The next day.....
"So we agree we're going after school right?" Sally said
"Yeah, let's just hope Michael doesn't go there without us" Cal' said
Ring...
Cal's phone rang at that moment
"Hello..." He said as he answered the call
"What's up? I'm waiting for you guys, hurry up" Michael's voice came out
"You're waiting? Seriously?"
"Well I don't have a choice, Dad locked me in" He said the last part in a whisper
"Oh... That's why, we're almost done today though. We'll be there in about an hour, think you can wait that long?"
"Yeah, no problem. Hurry up and come bust me out"
"You make it sound like you're in jail"
"I'm practically in one. Just hurry up okay?"
"Yeah, I got it, see you soon" Cal' said and ended the call
"He's getting impatient, isn't he?" Sally asked
"Yup, let's just finish class" With that they all went back to their respective classes
....
Later that day.....
"Hey, Michael" Sally said through the window
"Oh, thank God, you're here. I was starting to lose my mind. Hurry up open the door" Michael said
"Umm... About that, how do I break you out of this?" Cal' asked
"Are you freaking serious right now? You have a spare key, you dumbass"
"Oh, that's at home"
"What?"
"Just hang on, I'll go get it"
"Oh my God, what is my life?" Michael sighed as he slid down the door
A Couple hours later...
"We're here"
"Jesus Christ, what took you guys so long?"
"Cal' lost it, so we had to search for it, so exhausted" Sally said
"Finally out of the house. Come on, we need to hurry it's getting late" Michael said running out the house, the others trailing after him.
A few minutes later...
"Okay, wooh... that took a lot out of me" Michael said trying to catch his breath
"I swear to God, I'm never doing that again, Jesus" Cal' said collapsing in front of Michael
"Don't be dramatic. Get up, let's go"
And with that they resumed their journey in the woods
"There's nothing here."
"There has to be something, I mean, we all saw that last night right?" Michael said searching around
"It was here, I memorized the place"
"How can you memorize a place you've never been before?" Cal' asked
"I used my eyes, dumbass"
"Let's just keep going, maybe we'll find something a little further away" Sally said already walking "I just wanna get back home and sleep, okay, let's get this over with"
"Hey, look over there" Gwen said pointing at something "I think we found it"
"What the hell is that?"
"It looks like that portal thing we found last time"
"Yeah, this one's got a body though" Michael said
Silence...
"A body, as in a frame. Get your head out of the gutter"
"Right, ha that shocked me"
"There's something written on it, SELVI. What does that mean?"
"It's misspelled" Michael said standing in front of it
"What?"
"It's spelled IVELS, it's an archaic way of saying evil"
"How do you know that?" Cal' asked
"How do you not?"
"So it's backwards?" Sally asked
"Both backwards and misspelled"
"There's something else written on it... VACIO."
"That one means void. Don't ask"
"Hey umm..." Gwen said "There's a girl here"
"A what?"
"A girl"
"A girl girl, or..." Cal' asked
"What other kind of 'girl' is there?" Sally asked
"But there's something weird though"
...
"Which is? girl you can't just say that and not complete it"
"Umm sorry, I just thought you guys would be here by now. I literally just said there's a girl here, and you guys are still over there sitting on your ass"
"..."
"Woah girl, chill. Sorry, we're coming"
"Gwen, are you okay?" Michael asked
"Yeah, I'm fine, my emotions are just all over the place today"
"Is that a circle of burnt grass?"
"Yup"
"Does that mean she was surrounded by fire?"
"Quick, check if she's breathing"
"She is"
"Let's take her to your house'' Cal' said
''Why my house?'' Michael asked
''Because it's closer than mine'' he answered in a matter-of-fact tone
''Oh right'' Michael said picking her up ''Well… let's get going then'' he said as he saw no one moving.
''Right'' they said and followed after him.
...
''Dad, where are you?'' Michael said as he took the girl upstairs
''What is it?'' Jacob asked as he came out of his room only to find three kids in his house
''We need you to call my mom and tell her to come over with the first aid kit'' Cal' said running up the stairs with the others
''Okay…'' Jacob said watching them leave
''Hi, Michelle… yeah, the kids are here and they need you to come over with the first aid kit… yeah they're fine… I don't know, just come over'' Jacob said and hung up.
''Kids, is everything okay up there?'' Jacob asked
''Noo…'' they all answered at once
''The hell… what do they mean by that?'' he muttered to himself.
RING RING
''You got here fast'' Jacob said opening the door for Michelle
''Of course… where are they?'' she asked
''Upstairs'' he replied and they both went up the stairs.
IN Michael's ROOM…
After laying the girl on his bed, Michael didn't know what to do from then on but, there was something different about her, he just didn't know what.
''Something's off… I don't know what though'' He said
''What is it?'' Sally asked
''Like I said, I don't know yet'' he replied
''What happened and who is that?'' Michelle said as she barged into the room.
''Explain'' Jacob said as he also got to the room.
''So… we were walking back home from the hospital when we saw a huge gigantic man made out of fog then he immediately disappeared so we went to check it out… we got there and we found a rock with the word Selvi written on it and beside the rock was well her'' Cal' explained
''So in summary… you guys found her after running to and not from the unknown like I said before, correct?'' Michelle asked
''Look at it this way… if we hadn't gone there, we wouldn't have found her and no one would ever know that she was there and the poor girl would have died without anyone knowing, so we saved her life by putting ours in danger which makes us heroes'' Michael said with confidence
''That last part was definitely not needed but, you do make a good argument, I'll let you off this time'' Michelle said as she proceeded to check on the unconscious girl. A few minutes later, ''She's completely fine except for her high temperature, she'll probably wake up soon'' Michelle said
CLAP
''I finally figured out what is off about her'' Michael said with a look of realization ''It's her temperature'' he said
''Explain?"
"Well, if she's really been out there since last night, shouldn't she be hypothermic by now? Instead she's burning up."
"You're right, maybe she wasn't there last night?"
''I don't know, but I guess we'll find out when she wakes up'' he said and they all were about to leave the room when she suddenly woke up.
''Who are you? Where am i?'' she asked
''Hi, don't panic… My name is Michael and these are Cal', Sally, Gwen, Michelle and my dad Jacob, you're currently in my house and we will not harm you, now what is your name?'' Michael said slowly so not to scare her.
''I… I can't remember… I can't remember anything'' she said and they all stared at each other.
