Seth gave an audible gulp as the headmistress moved towards him inching ever closer as beads of sweat started running down his face "Why the hell am I so nervous" he thought while keeping a vigilant eye on her he felt stupid for feeling so wary of the headmistress but he was not sure where this feeling of unease was coming from. He hasn't ever dismissed his gut feelings ever and he wasn't going to start now just because she was a woman, although a gorgeous one at that but before he knew it she was standing a hairs breath away "Uhm I-" Seth tried to speak but he was silenced as a soft finger pressed against his lips, she moved in closer, Seth's heart went into over drive beating so fast and loud that he was sure his friends could hear it! She moved to the left of Seth's head and whispered in his ear " Sorry my dear but you are a bit young for me, maybe in a few years I think it could be quite fun!" His mind went blank for a moment not being able to process what she just said, finally after a few very short seconds Seth came to the realization to what she said "Wait, wait, wait by fun does she mean THAT? Oooooooh hot damn" he thought as flashes of well you can think what a twenty two year old guy could be thinking of what THAT is . She lightly smiled as she saw Seth's tomato red face and stepped back and continued speaking in a normal tone snapping Seth back from his reverie " Well I think I have answered all your questions yes" looking at the three of them.
"I take your silence as an agreement then" she said Seth looked at his friends as they all nodded in agreement " I am glad , It looks we are done here Mr. Becket shall we go?" she asked turning to the clean cut man "I think that will be good we still have quite a few appointments to get to" he answered while pulling out a file seemingly out of thin air the headmistress groaned displeasure evident on her face as she turned back to the three of them "Well I think this is goodbye then Oh and you be a good boy" as she winked at Seth moving towards the exit of the main building.
"What the bloody hell was that? " Jason said looking towards in the direction of the headmistress "Why on Gods green earth would she fawn over you and ignore the fine Specimen right here " he continued as he pointed at himself a light chuckle came from Miko "Yea a Prime specimen of what a Neanderthal would be like if he survived to the modern age" Jason immediately yelled "Heeyy, I will let you know that I am ninety eight kilograms of pure muscle any woman would be out of there minds to not want to climb this sexy thing" he said with a smug grin Seth could only look away as his best friend started stripping and doing bodybuilding Poses in front of everyone but he could certainly agree this was no normal everyday encounter first off how the hell did the Headmistress hear him through the many voices in the hall while behind a closed door but the strangest thing is that force or maybe energy it was like it was out of this world or straight out of typical Fantasy game he felt a light tap on his shoulders which pulled him out of his musings he Jason finally calmed down enough to keep his shirt on but he would flex his bicep at any pretty girl that looked his way Seth could but only roll his eyes at the sight he then moved over to the person who tapped him on the shoulder it was Miko "You coming to the practice this afternoon right" she asked "Practice?" Seth asked questioningly back immediately regretting his choice of tone as anger spread across Miko's face "yes practice just because the Dojo is closed for the semester break doesn't mean we stop training" she said fiercely staring at Seth he gave a small groan as he said "But shouldn't we at least take a small break I mean sensei Hizashi has been drilling us non stop for the past 2 months" he wasn't lying about the drilling part the small japanese woman really has been putting them through the ringer something about being fight ready which made no sense to Seth as there was nothing to be fight ready for but a simple glance at Miko's face and Seth knew she was not going to be backing down he sighed "Fine fine we can train but I have to get some sleep first I am dead on my feet" Miko just nodded with a accomplished look on her face "Good let say around three this afternoon that should give you more then enough time right" she said looking at her watch "Yea that should be good" Seth answered with that he decided that he truly was super tired and really needed some shut eye he waved to his friends as he started to move to the entrance of the main building but a shout from behind stopped him it was Jason "Yo remember the party tonight its going to be sick" Seth just nodded "Yea cool see you guys later" as he continued to move to the exit.
As Seth moved through the humongous oak doors going outside, he looked at the wide corridor that connects all of the buildings he inwardly groaned as he knows it will take him a minimum of at least twenty minutes to get to his dorm room he never understood why anyone would want to build a school as big as Silverwood some even joked saying that it being more like a city then a school the reason being is that it is situated on a chain of islands close to the south of Japans southern most Island of Okinawa roughly 10 islands that make up the academy called Silver wood where the elite of the elite come to study one thing that Seth did find surprising was that even though the school was situated so close to japan it wasn't wholly influenced by the country in actual fact it was mixture of east meets west.
Grumble!!
Suddenly a very loud noise came from his stomach "I need to get something to eat badly" he said to himself walking towards his dorm now even more annoyed at it being so bloody far. A electronic beep sounded as Seth swiped his room keycard he finally got to his dorm room and as usual the cleaning crew have already cleaned his room which he truly was hoping for as he didn't have the energy to clean up his mess he made trying to cram for the test the night before as the dorm room was absolutely massive you could think of it as being a suite in a 5 star hotel he moved through his massive living room and into his even bigger room where he slumped on his freshly made bed he threw his things onto his desk as he sighed a deep sigh "Finally some sleep" he said to himself but another audible grumble came from his stomach even louder this time he groaned in frustration as he got back up moving towards the kitchen area of his dorm and opened the fridge and grabbed a apple not really in the mood to cook "will just get something at the party tonight" he said as he noticed his phone on the marble counter he grabbed it and started moving back to his room he sat down on his bed chomping down on his apple as he noticed that he has got way to many new messages on his phone lying back onto his bed, he went through them.
First was from mom " High honey hope you are doing well just wanted to check in I know you are busy with school and all just wanted to let you know I love you and I am so proud of you" the message said Seth sighed " I really should call mom" he said to himself as he moved to the next messages Miko: "You better not drop me this afternoon or I will make you regret it" Seth read as he suddenly got a shiver knowing full well that she meant every word especially the last part "I probably should set my alarm so I don't miss this afternoon's training" he said nervously chuckling to himself as he moved onto the last message which was from Jason "Yo man I just found something way better to do tonight yea I know the party is on but think this will be better trust me will see you guys at the dojo" Seth frowned at this is so unlike Jason I mean he lives for parties Seth thought looking at the message he closed the app to tired to answer anyone he put one arm over his eyes to block some of the natural light in the room whatever it is he can just find out this afternoon he thought as he drifted into sleep.
A beastial roar shook Seth up as he jumped to his feet roughly wiping at his eyes still dazed from just waking up as he tried looking around but all he saw what pitch black nothingness he wiped at his eyes as he called out "Yo Jason is this you man" only silence answered him he shouted again " If this is a prank it isn't very funny man come out" again nothing he again started looking around trying to see if he could make anything out in the pitch blackness when he suddenly heard a feminine voice "Hi my beloved" directly behind him he flinched and immediately turned around but what he saw filled him with absolute horror.
A mutilated human stood before him as there was no other word to describe the bipedal horror that was standing in front of him, all of its skin has been removed a large cavity in it torso where the internal organs were has been hollowed out to such an extent that the vertebrae were visible it spoke once again "Its me" Seth still trying to make sense of what is happening he just blurted out " I am sorry but I don't know who you are" it starred at him well he thought it was he wasn't sure as he couldn't make out any facial features as all of the skin on its face was missing and only the raw anatomical parts were laid bare again it spoke "Have you forgotten me already" its voice gurgled like a drain that had been clogged for too long it then started to walk closer to Seth the thing looked like it was going to collapse at any moment its body wobbled and its steps were unsteady but it still walked towards him Seth wasn't sure how to react he couldn't make out if this was a dream or not but he didn't know what else to do so he just stood there in complete silence as the entity continued walking closer sloshing every step as blood splashed all over now within inches of him it raised its hand and started reaching for his arm "what are you doing" Seth said aloud as he instinctually moved backwards Seth immediately regretted that decision as its fleshy forehead scrunched and it immediately started wailing a ear bleeding sound that Seth has never heard before he hunched over cupping his ears trying to block out the terrible sound but to his dismay it did not even help he felt himself getting dizzier and dizzier the world started to spin faster and faster he felt like lurching but just before the vertigo overtook him the sound stopped "what the hell is happening" he thought as he hesitantly started straightening himself un cupping his ears he immediately swiveled his head towards where the humanoid was standing but to his surprise it was gone simply vanished as if it was never there Seth looked around him to make sure the thing wasn't behind or to the sides of him he breathed a sigh of relief " Phew that was absolutely terrify-"
Suddenly, out of the shadows, a creature appeared and lunged at him. In an instant he was knocked off his feet and had the thing snarling at his face. He could not believe his eyes, what was this? He uttered a gasp of surprise before the creature started biting at his flesh he yelled in pain as the creature kept gnawing pulling strips of skin off of his face the wet gummy sound as his flesh was pulled off just adding to his torment he started thrashing about trying to get his hands in between him and the monster trying to cover his already bloodied and torn face he got his hands and arms up in a guarded position Seth knew it was not going to protect him for long as the monster already started biting at his arms and trying to move Seth's arms away digging its own fingers in between the folds of his arms determined to get through to his face Seth still reeling from the burning pain from his injuries he strained his neck trying to see if he could make out anything that he could maybe use to help him get this thing away from him he groaned as all he saw was darkness pitch black darkness "What the hell? Is this some horror movie shit" he thought as he desperately kept his arms and hands up to protect his face Seth noticed that the monster although strong was not the brightest as it has not once tried to reposition itself to get at him from the sides or attacking any other parts of his body seemingly fixated only on his face that gave Seth an idea a very very bad idea but in the current circumstances he did not have much of a choice with his mind set he moved his lower body under the monsters hips so that his own hips line up with the monsters "easy enough now comes the hard part" Seth thought all the time keeping his arms up with steadying breaths he started counting the hits that the monster threw at his arms "one , two , three , four , five...NOW" he thought as he open his arms just as the thing tried another strike towards his arms he threw his left hand in a overhand motion hooking the arm moving towards his face he flexed his arm next to his body trapping the arm tight like a rugby player clutching the ball under his arm with the arm trapped Seth pushed his right hand straight into its hollow eye sockets and nose gripping the head as if it was a bowling ball pushing up and twisting his whole upper body while pulling down with his right hand slamming the side of the monsters head straight into the floor with a wet schlunk without losing his twisting momentum Seth climbed over the monsters body so that he sat on op of the monsters chest still clenching the monsters other arm tight Seth knew he only had a few seconds as the monsters other arm was still free he let go of the monsters head pulling his arm back motioning to start pummeling the monster in turn but something caught his eye a silver shimmer around the monsters neck he quickly moved to grab the shiny object not noticing the monsters free arm swing towards his head it slammed straight into the side if his head while simultaneously bucking him off with so much force that the monsters trapped arm snapped right at the elbow joint loosening Seth's grip with his foothold gone he went flying a few meters crashing on the floor face first with a audible crunch with what could only be his nose, he moaned loudly with the new pain of his broken nose as well as the previous open wrenches in his face he knew he did not have time to concentrate on the pain he brought his feet under him trying to push himself up as blood gushed from his nose his movements were slow to slow he knew but his brain was still rattled from the impact and moving to quickly will just land him back on his ass again yet he knew that thing will be either already on top of him he looked up as he staggered on his feet and was shocked what he saw the thing was exactly where it was it hasn't moved except for it getting to its feet standing the dead still Seth noticed the broken arm hanging limply to the side and the other that punched him in the face was close to its neck as if it was looking for something Seth immediately turned to his right hand where he noticed the silver necklace hanging from his clenched fist not knowing how or why he still held onto it he brought his hand to his face slowly as to not wanting to antagonize the thing as he was not sure what was keeping it at bay but he was not going to test fate as he knows that he will not be able to make it through another round of face eating a his hand came closer he slowly opened his hand to let the full length of the necklace hang it was a simple yet elegant necklace with a simple sparrow pendant hanging at the bottom it definitely was made for a girl Seth blinked a couple of times as the realization dawned on him as he looked back at the thing only noticing now the very distinct female features looking back at the necklace he couldn't shake the feeling that he has seen this necklace scrutinizing the necklace even closer trying to place it mulling it over in his mind as if something clicked "isn't this Nata" he started but was summarily cut off as the Monster started screeching such a terrible sound as Seth immediately bent over trying to cover his ears but it was futile the sound was drilling into him from every direction he pinched his eyes closed concentrating on not passing out as he could not be unconscious while that thing was around yet through his effort he felt his consciousness slipping it was like trying to hold back a tsunami with a wooden dam he just couldn't old out his body started convulsing the world started to spin faster and faster and faster Seth could not hold as he felt the darkness take him over suddenly a electric shock as if someone tased him ran through his body he jerked up in a sitting position eyes still closed waiting for the pain but nothing no terrifying screaming and no pain he slowly started opening his eyes one then the other he looked around he was back in his room shocked he spun his head around looking for the monster but nothing "what the fu…" he tried but couldn't get it out as he summarily threw up next to his bed.
