Chapter 7 - Black shadows

A normal day at school where you listen to the teacher, talk to classmates, and make noise when class is over.

I was just sitting in my chair, looking out the window. The weather became dull.

"It's going to rain. And I don't have an umbrella.", I thought.

"Jay, let's go home together, I don't have an umbre..." And looked at Jay who was my seatmate and best friend but what I saw was the demon with red eyes.

I closed my eyes and looked up again. The demon is gone. I just roll my eyes, "Been my imagination." But I also realized that my classmates were gone.

I was the only person in the classroom. I went out and looked to the right of the corridor, I saw a shadow enter the other classroom.

"Hello? Is there anyone there?" I went in and saw no one. And then I heard a laugh.

"Hahahahaha. I'm here." The laughter of a girl. I immediately came out and shouted,

"HELLO?! Do you know where the people are?!" When I came out, a dark corridor sprang up in front of me.

To my left, on the stairs, there are shadows going up. I approached hoping they could answer me. But just before I could get close, I saw that's no human shadow. It is just dark shadows, with red eyes. They are speaking but more like whispering. Their shape grew as they approached me. I tried to run fast but it felt like the weight of my body and feet is heavy.

As they getting closer, they raise their long hands as if to catch me. They smiled big. Scary smile. I still tried to run until they caught up with me.

"Aaahhhhh!"

I woke up and saw all my classmates staring at me. Chasing my breath. I looked at myself, no shadow covers me. Jay touched my shoulder once and asked, "Are you okay, Kit?"

I don't remember falling asleep.

"I'm fine." I sat down and there I saw outside the window, there was a woman looking at me.
