Chapter 3 - Chapter 2: The Mysterious Call

Being a chased at first was fun but like all things it comes to an end the fun and exciting thrill of the chase was slowly becoming something else, something that suddenly changed in an instant from fun to not so fun, Hero was not being chased anymore he was being haunted down by his male classmates and if he were to slow down or stop for any reason. It's safe to say he was going to be in a trouble he wouldn't be able to make it tomorrow alive.

"Uhm guys, why are you chasing me?!" Hero asked running around at the museum.

"How dare you get so lucky, huh? Getting first base". The other boys roared with anger.

Sure the museum was huge and it was big enough for anyone to play around and run around, so to find a safe place to hide and protect himself from the others, Hero was busy running around an old mummy statue. Which ever which side he planned to run from... These guys were there.

"Hey guys listen it's not like that kiss meant something to me, guess what she kissed like a donkey". Hero trying to save his ass.

For a split second it did kinda work well to correct that let's say almost by an inch at best, like all things in life especially in a teenager's life nothing ever goes as planned nor desired. So when the other guys were sounding relieved and calm.

"Well if that's the case we don't see any reason why we should kill you". Shakes suggested to the crowd.

"Yeah you are right, our bad man". The other boys agreeing and all coming to an understanding.

"Phew thanks you guys, you have no idea how glad and relieved am I to hear that". Hero fixes himself up and joins the boys, but as always something always goes wrong. As he was checking for something in his pockets, something else came out of them.

Angie's numbers on which in his own truthful opinion he didn't know on how they got in his pockets.

"Uh-oh". Hero chuckles awkwardly.

One boy from the crowd picks up this piece of paper instead of saying anything, he just passed it to everyone boy in the group.

From that very moment Hero's life flashed in his eyes in a jiffy if this was one of those over-acted bad commercials on TV it's either his own reaction was going to be play in slow-motion or crazy crowd running after him was going to be both in slow-motion and stumble and shake the ground like if the elephants or giants were dancing around.

But their expressions changed in just like that from the scale to a zero it went all the way up and broke it and reached new heights, from those calm and understanding guys to those unfriendly demonic present aura. Was what Hero felt.

Hero (Gulps) "Mommy". He squeaks.

"Ahhhh!!!!" The boys charged towards him.

"Boys stop whatever you are doing right now and come here, right now!" Ms. Milo called them usually whenever they felt her presence or hear her speak they listen just like that but this time, something she never thought she'd ever see done to her was done. They ignored her.

This wasn't fun and games anymore this was serious because everything had changed from a harmless boys chase to something wild and unpredictable but dangerous, was now brewing.

Like before Hero had nowhere to go he ran so much he was way out of reach from his classmates and Ms. Milo practically he was lost simple because he found himself on the other side of the museum, the side that not even the staff went to. He hides wherever he can behind the non-opened artefacts.

"Hudson? Come out, come out wherever you are". Shakes called him like a serial killer looking for it's victim.

"We promise not to hurt you" another boy in the crowd said.

"We'll just rip your heart out that's all nothing more" another one said.

"We just wanna rip out your head and put it as an artefact" the one who said that made it worse.

Hero was starting to be freaked out sure boys can be boys play around in threats like many normal boys would but this time it was different, something about the tone of their voices gave him this uneasy feeling. Almost like they meant it somehow.

They were no longer just looking for him now they were hunting for him more like hunting for his blood.

As they looked around they did one of the strangest things ever, they were sniffing him to be exact tracking him by his emotions.

"Can you smell him boys? He's near" Shakes jumped on top of the shipment boxes and smelled through the air.

The other boys were now laughing like hyenas surrounding it's prey and also drooling, one of the shipment boxes fell and they heard footsteps running away. Luckily it wasn't Hero.

It was quiet after so Hero wasn't sure whether they left or maybe it was all part of their plan to make it seem like they left to make him come out, so he did what at the time thought was a really good idea shouting out.

"Hello, anybody feeling all deadly and on a hunt for my head out there?". He called.

That wasn't probably a good idea he thought.

"Damn it I watch too many horror movies!". He says to himself.

Lucky for him the coast was clear there weren't any sight of Shakes or others, but Hero was still cautious just to be on a safe side. He walks around opening up the shipment boxes peaking what's inside, he saw every artefact he learnt about in history.

Then suddenly unexpectedly what sounded like a door squeak opened, that caught him off guard so he payed much attention to the door hoping that by the second whoever comes in he either runs for it or fights back, he picks up on old Pharoah's arm as a way to defend himself.

Little did he know or even notice that behind him something was coming out of it's box, it was unclear at first then it's eyes glowed in purple, it came out like a ghost or demon coming out in a horror movie.

"Run". An unknown voice warned him.

Hero looks up and down even sideways for the voice but doesn't even think to look behind him.

"Behind you" this voice warned him again.

This time Hero just picks his ear assuming that maybe it's all in his head.

"Run boy!!!". The voice was now loud enough to shake the room, even the thing that was sneaking behind him heard the call and it screamed in pain and covered it's ears.

It was a moment too late when Hero decided to investigate the cry he heard, already the the Zombie was leaping to him. In a reflex Hero used the hand to hit it, it wasn't effective but it bought him enough time to escape.

He headed for the exit and yet the Zombie was not far from behind him the creapy thing was that this zombie wasn't running on it's two feet, but it was running on four legs like a dog.

Hero had no idea where he was going every door he tried was locked.

"Follow my voice and you shall be safe". The mysterious voice reached out again.

Maybe it was instinct or what but Hero didn't have the time in the world to ask who is that he just followed the voice as it guided him in what seemed to be a maze. While he was running he was looking behind he ran into someone.

Hero and whoever this person was both fell to the ground, Hero shakes his head. As he's about to say something.

"Come on" this person said in a low whisper voice.

They entered a dark room, this person was holding Hero's hand slowly backing away from the open door. Asking him to be silent on the outside they see shadows on the floor approaching them.

Then Boom!

To their surprise Shakes and the other guys came they were different for some unknown reason they had changed their skins had lost it's colour and became pale, the moist had dried out and their eyes were lifeless. It's like they were no longer alive but dead.

"What in the hell?". Hero in shocked by what he sees.

"Stand behind me and don't try anything stupid that might get us killed!". The person ordered him.

Then this person did something unexplainable with their hands like a spell or something that bonded the Zombie Shakes and the others, but it only worked for a second then they broke free.

"Got any ideas?" The person asked Hero.

Who was still in shock. "Huh? Well Uhm". He didn't know what to say.

"Pick me and I'll be able to assist you". The mysterious voice told him again.
