Chereads / Let There Be Carnage / Chapter 5 - The Piggyback

Chapter 5 - The Piggyback

I opened my eyes and I didn't see anyone by my side.

"Blake ? Susie ?" I said while sobbing. I stood up and made it clear to myself that I'll be the hero in this never-ending story of mine.

"Okay Sophie, think, think, think. I think I should go back to the school and asks for help and maybe check in on my parents. But the worst part is that I don't know how to drive. Well, you learn something new everyday" I said to myself and went into the car. It was very complicated at first but I finally got the hang of it. I bashed up some trees on my way back home but I got the hang of it.

After three long hours of bad driving, I finally got the school. I went into the school but no one was there. "Where could everyone be ?" I soliloquized. I drastically remembered that we had a basketball tournament. I went to basketball court and everyone was there. I quickly collected the microphone from the commentators.

"Hello loyal students of this school. No where is safe, we have to evacuate. But before we do that, there's this demon who is attacking the innocent kind in this school, and he has taken them to a dimension where all the demons are, including the devil himself. So, we have to evacuate and I also need your help to defeat him" I said while everyone starred at me.

"Do you think this is the perfect time for jokes ? Get out of here" the basketball coach said. Then everyone began to chant "get out". I felt so ashamed until I felt something fiery in me. Their unwanted chants made me fee like an unwanted person trying to beg for mercy. I was feeling unpleasant when a basketball player from the team attempted to push me. Before he could even lay his hands on me, I turned and grabbed him up in the air just like Tess did. And I swiftly threw him right outside the window. I screamed and everyone ran away. It was only a girl and a boy that were standing right before me with their Jaws dropped.

"How the hell did you do that ?" They all asked simultaneously. I quickly passed out.

I woke up and I saw them close to me.

"What is that smell" I asked.

"It's smelling salt" she answered. My heart was racing when I saw them. They looked scary and I wasn't able to socialize with them.

"Calm down, we are here to help. My name is Max" he said

"And my name is Mika. What's your name ?" She asked.

"My name is Sophie and I need help".

"Before you tell us what happened, we have to get you out of here. There's an angry mob outside that wants to get their hands on us"

"Well, the door is screwed shut and the only way out is through the air shaft. Even the window has been invaded" Mika made it clear to both of us. Max suggested that they should hurry, or the situation is only going to get worse.

"We have to get out of here"

I stood on his Max's shoulders and I entered the air shaft. Mika repeated the same procedure. It was Max's turn. He tried to jump to grab my hand so we could pull him inside. Finally, he was able to jump and grab our hands so we could pull him up. The door finally broke and the angry mob came in with weapons. Max saw a pitch fork being thrown in his direction, but he was able to close the door to the shaft.

"That was close" he said.

"Why are they so angry ?" I asked. "Is that supposed to be a rhetorical question ?This was the only basketball game the school would have won in years, and you just had to blow it" she said.

"Hey! It isn't her fault. I'm sure it isn't her fault. She must have a very reasonable explanation for this" max defended me.

"Thank you, max. Now, the whole reason I need help slaying a demon. There's this demon named Ripley who came into my life threatening me that he's going to end my life because of some unforseen complications and I'm freaking guys" I said hurriedly.

"Calm down. Why don't you just explain how you lifted that guy and threw him out the window without using your hands ?"

"I don't how I did it. It just happened. But I do have a friend that has the same power as I do, but my friend has been captured by Ripley. This may sound so odd, but I'm telling the truth"

"Sophie, we believe you" she said

"You do ?"

"Yeah, why did you think we decided to help you ?"

"Thanks guys. We have to go. I have a mini van parked outside with weapons and I think it's pretty risky" I said.

"We have to get out of here" Max ushered.

We began to crawl and we got the end of the shaft. Max pushed the door and We busted out of there. On our way to the van, we saw that the mob destroyed the car.

"Holy shit! How the hell did they do that ?" I yelled. They quickly got my attention and they started to chase us.

"RUN" I yelled and we ran back into the school.

"The whole school.is surrounded, what are we going to do ?"

"I have an idea. Follow me!" I said.

We ran into the elevator and we went to the last floor.

"Why are we going to the last floor ?" Max asked me.

"Its a crazy idea. But trust me, it's going to work".

We got to the last floor and no one was there.

"This might sound crazy, but we have to jump right off"

"Jump ? How are we supposed to jump ? We don't have any parachutes or anything. We might die if we jump" Max said anxiously.

"Look, it looks like I'm the only one under pressure here, so is like like it if we had jumped out the window before they get here" I said. The elevator indicated that some people were arriving into the room. I went to the control panel inside the elevator and disabled it.

"We don't have much time. We have to evacuate before but too late"

"Okay, I'm in. But if we die, I just want to let you know that.....this is all your fault" Max said to me. We finally jumped out the window before the mob could reach us using the stairs. The thrust was so high, our face almost flew away. We landed on a car and sustained some injuries.

"Are you guys okay ?" I asked.

"Yeah, we're good"

"That's terrific, but they are still following us. RUN again"

Max ran to intercept a car. He pulled out the driver and punched him to death. It felt like he was playing Grand Theft Auto.

"You guys should come in before it's too late" he said. We were amazed, yet orchestral. We went into the car and drive off. The velocity of the car was so high, my face flew off.

"Stop speeding" I requested.

"It's not my fault. It's because the car is a BMW" he said

He parked for a minute while we had a discussion.

"Okay, so what are we going to do ?" I asked.

"We ? I'm done with this. Did you see the faces of that angry mob ? We were almost killed out there" Mika said.

"It's not my fault they were following us. And besides you were the one that said you were going to help me" I said.

"Mika! You shouldn't say something like that. We insisted that we were going to help her and it wouldn't be nice if we leave her in the middle of the mission" Max said angrily.

"I had friends who would have helped me, but due to Ripley, I lost them and it's really hard for me to cope.without them. I haven't even seen my parents in a month. So tell me, what I'm I supposed to do ?"

Well first, you are supposed to---"

"It was a rhetorical question" I said angrily.

"Mika, get into this car right now" he said.

"No, I won't" she refused.

"Well, there's no other option than to leave you" he said. Max revved up the car before she came in.

"I can't believe you wanted to bail on me"

"Life's not fair, baby girl" he said.

"So, what's the plan ?" I asked.

"I don't know. But let's get to my dojo" Max said.

"You have a dojo ? That's so cool" I complimented him while we drove off.

We finally got to his house and he took us to the dojo. The dojo was filled with different kind of weapons like katanas, axes, spears, ninja blades and bows and arrows.

"These are all nice but I don't think it's going to slay a demon" I said.

"Then what are We supposed to do ?"He asked.

"Okay, maybe we can open a portal, or we could perform a piggyback" I said.

"What's a piggyback ?" Mika asked.

"A piggyback is------- how will dumb this down to even when a monkey can understand ?" I said sarcastically.

"Seroiosly ? We are offering to help you and this is how we are appreciated ?" Max said with a very incapacitating face.

"I'm sorry. It doesn't hurt to have a little fun. Like is said, a piggyback is like you pour something like salt into a big tub of water and I get in, I think I can use my psychic powers to trace were they are and I can also take us there" I narrated.

"What the whatttt ? That doesn't work at all" she said.

"Come on Mika. It works in movies" he said.

"How about we give it a try ? But where are we going to get that much salt and a bath tub ?" I asked.

"Leave that to me" he insisted.

Meanwhile, Back into the demon dimension, Tess was trying to break out of the trap Ripley kept then in.

"Let us go. I promise you, you'll be sorry when Sophie comes in and kicking your ass" Tess told Ripley.

"I don't care if she does so, I just want revenge on her and her mum. And I think I'm doing a great job by keeping you guys here. I know she's thinking of a plan to come here. I also know that she has a new power" Ripley said in a very sinister voice.

"New power ? You know for a devil incarnate, you talk way to much" Tess Said.

"I know, right" Blake said.

However, Max was able to drive us to a pizza shop. It was a beach-themed.

"Hey bro, we need like a bathtub and large amount of salt" he told the cashier.

"No can do bro. Unless, you bring in the doe, bro" he said.

"Name your price" Blake said.

"$100" he said.

"Deal" he assured him.

"Is Blake that rich ?" I asked.

"Actually his more tha rich, he's wealthy. Blake doesn't show off his wealthiness or spend money on useless things. But he did it for you. You must be really special to him" Susie replied with a smile on her face.

"Come on guys, let's go" Blake yelled. We went to the kitchen of the restaurant and awaited the next step.

"Okay, the guy at the counter said that he doesn't have a bathtub, but we can empty the fridge and use it in place of the bathtub. What do you think ?" He asked

"I say we do it""Come on, let's get to work" Susie said and we began to pour the salt into the fridge. Then we filled it with water.

"Sophie, come here" Blake said.

"What up ?" I asked.

I made this awesome glasses that if you put them on, you won't see anything. Besides it's are with pizza cartons and my glasses" he said and we giggled.

"I'm really glad we getting to know each other well" he said. I found it hard to put a frown on my face. I was so locked in his eyes. Besides, I've told him that love him.

"It's ready, lovebirds" Susie yelled.

We laughed and went straight to the kitchen.

I entered the fridge and I saw them. They were being hanged by Ripley. The lights keep glitching. I quickly can back to the real world, panting and gasping.

" I saw them.They're in danger, we need to save them".
