Buena Vista, Colorado

Bladen High School, home of the Warrior Wolves, is a small town school with a population of 2,000 students. A school where everyone knew everyone and no student can have any type of privacy due to every student having connections with one another. Like any other high school, Bladen had its cliques, jocks, preps, Goths, but the one group that was popular and pretty much owned the school were the cheerleaders.

Bladen Cheerleaders were always known as champions since they won all but one State Competition. In 2003, the Warrior Wolves lost to their rival, the Avenue High School Rams, due to the Senior captain, Evelyn Spacey twisting her ankle before a routine in which she lead causing the Wolves to come in second. The captain of the squad was pretty much ruler of the school and everyone pretty much worshipped her. All cheerleaders wished to be the senior captain and hoped they got promoted when it came to their last year of high school. This year's lucky lady was no other than Lauren Michaels. Lauren was the most popular girl since the day she stepped into the school her freshman year. Lauren had picked her best friend, Jennifer Williams, as the co-captain since they did everything together. The two of them ruled the school like no other. Anything they wanted they got from getting a guy to buy their lunch to getting a free lift home after practices. The girls lived the life along with the rest of their squad.

It was a Friday night and the squad had stayed late to rehearse a new routine. A routine that was being prepared for the upcoming Cheerleading County Competition. As always everyone expected the Warrior Wolves Cheerleaders to take it all the way. The squad was in the locker room getting showers and getting ready to go home for the night. Lauren, the senior captain, had long shiny brunette hair and legs to die for (Lauren was probably the most gorgeous girl in the school and on the squad) was at the front of the locker room to get the girls attention to make an announcement. Lauren steps up on one of the benches and claps to get everyone's attention "Girls listen up! This is important! This is about next week!" Once everyone heard Lauren they all turned around stopping what they were doing to listen.

Lauren smiles after she got her squads attention "Great rehearsal girls. I think we are coming along great. As always we need to show those Rams who the best are. Jennifer and I will come up with the last couple of counts for the routine and add it next time we meet. REMEMBER, even though we have a week off soon doesn't mean we can slack. If I find out no one is rehearsing their routine at least once a day I will make a mandatory meeting during break."

Lauren waited to say anymore since the girls were mumbling and groaning since they didn't want to have to show up at the school during their spring break. Once the noises calmed down Lauren started speaking again "I don't want to come during break as much as the next person, but make sure you all have fun and Paige PLEASE don't break or sprain anything this season. We can't afford to lose you again" She made a small chuckle "Have a good weekend and see you girls on Monday after break" Lauren jumped down from the bench and went over grabbing her cheerleading bag.

Everyone gathered their stuff and left except for Paige since she was still getting dressed from getting out of the shower earlier. Paige was the runt of the squad and the daredevil. She was also the prankster of the squad so it was hard for anyone to really believe her when she said anything. Paige had just gotten her shirt on when she heard something that sounded like shattered glass. She looks around a little paranoid "Hello?"

Paige didn't hear anything else and shook her head going back to putting her uniform and equipment into her duffle bag. She closed her locker and picked up her bag to only hear another sound, but this time it sounded like a locker was slammed. Paige puts her bag down and walks around the locker room "Girls this is not funny. Who is in here?"

She continued to walk around the locker room thinking someone on the squad was trying to get revenge on a past prank and Paige thought they were doing a good job scaring her. Paige turned a corner and stopped since it was freezing cold all of a sudden. She looks down seeing her breath and bites her lip hard panicking in fear and shaking from the coldness of the locker room. That was all she could take of being in the locker room so turned around going to her locker to grab her stuff to only be hit in the head with a locker door that somehow was swung open. She hit the ground putting her hand over her face not knowing what was going on. Paige looked up after rubbing her face gently then lets out a loud scream that echoed throughout the whole school.
