Death Of Me - Ryden (Finished)

19.

I didn't know a school was that dark at night. I mean, of course it is, the only light was the moon shining through the windows. 

I was scared sitting here, eventhough I'm a ghost.

It's not like something will attack me but I'm a little bit afraid of the dark. Even ghosts fear.

I sat down on the floor next to Ryan's locker, if I sleep here, he'll definitely see me.

But I couldn't sleep, no, I was too afraid that maybe a dark monster, with blood on its skin will come and grab me.

It couldn't kill me though, so why am I even scared?

I sighed and leaned back. Maybe I could walk around and try to find a more comfortable place?

I stood up and hesitated at first to go further into the darkness, but I took a step forward and just walked, without thinking.

I found a window, the moon was right shining through and sighed out in relieve. Here I could see if someone comes and tries to kill me again.

I wanted to lean back but flinched aside when I heard the tapping of little feed. It was nearly silent, but I heard it.

My heart beat faster and faster, but I was petrified. I couldn't move, what was it?

The creature came closer and closer to me. The tapping becoming louder and louder.

When it stepped out of the darkness into the moon light I  think I had a tiny heart attack.

It was a small black cat, I was searching for for days.

"Tsuki! Where the fuck do you come from?", I asked her holding my hand on my chest.

She purred quietly and sat down next to me.

"Don't scare me like this again", I whispered to her.

Everything's alright, it was just tsuki.

But then I narrowed my eyes and thought...
The building was closed, no windows or doors were open and she definitely wasn't in school before, or was she?
I don't know but the question is, how did she get here?

Suddenly I hear the click of a door being opened. My whole body tensed and I held tsuki tight by my side. Loud footsteps, not comparable to tsukis, were echoing through the hallways.

I tried to stay silent, and hoped tsuki did too, but unfortunately she began to purr loudly.

"Damn tsuki!", I whispered loudly.

The footsteps stopped for a moment. My heart stopped racing for a moment I thought, it was like the time stood still.

Then the footsteps came right to our direction. This time it wasn't just a black cat. It was a human being.

I slowly stood up and walked out of the moon light, but tsuki didn't follow.

"C'mere!", I told her but she stayed focussed on the person in front of her.

"Good, Raven", an old man said with a deep and raspy voice, sending me shivers down my spine, "you found him in the forest. We have to be fast with the other kid, or they will notice."

I knew this voice well. It was Mr. Hollow.

I think my knees became weak. What did he mean with that? You found him in the forest. We have to be fast with the other kid, or they will notice.

This words were echoing through my head. Who did he mean?

I wanted to run away, but tsuki walked right in my direction, purring at me.

And then I began to run. I didn't even know where I was exactly, but I didn't care, I wanted to get away from Mr. Hollow and his cat. I just wanted Ryan next to me.

Tsuki followed, and of course the man also did. I know he can't see me, but I couldn't think straight anymore.

I saw light coming from an open door, probably the one Mr. Hollow came through. Now or never I thought running out of the building. The first thing I felt was the cold and dry wind. I immediately began to shiver.

I didn't even bother to look back, so I just ran, but where to?
I ran to the first house popping up in my mind.

Let's just hope he didn't close his window this time...
