The Danger Of My Class(#Wattys2017)

Chapter 24

I was at Emily's house with Esther and Emily and we were having fun talking. Suddenly, i saw a thin hand slowly coming up from the floor and it was just in between Emily and Esther. I tried telling them but couldn't. It's like there's something stuck inside my throat and disabled me from talking. 

Since this is the case, i tapped Esther's shoulder lightly and she looked at me. She saw me in this state and started to worry as the hand started to show its shoulder slowly. "Look in between you and Emily."I managed to say and Esther was confused while Emily heard what i said and looked in between them. The hand started to move towards Esther so it must be targeting her and then planned to grab her but to where? That's what i thought but it seems i was wrong. 

The hand went right through Esther's body then that means, they can't see the hand and it's coming after me. Emily said that there's nothing in between them. So, i was right, huh. They can't see the hand coming after me and it even went through Esther's body. What should i do?

Wait... Why am i the only one can see the hand while the other two can't see? What on earth is going on here? This is strange. Why is the hand coming after me? Did i do something until it is coming after me? What should i do? At this rate, i am going to be grabbed by the hand. Why is this happening to me? Why not the others? Wait... Didn't someone said that they encounter this kind of situation before? Who was it, again? I only remembered that person is in the same class as me and it's a boy, if i'm not wrong. 

The hand is going to grab me and i am done for now... I didn't get to say goodbye to my parents, sister, friends, and teachers. Goodbye, everyone... As i continued chanting these in my head, i slowly closed my eyes as the hand come closer to me. 

Once i have fully closed my eyes and waited for five minutes or so, i didn't feel like i have been grabbed by the hand. I then opened my eyes to see the hand stopped right in front of my face and i just stared at it blankly while Esther and Emily looked at me with worried faces. I was sure they was asking me questions but for some reason, i couldn't hear what they were saying and also couldn't make out the words they were mouthing. 

Why can't i hear them? I can hear them a few minutes ago but now, i can't hear them. Why is this happening to me only? As questions kept on popping in my head endlessly, the hand was still not moving and just stayed in front of my face as i kept on looking at the edge view of my eyes so i won't keep on staring at the hand. 

Suddenly, the hand started moving towards me and it grabbed my head. I started to feel scared as the hand started to stroke my head in a gentle way which i expected that it will try to kill me by taking off my head first. The hand then stopped stroking my head and moved back to its original position and i ended up staring at it blankly again since it was just right in front of me. It's hard to see the edge view of my eyes. Oh no... What should i do? Should i move farther from the hand or remain in this position?

The hand suddenly moved back to where it came from but then it stopped once it was at the Esther's heart. My heartbeat started to beat faster and loudly as Esther was not aware of it since she can't see the hand at her heart. What will the hand do? Will it squashed Esther's heart or just stayed there and follow where Esther's heart is? 

The hand made a move and in the end, what i saw made me terrified as blood splashed over to my face and shirt and the floor started to fill with Esther's blood. The hand squashed Esther's heart and she died, really died. Emily saw Esther suddenly dropped to the floor as blood started to flow out of her body and moved a little farther from Esther. I looked at Emily with horror as she was telling me something but i can't hear her at all. She's probably telling me to move away from Esther. 

I looked at my shirt which was stained in Esther's blood in horror as the hand started moving towards Emily but stopped. The hand seems to be shaking in fear and started to vanish mysteriously. Then the next i knew was that everything was dark, i can't see a single thing but i know that i am lying down on something soft. It seems like that was just a dream as i realized that i am awake, still lying on my bed. 

I sat up and took my phone from the bedside table. I unlocked it and it was 5.26am. Again, i woke up at this time. I was about to play games when i heard some heavy breathing inside the room. I went to switch on the light to find that the heavy breathing came from Esther and she was sweating a lot. I immediately ran to her side and tried to wake her up by shaking her body but no response from her as she continued to breathe heavily. What's happening to her? Don't tell me the dream i have was real, after all?! I looked at Esther worriedly as i held her hand to my cheek. 

After almost one hour, i looked at the time on my phone and it shows,'6.24am'. Hold on... Come to think of it, she always wake up at 6.25am and just now, i woke up at 5.26am. That means, she is going to wake up the moment the time became 6.25am. I continued holding Esther's hand as she still continues to breathe heavily. Is she having a nightmare too? If yes, what kind of nightmare is she having?

When it was 6.25am, Esther opens her eyes slowly and saw me sitting beside her. "What's wrong, Sis? You don't look happy."Esther said with concern. "Nothing's wrong. How about you? You are sweating."I said worriedly as Esther told me that she have a nightmare. So, i was right that she was having a nightmare too. But, there must be a reason as to why the both of us would have nightmares. Could it be somehow related to the deaths of our CCA friends and the upcoming death of the extra student? I don't know but i'm sure there's someone in our class encountered a similar situation or exactly the same situation. Who was it? Again, i don't know but i know it's a boy.
