The door slowly opened. And someone peeked around the door and that is when I saw a monster.
I looked left to Yumi and she was in a state that not even I, her best friend could describe. The teacher got up, screamed, and ran into the fight randomly. Then-BANG! A shinjo-shaped thread went right through his head. Instantly killing him.
The boy in the other corner, I saw his fear. This was easily the worst day of my whole life. I don't even know how to explain Yumi. It was clear that everyone was having a panic attack. I'm gonna run. No, I need to run! The man walked closer to the boy. The teacher was on the ground and I saw his blood flowing out of his head with his eyes looking like he was possessed. I didn't even want to say that word.
The evil guy had his shinjo energy all around him. I saw Yumi get up for some reason and got on her knees and started begging the evil man. That's how desperate we were. Desperate. I'm such an unlucky person. I wish someone would come to save me... save me. Yumi begged, but the man approached the boy instead. I was shaking and crying. There was no more hope. No more hope. No more hope...
The man bent down to his knees not paying attention to Yumi at all and I saw him pull out what seemed to be a bar or a protein bar or a candy bar. It was a chocolate bar and he gave it to the little boy. I heard him whisper something, I couldn't really hear it but I think he said something like "Eat bar live," That's all I could hear. I think he meant that if the boy ate the bar he would live. The boy refused as he was curled up in the corner with his eyes staring at him.
The boy took the candy bar and unwrapped it while looking at the man with fear. I didn't know what was happening. Yumi got up and walked back and told me "Hikari, we have to leave now, please! I'm scared" I had absolutely no idea what was happening. Yumi watched the kid while biting our nails with such fear.
I always thought that if I died I could live in heaven every day and be happy. Will I go to hell? No it can't be. I'm gonna burn! The boy took a small bite while I heard his heavy breathing and suddenly I looked at him and BOOM! I saw blood everywhere. Why? Yumi screams and so did I when I didn't even know what was happening. I looked at the boy. Then I saw that... his head was gone... I stopped for a second. I couldn't even think. My heart skipped a whole beat. Silence is what my mind heard. I felt like I was trapped in a place where I shouldn't be. Is this real? Am I dead?
It seemed so until I heard another BANG!!! This time it was even louder and it flinched me, it was the man grabbing the boy and throwing him so hard at the ground which is what I assume for now. I'm literally about to have a heart attack. The boy laid there. Without a head. I genuinely couldn't feel anything at this moment.
The man walked over to me. The anxiety rose and rose and rose until I thought I was gonna die and no matter the number of times I'm gonna say that, it might be true. I wasted my chance to run out the window. He bent down and said "I yearn for blood," I quietly said "Can you please let us go, I'll be a good person, and also I don't have any parents please, let me go," I have no idea why I said that. I could have said something better at the time.
Yumi grabbed my hand and quickly got up and pulled me out and ran with me, I tripped but got back up but then I felt an energy kind of hold me back and the man said again "You're not leaving soon darling," I pushed but it didn't work.
Yumi let go and ran off by herself. I really thought to myself at the moment. If it couldn't even get any worse but your friend leaves you in the worst possible situation? Who would ever do that, especially to me, when I'm a good person? What a shameless friend. I didn't know friends couldn't be trusted in these situations. Liars, all of them.
I was still stuck. The man came back and let his shinjo go and grabbed my hand until. I heard a loud bang from the door and a faint scream. I looked back and it was surprisingly the principal.
It felt like a found a special ruby, it felt special for me, although he should've came sooner since that boy uhm got decapitated. I don't think I've ever felt safer in my entire life.
From the enemy's perspective, I knew he saw an old man with a full body shadow with a sword staring at him. The principal quickly stepped towards him and slashed him but the man blocked it with a thick line of shinjo and jumped back and landed but then the principal ducked and went in and the enemy looked down and his legs got cut clean off. It was about time it would end. Even the shinjo wouldn't save him this time.
The principal quickly looked at his face with a heartless emotion and saw the enemy's face being like "What, no way, this buffoon is really stronger than me" That's what I thought in my mind initially until I realised I was... right? Gone. The boy's head wasn't just gone but so was his. Right off clean. I knew my principal knew something I didn't.
This is the moment I let go. I hated this orphanage. I don't care about Yumi anymore. I saw that window and without the principal looking I ran out of this bitch. Gone. I ran so fast and broke the window and tripped on the ground but got back up. I saw a road leading to the main part of the city, so I ran as fast as I could to at least get out of this wasteland.
The principal didn't even chase after me. I knew that place was a careless dream. Oh god why did I make myself remember. I hate dreams so much. They remind me of happy lives. Wish I could live in them forever... ok screw that, I saw a huge building named "Shinjo academy" I went right in and it was nighttime at this moment. Dark and barely anyone walking around.
I opened the door thinking it was locked but it was open. Not even any guards in sight. I went right in and no one was there but the lights were on. It felt warm, I saw a classroom and ran right in. After that, I saw the inside of the room and it was messy... very messy.
I saw a closet and a bunch of clothes. I threw those clothes on the ground and I slept. Not quite but I tried to. I was so tired. But why am I still scared? I'm scared that someone is still gonna take me or even kill me. I let it go and closed the closet and forced myself to sleep.
I was cured but I was also cursed. I lost Yumi but I found this place. Well, I hope it's a cure... I hope.
