A Shocking Discovery

•- Tia's POV •-

"RUN!!!" We started running in the hallway towards the gym. *panting* "I swear to God if I die like this, I'm gonna haunt all of you!" "Then start running faster!" We ran and ran until... "Ow!" I slip, my shoelaces accidentally tangling with eachother. Michael and Anna turned around and ran back to me.

"Tuck your shoelaces in the shoe, and hurry up!" I tucked it in quickly then Michael grabs me and we ran towards the gym. "Shut the door!" SLAM "Take some of those chairs and place it in front of the door!"

We barricade the door as we hear the Giant's footsteps getting closer. "This will only hold it for a bit, we have to get going." "Okay." We exit the gym and enter the school garden.

(AT THE SCHOOL GARDEN)

*Heavy breathing* "Wait...Stop...I need a few minutes." Anna said, panting. "Anna, we can't stay here." "I know but just give me a few minutes." "But--" Michael grabs me.

"It's fine, let her rest." He lets go and I decided to walk to the shed.

"Huh?" As I get closer I see chains wrapped around the shed door. "Guys, can you come over here?" Michael and Anna quickly ran towards me, Michael tried pulling on the chains. "This won't work." He looks around and sees a crowbar. "Don't tell me you're about to use a crowbar."

"Well sorry to break it to you but it's the only way." Michael lunges and hits the chains, breaking it. *Exhales heavily* "Are you alright?" "Yeah." Anna opens the door and a corpse falls out. "Ah! What the hell!" Anna jumps back. "That is so gross!" Anna wipes her uniform.

"Let me do it." Michael drags the body away. "I cannot believe you just did that." Anna raises an eyebrow in disgust. "Well, it wasn't gonna move itself." "Whatever, let's just get this over with." We went inside the shed.

"Woah, we could survive with the weapons in here." I pull out a few tools. "We need to hurry." "Yeah, those things might catch us." "I agree." After taking enough tools we went back inside the campus.

(INSIDE THE SCHOOL)

"Ahhh!!!" Students came running as a monster wielding huge katanas follow them. "RUN!!!" We joined them and we went inside the science lab. SLAM! We all exhale deeply.

"Barricade the door and dont get close to it!"

"Why?" "Are you stupid?! You're gonna get stabbed or even worse sliced!" The students argue as they try to figure out what to do.

"I-I can't do this anymore!!" A girl pushes past everyone and exits the lab.

"Jessica, no!!!" A guy chases after her. "Stop! We have to stick together!" We all follow them outside within a safe distance. "Have they lost their minds?!!" We watch as the monster comes up behind them and slices them in half. "Oh my God!!" A girl falls, shocked at what we just witnessed. *Cracking noise*

The monster slowly turns in our direction. "Everyone, get inside!" We all went back inside, and just in time before the monster catches up starts to destroy the door

"Everybody, please calm down!" We all look frantically for a way out.

"This is bad! This is really really bad!" A group of students panic until they suddenly enter some sort of hypnotic state. "What are they doing?" We all back away as they form a circle around the tables. "What are they going to do?!"

They each grab a beaker, break it, and stab themselves with it. "Ahhhh!!!" "What the f*ck?!" "We have no time! The monster is about about to break in!" We all stared at the door and saw that the door was completely destroyed but, the thing is the monster wasn't there.

"Wh-where did it go?" We glanced outside and the monster was actually gone. "It's safe." We all went outside and started to discuss. "What the hell just happened?" "Yeah, why did they kill themselves?" "Is it some type of rule or something?" "Correct." we all heared a voice behind us

"Huh?" We all turned around and saw the principal. "Mrs. Apple?" we all looked confused by now. "But didn't you die?"

"That was a fake." Everyone chatters. "Fake?"

"Yes." "Do you know why this is happening?" "Why of course, who do you think started all of this?"

"What?!" Liam's eyes widened and he grabs Mrs. Apple's collar when he suddenly also becomes hypnotized. "Liam?" James grabs his shoulder but Liam pushes him away. "Where the hell are you going?" Liam walks to the glass closet full of the trophies we won. *Glass breaking* "Ah!" Liam smashes his head against the glass and it breaks.

"Liam stop!" His teammates try to stop him but he resists. "Dude we said stop!" Liam turns around. "Finally." Liam grabs a broken glass shard and stabs James in the arm. "Ow!" "James are you okay?!" They look at Liam. "Have you lost your mind?!"

Liam turns around, grabs a trophy, and starts to bash it against his head. "Liam stop!" "I can't watch this!" Some of us keep watching as Liam bashes his head with the trophy and soon he dies and falls.

"Liam! Liam!" His friends shake him, trying to wake him up. "Liam..! No..." Tears drip down from their faces. "Why did he kill himself?" "It's a rule I made." "What rule? And are there more?" "Yes." "Then tell us the rules." "You will have to find out for yourselves."

She walks towards the broken glass shards.

"What are you doing?" Mrs.Apple grabs a broken glass shard and slits her throat. "Ahhh!!" "Rules..." I grabbed Michael's hand. "What? Why are you grabbing me?"

"I think I know where the rules could be." "Wait are you serious?" "Yeah i'm sure of it, just come with me." "What about Anna?"

"She'll be fine." We dashed towards the nurse's office.

(IN THE NURSE'S OFFICE)

"There it is!" I take a piece of paper which has the school rules written on it. "There." I pointed at two rules. "No violence and no holding hands." It then hits us. "Liam used violence against the principal and the group of students that panicked held hands." "Let's write every single rule." We grabbed the nurse's pens and wrote the rules.

~Time Skip~

"Done." *Gasp* The curtains open and we saw James with his friends. "What are you doing here?" James asked as his friends sat him down. "Wait aren't those the school rules?" "Indeed it is." "Are those the rules Mrs.Apple was telling us about?"

"I think so."

"Then let us see." They looked at the rules and the others eyes immediately widen.

"Why? What is it?" "Leaving the school grounds without consent is a rule?!"

"I mean yeah, it's kind of obvious." "But..."

"But what?" "I thought we could try and leave..." "Don't tell me you..." "I…Told them to try leaving…" "Including..." "Anna!"
