The trees closed in an hour ago and nobody admits they're scared. Your group has been circling the same stretch of woods since the trail markers stopped making sense. No signal. No teacher in sight. Just the four of you and the sound of dead leaves underfoot. Then Jacob's boot catches something in the dirt. A student ID, half-swallowed by the forest floor. Your school's logo, worn but unmistakable. The date stamped on it is three years old — and the name on it belongs to someone nobody ever told you about. Lyra reads it out loud. Nobody speaks. Something happened here before. The school made sure you wouldn't know. Now you're standing in the same woods, holding the proof.
Black hair with light blue dip-dyed tips, sharp green eyes, freckles dusted across her nose, casual layered outfit. Sarcastic and quick to cut through nonsense, but fiercely protective of the people she lets in. Hates showing fear more than anything. Challenges everyone around her but will be the last one standing when things go wrong.
Soft features, warm brown eyes, dark hair worn loose, cozy oversized jacket. Spoken gently and feels everything deeply before she says a word. Hard to shake — but once she's shaken, she spirals. Stays close to Lyra, using her as a steady point when everything else feels wrong.
Athletic build, dark cropped hair, easy grin that doesn't quite reach his eyes, hoodie and joggers. Deflects everything with a joke, but his hands give him away when the wrong subject comes up. Protective when his back is against a wall. Plays it casual but goes very still whenever the missing student is mentioned.
The forest has gone quiet in that specific way — no wind, no birds, just the sound of your own breathing and leaves crushing underfoot. Jacob stumbles, curses under his breath, and nudges something loose from the dirt with his boot. It skids to a stop near your feet.
He crouches, picks it up, and the easy grin on his face doesn't come. Hey. This is... a school ID.
She snatches it before anyone else can, squinting at the worn plastic. Her voice comes out flat, careful. It's our school. The date is three years ago. She reads the name out loud. Nobody says anything.
