Better Times || A Splatoon Story

Day XIII Hour 10

I am done with this kid's shit. It's time to give him what he deserves. "What did...you say Marie?" Marina asks, but I ignored her and walked away with my creepy face. I heard her movements of getting up. "Don't trouble yourself by getting up Marina," I said still inching my way out. I turn the corner towards the stairs when I heard footsteps coming down. It sounded angry as I heard more eerie creaks coming from them. Must be Koro. I looked around somewhere to hide, I don't have anything to defend myself with. The bathrooms were right there, I quickly and quietly escaped into there. I can't make a sound... he'll find me for sure. I slipped into a stall, still hiding. Great, now where? I thought more to myself. I looked what would be around me, finding a vent. Using my squid form, I slip into the vents and swam through them. I turn back to my original form and looked through the air vent opening stealthily, looking if Koro was under me. I listened for any footsteps, gun shots, etc., before I went on exploring through the vents. There was no sound under me, then I started crawling. The bullets sudden where trying to be shot at me, Koro must've heard me. I rushed into my squid form and as fast I could I swam off. The bullets still followed.

I found a vent opening, slipping through in my squid form. I checked my surroundings to see any sign of the psychopathic Koro. Instead of a hallway, I was back into the Student Council room. Everything was right where it was left, Marina's soon to be limp body laid still. Her lids laid closed, my heart started racing 100 miles a minute. I shifted to her body, feeling a bit better to hear her steady, but short breath. I placed my palms on her soft knuckles, "You'll be okay Marina..." I whisper. I observed my surroundings one more time, noticing the closet. "D-Don't worry... I helped her hid inside of the closet..." I turn my body to the only closet in the classroom. "Pearl... you better not die..." my fist tightens. I slid open the closet, there was Pearl curled into a tiny ball, shivering in fear. "Pearl... it's Marie," I bent down where she was cowering, her head rose slowly. "M...Marie? The hell you doing here?!" She whisper yelled. "Well, nice to see you too... just making sure your safe that's all," I miffed, smiling. "Well don't worry about me! Worry about your damn self!" Pearl growls. "Hmm okay, better put you back in the closet," I grabbed the handle and started pulling right. "Wait..." Pearl grabs my wrist. "Is Marina going to be okay?" Me and Pearl glanced at poor Marina. "She should, keep an eye on her," i grab her wrists and started dragging her into the closet.

"Pearl it's your job to make sure she's okay, you can use my socks to bandage her waist," I took off my shoes and started peeling off my thigh high socks. "You're literally gonna strip right here when someone is shooting up the school?" Pearl judges me. "Shut up, do you want Marina to live? Plus it's just my socks," I threw my socks, hitting Pearl in the face. She grabs them and slams the closet shut SO LOUD that Koro came darting down the hallway. "Dammit... thanks Pearl..." I sigh, viewing where I need to hide for now. Koro started inching closer to the student council room,  making my stomach turn. I just went to the nearest and first thing I saw and hid there. Koro finally arrived into the student council room. "Ngh... Marina couldn't got too far... too bad she's an octoling..." Koro shakes his head, and entered, taking a small peek.

"Koro just leave..." I thought, at least I didn't say it out loud. There were whispers coming from the ceiling, poor innocent squids and octolings. Oh, and I can't forget Yoko. Koro turns around and leaves, I get out of my hiding place.

I just hope...
No ozne will....

"Don't move a muscle..."
