My parents were surprised and shocked of me deciding to go to school, they didn't actually agree, saying they don't know what I am planning or my motive for trying to head back to that school, despite the controversy going on about it.
“ Are you crazy Bruno?..... what wrong have we done to you?, You want to go kill yourself or something?..... Why are you trying to put us in this position?.”
They pleaded with me, My Dad blocking the entrance door and my mom trying to hold me still so as to speak with me. They don't understand, they're now the reason I'll even end up losing my life if I don't show up in school, Death Day ordered us not to miss, we thought she was just being kind of scared that we're about escaping her trap, but no, she was just issuing us a warning of our fate if we fail to show up.
Ten ex students dead in one night?, That's Death's doing, she wouldn't just let them go, just like she said last night, we're her friends, she's the one to decide whom to let go of, seeing from the situation, no one is escaping this, and if I'm to fail showing up, then I'm definitely ending up like the others.
“ Mom..... I've to be there, if I don't show up, then I will pay with my life, that's not what I want, and I believe it's also not what you guys want, seeing me dead all of a sudden....”
I tried explaining, but it doesn't seem like this argument is going my way. It's getting late and I really have to be there's in that school. I actually don't know what I am going to do there, the News reported that the school have been sealed for proper investigation, but would that keep us safe?, Would that be an excuse to Death?, Definitely no, instead it will give her more reasons to finish us up just like those victims last night.
“ You know that's not what we want Bruno, yet here you're, trying to go back to that death ground, didn't you see the news?, The school have been sealed, there's no one there, what're you really going there for?, What're you going to do there.....?.”
My Dad asked, not leaving the door, not trying to take any chances at all. I can see the fear in both of my parent's faces, I don't want them to go through all this, but... But I just have to go and they don't just happen to understand. I'll be dying tonight if I don't show up there, they might think they're protecting me, not knowing they're putting me in a lot of danger by getting on the way.
“ Dad, Mom..... I wouldn't be alive tomorrow if I don't show up just like the others definitely did, I'm in a grave danger here, Death warned us about this, the reason ten of my former classmates lost their lives last night was because they changed school, none of the dead students were still attending our school, so with me missing today is no difference to changing school, so I would be striked tonight if I fail to show up.....”
My Dad seems to reminisce on what I just said, probably realizing that there's some truth in it, they would be putting my life in danger by standing on my path. Dad ordered Mom to allow me, but she didn't agree with him, she just held onto me.
“ Mom!.... If I don't go, then it's probably my dead body you would be holding tomorrow.”
A slap landed on my face for the threat, she's trying to be strong, but definitely can't listen to that coming from me, I know my word is too direct, but me being a dead body tomorrow would be way worse, I know that, Dad knows that, she too knows that too..... I'm not saying that to get an advantage out of this situation, me too that's going to that school is in fear, but it would be way worse when I don't stay alive by tomorrow.
Getting to the school, I saw the others, all seated around the school gate and the gate locked and sealed, definitely the police work. There were so many of us out here, despite the fact the News said that the school has been shutdown for the meantime, we all here happens to know what's at stake here, the press still don't believe that this has something to do with ghost work, they're twisting the News, trying to make it feel like some natural circumstances or food poisoning stuffs maybe, but we all are no more kids, we know what we're up against, not something the government can handle, not even sealing the school gate can save us from our doomed fate.
Counting the numbers of students present, we're 25 in numbers, meaning that since students are still not here already, they're absent. I really wonder how serious they're taking this, don't they know that their lives is at stake or what?, I don't actually know their reasons, maybe their parents are actually doing exactly the same thing mine did, holding me back.
I was about planning on taking few of my few friends with me so that we can go inform their parents about the risk at hand, but all of a sudden, the key used in sealing the gate broke open and gently opened by itself..... Oh my God, this is happening real before us, the gate moving by itself.
I've never been more scared than now, other times everything has been going on, it's always in the dream, but this right now is physical, something no one can deny, that's a signal that shows we're needed inside. Everyone looked at each other, fear on every faces, knowing this wasn't like the others. They all believes that I am the bravest one here at the moment, so my actions boost their morales, maybe I should act like this was all normal, they'll definitely follow me in, so I made the first step in.
