Shadow's Twin 3

We enter the classroom once again and peek out the shattered windows.

We look up and see a black and red striped airship dragging a gigantic banner at its tail.

Shine

What's that?

Mervin

Isn't that Boravia Enterprises's logo?

Shine

What does it mean?

Mervin

Boravia Enterprises is a pharmaceutical enterprise, they deal with a lot of medical and health stuff.

Mervin

But why is are they–

Hana Kroes

Let's evacuate the campus and lead everyone to the cathedral.

I jump in and they all turn to me.

Brandon

Alright, let's spread out.

We head out of the classroom and went door to door.

Hana Kroes

I'll check the gate downstairs that leads to the cathedral.

Lucile

I'll come with.

Lucile, she must be pretty shaken up.

She's been quiet the whole time.

Hana Kroes

Okay.

Elizabeth

I'll go too.

We hurry downstairs and head for the west wing.

There's a small museum for Mary and a garden that separates the side of the campus building to the cathedral.

I'm not a devout catholic, but I've been inside the cathedral for a specific unit I've been taking and the sanctuary can house atleast hundreds of people....

Or at this point, kids.

We reach the gardens and find a smashed helicopter on the side.

The other side of the brick wall was completely torn open and I could see the city cemetery from here.

Lucile

Oh my gosh ...

Elizabeth gasps and covers her mouth.

I see why she had such reaction.

There were two lifeless bodies peeking out from the cockpit.

I grab her gently around the shoulder and swivel her away with Lucile.

Hana Kroes

It's going to be alright.

Hana Kroes

Let's just focus on the children.

We find the cathedral doors open, as usual and check for any more bodies inside.

Lucile

There's quite a few here...

I see Elizabeth shaking.

Hana Kroes

Okay, let's shut the front door first.

I turn to Elizabeth.

Hana Kroes

Eli, can you do me a favor?

She turns to me, pale.

Elizabeth

There are people here...someone's parents, siblings...children too...

I embrace her.

Hana Kroes

I know, but we have to get the children safe, okay?

I feel her head nod against my shoulder.

Hana Kroes

Okay, alright.

I turn to her and slowly give her instructions.

Hana Kroes

I need you to go back to the others, and tell them we need some guys to help with the bodies.

She breathes heavily.

Hana Kroes

Eli, we can't let the other kids see them here, okay?

Hana Kroes

Lucile and I will take the bodies to the other side of the garden, but we'll need help from the other guys, okay?

She nods slowly, tears forming in her eyes.

Elizabeth

Okay, okay, alright ...I can do that.

Hana Kroes

Don't look back, don't look anywhere, just keep going.

She nods again.

Elizabeth hurries back to the main campus.

Lucile

What's happening to this city?

I shake my head.

Hana Kroes

Let's take the bodies to the other side.

There's another garden on the left and from here, you could see the two way road.

I peek outside and see the streets, the roads in disarray.

Focus, Hana.

Lucile and I start dragging the bodies out from the chairs.

In a matter of seconds, Johnny and Mervin enter together.

They see what we were doing and didn't bother to ask more questions and instead help out.

I was relieved...I didn't know how to explain this phenomenon.

Elizabeth comes in and warns us.

Elizabeth

Everyone's lined up at the gate, are you guys finished here?

Just in time, Mervin and Johnny closes the last door.

Mervin

That's quite the body count ...

He says dejected.

Mervin

I hope my...our parents are fine.

I could only pat him on the back.

Johnny

Send them in Eli.

They pile in an orderly fashion and in a matter of seconds, half of the chairs are already filled.

I help Belle assist the younger ones on the chair. The senior and middle-schoolers are also disciplined enough and were also a big help to the little ones.

Johnny

Everyone's in.

Brandon

I should do a double take.

Billy

I'll come with you.

Hana Kroes

Me too.
