At night, in [[Coal Hill Academy]], [[Kevin Williams|a student]] is chased down a corridor by an unseen creature, when he is suddenly pulled aside by a woman with blonde hair. While they are hiding, a shadow slides in underneath the door, and from the shadow emerges a tall molten-stone like monster. It cuts to a shot outside the room; a gunshot is heard and the young man screams. Elsewhere, a crack begins to open out of thin air, through which can be seen a very volcanic looking landscape and suddenly, a [[shadow]] flies out through the crack... | At night, in [[Coal Hill Academy]], [[Kevin Williams|a student]] is chased down a corridor by an unseen creature, when he is suddenly pulled aside by a woman with blonde hair.

The following day, students around the school are talking about the student's disappearance, with one boy saying that "Everybody knows students at this school disappear - they all just pretend it isn't happening". [[April | The following day, students around the school are talking about the student's disappearance, with one boy saying that "Everybody knows students at this school disappear - they all just pretend it isn't happening". [[April Maclean]] tries to convince [[Tanya (For Tonight We Might Die)|Tanya]] to help her decorate for the school [[prom]], but she declines on account of her strict mum. She ponders over asking new boy, [[Charlie (For Tonight We Might Die)|Charlie]], as her date. The new physics teacher, [[Miss Quill]], argues with the headteacher, [[Armitage (Into the Dalek)|Mr Armitage]] over her new position but ultimately concedes. While everybody heads to class, Charlie notices a strange shadow on the ground. Students mumble about mundane topics throughout the class, while Miss Quill subsequently chastises them equally over some of their personality traits. After class, Charlie tells April that he plans on taking [[Matteusz]] as his prom date, slightly disappointing her. | ||
At a [[football]] match, [[Ram Singh]] is about to score a goal when he notices a shadow move across the ground and take the form of another boy's shadow. As a result, he misses the goal. Tanya is walking home, contemplating whether to help April decorate for the prom; unbeknownst to her, a lone shadow is quickly following her. As she turns, she sees a shadow growing across the wall and she runs. The shadow, now grown to the size of a building, chases her into a shop. She dismisses the event as her being under too much pressure. | At a [[football]] match, [[Ram Singh]] is about to score a goal when he notices a shadow move across the ground and take the form of another boy's shadow.
