first appearance (ch-4)

More and more yelling were heard, the other classes were in chaos as well. The cried as they say their friends being targeted one by one knowing that they will be next they tried to run but was killed.

"R-run out." Esna got out of her seat, so did Lavi and Mel. Esna grabbed her metal water bottle which was on her desk and ran out the class, successfully as they slammed the door shut and locked it from outside.

Lavi teared up, looking back to her classroom...

"L-lavi... Give me your phone. N-now, I'll call the others..." Mel panted, she was sweating hard trying not to fall behind. Her phone was inside her pocket and because she had a lock, it will take time to open, Lavi had her phone open so her's was a better option.

Lavi quickly gave her phone to Mel. She immediately pressed the call button, the whatsapp chat with Vincent was still open so to waste no time she called him as fast as possible.

Esna didn't look back, still grabbing on Lavi's hand so tightly so she wouldn't fall behind and get caught. "Mel, fast, tell them... to just run out to the streets... we'll pick them up"

"But—" she called Vincent, but there was no time to argue the decision Esna made, she knows what she is doing. As soon as Vincent picked the call up, he shouted Lavi's name.

"She's ok, we're all alive... G...go out on the road, Esna said, we'll meet and don't cut the call."

they ran down the stairs, skipping 2-3 stairs to hurry down to the ground floor

Vincent heard what Mel said, he didn't like that idea of going to the streets... Those creatures appeared in the boys academy first 'Make sure my sister is alright' He said in a loud voice. He too, with his friends, they ran out of the buildings.

"The bus, we're going to the bus and picking them up." Esna huffed as she wiped her swear with her wrist.

They reached the front entrance but.

They slowled down seeing the amount of those creatures right outside the bars, thankfully, they weren't seen.

"Shit... back entrance."Esna pushed Lavi ahead, letting Mel and Lavi go first. "I'll take some things... I'll catch up.."

"You better be alive!" Mel yelled, running besides Lavi, running for their lives to a the bus. Any bus with the keys still there will be fine.

"Why is this happening now..." Lavi mumbled to herself, confused.

"This was... the biggest twist ever..." Mel breathed heavily, the path to where the buses were was clear, but the two didn't dare to slow down.

They were very far from the building now, only a few steps away from the bus but Mel was worried because she still didn't see Esna behind them "Is, Esna coming?" She gulped as she glanced behind her, she saw a dot, that dot turned into a figure... It was Esna right behind them.

The bus door was open, it gave Mel an opportunity as she jumped inside before the others. The key was there, she checked the gas and it was fortunately full, she immediately started the bus.

"Esna, fast, let's... get going." Using her forearm, Mel wiped her whole face which was drenched in sweat.

Lavi told Esna to go first and so she did, with her entering last, she immediately shut the door and locked it. Esna sat on the driver seat, she started the bus and immediately began to drive to the exit.

"Wait... is the gate even open?" Mel questioned Esna, slowly turning her head to her.

"It is, I went to check..."Esna grinned, she was glad she did that, but she was also nervous.

The bus wasn't that big, it can most likely be called a can though it was slightly longer.

"Hello? Vincent? Are you there? hello?" Lavi repeated with her phone to her ear, restlessly waiting for Vincent to answer back. She suddenly beamed, it appears that Vincent answered back.

"Lavi, come and sit here. put the call on speaker I want to hear." Esna called Lavi over to the seat besides her. Mel decided to keep an eye out, standing near the door as she looked out.

on the other line, Vincent spoke.

'The fuck is going on?! You sure it's a good idea to run out to the streets?!'

"E-Esna said so, I'm sure it'll be ok" Lavi answered to Vincent, there was concern in his voice as he spoke.

'Yahoooo guys!' That voice, it was Kallisto. He didn't sound scared at all he was sounding like the happiest guy alive! 'Soooo!? where are we meeting again!? I'm pretty excited for this.'

Mel sighed, Kallisto was always like that. Laughing in a serious situation.

'Come fast will you!? We already have three of those freaks behind us!' Vincent yelled.

Some other voices in the background were muffeled, not clear at all. "Uhh, Guys, we just crossed y'all school! I think we see you!?" Esna leaned to the phone. "three of em behind you!"

'We know! The bus, you guys?!' Vincent asked, he most probably looked back

"Yeah! That's us, Mel, the door!" Lavi responded, turning to Mel but she was already ready with the door open and grabbing onto the handle. "Already ready..."

"Lavi, the fire extinguisher, use that to blind those creatures and give me the phone." Esna slowed down a little as they were close to the boys. Lavi nodded, keeping the phone on Esna's lap while she opened open window and prepared the fire extinguisher.

She waited for the right time, and right when it came, she opened the fire extinguisher and sprayed it on those creatures faces which made them slow down and fall way back.

"Get in!" Mel extanded her hand, the last in line, Seto took her hand and jumped. Followed with the others they all entered the bus.

"Vincent." Lavi smiled, happy to see her brother well as she jumped on him and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"... Sister-in-law, where are we going?" Seto spoke first, trying to catch his breath as he sat on the seat right behind Esna. Esna replied by saying she doesn't actually know know where, she just needed to get together with them.

"Wait you guys, who's he?" Mel shut the door, looking at another boy who was behind Kallisto. He looked more scared and nervous than the rest, even more than Lavi...

"Oh him? We just picked that nerd up since we met him on the way." Vincent responded to Mel's questions on who that new boy was.

"U-um... I'm Caesar Lopez... I hope I'm not being a burden..." looking left and right, nervously introducing himself as he scratched the back of his neck.

"Forgot introduction, our main goal is to survive." Explained Esna in very short words how their main priority is to survive. "Uh Vincent, you sit in the driver seat since you know how to drive. Just go somewhere like behind a house or apartment and park it there."

"And what, we sleep stay in the bus for today?" He scoffed as he got up from the bus floor and walked to the driver seat and took Esna's place.

"Correct." Esna replied. It was obvious... where can they go? The bus was currently safer than any other place. "I stole some things and kept it in my bag, it'll enough for today and maybe tomorrow." She continued, her bag was stuffed with numerous things. She pulled out around six or eight curtains!

Seto sighed, but he was amused on how Esna fit that inside her bag "How did you fit that inside your bag?"

'Oh, is that why she let us go first?' Lavi thought in her mind.

"Kallisto and Caesar, help me cover the windows." She called the two to come closer, they needed to cut the curtains in half since there wasn't much windows and they were small as well.

"One curtain can cover at least three windows right?" Kallisto smiled, taking a curtain from Esna's hand and gave one to Caesar.

"Here, scissors." She tossed scissors to both and told them to begin cutting them "There is another black tape in the last zip, tape them on every corner."

She walked to the front of the bus with one curtain in her hand, a black tape and scissors in rhe other.

"Let me help." Lavi spoke, she was trying to put those thoughts aside... she couldn't get the image of her classmates getting attacked out of her mind. "We'll cover the door as well right?" and Esna nodded, she was glad that Lavi was trying to put those memories asides and focus on other things instead.
