The legend of the School Cooks of Mable

It was Wednesday. While getting ready for school I was watching the news when an amber alert was issued for my town. A ten year old girl from my school was missing and was last seen in our school. I never knew the girl so it really did not matter to me but, as you can guess, when I got to school news people were interviewing teachers and the principal about the missing 10 year old.
Then Jake (My best friend) came up to me and said, “Well today is gonna be a busy day. You hear what happened?”
“Yeah, I heard about the lost child, but since she was last seen here, authorities will probably investigate,” I explained.
“Well, I hope they find her, but lets get to class,” announced Jake. During lunch, I sat with my friends and we noticed a couple of pieces of hair in our food. We went up to the cooks and they said it was probably our hair even though none of us had blond hair. We went back to our table and another friend asked what did they do and I said, “Nothing.”
“Wow,” shouted one friend. At the end of the day Jake and I headed out to the diner in town to hang out. When we got to the bus stop, the bus got into a crash, so we ended up walking. At the diner, Jake and I started hearing about a legend involving the school cooks where they kidnapped kids and cook them for the next day’s school lunch.
“That’s creepy,¨ I said.
While we were drinking coffee Jake asked, ¨Hey dude, i know there’s a lock-in at the school Friday, maybe we should stay at the lock-in and scare the kids there, also I heard that the teachers will be in another room.¨
¨Sure, but we can't tell anybody.¨ I explained.
¨Ok,¨ Jake said.
As the night went through, Jake and I got ready for the scare the next morning. Before I went to school, I called Jake to see if he got his stuff ready for tonight and he said,
“ Yes.” When we got to school we showed each other what we brought for the scare and Jake brought this really creepy mask of an old woman and I mean it was scary.
As school ended we got our sleeping bags out for the night. When it turned dark outside everyone decided to go to bed, so as everyone went to bed Jake texted me asking if I was ready so I said, “Yes.”
We asked the teacher to go to the bathroom and thats when we wandered off to the cafeteria storage room to get ready. When I arrived there Jake was already ready. His costume looked weird.
¨You ready?¨ Jake asked.
¨Not yet,¨ I whispered.
¨Hurry up then,¨ whispered Jake. As we got ready Jake noticed a weird, green, faint light in the storage room.
¨What's that?¨ Jake asked.
¨What?¨ I said in confusion.
¨That faint green light, let me see what it is.¨ Jake explained.
¨I wonder what that is? I'm following you,¨ I said. As we got closer to the green light we noticed it was coming from a room containing three ugly old woman.
¨Oh my gosh!¨ I whispered.
¨Dude! We need to call the cops and get out of here,¨ Jake explained.
¨Shh! Be quiet! Let’s get out and call the police!¨ I demanded. As I lead the way Jake tripped on a pan and hurt his ankle. BANG! The pan hit the ground making a loud noise waking up the three women.
¨Help me, my leg hurts,¨ Jake panicked in pain. At that moment I heard the women getting up. Then they started chasing me. I screamed in fear as I ran into the room where the other kids were sleeping. They woke up in fear and the teachers asked what happened.
¨Help, there are people in the building, they… they… took Jake.¨ I stuttered. The teachers asked where I saw the women and when we got to the room no one was there. We called the cops to investigate, and while they were doing that I sat traumatized about what just happened. Jake’s parents showed up in fear asking where he was and when they were told what happened, Jake's mom cried. As I sat traumatized, people asked me questions about what happened but, as I got overwhelmed, I passed out.
The next day I woke up in my bed and as I went down to the kitchen I found out they still had not found Jake. As I still had hope for the police to find Jake, I started doing a little research. I found out about the legend at my school and by comparing the research and what happened last night it seems like the legend might be true. The three women we saw were described as aliens according to the research.
The next day of school my parents made me stay home because they did not want me speaking about Friday’s night. As my parents knew what I was going through, we decided to moved away to another town called Denhart. No one from that school in Denhart knew about what I witnessed so my parents thought that was good. From that day forward I really never thought about my old school, but when I did it was not about the lock-in.
