Chapter 14: Paying Your Assassins (2)
"Careful. He's a-'' Shiro said but he had already used to deal with the teacher in the black-belt way. He was shocked when Selema ran past him to fight the teacher who was approaching them. He tried to hold her back but she had already gone past him, carrying the club. The club also had a pointed end.
"Hey! Go away." She said, hitting the teacher with the club in the belly. "Selena! Stab him!" Klaus said as he grabbed the teacher by the neck and began to choke him with the hope that she would stab and they would be done with it. That would make him look like a fool in front of them but he did not care.
"Don't hold back! Just do it!" He told her, knowing fully well that she had not hurt anyone in her entire life and wasn't willing to do that either. She grabbed the neck of the teacher tighter and tighter but it didn't seem like she was doing anything. There was no effect on him. It was just like throwing a stone on a wall.
"No!" Klaus cried out as the teacher tried to grab him and put him in his place. And that moment I wished that that would happen. But if it did, how was I going to rescue him?
"Don't screw with a member of the Sojutsu club." He said, grabbing the neck of the man tighter, chuckling with a wicked look on his face. Only if he knew how ridiculous and
pathetic he looked.
"All right" Selena said before piercing the position of the heart with the pointed end of the club.
The pointed end had gone in pretty well and she was sure that it had gone to its heart. The monster did not fall, instead it kept struggling to be released. Selena who was shocked from what was happening complained, reminding him that she had done what she was supposed to do yet it was moving just like before. Fear came upon her face as she stared at the monster and at Klaus.
That was going to be the price he would pay for not listening to me and for pretending to be who he wasn't. I knew he wasn't the member of any karate Club but I had given in because
I didn't want to cause any trouble between us.
Now he was going to see what he had done to himself. "I pierced my heart. Why is he still moving?!" She shouted with fear written all over her face. The light died out of Klaus's face when she said that. He was supposed to die. Why was he still moving?
"Hey, pull it now." Klaus said, hoping that that would kill the man finally but I knew it wasn't. I remembered that the other man who had bitten the gym teacher could recover after his head was smashed on the school gate. The head! The head!! That was the eureka moment that would save us. I shouted at Klaus to get away from the man immediately.
"Get away from him, Klaus!" I hollered but he gave me a scowl while tightening his grip on the man. "Don't worry, I can take him." He was being too proud and that was going to kill him. He was unaware the man he had been holding was beginning to overpower him at this point.
He didn't know that but was deeply concerned about how he had grabbed the man by the neck and how Selena would rate the power of his grasp on the man's neck. He was still unaware that the man was about to turn tables. It was after some time that he began to notice what was happening.
"Why is he so strong?" He said, his voice filled with fear. He tried to overpower them again but it was too late. Selena walked away from him as the man turned while grabbing him tightly. He tried everything could to get himself off the man's grasp but it wasn't happening. I was concerned, and shocked at the same time. I couldn't move and that was the same as Selena.
He cried for help but soon grabbed the man again, trying to push him away. The man seemed so strong as he refused to budge. He bent down immediately and bit him in the arm. Klaus let out a terrifying scream and fell on the ground. Selena ran for him and started to hit the man to let him go of Klaus. Shiro was I'm pure shock as he stood there.
The kind of shock that would make your skin crawl and feel and make the hairs at the back of your neck to stan dip and tingle. That was the fear that paralyzed him as he stood there. He was instantly regretting why he didn't stop him from going when he claimed that he could do anything about these beings.
"Let go Klaus." Selena grabbed his other arm and tried to push him away but the man held onto him and refused to let go. She cried out again and increased her hold on him.
"Let go of Klaus!!" She said as she continued to hit the monster with the club. "Why? Why hasn't he let go yet?!" She said, not believing that it could still survive the blows that she had given it. Shiro held tighter to his club and clenched his teeth, the outline of the impression playing in his chin.
"I knew it. He's dead. He's dead but he's moving." He said to himself silently and watched the scene. Selena was still rushing to help him. She was not aware that what she was doing was very dangerous. She kept lulling at Klaus and Klaus was also pulling away but nothing was happening.
"Klaus" she continued to tug at him to pull him away but he wasn't coming off. The man was looking for a new place to bite as he grabbed Klaus. Shiro knew that things were getting very bad now. He had to help him out. Just then Selena turned around towards him and asked him for his help.
Chapter 15: Paying Your Assassins (3)
They were coming for us but they would surely not be able to cross the barricade that had been laid on top of the stairs because they had lost their sense of reasoning. They couldn't climb or break. They would just push, and thankfully the barricade was a very strong one, so if it was going to fall then it would be months of pushing, considering how weak-minded they were. That was our only hope and the moment. And we were not going to go back on it.
I watched in horror as Selena stood there, not responding to my calls. I screamed at her to get the hell out of there immediately but she wasn't listening. I got angry immediately but I didn't dare to go down. Unless I would be transformed into them. She stood there, ready to attack the flesh-eating monster that was coming toward her. She waited with her knife at the ready. It seemed she wanted to die.
I continued to call her name to run up but she didn't seem to hear me. She was transfixed to the spot staring at the minister as I walked toward her slowly. Anger and hate burned through me at that moment, as I watched her. I recognized the monster when I saw him. He was no longer a human being. He was now a monster and he was going to eat me no matter how close we were when he hadn't lost his sense of reasoning. That was the most painful thing about this daylight nightmare.
Our best friends could no longer recognize us as they turn into what we do not know. The guy who was coming used to be my friend. But he was not among my best friends though. He was groaning as he came. The growls were like he was saying something. Something I couldn't understand. But I was not going to hear whatever he wanted to say. He was no longer one of us and I had to do something about him immediately else I would die horribly like them and turn into the monster they were. Selena was still standing there as it got closer and closer.
Finally, it came to her. With a shout, she raised the sharp knife and stabbed it in the heart. It groaned and fell to its knees. Selena took out the knife and began to run up the stairs but it grabbed her ankle and began to push her toward it.
One thing about these things was that they could do things very tightly so that they would not have the chance to escape. She began to cry as the monster came closer and closer to her. It was going to eat her. And I wouldn't mind losing her because she chose to let her guard down at the end despite all the warnings that I had given her. She was going to pay for not listening. Tears began to well up in my eyes seeing that she would soon become one of them.
"What are you doing?" Klaus screamed at her, still finding it unbelievable that she stood there and waited for the monster to come to her before she hit it. Was she aware of what she was doing to herself? Was she aware that as a woman she was probably weaker than them and they could grasp and pull her close so easily?
I had lost all hope when I saw her being dragged by the monster. But Klaus had not lost hope and that was what saved her in the end. The monster continued to drag her until she was out of reach between us. It gnarled and saliva drooled from its mouth. I watched in horror as it ventured down towards her to eat her but thankfully Klaus was alert.
"But? You are supposed to die!" Selena said as she screamed and kicked and flailed her arms about and cursed. But it was too late for her now. Well too late for me.
"No go away " she cried out as she tried to turn towards us for help. But as she was midway into turning her head around, the monster dragged her farther. With a scream, Klaus began to run down the staircase.
With a scream, he got to the monster and kicked it away. It let go of Selena's leg and fell as blood poured from its jaw. Klaus had been able to do that even with the pain that was in his arm. He had been bitten but it was a very small bite. So it would not affect much before it healed. It was based on hope, I did not know if he would turn to one of them soon. "Klaus!" Selena said as she grabbed Klaus tight and gasped instead of breathing. For a moment she felt that her life was going to be tossed away like that. I didn't care.
If anything happened to her then she deserved it. Why would she do what she had just done? How could she have stood back waiting for a monster that was that slow? I scowled at her before going down to help her up. If she continued to lie down like that thanking Klaus for saving her life then they would soon come and grab her again. That was something she was not aware of. I growled impatiently as I looked down there.
"Are you going to sit down there all day until they get here? Get up and come along immediately!!!" I screamed at them and they stood up immediately.
"You're just incredible Selena! What the hell did you just do? You just put yourself in danger! You ignored my warnings!" I said, grabbing her by the arm and forcefully drawing her up the stairs with me as Klaus ran up front. Maybe if I didn't hold that way she would put herself in another danger and I was not ready to lose her to these monsters. Klaus cautioned her as he ran, holding his arm and wincing in pain occasionally.
