Chapter 2

                Tai was in the locker room when the power went off.  The coach quickly told everyone not to panic, but some did.  When the power came back on, one of the players for the other team was lying on the ground, moaning.  Both coaches quickly rushed to assist him.  Tai began to change back into normal clothes.  "Stupid storm" He muttered to himself.  One of the coaches ran back out to the gym to see if anyone had a phone that they could use.  Tai grabbed his bag and walked through the commotion back to the gym.  He didn't care about the downed player, he just didn't care. 

                Joe was covering the body of the man crushed beneath the storm door.  Once he saw what happened he rushed down to the trapped person.  Blood was splattered on the ground where he was crushed.  He was dead when Joe got to him.  More of the people had left when the power came on.  Others stayed to see what happened to the crushed person.  Joe wanted to leave now but he knew he had to stay to tell the cops the time of death.  He walked back to the bleachers.  Mimi walked over near him and sat down.  "So strange." She said quietly to herself.  Joe found it strange too.  Those doors were controlled by a panel in the power room on the other side of school.  Joe looked over at Mimi.  "I'll be right back."  He said.

                Matt was sick of this whole situation.  He walked down the stadium seats and stopped where the gang had gathered.  Approaching them Sora looked up.  "Time to go?"  She asked.  Matt nodded his head.  Mimi spoke up.  "Joe has to stay here until an ambulance or  police showed up to say when the man died."  Then the coach ran over to them.  "Do any of you have a cell phone?"  He asked.  "Didn't you get one coach?"  Tai asked.  The coach took a breath.  "Yeah but the battery was dead when we dialed."    Everyone shook their heads.  "Ok, well you are the last people here so I wanted to check."  As he walked away Matt looked around, there was no one left except for them.  Tai trailed after his coach.

                "Hey coach!"  Tai said as he came along side him.  "What?"  The coach glumly replied.  There's a phone up in the office in the front of the school."  The coach stopped.  "Can we get to it?"  "Sure."  He paused for a second.  "Can you go dial the police for me?"  Tai, without thinking, said, "Sure."  Tai ran off out of the Gym. 

                Mimi leaned on Matt's shoulder.  She didn't know why but she always felt comfort when she was near him.  And she definitely needed comfort now.  Some of the original gang drifted from Matt once he turned freak on them.  She admitted once that some of his band's lyrics were a little off and strange but there was something about him that drew her in. 

                Sora couldn't wait any longer.  "Hey, Mimi, Come to the bathrooom with me?"  Sora stood up waiting for her answer.  Mimi took her head off Matt's shoulder.  "Sure."  The girls grabber both their purses and walked out of the gym. 

                Izzy slid next to Matt.  "She's got a nice ass."  Izzy said.  Matt looked over at him.  "What?"  He said.  Izzy nodded toward the two leaving girls.  "Which one?"  Izzy slouched.  "Well they both have nice asses but, I'd go for Sora's."   Matt looked at him strangely.  "Dude, she could kick your ass."  "So" Matt laughed.  "So you're into that dominatrix thing?"  Izzy's face went blank.  "Ha ha very funny."  Then the lights went out again.  "You have got to be kidding me." 

                Izzy was going to say something but he heard a footstep come up from behind him.  He looked behind him and something cut his throat.  He tried to scream as he fell backwards but he couldn't.  He heard something jump down next to him as he hit the gym floor.  He grabbed at his throat.  Blood poured out from one of his ruptured veins.  Suffocating on his own blood Izzy heard a whisper next to his ear.  "Goodbye Izzy" He grabbed in the direction of the voice, but he found nothing.  He saw nothing but darkness.  Eternal darkness.

                Joe was walking down corridor A5. He knew where to head.  Nearly every day in his technology class the power would shut off at some of the Powerstations and he was always sent to the electrical room to fix it.  As he was walking down the corridor the power went off again.  He paused to let his eyes adjust to the darkness.  Moonlight poured through the doors at the end of the hallway.  As he continued he thought heard something out there.  He paused again.  He heard a soft crying.  Someone was crying somewhere near.  He continued down the hallway.  Across from the doors he saw a figure.  A girl was sitting on the ground with her knees pulled up to her face.  She cried quietly.  As he walked closer she looked up, she must have heard him walking toward her.  He knew that face.  She backed up into a trashcan.  Joe noticed something else; she was naked.  "Kari?"  Joe asked.  "Joe…" Her voice trailed off.  He took off his jacket as he walked toward her.  "Here, you need this more than I do."  She took the jacket, slid it on, and stood up.  "What's wrong?"  She looked up at him.  "Some-someone killed-" her voice began to waver.  "T.K."  She began to cry again.  Joe was taken aback at the news.  "Where, when?"  She wiped a tear from her eye.  "In the supply shed. I-I saw it."  Joe looked at her strangely.  "What were you doing in there?"  "We were just-" Joe took her by the arm.  "It doesn't matter, just get back to the others in the gym.  And tell them that I'll be back in a second. I have to go turn the lights back on." She looked at him.  "It'll be ok." She took off down the hallway and left Joe standing there. He turned around and continued walking toward the power room.
