Demon

Escape

The second Calum left the theater, I slipped through the door behind me.

Shutting the door quietly, I was in the left wing of backstage.

Tip toeing while running happens to be quite hard.

Staying quiet and out of the line of sight, I slipped through the door Calum had left open.

Pausing at the threshold, I peeked around both corners, making sure Calum was nowhere in sight.

I could still hear the hissing of my name off to my right, telling me exactly where he was.

Sliding against the wall, I went left, going away from Calum.

I needed to stop somewhere to call Ashton.

I had no idea what his class were, well, except 1st, but that's because he has it with me.

Heading to the closest bathroom, I argue to myself about going into the girls or the guys.

Calum wouldn't check the guys, why would a girl hide there?

That's exactly why he would check the guys bathroom, he would think that you were trying to "outsmart" him.

Groaning in frustration, I chose the teachers bathroom, which happened to have been left open by a teacher quickly leaving.

Closing the door behind me and making sure it's locked, I left the light off and unlocked my phone.

Deciding against actually calling him, I quickly texted his number.

Calum is the intruder!

I got a reply a second later.

Make sure you're hidden and STAY PUT

Getting irritated, I text him back hastily.

I WILL NOT STAY PUT! Calum came to MY school to get ME! He is endangering everyone I cannot just sit by and wait for him to hurt an innocent

His reply didn't come right away, so I decided to think about how to get Calum out of the school.

I could always get him to see me and then run out of the building, he would follow in chase.

I shook my head.

It was too risky.

I could just run and leave an obvious trail so he would follow without hurting anyone.

Before I could think of anything else, I got another text.

Fine, I'll help, where are you?

Thoughts after thoughts ran through my head.

I thought about where Cal could have already searched.

He would have had to pass the cafeteria to get to the auditorium, and if he took a right and I went left, he's probably already upstairs.

Meet me at the end of the math hall, I texted him.

I don't know what exactly the plan is, but Ashton'll help me.

I run quietly from where I am to the cafeteria.

The quickest way to get to the hall I want is this way, but I have to cross the wide open lunch room.

I paused and looked around.

Should I risk it?

Should I risk running through the cafeteria and Calum seeing me?
