"Yeah, that's a good idea, I'll try and find him."

Phil got up and started to leave the room, Dan following closely behind. As he began to walk out of the corridor with all the students rooms, he saw Dan had stopped following him.

"You're not coming?" he asked with clear disappointment in his voice.

"No, sorry. You get it, right?"

He knew well of the reason why Dan didn't want to go with him - that'd make him seem approachable and that'd ruin everything for him. His reputation was important to him, Phil wished he'd just drop it, but he probably had reasons for it that he was unbeknownst to, so he respected it despite the fact he didn't agree with it entirely.

"It's fine, don't worry about it, I'll let you know what he's said."

It was by pure luck that he'd found Tyler wandering around he school grounds with Zoe.

"Tyler, can I ask you something?"

"Well that's a sure-fire way to make anyone nervous,"

"Do you need privacy? Shall I leave?" asked Zoe, Phil admired how nice she was.

"No, it's fine, you can stay - I trust you both. Tyler, is there anyway you can use your power to look into people's futures?"

He was hoping that Tyler would have an answer so he wouldn't have to find someone he barely knew to help him out, so he felt slightly disheartened when Tyler said there was nothing he could to do to help.

"I'm sorry, no can do - I can't look into the past, present or future life of a person - I can only look at a period of time in general. Time travelling is different to reading into people's past and futures. Plus, I don't like to travel to the future often - we've all seen how those characters in movies end after making that mistake."

"There is someone else you could try though." Zoe stated. Phil had almost forgotten she was there as she'd been so quiet.

"Oh, I think I know who you mean," Tyler agreed, nodding his head.

Phil was beginning to feel out of the loop in the situation as he had no clue as to who they were talking about.

"Come on, let's go then."

They'd walked to the edge of the school grounds, as close to the woods as it was possible; the place was just as sinister in daylight. Just like what had happened a few weeks ago, he could see the shadows of figures along with the ones of trees being cast on the ground.

"She's over there," Zoe spoke, as she pointed to one of the figures.

"We should leave you to it - she doesn't like crowds - they 'cloud the spiritual aura for her visions' or something like that."

They both left Phil to go to the area which the figures were occupying, he couldn't help but feel apprehensive about going. As he was only a hundred or so yards, one of them must have seen him getting closer to them, as he saw a single boy approaching me.

"Hey, I'm Phil, I was wondering if -"

"Don't talk so loudly." the boy scolded. Phil occasionally forgot how loud his voice could be.
