Noah
It's been two weeks since Stefan got weird. But now everything is fine. More than fine, for him everything is child's play now. Jennifer did not come from that day to pick up Miss Emma. I still can't believe she could hear us from the car.
My confusion about him went away as time passed. He started to feel like someone else. He became a little cold, not joking around or always something's on his mind. While He was still fine, 'Everything was great' that's what I decided to believe.
We were having our P.E. now. Everyone had to run a race with six people each time. I went and got 2nd place in my attempt.
"You went all out, Noe."
"I wanted to be first this time around."
"You will get it."
"What's your plan, steph?"
"I will be 4th."
"Why go that low?"
"Just feel like it's......better like that."
[Well, I am sure he can get 1st if he wanted.]
The race began with 6 people including Stefan, what I thought was 'isn't he looking way too feeble'.
[what the..... even when he plAnned to be 4th, even when he ran half-hearted...... why did he become 2nd?]
We sat next to each other again, waiting for our turn to run again.
"Hey.... steph, you looked like you weren't giving your all?"
"Cuz I wasn't!"
"But..... isn't time like this you should?"
".....Why?"
"Well, you can be popular with...... girl's."
"..ummmm...... not now."
"Why?"
"Just a hun-"
[ huh...he looks......pale!]
"What is it? Do you feel pain somewhere? Should I take you to the infirmary?"
"Something is wrong here."
"What?"
[What did he mean?]
He suddenly stood up, to his gesture I tried to stand up as well, but he put his hand on my shoulder, pushing me not to not stand up. Before I could say something I heard screams from back.
"AAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaa....."
[WHAT THE?]
I turned back to see a humanoid figure without eyes or a nose, chewing on a few girls who've been ripped open. That was the most horrifying thing I saw in my whole life. That thing had been on its four with a tale which swinged and sent some flying. It was huge as a pick-up truck.
[What is that........ man eating thing? Wait what ........... where did so many of them come from?]
Before I could understand what was going on, we were already surrounded by a lot of these. Screams were all I could hear from every direction. Those things just tore and ate us.
"AAa"
I let out steam when Stefan pushed me back and I went four steps back flying. I got up to see that man-eater got close enough to eat stefan.
"STEFA-"
*thump*
[Huh... when did he get there.....how did he kick that to the ground.....]
"......did I... do this?"
After pushing me back, stefan with *flash* speed went from the left side to the right side of that man-eater's head and kicked it down to ground. While it didn't die, it did some serious damage.
[...am I seeing.... or is there blue smoke around him?]
"....yeah, you did tha-"
[....Where........ did he go.....]
*bam*
Stefan after kicking that thing down to ground looked past me then disappeared just to appear behind me and kicked another one of those. Before I could catch up with him he had already got the other one, after all we were surrounded by those.
The school ground was a mess now, it has not even been 30 sec from those things appeared, but most of the kids were dead already and the rest were.
""RUN FOR THE BUILDING!!!""
Stefan screamed pretty loud enough to be heard by everyone on the campus. To his word, everyone acknowledged it and started running over to the building. There were students who were not able to acknowledge it because they were dead or they were in a state of crawling but others ran as fast as they could to the building, including me.
[Let's get to the building-]
""LAY DOWN, NOAH!!""
[Did he say...... to get on ground?]
And just as I laid myself to ground, he appeared with *flash* speed, and kicked one of those who aimed at me from above. When he kicked the first one it looked like it only took some serious damage but the one who got kicked this time, his head was blown off while green liquid started to flow out from that thing's body.
[ That's it.......... blood? The blue smoke around Stefan is......... more visible now.]
" I did not see....... that coming from above?"
"Do you........ trust me?"
[ do I?......... No, I don't trust him. Not this Stefan who just........... feels a little distanced.]
"Yes Woahhh...."
After asking me a question that I couldn't answer honestly, Stefan lifted me and jumped back and took me to the back of a tree.
"Noe, can you stay here without making any sounds?"
"...I....I will...."
Stefan disappeared and appeared between the herd of those things.
"CONSIDER IT DONE!!!"
[ What is he.....screaming... but how can... ?]
*sigh*
A breath of relief came out of me. A boy, maybe he saw Stefan kicking those, he tried to fight against those and got eaten. My thoughts were now all about what those man-eater things were. I thought of all those 'scientists failed experiments that went out and destroyed the world' we see in movies or novels.
But then the thought of my best friend being a scientific experiment, I stopped all that nonsense.
[Yep....... there is no way.... the government did this....]
Jennifer
I was at home, working out on the treadmill. I didn't have any shoots today. That day when steph caught me, now all I can think is, he is like me. I didn't go to pick up Aunt Emma anymore, I will but not now. Moreover I kept in check with Ann that no one was troubling her.
Thankfully nothing strange happened over the past 2 weeks with her. I was just about to finish my workout, but I got distracted suddenly.
{RUN FOR THE BUILDING}
[Huh...it's his voice......is he somewhere near..]
I focused on the 'want to hear' feeling of mine and started to hear.
{Boom}
"...huh"
{Aaaa...}
"What are thes-"
I started to hear screams of men, women, kids and elders. Everyone screamed in pain, the words I could pick up were 'devil', 'I don't wAnna die', 'monster'' and.
{Help me}
*thud*
"Huh"
[Did I just.... jump from the sixth floor?]
*Bam*
I was standing on the road now. After hearing those screams before I thought my body just moved. I jumped from my balcony and now was on the road, without breaking a single bone on my own. Wind swirled around me and faded away. God-know-what had been smashed by me and green fluid splashed from it.
I looked around to see dead bodies around and solid blood all over. I knew I was stronger than any human around.
[if only I didn't....... stopped hearing....... I could have come to help before. Less people would have to die. I........ it's my fault!]
My guilt strikes me hard. I couldn't stop thinking 'it's my fault', but I ran all around punching those disgusting things. My thoughts were way too fast but what surprised me most was my body moving and punching those things faster than anything else.
*bang*
"Ehhhh... disgusting. Are you okay?"
"aaah..... yeah.....thank yo-"
[ you could have.... at least completed the sentence before running away. Well......]
"When did I got..... this far from hom-"
{LAY DOWN, NOAH}
[Did Noe got attac-]
Reality struck me suddenly, I got a little far from where I was but I didn't notice that. I was trying to protect the one in front of me but 'what about Ann' that feeling overwhelmed me.
[......I can't move........ am I too afriad that she might....... already. I can't agree with that.......I already lost ......I can't lose her........ I can get there...... and save her...... if I run straight there....... don't stop anywhere......... but I can't just ignore the one I can help..... wha-]
Suddenly an idea came to me. How absurd it was I knew but If it had the slightest chance, then it might be. I started to yell with everything I got.
""STEPHHFAAAANNN
YESSSSS I CAN HEAR YOUUU
YOU WERE RIGHTTTT
SHE IS MY ANUTTT
PLEASEEEE
SAVE HERRRRRR""
*pant**pant*pant*pant*
[Did.....my voice didn't reach h-]
{CONSIDER IT DONE!!!}
Boys like steph who could 'just figure things out' were the most annoying to deal with but I instinctively knew. If he said then, it's done.
*smile*
