I was really taken aback hearing the information from Death, I can't really describe my feelings with words, I'm just lost, lost in thought, lost of words and lost of hope, what can I do or say?, I feel alone and exhausted, not knowing what else to do, I have already given up and really scared to accept my fate. Am I leaving without saying my goodbyes?, I thought about making tomorrow a special day for my parents, not coming to school and spending the whole day with them because I believed that I was to die anyway, but now, now, all that hope has been crushed to dust.
I was following her into the room. Wait, Wait a minute, why am I even following her in?, Am I confused or stupid?, I don't feel charmed or anything, not even weak, I still feel like myself and eligible to do anything I usually do, why am I walking in with her like a lamb about to be slaughtered?, This is unlike you Bruno, you're just out of your senses.
With a fast turnaround and speed added with force in my core, I Punched Death in the face, I punched her like I was fighting my fellow guy and she fell backwards and out of balance, without waiting for her to regain herself, I rushed towards her head, hands holding her neck, trying to choke her to death. I can do this all this while, why was I foolishly going into that room with her?.
All she did was flick her fingers and I saw myself flying backwards, my back landing on the wall with force before I fell down, I could feel the chains gripping me again, holding me back like before. Death was just staring at me with shock, you can see the question on her face, like how?. Her hands were vibrating, like she just experienced fear, I guess she never believed that anyone of us would be making an attack on her, thought I would just foolishly walk in into that room with her, I almost did that, but got hold of myself on time.
She did something and memories flashed before us all like we were in the cinema, memories of that particular day playing, showing when she kept the sweet inside my locker and watching to see what later happened, it turns out that Michael went to that locker, took the sweet and licked it, oh yes, I can remember really clear, I really never licked that sweet, guess I am just here because my name was one of the classmates, Linda's Dad was here because he had licked the sweet.
Death was devastated, she screamed on top of her voice, her metallic voice sending painful waves to our ears which might possibly get our ears bleeding. She looked at me with anger, touching her neck where I had planned on choking her, then looked at Michael.
Oh God.... Not him. She angrily went to Micheal, tried to strike him but couldn't, possibly because it wasn't his time yet, Death cried out with a loud voice, tears falling down from her cheeks, oh God, I made Death cry, Death Day is crying all because of me, I just put her in tears.
The back of my neck was still hurting because of the force I landed with my back, I tried twisting my neck by bending it so quickly, there was a sound of crack from the bone neck, signalling that I got what I wanted, but also, I felt like I saw a ray of light come in.
Where did that ray come from?. I forced myself to turn around, seeing that there was a hole there, possibly caused because of the force I happened to land with my back which was still in pains, I forced myself to look into that hole only to be taken aback by what I saw, I was really shocked that my brain couldn't contain my sight, what I have seen through that hole, it's the principal, it's the principal's office, I can remember seeing all of that when we went for that row call, I think I found it, I think I found the last ritual.
Waking up from sleep, the pain on my back was much, more than I can handle, I gritted my teeth in pain, my eyes squeezed shut more than it was supposed to. I felt a fabric covering my face, I shook my head to get it away, only to hear screams, I opened the garment to see few people running away from the room, my parents were the only ones who stood there watching, taken aback that I was here with them, why would they prepare me like a dead person?, Don't they understand by now that this was the new normal for me, waking up after being considered dead.
“ Oh God!.... It's you Bruno, you're back, you're really back....”
My Mom came to me, hugging me so tight. Why would they think that I am dead?, Even if others doesn't believe that I'm still alive, they themselves should. “ Didn't you guys know that I was always going to wake up?, Why would you two consider me dead?....”
My Mom was silent, just enjoying the moment, feeling the happiness of having me back. “ Because you haven't woken up this late before boy..... We saw in the news that a classmate of yours committed suicide, and with you confirming to your mom that the culprit takes her victims through the row call, we made sure we got our hands on the list of your classmates who are still alive, we knew you would be next after the guy, so we was preparing for this, only to find out that the boy killed himself, meaning you're going to be last night's victim, so we have nothing to do but to consider you dead.....”
Dad explained.
That's a good point. I looked at the wall clock and realized that it was three in the afternoon, oh God.... I'm late with my plans, I picked up my phone and called Micheal and Kevin.
“ You guys should gather everyone, ask them to show up in the school, I just found out the third ritual.....”
