51.16% THE SEWING ROOM / Chapter 22: FEAR

Capítulo 22: FEAR

Markus and I looked at one another wondering if that boy was gone. The building felt eerily quiet and very occupied like we were not the only ones on this floor anymore. Of course we weren't alone, that much I know but it felt like there was more than just the boy with us. I peeped through the keyhole to see if the boy was still standing there and he was, with his eye also placed on the keyhole. I moved back fearfully and heard a chuckle from outside that had Markus' eyes widen in fear.

"My room is close to Br Michael's room so if we shout he will hear us." Markus said as he walked to the lone window.

I watched him open it noisily and he started screaming for help. The banging on the door resumed with much more force and I got up to hold the door that seemed like it would break at any moment.

"Brother Michael!" Markus screamed,"Help us!"

He continued screaming and eventually Br Michael shouted for him to keep quiet.

"What is the meaning of your dumb foolery?!" he asked annoyed.

"There's an unknown boarder here and he is quite violent!" Markus shouted and at the same time a hand drove through the wooden door.

I gasped and was about to back away when Markus hit the hand with a broom. The broom broke in half but Markus didn't stop and used the end he was still holding onto to push the hand out the other side. Cuts and bruises were evident on the hand and upon closer inspection I realized that the hand did not belong to the boy but a man. The hand was pulled away and in it's stead a foot broke through another opening. Markus started hitting the foot and I decided to help by stepping on it from above at an angle I know will break the bone. The bone however, did not break as expected and it made me even more scared than I already was. If olive was here to see me she would be laughing at me or crying and complaining that I was not strong.

I used more force with my foot but when I was about to hit it the person pulled the leg away and I ended up just hitting the ground. It sent a jolt of pain up my leg and I groaned. The leg from the other side re emerged and hit my own that was straight with the hole in the door. I fell down and saw how Marcus mutilated the foot mercilessly. If this was a normal person surely they would be screaming or doing something to save their foot but no it didn't do anything like that but kept on wanting to attack. Where on earth is brother Michael.

"Who are you?" I finally heard brother Michael's voice on the other side. The banging on the door stopped and the mutilated foot was pulled away. There was a series of disgruntled noises from the other side and then followed a loud scream that I highly doubt is brother Michael's and then silence. It was quiet for a little while and then we heard a light tapping on the door.

"You can come out now," brother Michael said.

I looked at Marcus to see if he was making any effort to get up and go out but he was also stuck in his place as if his feet were glued to the floor. If brother Michael is an oddinary man himself wouldn't he need help in fighting back such as strong creature. I tried to get up from the floor but my leg would not let me.

"Are you also thinking what I'm thinking?" Markus asked me

"If you're thinking about how he managed to fight back that thing then I am thinking what you're thinking." We remained quiet and brother Michael did not make an attempt to bring us out which made it even more scary. At least I know that we were not the only ones awake in the whole building because I could hear noises from the floor beneath.

"If you boys are planning to sleep in there then I am leaving." brother Michael said.

Marcus moved from where he was standing and went to open the door where brother Michael was still standing like a statue.

"Use Mr Rogers' room for tonight so that in the morning I can get this door replaced and everything will be back to the way it was."

"I do not think anything will be back to the way it was. We cannot stay here alone." I said from where I sat on the ground.

Brother Michael glanced at me with a look of annoyance and then he looked back at Marcus,

"If you are saying you want to continue sleeping like this then no I cannot allow that. The only time I will give you to recuperate is a week and nothing more. If you cannot sleep on your own then you might as well just go back home running to your mothers. Are you injured Mr Rogers?" he asked me and I nodded my head. Wasn't it obvious that was injured.

He walked into the room and then knelt down beside me. I took that chance to look in the hallway where five other men was standing. At least I know that he did not do it alone so my heart is a little bit settled,

"What happened to the boy?" I asked but brother Michael was a little bit hesitant in answering my question,"What happened to the boy I repeated a little bit louder so that even the men in the passage could hear my question.

"He jumped off the stairs."one of the men answered while brother Michael wrapped a cloth tightly around my ankle.

"What do you mean. Committed suicide Marcus asked terrified.

"He must have seen that he was outnumbered so he jumped off. If you want you can see the body at the bottom of the stairs." I shivered at how cold brother Michael's voice sounded and I wondered just how many people he had seen die for him to have reached this level of indifference.

He got up from where he was squatting and he made his way to were the other men were standing in the passage. They whispered a few things to one another and the five men went down probably to drag away the body before any of the other students saw what had happened. Markus and I did not stay too long and we went to the room that was designated for me. The room itself was creepy and with what had happened it made it even more scary. The fact that that boy had been standing at this door makes me uneasy. We left the door wide open even though Br Michael protested and in that moment it really did not matter to me what he thought about us.

I barely slept. The moment I closed my eyes I would hear and see things that made me open my eyes again and Markus is even worse because he refuses to let himself doze off. We made it through the night hanging onto our sanity as best as we could. Vee won't believe me if I tell her about this but maybe she'll believe Markus.

"We aren't using the personal bathroom, are we?" I asked as Markus and I got ready to go and bath.

"Off course not. I'm feeling grateful for the common bathroom for once." he answered.

We walked past the bathroom like it wasn't even there and headed downstairs. All the other boys looked a little bit traumatized no doubt about last night's incident. When we were done bathing some of Markus' classmates followed us to our floor out of curiosity to look at the damaged door that had blood stains on it.

"Did you guys sleep?" one of them asked shakily as he looked at the door from afar.

"Not a wink." Markus commented.

"What a welcome newbie." another, seemingly braver guy, said playing with the door or what was left of the door.

"I don't think you boys have rooms here." Br Michael said suddenly standing beside me.

I was obviously startled and so we're the other boys who stood at attention when Br Michael's voice reached their ears. The slightly bowed and left immediately without another word and our floor fell quiet again. I looked at the stoic and calm face of Br Michael for a moment and was horrified by how his eyes rolled in their sockets to look at me. I walked to Markus eyeing the man who chose to remain silent and then we left him in the corridor to get dressed. We didn't waste time because of fear of the unknown and we left the building with Br Michael.

He left as soon as we were out of the building and I assume he is going to his room to resume the slumber that we disturbed. On our way to the classes I overheard a pair of girls talking about something that had happened that morning in their dorm.

"I want to leave Sky rooms." a tall brunette said.

"Why? I heard they have the best rooms and all." a shorter blonde said smiling up at her friend.

"This morning in the bathroom one of the junior girls got possessed. It was so terrifying!"

"Possessed?" the shorter girl inquired,"Oh come on. You believe in that crap."


Capítulo 23: NOT A COINCIDENCE

Great! Olive and I just get here and already strange things are happening. What is the meaning of this?! I hope she had a peaceful night though I highly doubt she had a peaceful morning because her room is also in Sky rooms. Markus showed me to my class and he left only to come back about ten minutes later, interrupting the lesson, only to tell me that Olive is the 'possessed girl'. I run out of the classroom with him and on our way to the dorm we run into Br Michael.

"Where are the two of you going this fine school packed morning?" he asked stressing the word school.

"We were on our way to see Olive Rogers. We heard she had an accident this morning." Markus explained as calmly as he could.

Br Michael looked at my panicked expression and then took a small white sheet of paper were he wrote: Pass to girls' dormitorium. He handed it to me and then took it back to add a number two probably to show that it was for the both of us. He also added two hours at the bottom and off Markus and I went. We saw shorty go into a room and instantly knew that it was obviously Olives room. I heard Elise say something to Vee but paid no attention to it and barged in followed by Markus who looked pale.

She had a few scratches on her face and cracked lips and the whole sight made my heart ache. I asked if she was alright and to my surprise she said she wasn't and that everything was hurting. I spoke to her for a little while but we will interrupted by Sr Drevin who walked in with an old man who she identified as the doctor, Mr Buffers.

Markus and I were told to leave the room along with Maria. But the both of us decided to stay back while Maria was the only one who actually obeyed Sr Drevin's orders. When Sr Drevin opened the door for Mr buffers to leave, she was shocked to find us still standing at the door but she let us go in anyway.

We stayed with Olive a little while longer but after two hours we had to leave because our past had expired and we would be liable for punishment if found in the girls dormitorium. I could not bear the thought of leaving Olive alone like that so after leaving when we met Sr Drevin going back to the girls dormitorium. I decided to follow her because I knew she was going to be taking Olive to the clinic so that she could have a proper examination. I pleaded with her to let me follow her and she eventually let me come along because I could help carry Olive. She had been unable to move when we had seen her earlier so Sr Drevin could not just walk Olive to the clinic but had to carry her.

Somehow when we got to the room Olive was standing by the window and honestly she looked better but the relief was short-lived because she started choking on air. I rushed towards her, took her in to my arms and run out even though I had no idea where I was taking her. The only thing that was on my mind was clinic but after going far I realized that I had no idea where the clinic was. Luckily Markus had followed behind me and he showed me where the clinic was. We couldn't stay long with Olive because she had to rest and even if we did she was unconscious the whole time. When we did leave I felt my heart feel heavy. That attack on me and Marcus was not a coincidence and neither was this whole possession thing with Olive. It was as if the two attacks were meant for the two of us. It is not possible for this to just be a coincidence I have to get to the bottom of this and some part of me tells me that Elise knows something. I do not trust her one bit.

The drama that had happened throughout the day had had my mind preoccupied and I had not even thought about what would happen tonight once we where in our dorm but I will not start worring about that right now because we still have prep and dinner.

During prep I did not do any thing productive because I kept staring at the Elise and I know she knows that I'm looking at her. After prep, I rushed after her and stopped her before she could leave to go to her room.

"What is the matter?" she asked me calmly when I grabbed her arm and drag her to a quiet a place,

"You know what happened with Olive, don't you."

"Yes I know what happened to her. She got possessed." she said calmly and it annoyed me even further,

"Don't you dare say that about my sister."

"She was in possessed. You were not there so why are you so sure besides she can't even say the Lord's Prayer so it's likely that she was possessed."

"She was not possessed you little short sack of sadness and depression."

"Name calling is also considered bullying Mr Rogers."

"Call me a bully if you want me to but you say my sister is possessed and I will hit you."

"Threatening a fellow student, that's another offense Mr Rogers."

"I don't care, shorty, just tell me what you did to Olive."

She seemed a little amused by defiance and it brought a smile to her face. I looked straight into her eyes that had a strange glow of joy in them and it made me press her harder against the wall. She groaned as her smile faded and then she managed to turn me and pin me to the wall with strength that no one would know she possessed.

"Listen Ollie, your sister has crossed paths with someone she was not supposed to and I am trying my best to help her. I'll tell you what I told her, stay out of trouble."

"Who is it? I'll teach them a lesson they will never forget." I said between my teeth.

"The girl has already learnt a hard lesson and she hasn't forgotten it but you know what...." she stopped as if expecting an answer from me then she continued,"...she is still bad."

Is the cause of Olive's condition a witch?

"What are you doing here?" I heard Markus ask.

He was standing a little bit behind Elise but I hadn't seen him because I was looking at her. Beside him was a sullen looking Maria. Elise released me and walked away, her long hair fluttering in the evening breeze. I looked back at Markus and Maria and moved closer to them.

"She was asking me to stay out of trouble, nothing much." I told them.

"Did she have to be that close to you?" Maria asked.

"Ask her. I was also surprised by the closeness." I defended myself.

"Just think about what would have happened to you two if Sr Drevin or Br Michael had been in our place." Markus warned and I nodded.

"Let go and eat. We are already late." Maria said starting to walk away.

I looked where Elise had disappeared to and thought about what she had said and then I followed Markus and Maria to the cafeteria. Dinner was peaceful which made it easy to fully taste the poorly cooked food and poorly processed fruit juice. I tried my best to eat as much as I could but the thought of Olive sleeping all alone in the clinic tightened my stomach and I ate less. When we separated from Maria after dinner, I noticed how worried Markus looked. He kept looking in the direction of the clinic even more than I did and my heart went out to him.

"I didn't think you actually liked her that much already." I said and Markus shot me a sad smile.

"I didn't think so too. But here I am... wondering how she's doing."

There was a moment of silence after that and for the rest of the way to our dorm it was just us exchanging sighs. When we got to our floor the first thing I noticed was the door to Markus' room that had been replaced. We moved some of our things back in there and went to the bathroom. I guess I was just too worried about Vee to pay enough attention to anything else. On any other normal day I would have been alarmed that the bathroom seemed foggy.

"Let's get some rest so we can see Liv in the morning." Markus said.

"Hey Mark, do you think this place is a little foggy?" I asked and this made Markus looked around.

"Let's go and sleep. I don't think I can handle any more scares."

"Yeah. Let's go."

We left the bathroom and walked quickly to Markus' room, ignoring the tapping sounds that erupted from the bathroom were we had come from.
