[The Truth]

Will sighed.
"Alright, here goes. It was about a month and a half ago, right when the killings first started. I was walking down the street by myself, like I always did, when I heard that static. Turned around, and there it was. Faceless thing, all hunched over and lopsided, with a huge knife. I...I ran. But the faster I ran, the faster it caught up with me. I finally ended up in a dead end alley. I turned around...felt like, if I was gonna die, I would at least be brave. And all of a sudden...this lady jumps down from a rooftop. I never got a good look at her...it all happened so fast. It stabbed at me with that knife, she pulled out this antique pistol, blew its head right off...she handed me the book and vanished before I could even speak. I opened the book, and...you saw what happened. Dark void, mystery voice offers my deepest wish. All of a sudden, I feel something going through my brain, picking through all my fantasies." He blushed. "For some reason, the wish it choose...well, it was my fantasy girl."

He shook his head. "Anyway, that's how I met Nola. Samantha was the next. Latched onto Nola for some reason and started following us around. The Faceless, it didn't like that. Tried to kill her."

Nola continued the story. "I was about to fight it, to try to protect them, when all of a sudden, one of the jocks from class saw us and decided to play hero. Andrew tackled it into a wall and it vanished. Then the book flew out of Will's pocket and started glowing, so we handed it to Andrew...and now he's the Pink Ranger."
Andrew glared at her.

"Anyway..." Will sighed. "Apparently we're pawns in a game. That mystery voice picked us for his team. Apparently, to win, we need to destroy the source of the Faceless. On the other hand, it wins if we all die."
"And..." Samantha finished, "if we win, the Voice promised to grant all our wishes."
