The sound of a helicopter flying over head with twin buster engines roaring,the shaking of the class and the worried gasps of the students and the teachers fantic attempts to calm down them down and get them back into order only seem to increase the chaos around them
The class finally settles down returning to here seats as the teacher looks on and explains the 'minor.'inconvenience
"Class,as you all may know already this Camp as regular supply trades with Camp 02 and the jetcopters course this disorder every time they pass over the school."
her voice was soft like a pillow and easy on the ears but trembling with anxiety as she looked over her half destroyed class and watched in doubt the students mixed expressions
Then...
Her glaze stopped on one student in particular who was sleeping though the entire ordeals as if it was just another mundane school day
She cleared her throat and adjusted her red framed glasses while pulling her messy hair back into a ponytail then without a second thought threw a piece of chalk at the student startling him awake
She turns to the board with a new piece of chalk in hand "now that I got all of your attention, I'll explain what is needed of you in order to past this semester, you'll need to research the great endings of the Elden world and write a four paged essay and you all have to submit it on Monday or it's a fail."
The class had a group sigh before protests begin everyone complainting expect for the sleepy student everything freeze as the teacher glaze was locked onto him
"Soul Hollowraven would you care to voice your thoughts"the teacher said in hopes to remove the attention from herself
Soul his expression blank and his deep reddish eyes sleepy and half open marely shuggers and with a flat voice says"it's fine I guess."
The teacher boy knowing whether to press for more information or too just leave it be is stunned and almost misses the sound of the ball
She's unsure what to make about the boy she's staring at he rarely wears proper school uniform often sporting a black hoodie and overly baggy red trousers
Sleeps during classes and doesn't seem to interact with anyone
But she presses those thoughts to the side and continues with the lesson
A few hours later
A group of three students in one of the school club rooms including Soul seat near a table with a deck of cards
The first student and club president Mimi a girl with brown hair and slightly oversized schoolwear and pale skin Shuffles the deck like an expect while being watched by the second student a young athletic looking guy with glasses and shoot hair
Mimi looking at the athletic guy hizzes then grind widely before leaning closer"so how's your day going...uh Chris."her voice was sweet like honey yet also suggestive
The athletic looking guy Chris startled by her interests suddenly tries to stammer out an answer but is unable instead he looks at Soul and directs the question towards him in which soul responds with a sigh"fine I guess."
Mimi heading her head on the table her expression one of disappointment and frustration hisses again then Coldy says to the two"the both of you are the root cause of why I'm single,I mean for crying out loud one of you is a corpse and the other a jock with a nerds mind."
Both Chris and Soul look at eachother then at Mimi in confusion as they both shake their heads and respond
Soul avoiding eye contact and looking at the floor with a sharp yet flat voice"will your a perverted girl who acts innocent."
Chris his voice more outright insulting and targeting"and you can't even control most of your impulsives."he adjusts his glasses while staring down Mimi who growls and then protests before turning serious and putting the deck of cards down
"May I remain you where we leave,Camp number 65 the slum,we can't have people who act like they belong in those higher ups down here so forgive me for acting normal."she growling pounding her fist on the table to make her point clearer
Before grinning once again and while not flipping the cards gives one to both Soul and Chris while taking one for herself before saying with pride"this is the first official meeting of the supernatural investigation club 'S.I.P'for short to celebrate I thought we'll do sometime special."
Chris floating his arms cocks his head up with a curious look that he tried to hide"and what's the 'sometime special ' your talking about."
Mimi her grin turning into an outright smile marely laughs as Chris and then while holding the deck of cards says"those are mythic card that show one's fate so we testing them out as apart of our first investigation."
Chris his expression blank ajustts his glasses once again and then flatly says"she fell for a scam didn't she." he says to Soul but mostly himself
Mimi flipping her cards sees the number 7 and the figure of a women wearing a white robe and veil over her head holding a long stuck made of bloodied bones and a sun line Halo behind the women
Chris follows,his card shows Nothing but a simple clown giggling balls that are ignited with flames
Chris his eyes hardening in frustration throws the card into the desktop and in a fit of rage shouts"this thing is broken why do you get the a veiled woman while I get a...."
He is hushed by Mimi who whispers in a low worried voice "you do know it's a crime to even have those cards right so if your going to continue crying like a little bitch I suggest you leave."
Chris seeding with rage remains silent as he stares at Soul card which shows Nothing about two skulls each facing in different directions
Mimi following Chris glaze to the card breaks out in laughter and speaks with a mocking edge"looks like someone going to get there lives turned upside down."
Soul mildly surprised at Mimi outburst of laughter marely stares at her then with a voice as calm as a rock says" so what does this mean I'll have bad luck or something."
Mimi wiping a tear from her cheek with a wide smile and cheerful voice says "well it depends on what's that change,those cards are from the olden days so the means change room time to time
The joker means he who plays that fool and is usually associated with secretary and being a Trickster
The veiled woman or enchantress if you will is related to the belief of supernatural forces as while as fortune and...."
She pauses for a moment catching her breath and for dramatic effect before continuing
"The double skulls represent the shift in one's life mainly the transaction from life to death and it's often seem as a bad omen."
Chris shallows hard letting the weight of Mimi words stuck in deep before reaching for a bag of chips then eating nervously while mentally thinking his lucky Star that he didn't draw that card
Soul on the other hand seems disinterested at it all as he yawns and mutters under his breath"what bull."before getting up to leave
Mimi opens her mouth to protests but is cut off by souls exist,she then looks at the card then outside the window to the dormed sky that covers the entire city "if it were really a lie why is we leave in such a world where fantasy seems more believable then facts."
She clungs her fist before turning to walk away herself leaving Chris alone
The scene shifts to a hospital were Soul wearing casual clothing walks in with a bocay of flowers,he appearances the nurses and asks for room number C-444 in which the nurse accompanies him
Soul entering the room closes the door behind him and with a soft voice says"greetings grandpa."
Soul grandfather a old man in his late Nineties lays on his back,his slightly bald head and lean boney figure covered by a woman blanket as with a grim and growlly voice shouts"why don't you do something better in life then worry about a old frog like me huh!?."
Soul replacing flowers from a vase marely gives his grandfather a cold state and signs deeply before saying."family is also important grandpa I thought you understand that"
Soul's grandfather growling marely scoffs and says"will good for you giving me life lessons are we now."he shifts to the side tacking his head deep into his shoulder
Soul marely starring sighs a he grabs his bag and prepare to live but just then his stopped by the voice of his grandfather
"Listen,one day you'll realise there's more to life then just living and the day you do your cold world will melt and you'll experience true happiness unlike the time you spent with me just remember to never let your kindness Cloud your judgement and help anyone you can."his voice grew weaker and weaker than the silent is filled with the sound of buzzing
Soul looked over at him for a moment slowly walking towards his grandfather then a wave of shock hits him as he sees the monitor measuring his grandfather heart rate as flatlined
He tried to shake his grandfather awake but their is no response then he started to scream out calling for the nurse
A few hours later,the sun a set and Soul seats in the corner of the medical Ward watching his trembling hands,a nurse walks up to him and puts a comforting hand in his shoulder
"It's okay, there's nothing you could have done."she said with a sweet and almost motherly voice
Soul looked up at the nurse who then seats besides him and continues"your grandfather died due to organ failure but thankfully it wasn't a painful death and he left this for you."
The nurse hands Soul a small worn black bag and a letter with a stamp Soul as never seen before, Soul getting to his feet hesitates for a moment before taking the beg and then the nurse simply apologies then walks away
Soul confused and bewildered opens the letter to see it's blank then curses under his breath knowing that what's in the bag could just be something completely useless befire leaving the hospital
The scene shifts to an abandoned building were Mimi and Chris sneak though the hallways as if hiding from someone
The atmosphere is eerie and unsettling
The sounds of rats and water droplets bought chills down here spine
Chris with trembling holds the touch with both hands to keep it from shaking while Mimi leading with an unbreakable confident stride
"I don't think we should be trespassing on those sacred grounds Mimi this is dangerous and we don't know what's in here"Chris muttered with a voice that was more fearful then warning
Mimi scoffing marely chuckles at his word of concern then proudly lifts her phone up into the air as if it were a sacred treasure showing him a picture
"I know exactly what we looking for sources say this old hospital is one of the few remaining sites of the old world but it was abandoned but destroyed due to some kind of incidents and the only survivor at the time told them something about a box with talismans on it."
Chris Now officially sure Mimi lost her mind shouts"are you crazy and you think it's a good idea to come to this place looking for that box, I can't believe you dragged me into this stupid risky situation."
Mimi watching Chris nervously outburst marely shugs and responses"you only live once." Her voice was nonchalant as if she was a seasoned veteran at those things
Chris lost for words and unable to even formulate a single sentence market sighed and continue walking until they reached a door that's heavy reinforced and locked
With the logo of a bio Harvard and sword written H.C.S and multiple talismans wrapped besides it sealing off the other room
Mimi reaching into her pocket takes out a key and then moves to unlock the door
Chris stopping shouts"wait aren't you even going to think about this whatever is behind that door clearly wasn't meant to come out and where did you get that key."
Mimi placing her chin between her thumb and index finger" I found this key on the internet"she casually revealed before opening the door."
Chris rubbing the bridge of his nose and adjusting his glasses as they step into the room
To see there's only one light source that illustrates the box they search for
Without a second thought Mimi takes the box and begins to walk away out of the room
"You see nothing happened your were just a scared little cat"she teased Chris
Chris sighing in relief doesn't response as he is just glad they are leaving this place and nothing bad happened but the uneasy feeling of it all makes him unsure if they are truly safe just then to quickly looks back to see a human like figure in the distance of the hallway
He jumps up in terror before calling Mimi who growls and with a annoyed voice hissed"what is it now."her brows furrowed in annoyance and her smile turn into a furrowed grin that revealed her shape K-9 teeth
Chris watching in terror points behind him unable to explain what he just saw
Mimi her voice taking on a more scolding tone hisses"there's nothing here are you tweaking or something."
Chris looks back to see the figures as disappeared then back at Mimi who walking away,he rashes to catch up with her
Mimi not looking back, mutters under her breath"his supposed to be this cool under pressure students who gets perfect grades but his tweaking and acting like a scared little cat."with a faint blush appearing on her cheeks as she looks back to found Chris as disappeared
Mimi confidence facade seems to instantly fade away as she starts running and looking for him
The hallways seem to stretch on and on as if something was keep her away
Then she heard it the pleadings and pained screams that could only belong to Chris
She began to panick and reached for her phone in an attempt to call the police but nobody picks up the phone then she frantically began typing
Then paused once she felt a chilling breeze that seemed to strike her core
The hallway around her become distorted and her thoughts a frenzy
She then dropped her phones breaking the screen and then looked down at the box hearing distorted whispers,she unwraps the tailmans from the box as cuts appear on her pale skin
She opens the box to see a mummified finger that seems to be growing roots at the end, Mimi seeing this sight began began to scream out in pain and insanity then she looked forward to see Chris shaved head being held by a humanoid figure with long wirely limbs,Gray skin and a face that only sports a massive vertical mouth with rectangular shaped teeth and two deer like horns
The shaved head of Chris with his eyes rolled back and breathing coming in shallow gasps marely says with a lifeless time".. Mi...Mi...run.."
Then the head screams in pain once more before being crushed by the creature standing before Mimi
The blood drips down from the creatures hands and Mimi unable to process what she is witnessing begins to cry as everything turns black
Outside the building arrives Soul who instantly feels the manacing and malevolent aura around the building,he looks down at his phone and says"why are even here in the first place" as he opens the gate with a determined look in this eyes
