"Zach, what's the time?" Magenta was lifting up some plaster with Ethan while Zach lit up a whole in the wall so that Principle Powers could see the damage that was done.

"It's..." he lifted his arm up to check his watch, accidentally knocking over the principle. "Oh, sorry, Powers. It's nearly 3:30, Mag!"

"OK, thanks!" She went back to lifting the plaster pieces up and carrying them outside. The group had all been assigned different tasks to complete. Some of Layla's plants had taken residency inside the walls and building, so she was going through and coaxing them outside. Warren was working near her. Some of the plants were hard for her to control, and would try some tricky stuff. He gave them a 'warning'. Seeing as they couldn't, well, see, they backed off when they felt the heat from his hands.

"Will, how you doing up there?" Layla looked up to see Will hovering above them. He was checking out the ceiling for cracks and other things that might lead to more of the ceiling falling out.

"Seems pretty secure to me." He landed a few feet away from them.

"Look who has arrived. And I bear gifts...of music!" Zach walked into the cafeteria, holding a large stereo. Magenta and Ethan followed, each carrying a CD case. Everyone sat down and started looking through the music.

"Powers gave us a few hours off. Seeing as we're sleeping here and all, she said we could take a break."

"Oh my god! I completely forgot my stuff!" Layla jumped up. "I've got to call my mom and ask if I can stay, then I have to raid my gym locker, see if I left anything there."

"I could take you down." Warren looked at her, shrugging his shoulders. "It's not like we'd have to steal a bus or anything."

"OK. Let me call her, then we can go." She made a move to get up, but he grabbed her hand.

"I'll come with you." Together, they got up and went to find a phone.

A few hours later, the group was back together. They had decided to sleep in hallway outside the cafeteria. They danced to blaring music and watched movies with a TV from Coach Boomer's office.

"We should probably get some sleep guys," Will said, checking his watch to see that it was nearly 1 AM. "We have to get up early to work. That's why were sleeping here, remember? So we can get in a few extra hours?" The group grumbled and moaned, but eventually went to sleep. Warren lit a fire in the center of the group to keep warm, because the heaters didn't work yet in the school.

Layla bolted awake. She looked over at Warren's wrist, who was lying a few feet away from her. It was nearly 3:30 AM. She couldn't figure out why she woke up, so she laid back down to sleep. As she closed her eyes, she heard something, like a giggling coming from the cafeteria. At first she ignored it, thinking it was just her sleep-addled brain. The she heard a clinking and thumping, as if someone was knocking on a hollow surface. She got up and walked towards the cafeteria doors. She pushed them open and looked up at the ceiling. As her gaze settled on the scource of the noise, she gasped and screamed in terror.

Warren woke up and looked at his watch. It read 3:30. He was about to role over and go back to sleep when he noticed Layla's sleeping bag was empty. Now, normally he wouldn't have worried. But with the ceilings caving in everywhere, he got antsy. He also had a really bad feeling in his gut. So when he heard a gasp and a terrified scream coming from the cafeteria, he was the first one up and through the cafeteria doors. What he saw made him freeze.

Layla screamed again, and this one roused Will, Magenta, and Ethan. Zach slumbered on. He only awoke when Ethan tripped over him and Magenta nudged him hard with her foot.

"I heard a scream from the cafeteria." Magenta slurred, still only half awake.

"Warren and Layla are gone. They could be horsing around in there." Will looked sad as he said this, but the others took no notice.

Another scream erupted from the cafeteria, followed by a "GET THE HELL OFF HER!"

That was all the group needed to charge headfirst into the cafeteria and anything that awaited them.
