….

Okay…Now on with the story!

Shadows in the Darkness

That was all she could see.

Suddenly a pale figure emerged; running out of the shadows.

All Rachel saw was the boy's blonde locks and piercing green eyes before his chest popped forward and his body burst into flames.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

The girl tumbled off her bed in shock, shakily reaching her arm out and turning off the alarm on her phone.

Still attempting to shake off the dream, she grabbed a pair of black skinnies and a black cami out of her bag before making her way to the shower.

'That was so weird. I've been having that dream for three days now…..' Rachel mused thoughtfully.

'Could it mean anything?'

Deciding not to dwell on it any longer the girl shook the thoughts from her head and quickly finished up her shower before stepping out and drying herself off.

After that was finished she slipped on her clothes and caught her reflection in the mirror.

'Nothing out of the ordinary there.' She thought dryly as she stared at her pale skin and jet black hair.

She noticed the slight bags under her purple eyes and rubbed them slightly to lessen the effects before ultimately giving up on the effort and walking down stairs to be greeted by her mother sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee and the newspaper.

"Morning Rachel" her mother smiled, taking another sip of her coffee as she scanned the paper.

"Morning" Rachel replied as she grabbed an apple out of the fruit bowl and sat down in the chair opposite of her.

"School should be starting in a half hour, you got everything ready?"

The teen nodded distractedly as she picked at her apple, not really hungry.

"Well alright then," her mother sighed, used to her daughter's behavior. "get your bag and I'll take you to school."

She once again nodded and lazily walked up the steps to her room, grabbed her bag and once again headed to the kitchen.

"You ready?"

"Yeah." The teen answered dryly, as her mother grabbed her purse and keys and left to the car.

It was a thirty minute drive until they finally reached Summit High School-clearly marked by the chipped and battered sign centered in an old garden hedge.

Rachel stared underwhelmed at the total size of it all.

Summit High was made up of a few two story buildings and about 6 to 8 more wings all marked with a small plaque on the side to state which building it was.

Number of Students? 572

"Ready Rachel?" her mom asked from the driver seat as she began to unfasten her seat belt.

Rachel could only sigh once more, "Let's just get this over with." She deadpanned, stepping out of her mom's Honda Fit and trudging up the steps to the main office.

As she was almost at the top of the stairs however, a Dark Purple Harley cut in-front of her. Almost tumbling her backwards, before her mother caught her.

"Rachel! Are you alright?" she asked in concern.

The girl nodded as she fixed her eyes on the biker responsible and fixed him with her harshest glare that turned into a look of shock and fear as he pulled of his helmet.

Staring back at her was a wiry young teenager with blonde bangs sweeping over to the side and falling haphazardly around the rest of his face. He was in a pair of black combat boots, black skinnies and a tight black V-neck. But what frightened her was the familiar green eyes staring back at her in a cold, calculating gaze.

Images from her dreams plagued her, until she shook them away and resumed back to glaring.

Freeing herself from her mother's grip, the girl walked the rest of the way to the office, ignoring the piercing gaze of the green-eyed teenager.

Breathing a sigh of relief as she walked through the door, Rachel freed her thoughts of the mysterious teen that's been plaguing her nightmares and walked up to the office secretary.

"Excuse me." The teen asked politely.

The old lady just continued typing, completely ignoring her.

"Excuse me"

Once again the woman wouldn't respond

Eyebrow twitching, Rachel drummed her nails loudly against the counter and cleared her throat angrily.

Finally lifting her beady eyes away from the computer screen the haggardly old woman fixed the girl with a steely yellow-eyed gaze, her tongue clicking against her rotted teeth.

"Can I help you?" the woman asked roughly.

The teen nodded, pulling out her Transcripts and handing them to the secretary.

Pushing up her glasses the secretary mumbled incoherently before fixing Rachel with another glare.

"You're the new student?"

Receiving another nod from the teen, the woman smiled venomously.

"We've been expecting you. I'm Ms. Salem" She replied cryptically, as she put together the girl's schedule and handed it back to her.

As their hands made contact, Rachel's eyes whited out as a vision possessed her.

VISION

Ms. Salem stood in a long, black robe in a dark, fire filled cave. A young teen kneeling before it as she stood with a black knife enclosed in her hands.

'The time has come.' Ms. Salem proclaimed, her eyes glowing yellow as she was about to make the blow.

END VISION

Rachel stumbled backward, falling against the wall. She looked over at the old secretary, who was looking back at her in confusion.

"Everything alright?"

Rachel nodded and straightened herself grabbing her schedule and walking out the door.

Never noticing Ms. Salem's sinister smile or glowing yellow eyes;

The girl was walking down the halls trying to find her class, when she walked right into a solid wall.

"Oomph!" she cried falling to the floor.

Looking up she saw that what she thought was a wall was actually the chest of a large African-American Teen.

"Oh sorry about that little missy, here let me help you back up." He offered his hand.

Tentatively taking it, the teen was lifted back onto her feet effortlessly and was greeted by a friendly smile.

"Sorry about that, my name's Vic, you new here?"

Rachel only nodded as Vic smiled again.

"Alright then, need some help getting to your class?" he asked kindly.

She smiled back and nodded, handing him her schedule.

Looking it over the Boy's smile grew "Oh yeah, I have all these classes too, Ms. McKinnely is right over this way."

With that he started walking at a leisurely pace, Rachel trying to match his strong strides.

"Thanks for the help," The girl smiled appreciatively, "I'm Rachel."

Vic just smiled and crossed his muscular arms behind his shaved head.

"No problem, if you need any help just feel free to holler k lil miss?"

The girl nodded in confirmation as they walked through the door.

Ms. McKinnely was standing at the front of the room when they entered her class room.

A young woman, with a pretty face Ms. McKinnely smiled in a motherly fashion at the two as they came in.

"Hello, Vic, who's your friend?"

The large teen smiled and held a hand towards Rachel.

"This is Rachel, she's new here and I was showing her around.

The teacher nodded, and smiled at the girl.

"Well hello Rachel, I hope you like it here at Summit High School please take a seat-"

The door slammed open as a blonde-haired, green-eyed boy walked in leisurely.

Ms. McKinnely's face suddenly took on a tired look as she appraised the new guest.

"Mr. Logan."

"Ms. McKinnely."

The woman sighed tiredly and pointed at a seat in the corner.

"Please just take your seat Mr. Logan."

Nodding, the teen strolled up to his desk, kicking his feet up and sitting lazily in his seat, seemingly dozing off as soon as he sat down.

Ms. McKinnely sighed, before smiling back at Rachel.

"Please go take a seat over by Vic, and Welcome to Summit High School."

Rachel nodded, and offered a small smile before taking a seat next to a smiling Vic; not feeling the piercing stare of the blonde teen who was watching her wearily.

Meanwhile Elsewhere…..

A figure wrapped in all black moved swiftly through the green forest trails before vanishing into the abyss of a dark cave.

They walked further down, seemingly used to the peer blackness of the cave before they came into a lit opening.

In the middle of the enormous cave stood piles upon piles of black-wax candles with a teen bound and gagged in the center of what appeared to be a symbol on the floor.

The figure pulled down their hood and appeared before the captured teen.

They panicked and tried to yell but all could come out were muffled screams.

Ms. Salem laughed wickedly, her rotted teeth glinting dimly in the candlelight as she pulled out a knife made out of volcanic glass, and with glowing yellow eyes said in an ethereal voice

"The time has come." And slit the boy's throat.

He fell to the ground, his blood leaking into the floor as the symbol underneath, glowed a luminescent red.

Ms. Salem smiled, her eyes still glowing as she looked into the red mist forming inside of the circle.

"Hello Master."

"Yes, the girl is here."

"No I wasn't discovered."

The old woman chuckled sinisterly.

"Logan is just a thorn in our side; he won't get in the way."

The circle grew brighter.

"Understood, I will procure the girl as soon as I can."

And after that a black mist arose from the circle and phased into the dead teen,

His eyes opened, the mark of scath appearing on his forehead as his eyes turned pitch black.

So that was Ch. 2!
