The warm late summer breeze was pleasant after the recent storms that had passed earlier in the week. Hopefully it was also a sign that the start of the new school year would be a good one. Today was the last days everyone had to finish getting settled in before classes started. Like others who had already been to Ashwood College Brook and Marquise planned to meet up with some old friends and maybe meet some new ones along the way. In just a few short days the freshman will be looking at the clubs and deciding which to join, if any.


Marquise sorted through some new equipment he had acquired over the summer to test out. He always liked to be prepared for whatever they may encounter on one of their investigations. He was already in the small classroom located within Loren Hall, one of the oldest buildings on campus. Carefully the young man placed the EMF detector, 360 digital recorder, REM Pod, and full spectrum camcorder onto the table. The new toys would hopefully get a good reaction from the others in the Witching Hour Society. While he waited for the others to arrive he decided to take a nap on the couch on the far side of the room. This was something that was normal for him as he tended to spend more time here than any place else. Often the others would tease him and refer to him as being like a cat.

Just a few short hours ago Brook had finished unpacking her things. She was glad that the new school year was starting. While she waited on her twin she surfed the web on her tablet looking for any new paranormal occurrences. The young woman had a good feeling about this year. It was going to be great to get the club started back up. “Hurry up sis we’re going to be late,” Brook called as she tapped on a promising link. A grin spread across her pale lips as she skimmed over the story. This one just might be worth checking out and better yet it’s right here on campus.

Alexia was so happy to find out that the roommate that she was supposed to have ended up deciding to attend another school instead. She was going to have the whole dorm room to herself for at least first semester. Looking at the clock she groaned. It was already late in the evening. She had just finished getting things unpacked and her stomach was protesting due to the lack of food she had eaten the past few days. Since she hadn’t been to the store yet there was nothing left within her room to eat. So the teen had no choice, but to go to the Tiger’s Den to get dinner. Really she hadn’t planned on leaving her room until tomorrow to go to classes. With a sigh the pink haired girl grabbed her keys and college id to go in search of food.
