Calum's POV:

Honestly I was in a little bit of shock, but I wouldn't go as far as saying I was scared. I'm not scared of anything and I was raised that way. But I was shocked, and I was panicking a little bit because anybody, even myself or Luke could get shot. I looked at Luke who was shaking and panting with fear, and it hurt to see him like that. I pondered my hand towards him and held his hand. "Luke...I'm here. We're in this together" I whispered to him. He slowly nodded and squeezed my hand a little tighter.

Before we knew it, a tall man with a thick Russian accent, barged in with a machine gun with a few others behind him. He started shooting up into the air, causing students to gasp and duck more. "Keep quiet and don't move! Otherwise we will shoot you! We don't want to hurt anyone so keep quiet." As he spoke, one of Chuck's slim redheads screamed as loud as she could, and the main terrorist wasted no time in putting a bullet in her. I covered my eyes with one arm because I couldn't watch somebody get killed like that. "DID YOU THINK I WAS KIDDING?!?" He screamed as the screaming teenage girl fell back into her friends arms and died there. "No, i wasn't kidding! I want you all to shut up and not make a sound! We don't want to kill anyone, we just need information." He sat down. A few more terrorists barged in dragging the head teacher and sat him down onto a desk. He spoke to the main shooter who threatened us in Russian so I couldn't understand. Apart from the kids who can understand Russian there was no telling what he was saying. "What information do you need, Sir?" The head teacher asked him. "Information about these kids parents. Before this place got fixed up after the last attack, I assume most kids parents went here right?" The main guy asked.

Well shit. I knew my dad went here but not my mum, and I had no idea that there was an attack beforehand. The head teacher nodded. I just hope he didn't want to hurt my dad or anyone else's parents. "Well done of those students happened to be Australian spies. That's why we attacked. They're the reason why both my father and my business partner died."
Jesus Christ.
I never knew my father was a spy. I hope he wasn't anyways, surely not! He would've told me! I hope....

"Um...I am unaware of the incident where you stated that the students were spies. I did not know about that..I'm terribly sorry for what happened." The head teacher said in a sympathetic voice. "Therefore, to get the right information needed, your students must be held here. They must stay on campus and not go anywhere else until all information about these students are gathered." "And um..how long will this take sir?"
"It could take over a month depending on how many students. Plus all tests on students must be done and we will have to count each student regularly so we know none have them have escaped. This school is surrounded by guards because we must and I mean must count them every six hours. We will check their dorms and try not to disturb their sleep. By the way, my name is Vlad. Short for Vladimir." He raised his shoulders up to make himself look more powerful. "Well Vlad, I'm the head master so come to me if you have any questions or queries." The head teacher said as Vlad gave a serious expression. "oH don't you worry, we will do. We also must organise these students into different rooms, we want them to be in groups of four. I shall count them, and then they have no less than twenty minutes to gather their things and I want them back in here, if not, I shall shoot three students.

He counted all of us and I immediately did as I was told. Luke and I packed all of our stuff, and ever so luckily, we were sharing a room with Frank and Dougie. The room was the same sized but seemed smaller as there was more of us in there. There was a small bathroom and two sets of bunk beds.
I decided to have the top bunk on the right side, just above Luke. I unpacked and lay all my things on the floor and slowly organised them as Luke, Frank and Dougie did the same.
"Well at least we're all together. We could've been with strangers." Said frank. Dougie nodded in agreement "yeah I guess you're right. I just can't believe this is happening...we're being held hostage by Russian terrorists..." I sat on Luke's bed next to him. "Hey guys...it will be okay." I said trying to keep positive. Before anyone could answer, one of the terrorists banged on the door and barged in straight after. Well. Come in. You're ever so welcome to. "Collecting all mobile phones! We can't have you contacting the outside world!" He said with a large bucket. we all did as we were told and threw them in. Shit. I didn't even get chance to call my mum, or text her to let her know what was happening. Although, she's a massive worrier so it was probably best for her to not know. As soon as I thought about my mum, I knew it. I was scared. I finally admitted to myself that I was scared shitless of these guys and what they may do to either me, my family or my friends.
The terrorist left with an angry expression in his face. I sat back down after handing in my phone. "I hate to admit it guys...I never ever feel like this but I'm scared.." I admitted. I didn't feel all that embarrassed because I knew they did too, but that's the first time I've ever said something like that. "We all are, but look on the bright side it's only a month or so before this whole thing finishes." Dougie sat down on his own bed. "I know but what if we say the wrong thing and we get shot? Or what if.." I started to whisper "what if they find out that I like guys? Not to be stereotypical but they might not like the idea of homosexuality or bisexuality..." I frowned. I was also thinking about luke, since he also likes guys. But I didn't want to come out for him, that was his business and only his business. "Then you just gotta keep quiet and be careful about what you say and how you act around them." Frank said. "I guess..." I mumbled as Luke sat next to me again. I put my arm around him, not wanting to be clingy but to show how much I care about him. Dougie rested his elbows on his lap and placed his hands around his chin, holding up his head. "We are so fucked." He said.

After a couple of hours, we decided to get into bed and sleep. Maybe sleep can take our mind off things, as people say. It was about 23:00 and Dougie was snoring AF in his bed, and Frank was fast asleep normally. I didn't deal with snoring very well but may as well put up with it since I was going to be sharing a room with them. I lay wide awake in my top bunk until I started to hear a whispery panting noise.
It was Luke crying.

Well, I finally got the terrorism in the story! It took so long😫😫but I hope you're all enjoying it!💗💗
Just so you know, I have nothing against people from Russia and I only chose Russian terrorists because I wanted to avoid the stereotype that all terrorists are Islamic. Anyone can be a terrorist regarding nationality or race!
