Chapter 2: D-DAY the happening

The bus came to an halt as we stood in front of our school excited for our first trip together . Before getting off the bus , I saw Azeem and Karen . Let me tell you , these both are the worse people to know in the whole grade, they are always ready to pull a prank . Putting them together is like chaos . Soo before getting off the bus , we decided to place a bet . My bag was too heavy to carry alone soo i fumbled here and there while making the bet with Meirin . 

She said " i bet 20 , that they gonna pull a prank on the guard " , while i bet 30 that they will do some shit later in the day probably in front of our vice principal , they have been quite daring nowadays! . But as we entered they did pull a prank on the guard soo i lost 30 . Meirin looked real happy with the 50 she have now . 

Welp now all i had to do is get to the 2nd floor with my heavy bag . We got to our classroom and decided to place our bags in our usual places . Meirin and Melvina decided to stay in the classroom while i went to the canteen to get some snacks . Anshiba a close friend of mine from the class next door was also standing in line to get some snacks . We decided to go back to my class to eat . 

But to our horror the moment we enter , my class teacher (a extremely rude sir who acts really nice is front of female teachers . Lol) was standing there fuming that we all almost missed our assembly time . Unfortunately Anshiba had to go back to her class . We had no idea during assembly what is going to follow . 

8:40 am : after assembly 

As we were about to sit down and our friends who were given duties were standing up to fullfill them , a sudden earthquake occured . It wasnt a large one but wasnt a small one either . We ran to hide under our desk according to the protocols when a loud bombing sound followed after that . 

I am sensitive to loud noises so my ear rang for quite a bit before everything calmed down . 

Melvina was trembling , terrified and i ran to help her up . But thats when the real thing started . The earthquake and loud noise was just a warning before the big happening . We could hear students , teacher alike shouting , crying their last cries . 

Thats when i saw it . Something i only ever saw in video games and comics . A ugly , aggressive looking monster, though without eyes making it look even more hideous. While we trembled in its sight . Our teacher whom we thought was selfish ran to protect us and died on spot . The monster who we called orc ,was standing in front of us . It felt like all hell broke loose today . Although we were silent crying , i had to be mature and get back on my feet to help others . I decided to observe first

I decided to let go of Malvina , she fell back on the floor looking at the sight in front of her , in full silence . Her senses came back to her as she was about to scream for help , i covered her mouth staring at her in horror , Meirin caught on to what we should do . She understood well (being smart like her usual self) that we should make as little noise as possible. It wasnt the time to grief . The orc (as i prefer to call it , some call it ogre but i find the word annoying) had no eyes meaning its sense of smell and hearing must be higher than us . Our instinct kicked in and we knew the moment we make a single sound , we all are dead . 

It wasnt the time to grief about the deaths but to try and survive . We knew there wont be just a single orc , the best we could do was hide behind the desk at the back trying to calm down and think logically . It was a simple decision to stay hidden and wait for actual help to arrive . Hearing people cry for help isnt easy and all we could do was wait . 

The orc was still there trying to smell a prey but about a handful of our classmate were able to survive . 

A sudden loud growl could be heard from not too far but right above us . I signed to my friend it must their leader or something cause thats how animal nature works . Thinking back we were thankful for that growl even though it was loud and ear piercing. The orcs slowly started moving away and the fear took over and we cried a lot . As the building emptied out , the smell of blood filled the air , looking at the bloody sky with a big blast . 

At that time my classmate Asher cried out loud saying " why is it happening to us, we are just students !" Azeem with a serious tone replied " its the day of judgement , we can all either die or survive together " . Asher shouted " i wanna go home ! I cant handle it " in the end we decided to vote on what to do 

We as a class werent that close together but the situation made us realize . We only have ourself to depend on , we can either be together rely on each other or back home .

 We decided to stay together in the end . Those who lived close by couldnt make it , it would be even more difficult for those who lived far away . I decided to start noting anything i could in my diary about the orc and the situation to get a better grasp . I knew it wouldnt be easy to survive as we are .
