-Horror-

Sky blue sleaves, navy blue pants, and a woven red arm cardigan. Amelia stared at the big built boy in uniform that she was very much familiar with, getting back on his feet in the middle of the passage.

Only to be overwhelmed with a series of confusing emotions… At first gratification that she had been reunited with a schoolmate, albeit an unfamiliar one. Then confusion as she realized they had almost been dead a few moments ago, considering how many seconds she and Flynn had stared into each other's eyes…But that wasn't important.

Followed by Flynn's mysterious appearance ; their pursuer was no more, with the evidence that he was standing in the passage whole.

Silence…

"Run" a hurried panicked voice came from Angela, the girl behind Kelvin before he was turned into a non-living thing. Dumbfounding the group who were yet to comprehend why they were still alive and Flynn's "Oh shit".

"It's Kelvin, the bastard is coming back to life!" Panic stricken, totally uncaring to hold back her voice, filled with a wave of rushing adrenaline backed with the power of her Will, Angella pushed out the remaining three before they could react, while glancing at Kelvin riddle body with holes that struggle to get up.

"Errrrrr!" She heard him growl in a mummified tone she had frequently come in contact with in the past two days, stricken to the core she shouted out in horror, making her way out of the narrow space.

"He's turning into an Hollow!"

'Ehn?'

Appearing lost, with confusion taking hold upon his face, trying to come up with a definition of what he had just heard.

Being the only ignorant one present, he glanced towards the masked girl, the only one who seemed to notice his presence upon their first contact…

But she similarly looked rattled like everyone present… Of which was a short, pompous girl with blonde hair, a timid youth with white hair, a scowling guy who seemed to be the oldest of them, and then the ebony girl who covered face.

Without being given the leisure to take note of their uniforms as he had only managed to grasp their appearance in an instance amidst the unfolding chaos.

It wasn't that the term Hollow was a foreign word, since they had basically been taught all these things relating to the world of Bearers for the past six years… It was just that how the hell did he come with such just after he succeeded his Tribulation, his Will, his ability, he was yet to even check what these mind boggling aspect were before he would be facing off against an Hollow.

'Definitely not an option' canceling off the thoughts of face off, his mind quickly buzzed into other scenarios.

'Wait, did she just say Kelvin?' remembering a familiar face amongst his classmates…

'No, that isn't important, she said something after that…'

Drifting off into the embers of his thoughts, Flynn quickly realized something.

'Kelvin is turning into a Hollow is a presentence.'

Not knowing Verbs could be so important his entire life, Flynn refocused his attention to the narrow space of darkness embedded into the wall, same place the pompous looking shortie jumped out from…

Buzzzz! Buzzzz! Buzzzz!

Agitating and ominous, re-awakened to their nightmare, the growling Hollow that had once been their friend was instantly forgotten as everybody turned heel in the opposite direction, stunning Flynn with amazement, or rather incredulous to say.

"Just what the hell is happening, did I happen to burst into a film production?"

But just as he muttered these words, Flynn was quickly taken by a brief moment of horror.

Jam-packed tiny red eyes buzzed, making an eerie sight at the far edge where his eyes could see but flying with rapid speed.

Bang! There was a thick sound of something dropping , taking to his heels , he just happened to see a riddle rotting corpse almost exit the dark space in a zigzag manner.

'Kelvin?' this thought managed to fly past his head before he geared up his speed…

'Just where the heck was I transported to, I do not seem to be the only one rather…'

Instantly Flynn turned grim at these thoughts, feeling his surroundings flip rapid pace, roughly three times more than it usually was when they had their running lessons, a sign of his advancement to becoming a Baron… But this elation was swiftly crushed by the sense of dangers he felt.

'Wake up Flynn this is reality' He reprimanded himself as all trace of playfulness, the thoughts of him being in a movie set vanished, replaced with cold dread.

There were many things he was unable to comprehend about their current situation, but with no one to explain either to him he had to grasp every bit of information he could on his own.

'One, we are being chased by a swarm of hungry insects… '

'Judging by their reaction when they heard the buzz it should have probably claimed a few lives for them to know its terror.' Flynn thought, glancing back at the swarm as he finally caught up with the group. Bustling with more vitality than they were alongside his built physique filled with unused vigor, he looked like a coach training a group of tired trainees who couldn't keep up with his own stamina.

Quite quickly he was soon to surpass them, but then, having entered a state of optimal observation, he noticed everyone lessened their pace a bit to put him in the front, even more distinguished was that the pompous shortie leading, whose speed had been insane a moment ago was now losing to him.

'Hmmm' Flynn furrowed his brows, noticing their oddness and decided to slow down, only for his leg to sink in a little after matching a certain brick on the stone tiled passage.

RUMBLE!

Suddenly there was a crushing sound of stones together, throwing everyone off their feet as they were sent tumbling sideways and colliding with the wall. Separating the group from their pursuer, they watched as the ground started and continuously pathed open just at the edge of where the masked girl tumbled to. Revealing nothing but an eerie empty darkness that they didn't dare to stare curiously into. Because they had been pulled apart for about ten meters.

Listening to the crushing stones… There, at the other edge, they saw the swarm…
