Chapter Five ~Things are about to get bloody

'Things are about to get bloody'

My name is Max Kenturkyn,I'm one of the six.Note that our group ain't like a colt or anything or kind of a group of heroes or that stuff.We weren't supposed to even meet.It was like we were cursed,like it was kind of a prophesy,no one could stop that.That all being said,I surely must admit at some point I'm glad that we met somehow.I know,I'm not an optimist but I try to be.Hilgate High School was supposed to be a typical school,but it wasn't that feasible because of our existence.We were the corrupt of the school,even if it meant preventing people from dying.

All that Tiffany saw was black,everywhere.She was lost of where she was.Everything was gloomy. "Hello!!",she suddenly woke up,but everything was stiil black,she stood up and gazed around."What the-hello!!Anyone?",she yelled.She began to walk forward and she noticed that the area was inestimable then she started running.She stopped after a couple of metres and rested her hands on her knees trying to regulate her breathing from exhaustion. "Wh-what the hell is-",she then saw a man dressed in black with a black hat and a red axe standing in front of her a couple of metres apart.Her eyes grew wider. "No no no,get the hell away from me!!",she yelled.He took a step forward and she leaned back a bit,he took a few steps forward as she gasped in fright then she turned around and started running while looking back.The man was catching up chasing her. "Leave me alone!!",she yelled while running then she stumbled and fell with her front.She turned around breathing heavily and the man clasped her neck,she groaned a bit and began to punch his arm. "Let-Let m-me go!!",she struggled,he raised her up,she was fidgeting.He pulled up his face off with his other hand revealing white sharp teeth that resembled dog teeth.He had no eyes,nose nor ears.The rest of his face was black only.Tiffany was filled with fright.She then screamed as he was about to bite her face off then she suddenly woke up and found herself laying on a hospital bed.She deliberately opened her eyes,staring up the ceiling,hearing that beeping sound of her heartbeat on the machine. She felt a hand clasped with hers,she looked at it and saw Trina,she was sitted on a chair beside her bed while asleep laying her head on Tiffany's right thigh with her hand clasped Tiffany's. "Oh my God you're awake",her mother rushed and embraced her with a hug.It was 8:000am. "Mmf,...mom",Tiffany spoke. "Tell me honey,what really happened?A panick attack?The time I mentioned that scientist you seemed out of it,you know him?",her mother asked. "The scientist?" "Yes Baltimosonlivich",she replied. "Oh no,no no no no no no",Tiffany started panicking attempting to get out of the bed. "Mrs....I thought I informed you not to come in here",the nurse said behind her."As you can see she's not yet serene she need to rest" "Oh uh yeah uh,I'm so sorry honey,I didn't mean to make you uneasy",her mother said. "Mom?",Trina spoke as she opened her eyes. "Come on sweety,we'll come back again",Tiffany's mother grabbed Trina then she resisted. "Noo!!I want to stay with big sis!!",she yelled. "Ma'am please understand the health of your older daughter",the nurse said. "Okay okay,come on sweety,let's go for ice cream and we'll come back soon to Tiffany okay?",she said. "You promise?" "Promise,....now let's go....",she lifted her up and carried her behind her back."Hang in there alright sweety?We'll come back soon" "Okay mom",Tiffany replied and they departed.She soon woke up after an hour.She faced up the ceiling and sighed a bit,she looked at her left side at the stand and saw a note. "What the,did the nurse leave this note here?",she asked herself as she unfolded it open.It was written "meet with your friends only at locker 34".She read and widened her eyes.She took a moment for it to sink in.She waved her head peeking outside the door to see if there were any nurses or doctors lingering around,she found none then she pulled out the drips. "Arrgh,fuck that hurts!",she whispered and wore her clothes,took her phone,opened the window lightly and gently.She looked back. "Uh,...sorry mom",she jumped out and she fell due to her diziness which was a bit still effective,she could barely stand but she managed to grasp balance.It was 9:30am,she headed to school ASAP! She arrived and entered the building and stepped into the corridor.It was empty,everyone was attending their usual classes.She walked forward and turned right then she saw Chloe and Riley standing by the locker.She approached them. "Um...hey guys",she greeted from behind. "Omg Tiffany,you're okay",Chloe tunred around and hugged her at her arms length. "Mmf....um,yes I am...but,what gives?",she asked. "Your mom came in early today and informed the principal about what happened yesterday",said Chloe. "Yeah,did you like had a brain freeze or something?",Riley asked. "No,actually I......wait wait guys!That name,that name that we fantasized about claiming that no one goes by that name,when we were trying that freaking ritual you remember?",Tiffany asked as she whispered. "Ohh,yeah,like anyone goes by that absurd name",Riley leaned her shoulder against the locker beside her. "Yeah,like seriously, who would even-" "He exists alright?!",Tiffany exclaimed a bit as she froze Chloe's sentence. "Wait....what?You can't be serious,...tell me you're joking",Riley said. "I'm not... okay,when I arrived home I saw him on the news",Tiffany looked down in forlornness,"he's just a random scientist who was chasing his dreams...well he was,it was stated that his internal organs just shutted down out of the blue and dropped down perfoming a test of his own.Now people are claiming that it was caused by his chemicals during the experiment". "What?He was real?",Chloe asked in shock. "Yes he was,that's when I had a panick attack the moment I saw it on the news",she said."We killed a person".They all went quiet for a moment.Rin arrived. "Um,what are you all doing here?",he asked from behind as they all looked back. "Rin?...Yeah I've been meaning to ask though what are you two doing here though?",Tiffany asked as Marko and Max arrived. "Well this is a weird coincidence",Max said. "You don't say",Marko said. "What the...what is going on here",Riley asked. "I don't know about you but I'm simply following this message I was sent this morning,...about a locker",Rin said. "Wait what?Did you just say a locker?",Tiffany asked. "Wait what did you just receive the same message as we did?",Chloe asked. "Wait what did you just say the same message,the message on a note?",Max asked. "Wait wh-" "Can everyone stop saying WAIT WHAT!!.....Its driving me insane",Riley snarled. "Guys....I think its the man with the axe",Tiffany said. "Haha,alright nice try Tiffany,you probably sent us those notes to prank us again",Max said. "Jesus Christ Max,I don't even know where the fuck you live",Tiffany said. "Uh-um,...uh,okay this...is starting to freak me out",Max said. "Starting to?As for us we've been freaked out from the beginning of this shit and you didn't believe us",Chloe said. "Wait,guys,if we received the same message about the same locker,doesn't it mean that we all are standing beside it?",Marko asked as they all deliberately looked beside them.They all saw a locker with a number on it '34' "Ummm,should we....open it?",Chloe asked. "Mmf,I'll do it,since you're all chickening",Max said and confidently opened the locker then he hummed and covered his mouth and rushed to the restroom. "Umm,Max!Um",Marko yelled. "What?What is in there?",Riley asked. "Let me take look",Marko said as he peeked and hummed,covered his mouth and rushed to the restroom also. "Uhmm,okay this is...um",Chloe said. "Uhm,okay I'll take a look then",Tiffany attempted to look but Chloe stopped her. "No Tiffany,you've been through a lot lately",Chloe said. "Fine,I'll look",Rin looked."uggh,...bloody hell",Rin blocked his nose with his back hand but he didn't rush to the restroom. "What is it?",Riley asked. "Uhhh,I don't...think you should see this",Rin said. "Ugh",Riley pushed Rin aside and looked with Chloe then she gasped and they both vomitted in an instant. "Okay you guys are acting stran-",Tiffany decided to look.She widened her eyes after seeing the object.A fresh head of a human.The head of the scientist Baltimosonlivich,was staring her right before her eyes,with its eyes open.Tiffany forgot to breath for a couple of seconds due to fright.She dropped down to her knees because of her knees trembling. "Tiffany!",Chloe rushed to her aid and held her at her arms length.She started weeping and covered her face with both of her hands. "Tiffany....is she...okay?",Riley asked. "Really?",Chloe looked up to her as she said. "I-I was just,..trying to...okay let's help her get on her feet",Riley grasped Tiffany's other hand as Chloe grasped the other one.She managed to got on her feet then she dropped down again. "I-I'm sorry,I-",Tiffany said as she got up once more. "I think there's a note behind",Rin reached behind the head and pulled out a note that had blood on it.It read 'Grab the object behind the head and bring it to the house'. "Tiffany snatched the note from Rin's hand and read it,she tore it off and took out the object.It was a red axe,the same as before.Then she started heading to the exit. "Tiffany!Wait,we should cover it up",Chloe rushed with her backpack and put the axe inside. "Give me that!",Tiffany snatched the bag out of Chloe's hands continuing to the exit.They all went to the house and stood outside. "This idea is way beyond absurd guys",Max said. "Precisely like,why are we even obeying the murderer?We should call the cops",Marko said. "Oh great here goes Mr peacemaker,always trying to find the proper way to end a complicated conflict",Rin said. "I'm sorry but have you seen what this man is capable of?",Marko asked. "Oh yes,I have,a hundred percent and I should be the one asking you that,just think this through you dummy,he like actually have a clue where we all live.What if we tell the cops then he comes knocking at our doors like a grim reaper hungry to spill blood?",Rin asked. "Who are you calling a dummy?!",Marko yelled and faced him. "Who else,there's only one dummy here",Rin replied. "Don't test me ....hawk!",Marko responded. "Guys guys,this isn't the proper time to be quarelling right now!!",Chloe said.Tiffany headed to the entrance door silently as they all followed.She got in,took out the axe and threw it against the wall. "Here's your stupid axe!",Tiffany snarled then she turned around and left as the others glanced at each other afterwards and left.They arrived back at school,it was now 11:30am. "Shit!We're totally screwed!",Max said. "Yeah,who comes to school at eleven?",Riley said. "I think I'll see you guys tomorrow,I have cheerleader practice after school",Chloe said. "Yeah,same here,I've got Basketball practice afterwards",Marko replied. "What about you guys?",Chloe asked. "I'll probably head to the town library later on",Tiffany replied,her mood shifted from light to gloomy. "Mmf,I have a meeting with the hawks,they might be wondering where I've been for the past days",Rin said. "Well then it seems everyone will be occupied afterwards.Well,..nos vemos manana everyone",Max said in Spanish translating 'See you tomorrow' heading to his class as the others did as well.Afterwards they were all put in detention for late coming.Later on they were dismissed and proceeded with their sport practices while Tiffany decided to departed early to the town library.She began to study,the time was 17:00pm.The cumunolimbus clouds gathered and the sky rumbled and it started to rain.Tiffany was entirely asleep then.She was long gone drifting in her sleep. "Tiffany!",she suddenly woke up and saw a hand on her shoulder,it was Chloe. "Chloe?What are you....doing here?",Tiffany asked rubbing her eye. "You fell asleep dummy,come on,there's a book I want to show you come on",Chloe grabbed Tiffany's hand pulling her. "Okay okay",Tiffany chuckled a bit as she stood up with Chloe on the lead.She entered a column with novel books.She pulled a black book and opened it. "Look,this one is entirely one of a kind you see",Chloe said browsing it.Tiffany laughed a bit and decided to take a look at it.Her eyes widened,she glanced at Chloe for a moment,she was smiling browsing the book.That book,the dark sinister book.She glanced at the book then back at Chloe. "Oouu,this is the best part,come and see",Chloe rushed toward the sit and sat there while Tiffany was left behind while frozen stiff,both shocked and flummoxed. "Um...Chloe?Um that book is....Chloe?",Tiffany said while deliberately approaching her from behind. "Chloe?....",she called her but she didn't answer nor turned her head around.Tiffany got closer and placed her hand on her shoulder. "Chloe!!",she shook her as Chloe faced up to her but apparently she had no face at all.Tiffany startled in fright,stumbled and fell on her front.She turned around and suddenly Chloe wasn't there.Tiffany's breath got heavier,she got up and went to the desk where Chloe was but the book was gone. "Chloe!!",she called out,the library seemed much darker.No one was available.She heard foot steps but she couldn't tell where they were coming from."Who's there?!",she yelled.The foot steps kept getting closer and closer.She was breathing heavy and gulping,looking every direction,spinning around.They stopped and there was dark silence.Tiffany just froze there,her knees were trembling.Then suddenly out of the blue a hand clasped her neck from behind!! "Ahhhhgghhh!!",she screamed and she then fully woke up from her dream. "Shhhhh",one of the library attendance hushed her. "Uhm,...sorry....sorry",she whispered."Ugh,I think I fell asleep studying these shit".She got up stuffed her books in her backpack and departed.The rain was now serene.She arrived home,a bit wet but not entirely. "Tiffany!",her mom rushed to her and embraced her with a hug. "Mmf" "Gosh I was super worried,I thought you were kidnapped or something.Hey!Why did you badge out of the blue like that young lady?What if you had collapsed out there?!",her mom yelled. "Mom?Please don't yell at big sis like that",Trina spoke behind them with her puppy eyes and both of her hands clasped onto each other. "Uh....mm,don't ever do that again okay?Trina was worried all day",her mom said. "I hear you mom,I'm sorry I made you both worry,especially you my little puppy,come here",Tiffany said as she kneeled to Trina and she rushly embraced Tiffany with a hug. "Big sis,...don't do that again,I-I don't leave me!",Trina said while she wept emotionally. "Aww Trina,....I'll never leave you okay,I'm here now,I will always be there for you,I promise",Tiffany replied. "Okay you two,...come to the table diner's ready. "Now on today's murder case.The murderer known as the Strange Man has struck again and this time he has struck the Yellow Street.The FBI still has no clue about the murderer's intentions regarding his vicious actions,though some have being claimimng that the murderer was somehow supernatural",the reporter Gail McHilan in the news said and gave the mic to one of the witnesses at the nearby street. "Tell us ma'am,what makes you think that the murderer is somehow supernatural?" "Well I was coming back from work at night when I arrived in the nearby street where my house was and as I was about to turn I saw him the Strange Man with a black hat exiting a house across the road through the gate and he turned around and started to walk.I was terrified,praying for him not to turn around.He walked along the tower lights view and as soon as he entered another one that tower light went off then it was on again but the man was gone,like he disappeared like he went with the dark or something",the woman of early forties explained. "Well folks,you heard it yourselves and I don't know what to tell you either but let's hear what FBI Kleaver has to say",she said as she lent the mic to him. "Sir,can you speak to us concerning your situation on the Strange Man?" "We're still working on his hiding spot or secret hideout,but I assure you we'll get to the bottom of this.Some have been saying that the murderer is somehow supernatural or he has sufficient distinct abilities in his system.Let me inform you on this,he is just a person waiting to be sentenced to death.We're going to capture him and Justice will put him in his place",the FBI said. "Well you heard the FBI,they are going to put an end to this vicious mysterious murderer but in the mean time,stay at home,lock your doors and windows and come back early from school alright?Now concerning today's murder,available witnesses have been proclaiming that it happened this afternoon,exactly in this street Yellow St!!The witnesses has it a family of five was brutally murdered by the same axe he uses to butcher people.They were all struck on their necks by that axe and their parents's necks were viciously struck that they were beheaded in the process",Gail McHilan explained as Tiffany covered her mouth. "And there was a message left by the Strange Man which he wrote on a paper with blood it turns out.....what?Oh yes sure absolutely.....sorry for that folks I have to first put on these gloves first before touching that paper.If my finger prints get there,I might be charged of being the Strange Man am I right haha....okay I'm going to read the message.....'Thanks to you 'T' things are about to get bloody',we actually don't know if its really a T or a cross but there you have it",she said.Tiffany's hearbeat pounded harder with her eyes wide. "This is Gail McHilan reporting live at Yellow Street" "Mmm well that's mysterious...but who is T anyways?Or the meaning of the cross or something?",her mom asked while eating.Tiffany didn't answer,her breath got heavier. "Its.....Me"
