evil rises

School

Arriving at school, Zoey felt different than every other day. She couldn't put her finger on why. Was it because of the strange voice that shouted at her to run, or was it the man with no eyes that vanished? One of the two made her uneasy, and she didn't feel too safe at school. Surrounded by her peers and teachers, you would think she would feel safe, but she didn't. Deducuing her situation this morning, Zoey logically put in her head the uneasy feeling was because of the man. Zoey slowly walked through the halls eyes darting around, expecting the man to appear from the shadows and take her off to whatever he had planned if he found her. "Hey Zoey!" A voice ranged through her thoughts, bringing her back to reality. She looked around and saw a short red-headed girl waving at her, smiling the brightest smile ever. Zoey smiled back. "Hey Claire." The girls embraced each other as they walked up to each other. "Girl, you ok? You look like you seen a ghost?" Claire asked, staring at Zoey, who was looking down at the floor. "You wouldn't believe the morning I've had Claire." She said as she began to tell her the story of the voice and of the man. "Man, that's scary." Claire said, shivering. "Yea, now I'm really nervous." Zoey stated her nerves shot from the events of this morning. The bell rang, shooting her out of her thoughts. "Ok, time for algebra." Claire said, shaking her head and pulling Zoey by the arm. "Come on, let's go." She said to Zoey as both girls began to walk to class, Zoey, attempting to forget the events of this morning, walked in silence. As she arrived at the door of her algebra class, she heard it or more like she felt it. Dread took over her, and she began to freak out for no reason. Her eyes darted to the back of the room. THERE she saw him standing back there, his eyes hallowed like this morning staring at her. Her classmates walked past him, not fazed by this supposed man standing there. "You ok Z? Looks like you seen a ghost." Claire said, sitting down right next to him. As if he was commanded, he started walking towards her, stretching his hand out. Panic started to take over. "Mrs Simons, please take a seat so we can start class." Zoey's teacher said, eyes glaring at her with disgust. "Why are you running from me?" The man questioned, walking slowly towards her. Zoey started to take steps back away from the classroom. "I WILL NOT ASK AGAIN MRS SIMONS." Her teacher shouted, slamming a piece of chalk onto the table. "Come here." The man said his fingers, stretching out towards her eyes. Before he could touch her eye, she bolted out of the classroom, running into a full sprint. Behind her, she could hear her teacher shout at her to get back in class. Everything in her instincts told her to keep running. Tears flowed from her eyes as fear took over. She hid in the bathroom, praying to calm down. Her makeup smeared from crying. Then suddenly, she could hear the door to one of the stalls creek open. "Zoey." A whisper came from the stall. "Come to me, Zoey." They said in a grudging voice. She flew towards the door, smashing into Claire. Both girls fell to the ground, slamming their heads onto the floor. "Where's the fire girl? Slow down." Claire said, rubbing her head. "Zoey, come here." Zoey heard sending shivers up her spine. "Please, let's get outta her." Zoey pleaded, grabbing Claire's hand. "O.....Ok." Claire said, confused, but she followed anyway. They ran till Zoey couldn't hear the voice in the bathroom call her anymore. "Ok, we are ok." Zoey said as Claire yanked her hand back. "Are you ok?" Claire asked, worried about her friend."You're acting different than usual." Breathing heavily, she glared at Claire."You can't tell me you didn't see them." Zoey said, grabbing Claire's arms. "Z, no one was there." Claire said with a straight face telling Zoey she couldn't see either of them. Zoey's makeup began to smear as the tears flew down her face. "What's going on with me?" She asked, realizing nothing was actually there. Claire hugged her, pulling her close to her. "It's ok, sweetheart." She said as Zoey began to cry forceful tears.
