Also ominous much?
PessyStressy: Sorry
I meant I'm hearing things that are really strange
And creepy
fisharefriendsnotfood: Okay?
What am I supposed to do
And where are you
PessyStressy: I dunno
I just felt like I needed to tell somebody
And you were the first one in my contacts
I'm walking in an alley right now
It feels like it's never ending
fisharefriendsnotfood: I feel honored
But what do the sounds sound like
And that's kinda strange
PessyStressy: Kind of scuffling and ominous
Like hundreds of spiders
fisharefriendsnotfood: Thanks! Can't wait for that not at all scary image to haunt my dreams
PessyStressy: Sorry
But like I'm kinda scared?
Like what are these sounds?
I feel like I'm gonna die tbh
fisharefriendsnotfood: I'm sure ur not gonna die
It might just be some monster passing by
PessyStressy: No, it sounds like it's coming from somewhere around me
And it's real close and keeps getting closer from the sound of it
fisharefriendsnotfood: Okay yeah that's scary
But I'm sure you're just overreacting
PessyStressy: Okay, how many strange sounds have you heard in your house for you to be this chill?
fisharefriendsnotfood: None
PessyStressy: Wow, that is extremely reassuring
But I'm serious
I think there's something here
fisharefriendsnotfood: I'm sure it's nothing
You're gonna be fine

Gil?
U there?
Answer me
?
Every day, for five months, she'd call his number, waiting and waiting and waiting for him to pick up. And every day, for 152 days, she'd be sent straight to voicemail.
"Hello! You've reached Gillington Webber. Sadly, I'm not available right now. Leave a message, and I'll get back to you soon as possible!"
But he never did.
She never got a single call back from him. Not one. Not even a text message. It was as if he had suddenly just. . . disappeared. He wasn't the only one.
Five months ago, ten students from Monster High had mysteriously vanished. Ten students, who had promised to see the others the next day and smiled and waved goodbye happily, disappeared. Not a single trace or clue was left behind to hint to where they might be.
Gil was one of them. The other nine included Skelita, Jinafire, Porter, Deuce, Jackson and Holt, Invisi Billy, Venus, Twyla, and Howleen. Lagoona didn't think there was anything similar between them all. They got along fairly well, from what interactions they had with each other, but that was it.
Their last known locations were similar, however. They all seemed to disappear near or in alleys. Gil's phone was found in an alley by some sort of old, abandoned factory near the highschool, which was rather strange. What was he doing all the way out there? Maybe he heard something and went to investigate. She'd been a bit too tired to ask why he was in an alley. She regretted that now. Maybe if she had, she could have told him to go back inside.
That night, Porter had said he was painting in an alley when he heard strange scuffling noises. All ten of the missing students had sent similar texts. All ten of them had abruptly stopped and went offline.

It's like they just disappeared
Okay but should I make a chatfic with MH and EAH?
That was months ago. They haven't been online, or seen, since. Gil and Porter's icoffins were destroyed, their screens cracked and shattered and lifeless. Howleen and Twyla's icoffins were found together in an alley. Everyone else's phones were found in one of the two states. Smashed beyond repair, or simply laid down on the ground.
Clawdeen and Clawd were beyond worried. They always asked if anyone's seen Howleen. They put up missing photos and searched and scoured everyday whenever they had time. But they never found anything. Not even a scent. Whoever, or whatever, took them had hidden their tracks well.
The disappearances had affected everybody. And not in a good way. The halls seemed to be stuffed with a silent kind of fear, the kind that some were aware of and others not, but everyone seemed to feel. It charged the air, making the school feel a bit intimidating. Even Heath seemed more muted.
And then there was the announcement. The one about the ten new students.
Isn't it funny? Ten students disappear right before school starts, and then ten new students enroll months later.
Whatever. That was just a coincidence, or so Bonita said. Rochelle and Robecca, and others she did not know, seemed to think that it wasn't a coincidence, and privately, Lagoona agreed.
But Bonita was probably right. Maybe Monster High was filled to the max, and the absences of the ten students opened up to more monsters. Yeah, that was it. Surely, it was just a coincidence. Rochelle and Robecca were just being paranoid. Nothing was connected.
She didn't notice the warning bells ringing in the back of her head.
Things were about to change.
It wasn't a coincidence. And everything was connected.
Okay but should I make a chatfic with MH and EAH?
