The Principal's office
Mr.Robert Schneider, the proprietor of this high school, is sitting on his desk which happens to be the only furniture in his office.
He is staring at the zeros in his laptop which is the amount of money he gained from parents paying the school's fee.

"I am so rich" he said gleefully to himself, "okay Rob......just calm down, all you have to do now is leave these kids in the school,run away with this money and start a new life. Easy"

He closes his laptop and jumps with excitement round his office then he sits on his chair(ok fine his chair and desk are the only furnitures in his office). He spun it round and took a look out the window in his office.

He has an excellent view of the school's soccer field from his office. "Who's that" he said when he noticed a girl standing in the centre of the field, her back facing him. She has long black hair, pale skin, wearing a black gown covering her knees, a satchel over her shoulder and wearing a pair of boots.

Wait....he said like he was trying to remember where he had seen that girl. He leaned closer to the window to see the girl had a lot of dirt on her clothes like she played in a sand pit.

He gasped as he recalled the scene that happened 4 years ago. The girl turns her head back, looking at him from her shoulder, he was terrified to see her black cavernous eyes staring at him.

He pushes his chair away from the window and back to his desk.

Rubbing his eyes and trying to make himself believe he saw nothing.

He opened his laptop to shut it down but there was no use, it was powered down already. He thought maybe the battery was dead and needed charging, until the lights on the keyboard started to flicker and his system came on.

Weird, he thought he stared as the system started to reboot, then it went off. "What's going on", he kept pushing the power on button until a face appeared on the screen.

He was aghast.

It was the girl from the field, the background was pitch black and the girl came closer to the screen. He stared in awe, as the girl put her hands on both cheeks on her face.

She then digs her fingernails into her cheeks, letting blood ooze out.

She starts to scratch her face frantically, revealing her inner flesh.

She continues, blood all over her face then she suddenly stops.

As this was going on Mr.Robert was inarticulate. The screen goes off, leaving his heart racing. But that wasn't the end, the screen came on again and the girls face was fresh and healthy but her mouth was open.

ABBADON!!! Was the word she uttered with a deafening legion voice. He instantly slapped his laptop of his desk and it broke once it hit the floor.

Still struggling to breathe he gets up from his chair, "I'm leaving now, I can't comprehend all this". He heads for the door, before he could turn the doorknob someone was already coming into his office.

He stepped back to allow whoever was coming in.

The door swung open with force and it is the girl from the laptop but she looked the way she was when she had pulled a frenzy on her face. He started taking baby steps backwards.

But she didn't move. She stretched forth her hand and opened them wide, he felt his feet leaving the floor and immediately he was pulled closer to her and she gripped him by the neck.

He gazed into her eyes until his turned completely white and that's how his soul was taken. "I hope you don't mind me taking your body, I just need to address your students"

**************

The speaker made a crackled sound before they heard the principal's voice.

"All students, this is your principal speaking, I hope you all are enjoying your rooms, making new friends and etcetera, please kindly assemble in the school's gym for further announcements"

Jason and Gabriel heard the announcement, and left their room. When they left, Jason noticed the entire boys in the hostel were also heading to the gym. "Come on" Gabriel said. And they strolled down the steps.

Leaving the hostel, outside looked a little dark, Jason looks up to the sky and guessed the time, maybe 5 or 6pm. Then took a look at  the 'swarm' of students in front of him.

He could already tell the jocks, preps, nerds and whatever type of classmates you could have in a school. What really mattered was which category he fell under.

Plus the girls were really pretty. Jason kept on walking towards the main school with the rest of them and also checking out a couple of girls until one caught his eye.

She was about his height, with henna colored curly hair, wearing a yellow blouse and blue jeans with a pair of red flat shoes. Her eyes were glued to her phone surprisingly she didn't bump into anyone or hit any walls on her way to the gym.

"That's Ariana" Gabriel told him. "What....who's Ariana?" Jason said snapping out of gaze.

"The girl you were staring at" Gabriel said winking at him.

"Errr...I wasn't staring....so, you know her" Jason asked

"Nope, we've never met" Gabriel said smiling

"Then how do you know her name" Jason said confused.

"I guessed, I mean, she looks like an Ariana" Gabriel said with a grimace.

Jason sighed, he couldn't figure out Gabriel, was he dumb or just acting dumb.

In the gym, the principal was standing on a podium in the centre of the gym.

"Welcome" he said speaking to the microphone allowing his voice to be heard through all the speakers in the gym. "Please sit"

The students sat and occupied both wooden pavilions.

"Okay, good day to you all, I do have a lot to say, but I'll try and be brief......."said Mr.Robert as he adjusts his tie.

"You're all going to die"

Jason didn't know what frightened him the most, the sudden change in the principals voice or the 'you're all going to die' statement. The gym was filled with murmuring from the students wondering if it was a prank of some sort, but the were truly worried.

"Hail ABBADON and his demons that will devour your souls!!!" The principals mouth started to discharge foam and he started shaking violently.

The gym gym lights scintillated.

Ghostly wails echoed in the gym.

The principal started screaming ABBADON ABBADON ABBADON......

And he vanished.

Everything was silent.

But the screaming from the students broke the silence. Fear permeated the gym. Students cried, ran round, some to stunned to even move, like Jason.

A/N
Well, some school they ended up in......

I was planning on writing this chapter next year because of school, but someone pushed me to write it just this one before I go back.
Hey, did you notice there's a star after every chapter, is there a chance you could tap it whenever you're through 😀

Yours truly
Casey
