Saken stared at the destruction playing out below him, he was still frozen in shock. Saken couldn’t think, he couldn’t process the amount of information being thrown directly in his face. If he wasn’t already sitting, he would’ve collapsed into the nearest chair. It took him a full three minutes before he realized that the other people weren’t humans either. There were zombies, werewolves, ghosts, and many more that he couldn’t name. Saken was convinced that he was going to die of shock before the teacher asked his name.

“I’m sorry?” Saken was so lost in his thoughts he only barely registered that the teacher was talking to him

“What’s your name child?” The teacher repeated grumpily.

“S-Saken Kenji ma’am.” Saken suddenly wondered if this was actually a woman.

“Saken. Hm, yes I see- so you’re new around here?” The teacher questioned.

“Well-” Saken didn’t want to admit that he had come here accidentally.

“Don’t even try to lie, you appeared in that seat with quite the show. Stirring up wind, blinding half the class and scaring the other half that couldn’t see in the first place.” The teacher lectured. Guess that cat was never in the bag.

“O-Okay yeah… I’m not from around here.” Saken admitted sheepishly.

“Well in that case we’re changing up the lesson then.” The teacher said, erasing what she wrote from the blackboard.

“Wait what?” Saken’s heart jumped to his throat when suddenly every student stood up at once and stared at him with big grinning faces.

“Class! Let’s show him how this world works.” She smiled menacingly as the entire class attacked.

Saken’s first instinct was to grab the arms of the student closest to him, and throw them at someone else. This worked but he only took out three students and before he even had a chance to breathe he was completely surrounded by the rest of them.

“You managed to take out three?” scoffed a voice in the crowd.

“It’s gonna take a lot more than that to save yourself.” Giggled a female voice from off to Saken’s left side. Saken didn’t respond as he tackled a student at the thinnest part of the crowd.

“Don’t let him get away!!” screamed someone but they were too slow, Saken had already escaped the classroom and was running down the halls full sprint.

“I have to find the way out of her-” Saken was jerked to a halt as something grabbed him by the head and lifted him off his feet.

“And what are you running from so fast?” a surprisingly sweet voice said.

Saken was too stunned from the grab to respond, he wheezed out something about his classmates trying to kill him but that was about as much as he could get out.

“Awwww so the new blood is getting hunted down, is he? That’s cute.. The vampires are always starving for some fresh meat.” The voice giggled at his situation.

Saken finally managed to look at who was talking to her, and his terror hit him like a frieght train. The woman was long and skinny, her limbs lanky and her hands had huge claws at the tips. Her hair was a long and tangled black mess, but her face was quite the sight. With sickly pale skin she had startlingly blue eyes. It reminded Saken of a sunny day in his hometown. Saken then saw the mouth, and almost screamed. Her jaw reached her chest, and down her throat there were rows upon rows of sharp fangs lining her esophagus. She smiled at Saken and now he felt like he was gonna die.

“I won’t hurt you.”

Saken was not expecting kindness here. “You won’t?”

She shook her head. “I don’t like the way the school treats newbies.” She set him down gently.

“Do you have a place I can hide?” Saken asked her.

“Mmmmm… I do. You probably wouldn’t like it.” She responded

“Where is- nevermind. I’m going to hide in the empty classroom.” Saken muttered as he opened the closet door.

“Hope you stay alive.” The girl smiled as she wished him luck.

“Thanks- but before you go, what’s your name?” Saken asked.

“Mina. Mina Shindu.” Mina replied leaving before Saken could tell her his name.

“Mina…” Saken whispered her name under his breath.

“She could be an ally.” he thought before slipping away into the shadows to make a plan to escape this hell.
