We run down the stairs, wishing to escape
But even though we are far from the music room,
the sound of the piano seems so close
Due to panic, Marie tripped and accidentally hit her head on the ground.
She groans in pain as I immediately help her stand
The sound is drawing near...
Goosebumps start to cover my nape and arms
It wasn't a cat or a person ...
Marie
OUCH!! MY HEAD HURTS!
I don't wanna see it now..
We came to a halt right at the center building
Thalia
Where's your flashlight?
Marie
I must've dropped it earlier ...
I got mine with me, but it is blinking..
Probably running out of battery
Marie
Who would've thought that there is really a ghost in our school!
Thalia
I feel kinda dizzy ...
Marie
I.. also.. feel like throwing up..
It was only for a minute that we decided to take a breather
Marie
I might have a nightmare..
She looks like she's about to faint
And I know exactly how it feels..
Everything turned black when my flashlight stopped working
Thalia
My flashlight's out!
Marie
Fudge! Where's my phone??
Only our breathing is heard while we both look for our phones.
We are rummaging our bags when a cold breeze of air suddenly hit my skin
I felt a hand on my shoulder...
I know for sure that it isn't Marie's
She's in front of me based on her voice
It feels like it belongs to someone who's not ..
For some reason, I can't move.
It's getting harder to breathe..
Marie
I found my phone but it's turned off. I forgot to charge it earlier...
Marie
Why are you so silent?
Her voice sounded so distant
I'm struggling to release from it
It sent shivers down my spine when the hand felt longer..
Now there are two hands...
I panicked when it suddenly grabbed a hold of my mouth
Thankfully, Marie somehow found me.
Catching my breath, I held her hand tightly
Thalia
Let's get outta here!!!
Even though we can't see anything, I dragged her with me.
I mustered all the courage to extend my hand forward
Just so I can touch anything
Anything that may guide me out of here
We are panting, running non-stop
Marie
I think..that's... that's the exit..
It feels forever before we reached the school gate.
We stride away from the school
We are both silent on our way home, shocked, scared, speechless..
This is where we separate ways.
I didn't tell her about the hand..
I don't want to scare her even more
My hands and knees are still trembling..
I was just fighting myself earlier
Pretending that I'm strong..
I know that spirit didn't only intend to frighten us...
