Practice cancelled

Everyone sat in confusion, band practice had never been called off early like that. Even so, they all exited the field and began packing up and started calling parents. Ms. Yuri turned around and began packing the drum major stand onto the trailer so she could take it to the back of the band room. Her eyes changed back but her anger and frustration didn't. As she made her way into the band room she made her way into the band office and sat in her chair and put her elbows on the desk and leaned on it with her hands covering her eyes in frustration.

Ella and Zach walked out of the band room along with Danny who was wide eyed and shaking. Ella walked with a bit of sadness. "Avelyn has called for a sectional...at her house." Ella said as the three walked out of the hallway into the commons. "L-Lindsey hasn't called a sectional at all...we are waiting for it to happen." Danny said gripping his sleeves. Ella looked over at Danny "I didn't know that you could talk your always so quiet." Danny didn't say anything. As they walked outside, Emily stood by her car waiting for Danny. She smiled when she saw the freshman walking towards her. "Hellos Danny!" She said leaning on her car. Danny smiled, "Zach, Ella, this is Emily, Emily this is Zach and Ella." Zach smiled and said "hello" while Ella remained silent. Emily smiled as a response to Zach. "Danny your spending the night with me." Danny nodded as he put his instrument in the trunk of her car. Zach and Ella then waved goodbye as they walked over to their cars. Ella then pulled him a side. "Listen, no matter what I will always love you Zach, even if Ms.Yuri is a demon that we know." She said Zach nodded "I love you too." Then something then came over Zach's mind 'kiss her' it said. He listened to that voice, and pulled her closer to his chest and kissed her. It was only on her forehead , he thought that it would be not good to move that fast. After all, they had been dating for four weeks. She then smiled and blushed and walked away to her car. Zach then realized what he had done and walked over while face turning red as he got into his mom's car. His mother smirked in smiled "You little dare dog you" Zach tilted his head "what?" His mom started the car and drove off the campus before say anything. "You kisses her dork." Zach turned red "so?" She shrugged. "I don't know, what happened that I needed to come here and now be late for work." Zach sat in shock. "I'm so sorry, someone..." he then stopped because if he had continued he would let out a secret, but he had to act quick as well or else she would think that Zach was lying. "Had a seizure on the field."

"Who was this?"

"You remember the baritone player right?"

"Be more specific Zach, you have a lot of baritone players."

"The skinny tall one with blonde hair and glasses."

"Ah her? She shouldn't have gone after her surgery I told her not too when she was in."

Now Zach sat in confusion. Since when had Catherine gotten surgery? "On what?" His mother then turned into the driveway of their house. "On her back, she apparently had been in a car accident and neglected to tell her parents after the crash that her backs been hurting." This was news to Zach. "I always knew Catherine liked hiding things." His mom nodded getting out of the car. "Yeah, she also is apparently going deaf." The more that the information cams the more concern he was now. Zach got his things and went into the house as he made his way up the steps Charlie was sitting on his bed wagging his tail ferociously and barking with delight. But as soon as he sat on the bed his mom was already out the door. It was only one fifteen so he might as well have some lunch.

When he went down into the kitchen his mom began to call him. He answered as he began making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

"Hello?"

"Zach lock the doors!"

"Why what's wrong?"

"A man dressed as a priest is going mad!"

"What? What do you mean?"

"He's screaming about demons lock your doors."

Zach quickly went to each door and locked it and shut every curtain to make it seem like he wasn't home. He then continued to make his sandwich when knocking came from the door. He froze unable to move, Charlie began to bark, and with a quick grip he grabbed Charlie's nose and held it down. "Shhhh...." he said to his dog. The knocking became more louder as he finished making the sandwich he then went upstairs to his room. From his window he could see the porch but he dare not open his curtain. His mind was twisting with questions, could it be the Father John?, if so why come here, is it because he knew? The knocking stopped and then a loud voice boomed. "I know you're in there boy!" Surely enough it was Father John. Zach sat on his bed holding tightly on to Charlie as he sat there eating his sandwich. Then a loud bang came from the door down stairs swinging open. "Come our boy I know your here tell me all about her and I'll let you go. " Then loud thuds came and it grew closer until the door swung open. The priest stood wide eyes and hair all messy as if he ran a marathon. Charlie started to bark and growling ways that Zach had never heard. The priest threw the dog to the floor but Charlie now almost as big as a normal mountain dog was began to bite down on his leg. The priest began viciously kicking until a loud snap was heard and Charlie went flying and hit Zach's desk and fell to the ground. Then the priest came on to Zach holding him down until half way to lifting the boy to his feet he stopped. Something began tearing threw the father's shirt. As a black, blood cover, claw like hand stuck out between the middle of the two of them. Zach feared what might have been on the other side of the priest. Then in moments the man began spilling blood out of his mouth, spitting it all on Zach. As he was thrown to the ground, his organs began to spill all on the floor with the blood soaking the carpet. On the other side was the demonic teacher, with hate filled eyes and blood splatter on her cheek. For the first time Zach knew what it felt to fear the demon.
