Chapter 19: In Suspense.

Who said that?, Where did the voice come from?, Was that my head?, My brain playing tricks on me, maybe I was just too lost in thought that I am beginning to hear stuff, or maybe I am just not too relaxed to let go of all this troubles. Relax Bruno, I said in my head, trying to breathe in hard and exhale, the oxygen really reaching my cords, making me feel relaxed. This is all nothing Bruno, enjoy your success and leave the dead to bury themselves.
I went back downstairs, Adam and Kevin already here in my home, their faces all smiley because of our accomplishments, they rushed towards me, hugging me so tight, really grateful that all this has passed away, we all got a beautiful goodnight sleep last night, something we never had for a while.
“ You see, Micheal told you yesterday but you doubted him, saying that you were still not okay with the situation, now, haven't you seen the taste of freedom....?.”
Adam said happily, holding onto me in the friendly hug, a smile came from me, maybe I am just handling this too farther than normal, I should just accept the victory and stop with all this thinking. Death has been defeated, why should I still be going through this tantrum?, I should cheer up and enjoy this day with my friends.
“ So, who plan on going out today?....”
I offered them, wanting to really celebrate this victory with my close friends. They agreed that it would be nice, Kevin offering to phone Adrian and Micheal, he should do that, we should enjoy this day and make it one to always remember, the day we succeeded in escaping Death itself.
We have no use of going to that school again, we're now free, free from our woes, free from bondage, free from destruction. 
It was really a day filled with fun, we enjoyed ourselves to the fullest, never knew that I would one day see myself free as I am today, thought that all that was over. On our way back, we saw the principal's car drive past us, we haven't seen him since he went for questioning, this was our first time catching a glimpse of him, could have possibly waved down at him and tell him how we have succeeded in eliminating the threat holding the school's progress back. 
I know both of us don't see eye to eye, but the fact I had a hand in getting the remnant out of the school, I believe it should give him a reason to look at me differently unlike before. He believed I have nothing to offer but trouble, but this time, I have possibly proved him wrong that I can also bring peace for those who seek it, not that it was intentional, but it was still my intuition, my idea.
Since it's been long, like two minutes ago since he drove past us, I guess I should wait until the school resumes for me to meet him again.
You know that moment you feel like, yeah.... I've just done this, I've accomplished a task, I think I deserve some rewards, even though it might not be from external source, you still give yourself that internal reward, take yourself out, buy stuffs, enjoy progress, that's exactly what I did today with my friends and I'm really grateful that it was that way, enjoying to the fullest, having fun, but there's this one thing, this something you can never hide from, when you stare at the abyss, the abyss stares back at you, and you sure know about it.
With my eyes flickering open, I found myself back at that chamber, our prison, our torment house where the slaughter goes on. I looked around, thinking that I was the only one here, always having that idea that Death might come for me, but no, I wasn't the only one here, I was with the others, the numbers of survivors we have, we all were in here. Am I dreaming?, I forced myself to rub my eyes and shake my body, but no, this was as realistic as it always were, we all were back here and it really wasn't a pleasant sight. 
You can see that discomfort in everyone's faces, that look that questions, what are we doing back here?, Are we supposed to be here?, Shouldn't we be free from this?. It was a puzzle, a puzzle to solve, everyone was murmuring, panic raising and eyes staring at me like they were asking this question, I thought you defeated this witch?, How come Death is still holding us captive?.
We haven't seen her though, but as far as we're on her lare, she's definitely here, the question now is, how come were we not here yesterday?. The door before us opened and she stepped out, everybody glared at the sight, jaw dropping low, everyone scared with the new look. She looks like her body was being sown together with a hand needle or something, she had stitches all over her, gruesome stitches that still has blood on them, more like she was resurrected from the dead. How come?, She wasn't like this before, that shows our reason for not showing up at her lare was because of this, last night, she was fatally wounded.
She turned around towards my location, anger in her expression as she matched towards me, stopping before me, she tried to touch me but something was blocking her, much like she couldn't reach me.
“ When your time comes, I'll make sure you die the slowest.....”
She walked away, looking really pissed. Does this mean that she can't go out of cue?, Does it mean that she really have to follow a pattern to carry out her quest?, If that is so, I wonder if there's still any chance of me defeating her.
“ You might think you've completed the first ritual, yes..... I believe you have, but there's still two more to go, before then, I'll make sure you don't see the lights of day, I'll make sure you suffer Bruno.....”
She threatened me, her finger pointed at me as she speaks. I believe this is now a challenge in which I've a limited time of survival.
