Chapter 5

We started leaving the room trying to be quick but found our pace completely bogged down. There were just too many people around us now. By now everyone was leaving classrooms and panicking, so people were moving around in the wreckage of the halls. Plus the visibility not being that great slowed them, in addition to now wanting to bump into stuff.

So are we refugees now?

I began to think about this simply. My trained mind helped me stay calm. All I have to do is worry about the basics. I can help Rina, Yumi, and Asakura. But I can't help everyone. Let's see... the basics are FOOD, SHELTER, FUEL, and CLOTHING/INSULATION. As long as I provide that for the others I can keep them alive while we figure out other parts of this world.

In many ways, I felt sorry for the other people with us who didn't know this basic concept that I knew.

Many of the students had horrific looks on their faces when they saw me carrying a bloody axe. In fact, it created a lot of terror and people gave me a wide berth with dozens of students flattening themselves against the walls.

Everyone was staring at me. But not many of them dared say anything. But then as we tried to clear away they got bolder and I realized many of them hadn't actually seen or knew what had just happened in the room. I heard dozens of voices whispering too, "why is he carrying a weapon?"

"That axe is bloody?"

"Why is the axe bloody?"

"So the rumors about them finding those escaped convicts hiding upstairs were true then," someone said.

"I missed that part, we were hiding in a classroom."

"We saw the dead escaped convicts though..."

"I saw the fighting. They kept us alive."

"What were all those screams for, coming from that classroom?"

"I saw the prison jumpsuits they had. They were all roughed up. And they had blood on them probably from killing guards before they came here," we heard people talking about what we'd seen first hand.

Not everyone had seen it since some people had been hiding away.

The voices continued, but I tried to ignore them. Turning around I saw few kids were following us for security and protection using our wake as a shield, behind Miss Asakura and Yumi, who were carrying Rina while I protected them. At least Rina looked conscious, but somewhat sleepy eyed and tired. I had a line of students as if I was the teacher it seemed.

"Why are we following a bloody guy with an axe?" someone asked, but the others hushed him up.

"I don't know, but he's the only one that knows what's going on," I heard someone else say.

"If there are bad people here then you'd want to follow the guy with a bloody axe wouldn't you?" someone asked.

That shut them up.

"Shun, it's not safe to be in the halls, I think. People are going to be so afraid they'll start trampling each other," Yumi called back nervously.

"Yeah, we have to find someplace safe," I said.

"Do you have some idea on where to go Teacher?" Rina asked weakly.

"Hmm let me think. If we could leave the school then maybe....you know the textbook emergency situation plan doesn't work because we don't know if its safer inside or outside of the building. It would have you meet out on the grass outside the school normally. But the problem is the outside area might not be safe either. If this really is a different world. I wouldn't normally have believed that except for the 2 moons...," Asakura said.
