I needed to be alone; well, I just needed to get out of here and get some sleep. I helped Ryuu pack some stuff into the car and we took off, dropping him off at his house. After driving a while later, I dropped Aisling off at her place.
"Are you sure you'll be ok?" she asked me as she hopped out of the van.
I nodded, "I will be."
Elle sat in the backseat quietly. She wasn't from here, and even though she could just get a hotel, I felt it was only right to let her stay at my place. I glanced at her through the rearview mirror. I was so insanely jealous of how pretty she was without even trying to dress up.
"Look, you can stay at my place. I'm going back to the school anyway. Ryuu will be there as a student. Besides, I want to go over some of the footage that we hopefully caught from last night," I told her, trying not to cause a fight.
She glared at me. "Like I would want to stay in that rat hole," she snapped.
I sighed heavily. "Fine, then you can come to the school with me and stay there. I'm not driving anywhere else."
She huffed, crossing her arms over her chest. I took that as an ok and went back to the school. Grabbing the bag, I went back to the home base in the empty classroom and threw it on the table. I plopped down and leaned back in the chair. Elle sat in the chair near the window and dozed off.
My mom had died, and I hadn't even been able to say goodbye or go to the funeral. Even though we hadn't gotten along, she had been my mother. It was nice of Elliana to even come and tell me that she had passed on. If not for her, I would probably never have known. I owed a big thanks to her.
Running my hands over my face, I felt the tears spring forth, and I allowed one lonely tear to fall forth. I laid my head on my arms and closed my eyes for a moment, but I fell asleep nonetheless.
Opening my eyes, I found myself face to face with a young girl. She looked to be about my age, but she was staring at an older man. A teacher maybe? He was strangling her. Trying desperately to silence her muffled cries. I ran forward, wanting to help her, but it was like I was on a tredmill, unable to get any closer.
She turned her head and looked at me. "Help me!" she called out, reaching her hand out towards me. I was unable to do a thing as I could only try fruitlessly to reach her.
"I'm sorry," I sobbed as I was suddenly watching many of the students die the same way. I fell through a dark hole and right back into my body.
