Chapter Fifty-Three
🎭 A Novel Approach 🎭


"The Dread Doctors by T.R.  McCammon." Lydia read as she, Aurora and Malia walked into the school. Lydia slowed down to a stop as she looked at the book Malia brought, making Malia almost run into her. "What?" Aurora asked and Lydia stared at the cover as she started walking again, "I don't know. There's something about it...Has anyone actually read it yet?"

"Just me, and I didn't understand any of it." Malia said making Aurora nodded, "We should probably all read it." She said and Malia nodded. "Kira's working on that." She said and Aurora and Lydia nodded as they walked up to Malia's locker.

"Stiles says he can't find anything on the author. He thinks it's a pen name." She said as Aurora looked at the book before turning it over to read the back.

"In a small New England town, teenagers are taken in the night and buried alive. Days later, they emerge transformed, wreaking havoc and spreading terror, commanded by an ancient order of parascientists know only as the Dread Doctors." She said then hummed slightly as she looked up at them, "Sounds familiar." She said and Malia nodded.

"How does it end?" Lydia asked and Malia shook her head, "It doesn't. This is supposed to be Volume One." Malia said making Lydia hum. "Oh, let me guess- there is no Volume Two?" Lydia asked and Aurora sighed, "With the track record we got? We're probably living volume two."

"Then maybe the real question is... Is this a novel or someone's prediction?"

"Why is your heart beating so fast?" Malia asked turning around as she and Lydia sat in class making Aurora stop as she was walking down the aisle to look at Malia and Lydia, who was looking at the book. "Look at this. Look at the acknowledgements  page." Lydia said holding the book out for them to read.

"For providing scientific perspective and invaluable insight... this book is dedicated to Dr. Gabriel Valack." Aurora said then closed her eyes and sighed softly, "Just out luck." She mumbled sarcastically.
