A silent figure who just dashed out of the pavement seconds ago and marched it's way towards Levin and Lucy.
The figure was definitely not a human as they can hear furious groan of the approaching glutton.
Both of them acted on instinct and start running. The creature faster it's pace and a few moments later a number of footsteps could be heard all over the dreadful school.
" Skinwalkers. They seem to have self awareness but zero perceptive skill. It also seems like our comrades are also having a fun time dealing with this thing." Says Levin.
" What do we do now? Keep running? I bet we would get cornered if there are more than two chasing at us. " Reaponded lucy as she tried to keep up with him.
" Believe me it's my 5th time dealing with this thing and they are as vulnerable as how much aggressive they can get. Just throw the Stone at the right moment and even the shark won't be spare by its sheer destruction. For now let's head to the gas station. "
Lucy didn't question this time, they started to head to the left side of the school where the gas station was situated.
In the depths of the computer lab. Alice was on her work to dig out her research she has been suspiciously intrigued on. She was there the entire time, not giving any attention on what terror is being revolved around her.
" The Procedure doesn't really favours the outcome. What could this thing mean here?"
She suspiciously stared over the keys that have been lying on the table.
" How could all public buildings keys be doing here? Does it means Headmaster has been hidingly crafting all his secret relationships with those institutions? "
She let out a sigh. She has been here to find out the purpose for Mr Khan visit to the school. Mister Khan is a mare of her town and also the first proclaimed humanoid pig in the world. He came into power two years ago. Even by such atrocious appearance he didnt cause any corruption to the society and was also well appeal by the people. The criminals who were sentenced to death were sent to Mr Khan only to be get devoured by the pig.
Though the town citizens accept the mare but Alice hated him. Always. She despise him and wanted to erase him for no reason even though he didn't cause any trouble for her. It was like a perpetual hate she couldn't figure out herself.
She took the keys and some few documentary of the school with her and finally headed outside.
She stop suddenly. She could feel the atmosphere dropping around her. She hide behinds a case attached towards the door and observed a girl like figure walking suspiciously as if searching for its prey. The creature try to make a soft cry begging for help.
Alice didn't move an inch. She didn't sweat a bit. The creatures seems to lacked deceptive skills to lured it's prey. Alice thought its not something to be worried about and waited for the creature to move away.
Just then a rat passed by its side, the creature hostility rises to sky high and then it torns apart it's entire body with the place itself with the force of an elephant.
It deliriously ate its prey but also seemed disappointed.
Finally cold sweat run down from Alice chin. She realised it's self awareness and sensory is it's deadliest threats. One small moment by her and then she is done for.
She didn't planned to become someone else food.
She remained in her place as motionless as she can't while the creature too didn't move an inch for some reason. As if it could make out that Alice was there in the place itself but it couldnt make out her exact position.
As minutes went by her heart beats faster, the creature started to slowly move towards her position with the passage time.
She thought she was doomed for a second, just then the creature heard a noise or perhaps feel it. It started to move towards the direction only when a huge metal rod struck towards its brain shattering it wide open.
The creature lie on the floor anxiously while Alice lift up her head and saw Stella holding a metal rod with blood stain on it.
" I did say I won't play the price for you but situation is quite dense. So I am taking my words back ok? Don't called me a hypocrite for this."
Alice sigh in an unusual pleasant tone " That is Stella for you. Anyway thanks for saving me. Besides when did you learn to use that metal rod? "
" I took down 5 guys in my junior tier. Did you already forget about that? "
" Maybe. "
" Anyway my only duty is to get us out of her."
" Thanks. "
" No problem. You can repay me by claiming all those cheaters in the classroom to be verdict maker."
" Sure."
With that both of the duo also decided to move towards the school hall.
The rain is getting more and more intensified with the coming absurdity. The school is getting even more intense with each passage of time.
Two figures are still running on their life on line.
" Huff.... Huff How long we have to run?" says Lucy with complete exhaustion.
Levin is still doing fine. He looks at the way to gas station and then carried Lucy in his back.
" H-Hey. . What you are doing?"
" Just bare with it. We gonna make it soon. Your strength is still needed somewhere."
" OK that's fine then. But I would forgive you for this."
Soon they made it to the entrance. Levin close the front door which is made up of solid metal. The door can't be broken at least in an hour by the creatures. Doesn't matter if it really have the power of 100 horsepower.
Both of them headed straightly and silently without trying to attract too much attention. Levin already told Lucy to don't altar a word when they made it to the gas station.
All they could smell was dead corpses of other Skinwalkers and blood. They ascended to the front of the hall.
They could hear drops of blood hitting the floor. They went deeper and deeper as they could barely make out in this dark maze.
But they went too deeper.
They stop by pure instinct as they heard the tickling of the clock. But only then they realised it wasn't the clock that was tickling.
Unnoticed by them stood a tall terrifying figure hovering above them.
Twisting it's nails as both the lone humans get closer.
" Brats.... Give me your flesh."
The tickling stops. That was the time when blood spills over the place and screams could be heard over the whole school.
