Waking up groggily Lou wiped the salvia off his mouth. Feeling slightly confused he looked around before picking up the empty needle. Just before Lou was about to get out from beneath the teacher’s desk, he remembered that the school was under lockdown and the person could still be outside. Hearing a firm knock on the door, Lou quickly covered his mouth just before a scream was about to erupt.

“Is anyone inside there, this is the police!” said a firm male voice followed by something that sound like a radio crackling.

‘Should I trust this person but what about the noise afterwards’’ Lou thought uncertain. ‘Maybe I’ll just take a peak’. Carefully moving to the door’s peephole, whoever it was, was holding a police badge out.

‘’Its seem that no one is in this room, I’ll do a better check once I get the key!”

Feeling someone staring intensely at him, Lou turned around and saw that the student president was peeling through the window at him. He watched silently as she held her finger to her mouth but something about it just looked wrong. The student president was someone everyone knows about. It was said that she was one of the most beautiful and kind people in the world. She had long blue hair and always had it in a ponytail with a stuff bear attached to it. She would also wear blue fingernail polish. That was it, the fingernails were not blue. Ensuring that he had his phone in his bag Lou rushed out from beneath he desk.

Almost sliding due to his scattered papers on the floor Lou used the momentum to reach the door. Just before he could open it, the rymsntic knocking begun again. ‘Wait what the fuck! Thts the soud from before!’ Lou thought as he drew his hand away from the door’s lock. ‘A officer wouldn’t do that right’. Before Lou could decide on what to do, the knocking got louder. Deciding to risk it, Lou unlocked the door and ran out of the hallway and into the direction of the officer. Taking a quick glimpse of a recording device before knocking into something. Falling down onto the floor, looking up Lou released that he recognised the officer. It was one of the officers who come to the school and talk to students every year.

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

“Are you alright Lou?” the officer asked kindly as he helped Lou up.

“What’s happening?” Lou asked, not hiding his fear and worry.

“The school is still under lockdown, but it has been decided that it safer to get the kids who are more likely at risk and place them somewhere safe!”

Following the officer, Lou explained about how he saw the student principal and his fears before the sound of glass breaking interrupted him. Looking back to the door Lou had left open a figure ran out and begun making their way towards them. The figure appeared to be a ghostly pale male who appeared as if he hadn’t eaten in ages nor been in the sun for just as long. Noticing the blood on its mouth first Lou was starting to look down when the officer moved in front of him, blocking his view.

“When I say run, you run!” the officer commanded in a hushed voice.

“Where” Lou asked feeling panic.

“Continue down the hallway and turn left, it should lead you towards the door to the carpark. You should see some officers there!”

Before Lou could say something the officer sternly told Lou to run. Deciding to follow the order, Lou turned around and begun running as fast as he could. He chose not to look back, fearing what he could see. Just as Lou turned the corner, gunshots begun to ring out, echoing all around him. With the door just within reach, there was a strange sound. Ignoring it Lou slammed into the doors, opening them. Missing his step Lou found himself falling down the stairs. Landing on the ground with a groan Lou forced himself back onto his feet. With a limp Lou looked around before catching sight of the officers. Limping his way towards the officers, Lou tried to scream for help, but he gagged, and his throat was raspy most likely from the injection he took. Seeing that one of them had turned his way, he thought they said something, but it was too distance. The closer Lou got; the voice became clearer. ‘Why is the officer yelling duck’ Lou thought. Before he could think about what to do, Lou tripped over nothing and landed on his face. Hearing gunshots, Lou looked up to see that the officers were running towards him and shooting above him. Seeing darkness fill the outer parts of his eyes, Lou passed out. Opening his eyes Lou saw that he was being loaded into an ambulance. Realising that he was going to be safe, Lou closed his eyes and drifted off peacefully. His last thoughts as he drifted off was about how he hoped the student principal would be alright and his parents wouldn’t get sick again because of him.
