Back To School: A Sequel

Chapter 10: Finale Against Edward and Timber:

They all stood outside of the door, waiting. They weren't waiting out of patience, but fear. As they all stood there, Derek began choking and gagging.

"Oh no..." Wyatt muttered.

Derek's eyes were all black again, and his mouth was contorted into an evil smile. Unlike at the beginning, Derek was too tired to try and fight against it.

"Why couldn't you have just left us alone?" Pierre asked, voice serious and cold.

"I don't want to leave you pests alone! You've haunted me for years and now I'm doing what I'm meant to do! And I like having fun!" Derek, a voice speaking through him like a puppet, said happily before choking and throwing up black fluid, his eyes then became normal again.

Everybody cringed, and Pierre stepped forward and opened the door. A man sat at a desk in front of them as they entered the room. It was a large wooden desk, with very few items and papers on it. The carpet of the room was a pale blue-green and the walls were red brick, where many paintings and a sword hung. The man was blonde and pale, Derek thought he looked awfully similar to Basil. He wore a clean, ironed suit and had his legs propped up on his desk. He clearly took notice of them but didn't say a word. Timber wasn't there at all it seemed.

Then, the man at the desk spoke, in a contorted and twisted voice, and Derek saw past the frames of his glasses and realized that the man's eyes were pure black.

"You all try much too hard," he said. "You don't have to go after every thing or solve every mystery. Some things, like me, should be just left alone."

"Just shut up and let us fight you!" Derek yelled at him, Ally jumped a bit at the suddenness.

"Fine, but I have to take these first-"

All of the items that they had collected flew up and out of their pockets and hands and into the air, they hovered for a bit before disappearing in an instant.

"What the hell was the point of collecting those if we're just gonna lose them?" Wyatt and Derek both yelled at it.

"I just wanted to give the teachers something to do- they'll get paid extra, don't worry." he smiled. "However, I'm not going to let you all have just absolutely nothing to go against me with, that just wouldn't be fair. So, go and find something in the room that you can use, I've left some interesting things around- now hurry up!"

Derek immediately looked to his left to find a sword hung on the wall. He glanced back at the dried blood on his hands and ripped the sword from the wall and unsheathed it. Pierre looked around the room and grabbed a hammer that laid on the ground. They held it, feeling the heaviness of it in their hand. Ally looked to the desk and grabbed a pair of large scissors. They were sharp and shiny, if she wasn't careful she could've stabbed someone easily. Wyatt didn't bother looking for any sort of weapon to grab, he felt as if his own hands were enough on their own.

"Okay, we're ready. What're you going to do now?" Pierre said as the dark-eyed principal laid back in his chair.

"Okay, we'll finally be able to get started- oh, before that though I should introduce myself: hi, my name is Edward." And with that, he leaned back and his jaw unhinged like a snake, black fluid and what looked like appendages spilled out everywhere.

The room was filled with the sound of choking, gagging, and gurgling, until it all stopped and the principal- Edward- collapsed behind the desk, and Timber rose up in his place. It was taller, far taller than it had been the last time they had seen it all those years ago, it seemed to have gotten more gaunt and pale and it had a crack on its face- like it's skin was porcelain. It laughed terribly, it's teeth were long and pointed.
