Revival

Smoke

Renee POV:

Something touches my back. It lifts my shirt from the back. A warm hand runs up my spine.

I don't give one fuck if this is Kennedy or not. At this point, this fucker is going down. 

I grab the hand touching my back and press it to their back. I slam their body against the nearest table and hold them against it. 

With the room still so dark  that I can't see, I reach my hand everywhere around me on the walls searching for a switch. My fingers stumble against a switch and I flick it on, hoping for light.

Across the room, a single red light-bulb flickers on.

This is some exorcism shit.

I let go of the person and bolt to the door.

At least if they catch me, I'll know who to assassinate after they attempt to fuck me again.

I hear loud footsteps behind me, and getting closer. I near the door, the bright light from the outside blinding me from what's to come. I burst out the door to the hallway and fall to the ground. I turn around, ready to fight anything that comes my way. 

I see nothing but an empty science classroom, lights on, and nothing chasing me. The school seems peaceful, calm, but my heart feels otherwise. Inside my chest beats the sound of a war-drum.

"If I were you, I'd be inclined to run." The speaker booms loudly, scaring the living shit out of me.

That voice, I know that voice. But from where. 

My heart doesn't slow down, to say the least.

I scramble to get up, and run to the nearest school exit. 

Locked.

Fucktastic, now I'm stuck in a school with a psychopath killer, and a ghost creep. Or they're both the same person. I don't know, and I don't much care, I want out. 

Across the school I hear fast paced footsteps, followed by a feminine sounding yell.

I've got nowhere to go, so I run off to see if I can help this person, or at least see what's going on in this hell-hole before I die.

And I thought school couldn't get any worse.

I begin sprinting down the halls, looking for the girl that yelled. I catch something in the corner of my eye as I run past the science corridor.

I immediately pause, sending my shoes into a sliding motion while making a screeching noise. 

I scan the hallway with my eyes, searching for the thing I may have seen. In the corner, I see a suspicious looking shadow. I cautiously move toward the dark area in corner, pulling out my phone for a light. I turn on my flashlight and shine it in the corner. Huddled up is a small, fragile, blue haired human facing the wall. She was surely unaware that my presence wasn't like the evil that may have tried to hurt her too.

I touch her shoulder lightly in an attempt to comfort her.

She jerks her head around and bites my hand.

"WHAT IN THE DAMN HELL, KELSIE?!"

"FUCK, SORRY, I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO KILL ME."

"So you bite me." I smirk and say under my breath.

"No time for humor, we need to find the others."

"What others?" I say, confused.

"You know, the gay emo cult plus Saxon." she pauses. "Nevermind, Saxon's gay now."

"So wait, how do you know they're here too?"

"Weren't you there?" she asks, just confusing me more deeply.

"Where?"

She looks at me blankly, an expression impossible to read.

"Nevermind, I'll explain while we're looking for them. Let's just go." she says in a serious tone.

Come to think of it, I've never seen her serious before this.

This is new.
