>I look on terrified. Reed looks down at his arm that he'd just scraped against the auditorium door. Where I'd expected either blood or even just nothing a silvered gleam stares back at me.
>I stare hard. It's... metal? I look over to check on the reactions from Fang or Trish. A flat lack of them puts a stint in my heart.
>I look back to see Reed's usual laid back relaxed face is now also a full empty. It's extremely unsettling.
>"Reed?" I hope for some sort of answer or explanation. I get a cold look back as he slowly turns his head.
>Terror strikes me as I notice a lack of gleam in his eyes. A motion I'd not thought possible as he turns his body as his head stays stock still.
>A sense of dread takes me as I look over to see all three gazes are on me. Not wanting to overstay my welcome I move away, breaking into a sprint after just a few paces. My heart pounding out of my chest.
>And not too long I run straight into Stella. Seemingly a repeat of a day earlier this year I stumble sideways as we bound off of each other.
>She starts to regain her posture and I grab her by the shoulders. "STELLA!" I bring my voice down to a whisper "Stella!"
>Her panicked face nods at me. "There's...something wrong. Something really really wrong." I glance back to see if they've given chase. I'm clean so far.
>"A-Anon?"
>"I saw Reed scratch his arm really bad just a second ago." I push my speech out as fast as it can go.
>"And?" she's still wide-eyed.
>"No blood. No nothing just... metal. Almost like he was a machine or something. And that's not it. Fang and Trish were there but when I-"
>I cut myself off as I stare into Stella's eyes. She's giving me a look. A cold look. A flat look. I almost fall backwards as she doesn't move.
>I cover my mouth with my hand as I stumble into the lockers, planting myself flat against them.
>Suddenly I seem to find many more sets of eyes on me. All the same. All giving that look like there's nothing behind it.
