"What?!!!"they all exclaimed starring at Crystal with wide eyes.
"Shhh, keep your voices down"Crystal muttered shushing them
"Wait,how come?, where?"Claudia asked
"She just said in the forest"Melina replied to Claudia
"What was he doing there?"Delilah asked
"He's the reason why no one ever crosses the forest without being shot"Crystal replied
"Because he's always there to take them down"Claudia muttered
"Exactly. I was really surprised"
"But how come you won?"Delilah asked
"I...shot him"
"What?,how?"Melina asked in shock
"He was blabbing too much. But it could be either a lucky shot or-"
"I let you off on purpose"
"AHHHHH!!!"They all screamed as Mystery suddenly popped up behind them now wearing his facemask and hat.
"When did you get here?"Delilah asked frightened
"You let me off on purpose?"Crystal asked with a raised brow.
"Blue lagoon, midnight, don't be late"he said and then walked away like he did not just scare the sh*t out of them
"You're not thinking of going right?"Delilah asked turning to Crystal
"Crystal?"Claudia called out noticing her expression
"She's thinking it"Melina replied folding her arms
"U can't be serious?"Claudia asked
"I need answers, I'm desperate ok"Crystal replied and ran off to her dorm.
"Should we stop her?"Delilah asked
"I vote chaining her up"Melina said
"We are not doing that, just let her go, she'll figure things out on her own"Claudia replied and sighed.

Crystal ran towards the girls dorm but bumped into someone and they both tumbled and fell.
"Sorry,my bad"she apologized standing up
"No biggie"the guy replied. He was a beast and Crystal knew the kind
"You're a dragon beast"she said with excitement in her voice
"Wow,u could tell,most people think I'm a red snake or some lizard"the guy replied
"That's rude, I'm Crystal, Crystal Davis,u?"
"Xander,Xander Jackson"the guy replied
"Ok,see you around Xander"Crystal said and continued running off not aware of the black smoke on a tree with a pair of glowing red eyes watching their interaction.

Crystal finally got to her room, grabbed her things and went to the bath house.
When she was done,she waited in the room on her bed for midnight to come,she got tired and slept off.
Crystal woke up with a yawn and checked the time,it was fifteen minutes to one in the morning.
"Oh no, I'm late"she whisperdly yelled and scrambled out of bed and headed out quietly with waking or alerting anyone till she got to the blue lagoon in the school.
"Hello, anyone here?"she called out in a low voice searching for him
"You're late"
She yelped and turned around to see him sitting on the tree by the lake with his hat,his mask hanging on one side of his face.
"I'm sorry, I overslept while waiting"she replied and he jumped down and turned around to face her.
"Tardiness will not be tolerated"
She got pissed
"I already said I was sorry, I didn't mean to- mph~"
Her sentence was cut short when she tripped on the tree's root and fell on Mystery and her eyes opened wide when she felt their lips touch.
The butt!!
Mystery quickly pushed her off and wipped his lips with the back of his sleeves.
"Are you insane?!!"he yelled
Crystal couldn't care about the yelling,she was in her own world of thoughts.
Her first kiss?,no it was an accidental kiss,not meant to happen, right?
"Miss Davis!"Mystery snapped bringing her back to reality.
"That was unexpected but that's not why we're here,is it now?. You said you wanted answers?"he asked
"Yes I do, I just want to fit in since I'm not welcomed in my home town"
"If I recall correctly which I always do, u joined yesterday"
"What's wrong in that?, the earlier, the better"Crystal replied
"So what do you want to know first?"
"What am I?"
"Well. That's easy, you're a...."
