The students crawled through until eventually making it into the sewers.
"Oh God! This place smells awful!" Isabella said.
"Well it's the sewer sweetheart!" Dave said as he shined the light.
"Let's head where the water goes" Olivia said.
"Yeah, it smells better and becomes a lot cleaner up ahead, all of this is feces, up ahead is just dirty freshwater, safe to swim in." Dave said.
"Excuse me, swim?" Isabella asked.
"Yeah, that's what I said, now let's get going, lord only knows what that thing is and where it is" Dave said.
Meanwhile the Police continued through the school, unknowing of where the creature is. An officer went down a hall alone only to be grabbed by the creature and shoved against a wall. The officer tried screaming, only to be muffled by a hand. The creature opened its mouth as it's tongue readied itself. It then removed its hand and shot its tongue into his mouth, making his eyes roll back and putting him unconscious. The creature's ribs became very visible as the tongue became incredibly thick. Within seconds the creature pulled its tongue out and its body went back to normal proportion. It heard the sound of the officers in the next hall before cloaking itself, leaving the officer unconscious.
Dave continued walking as the girls followed.
"When do you think we'll get to safety?" Olivia asked.
"You're in one of the safest places you can be right, as long as that thing doesn't try and find us." Dave said as he smacked the side of his flashlight, trying to keep the light going. Rats ran under their feet after every step, they're out of breath from the running.
"What if that creature finds us down here?" Isabella asked.
"Well it shouldn't, smells so bad in here if I were it, I wouldn't want to try to come here" Dave said as he continued walking.
Meanwhile in the Boy's Bathroom at the high school the creature went up to the hole, dragging two bodies with its tail, smelling it. It's head perked up before growling, quickly entering the hole.
The officers continued going through the school, their weapons at the ready, All with weak knees and the anxiety of something watching them. An officer walked into the principal's office and noticed all of the graffiti and vandalism.
"What the hell happened in here?" He asked himself. Within seconds of him looking he was grabbed and put against the wall by nothing. His rifle magazine was pushing into his chest, the invisible force shoved it at hard as it could, putting the magazine through his chest, including the bullet proof vest he is wearing. He was then let go before he keeled over and decked his head on the principal's desk and left for dead.
Back in the Sewers the group made it to an area where the water was clear.
"That's strange, normally this is filthy, well, atleast it can be easier to get through" Dave said with a smile.
"Well.....let's just get this over with" Isabella said. Dave went in first, putting his head under the water and began swimming. Isabella followed his lead, then Olivia following Isabella. The water was very clear, it's like a freshly cleaned pool or when there is nothing stirring the sand at the Bahamas. Dave went a little to the side, the water was one massive tank, nothing blocking their way or anything. Dave however noticed something....off about something up ahead. As he swam closer he realized what it was. It was slime, floating in the water as if it were a plastic bag in the wind.
