I slid into the empty seat in-between Jack and Scarlet seconds before the bell rang. Scarlet leaned over to me as Mrs. Malcom started to take attendance. Scarlet had been my best friend since 5th grade and Jack, well… he's my not-so-secret crush.

"That was close, what took you so long?" She whispered

"Coach Katina kept us late and I barely had time to change" It was Jack's turn to lean over.

"What was the problem this time?"

"Well-"

"Ms. Harrison, Ms. Jane and Mr. Fisher! Is something so important that it must be shared! Why don't you share it with the class?" Mrs. Malcom interrupted the conversation. She was staring at us as if she could see into our souls. I was distracted by her glare and my mind seemed blank. Thankfully, Scarlet was prepared.

"Mrs. Malcom, we were talking about the field trip today! We were soooo excited that we had to talk about it! Not to mention we have an expert such as yourself to guide us through the history exhibit!" If Mrs. Malcom loved two things, it was flattery and history.

Well, as much as I would love to guide such enthusiastic I am afraid that I will not be a group leader. Instead, we are having some volunteers from Boerne high school be your group leaders. I have a list of your groups' right here. Now, pay attention, the volunteers will be here soon to attain their groups. Once they have all of you they will take you to board the buses. Follow their instructions carefully and stay with the group." She paused as the "volunteers" walked in. I was surprised to see Collin among the group. "Now, the groups will be…" listened very carefully for my name, but so far, hadn't heard it

"Collin Harrison, your group will be,

Lily-Rose Harrison,

Devan Harrison,

Scarlet Jane,

Jack Fisher,

Emily Kelly, and

Cedar Johnsen"

Yes! My best friends are all in my group!

Devan was my twin brother. He was annoying, immature, and the last person I want to be in a group with. Annnd… Cedar was his best friend. Cedar was nice, though looked like he was as old as Collin and had crutches because he couldn't walk right. I took a seat next to Scarlet on the bus and hoped to have some fun.

Time Skip

Cedar was acting weirdly. He kept muttering about monsters, bad smells, and that we should have stayed in Boerne instead of coming into San Antonio.

Just relax, have some fun

We were sitting on the grass outside the Witte, eating lunch. Jack had his arm around me and Scarlet kept looking at me and him. I had enjoyed the exhibit and had a lot of fun. A lady came around the corner and glared at us.

"I will be paid well for your headsssss, demigod sssscum" She hissed.

"Um… do we know you?" I asked nervously.

"Not thissss form of me. Maybe, you'll like thisss one" Her legs turns into large, green pythons hissing and lunging at us. I scrambled up and backed away. Cedar pulled out some pipes and started to play a frantic tune.

"w-what are you!?" I demanded

The snake lady turned to me with a crimson smile "Your killer"
