Chapter 4 - True Colors

At night in some unknown forest

Man: *pant* *pant* Help! somebody help me! 

the man look around the area frantically with a look of horror in his face as he runs away helplessly while holding his bleeding left arm

Man: Help! somebody! please save me!

the man desperately shout for help but no one came until he hear some footsteps behind him and with that he hurriedly hid behind a tall tree and hold his mouth to avoid being spotted

??: Where are you dear~?

The pursuer walk around calmly with a smile on its face

??: Will you come out for me~? Me and your friends are worried about you, why don't you come out and join the fun darling~? I'll make sure to not bite that hard~ *lick lips playfully while giggling*

While the pursuer walk around the area and seems to be having fun the injured man breathe heavily behind the large tree wishing that he wouldn't be found by the creature who singlehandedly killed all of his friends and even injured him as he escapes.

The man took a glance at the perpetrator with the appearance of a beautiful woman with some blood over her hands, lips and all over her body.

??: Come now dear~ I'll make sure to treat you properly so no need to be scared, you're safe in my open arms~ 

The woman said enticingly while her eyes glow and glimmer sinisterly while she's smiling the same way and looking at the man's direction which made the guy flinch and looks away as he continue to hide.

After some time the man look at the place where the woman was at a few moments ago and was shocked that she was no longer there, then he felt like someone was behind him as he fearfully look behind but was met by no one that he cannot help but sigh in relief.

Unbeknownst to him the woman was looking at him from behind all along with a sinister smile on her face before a loud scream can be heard deep in the forest under the bright light of a full moon

Morning came in the same forest where the incident happen, a bunch of cops are now investigating the case.

Police Detective: It seems like it's the same case as the people with there stomach being gouge by someone or something but what's their purpose?

The cop seems to be in a deep thought before someone interrupt his train of thought

Police Officer: Sir *greets him formally* 

Police Detective: *greets him the same then let the person proceed with the report*

Police Officer: Sir, this is the autopsy documents of the victims and just as you were thinking it's the same case as the stomach disappearance case but we never got a lead, until now that is.

The man gave the autopsy report to his superior as the superior officer look at the document and by far he hadn't seen anything unusual until he sees the report of the gruesome bite mark on the left arm that took a chunk of flesh in one of the four victims which seems to belong to a human

Police Detective: Any report on who this bite marks belong to?

Police Officer: They said they're working on it at the moment

Police Detective: We need to know who's responsible for this incident fast or many more lives will suffer the same fate as the lining bodies as these people.

Police Officer: Yeah, if only there's a way to end this tragedy, I can only imagine the tragic fate of the next victim of our culprit.

Back at New Field High

Kyle: I still can't believe you got so lucky and win something in that claw machine Eth

Ethan: Well what can I say, I'm just good at everything I do~

Veins started to pop out of Kyle's head

Kyle: Yeah right, no wonder it took us an hour and a half for you to get a single prize, seems like you're not doing as good as you think you are~

Ethan shrugs

Ethan: You're just jealous cause you can't even win something yourself not to mention being maidenless as well~ hohoho~

Ethan laughed mockingly at Kyle which only agitated our protagonist even more as both of them started doing a cat and mouse chase once again

Stacy: Why are they always like this?

Jake: Beats me, that's probably how best friends treat each other

Stacy: *sigh* Well I guess that's just how they are *smiles warmly* I hope things like this would never change

Jake: Agreed *nods in agreement*

In the distance a girl is watching them while sipping her boba tea

Crystal: Hmm... The aura detector is sensing two individuals that's within it's vicinity, it's acting towards a person named Kyle Jacobs and Stacy Rose, although I can't feel any aura being released in Kyle maybe because it's still dormant and waiting to be unleashed I can tell he is part of the awakened individuals due to Uncle's technology but Stacy Rose however is another story, I just can't put my finger on it but I can tell she's bad news especially the aura I'm feeling within her.

Crystal continues to observes them for a while as Kyle notices her presence and look at her direction which only followed with her leaving

Kyle: Huh? I wonder if she need something?

Ethan: *puts arm over Kyle's shoulder* So~ are you coming or what?

Kyle: Sorry I wasn't listening, where are we going again?

Kyle and the others arrived at Stacy's house

Stacy: Come *gestures to come inside* make yourself at home

Ethan: Don't mind me then *comes inside and sat down on the couch*

Jake: *looks around* your house looks so clean and things are really tidy, you must be a really neat person huh?

Stacy: I wouldn't say that I just want to keep things neat and clean *looks at Kyle* What's wrong Kyle? Not coming in?

Kyle: *faces her* just a moment *looks back at the nearby forest* I just felt like someone is watching me *says quietly*

Stacy: *leans closer to Kyle* You said something?

Kyle: *backs away feeling flustered because of Stacy's closeness* N-no it's nothing *laughs awkwardly while rubbing the back of his head*

Ethan/Jake: Real smooth Kyle

Stacy: Is that so? Well why don't you come inside so we can start our group study?

Kyle: Yeah, sorry about that

Kyle entered the house and as Stacy is about to close the door she look at the forest and can't help but show a slight smirk before closing the door, unbeknownst to them a certain someone is watching them

Crystal: I knew there's something wrong about that girl when I saw her aura, that Stacy Rose is bad news, Kyle Jacobs and his friends are in danger

As the night draws near, the boys are oblivious to the impending doom that is approaching them.

Stacy walk over to them with an innocent smile on her face as they prepared for the group study which she can't help but lick her lips playfully, thinking of what's to come for the night.
