Episode 3: FEELS LIKE DEATH
Warning for headphone users: Loud noise
Anastasia Anderson
What happened?
Peter Dante
There's something wrong
Juliette Lewis
That's unlikely… Has she overslept?
Anastasia Anderson
Probably, but somehow I can't imagine her sleeping and forgetting about class.
Peter Dante
Hey, look! Nancy's already here!
Peter Dante
Shall I ask her?
Juliette Lewis
What, to a date or something?
Peter Dante
Of course not!! I'll ask her about Amelia!!
Anastasia Anderson
Lol you all, she doesn't look like someone who's happy to wake up and witness a new day.
Juliette Lewis
Perhaps Amy is sick? It's possible, she's so weak…
Peter Dante
And god knows where she's got those scars from! She always looks beaten and so out of energy...
Stella interrupted the chit-chat.
Anastasia Anderson
Oh… It's you! Stephanie, I guess?
Stella McCartney
No it's Stella. Just wanted to inform that Amelia Earhart has asked for a one-week leave from the club… She's sick and resting.
Juliette Lewis
Ah yes, it's alright. Can we pay her a visit after class?
Peter Dante
Of course because we're her friends and concerned!
Stella McCartney
Whatever. You may ask Nancy regarding that.
Stella McCartney
I'm leaving now.
With a cold glare, Stella left.
The trio looked at each other, confused.
Anastasia Anderson
I'm so sorry to offend her, I literally couldn't remember such an easy name!! How??
Juliette Lewis
Well, it's for the better. Now we'll never forget her name.
Peter Dante
For real though, she's a weird girl.
Nancy Marchand
Stella, do you have a pen? I dropped mine somewhere.
Stella McCartney
Yes here.
Stella hands over a pen from her bag.
Stella McCartney
Why do you need it.....?
Her eyes fall on a paper. She looks at it with curiosity.
Nancy Marchand
Oh! This.. Actually, a new boy's being admitted. I'm class representative, so I need to help him fill out the details.
Nancy Marchand
Unfortunately, I couldn't reach him through phone. So I'm going to mark the required sections and give it to him during class.
Stella McCartney
Ah... I see.
Stella stays quiet. The two finish their work and head back to the dormitory, where Amelia has been resting.
They quietly enter, without making any sound to not disturb her sleep.
Nancy Marchand
*sigh* Get well soon.
The lights are turned off and the girls go to sleep.
A loud noise wakes up both of the girls.
Nancy immediately turned on the lights. The lights flickered.
Both she and Stella covered their ears, the sound was too much to handle.
Nancy Marchand
WHAT IS THIS SOUND? IT'S KILLING ME-!!
Stella McCartney
It wasn't... no this is too soon... no...
Nancy Marchand
STELLA ARE YOU OKAY? I CAN'T HEAR YOU!
Stella kept on mumbling with a horrific expression plastered on her face.
Nancy jumped out of her bed and ran over to where Amelia was sleeping.
All the furniture were shaking.
Nancy Marchand
AMELIA, ARE YOU OKAY? HEY-
Nancy pulled the blanket, and left out a shriek. Amelia was not there.
Nancy Marchand
STELLA... STELLA ... AMELIA... WHERE IS SHE... THERE IS ONLY A PILLOW... MY GOD... WHAT IS HAPPENING....
Stella immediately looked at the bed. Mumbling something, she ran out of the room.
She ran through the crowd of other students, who came out because of the sound, as if she knew where the sound was coming from.
There was no sound at all.
The silence was so immense and unbelievable that it felt like their ears were stuffed, or they had lost their hearing altogether.
Slowly, sounds started to be heard.
Peter Dante
What.... was that?
Anastasia Anderson
The world didn't just end, did it? Are we going to experience something similar to the Croods? Is this the start of a new civilization?
Juliette Lewis
Keep quiet and go to sleep you all. Tomorrow will be a long day.
Nancy did not dare to step out of the room. She kept crying, she was scared, her ears were in pain, and she was dying out of worry about her two friends.
The door slightly opened.
Nancy Marchand
*startled* Who... who's there...?
Nancy Marchand
Who's.... who's it....
Amelia cried even louder.
She was vulnerable, feeling an ominous presence just meters away from her.
Nancy Marchand
I... I'll shout.... Who....
The door opened a little wider this time.
As if instinctively, Nancy closed her eyes shut.
Hearing what might've been a chuckle.....
.... she heard the door completely shut close with a bang.
She screamed her lungs out for help.
Her heart sank with fear. Her body was aching internally. She kept resisting against the unknown being.
But no matter how much she screamed, there was no one who came to rescue. There was nothing she could do now.
It is the end. She's going to die.
Stella McCartney
NANCY??!!!!!
Oh, someone came after all.
Nancy Marchand
Stella ! Stella !
Nancy wailed. Stella consoled her.
Stella McCartney
What happened? Why were you screaming like that??
Nancy Marchand
I thought *hic hic* I ... *hic* ... I was going to die... wahhhh
Stella McCartney
Yeah… Yeah... it's alright now....calm down
Nancy slowly calms down as Stella pats her back.
Nancy Marchand
Where....did you go suddenly? I was so scared...
Stella McCartney
I went to search for Amy.
Nancy Marchand
Oh- OH NO DID YOU NOT FIND HER YET?? WHERE DID SHE-
Stella McCartney
Calm down, it's alright.
Nancy Marchand
What? No, nothing's alr-
Stella McCartney
What could've happened to her within the school grounds? We can just report to the teachers tomorrow.
Nancy Marchand
But... how can you be alright, Stella? Aren't you worried? Where might she be staying the night? What if it's too late tomorrow?
Nancy Marchand
Are you going to take responsibility then? She's also one of my closest friends.
The dorm supervisor and the teachers were notified.
For a whole night, they searched for Amelia, but to no avail.
Nancy and Stella were asked to go back to their room and rest.
Nancy Marchand
Stella... Stella...
Stella McCartney
Hah... What happened?
Nancy Marchand
Stella… I heard someone walking here just now…
Stella McCartney
Oh, Amy, ... I'm very sleepy right now…
Stella McCartney
Let's sleep… Don't worry they'll find her…
Nancy Marchand
No, Stella, they don't need to anymore.
Nancy's face was pale, her lips trembling, and her eyes filled with fear and horror.
Nancy Marchand
Look over there.
Stella turns back, and her eyes fall on the direful entity.
She's taken aback, unable to speak.
For there, in front of her stood...
...in a way they've never seen before.
