CHAPTER 42 - Undescribable Sensation

Y/N and the group were all feeling aggressive, except for Ashlyn, who was crying from all the noise. Y/N felt like she was in a trance, unconsciously applying pressure to Ashlyn's ear while staring at the group. She felt paralyzed by her anger, unable to move because she couldn't leave Ashlyn's side. She could feel the tension building, the aggression in the air thickening with each passing moment. But despite her own anger simmering just beneath the surface, she couldn't bring herself to join in.

As much as Y/N wanted to confront the group, to make them stop and see reason, she knew that it wouldn't end well. The situation was already volatile enough without her adding fuel to the fire.

So instead, she focused on comforting Ashlyn, trying to shield her from the worst of it. As she watched the chaos unfold, her thoughts felt hazy. A strange surge of energy ran through her, tempting her to create even more chaos than what was already happening. Unbeknownst to them, the lights started flickering and phantom figures appeared in the windows, adding to the chaos.

Ashlyn was overwhelmed by the noise and the presence of the phantoms, which affected her more due to her sensitivity and connection to the other dimension. As the chaos intensified, Ashlyn felt a surge of energy coursing through her body, causing her to shiver uncontrollably. She closed her eyes and focused on grounding herself, trying to block out the overwhelming sensations threatening to consume her.

"CALM DOWN!" Everyone in the group was startled by Ashlyn's words, which triggered a sense of familiarity. They suddenly became aware of the situation and felt a shockwave of realization wash over them, bringing them back to their senses.

It took a moment for everyone to understand the situation as Barron's men and Barron himself were seen leaving the scene. Everyone present was in shock and confusion, trying to process what had just happened. The flickering lights stopped and the area was illuminated once again. The group stood frozen in silence, trying to make sense of the situation. Y/N felt Ashlyn's hands trying to lower, but Y/N's pressure made it difficult.

Eventually, Ashlyn's hands were released from Y/N's grip. Y/N's hands moved away as she slowly lowered her hand. Her gaze remained fixed on the group in the center, her expression filled with surprise.

"Just... what was that?" Taylor asked, hugging her elbows as she tried to make sense of the strange sensation they all just experienced. "... I'm not usually that... violent." she said, her expression showing anxiety, apprehension, and nervousness.

It took Y/N a moment to process the strange occurrence that just happened. "What was that... This... Energy- the sensation was just..." She lowered her head and thought to herself.

"...Yeah well, they attacked us first. Maybe we did go overboard... but at the very least they deserved it." He stood with his arms crossed, his expression beaten but stern, his eyes narrowed.

"No... guys, honestly something didn't feel right." Y/N got up on her knees and placed a hand on her arm. "Did you feel... something off, too?"

Everyone remained quiet.

She felt a chill running through her body, causing her to shudder. This sensation was not welcoming, as if a new side of her had taken over, with little of her consciousness remaining.

"... I don't think that's just the problem." said Ashlyn, her eyes widening with shock. "Their not wrong, however... this could be... bad."

"What are you talking about?" Tyler asked.

She started by saying, "... You guys..." then paused for a moment before continuing, "...were making the same sounds as the phantom do."

That... didn't sound good.

A tall man wearing a black hood was sitting on the roof, away from the light and partially hidden in the shadows. He was smoking a joint and eavesdropping on the group below without them knowing. The man, whose name is Ryan unknown to them, has been constantly keeping track of them, listening and watching from the shadows. This explains why Ashlyn has been hearing things around the graveyard.

It's unclear how long he's been there, but he clearly has a purpose. Many things have happened with the group unaware of his presence, leading to more conflicts and confusion coming their way unexpectedly.

However, they will soon face bigger challenges, and time will show that these challenges will arrive very soon.

Yeah... I know, this is all I got. However, I'm telling y'all there's gonna be lots, and lots of angst stuff coming. Ooh, boy...
