The Subjects

Chapter 1: The Beginning of the End

It was the start of an ordinary day or so Sam thought. He was running to class, he was late and the teacher hated him. He opened the door the teacher was sitting at his desk he did not look impressed.

"Nice of you to finally join us Sam" His teacher said as Sam finally entered the classroom.

"Sorry I was printing out the homework you gave us" Sam replied sarcastically.

Sam knew he had gone too far he could see that look in Mr Prantence's eyes, that look he gave people when they said something like a smart-ass.

"Well your reward for that smart comment is a demerit now sit down"

Sam grabbed the the demerit out of his teacher's hand, annoyed and sat down.

"Now I want you all to finish questions 1-15 or they will be homework" Mr Prantence said to the whole class as he went to do some work on his computer. Probably bloody gambling. Sam thought.

Sam looked out the window. He wished he could be anywhere but here, he hated history he thought it was a waste of time, why do we need to learn about stuff that happened 100 years ago? Sam looked around the class everyone had their heads down and were working. This is so boring

"You won't get any work done daydreaming" Mr Prantence said. You could see the impatience in his eyes. At least I'm using my brain for something unlike you, Sam thought. Mr. Prantence went and sat back at his desk. Sam started on the first question but then he heard Mr Prantence coughing a lot. He looked up from his work to see what the hell was wrong with his teacher. But instead of seeing his teacher coughing into his hanky like normal, he watched in horror as his teachers eyes rolled back into the back of his head, than the whole eyeball was just black and empty. Sam sat there stunned. Is this some kind of sick joke? He looked around to see what his class mates were doing but they all had the same terrible frighted look as he did. Than his teacher started having some sort of muscle spasm and his arms were banging on his desk, his arms were flailing around thrashing on the desk like someone who was being hanged. Than Mr Prantence looked up to the class. There were gasps and some students started crying. Sam just stared I was talking to him 30 seconds ago this can't be real. But when he saw his teacher's face it was real, black holes where his eyes were, a mouth that looked like it could barely be controlled opening and closing and a face that looked like it was ripped straight off a rotting corpse. Sam just stared at the creature that used to be his teacher. The creature looked around for a while then quickly jumped out and grabbed a guy named Charlie and started to bit his arm like a wild dog. That's when the panic broke out Sam watched the spectacle,than 10 seconds after he was bitten Charlie was gone just gone, it looked like he had just disintegrated . Everyone who saw just froze than the creature started running for its next victim. People were running everywhere Sam saw a small room that he knew had a lock on it. He didn't even have time to think about the madness that just happened.

"Over here" he said to his two friends. Sam and his friends ran inside and locked the door. They just stared at each other in shock; they didn't say anything to each other they were too scared to make a sound in case that monster found them. What happened? What is happening? How could Mr. Prantence change so quickly he looked like a corpse that had been rotting for months? And what happened to Charlie? How did he just vanish? it's not possible all of this is ridiculous.

It had been two hours, they had heard so many screams in that time and they realized it wasn't just Mr Prantence who had changed.

"What's happening?" Sam's friend Jake asked. Jake wasn't dumb but he wasn't smart either he seemed to always ask Sam everything because even though Sam didn't like to admit it, Sam was actually quite smart. That's how Sam and Jake became friends because Jake always asked Sam about everything in class so they ended up sitting together a lot and talking.
