Truth or Dare (Satsujin Series #1) | COMPLETED ✔

[1] Day Before

J U N K A I Y O

I walked my way towards the gate, looked up at the old school in front of me. God, it looks like a mess. If this was something from the movies, I'd say it looks like it went through hell and became temporary refuge from a zombie apocalypse. I could still hear the speakers replaying one of the welcoming speeches made before the school got closed.

Welcome students to Satsujin Academy! A school for preteens and teens alike! Here, you can test your knowledge, skills...

I then opened the gate, walking inside the school's premises. The old cherry blossom trees were just a mere gray old looking decoration now. Its leaves were no longer there and there were no longer cherry blossoms growing.

As I held my DSLR camera in my hand, the speakers replayed the welcome speech in a loop.

"God, what is this? A commercial? Tch. What a school," I told myself as I held my DSLR camera and took a picture of the Satsujin Academy. The photo might be essential for later. Who knows?

The overview of the school seems a bit eerie and not to mention silent. But of course, it was pretty normal for me since it just reopened. The banner was still on top of the school as it hangs there like it was just pinned there and was never removed.

What kind of school would have that many kids when it just reopened anyway? Actually, I don't even know. Even if I tried to reason myself with that theory, I still felt like there was something off.

I tried to shook it off like was pretty normal to me but the feeling won't go away. What is this school anyways?

Being the club leader of the photography club back in the days was tough work. I have to admit, solving crime and stuff was very hard. I guess all the work paid off by going to this school. Of course, the photography club back at my school was like a crime investigating game. You're the photographer for the dead bodies and someone from the group shall be the detective.

I walk inside and saw some floor boards dirty and unpolished. Footprints and dust scattered everywhere. The janitor probably ran off, slacking and enjoying a little quality time for himself.

I can't blame him though, the school's a mess. Footsteps are marked within the floors with a little bit of dirt and mud. A mop would certainly help to clean it unless they don't have a mop.

I sighed as I walked inside the empty hallways. The sound I could only hear was my footsteps and someone breathing very loudly. A loud shutting door quickly echoed through the hallways and stopped.

Well, there goes the silence.

At the very end of the corridor, I saw something luminous. Something sharp I suppose. I walked towards it so I could inspect it but someone swiftly grab it before I do. It looked at me with its brown eyes then quickly took off.

"Hey! Comeback here!" I yelled as I followed it. Its footsteps went up hurriedly as I tried to grab on to its uniform. Once I did, it quickly got irritated.

"やめる! (Stop!)" It grabbed my hand and turned me around, the knife was just an quarter inch on slicing my neck. After a few certain moments, it pulled me back. I could feel its brown eyes staring at me as I look at the knife terrified.

"Don't you dare try anything or I'll make sure this knife will be the last damn thing you'll see." I then felt the knife leaving my neck as it lets me go, making me fall on the floor.
