Chapter-6: When Shall The Bell Toll For Us Humans?

"Hello??Earth to Miley??HELLO?", Rex was furiously waving his hands in front of the purple haired girl, while she just stood their dumb-founded, staring at me.

Ok I know I didn't shower, but I didn't think I looked that bad.

Rex, gently turned his head towards me and a smile came up on his face. The smile of the devil himself. He jumped high and landed a light karate-chop at Miley's head.

"Arh!"

She slumped down while patting her head with both of hands, light tears welling up in her eyes.

I turned towards Rex who looked pleased with himself, "That was just...fuckin mean bruv.", I said," I mean, what happened to all the manner-stuff from 14 minutes ago?"

"Oh, she's a old-friend. She'll understa....",

Rex kind of disappeared before his statement was completed. I turned around and saw him, face-planted about 5-6 meters away, opposite to me, the purple-haired girl had her leg out-strectched and had kicked Rex in the chin. She also seemed to have regained her composure.

I whistled as I took my wallet out and gave her a 5$ bill, confusing her more.

I chuckled as I pointed down and said, "For one hell of a display."

You can say what you want, but I had been taught, never miss any opportunity .

I saw her go red in her face but then her composure changed.

I could see it in her eyes, Fear. She was afraid of me.

I sighed and began to walk past her towards the classroom, as I was passing her I whispered, "A wolf shouldn't be afraid." I had a grin on my face. This could be interesting, It was possible that I could have met her before in my past. I try not to remember the people I kill, they tend to try and drag me down.

I quickly walk towards the classroom and to get my bag. Some of the students were there, along with Jess. I walked towards my seat and picked up my bag, and saw Jess staring at me.

"Where's Rex?", she asked.

"Outside, someone named Miley, Miliy, I don't know, kicked him. He was saying your name so I came to get you.", I could see her eyes go wide.

In a dash she ran towards the door, shouting Rex's name at the top of her lungs.

Young Love is something, isn't it?

I slung over my bag and began to walk towards the door, I stopped. The bag was lighter than I remembered.

All I had in my bag, were 3 books, 2 projects and a gun with 2 mags.

I don't care about the first two item on the list, the third one was-could be- a problem.

Fear ran through me, my heat-beat rose. I could feel my left thigh getting wetter. The wound was seeping.

Ok, calm down. Gather, analyze then react. Not the other way around.

I have gotten rusty if this is how I react in a situation.

That's when I heard it, a sound that made my spine shiver.

It was loud short burst sound, with a bad reverb. The sound a .45 makes.

The sound a .45 inside a building makes.

Kids started to scream, some confused, some running out. But I got up and ran towards the sound.

(Riko Hibana's Perspective)

Everyday is the same. Unbearable, and excruciating. Each moment hurts and it doesn't help I see them, the dead. Sometimes, in places, sometimes on people. Hauntings, I think they're called. I have two of them too.

I woke up as I remembered I had to got to go to school, I didn't want to. But the alternative was to stay at home and spend time with my uncle.

I had a life was, I thought as I undressed and went inside the bathroom to get a shower. I slipped the curtain aside and stepped in, turned the shower head on. I was greeted with a blast of hot water. In a few minutes it became unbearably hot, but I didn't flinch. I know he wanted to see me flinch, I wouldn't let him. After Five minutes of this, I got out. opening my bedroom closet, I took my school-uniform out. It was a white-shirt, with a short blue-skirt. It once had been long, but was now shortened out. I looked into the mirror as I changed. I had a pale skin, was 5'6 with a small chest figure and green-hair, I had always been problemed with how I look. But now, my skin was adorned with certain scars on my back and stomach. I pushed all thoughts out as I got ready, for both school and what laid ahead.

I gently opened the door, and tip-toed downstairs. Downstairs, it was pitch black. I let out a sigh as I gently walked towards the door. I slowly put on my shoes, not wanting to make a sound when suddenly I became blinded by a white-light.

He was awoke, and had found me.

I grabbed my bags and ran for it towards the door and was successfully out.

The day had begun.

I had been living with my uncle for 6 months now, my parents had died in a car-crash while coming to pick me up from my friends house. They were always with me now, their spirits-black shapes that never left me alone. And on top of that, my uncle, he was always nice to me from the start, I always remembered him as uncle Edwards, the giver of sweets and toys.

But who knew he had this side.

I snapped out of my thoughts as I got to the school.

It was a old- fashioned castle. It's dark red walls reflecting the sunlight, making them shine even more. In my childhood, I had imagined living in a castle like such, as princess ruling above all, fair and just. Alas, dreams don't became real.

I got to the classroom in a hurry. Almost everybody was in their seats, except the third-last seat was empty and the second from the first.

The second from the first was mine, was it the new kid's seat that was empty?

I really didn't know and I couldn't care less.

I went and took my seat.

Almost everything was routine. The big eye outside our class peering at everyone that came and went, at one point even a minotaur rushed inside the classroom and just before break, an old Company Sergeant's came in shouting-"To the canteens!" I liked these ghost a lot, they were nicer than the humans here.

I was hungry as I hadn't eaten anything since yesterday evening. So I was about to make my way towards the cante- cafeteria when I saw a kid rush out with Rex(he is the class's celebrity) run after him. The boy seemed to have toppled his bag before leaving, I saw Jess and Miley talking and Miley motioned to the bag. She bent down to pick it up but dropped it and ran after Rex.

Jess was pretty chill with this. She just started chatting with other people in the class.

I was curious at this point and slowly went to check out the bag.

Inside were 3 books, 2 binder-files.

And a Gun.
