So, of course, like any natural person, I ponder whether I should trust this guy or not while on the bus.
I decide to try and believe him.
Anyways, I sit on the bus, and start questioning things, like 'How did the guy know my name?' And 'What is an Encyclodien?'.
As the guy has said, the information wasn't important at the time.
I look out the window. Our bus had reached the highway.
As I'm looking out, I see a truck ride up next to us, and the driver constantly glancing at me.
I raise an eyebrow, suprised.
Right then, the man's eyes turn a dark shade of red, before he slams the truck full-force into my bus.
The bus goes tumbling off the side of the road, straight down into woods. The last thing I see before we tumble away is the man's eyes changing back to normal, and the fearful look on his face as his truck smashes into the ground and explodes in a flash of fire.
***
Screams. Smoke. Fire. Blood.
The bus is in a wreck.
The bodies of students lay around; some unconscious, some taken away to the afterlife.
A fire spreads through the aisle of the bus.
"HOLY FU-" I yell, but censor myself.
Blood trickles down my forehead.
The fire engulfs the bus quickly, and I'm unable to do anything but shield myself as it too explodes. Somehow, I manage to survive the blast.
No one else has.
I climb out of the wreckage, and puke, smoke filling the air around me.
I start to limp away, when a person emerges from the trees in front of me.
"Michael Starrickson," the person says.
"Come with me."
