The Mystery Girl

Marina

The blue liquid keep rapidly moving in that small container as if someone just dabbled it very hard. Not only it's moving, it's also shining some lights out of it. I was kind of scare to touch it, consider it's state right now, but I have no choice. Who knows? It might be my way of exiting this weird place. When I pick it up, the blue liquid suddenly shine so bright that it literally blind me there. I can't see anything else rather than a pure white scene, but then it snap back to real environment around me, revealing various colors. I slowly open my eyes wide and I could see that I'm back in the abandoned room again. I look at the window and saw the outside of the school raining heavily as if it won't go away any sooner. 

BANG

Despite the heavy rain noise, I can still hear a loud bang from the other room, which is from the cafeteria. I was a bit shock to hear that, but then something came into my mind. Marina is out there some where. She might be in there.  

Having that thought, it gives me the strength to stand up right away and gathering even more strength to push the locked door. Surprisingly in my first try to open the door, it opened right away once my body touched it. I found myself forced out of the room and land on the floor outside. Even though I hurt my arm a bit, I still find the strength to get up again and run to the cafeteria.  

*Thaddeus* Marina?! MARINA?!*

I screamed once I enter the area. I notice someone from a far, standing still in the dark. Somehow the cafeteria is not completely dark like the other places in the school. Since it has lots of wide windows, it lets some light from the lightning strike to flash through a few times. Not only that, there was a flashlight flashing on the floor. I hesitated between running to grab that flash light and grabbing something else to defend myself. But I don't want to keep my eyes away from that person so I decide to to quickly grab the flashlight and shine to it real quick. 

A slim human figure standing still wearing white clothing with blood stain all over it, messy black hair as if that person just got in a fight with the other person and an unstable stance.  I stepped a few steps backward, processing my mind. Marina's slowing heading to me without even looking up and showing her face. My lips froze to even talk to her. Why is there blood on her? What is she doing? Why is she coming at me like this? The more I thought about these, the more I felt angry at myself. I keep getting scared and froze many times this evening. I know that all of these event is going to be a unforgettable and traumatizing, but I can't just freeze and do nothing! 

With all of these, I pushed my lip strength to the max and ask Marina loudly while making sure I keeping a distance from her until I got her answer first.

*Thaddeus* Why are you cover in so much blood? What did you do, Marina?!*

*Marina*...*

There are no response from her, instead she's just keep moving moving forward toward me. With one arm slowly raising up, she show something in her hand, something that shine the light back at me when I flash the light at it. I couldn't see what it clearly is, but once it shines the light back at me, I automatically have this instinct in me that telling me to running away from it. And I did. 

My whole body suddenly working  very fast, pushing enough strength for me to start running.

 That couldn't be her, right? 

Despite seeing every things, there's part of me having this tiny thoughts that it isn't her. Maybe it's just someone that look alike! That is so unlikely but it's possible! But whatever it is, I need to tell someone what I just saw. The thought of Louis fill in my mind, so did my eyes turn itchy red as I tried to keep my self from tearing up. I run outside the cafeteria and headed straight to the hall, hoping I could see someone there. The rain is just keep pouring harder and harder. I can't even hear my own feet stomping on the way, hence impossible to hear if that person is following me. I decide not to look back and just keep on running. Near the main hall, I could see someone! My hope goes up, but the fear goes up as well. I need to inform everyone of us and get us out of this place fast. As I approach that person, the lighting strike with a very bright light, bright enough to light the whole hall for a few milliseconds. The person that I thought I saw, wasn't real. It was a statue of the high school founder, cover in scratches and old blood. I remembered the statue is in front of the school. Why is it here? How can someone move a statue that was built entirely from scratch there.  Not even care for the statue anymore, I look around for someone and sadly, I see no one. Pitch black and the sound of the rain. My heart start beating fast and my chest is heavy breathing.
