Date: 12 januari 2020

 

Engulfed in darkness, Jesy tried to feel around to find the rope that wil lead her back to the abandoned house, where the others are waiting for her. She needs to hurry before the creature will find her and try to mess with her head. Finally after feeling around for a bit she found the string and held onto it. Before leaving she made sure the bag is secure on her back and started to follow the string.

She was blindly walking with the string in her hand when she suddenly felt the temperature drop and could hear the birds crying in the distant. The speed of the wind rose and fear spiked up her back. She knows the creature has surrounded her and started to slightly panic. Whispers were echoing around her and slowly went louder. When it was loud enough to properly hear them she noticed what they were saying.

"Take of your blindfold, Jesy. Don't you want to take a peek. Take it off"

"No, shut up! Go away."

In her panic she lost her hold on the string and flailed her hands aimlessly in front of her. She wanted to get away from there but she won't be able to know where she's going yet there was no choice but to run blindly. Jesy was so scared that she could feel her heart beating in her chest.

Maybe it was the fact that she was blindfolded or she was running a little too fast but she tripped and fell down to the ground. It seems that luck was in her favor because when she put her hands on the ground to push herself to stand she could feel the string. It was right under her hand so she hastily clutched it and clumsily tried to follow it back to the house.

After finally reaching the house she pounded on the door and screamed for the others to let her come inside. She whimpered as she could hear the birds getting wilder and knowing that the creature is getting closer she pounded even harder on the door. The door was opened with a speed that caused her to trip inside and the door closed immediately. Knowing that she's safe now she raised her hand and pulled off her blindfold. She looked at the people, who are her best friends and used to be in a band together a year ago.

"Are you ok? What happened?"

"I'm fine, Jade".

1 year ago...

Loud screams were echoing in the arena and thousands of fans were screaming the band's name repeatedly.

'Little Mix! Little Mix! Little Mix!".

Behind the stage there were people running around to organise things for the concert that will start in a few minutes. Among them there was Leigh-Anne who was nervously looking out at the big crowd. She found it amazing that thousands of people could gather together just to see four girls. She laughed to herself and thought it's funny that she still gets nervous eventough she's done it for more than 7 years.

While Leigh-Anne was watching the crowd and silently thought to herself, there was Perrie at the other side of the room. She was watching the news while doing some vocal warm ups. She became quiet when the reporter was talking about how something strange is making the people in Mexico go crazy. She was intrigued but couldn't watch further because a voice was yelling that they only have a couple of minutes left before it's time to go onstage. She hurriedly went to the rest, where they formed a circle, to silently pray before they went up the stage to perform to their fans.

It was yet another succesful night where they performed their latest album to their fans. They only had one more song to perform before it's time to go back. But before they perform the last song the girls decided to interact a little with their fans.

"How was tonight for you guys?" screamed Jade. "I hope you enjoyed tonight immensely and you guys should know that without you guys we wouldn't be standing here right now."

Jade was communicating with their fans and telling them the reasons why she's grateful for them while Perrie was looking at the crowd to take in as many faces of their fans. The gratitude she felt towards these people, who have supported them since the beginning, is huge.

One particular fan, in the upper row, catched her eye. The girl's face was blank and her eyes seemed to be empty. Perrie shivered a little and she was getting a bad feeling. She kept staring at the girl who suddenly whipped her head towards her direction and fixed her eyes on Perrie. The girl stood up and walked over to the back where she suddenly banged her head on the wall. She repeated the action until it bled. In just mere seconds there was screams surrounding the arena. This time it wasn't with anticipation but fear. A lot of fans began to act wild and were trying to hurt themselves. The members were dumbfounded while looking around. They have no clue about what's going on.

Perrie was frozen until she felt a hand pushing her towards the back.

"What the hell is going on out there? Why are they behaving lke that?" exaggerated Jesy.

Everyone was panicking and scared.

"It's here" whispered Perrie. "The thing that made everyone crazy in Mexico is here."
