The Start Of The End
"Now the test is being passed out. Don't talk or I will cut your test in half". Mrs. Hall snapped.
Her eyes scanned the students for any of them that would snicker or even breathe to heavy. As she didn't find anyone, she begin to pass the test out to all sixty students. She got to one student and looked at him with a sadden look. She placed the paper firmly on his desk and walked off to the next student. Of course, He knew why she did that. He was the one who didn't get such good grades in her class. Balancing on a seventy one and Sixty nine. He flipped over the paper and looked at all the equations with a sicking look. It always made him feel dizzy as he tried to answer such questions in the little time span he had. Glancing back, the teacher was slapping down the test to the last kid whispering something to him. He looked away on time as the teacher begin making her way to the front.
"You may begin". She spoke.
Everyone begin doing their test flipping pages and erasing mistakes. The boy stared at the first question for a fat ten minutes before trying to solve it. Just as he picked up the pencil, he heard the teacher speaking over him.
"Take your time Damien. You have three days you can come back and finish, so take your time".
She walked off to another student giving her encouraging words. Damien sigh and tapped his pencil on the desk. As that wasn't helping him remember anything, he looked towards the massive windows. Five large windows were up against one side of the wall. There were no coverage since the windows were too big for it. He watched about three people rush by into the teacher parking lot that he knew was to the left. Then five students rush to the right where the student parking lot was. He wished he was that busy to be able to do things like that. But of course, he was stuck in the classroom taking a test. His eyes strayed from the window to the two doors on the left side of the classroom. One said Exit, and the other said do not enter. The last kid that opened that door was banished and not a soul have seen him again. Not even his friends.
"Are you thinking or trying to cheat"? The teacher asked.
"T...Thinking"!
She nodded and went back walking towards the front. For them to have so many students, she was fast to go speak to all of them quicker than he thought she would. He looked down at his test and randomly selected an answer before moving to question two. That seemed even more difficult than the first. A deep sigh escaped him before he skipped the first page and went to the one in the middle. He sigh once again and looked out the window. But this time, it was different. Instead of the steady movement of people, it was rushed. He could see some of them had fear across their face as they rushed. More teachers begin feeling out the building rushing to their cars. Confused, He raised his hand for the teacher.
"Mrs. Hall". He called.
"Yes Damien".
She stood and begin walking his direction.
"I know I should be paying attention to the test but, what's going on out there"?
His question made all the students turn their heads to see what was going on as well. Mrs. Hall stared rather surprised and walked towards the door.
"Remain in your seats! I will be right back"!
She left out the exit door leaving it slightly crack. Everyone begin buzzing about what was going on. Then went breaking off asking about what they had on an question. Damien smirked as they got on that topic and asked his best friend Julie what she had on the whole front. She laugh and snatched his paper off his desk and begin answering all the way until the spot she stopped at.
"Now you do the rest".
She smacked the paper back on his desk and turned away as soon as the teacher walked in. She had the look of pure horror spread across her face. She pointed towards the door breathing in deeply.
"They forgot to tell our class...they forgot to tell us just because we are in a test...everyone exit the classroom quickly".
Confused, everyone stood and made their way towards the door. Damien snatched his bookbag his mother paid too much for. Much more like twenty three dollars and sixteen scents. She remembered that price and told him each time he walked through the door asking about a bigger one. He does it just to mess with her. Walking out the door, he noticed one of the lights were falling out and flickering. Each time it flickered, it created a deepen spark inside of it. Julie caught up to him and stayed close scared at nothing since they wasn't even told why they were leaving the classroom.
"All students exit the building safely. Come on kids, this way".
Up ahead was a person. He seemed to be the one who spoke to them. They begin to quickly walked towards him wanting to see what was going on. Damien was just about to follow when Mrs. Hall placed a hand on his shoulder. Him and Julie turned around looking at her confused.
"Yes, Mrs. Hall"? He questioned.
"This way, this way both of you. Back into the classroom".
She went rushing back towards the classroom as fast as she could. Damien glanced at Julie but decided to follow her. They rushed and looked back like they both wanted to see why, and screams erupted. They couldn't see clearly due to the students freaking out and running their way as well. Julie stopped for a moment which Damien didn't notice. He rushed inside the classroom and the door shut behind him.
"Mrs. Hall what was that"?! Damien asked in a panic.
"Don't worry about it. Me and you are safe. We need...".
"And Jul...".
He trailed off as he didn't see Julie standing next to him. his eyes widen and he rushed to the door but Mrs. Hall shoved him back rather hard. He stumbled over two desk and landed flat on the third.
"No! Don't go out there"!
She locked the door from the outside and backed away as the students banged on the door to be let in. Their screams echoed as the sound of something bitting into someone flesh echoed loudly. He felt disgusted and betrayed.
"Julie"! He cried out.
"Damien"!
His eyes widen as he heard her voice. She was still alive, that's all he needed to know. He rushed forward and caught Mrs. Hall hands as she tried to push him. They fought in a stance before he flipped her to the side and grabbed the door. He knew Julie was right by the door and needed to let her in.
"Julie! Prepare yourself"!
"Ok"!
He turned the handle and yanked it slightly open letting Julie rushed in. She turned and slammed it shut crushing someone hand until it came off for the door to shut.
"Julie...".
"They are half way dead anyways! It's something killing us out there and I was next from the one behind me. Thank God you let me in". She replied shaking. Mrs. Hall stood up brushing herself off and open the second door. It was completely dark and the smell of something old and wet stung their nose.
"Shut the door Mrs. Hall"! Julie yelled.
The sound of the door cracking echoed loudly. They all looked towards it before Julie and Damien looked back at Mrs. Hall.
"You...you knew what that thing was and led them to it. Why"?! Damien asked shocked.
"Shut up and listen to me. We have to get out of here. There is no time to explain everything that is going on. Let's go".
She walked inside the dark hall vanishing from sight. Julie breathed in deeply and walked after her shaking. Damien stood there for a moment. He reached in his pocket and pulled out his phone turning on the flash. Then walked inside lighting the path. Julie and Mrs. Hall stood together waiting for him.
"Shut the door". Mrs. Hall demanded.
He did as told and walked after them as they begin to walk. Each step sounded wet and disgusting. As he flashed the light downward, he swore it was blood that they were walking through.
"Mrs...Hall". He called out shaking.
She didn't respond. Only kept walking. Julie slowed down beside Damien a little unease about where they were going. Damien slowed down even more before coming to a stop. Up ahead he could see some light which had to lead to the outside.
"Mrs. Hall"! Julie called.
She finally came to a stop and didn't turn around looking at them.
"You both see the light. Hurry up and rush to it"! She replied.
They nodded and rushed past her. Damien glanced back and stared in horror as Mrs. Hall skin begin falling off her body showing a disgusting red flesh. She screech which made Julie turn around and Mrs. Hall started rushing after them. Damien grabbed Julie arm making her run faster. His heart pound in his chest as they got closer to the door.
"Hurry up! Hurry up"! Julie yelled out.
He reached forward and slammed open the door. The light shines bright as they exit and the creature stayed inside. Julie shut the door out of breath and looked around as well.
"What the heck happened"?
