The darkness surrounding me receded and-
Thud!
Thud!
Thud!
The moment it did, I heard loud footsteps coming from behind me
Not wasting any time, my legs started running on their own, I didn't dare look behind me to see how close it was to me as I was afraid that turning around to check might make me slower and give It a chance to catch up to me.
Grab!
"Agh!" I yelped astonished by it's speed
'I-it grabbed me?!' Even though I was running at full speed, It caught up to me regardless and grabbed me by the Nape?!
I was even more Astonished because I even got a head start
It used it's other free hand to grab my neck and threw it's body at mine, causing me to lose balance and fall down
Thud!
Its liquid hands were sizzling and my skin burned, as if it were boiling water
"AGK!"
A scream desperately tried to escape my cold lips, but it couldn't, every single sound I tried to let out would stop at my burning throat, every time I struggled to escape, the burning sensation only got more horrid
Spasms occurred in every inch of my body, desperately trying to break free from the creature's grasp
I then realized my mistake of underestimating those liquid-like lifeforms, but it didn't lend me any time to catch my breath and proceeded to choke me with Intense force.
"Kugh!"
Dong~
Dong~
Dong~
I could hear a bell in the distance ringing along with-
Trrr
Trrr
Trrr
The school's...
Thud!
Tok!
I heard footsteps coming from everywhere,
No they were running, desks were heard toppling and falling down to the ground, as if they were rushing
"Agh!"
I tried to desperately shake off the monster choking me but it instead started choking me with even more force than before, My vision started to become hazy and then-
Thud!
Thud!
Thud!
Thud!
I spotted another monster in the distance as my conciseness started to fade in and out coming at my direction with incredible speed
Death loomed over my head as it approached closer and closer like a guillotine's blade
I closed my eyes in resignation, giving up and accepting my fate
Crunch!
"?!"
However. The monster had done something completely different than what I had originally expected
It-
'bit one of it's own?!'
Cough!
Cough!
I started violently coughing and gasping for air, all the while questioning why that liquid burning monster had attacked and took a giant bite on one of it's own kind
Splurt!
Dark Red Blood started to spurt uncontrollably out of the wound the monster was inflicted with
I stood there dazed and my face paled at what I had just witnessed, eyes shaking with terror
'I know I said that after their schedule ends they'd have a moment of freedom but this?'
Looking around me, I saw a similar scene
Crash!
Thud!
Crunch!
Tear!
Spurt!
The scene of these monsters tearing, eating and killing each other with me on the floor questioning what is happening
'It's...an all out free for all'
The monster that was close to choking me to death lied there, weekly resisting the monster that attacked it
'No wait! I can't stay here any longer!'
I can think, question and understand what's happening when I'm alive but that is not possible do that while being eaten alive.
Moving my numb legs, I got up after catching my breath and started running, narrowly missing the monsters feeding on their own kind
"Huff Huff"
Bang!
Getting shoved to the wrecked wooden wall, a red tinted colored creature tried to use its claws to attack but
Crash!
A punch was sent straight to its jaw, breaking and crushing it completely
Strange liquid came out of its body, It trembled and wiggled around pathetically, I felt a tinge of pity tugging at my heart at the sight of the one-sided combat, the small and petite horned monster didn't feel the same way as me however
BANG!
Like a watermelon, what looked to be his skull, was utterly crushed
Dark red bone fragments touched the soles of my shoes
Ba-Thump
In a heartbeat, it was in front of me, ready to deal the same attack it had done to the one before me
Thud!
However, because it was focused on killing me, the small horned creature was left guardless against other threats from behind
This time, as if it were karma, the horned creature was grabbed by the collar and thrown to the wall, completely decimating it in the process, the figure that had 'saved' me stood before me
A faceless tall lanky figure, devoid of any color stared at me for a few seconds, as if it were judging if I were a threat to it, if I needed to be eliminated, then its colorless body took on a deep color black, as if it had seen enough and judged that my being here was not a threat to it
Crouching, it went inside the destroyed wall, readying its fists and buckling its legs to fight
My trembling feet moved on their own and ignored all of the carnage that was ensuing
Not looking behind me, nor to my sides, my quivering heavy and pained legs glided through the blood stained and wrecked flooring
Reaching the stairs, I started to go down the floor rushing, my neck stung and burned
Caressing my neck, I felt it sting more and more as my lungs burned running
"?!"
I abruptly stopped as my heart started beating louder and faster than before, my stomach dropped to the bottom
I felt something that shouldn't be felt, flowing through my hands caressing my neck
'blood...'
Bright red blood had stained my hands and it wasn't a small amount of it either
'that monster....not only did it choke me and almost killed me that way but it also used it's nails to dig into my skin!'
I also felt blisters on my neck, the air pregnant with a charred burnt smell
"I-I'm not gonna die because of this right?"
My voice cracked, pupils shaking and quivering, a cold breath left my dry mouth
'no hold on, if I still haven't collapsed after this much running then it's nails shouldn't have dug that deep into my neck'
I continued running hoping that I was at least right about this
Rushing down the stairs until I reached the ground floor, I ran through the corridor getting closer and closer to the exit
'There is a lot more blood here'
As opposed to the previous floors I had been in, the ground floor was a complete mess with blood being splattered against the floor and walls
'But no bodies?'
There was a lot of blood, excessively so, even forcing me to start breathing through my mouth in order to avoid the disgusting smell that permeated through the corridor
However there were no Bodies in sight
Whilst thinking why there were no Bodies, I realized before long, I had reached the exit
The doors were noticeably in perfect condition with not a single drop of blood close to it as opposed with the rest of the school
Opening the door, I inhaled the cold air in and started running to the large gates that were now open in the distance
Crash!
A piercing shatter echoed in my mind
Thud!
I looked behind me and saw the monster masquerading as a student running at an unnatural speed
Unfazed even as its arms twisted and bended in grotesque ways, not towards me But to the large gates, almost as if desperately trying to escape.
Crash!
Crash!
Thud!
Thud!
The other monsters started to break the windows and jumped out of them and started running towards the gates
Just like the other monster, they were also unfazed by the injuries they sustained by jumping out of the window like the other monster
"I don't even know at this point"
I stopped doing something as fruitless as understanding the situation and ran with the flow instead
Crash!
Thud!
More and more monsters started to jump out of the windows and started running towards the gates like the others, some had bumped into me while running but they didn't pay attention to me like before and instead focused on the gates
My eyes glimpsed at the tall lanky figure running by me, it seemed to have sustained some injuries, however it appeared victorious in its battle
"Huff Huff"
It had already reached the gates, skillfully maneuvering through the harsh terrain
Me on the other hand?
"Kgh!"
I was stumbling, falling face flat to the ground
'Damn it, why is the pavement so wrecked!'
Forcing myself up again, I ran towards the gates once more
By the time almost all the monsters had reached the gate I was so out of breath, that I started slowly jogging my way to the gate, my heart beating so loud that It was the only thing I could hear in my skull
Fortunately I had already been close to the gate, nothing was standing in my way and no strange beautiful voice rang out while I was about to pass the gate.
Step
'What happens if I pass this gate?'
Would I return back? outside of the school this time?
Step
Or would my body get mauled to death by those strange like creatures?
Step
Each step felt heavy, my eyes unfocused, saliva flowing through my cold lips, trickling down to my burned neck that started to hurt more and more as time passed
Step!
I took one final step
A step that had reached and passed the gate
My lungs and mouth gasped for the cold air, I started sweating profusely
Raising my head, I stared at the red sun with the 'fake' moon next to it
Everything around me, my surroundings, the sound of my mouth gasping for air, the thumping sound I heard in my head, ringing constantly
Were all engulfed in a gentle darkness
