He's already half way down. His eyes are darker than they were before. He comes in finally.
"Didn't you see them coming in? We can't close it until they're all in!" Gyeongsu says.
"Is it wrong to say to close it?" She asks.
"Is your own survival that matters?" Gyeongsu asks.
" I can't stand you, stupid welfie." Nayeon says.
Gyeongsu hits her pushing her into a chair.
"... I would've been fine..."
"... Doesn't mean you should do that, Alastor."
"I don't care as much as I used to."
Welf sighs and pulls the duo out. They turn back human. Alastor hands us each a bento box of food. We eat.
Ms. Park asks, "Are you guys ok?"
All but Alastor nods. He seems despondent. We sit down. He doesn't answer.
"Are you ok?" I ask.
He sighs and says, "I'll... be fine."
He still must be upset about what happened. He smiles sadly. I sigh. He looks away. I look out the window. It looks like everyone's turned!
"Hey, you haven't ate yet."
"..."
"You should really eat." Gyeongsu says.
"..."
Dad: damn it! Seojun I promise I'm trying my best. There's this crazy zombie curse that this teacher Mr. Lee said he thinks he accidentally introduced to a school, it turned out to be a demon curse and now he needs my help it's insane on both ends.
Seojun: A demon curse?
Dad: yeah. I've been up since 3.
That's crazy! Suddenly the hose starts shaking like crazy! The tip hits the window. It startles us all.
"Did someone not make it in?" Gyeongsu asks.
"No we're all here." Cheongsan says.
It shakes so hard that the tip breaks the window. Alastor looks up. He's shaking and twitching again. He pushes Onjo onto Welf. He whispered something to I-sak before she disappeared... did he promise to protect Onjo for her?He must have! We all get back but Cheongsan is going closer to see what it is. Suddenly a zombie falls down the window. Cheongsan grabs a brook stick but doesn't do anything. Suhyeok runs up and asks, "What are you doing?"
He grabs the broom stick accidentally hitting Gyeongsu in the face and pushes it. Then Cheongsan and Gyeongsu go help him. It grabs the windowsill.
"Gyeongsu push it off!" Wujin yells.
Gyeongsu quickly tries to make it let go. It grabs his hand. He starts freaking out luckily he's able to make it let go without it biting him. It still doesn't fall. Gyeongsu grabs the computer monitor and throws it at it making him fall.
"We do." I say.
Suddenly Gyeongsu's nose starts bleeding.
"Hey you. You were bit weren't you?" Nayeon asks Gyeongsu.
"Huh?" He asks.
"Your nose is bleeding." Cheongsan says.
He wiped his nose with his finger.
"Oh this this was because Suhyeok hit me with the broom." He says. Grabs a tissue. Alastor nods.
"I saw that too. It makes more sense because I don't see an actual bite mark."
"I saw everything. I saw it grab your hand." Nayeon says.
"I was closer. It didn't bite him," Alastor says starting look angry the ends of his hair twitching from black to dark red and his eyes going from brown to teal.
"Ya what's that on your hand?" Nayeon asks.
He looks. It looks like a scratch.
"This is when I threw the computer monitor saving you all!" He says.
Cheongsan looks at his wound.
"It is a scratch. Whoever wants to look can." He says.
Suhyeok looks and says, "it's a scratch I'm sure of it. Come look Ms. Park."
Ms. Park looks, "I don't see a bite just a scratch thank goodness."
"Are you satisfied? I asked are you satisfied?" He yells at Nayeon.
"Hell, you try to take everything don't you?" Alastor asks, "If you're still so concerned, let's just give him thirty minutes. If he's not a demon zombie thing by then, that means he wasn't infected and you owe him an apology."
"What do you mean by trying to take everything," Welf asks. Alastor doesn't answer. He just marches over to the computer and pulls up a video. We watch.
"Hellooooo! It's me Alvo! And this is Life of a Teenage Werewolf School Edition!"
We hear someone laughing as we see Alvo. Alvo is a brown furred werewolf with bright purple eyes. He reminds me of that one boy named Alvo.
"Anyways! Since I can't give away personal details about myself or pack you'll just get some loose info with PowerPoint imagies okay?"
We continue watching. We watch until the end. He turns to the recording studio where Gyeongsu was put.
"Okay it's been thirty minutes."
"You remember your promise don't you?" Ms. Park.
She nods. She goes in messing with something in her pocket.
Gyeongsu's POV
I hear Nayeon say, "Hey."
I don't respond.
She yells,  "Hey! Are you ignoring me?"
"Unless your here to apologize get out." I say.
"How's your wound?" She asks.
"Why do you care?" I ask.
She grabs my hand. She rubs her handkerchief on my hand.
"I was mad earlier. I'm still mad." She says.
"It's ok let's get out of here." I say.
I stand up.
"It's not ok. Our complex banned you welfies but you still cut through. Stay a full hour although I hope you don't come out." She says.
She starts walking out. I go after her but Daesu and Ms. Park stop me.
I say, "You really are..."
She turns around. Alastor reminds me of someone but I'm not really sure where I've met him. The eyes are what I remember though. The teal eyes and brown hair with red ends... that one demon like thing that let me sleep over at his house! Is he the one that let me do that? He smiles and nods.
"I did," I hear him say but it's not out loud, "it's my real form. The one where I let my humanity dissipate but can still fight to feel human."
"Really?" I ask.
He nods again.
"I couldn't hold onto my human form for long periods of time when I was young."
I nod.
"Why are you so mad?" Daesu asks me.
"Because of what she said!"
"... Why does it matter that he's on welfare? He's just as valuable as you maybe even more," Welf says, "You ran away from I-sak when she asked for a helping hand. Gyeongsu risked his life to help protect you!"
"I didn't do anything wrong." She says.
I sit down next to the window Suhyeok Daesu and Wujin stand next to me.
"You promised you'd apologize." Ms. Park says.
"Why must I take that?" I ask.
"What if I'm right? Then will you admit I saved you?" She asks.
"If you don't shut up and eat your damn food I force it down your loud ass throat."
"Look see if I'm right or wrong." Nayeon says.
Cheongsan's POV
We look at Gyeongsu. Oh no his nose is bleeding and no one hit him this time! This can't be happening! He stops eating and asks, "What?"
Alastor quietly forms a flame from his hand. He turns to her and says, "You are a snake."
"You're nose is bleeding." Daesu says.
He wipes his nose and looks at his finger.
"See? You still think I'm wrong?" Nayeon asks.
He looks at his hands. He gets up shaking.
"Hey. What's wrong with me? Something's wrong with me."
Alastor starts to fly. He grabs him and shakily flying. He disappears out the window.
