ALIVE

4: SUPERNATURAL THREAT

"What are you?" His voice echoes throughout her ears, causing her to panic, "I can't tell you." Confusion spreads, causing tension to spread through the air.

A knock on the window breaks their silence, walking over to the window, Aliyah opens it.

"Dude, we've been blowing up your phone, what the hell?" Shannon pops her head through the window, before her body as a whole is in the room.

"Shannon hurry up, Maya is waiting on us." Kara calls out from outside the house. Rolling her eyes, Shannon scoffs, "Come on, Maya wanted to be a 'goody-two-shoes', in helping finding Allyson Kingston." Heading back out the window.

"Come on." Aliyah let's out, knowing this was a good way of getting out of the conversation before.

Walking through the woods, the four teenagers leaped through the darkness in silence.

"So, Landon, how's it feel being alive again?" Shannon says, while walking behind Kara and Aliyah.

"Besides being hungry, and having to use the bathroom, I think it's going well." Shannon laughs, "That'll get better..... Hopefully."

He chuckles before, continuing ahead with the others.

Soon they come to a halt, meeting up with Maya, "I'm glad you guys are here, I think I found something."

Pointing her bow at the leaves across from them, "Blood." Kara says, looking at Maya and Aliyah, they continue forward.

"Do you guys smell that?" Aliyah asks

"I'm sorry we don't have the same nose as you." Shannon says, sarcastically.

"Stop!" Aliyah yells, making the group tense, "No one move." Aliyah moves forward, while everyone else stayed still, "Maya, be ready to shoot." She says while moving closer to the trees in front of her.

Holding her hand out, a small flame comes out, enough that she can see. Walking behind the tree, Aliyah grows warry of the sight. "Guys." Taking one look at them, and they knew. Rushing over, they see the body. "Oh my gosh, It's Allyson." Kara let's out, while Maya covers her mouth.

"What ate her?" Shannan questions.

"A threat." Aliyah speaks up, as they all stand over the half eaten body.

"We should call her parents." Maya's sympathetic side takes over.

"And tell them what? Oh, yeah, your daughter was half eaten by a monster out in the woods, probably a supernatural." Shannon snaps, "Is that what you'd like to tell them?"

"Shannon, cool it. She was just trying to help." Kara leans in the argument.

"We just found a dead cheerleader, and you guys want me to chill?" Crossing her arms, Shannon grows angry.

"Just go sit in the car." Aliyah, says growing annoyed. "Take Landon with you." She says, while turning back to the body.

Sitting in between the misguided, Aliyah is distraught on what to do. "What are we going to do?" Maya says, as Aliyah finally comes to an agreement with herself.

"We do nothing."

"What?" Both Kara and Maya, let out the same distinct word.

"No one knows were here, and it's not like we know what happened to her. If someone finds her, just act shock, it's not that hard."

"Did you forget we found her body? What if patrol dogs smell our scents?" Kara says, in defense.

Snapping her fingers, the air around them turns into fog, "happy? No scents will pass through the fog and hail."

Turning her head, Kara ignores Aliyah, in her ignorance.

"We should go." Maya, cracks the icy air between them, leaving them in a car ride that'll be stuck in silence.

Aliyah, and the rest of them knew of a threat that was coming, and it wasn't human. What a way to have someone come back to the land of the living with.
