv- I mean, camera boy. Of course, I hid behind the chair, Ashley was hiding beside the snack machine, and Josh was under the table. We had to duck into hiding when we heard the janitor coming...

Joy.

Once I heard the door lock, I came out from behind the chair and sighed. "Okay. So, we're in... now what?" I looked at the other two expectantly, but they just stared blankly back at me – as if expecting the answer from the source. I hated being the smart one. "Well... I guess we'll check around here first."

I looked over at a bat lying on the table, and quickly instructed Ashley to pick it up. She was the strongest after all... poor Josh. As soon as my eyes locked onto the glass door nearby, I pointed to it, and the school jock caught my drift.

Ashley went over to the glass window and smashed it in. Josh was busy picking up some kind of drink on the table – along with some disc. Meh. I made my way over to the door and reached my hand in, grabbing the knob on the other side. Once the door was unlocked, I pushed it open and stepped through.

A supply closet. How thrilling.

I noticed a small glimmer on the shelf, and made my way to it. I picked up a small item sitting there... a piece of wire? Nodding my head, I ran back out of the closet and made my way to the door the janitor had locked. Leaning down, I inserted the wire into the key-hole, biting my lip in frustration as I worked with it. If only I had a lock-smith here...

After a moment, I heard a small click in the hole. Handing the wire to Ashley, she discarded of it quickly, and we turned to the now open door leading into the halls of Leafmore High.

A wry smile came to my face as I turned to look at the other two. "So... shall we get going, then?"

And that was when hell broke loose.
