Aedan was silent before sighing.

"That's... what I was afraid of.." She muttered before pulling her phone out and sending a text to Hal.

Found the cause. Seems like no one in the school is alive. They probably devoured everyone already.

One.. by... one.
They only fall... a-part.
Can it be.. undone?

Ty's skeleton collapsed to the floor, and she then heard some screams of agony, as she watched him re-form and re-grow before her very eyes... which wasn't pleasant to see, considering what he had just been.

What's going on there? Hal sent back.

"All right, I get it." Ty said to Aedan.

"You made your point." he told her as he walked to the door to let himself out.

Aedan sighed and stepped back from the door so he could leave.

Ever heard of the Vashta Nerada? She replied with. It was the only thing she could liken it to, and she knew that.

She could explain it, yes, but if he knew what it was, then that made it a lot easier.

The Doctor Who villain? Hal sent back.

Yes Aedan confirmed.

There was then silence, as Tyson stepped out of the room.

Are you saying that an entity like that is responsible for these deaths? Hal then asked her.

How do we deal with that? she then received.

That's the thing. I have NO idea. Aedan replied with before looking at ty's feet.

"Ok, you only have one shadow. At least there's that." She said before sighing.

I seriously have no idea how to do this. The best thing I can thing of is to burn the place.

Ty blinked a couple of times when Aedan said what she did.

Well, that miiiiight raise some questions. Hal told her.

Monitor the situation until you hear back from me. he then sent.

"All right, kid." Tyson then said.

"Wanna tell me what's going on?" he asked.

Will do. I don't think there is anyone in here alive, so I doubt there will be much in terms of problems. Aedan replied before slipping her phone into her pocket.

"And what's going on? We're dealing with living shadows. Millions of things in there that will devour anything that goes in whole, if it's meat." She told him simply.

"I never once believed I'd ever encounter them though. I've seen them only in a show."

"..........." Tyson was silent for a moment, before pinching the bridge of his nose.

"Ngh." he grunted.

"Of course." he said.

"All right, so you've only seen them in a show." he said further.

"How were they dealt with in said show?" he asked her.

Aedan paused a moment.

"That's just it." She started.

"They weren't." she told him honestly.

"They were left behind. Left to inhabit the world they were on."

".....I see." Tyson said.

"Great." he growled. "Just perfect." he muttered.

"So we have a flesh-eating menace that we have no idea how to deal with." he said.

"But how did they even get here?" he then wondered.

"And why HERE, of all places?" he asked further, scratching at his chin.

'This place specialises in trades - specifically woodworking trades." Aedan commented, started.

'In what I saw, they were from forests... in books, where the pages were from trees." She continued.

"They may have come on the wood that is brought in for the classes."

"Hm." Tyson muttered.

"I see." he said.

"That may help us." he commented.

"Might it might be of no use to us at all." he then sighed.

"All right, given this new information... do you think we can save anyone?" he asked her.

"Or... do you think there's anyone left TO save?"

"Probably not." Aedan admitted.

"They transfer via shadows... and chances are that no one knew that, so..." she trailed off, figuring she didn't need to say anything.

'I doubt there's anyone alive in here, but we should still look."

"Damn it." Tyson muttered.

"I agree, though. We need to still look." he said.

"There's a chance there are still people here that managed to avoid them." he went on.

"We just missed saving one person, it seems, and as bad as that is, that means there could still be people hiding, but they know not from what." he said further.

"So let's get looking." he sighed.

"We need to comb everywhere."

Aedan nodded.

"If you want to avoid being eaten again, count the shadows. Seriously." She told him.

"If something has more shadows than there should be, stya the hell away."

"Hmmm." Tyson mumbled.

"I'll be on the lookout, then." he said.

"But that may be easier said than done." he then muttered.

"Also, that was NOT fun." he growled.

"Seriously, that was agony. I mean, it was quick, but god, was it agony." he told her.

"A rather unique form of pain."

"Honestly, that really doesn't surprise me." Aedan commented.

"I wouldn't expect it to be pleasant, but at least it's quick. A few seconds, if that." She paused before letting out a breath.

"Anyway, split up and look?"

"Split up and look." Tyson agreed.

"And we let each other know if we find ANYTHING that can help, or anyone alive." he said.

"At this point, beggars can't be choosers." he reasoned.

"Let's move out." he told her.

Aedan was silent for a moment before nodding.

"Yeah. Just.. try and stay out of the shadows and whatnot. Just in case one is infected." She said.

"I'll see you later." With that, she headed off one way while Ty went in a different direction.

"Got it." Ty responded, before he left in his direction.

The two of them started to rise up in the floors, but each time, they were finding no survivors... and there only remained two floors.

However, when Aedan returned to their meeting spot, she noticed that Tyson wasn't there.

She received another text, though.

Let my guard down. it read.

Still hurts to come into contact with then, FYI. the next one read.

I'll be there in a minute or so. the last one said.
