Welp it's official. I canceled "Mysterious Things."

I'm sorry guys, I just kind of lost interest.

If you're reading "New Reality" right now, I'm glad.

But if you were only reading it so you could wait for "Mysterious Things," then…

Sorry. I just don't have any good ideas for it anymore.

Also, a quick announcement:

I'm having a contest! I need a better cover for my story. I don't think Sonic and Tails are covering it anymore. :/

So, whoever can draw a picture of something that best represents the story, will have it become the new cover!

I would, of course, give the drawing credit to whoever drew it.

It can be Pyro and the girls at the club, it can be something glitched or messed up, or it can be a picture of the third eye cult insignia!

Whatever you want, as long as it relates to the story.

If you want to enter, P'm me. I'll give you more rules and details then.

Anyway, let's jump right in, shall we?

(Line breaks are awesome)

3rd person P.O.V

If there was one place everyone in Zetville was afraid of the most, it was Midnight Forest. It was rumored to be filled with all kinds of ghosts and monsters, not to mention the old abandoned Lab in the middle of the forest. Also, the old Lab happened to be a secret front for a human experiment center.

So, you could imagine the horror from the students of Akademi High school when they learned that the timidest club in the school was heading there for a late-night camp-out.

Everyone was scared, that is, except for Mr. A.

It was the perfect cover for his plan. Two people go missing in a forest that's rumored to be haunted. One of them, the boy, would brutally killed by a "Monster."

The other, The girl, kidnapped by a mysterious "Ghost."

Mr. A was happy for the first time in a while.

He would finally put an end to the annoyance known as Pyro Tadshi.

And they would retrieve the weapon.

Ooh, she was gonna get a good punishment.

He would make sure he delivered it himself.

And she would scream for mercy.

But as everyone knows…

English teachers are the least merciful people on the planet.

(LINEBREAKS… BREAK.)

PYRO'S P.O.V

I rode my bike down the road, heading to the path that would take me to the entrance of Midnight Forest. I really couldn't believe it. After all this time, I might finally get answers to all the questions I've been looking for.

Is Libby really Monika's sister?

How was my dad related to all this?

Does the cult still exist?

Will one of us die mysteriously?

Ok that last one wasn't a question, that was actually one of my fears. If something happened to one of us tonight, it's my fault. I'm the one who allowed everyone to come here; it was supposed to be only me. So, if something happens to anyone, it's my faul—

"Um…Earth to weirdo?" a voice interrupted my thoughts. I looked beside me to see Natsuki riding her bike right next to me. "Oh! Hey, 'suki! When did you pull up next to me?" I said. It was kind of hard to talk while riding, but I managed. "I've been here for five minutes straight. Seriously, what's up with you? What are ya thinking about?" she said, her attention focused on the bike. "Um…I guess I'm scared of what will happen tonight," I said sheepishly.

Natsuki rolled her eyes and mumbled, "Boys." "HEY!" I yelped angrily at her. She laughed and said, "I'm kidding, yeesh. Anyway, don't worry alright? All those rumors are fake. It's just some group of jerks who have no time on their hands," she said, beginning to ride faster. I wasn't worried about the stupid rumors. I was worried about the "third eye" capturing all of us and cutting are brains open.

But whatever. Bygons be bygons.

"Hey, race you to the checkpoint!" she said, taking off ahead of me. I smiled evilly. "Oh it's on," I said, swerving down a different path. A shortcut I learned to take a while ago.

Soon, I arrived at the checkpoint. I looked around. "Sweet, I made it here first!" I said to myself. At least, I thought I did until I heard someone behind me cleared their throat. I turned to see Anon smirking full blast, and Sayori standing beside them, trying not to laugh.

"H-how did you guys get here first?!" I said in disbelief. "Dude, our houses are right down the road," Anon chuckled. Welp, guess I'm not fast after all. While Anon and Sayori giggled, I checked out there looks.

Anon was wearing a simple black hoodie and red shorts. Sayori wore a pink t-shirt and brown shorts with sandals.

Natsuki soon pulled up, and stared at us in shock. She threw her hands up in the air. "Seriously! Can't I ever win at something?" she moaned. While Anon and Sayori chuckled, I checked out Natsuki's get-up.

She was wearing a simple white t-shirt along with a black skirt and sneakers.

"Natsuki, did you remember the snacks?" Sayori said, her mouth drooling profusely. Natsuki nodded. "Yup! I brought some chips and pretzels, along with a few cupcakes!" She spoke with pride, as if she just introduced a feast. I rolled my eyes. She always complained that boys boasted a lot, and yet here she was, bragging about her ability to choose snacks.

A few minutes later, a car drove up to the entrance of the woods, and Yuri stepped out, wearing a back-pack, a Tan sweater, and black jeans. She waved to whoever was driving the vehicle, and they pulled off.

"Yuri, where's your bike?" Sayori said in confusion. Yuri shook her head. "I don't own a bike," she replied, setting her pack on the ground. "I couldn't find enough sleeping bags, so I bought a tent with enough blankets in it. Would that suffice?" she said nervously.

Sayori smiled. "That's a perfect idea, Yuri! Great job." Yuri looked physically relieved. I looked around and smiled. Everyone was here except for—

"Hey, guys!" a voice called. Monika rode her bike into the clearing and skidded to a stop. "Everyone ready?" she said, looking ready for action. Monika wore a snug white t-shirt, with a black jacket on, and shorts. She had her signature white bow in her hair and, like Sayori, she wore sandals.

"Yes, Monika, everything is accounted for besides the camera and the flashlights!" Sayori said joyfully.

I pulled out the camera. "I got it right here," I said. Unlike everyone else's clothing, mine wasn't special. I wore a grey t-shirt, along with a pair of green shorts and tennis shoes.

"And the flashlights are in my bag! We're all set!" Monika spoke. With a nod from Monika, we all jumped back on our bikes, except Yuri. She climbed on the back of Sayori's. We rode off into the forest, searching for the old abandoned Lab.

3rd person P.O.V

A man watched the people enter the forest.

He turned to the group of people behind him and motioned them to enter the forest from a different angle.

Each of the soldiers walked in perfect sync, and their eyes were grey.

The man turned around and clapped someone on their shoulder.

"You're doing perfect. Keep it up, and soon revenge will be yours," The man said.

The person nodded and spoke in a raspy voice.

"Don't worry. As long as the minds of the subjects are under my power…that boy will never leave the forest alive."

The man grinned and headed into the van behind them.

The figure studied the forest.

Her eyes glowed with a sick joy.

"Soon, sister. Soon we will meet again."

The person turned around and entered the car.

Her eyes could be seen through the window, even though the windows were tinted.

They were a glowing, evil, bright, and insane...
