After class chapter 7: Day and Night all around
S C H O O L F E S T I V A L !
Today is Madison High’s School Festival! Everyone’s in a rush for preparations and all are having fun. Also everyone even parents are welcome. Our class is preparing for the parade “Day and Night all Around” it’s a costume parade and well, I’m wearing a zombie suit and unfortunately so is Kim my partner (sigh) -_-
“ARE YOU MOCKING ME!!” Kim really lost it, but it’s decided on draw lots so he couldn’t do anything. After saying that and receiving a lot of nonsense complaints from him I pushed him outside our classroom and talked to him while walking in the hallways.
“There’s nothing we can do, so just leave it be!” I said to shut him up.
“Tsk why THIS of all costumes? What a pathetic servant and director you are.”
So ANNOYING! “Shut up, you’re the ONLY ONE that complains EVERYONE LOVES IT!”
Suddenly I felt a hand in my shoulder and heard an unknown voice whispering
“The real problem starts when the night falls down.”
When I turned around no one’s there. Only a window was left open and everyone around us was acting normal. Actually what that person said is true this festival will end up at 7pm and the sun is sleeping already by then...
“What happen?” Kim asked
I looked out to the open window left by that stranger, felt a chill breeze and know that this is a sign of badluck. As I look around I saw our “secret base” under the big old tree, in the corner of the “little forest” and it’s pretty much hidden.
I saw something and looked a little closer and...
“LIA!!” I rushed down the stairs hurriedly and went to the big tree, Kim was following me. There we saw, our friend Lia was hanged by a rope.
I was too frozen to call for help, it’s terrifying but Kim just put her down unto the ground calmly and checked her pulse, she was not moving or breathing!
He pushed Lia’s back real hard and there was something that came out of her mouth.
“Cough, cough” Lia was coughing with blood.
“Lia! Are you ok now?” I asked as I handed out my handkerchief.
“Who did this to you?” Kim asked
Lia had a deep breath and took that “something” from the ground. It was a rectangular small metal box.
“I’m fine now.... thank you Master Kim and Alice” she smiled. How can she smile after that!
“A while ago...” she continued “I received a letter from my locker saying that a person wants to meet me in the middle of the forest and wants me to go alone.”
“STUPID! It’s obviously a threat, why didn’t you told us beforehand?” Kim shouted.
Lia was offended, her voice was shaking when she replied “Because my friends saw the letter and thinks it’s a love note, I knew it already but knowing my friends, if I don’t go there, they will go and I could put them in danger! So I decided to face “that person” alone.”
“And then what happened? how did you get hanged? More importantly how did you survive?” I asked, because no matter where you look at it, she could have been dead by now.
Kim answered my last question.
“Listen, a skilled person is always ready. Ninjas are trained to survive such situations. What you saw back then, the small, rectangular box. She placed it inside her “inner” mouth (the upper part of the esophagus) so that the rope wouldn’t fully choke her.”
Oh, so that’s why Kim hit her back real hard.
Lia’s explanation:
“I’m sorry Master Kim but even though I always carry the metal box, I wasn’t the one who put it inside my mouth... When I got here alone someone from a long distance (I guess a sniper) was supposed to shot a poisonous arrow on me, good thing I dodge it.
I examined the arrow and let my guard down as another person from my back inject me some drug. I couldn’t move and even though I can see, “that person” that attacked me was wearing a mask.
All I know is that he is a male, has a dark hair and judging from his voice and built he is older than us for about 3 or 4 years.
When I couldn’t move he placed my metal box in my mouth and hanged me, after that I lost consciousness. My life was on his hands.”
It was a threat, that stranger purposely let Lia live for what reason?
After Lia explained to us what happened to her, she looked at Kim for a second and asked me if I could tell her classmates that she’s going home for an “unknown” reason.
Minutes later (after going to Lia’s class) I went back to the classroom alone because Kim said that he is going to check his family along with Lia.
Sighhhhh... -_-
They have a secret and didn’t want me to hear it.
“Hello? I’m involved already so why keep a secret?!” I shouted hell loud, I don’t care if everyone hears me! I’m mad at them!
Lia POV:
As we departed from Alice both Master Kim and I went into the storehouse, we were alone.
I told him what the stranger told me:
“To your eyes I’m around
To whirl the world’s end”
That stranger ... he has a voice that is ready to conquer our fear.
