Prologue

Prologue:

"What the hell is happening?" I ask in horror. "I hate to admit it but we haven't the slightest clue,"

"I found a dead person in my room and that's all you have for me?" Tristan looks at Derek for backup. "We're all in the same boat and we all have the knowledge,"

"Do we really? Because it seems like you're still keeping things from me even after everything we've been through! What is that symbol?" Derek becomes tight-lipped which never happens and Tristan takes a deep breath. "That star symbol is often used in cults. It represents dominance, superiority, and power. We don't know what the smaller symbols that make up the star mean."

"Now that cult is murdering students," I state.

"That's the thing, from the multitude of cults throughout the year, none of them have ever done this. They kill for sacrifice not to prove a point. They don't murder people unless it's a part of whatever is necessary to accomplish their goal. We are dealing with something far worse than a cult,"
