Be With Me | Mr. Mysterious

Chapter 10 - The Unknown Species

Amane's POV:

As we were studying, we lost the track of time and by now it was already evening. The library was dark. We couldn't see anything. "Guys stay still. Don't move!" Zach said. We heard some shuffling now and then the door of library open. I was about to call them saying we're here but someone put their hands on my mouth and shut me up.

"Amy! Don't make any sound. We don't know who they are.." Noah told. What's that supposed to mean? Obviously they're teachers from our school right? But I had no idea. It was pitch dark.

Honestly this much dark scared me. Tears slowly welled up in my eyes. "Hey! Don't cry.." I heard Noah say.

"What? Amy is crying?" Zach asked.

"No! I'm not. Don't worry I'm fine." We were whispering when we heard someone of them say "The voices are coming from there" Literally I had no damn idea which direction they were pointing but it scared me.

Noah ducked below the table and pulled me with him. "Amy come here. Let's hide in this corner!" Zach pulled me. But Noah didn't seem to leave my hands.

I was being pulled from both sides. I left both of them and moved to a place which I felt was corner. "Amy! No!!" Zach whisper-yelled. "Shh!" Someone slapped their hands on Zach's mouth so he was shut.

I started shivering with fear. Tears started falling one by one. Slowly I wiped them and tried to avoid making any noise. I could hear many people walking around. Just who are these people? I sighed lowly. I wanna go back home. I felt the urge to cry louder.

Suddenly I was wrapped between two pairs of strong hands. I felt safe and protected. The warmth radiating from these hands were calming me down. Then he put the index finger on my lips and told "Shh! Don't make any sound. They'll hear you. Just don't talk or cry right now, Alright? Don't worry I'm here." It seemed like Noah's voice but then again no.

"Noah?" I whispered at him. No reply. After sometime came "Yes?" "Can we go back home?" My voice cracked. He immediately hugged me tight. He was patting my back in a soothing manner. Slowly I drifted off to sleep.

I opened my eyes to see myself laying on the bed. Someone was holding my hands and sleeping. Where am I? I saw down. Then I noticed it was my mom. I shook her slightly and she woke up. "Amane! You're awake!" She sat up straight and moved closer. "How do you feel? Are you hurt anywhere?" She looked so worried.

I chuckled. "I'm alright Mom!" I hugged her. She finally calmed down. "One of your friend dropped you off and told that you fainted at school. I guess he told he was Zach? Maybe..." She shrugged but with worry filled in her eyes.

"Ah... that I'm not sure mom but i must have dozed off. That's all" I smiled. "Do you want anything to eat? You have been sleeping since long!" I turned to look at my bedside clock and saw it was 1:00 am. It's this late and my mom was still beside. I felt so warm inside and told her "It's okay Mom. I'll manage. You can go and sleep!" I softly pushed her from the back to her room.

"Bu-" she was about to say. "No buts and all Mom! Sleep!" I laughed at her. She gave a slight nod and then went.

I went to the kitchen and grabbed some apple. This will do for now. I jogged back up to my stairs. Suddenly the memories of the other day came flooding in my mind. I chuckled. Today Lynn and Lee were sleeping and I want scared of ghost too. I'm so silly. I shook my head at myself.

I placed my hand on the door handle to open the door to my room when another pair of hands was put above mine. "Ahh-!!" I screamt half but my mouth was pressed shut. Why does this have to happen to me always?
