Days went by. Or so did the people living in oblivion thought so. It had been raining tremendously over these pass weeks.
The habitants hasn't seen the face of the sun since then.
A girl is calmly watching the rain devouring the world. She seems to be a student, watching the calamity from a restraint window with an unusual calmness in her face. She linger a bit and then turned around to head towards her classroom just then to get startled by a clown figure.
" Ahh.."
" So your calmness begs to differ afterall."
" Why you–"
" No need to thanked me for this very pleasure, Alice. I already got enough hens at home." says the intruder with humour in its tone.
Alice sigh softly " Stella, it's not the best time to be doing this, okay? Besides where do you get that costume from? "
" You will get to know sooner or later. Or maybe a more later than sooner. Anyway I only came to aware you that the metal is hot and it needs to be hit it off. "
" Huh? "
" I mean the classes are about to start and shouldnt you be somewhere else? "
Alice speaks with sudden realisation " Oh! Teacher Hawk said he would be out for today. I should visit the computer lab with this open opportunity. "
" You are a worm for IT, arent you? Sure go ahead but I won't pay the price for this. Do you get it?. "
" Yeah yeah. I get it. I won't even need for someone else to open it's pocket for me. I can deal with it, have some trust on me. "
" Sure. In an hour then. "
After a few while, all the students have gathered in the classroom. It's still raining heavily. Infact, it is only growing worse with time. The classroom is already dark with thunder being the only source of light echoing through the darkness. The teacher still hasn't arrived in the classroom. Infact, no teacher has reached to the school since this morning.
The student desperately discussed among themselves with hints of unease.
" Why no teacher has come to the school? Did something catch them to the depths of terror?"
" I don't want to believe in that. But it's too paranormal to be left inside this place in the darkest hour. I am honestly ready to devote myself to God but I prey to christ to not deliver a dreadful demise to me. "
" Shut up kids. Lets just head home. It's useless to make up this stupid fantasy. It's the first day of the week. Sloth hits everyone in the morning. I am sure the teachers didn't have the courage to face this ominous rain. They are probably still sleeping at home. So let's just return and do the same.
" Well although I feel unease to admit it but I appreciate of what you said, Levin. We shouldnt let our mind wander too much. Lets just wait a while, the rain is still on top of us. Intense as it is. We can't head home now, that's the least I can say."
Aside from the conversation, a girl name Lucy is worriedly sitting at her sit. She is looking around the classroom and observing the rain from the window. After looking around for a while, she noticed 5 students are missing.
' Alice, Damian, Sam, Frank and Rose is missing.'
She thought worriedly and decided to confront it with someone. Stella is sitting at her place with the gesture of a chill bird.
She seems to knowingly disregard Lucy.
With seeing no hope in it, Lucy decided to confront matters by herself. She sneak out of the classroom from the back door. Lightning flash across the class. Stella quietly stared at the sight of Lucy's escape.
Expected darkness remain everywhere in the school. Lucy went to the staff room just nearby the classroom and pick a flashlight. She wanders through the school hall, ascending to the school corridor.
The light was cut off some days before by the rain. TV and Internet also got taken down for the same reason.
The whole world was cut off, it was also hard to say if the rest of the world has gone extinct by then.
' Quite paranoid.' she thought.
Just then she scent the smell of blood through a distance. Sweats start dripping from her neck. Her legs backing to retreat. But she pumped all her courage and went to the direction.
She soon reach the school's store room. The smell was coming from there. She could even make out the figure lying inside. She went inside the room quietly and discovered an unidentified man lying in the ground, drowned in stillness. Blood flowing all around the floor. The man didn't had any kind of cut marks in his skin. The blood was flowing out of his open part, eyes, nose and ears. It didn't seem like it was a murder. Lucy inspected the place a bit but concluded nothing.
The man was likely a thief who might got a misfortune while entering this room. But what?
Lucy finally reached the last of the corridor, but still she hasn't found the missing students or the phenomenon that is roaming around in this place ( Especially the one that cause the death of the unidentified man).
She thought of inspecting more but thought the better of it and decide to return to the classroom but she encountered a familiar figure sitting infront of the computer lab.
The figure turn to Lucy as if it was waiting for her to notice it.
" Lucy grayvert, was it?"
" Y-Yeah."
" Interesting. I am beginning to wonder what do we called the situation we are in? A cat and mouse would be quite exaggerating and unfiting, don't you think?."
