The School

Jan. 13th, 2009 | 07:08 pm

              It was hard for me to grip the idea that i was going to die. The knife touched my neck and deeper and deeper it cut into my flesh. I closed my eyes not wanting to see the blood gush out, not wanting to see the place of my death. Instead i imagined a better world, a place where i was finally myself with no worries in the world. It begins like this...
          
         Daniel closed his locker. A traffic of teens crowded the halls either changing classes or taking a break. Daniel waited for the hall to get empty so he could begin to hang the posters to the hall walls. It was suppose to inform the teens of prom and graduation and since Daniel worked in the commitee it was his duty. He began to staple the poster to the wall when a slight breeze past by him. Daniel spun around but saw nothing. He turned around to staple again when he found the poster missing. "This isn't funny" Daniel said as his eyes searched the halls. "Come on, give me the poster" Daniel shouted again. But still no response or sound echoed throughout the empty hall. Daniel was about to spin around when he noticed a weird liquid on the floor. He crept closer and closer and he gasped as he stared at the pool of blood on the floor with his poster on top of it. Daniel walked into the room where the blood came from.
          
         Inside, Daniel saw nothing out of the ordinary. The blood made a tiny stream from the closet in the room to the outside. Daniel crept closer to the closet his hand reaching out for the knob. His hand finally made contact with the rusty knob on the door. He was about to pull it opened when the lights in the room went off. Daniel heard the door close and he began to panic. He began to hear faint footsteps surrounding him. Daniel began to run to the door hoping this wouldn't be the day he died. He reached the door and pulled it open. For that one second he felt safe, he felt freedom. But his smile faded as he saw that the entire school was pitch black. Daniel raced around the hall figuring out a way to escape this nightmare. Just a few minutes ago he was worrying about the problems of him and his girlfriend and now this. "Hello" Daniel shouted but his voice echoed throughout the building. But Daniel couldn't see anything in the darkness of the school. Maybe if i can reach the main light switch in the basement i could escape this nightmare Daniel thought. He was glad that he had joined the commitee unless he would be dead by now.
  
          He heard a door close somewhere in the hall and he began to panic. He rushed to the right side of the hall, eyes closed, picturing the whole school blueprint in his mind. He made another left and reached the stairs leading to the basement. Before desending the steps, he heard the footsteps following close behind him. Daniel rushed down the stairs avoiding the cracks on the ancient steps. He reached the main light switch and pulled the handle. His eyes began to adjust to the light again. He looked towards the steps but saw nothing. He grabbed a pipe from the left corner of the basement and began to climb carefully back up the stairs. Daniel reached the 1st floor and still no sign of anything strange. He turned around and began to head towards the main entrance of the building. He was free in just a few more steps. A strong gust of wind blew Daniel to the security desk. A pen on the desk sunk into his arm. Daniel screamed in pain as he tried to take the pen out but apparently it was stuck there. Daniel used his other hand to come back up. He searched around for the source of the wind but nothing gave him a clue. 

      Daniel ran again to the main entrance but this time somebody stopped him, with a knife. The point of the knife touched his stomach threatning to cut into his proper flesh. Daniel looked up at the killer and saw that it was his supposed best friend (Derek). "What the hell are you doing?" Daniel asked his best friend.
"Shut up and follow me" Derek said leading Daniel into his homeroom. The door opened and inside it revealed the people Daniel thought were normal and harmless. "What's happening?" Daniel asked everybody. His teacher stood up from her desk and walked over to Daniel.
"Why don't we learn a little lesson?" She said as she walked over to the board. She grabbed the white powdered chalk and began to write fast notes. 
"What are u waiting for? Copy the notes" Derek said as he shoved Daniel to a seat. Daniel shakily reached into his back pack and grabbed a notebook. He set it down on the wooden desk and began to copy the notes on the board.  girls and 2 boys were shoved into the class followed by other people. 1 of the boys were already dead and only 3 remained. Those 3 were friends of Daniel too. The two girls were Karla and Sully and the boy left was Aaron. Karla began to cry when she saw the pen stuck in Daniel's arm. The group of 4 were seated in a row facing the board."Copying will take too long why don't i just talk the lesson out?" the teacher asked the traumatized students. 
"I hope u burn in hell" Karla told her. The teacher gave a stare to one of her followers and that follower walked over to Karla and made a short cut on her face. 
"Seems that ill talk the lesson out" the teacher said with a grin on her face. 
"I believe you all want to know the reason you're here right? Well ill explain at my best. You see this school was built in 1976, housing one of the bests kids in the town of Rectory. That was until one day tourists decided to kill and destroy anybody who inhabited the school. We all died in the horrible explosion but our revenge didn't. We swore to kill all those tourists that dared enter this school with such bravery. I looked through everyone's files and found out that you 4 and others had moved to this school from the very same place. That was when our plan was born. We all decided it was the best time to do such evil treachery. That is what brings you to this place and to your death hour" The teacher said as she stopped talking and rested her lips.
"Too bad" Daniel said with a grin on his face.
"Too bad for what?" The teacher asked curiously. 
"The fact that you won't see us dead" Daniel said with no hidden expression. 
"Oh really what makes you say that?" The teacher snapped at him.
"The fact that i know this school from front to back and the fact that this school is falling apart too" Daniel said this time smiling at the scared expression of the teacher. 
"Kill him now" the teacher ordered.
"Guys grabbed on tight to your desks" Daniel ordered as he stepped hard on the pavement floor. A ramp fell from the cieling and headed towards the group of 4. Daniel and the others were dragged with the ramp and they all flew out from the room window. The desk hit Daniel hard in the ribs but he managed to get up. The others also recovered and began to run to the entrance. They swung open the doors and managed to get outside. The sand on the floor was dragged by the wind as the teens ran past. They were as Daniel expected in the time the school was bombed. "Don't you guys get it, were the ones that destroy the school" Daniel explained to his confused peers. "Sully and Karla, go find as many damn weapons that you can find and come back here when you're done. Aaron you come with me" Daniel instructed them. Aaron and Daniel ran to the back yard of the school. In the garbage can was the button to destroy the school and bring them back to their time. Before they could go back Daniel was grabbed and so was Aaron. It was hard for me to grip the idea that i was going to die. The knife touched my neck and deeper and deeper it cut into my flesh. I closed my eyes not wanting to see the blood gush out, not wanting to see the place of my death. Instead i imagined a better world, a place where i was finally myself with no worries in the world. That was until i heard Karla and Sully kill the guys that held me and Aaron captive. "Come on" Sully said as they rushed to the main entrance of the school. Karla handed Daniel a chainsaw and Sully handed Aaron a butcher knife. The Teacher and her "Students" came out through the door. Daniel turned on the chainsaw and began to cut heads and bodies off. The group of 4 were covered in blood when they had finished killing the Teacher's students. The teacher lay back against the wall as Karla came closer and closer to her, a knife raised. "Do you know how hard it was for me to study all of that? Did you know how it felt to reject all my dates? Well feel the pain now" Karla said as she stuck the knife in the Teacher's heart. The teacher gave a blood curling scream as the knife pierced her heart. Daniel and the others began to run while Daniel pushed the explosive button. The bricks of the school began to fall all over the place, the teens saw as they reached their time. Everything went black...

   Daniel awoke in class as the teacher kept on speaking. Daniel got up from his chair and walked to the door of the classroom as Karla, Sully and Aaron did the same. 
"Where do you think you guys are going?" The teacher asked. 
"Suck it up bull dog" Daniel said as the teens walked out...
