It was five in the evening when kaity got back home. She had spent all day getting her hair and nails done that she almost lost track of time. Rushing upstairs she glimpsed her mom laying out plates on the table.
Kaity thought to stop and ask why there were so many plates when it was only three of them that resided in the house, but decided not to instead.

She hurried upstairs to her room when she heard her phone ringing.

"Hello," she answered while brushing her long golden hair behind her ears.

" Hey babe we'll be coming by shortly to get you so, get dress. Love you babe," he spoke before abruptly ending the call.

Kaity's pov

I sigh in annoyance before quickly rushing to the shower and taking a fast bath, I then came out and dried my skin before reaching for my bra and underwear that was lying on the bed in front of me. I then proceeded to get dress. Putting on my dress, it was a long silver dress that swept the floor and my silver high heels that made me feel tall and bold. I then went in front of the mirror and began putting on my makeup when I heard my mom calling me.

I stood up before answering her annoying calls. " I'll be down in a few mom." I told her before hastily putting on my foundation.
I then took up my silver purse and made my way down stairs. As I approached the living room I saw my mom and Eric both waiting. Eric was dressed in a black and white tuxedo and a black shoe, his hair was combed backwards and you could see the efforts made to make it look so shiny. He stared at me with his baby blue eyes as I walked towards them, my dress dragging behind me.

Mom gasp as she walked towards me holding a camera in her hand. She then ushered Eric to move a bit closer to me before taking several pictures. I really felt special as Eric held my hand and mom took pictures. Everything was suddenly interrupted by a sharp knock on the front door.

"That must be her," mom said smiling as she excitingly walk over and opened the door. I then heard a familiar voice and saw a familiar face. " How are you?" The person asked walking over and hugging me.

It was Lyla's mother, she had traveled over 300 miles just to come and see me off and that made me feel so good. She hugged me and then brush my hair backwards. " You look beautiful and Lyla would have loved to see you," she spoke making tears fill my eyes.
I smiled before thanking her. Looking at her I could tell that she was having a hard time. Her cheeks had lost weight, her hands looked like that of a skeleton and don't get me started on her legs. She looked as if she had cancer because even the hair on her head were falling off and I could tell that she hadn't slept in days due to the bags hanging under her eyes.

Looking up I could see mom ushering towards me, telling me to hurry because it was already 6 o clock and we were going to be late. Eric then held my hand and we walked towards the door, just then I was suddenly pulled back by miss Martha, Lyla's mother. She looked deep into my eyes and said that Lyla was there with us and that she kept haunting her dreams. She even went as far as to tell me to not go to the prom because I would end up regretting it.
Before she could finish I felt my mom pulling her away from me and telling me hurry and go.

Eric looked down at me before pulling me out of the house. He then kissed my right cheek as we both stood on the porch. " You look amazing baby, try not to let what she said ruin our night." He spoke before holding my left hand and escorting me to the car. We both drove to the school where our friends were waiting.

Talia, Mick, Lois, Sally, Gavin and Ricky all walked towards us. " You all look incredible," Sally shouted with a goofy smirk on her face. Talia then push past Gavin and held Ricky by the hand. "Let's go inside," she said before pulling him away. We all walked inside where the different colors of disco lights could be seen, people walking and dancing around looking all fancy and loud music illuminating our ears.

Everything was going great until the music suddenly went silent and then a loud thud could be heard coming from the stage. Thunder could also be heard coming from outside as the rooms temperature suddenly dropped. A girls voice could soon be heard echoing over the microphone, it sounded so familiar yet distant.

Looking up on stage I witnessed a girl standing there, her head held backwards and her face covered with bruises she held a knife in her hands and she wore a dress that was stained in blood, her skin was as pale as a piece of worn out clothe and her hair was wet and hanged down her back.

I began to cry as I soon recognized who the person was. "Lyla."I shouted causing her to look at me. Her eyes dripping blood. Smiling I began walking towards her when there was a suddenly burst of lightning causing the ground to shake making everyone fall. The lights then went off and I could hear the screams of everyone around me and feel the fear they felt.
I could do nothing but try and feel my way around in the darkness trying to find my friends. When my hands touched something warm on the floor and felt something role into my hands. I picked it up when suddenly the lights came back on. I then looked down into my hands and the sigh in front of me made my little heart stop.
