Chapter 2 - carnage

What started as an ordinary lesson was quickly turning into a scene of carnage.

Five of the students that were too close to the window had their heads pierced by strange projectiles in a strange show of precision.

There was only one boy, still alive next to the window.

He had fallen to the ground. His legs were now shaking and it seemed like he had pissed in his pants.

The shower of the projectile had not stopped but after killing the first people the shot had become more random. The students were already panicking.

It was at that moment that I saw a girl crawling on the ground moving toward the exit...

I did not know her name. But I still knew that she was the class monitor. She also seemed to be a hard-working student most of the time.

"Everyone, don't panic! Drop on your knee and crawl toward the exit. Don't push the person in front of you" I said while doing the same thing.

I quickly moved toward the door becoming the first to exit.

Now I should be feeling shame. Perhaps the best thing to do was to exit only once all the students were outside. But I did not want to remain in that class. So ignored my newly discovered work ethic.

" I am crippled anyway. I should move away first" as I smiled at the shameful tough I started to calm myself.

I lean on the wall, next to the door, looking at my students I'm as they exited the classroom.

1,2,3... Soon 20 out of the 26 students were outside. I looked at their miserable appearance. They had seen people they knew dying horribly in front of them.

I knew that it was going to take some effort to stand up from that or they will become just like me.

Some debris had also fallen against the walls sending dust and debris everywhere dirtying else.

Whatever had caused this amount of damage, I did not want to find out about it in this condition. I was starting to reflect on the next course of action.

" what should you do when your school is..." I stopped not even knowing what was happening.

I could hear confusing sounds as if think were exploding throughout the school. I could also hear the sound of people screaming.

It seemed like we were not the only people getting attacked.

'

'26 people' I  looked inside the classroom. The guy with a mouth full was there begging for help while crying.

" save me, please!! Save me please!!" He begged.

I just wanted to leave. Find a place where I would hide myself but I could not just ignore him. It did not mean that I would enter the class tough.

" come. Just move toward me. Everyone is already outside"

" but I can not move," the boy said while crying. There was a snoot coming from his nose already.

I looked at the youngster outside. No one seemed willing to help him at a time like this.

" Everything happened because of you! You could not just move away from the windows. Now you are so useless" I wanted to just say this world but I scowled instead.

I entered once again in the classroom while hoping that I will not regret it later.

I fumbled with my hand inside my pants pocket. Soon I found my medicine against anxiety before moving toward the boy.

He was what? 16, 17 years old. I put two pills in his mouth.

"Now swallow" he hesitated for a while before swallowing.

I did not like this situation. Being close to him it smelled gross, blood, piss, sweat, and...

I started to lead him toward the exit with great difficulty considering my handicap.

We were not even midway when he started trembling. He was looking in the direction of the window.

" what are you doing?" I asked as it was now difficult to move away from his dragging. I was sure as hell that he weighed more than me...

He suddenly looked at me and our gazes met. I was not never good at reading people sure. But I did not like the way he was looking at me.

Without warning, I received a fist under my chin. The next moment I was thrown against the wall next to the windows.

I felt dizzy as my head crashed heavily on something that cushioned my fall.

I did not have time to react I remained unable to move for a while processing what was happening.

The boy was still moving toward the door when something floated past me.

My vision was still blurry. But I could make out something that looked like a human figure with 2 transparent wings on its back. The thing was little, the side of a small toy.

It has a tail on its back. The tip of the tail was somewhat heartshaped like a familiar projectile. The same one that was still embedded in the head next to me.

The tail glowed suddenly and the next moment a hole was made on the head of the fleeing student with blood sprouting out of it like a blood flower.

The boy trashed heavily against the ground thanks to his momentum.

I felt fear and trepidation at the sight, but more than that, I felt anger. Anger at the boy that had just betrayed me, anger at the little monster that had killed my students, anger toward a fate that seemed unable to leave me alone.

I did not think at all. The thing was ignoring me, blasting the doorway with his ' tail bullets' I used an amount of force that left me surprised to propel myself forward.

I only wanted to destroy that monster at that point.

The thing toward me, seemingly surprised.

I am finally cloth a clear view of the monster.

It looked just like a human. A male mostly naked with only its genitals covered with something that looked like a loin cloth. Its tail which looked like was similar to what you will expect from an incubus was pointed toward me. While the tail seemed made of flesh, the Tip was shining menacingly with a dark metallic glow.

I was falling head first on the thing while roaring. It easily floated away while grinning at me.

" %#%#%$#%#&" the thing grinned while saying something that I could not understand.

It did not take a linguistic genius to know that I was being insulted.

I twisted my body with all my might not caring for any further injury as I was falling toward the ground.

The thing finally panicked when it saw my outstretched hand closing on it.

" I got you " I revealed a wide grin.

I pressed with all my might, using all the strength of my grip.

Bone-breaking sounds were coming from my fist. I could feel something drilling its way through my flesh, through my bones but I did not release my grip.

But I knew that the creature was not dying yet. I could feel his powerful tail-like muscle protecting it.

The tail finally escaped from my clenched fist pointing toward my face. With this, I was at the creature's mercy and the same could be said for it.

The next moment I felt pain like never before in my life. Before losing consciousness I managed to hear another bone-crunching sound and I smiled.
