The Demon Who Was Never Heard Again

Chapter 2 - Break Time

Florence's POV:

In the middle of the morning class, I thought to myself about some things I would never forget, I was just zoning out for a couple of seconds which makes me unable to focus.

I'm not usually a bright person in the morning because recently my mood is being down. It's been rainy for the past week which makes things a bit gloomy. I haven't been able to go out, as the rain and winds blow strongly... really, it's an extreme weather.

My emotions have just changed a bit ever since those boys mistreated two poor innocent, dirty, teenage hand-size kittens out of the school as if they were some children's dolls. They were just premature kittens and even barely able to survive on their own, I say that's a trauma for me.

After some tiresome class, break time is finally here and many students went downstairs to go outside. I walked down to the stairs and went outside to sit on a wooden bench which is far from my classmates.

"Hm?" I glared at two girls walking up towards me while I was sitting on the bench.

"Hey, Florence! You look down lately," She asked with a worried expression.

"Yeah... Are you okay? Did something happen?" Another girl also asked.

"Oh it's just nothing," I replied to her question.

Serene and Camilla- Right, haven't introduced them yet. These two girls are my close friends. Serene, she's... trying to be understanding... She is still trying to understand my thoughts on theories or dreams, I'm not an oneirologist or anything. And for my theories, she still insists that she helps me with it.

And for Camilla, she's a girl who really cared about me. How do I say this... She's the best emotional support friend. Y'know like whenever I'm sad or anything, she would just cheered me up. Other than Serene who tries to be understanding, Camilla usually enjoys listening to my honest thoughts rather me trying to keep it to myself.

Later then I felt a certain tapping on my head, "Florence you there? You daydreaming?" I snapped back into reality.

"Huh? Sorry... I've been tired or sleepy," I replied.

"Girlie, have you gotten enough sleep last night?" Camilla asked.

"Yeah, I do, but still tired for some reason..." I answered.

I immediately felt like someone is watching me and my dear friends, I instantly rotate my head to look at the trees that kept the shade and the sun away, my brain barely reminded me where I got chased by an unknown person in my dreams...

Just then, a sinister laugh was heard in those trees, it was like an inner voice messing out in my head. Out of nowhere, I saw some sort of tall slender-like man, a plain flora red hat and clothings were covered with blood, and the remains of someone. I observed that this person also have this crimson red slenderman tentacles. Then... that person glared at me. My heartbeat was fast, faster than it ever has been. I blinked for a second, It was gone. 

Who is that? 

Why is that person familiar and has an odd... look? 

My mind is filled with many, many thoughts and questions.

"Guys..." I looked at my friends, stands up and made a short run which made more far distance.

"Hey, what's gotten to you?" Serene questioned.

"Can I answer your question later? We just need to find a better place to sit?" She quickly nodded and go inside the school and into the hallway.

"I think we're safe now, I do NOT want to deal with whatever I saw outside!" I walked to the open door and go inside my class with a strong expression.

"Relax, Florence... Why not you just tell us?" Serene tried to calmed me down.

"Alright, alright. Look I don't know if I'm having hallucinations or anything, I mean I never experienced once..." I told Serene.

"Go on," said Serene.

"I think I saw a tall person, looks like MiniToon but red and they're like watching us,"

"That's why I told you to go inside the school with me before there's a problem," I explained.

Then I continued, I told my friends the person's appearance, the impression when they look at me and the position.

"I'm sorry but... Is the person a stalker or something?" Camilla asked a question once again.

"Flo. No offense, maybe your right about you having hallucinations, like your mind was just playing tricks on you,"

"I think you've seen way too many things lately... Perhaps you're just stressed by the first day of school or your lessons! I'm not trying to mislead you or anything." Serene disappointingly sighed at me.

"Look, You don't have to believe me or anything, just... do whatever you can" I said to her right before class started.

She looked kind of upset after she said those things towards me, but I don't blame her.

Whoever that person that stared at us made me have a bad feeling.

RING!
