Why Are You Here?

Chapter 4 Preview

As Ashlyn walked down the hallway, she couldn't help but notice a figure standing outside an empty classroom. It was Korn, or rather, a ghostly apparition of him. She rubbed her eyes, thinking it was just her imagination, but when she opened them, he was still there.
Curiosity getting the best of her, Ashlyn cautiously approached the spirit. As she got closer, Korn turned and walked into the classroom, beckoning her to follow.
Ashlyn hesitated for a moment, wondering if this was a good idea. But something inside her told her she needed to follow Korn's ghostly figure. So she took a deep breath and entered the classroom.
Inside, she found Korn's ghostly figure standing by the chalkboard, pointing to a phrase scrawled on it in what appeared to be blood. Ashlyn shuddered at the sight and tried to make out the words.
"Find the key to the truth," she read aloud, her voice barely above a whisper.
Suddenly, the classroom door slammed shut, causing Ashlyn to jump. She turned around, but the door was locked from the outside. She was trapped.
"What do you want from me?" she asked, turning back to the ghostly figure of Korn.
But he didn't answer. Instead, he pointed to the chalkboard again, urging her to solve the mystery of his death.
Ashlyn jiggled the door handle again, trying to open it as she started to panic. She then jumped as the door opened up. Ashlyn looked at the figure. "Dean," she says as Dean stands in the doorway with his hand on the doorknob.
"Ashlyn, what are you doing here," he asked her.
