[[Setting::Inside Death| ]]
The town of Newark was a small town in Pennsylvania. Nothing really happens in this two-bit town. Nothing but Halloween. Halloween was a special time for Newark. Every year the town decorates Main Street and has special dances. The reason Halloween was celebrate so much in this town was because the town’s hero was born on Halloween. Chester Wallace was born in Newark and became a war hero in World War Two. He came back to Newark a hero. But he died three years later on his birthday. To this day Newark decide to celebrate Halloween like it was a national holiday. But the history of town was old news. It was this Halloween that was special.
The story starts on a regular October day. Everyone was getting ready for the Halloween festival. Everyone was excited. All but five teenage kids. This group of kids was known as the Five Flames in school. There neither nerds nor preps. They were outcasts at the very least. But they were very well known. The group was made up of Zack Brandon, Joe Walker, Dean Hall, Jessica Kent, and Lisa Sherman. Lisa was smart, small girl. Her curly, blond hair made her recognizable anywhere. She was usually the brains of the group. Jessica or she usually called Jess was the high-spirited of the group. Her flaming red hair matches her temper when ever she gets angry. But usually she is calm and happy. She is the most happiest of the group. Dean was one of those tough bully kinds of people. He was big, strong, and nothing to mess with. He usually wears black sunglasses that match his short black hair. He is the strongest of the group. Joe was one of those skinny Emo\Goth kids. He is really shy and rarely talks. A lot of people complain about his long hair. He had the top of it blue and the bottom black. He is the most emotional of the group. Zack was what the group had to a leader. He was tall commanding kind of person. No one argues with Zack. He is usually right on everyone. The only person who has more knowledge than Zack was Lisa. Zack was the bravest of the group. The Five Flames were a normal teenage group.
The Five Flames didn’t like to celebrate Halloween that much. Everyone in Pinewood High School was excited because of the school’s Halloween dance. But the group didn’t like to dance that much. So they were low spirited when Halloween came around. All except Jess. Jess knew the other four didn’t want to go so she usually was looking for a date when she wasn’t with them. They were sick of the Halloween spirit. Even the teachers were full of Halloween spirit. Well all the teachers except Mr. Lopez. Mr. Lopez was the school’s Spanish teacher. Being an immigrate from Mexico Mr. Lopez didn’t know anyone from Newark. However he spoke very well English and Spanish. Because of this he decides to teach Spanish at Pinewood High School. He was the only teacher who didn’t like Halloween. This made the group’s favorite teacher despite of his unfriendly personally. Only Dean hates him because he was failing Spanish.
Well one morning the group was walking to school. Fog was around the school and frost cover the school’s lawn. Students were already entering the school. Jess was her usual bouncy self as they enter the school’s front door. This always lightens Zack’s mood. He never told anyone that he really like Jess, the gang didn’t like love that much. Joe was right next to Zack’s and Dean’s lockers thinking about something. Joe usually comes to school earlier that the rest of the four. The gang meets up in front Zack’s locker right next to the Spanish room every day. They talk a lot until they have to get to class. Today was no exception.
“What is the date today?” Jess asks as the rest were talking about something else.
“October 15.” Lisa replied as she was getting books out of her locker. “Why?”
“Just thinking how long it is until Halloween.” Jess said and then she starts talking to Lisa about something different.
Then Zack notice Mr. Miller coming down the hall. Mr. Miller was the vice-principle of the school. He was tough, strict, and very intimidating. He was more intimidating than any vice-principle in the state. Which was good since Mrs. Green the school’s principle was a little old lady with a temper. Still no one was scare of Mrs. Green. But for some reason she and Mr. Miller dislike the Five Flames. They probably think they were nothing but an up to no good gang. Mr. Miller would love to give them detention for doing something he thinks they shouldn’t do. Except for Zack. Every teacher likes Zack. Today Mr. Miller was look for anyone to sign up for the Halloween Walk.
The Halloween Walk is where teachers and students from the high school were to help kids from the elementary school Trick or Treat. This was a publicity stunt from the superintendent to show how safe the school is. Mrs. Green was only too happy to agree to this. For the whole school year she was trying to get students and teachers to join. But the Halloween Dance and the teachers dislike to the job as cause a thinning in numbers. Mr. Miller had to go around and beg for students to join. He was walking pass them when Jess spoke to him.
“Hey Mr. Miller we will join.” Jess told him.
Mr. Miller turns to Jess in disbelief. He wasn’t the only one. “You will join what?” he asks.
“We will join the Halloween Walk.” Jess told him.
“Okay,” he said, still think this wasn’t true. The group reluctantly signs the sign-up sheet. Once they were done Mr. Miller look up at them “Show up here at 5:00 on Halloween.” he told them. “Costumes are mandatory.”
Once Mr. Miller was gone the group turns to Jess. But before any others could speak Zack ask the question.
“Why did you do that?” Zack ask in a kind but stern voice.
“Look at Mr. Lopez.” Jess said, pointing down the hall.
The group looks down the hall to see Mr. Lopez was at the end of the hall. He was looking out the window as rain began to come down. He looks very sad. Pain was all over his face and the group knew why. Two years ago when Mr. Lopez first came to Newark his fiancée Maria die from a sickness. Mr. Lopez who was new in town couldn’t find a doctor to save Maria. This must have been the day she has died. Jess got to group in Halloween Walk because Mr. Miller was about to ask Mr. Lopez for the Halloween Walk. This would have broken Mr. Lopez into tears. He and Maria wanted to have a child of their own.
The first bell ring and the group went to their first period class. Zack, Lisa, and Dean went to Spanish class as Jess and Joe went upstairs to their class. The day was slow as the group went through their class. Most of the group was still angry at Jess despite of her good efforts. Lisa was however thrilled that they have something to do on Halloween. When the group got back together on lunch the mood of having to go trick or treating when they were sixteen still linger. This didn’t break Jess’s happy mood.
“Oh come on it will be fun.” she said when the group’s sullen mood was notice.
“Yeah what is wrong with trick or treating?” Lisa asks the men, joining Jess’s side.
“It is boring.” Joe said.
“It is childish.” Dean piped up.
“Also I don’t think any store in Newark sells costumes our size.” Zack said calmly.
“But it will be fun.” Jess told them as the bell ring for them to go to the next class.
“Fine.” said Zack. “If you can find costumes our sizes then we will go trick or treating with the little kids.”
“Yay!” Jess said who became the happiest person in Newark. Lisa started to talk to Jess about the Halloween Walk and what should they wear. The parents were just as surprise as Mr. Miller when they told them about the Halloween Walk after school. For the rest of the week Jess was looking for a store that sells costumes for teenagers. It took awhile but she found a store in the downtown called The Raven’s Nest. It was a Gothic decorations store but it sells costumes too.
Five days before Halloween Jess told them she had found a store. The rest of the group decides to keep their bargain and go with her to the store. Dean was still unhappy that he had to dress up. After school the gang went downtown on their bikes to the store. It was a run-down store that was in the middle of rough part of town. The store was dark and dusty when they got in. It was definitely a gothic store. Around Halloween it was very crowded. Jess who had seen it in the newspaper knew this store would be the one to have costumes their sizes and she was right. They had costumes for babies to adults.
Joe was in love. He never saw so much black clothing. He immediately went to the costumes to find something he will like. Lisa who found this stuff creepy when to an area of the store that had less dark stuff. Zack and Jess went to the counter to see where they put the teenage stuff. Dean went sulky in the corner. The store was crowded so it took for Jess and Zack to find someone who works here. Then a tall, creepy guy came from the back went to Jess and Zack.
“May I help you?” He said a deep and creepy voice.
“Yes,” Jess said cheerfully. “We need costumes for teenagers. Do have a section for teenagers? Also we need something cheap. We don’t have a lot of money to spend on costumes. Do have any thing like that?”
“Yes I do.” the guy said. “I’m the owner of this store. My name is Daniel Rogers. My store and I have been here for a long time. This seems to be a busy season. I don’t know if I have anything left but feel free to look around.”
Joe was look at every costume there was in the store. He couldn’t choose what to buy. Then something that caught his eyes. He took it out of the rack and examines it closely. It was a bat costume. But not any bat costume. It was a horrific bat costume. The face looks real not like a rubber fake mask. The fur looks real, like it was fur of a giant bat. Blood was oozing from the mouth. It looks so real and scary Joe knew he found a perfect match. He took the costume and went to the counter.
Lisa was looking at a less horrible part of the store. But it was so dusty it was hard to get dust out of her blond hair. While she was brushing herself off she hit something on the shelf. She grabs the box and pulls it down. She saw it was a bunch of little kids’ costumes but one was her size. It was a dog costume. Lisa sigh, she could tell why this was unpopular. Who want to walk around in a dog costume? She looks at the picture. It was a Golden Retriever costume made for someone her size to wear. She picks it up and looks at it. Her friends will never let her down if she walks around in a dog costume for Halloween. But it was better than nothing. She grabs the costume and head to counter.
Dean was by the door wanting to get out. None of the costumes were good or cool. Dean wishes that his friends hurry up. Then he saw something that was on display. He looks at the costume. It was a knight. A knight in black armor with a deadly flail in his hands. It looks so real that Dean almost thought the knight was in real combat. The store owner saw him looking at the night and walk over.
“You like it?” he ask.
“Kind of.” Dean said, still mesmerized by the fierceness of the dark knight.
“I think I have you size.” Daniel said. He took out a box from below the display case.
Dean took the box and look at it. It was his size all right. He stood there thinking. Then Dean decided to buy it. No one will make fun of wearing a dark knight costume. It looks real. It looks deadly. Dead felt powerful. He will look indestructible in this costume. He can’t wait to try this on.
Meanwhile Jess was looking for any costumes for teenager’s girls. Most of them were princess and vampire mistress that didn’t appease Jess. She tries looking for something unique but it was hard to see in the dark aisles. Then she saw something on the top self. She climbs up to it and pull it down.
“What the hell?” Jess said to herself.
It was a cat costume. The fur on the cat was as red as her hair. She knew she look good in the costume. She grabs the box and jump down. This was the costume she wanted. Zack was down the ally with his costume in his hand waiting for Jess. His was a simple werewolf costume. The five kids got the costumes and left the store. Each was happy with their pick. They didn’t notice the Daniel was staring at them with a happy greedy look. Like someone who caught the biggest fish in the ocean.
Around 5:00 Halloween Zack was waiting in front of the high school with Jess. The others were on their way as Mr. Miller was gathering the little kids in the building. The day was cold and windy. Clouds were forming in the sky making it seem darker then it really was. Liz was running to them in her kid friendly dog costume. It was good since half of the kids were scare of Dean’s dark knight costume. Joe was the last one to come because he had to struggle to get his costume on. The group enters the gymnasium to hear Mr. Miller speak.
Meanwhile in a dark room something evil was going. Daniel was doing the ritual to bring his god to him. Little did he know that the spirit he worshiped was a demon named Chaos, his name was for the thing he loves. Daniel was his only servant and he was twisting his mind to get him to do what he wants. Chaos had made Daniel into a dark mage and was waiting for him when he was summoning him. Chaos arrive from the shadows, for he was nothing but shadows. The only part of Chaos that wasn’t cover by his black cloak was his pale head. He look at Daniel with great annoyance.
“Why did you summon me?” he roar at him. “You need to get ready for the ritual of change.”
“Sir.” Daniel said as he cowered. “He is nearby. I think we need to wait for the plan.”
“Wait?!?” Chaos scream. “I, Lord Chaos can not wait! You gave me your word of duty!”
“But if do the plan then Silverhit will know where we are.” Daniel said. “He will kill us. We need to wait for him to leave later tonight.”
Chaos thought about this for a moment. “At 10 o’clock.” He said briefly. “No later.”
“Thank you master.” Daniel said as he bow.
Zack was exhausted. Looking over little kids was hard. He had to make sure where they are, not wandering off, or try to kill each other. He was glad when trick-or-treating was over with. The gang was walking home when a black Impala race by. They saw Mr. Lopez was in it and with a determine look on his face. The group wonder where he was going. The rest of the group went home as Zack and Jess went down the street to their neighborhood. Zack couldn’t believe he was alone with Jess. This was a rare moment indeed.
“It seems like a nice night out.” Zack said, trying to make conversation.
“Yeah, What time is it?” Jess said, looking distracted.
Zack look at his watch. “9:30, why?”
“Just can’t believe Halloween is over.” Jess said.
“Yeah.” Zack said as he scratch his neck. He was going to take a shower once they got home.
“Hey Zack I got to get home soon. So bye.” Jess said quickly and she ran down the street. Zack stop and look down the street, watching Jess’s tail wag as she ran. Something was going on. For Zack felt that he needed to hide. Somewhere away from eyes. Other than that he felt his greatest moment was ruin.
Daniel was speaking in an unknown language. He drip his blood into a caldron as steam began to rise from it. A statue with a blue diamond in it was sitting on a altar. Daniel was doing the ritual as quickly as he can. Chaos was looking from behind the shadows. He was excited. He love to create chaos and mayhem. Little did the two of them know, Mr. Lopez was right behind them.
“Does it matter if they don’t have their costumes on?” Daniel said.
“No,” Chaos said as he circle the ritual. “They are cursed.”
Then Daniel said in a droning voice “The Diamond of Change, power of transformation will be use. Chaos the spirit of mayhem, will be used. My blood will combine the two. Those who have been selected will be turn. With the Statue I will put the curse on those who are chosen.”
He was about to throw the statue into the caldron when Mr. Lopez came behind him.
“Hello, Daniel.” he said. Daniel turn around, shock and stun . Mr. Lopez use the moment to deck Daniel in the face and took the statue from his hands. Daniel fell to the floor, looking up at Mr. Lopez. Chaos being a low power demon couldn’t do nothing but shout. Mr. Lopez look at the statue.
“This is the statue I gave you.” he said. “You were planning to use it aren’t you?”
“Yes Chris.” Daniel said. “But I gave you what you want. We made a trade! My master needs that to wreck disorder on the town. We need that for him to become power. Chaos will own this town. By the day after tomorrow he will live like a king.”
“You were planning to curse innocent people?” Mr. Lopez said whose first name was Chris. “You were using people as pawns? Who are they?!?! I won’t let you use them for your master plan.
“My plan?” Daniel said as he got up. “It is my master. He needs chaos to survive. He created this plan to stop his death. He is a king on the chessboard. I am his knight and The Five Flames and others are pawns. We move first. This is the vital part of the plan. We need to stop the enemy.”
“Silverhit is here.” Mr. Lopez said. “Your plan is over. Chaos is dead. Checkmate before the game begun. Give it up Daniel. You master is dead.”
“Silverhit isn’t the queen.” Daniel said and then he rush at Mr. Lopez. He grab his throat and punch his face repeatedly. Mr. Lopez try to block but it Daniel knock his arm away. The statue fell to the floor. “You know what the threat is?” Daniel said as he push Mr. Lopez to the wall. “Other spirits. Chaos doesn’t fear the human or his witch friend. We just use repeating the pattern of our other enemy. Only he can’t release his army without getting killed.”
Then Mr. Lopez knee Daniel in the gut. He shove Daniel to the ground and kick him in the face. He was about to strike again but something from behind. It was a Shadow creature. Mr. Lopez try to fight it off put it pin him to the ground. Daniel got up as the Shadow creature kept Mr. Lopez on the ground. He grab the statue, holding it high in the ground.
“Showtime.” he said and threw it into the caldron. That is when all hell broke loose.
Jess took her costume off as soon as she got home. It was hot and stiff so she decide to take a quick shower. After her shower she put on her nightgown and went to bed. Tomorrow was Friday and then she will have the weekend. She look at the cloak and saw it was about 10. She lay down and almost when to sleep. However it wasn’t long when she woke up again. She felt very hot and sweaty. She got up and when to the window to open it. Jess felt better but now she was itchy. She scratch at her hand, hoping that will ease the suffering. But it didn’t. It made itch worse. She look down at her hand.
“What the-?” She saw something growing on his hands. She look closely at her hand and saw it was red fur. Jess was shock beyond reach. The fur continued to grow and spread around her arms. She felt her hand shift and form into paw. Her feet began to change into paws too. Jess felt her face tighten. The fur spread throughout her body. Her ears shift to the top of her head. Jess’s mouth and noise push forward in front of her face. Fur covered her entire body. She step away from the window. What happen to her? As she went to the bathroom she felt her spine move. She felt a small lump at her back. She look and saw it was a tail. The tail began to grow to about four feet.
“What happen to me?” Jess said as she sat on her bedroom floor.
Jess look at the mirror. She look like her costume. Her whole body was cover in fur that was as red as her hair. Her hands and feet were paw-like and her face was like a cat’s. But she still had the same height and human proportion. She felt more athletic. Jess didn’t know what to do. She was a anthropomorphic cat or a catgirl. How can she see or tell the others? But her body felt like she need to go outside. Jess grab some clothes, put them on, and silently went out the window.
Joe look at the night sky. It was cold but he wasn’t bother by it. He was counting the stars when he felt strange. Joe didn’t felt sick even though he was on his roof and it was freezing. He jump of the roof and landed on his balcony. That was when he really felt sick. His stomach felt like it was being squeeze very hard. He felt is face push together. His ears shift to the top of his head. The force of his pain sent Joe to the floor. He feel his body being squeeze from all around. His skin was felt like it was being burn as fur began to grow. Joe’s skin was very itchy.
Joe try to stand up. But his legs won’t work right. He fell down on his face as he try to walk. Joe look around and realize that the rooms were larger. Or he was much smaller. Joe’s face felt very tight. His arm’s were twisting and snapping as they shift. His fingers stretch and spread out. He crawl to the mirror near his dresser. His sight was a bit blurring so he had to squint to see his reflection. Joe was shock to see what was in the mirror.
A bat human hybrid person. Joe stood about four feet. His face was a mixture of a bat’s and human’s. His entire body was cover in brown fur. His arms and hands were bat wings. His legs were twisted. He couldn’t walk well with these legs. Joe walk to his bed, trying to make sense of this. Even though his light was out and his room was dark, Joe knew where stuff was by echolocation. He sat on his bed to think. He look like his costume despite that it was in his closet. Joe walk (or waddle) to his closet. His costume was gone. Joe knew what he had to do, find the others. Joe look at his wings, went to the window and jump out.
Lisa put her costume in her dresser. She was going to return it tomorrow. The costume was stupid and everyone was laughing at her. Why did she bought it? She turn off the light to her room and went downstairs. Her parents were already asleep so the whole downstairs was empty. Lisa usually goes to bed at 10 but she want to check if her house wasn’t egged.
The night was cold but it felt good since Lisa was hot in the house. She walk down to her garden she and her mom made. Lisa sat down on the ground . The night was strangely beautiful even though it was cold out. Lisa got up and went back to her house when pain hit her in the stomach. The pain was brief and went away quickly as it came. Lisa look around her uncertainty. What was that? But she couldn’t think because at that moment her skin began to itch like hell.
Lisa look down at her arm. Golden hair was beginning to grow on her body. Lisa panicked as she ran to the door of her house. She trip over the steps to the porch and landed on her stomach. She couldn’t get up. Lisa realize her body was shirking. She crawled to the door try to get inside to find help. Her hand was shrinking and began to thicken. Lisa try to get the door open. But her paws won’t work. Lisa try to stood up but her leg began to shift and she landed on her forelegs. Her face began to hurt. It began to stretch. Her snout was growing as her teeth began to get sharp. Her nose turn black and cold. Lisa’s vision blur. The she felt her spine extend as it turn into a tail. Lisa turn her head to see that her body was cover in golden hair. She was a dog.
Lisa didn’t know what to do. How could she turn into a dog? But Lisa knew the answer as she as she ask the question, Daniel. His store must of cursed them and turn their costumes. She had to find the others. She bet they turn too. Lisa shook off her clothes and walk off the porch. It was hard at first to walk on all fours but she got the hang of it. Lisa walk down the street and towards where she think her friends were at.
Meanwhile Zack was riding down the street on his bike towards Jess’s house. She didn’t return any calls when he got home. Something was happening to them. He try the others but no pick up the phone. He look at his watch and saw it was 10:07. Zack pump harder as he turn left. Wind began to pick up. Clouds move across the sky. Suddenly the street was covered in moon light.
Zack began to felt hot. It was getting harder to ride his bike. Then Zack began to get sick. He got dizzy and swerve to someone’s lawn. Zack fell off the bike. He landed hard on the grass. His skin was beginning to get itchy and hot. The night breeze felt good but it didn’t stop the pain the his Zack. He felt his bones shift into different shapes. Gray fur burst out of his skin. Zack try to stand but the force off his pain cause him to fall back to the ground. Zack felt claws come out of his fingers and toes. His face tighten as a snout burst of it. Zack felt his ears move to the top of his head. Then the transformation stop.
Zack look at his body. He was a werewolf. He knew he look like his costume. Zack sniff the air as he look at the sky. The clouds were gathering. He knew it was going to rain. But something else was in the air. Zack sniff the air and realize (or his wolf side realize) what it was, panic. It wasn’t just him or his friends that transform, everyone who bought from Daniel transform. Zack ran to town as fast as he could. He was in front of the high school within five minutes. Zack stop as he sense other people coming to him. Zack turn and saw his friends.
Joe was flying from the sky. His bat form look scary and deadly. He landed next to Zack. Jess ran to them with extreme grace. She look like a cat girl. She was as fast as anyone has seen. She went to them, panting. Then they heard something coming to them. Zack look and saw a golden retriever walking to the group. It was Lisa. Rain began to fall as lighting cross the sky. Thunder echo through out the town. But Zack could hear screams from around them. The town was going to be in chaos. They need to act now. But-
“Where is Dean?” Zack said in a voice the was somewhat normal.
“I don’t know.” Jess said in a normal voice. She look around her. She hated rain.
“Wait!” Lisa said in a voice that Zack could barely understand. “I smell something.”
Zack smell it too. He turn around and saw a shadowy figure in the street. It was walking closer to them. Lightning lit the sky and Zack briefly saw it was a dark knight. Dean had transform into something no one could handle. Zack turn to the group looking for help but they were shock too. Maybe Dean has control. Maybe they could reason. But that thought left Zack’s head when an arrow flew past them. Zack turn around and saw Dean with a bow and arrows. Peace was not an option. Then Dean put away his bow and pull out a flail from his belt. How many weapon does he have? Zack thought. He step back as Dean came closer. Both of them was staring at each other.
“Run!” Zack said and the group ran as Dean chase them with his weapon.
Joe left into the air. He was going to fly out. He didn’t see Dean weapon coming at him. Before Zack could warn him the flail hit Joe in the back. Joe tumble down to the ground. Zack jump up caught him in midair. Zack look down and saw that both of them were heading to the glass doors of the school. Zack heard a giant crash as he and Joe broke through the school’s doors. Joe skid down the hall as Zack felt his body hit the floor. Zack turn around ready to attack. Dean came closer, swinging the flail above his head. But before Zack could attack Jess and Lisa jump at Dean and attack. Jess had a giant stick in her hand as she began to smash at Dean’s helmet. Lisa was trying to bite into Dean’s neck. But it didn’t take Dean down.
“Stop, Dean it is us.” Zack said in a commanding unafraid voice.
Dean grab Lisa threw her to the lawn of the school. Dean began to step to the school’s doors. He was only ten feet away from Zack. The only thing that stood between them was Jess. Lighting flash as Jess face Dean. Zack knew he couldn’t stop her from attacking. A moment of distraction and the will die. Jess ran to Dean with her stick high in the air. But before it could be brought down on Dean it was block by his sword. The sword broke the stick and left Jess defenseless. Jess was backing away from the enemy. She back into the school’s entrance. Zack try open the doors but they were locked. Dean raise his sword while he was swinging his flail. He was going to kill.
“You shall die.” said the knight that wasn’t in Dean’s voice.
But before Dean could strike Lisa came out of nowhere and bit Dean’s leg. This stagger him. Dean’s flail swung and hit the door next to Jess. The glass broke and left a good hole for Jess to walk inside. Jess took the opportunity and went inside the school. Zack hug her as if he never seen her in fifty years. Lisa ran through the hole of the school. Zack and Jess step back as Dean came to the doors. Rain fell from the hole above the glass doors that Zack and Joe made. Zack stood in the rain as he watch Dean come to the door. This is his final stand. Jess and Lisa grab Joe and walk away from the door. Then Dean burst through the doors. He swung his swords and flail at Zack but they were inches away from him. Dean was about to strike when Zack leap at him. Zack’s jaw lunge at his throat. Zack bit hard and he heard scream. Dean scream.
“Don’t kill me.” Dean said in his voice.
Zack leap off him as Dean fell to his knees. He didn’t taste blood. The knight look shock. Dean was in there but the dark knight wanted to control him. Zack look at the group behind him. Jess and Lisa had Joe on their shoulder. They were looking at Zack shock. Zack turn to Dean who was fighting his knight instincts. Zack almost killed his friend. He could have destroy him. Zack felt his wolf side saying to kill him now. Zack fought his wolf instinct and walk to his left. Jess and Lisa did the same. They went down the hallway to the office where they could heal Joe.
Suddenly something crash into Zack’s body. He hit the wall. Zack turn and saw that Dean was taken over again. Lisa and Jess ran as Dean swing his flail around. Zack jump back as Dean came closer. Then a giant crash echo through out the school as a black Chevrolet Impala burst through the doors and crash into Dean. Zack saw Mr. Lopez jump out of the car. He had a shotgun in his hand and was going to the entrance. Zack was surprise that he wasn’t concern about his car which look was from 1960’s and it could explode. Zack look at the wreckage for Dean. He found him in the hole of the wall Mr. Lopez’s car made. Dean got up, looking dazed.
“Are you all right?” Zack said as he walk to Dean
“Yes.” Dean replied in his normal voice. “The crash just got me control of my body.”
They both went to the office and to see if Jess and Lisa was all right. Both of them were shocked that Dean was all right and wasn’t killing them. Joe woke up, looking all right. The Five Flames were all right even thought they were transform. But Zack knew something was going on. Zack look outside and saw monsters attacking the town. Everyone who transform was attacking the town. Chaos was everywhere. Zack hear movement and saw Mr. Lopez coming in the office with a shotgun still in his hands. He turn and saw the Five Flames turn to look at him.
“I know who you are.” he said peacefully. “I also know what is going on. If we can survive until November 2nd then we might have a chance to change you back. I protect the school so no spirits could come in. We need to stop them from coming in.”
“How can you stop them.?” Jess said.
But before Mr. Lopez could speak a giant hand came threw the door and grab Mr. Lopez by the neck. It threw him across the office. The door of the office burst open and a monster the look like Frankenstein’s monster came in. Followed by the monster was Daniel. Daniel look around to see who was hiding in here. Lisa growled as Jess watch Daniel carefully. Zack and Dean stood on either side of the monster that protect Daniel.
“Well, why aren’t you causing chaos?” Daniel said. “My master expects everyone to cause chaos. Like Frank here.”
“You did this.” Jess said. It wasn’t a question, it was a statement.
“Why of course.” Daniel said as he look at Mr. Lopez’s unconscious body. “It was the only way to serve my master. Without him I’m useless.”
Dean whisper to Zack. “Attack him when I’ll attack Frank.”
Zack nodded.
“Lord Chaos had fear someone.” Daniel said. “An evil spirit called Dalzen. But not anymore. This place is his kingdom and I will do everything to help him. It is time to spread the world and the word is panic.”
“Now!” Dean said. He jump at Frank.
Zack rush at Daniel as Dean and Frank attack each other. Daniel ran out of the office and into the hallway. Zack was close behind. Daniel ran up the stairs to the third floor. Zack rush up the stairs. Daniel was long gone when Zack got to the third floor. But he smell his panic and kick a door open. Daniel was in the library. Zack began to search for him. He could smell Daniel sweating. But where was he? Then a fireball came at him. Zack turn to see Daniel with a make shift flamethrower and a knife. He was going to attack again but Zack grab his hand and threw him at the windows. The windows crack as Daniel fell from them. Zack lunge at him but then the whole library was in flames. Zack step back as he heard explosion rip through the school. The sprinklers turn on and soon water was spraying everywhere. Zack saw Daniel broke the window. He was going to jump out.
“It is too late.” he scream. “ My master will catch me. I will survive. But you won‘t Zack.”
Then the door burst open as Mr. Lopez came out of it. He fired his gun at Daniel. Daniel jump back into the open window. Daniel grab the ledge and pull himself up. But Zack and Mr. Lopez surround him. They were going to kill him. Daniel laugh over the howling wind. Mr. Lopez aim his gun but Daniel jump off the school and on to a flagpole. Mr. Lopez try to aim but the wind was interfering. Daniel began to climb the flagpole. He look back at the two enemies.
“You have also serve my Master, Chris.” he yelled. “When he gave you what you want it will also help him. A chess piece will move again at midnight. I may be a pawn but soon I will be a queen.”
Then a blinding flash and rumbling noise in the air. Zack saw Daniel fall down like a rain drop. He didn’t hear a smash as his body hit the ground. Lightning lit the sky as Zack walk away from the window. Zack look at the library cloak. It was one minute to midnight. Zack turn to Mr. Lopez
“What does he mean a chess piece will move at midnight?” Zack ask.
“Tomorrow is Día de la Muerto.” Mr. Lopez said quietly. “Day of the Dead.”
And at that moment the cloak turn to midnight.
