Stacy can’t help but feel uneasy as small red letters begin to appear seemingly everywhere around her, in her parents house, her backpack. But when she comes back to her college dorm on the 3rd floor everything changes. Her clothes strewn across her floor, her window broken from the outside, blood splattered over her kitchen sink and her entire room covered in hundreds of small, red, envelopes.

But soon, the police start to receive a flood of phone calls from people reporting their missing spouses, children, friends, colleagues. 

Why is everyone disappearing without a trace? And more importantly, where are they all going?

But not a single person who attended the dance that night was expecting the three events that would follow..

1. The lights would all go off

2. They would come back on, revealing a student dead on the floor.

3. They would turn off again

Nobody is safe tonight.

Are you afraid of the dark?

Jake was never a hero, he always remained silent and stayed in the shadows. One day, the aliens discovered his camp and destroyed everyone in it except for Jake, leaving him as the only survivor. The surface is dangerous and crawling with aliens, but he has stumbled upon the alien mothership, where all the aliens are controlled. Will he be able to stop the invasion or will Earth crumble to bits?

4:55 a.m., Thursday, April, 2013. 

That was when a mystery killer murdered Katrina Courtney. The killer disappeared; no murders have happened since. There is no evidence of who the killer is, and there is no hope for justice. The police have given up. 

Far away, there is a teenage girl who is getting close to finding the killer of Katrina. She never met Katrina; she didn’t know she died, but she is close to finding her killer. Her name is Sadie Hardy, and she is in the process of being stalked. For a deadly reason.

As Sadie gets closer to the truth, she realizes there are two ways out of the rabbit hole she has fallen into. Sadie gets to the killer, or the killer gets to Sadie. Both of them will disappear. Every direction Sadie turns to will be full of blackmail and death, her secrets leaking out into the world. This all started with Katrina. There is no safe way out.

three ways it could be revealed:

1. another student could be working with them who is famously bad at maths (the teacher is a maths teacher)... they could say something like "he promised me extra credit"

2. The teacher hugs the main character at the end of the story (the police have arrived, they arrested the student who helped), and as he walks away and gets in his car the main character notices some blood on him that reveals he did it.

3. The killer could say something over the loud speaker and says a phrase the teacher always says but it doesn't click until the teacher says it to her as he walks away and gets in the car.

1: By opening her mailbox and finding it full of bills from the doctor, weeks old junk mail and letters from her mum.

2: By breaking down and passing out, her friends then find Stacy in her room and they bring her to the ER.

3: By having an episode and suddenly remembering everything, then rushing to the ER but crashes her car halfway there and the police get her to the hospital.

Big Answer: Katrina Courtney didn’t get murdered. Recently, she had been in a terrible business with corrupt people. Her father stole their money, so Katrina decided to take the blame for him. As the people who wanted their money got closer, Katrina decided there was only one way out of her danger. She staged her death to disappear, wanting a new life. Now she, and her father, are safe. Throughout the book, the audience thinks Katrina is dead. 

Far away, Sadie Hardy is close to discovering Katrina’s identity; thinking she is finding out who her blackmailer is. Katrina’s new name is Sabina. Sadie doesn’t know she is about to find Katrina’s killer…Katrina herself.

Three ways it might be revealed: 

1. Sadie accidentally meets Sabina in a cafe, not knowing who she is. Sabina gets comfortable talking to Sadie and accidentally lets her old accent come through; for a second. That is all it takes for Sadie to become suspicious. Sadie begins noticing how familiar Sabina looks. She asks Sabina about it and she holds up her hands in a comedic surrender. That is when Sabina’s tattoo shows: a lion roaring out music notes on her left arm. Sadie spent weeks studying Katrina’s murder case; and knows about the tattoo. She now knows she is talking to Katrina.

2. Sabina is invited to her neighbor's place for dinner. The neighbors serve savory muffins with sesame seeds on top for a starter. Sabina has a rare allergy to sesame seeds, and if she eats the muffins she will need to go to the hospital. No doubt the hospital will find out who she is. The audience knows about Katrina’s allergy to sesame seeds, but they don’t know Sabina is Katrina. So as Sabina says she can’t have the muffins as she has an allergy the audience becomes suspicious. That is when Sabina’s tattoo shows, confirming suspicions that she is Katrina.

3. Sabina accidentally gets hit by Sadie when she is driving. After surgery, the hospital discovers Sabina is Katrina. Sabina pays for them to keep the information secret, but Sadie overhears them. She knows she has met someone who is meant to be dead.

So in the very few last lines of the very last book in the series we would find out that there are more than 900 dragons because David goes upstairs into the SDD( Secret Dragons Den) and turns the handle. His hand was burnt. There he saw more than he could chew.

Another 3 ways we could reveal this answer:

1. When David is sleeping in his bed he can here movement and hissing sounds from above( the Dragons Den is above his room)..

2. he could only see his dragon, Gadzooks( first introduced in Book 1)... and then he sees another one beside him and then faints. When he wakes up from his slumber he sees many dragons hovering around him.

3. When David is writing( he is an author and illustrator), the lights flicker and it starts to get really hot and stuffy, so, he goes to the Den, where the the power commander or switch is.

WHAT? Envelopes with photos of herself, her friends and family and her house and pets.

WHO?Herself, friends/family and the stalker.

WHERE? in her house, college room and other places.

WHEN?When it started at the same time as the story and is still ongoing.

WHY?To help her remember everything when she has an episode.

HOW?It's her having a DID episode, when this happens she struggles to remember things about her life so she takes photos so she can remember but it comes across as stalking.

What is the big question?

Who is the killer/who turned off the lights?

What?

At the school dance the lights go off and when they come back on again 3 students are lying dead on the floor. Over the next couple of weeks the same thing keeps happening, at random town events, the lights go off, and when they come back on a student is dead. Always a student, no-one else.

Who?

• Cara Mason (protagonist)

• Mr Dolfonos (teacher, who is revealed to be the killer)

• Members of the town

• students at the school

Where?

the story is set in the small town of Point Stone.

The first set of murders takes place at the school dance, the second at a town meeting, the third at parent teacher interviews etc.

When?

The story is told as its happening and is set in the current year.

Why?

Mr Dolfonos grew up in Point Stone and went to Point Stone Secondary. He was bullied as a kid for various reasons by various different people. His parents took him out of Point Stone when he was in year 9 and moved away to the city. He gradually changed his appearance and moved back as a teacher to get his revenge. He is only killing the kids of people who were mean to him in high school.

How?

• the lights go off at the dance.

• when they come back on the students are dead

• this continues to happen at various locations

Allie prefers to not explore anything too deeply. She has a tendency to leave things as they are, and not get overly involved in order to try and keep things as simple as possible. However, if she wants to help solve this mystery, she’s going to have get very involved in lots of people’s lives, because she must interview people to try and figure out what’s going on. 

What: The unknown if information is obviously the big question, who is Fiona?, but, what the audience doesn't know is that Fiona is the one behind all of the attacks or murders( which we don't know about until the very end). The audience also doesn't know that Fiona is secretly a werewolf( got this inspiration from Wednesday)

Who are the Characters?:

Stacy: age: 13, Holly's best friend

Adele: age: 14, Mean girl, Fiona's older sister

Holly: age: 12, Stacey's best friend and Fiona's bestest friend since birth

Fiona: age: 12, main character, half werewolf and human

Where: 13 Main street, Night Garden, Colinsvile high

When: 2013, Colinsvile

Why: Fiona's elder sister, Adele, is always bullying her as soon as Fiona came to middle school. She and Holly have been friends ever since, so nothing would break there friendship. Later, a new girl, Stacey comes into town. Turns out that Stacey is also a Mean Girl and that everyone adores her( she is from Manhattan), and soon enough she had taken Holly away from Fiona and that now Fiona has no one else.

Fiona then every midnight turns into a werewolf and plans on her revenge.

How:

• First crime happened in girls bathroom (girl named, Jessica Jones)

• no one knows who Fiona is and what she looks like ( except for Adele)

• Fiona always was the closest one to any of the crimes that have occurred

• Fiona would always have a scar when the crime was found

The young girl pushed open the old door, pausing as it creaked, terrified of what might be waiting for her. She had entered the abandoned mansion moments ago, desperately searching for a room to hide in. Darkness filled every corner of the room ahead, its cold hands circling her body, waiting to capture its prey. She took a hesitant step forward, her eyes adjusting to the eerie darkness. As she looked around, her eyes widened in horror. The room was filled with old, wealthy objects—stale rugs, glaring hunting trophies, dusty containers, fake cat and dog statues, a box of old children’s toys, and more discarded items. It was as if the wealthy family who once lived here had placed all their memories in this room.

Crouching low, she noticed a doll’s eyes following her every move, watching, almost waiting for her. Reaching the far end of the room, she saw a single high window, its bars framing a deadly night sky. She was panicking now—she had to hide. She couldn’t be found.

Almost like a lightbulb had turned on, she spotted an old chest to her side. Its carvings depicted humans dancing with animals, and a hunter off to the side, pointing his gun at both. Without a second thought, she opened the chest and climbed inside, slamming it shut. She was safe.

Then came footsteps. Slow, deliberate footsteps, growing closer to her hiding place. The girl held her breath, knowing what would happen if she was found. The footsteps stopped outside the chest. Sweat dripped down her forehead as she waited for the chest to be torn open. Then, there was a soft click. A simple, innocent sound– but it locked her inside.

Somehow, the person outside knew she was there and had trapped her in a chest where the air would soon run out. She would die—if she couldn’t find a way out.

"I’m really sorry, I was almost on time, but I left one of the costumes—"

He raised a hand, cutting me off.

"The show’s about to start, and our lead isn’t even dressed because you couldn’t make it on time."

"I didn’t mean to—" I couldn’t even finish my sentence before he interrupted again.

"This is ridiculous. We can’t go on without the costumes. If you don’t hurry, we might miss the show altogether."

"I-I’m sorry! I was almost there, but I forgot one of the costumes—"

He waved me off, trying to stay composed but failing a bit.

"The show’s about to start, and our lead isn’t even dressed because of this."

"I didn’t mean to—" I started, but he cut me off, pacing now.

"This is bad. The show can’t go on without the costumes, and if we don’t fix this right now, we might miss the whole thing."

What origin story would justify or explain these characters?

- A master thief who only steals from corrupt corporations and CEOs.

- A pirate who hates the world but loves his or her crew.

- An evil scientist determined to use modern AI technology to enslave the world.

His whole life, the world had done nothing for him. After losing his parents to a deadly virus when he was young, he was completely alone. Orphanages offered nothing but survival, the streets were harsh and barren. No one seemed to take pity on a poor, scraggly little boy crying himself to sleep every night. He wasn't allowed to work, "too young," they all said. But he didn't have the money to buy what he needed. That was until the ship arrived. It was ginormous, like nothing the boy had ever seen. When the captain walked the streets, people cowered in fear. Tattoos, scars and a menacing grin plastered on his face. But the captain stopped when he saw the little boy. He stopped, and his face softened.

"You got a bed, lad?" he asked softly, bending down to meet the boy's eyes. The little boy shook his head. "Well, I've got one perfect for you."

After that, the little boy never had to worry about food, or money, or where to sleep. He had people who loved him, people whom he would do anything for.

Specially trained scientists who hunt and extract the life from mutant plants.
