Chapter 8 - Mournscream

Thursday

"Ok class. New day. And yes, I get it. It's almost Friday. Big deal. But you know what that means? It means you all get to work harder!" Mr.Norio laughs.

"Now, we're going to start a new, lesson, I guess is what you would call it. Anyways, grab a partner. This will be your running partner. Today, we will be running through the forests around the city. The forest has already been checked to make sure that there is no disturbance, like a monster. Now look at the board, find your partner, then head outside and meet with me," Mr.Norio points at the board then heads outside. Takeshi looks at the board for his name then finds it.

"Carte Morta and Ren Asame. End group leaders/follow ups."

"Great. Let's go new boy," Ren grumbles next to Takeshi then walks off outside making Takeshi have to jog to catch up with her. Once everyone meets outside, they all start running, Mr.Norio in the front and Takeshi and Ren in the back.

As the run starts, everyone keeps together but eventually the line breaks up in the middle with two big groups of runners and their partners at each end, front and back.

A few hours in, there's a loud scream at the front of the group Ren and Takeshi were following. Takeshi and Ren rush up and get met face to face with a young girl their age with a large fancy white dress covered in blood, a pale face with make-up running down their cheeks, messy black hair, and light grey eyes.

"Ren, carefully get everyone back then wait till I have her distracted to call Mr.Norio for help," Takeshi whispers into Ren's ear then straightens up, meeting eyes with the girl.

"What about…" Ren starts to say back but Takeshi shushes her and motions to go back. She nods and starts to walk towards the rest of the group. The girl snaps her head to look at Ren.

"Ren don't move!" Takeshi quickly whispers.

"Wait till I distract her," he takes the girl's hand, turning her attention from Ren back to Takeshi. The girl leans close to Takeshi and kisses him, letting him motion for Ren and the others to get back and call for help. As they get over 10 feet away from Takeshi and the girl, Ren pulls put her phone and calls Mr.Norio who says he's on his way. The girl quickly pins Takeshi to a tree nearby.

"Ren, come here," Takeshi looks over at Ren. She walks over and Takeshi quickly pulls her close into a kiss then releases her, making her stumble backwards shocked. The girl looks furious but before she can make her way towards Ren, Takeshi stabs her in the back, making a ray of light shoot out of the stabbed area then slowly disappear as the girl drops to the ground. Mr.Norio reaches them soon after and takes everyone back to the school after calling the authorities to get the girl's lifeless body.
