TOTGA

Prologue

Inside the room is dark. No one's making a sound. It seems like a crime to open your mouth and say something. Horrific? No. It's just like that. Everyone is busy doing their business not until she dropped her pen. Now all eyes on her. Creepy as it may seem and she has no choice but to accept their awkward glances.

Butterfly in the stomach is an understatement. She felt a beast inside her ready to swallow. At first they're just staring but now, they are all moving towards her. They walk like zombies minus the blood and the deadly looks, but with their slower pace and blank expressions, make everything extra scary. She couldn't take it anymore, so she opened her eyes.

Sweat is flowing from her forehead down to her cheeks. She's panting as she touched her chest pounding so fast. It's a relief. It was just a dream.

She decided to get up from her bed and looked for her phone to check the time. It's 3 am. Suddenly she felt uneasy. She quickly recalled all the scariest things she heard about this time of the day. Anyway, she just shrugged it off and stood up instead, careful not to make a sound as possible as she could because her roommates are deeply asleep.

They are only three in the room. She knows their names but she's not close with them. She's new to this Ladies dormitory since her mother decided to send her to Alvania University, a school somewhere in Piasa. Tomorrow is her first day of class as a fourth year student and she's kinda feeling nervous and excited.

She cringed a little when she opened the door with a sound. Sounds good though cause her roommates are still peacefully asleep. She went to the restroom just across their room. The beast inside her is now in a form of liquid wanting to escape from her ureter. The deafening silence made her peeing moment super dramatic and extra satisfying. That was such a nice way to pee ever.

She was in the middle of her "while you were peeing slash half sleeping" minute when she heard a disturbing noise. It sounds like a broken door. Her senses slowly came back to her system as she bit by bit tied up her straight hair into bun but still remained seated on the sink.

She's about to flush it but a sudden scream and loud cries echoed in the whole place. With both hands on her thorax, she immediately stood up and stayed inside the cubicle. Her feet are shaking and she had a numb feeling on her entire body. She got no idea what's going on there. But one thing is for sure, it's definitely precarious.

The slow-paced steps from the outside is getting nearer and nearer to the restroom where she's standing right now and she's completely blank and scared. Without anything from her mind on what she has to do, she kept herself hidden inside the cubicle.

"QS311 Restroom left wing area, clear"

Said by a man through his walkie-talkie.

A few seconds later, the owner of the baritone voice left the place. Seems like he didn't bother to check inside each cubicle because who would pee around 3 am? That's the logic that saves the hell out of Ylle. She doesn't know what the man out there a while ago is up to and all she did was to stand still.

Right after she felt like no one's around the place, she let go a deep mouthful of air. She just realized that she was not breathing the moment she heard the man until he was gone. Maybe she's finally safe... but not outside the restroom. Loud cries and screams are still audible from where she is and she had a somewhat idea that those were from the occupants of the dormitory. There is something very dangerous going on out there and she totally got no idea what it is.
