RING~RING~RING
I slammed my English textbook closed,buzzing with last day of school adrenaline.
"YES,FLEE THIS WRETCHED PLACE"a classmate boomed beside me,as others cheered while others simply flashed out the door within a matter of seconds.Our teacher gave him a half-hearted glare through his narrow lenses,but showed no sign of nearing punishment."Sief, can we be sophisticated for once?"
"Sorry"Sief squeaked quickly.He packed up his supplies,and bolted out the door."FREEDOM~"
Trust me, I was just as hyped up as he was for the last day of school,but unfortunately one single barrier stood in between us students and whatever summer had in store for us:and that was that last period.I was halfway out the door when a voice called from inside the classroom."Simon,come back in here,will you?"
I made in complete U-turn,to face the aging man with smile wrinkles that could make your grandmother look like a porcelain doll.
"Yeah?"
"I want to give you something before you leave,well before I retire this year."He sighed,obviously weary of having to leave hundreds of his students behind,but he mustered up a fatherly smile and said"I want you and Dereck to keep in touch,oh-and your parents to keep in touch with me,too okay?I want to remember them."He opened a drawer and slipped out a piece of folded paper."I'm getting pretty old...and your folks were wonderful students...you know,let them know when I hit the bucket..."
"Of course."I said,trying not to feel a bit uncomfortable with this.Mr.Lowery was a great teacher,no doubt but I didn't exactly feel the mutual friendship he and my parents had-probably because the only times we would talk was once a month about how my older sister was doing in college or how my parents were handling my uncle's arrest several months ago.Neither topic was very heartwarming to me.
As if on cue to cut off the tension I was feeling,the speakers above crackled to life.
"Amber Alert.I repeat Amber Alert."
At that moment the hallway outside exploded with chaos of screaming students,but I could make out a specific shrieking louder and higher pitched than the others moving closer to the school entrance.The rapid screaming was followed by a series of shouts.
"They're here!"
"We're gonna die!"
"What's happening?!"
"They're upstairs!"
"SHUT UP AND OPEN THE F'KING DOOR, YOU IDIOTS!"
"C'mon we have to go!"I said ,yanking the classroom door open,letting the muffled screaming sharpen.
"No,no...you go first, I have to get something really quick."Mr.Lowery mumbled, calmly making his way across the sun-lit room.
I stared at him in disbelief,but wasted no time sprinting down the corridor with only about a dozen students left, scrambling to get outside.I stopped,hearing a pair of oddly calm footsteps making its way down the staircase from the second floor.
It's got to be...
I ducked under the stairs,a split second before the footsteps reached the last flight of stairs leading to the first floor.Then, Another pair of fast footsteps came running down the hallway,accompanied by frantic breathing which came to a stop-right at the base of the stairs.
Oh god...
Right above me,was the sound of a low pitched laugh that echoed eerily through the the now empty building.
"Look at this~"the voice cooed in amusement.
I could feel by its raspy voice,that he was smiling.Just the thought of what the its smile looked like,sent chills down my spine and into my trembling limbs.My numb legs agree.
"Slow,weak,puny little thing you are...scared to even run or scream.Well...my charming face has that effect,doesn't it?"It's chuckle bellowed at its victim's soft whimpering.
What do I do?!What the hell?!It'll find me here eventually...
I kneeled there, risking a peek past the concrete staircase and caught the sight of Samantha Thornhill petrified there,like she was Medusa's victim.Her skin became so sickly pale that even I began to wonder if she turned to stone.For whatever reason she had been the last one out-not including me-I guessed the only people left were the two of us, with the help either outside or coming,most likely too far away.
BANG!BANG!
To my shock-and relief,skull shattering sounds of gunshots rang from upstairs.
"I guess the Calvary finally decided to-HEY!!!"
Little too late,I was running as fast as my feet could've possibly have, with Samantha easily shrieking past me,down one more elongated tunnel of a hallway to the glass entrance that would soon be rammed over by two teenagers running for their lives.
"It's locked!They locked us in!"She screamed,jerking the iron bars frantically,as the thunder rolling behind us seemed to be catching up.
"Ca-cafeteria exit!"I shouted,as both of us ran once more across the commons to the opposite side of the building to find the exit there.
"Not unless they locked that,too!"
Now joining the creature chasing us,was shouts of several men and more gunshots,which didn't seem to be helping us, as the it just seemed to urge it to run even faster to tear us to shreds.
"JUST RUN!"
The voice's last words would've gone along the lines of"I died with some indigenous because my fast food refused to stop running" if the 'help' didn't stop making it run even faster.But, there was some hope, when it stopped, as if suddenly finding the people bearing firearms a more interesting lunch choice. That didn't stop the two of us to bravely escape death.Correction:we refused to stop running in the shell oof a body that was left,since all remaining sanity took flight along with a load screaming and uncontrollable cursing.
If you get killed...I will drag you back from the pits,and kill you myself.
Even as I felt that my legs and lung was collapsing, I ran so,so hard that I didn't notice at all the man with the shotgun turning the corner.And I assume he didn't have the time to contemplate blurry figures running towards him because next thing I knew,a wave of tepid fire on my body took away all the pain away to an abyss of unconsciousness.
