Demon

*Kiyoko Sasaki's POV*

//April 13, 2040//Friday//

A young child told me those things. Immediately, I heard someone screaming as soon as that same child snapped both of his fingers.

"HE IS HERE!!! I DO NOT WANT TO DIE!!! PLEASE!!! SPARE ME!!!"

My eyes were closed, and I do not know what is happening. I am terrified to open my eyes while hearing my classmates who were screaming in terror. As time passed by all those screams started disappearing.

"You can open your eyes now."

I opened my eyes when the boy told me to. He had white hair, and he was wearing a black jacket. The boy started picking on his nose while grinning at me.

"My name is Ichi. Nice to meet you."

He introduced himself to me and reached his hand. I started wiping my tears on my face since I had been crying at that time. Then, I noticed that some liquid smeared my eyes as soon as I rubbed them with my hands. I checked my hands quickly, and I was shocked by what I saw.

"Blood?"

It feels like I have been slapped by reality. I looked around and saw all of my classmates' dead bodies on the floor brutally murdered to the point that all of their faces could not be recognized anymore. I was scared to ask him about what happened but my mouth started moving instinctively.

"D-did you do this?"

He looked at me with a dreadful smile and began laughing hysterically.

I thought that someone had saved me from that terrifying experience, but this is worse, and it feels unreal.

This is not an angel or a knight that saved me.

This is a demon who killed people for fun.

"Congratulations, Kiyoko Sasaki. You have proven yourself once again as one of the best."

I tried to stay calm. I know that if I start to panic, who knows what he will do to me.

"You also said that earlier, what do you mean that I have proven myself?"

"The diagnostic test that you took earlier was to prove yourself if you are greater than anyone else."

"What do you mean?"

"Aaaah, it is a pain in the ass to explain this again, and again, and again. Go to the gym. I will explain why you have survived, and what that test is all about."

"Can you just explain it to me here right away?"

"YOU ARE A PAIN IN THE ASS ARE YOU?!"

He started to yell at me when I asked for an explanation. I got intimidated by him because of the situation I am in right now. After all, he was the one responsible for killing all of these students.

Looking at his actions, and the way he talks to me, he really is a child. How is it even possible for him to kill everyone inside this room?

"Anyway, don't you want to see the other surviving students? That is why you need to go to the gym to see those people. Just like a family reunion, am I right? WOOHOO!!! Nice isn't it?"

"Wait, what do you mean by other surviving students? There are other people who are still alive other than me?"

"Well, it is not like you are the only one who is in the higher class am I right?"

I got confused about what he said. What does he mean by higher class? Is there someone else who is just like me?

I stayed silent because I was afraid to ask more questions.

"Anyway, see you later at the gym, and also, look at your phone. I downloaded the map for this school."

"How did you-?"

*BEEP*

I checked my phone, and I saw an app where the map is. There is even my student ID and information about me.

How creepy is this? How can he possibly know about this? Does Kenji Takizawa know what is happening inside his school?

As soon as I looked away at my phone The boy wearing a black hood was nowhere to be seen.

"What is going on?"

I started to cry on the spot because of what happened earlier. There is a pool of blood around me, with the corpses of the students who I was with a while ago. I need to take my time to sink all of this in. Will this be a huge turn in my life? Why is this happening to me?

"You can do this Kiyoko Sasaki, I know you can."

I took a deep breath and prayed for the souls of everyone that died at the hands of that kid. I believe that even if they did something horrible to me, they still do not deserve this kind of death.

"May your souls rest in peace."
