Isaac

So far, nothing is happening. We would hear a rat scurrying around, or an owl hoot, but other than that, there is no one else here with us. We should probably leave, since nothing's going on.

Derek

"Don't go too far." I tell Boyd.

We've been walking around the school for an hour. Noone is here, not even the janitor. Maybe Amy and her family aren't planning anything tonight, but it'll be better to be safe than sorry. We were able to get into the school, because Boyd has the keys to all the doors, because he works on the ice rink and the school gave him the keys so he can do it at night.

He goes into the cafeteria while I walk down the hallway. I take cautious steps and keep any eye and ear out for anything that seems odd. I hear footsteps behind and turn to see Boyd walking over. Working at night in the school alone has its advantages because Boyd knows where all the cameras are posted, so he would let me know if we're a taking a path covered with the surveillance cameras.

There's nothing in the library, there's nothing in the entire school actually. We'll probably walk around one more time and leave if we don't find anything suspicious.

Scott

Isaac, and Erica are in the forest now since there's nothing going on near the school campus and Derek and Boyd are probably in the school because he has all the keys to the doors.

"What if they're not here?" asks Isaac.

"Then I guess we can leave, but that's Derek's choice," I say.

"I don't want to waste my time walking around and looking for some vampires, when they might not even be here." Erica says.

"I agree, but if they know we're here, they won't murder anyone." I say and they both agree.

That's when the sound of footsteps fill our ears. We exchange glances. It's coming from about ten yards behind us. It can't be Amy or anyone from her coven, they would want to be sneaky and try to not be detected. I can imagine them hopping from tree to tree before pouncing on their victim.

We walk closer to the sound of the footsteps in different directions, so in case it's Amy or anyone from her coven we'll surround them. We walk closer and see light, light from a flashlight. I stop in my tracks, thinking it's a hunter, but let it go because they would walk around in groups not alone. I'm correct, because it's just a night hiker.

"What brings you here at this time?" Erica asks him.

"I work for DPW, Department of Plants and Wildlife and I like to explore, so at night, I would camp out somewhere in the woods for my studies." the man says.

"What's your name?" asks Isaac.

"Jeff Holkins," he tells us.

"Well Jeff, I don't think it's safe out here for you to be camping." Erica tells him.

"What makes you say that? I have been doing this out in Washington and never had a problem, in fact, I've been doing this for two years now." says Jeff.

"We ran into a bear somewhere back there. It was terrifying, that's why we're leaving now." Erica says.

"No need to worry about me, I got a tranquilizing gun,"

I don't want to risk anything happening to him. He could be a victim to Amy and we might not even know it. Amy is probably trying to throw us off, by making us think that nothing won't happened, but later, something will. Before I can suggest that he camp out in the day time, Derek calls for us.

"Happy camping to you," I tell him.

"Thanks! Good night," he waves.

"Bye," says Erica and we run to the sound of Derek's voice.

He and Boyd are in the parking lot, where Derek parked the car. I bet they didn't find anything.

"Anything interesting?" Erica asks.

"Nope, you guys?" asks Boyd, we shake our head.

"We should go then" says Derek.

"What about Frannie and Perry?"

"You guys didn't run into them in the woods?" Derek asks.

"No,"

"I'll call them," Derek says and opens his mouth to howl, but Erica stops him.

"There's a guy in the woods, he's camping. Don't howl, who knows what he'll do if he hears it." Erica warns.

"Good point," Derek tells her.

We get into the car and sit, and Derek honks the horn. Two minutes later, Frannie and Perry get in.

"Did you guys find anything interesting?" I ask and they both shake their head. Derek steps on the gas and we leave the school.

"Do you think Amy killed George Fairfield by herself?" Erica asks.

"Maybe,"

"She probably waited until evening, then went out in the woods," Erica guesses.

"Did the police estimate what time George was found?" she asks.

"Stiles said probably around 7 pm, and the body was found the next morning." I tell her.

"So Amy must've gone into the woods by 7,"

"Wait, 7 pm?" Isaac asks suddenly interested.

"Yeah."

"Doesn't Amy join the girls volleyball team?" he asks. Erica and I both nod.

"What's your point?" Boyd joins in the conversation.

"They had a game on Thursday, the day before George's body was found, right?" Isaac asks.

"Yeah, they did." says Erica.

"The game started at 7." Isaac says.

"How do you know?" I ask.

"I know my sports," Isaac says with a grin.

"Whatever, so what are you trying to say?" Erica asks.

"Didn't the police say that the estimated time of death was around 7:14?" says Isaac.

"Yeah?" I say unsure of what his theory is.

"Well Amy didn't commit that murder. She went to the game at 7, and their coach treated them to some pizza after." Isaac says.

"So Amy didn't murder George Fairfield." Erica concludes and Isaac nods.

"Then who did?" asks Perry. He must've listened to everything.

"That's what we're going to find out," Derek butts in.

"Good job, Isaac." Erica says. Isaac thanks her.

Derek drops me off at my house. I take the house key out of my pocket and put into the door and twist it. I return the key to my pocket and twist the door. I walk in and turn on the light. I turn around and see my mom sitting on the couch and jump back.

"Where were you?" she asks.

"I was just with-"

"Stiles?"

"Yeah, we went to the arcade," I say.

"That last time you and Stiles went to an arcade was when you were both 12," she says. She gives me a questioning look.

"Is there something you're not telling me?" she asks.

"No,"

"Next time don't be late," she says, she gets up and walks to her room.

"Good night," I say.

"Good night,"

Late? I look up at the clock. 10:17. I walk into my room and take off my jacket. I throw it on the floor and get in bed and fall asleep.

The morning after

My alarm clock goes off. I roll over lazily and smack a button that shuts it off. I close my eyes and try to drift back into sleep. "Scott! I know you heard your alarm clock, get out of bed." Shit. I take a shower and put on some pants and red shirt.

I walk into the kitchen and fill a bowl of cereal. When I'm done, I put the bowl in the sink and wash my mouth.

"'I'm leaving for school, mom!" I let my mom know.

"Okay, have a good day!" she calls back.

I grab my car keys from the counter and walk outside the door. I get into my black car and turn it on. I step on the gas and drive off to school. When I get there, I park and get out of the car. As I make my way to the doors Stiles's jeep pulls up, he parks and walks over to me.

"I need to show you something important," he says.

"What, you're first chest hair?" I tease.

"Haha, very funny. No, it's something more extremely important. Like, my dad will kill you if I showed you-important."

"Is it evidence from the murder?" I ask.

"No, but you're going to want to look at this." After he says that, he digs through his bag and pulls out something. It's a picture of Jeff Holkins, the camper we met last night, all scratched up and bloody. In other words, dead.
