My Unlucky Demon

Temperature

10 pm, the girl is sound asleep. I slept for seven hours at noon, now I’m having a hard time falling asleep. Thinking things through, we have yet to introduce ourselves to each other, haven’t we? A scene like a while ago, even though we are yet to know each other, just what am I supposed to think of? Tomorrow is the first day, that being said how does she plan to attend classes without any belongings? Forget it, I should focus on falling asleep, It’s her business. Getting sleep... sleep... Damn! I really want to sleep, but her image keeps flashing on my mind! Those thick thighs, her legs, her soft hair, her upper body! Must I really forget? It’s not that I am not used to women crawling over me. I am rich and handsome, nothing else to say here, is there? Yes, of course, I should just get her kicked like how I originally planned.

The girl’s POV

Light... It’s morning. Hmm... Where is he? I got up from the bed and looked around. It seems they have gone outside again. I took the clothes that I hanged near the window and changed. I folded the clothes that were given to me and placed them on his bed, then headed out. 

Light... It is too bright here. Oh! I found their scent, south to the east. When I went out yesterday, it suddenly started raining, it became hard to follow their scents, somehow I found myself lost in the woods. Just when I found a place to take cover, a masked guy came out and tried to drag me, I had no choice but to run. Today seems to be a nice day, I doubt it will rain.

I continued to follow their scents, on the way I saw a huge lot, there were slides, swings, fake horses that can only move in a circle, lots of children were there, I even saw a large boat, and the largest one was a wheel, it seems to be moving boxes that contained people. I wonder what that place is for. I keep hearing people screaming from there, a slaughterhouse?

That strange place aside, right now I am blocked by a gate, it seems that they only let cars pass through, I followed along when one of the cars came in, for whatever reason I am being chased by a man holding a stick, still based on the scent, one of them is already near so I kept moving forward, I found myself in a corridor of a building, there are a dozen of similar doors and rooms. This must be what they call classrooms. When I opened the door, the man who was chasing me, was right behind me. I searched the room for one of them and I saw one of my roommate’s companions, the blonde. He stood as soon as he saw me, he seemed to have engaged in an argument with the guy who was chasing me and the person standing in front of the class, I believe he is called the ’professor’. After a while, blonde dragged me to a chair beside his. I took a sit, but all of a sudden the supports of the chair from behind collapsed, as I fell I saw something really bright, then the next thing I saw was black.

Light, why is it always so bright at human buildings? From laying down, I sat upright. Something fell from my head, a blue bag that contains ice... What is this for? My eyes wandered around the room, then suddenly the door opened. Blonde... he seems to be saying something. I pointed a finger to my ear and shook my hand as to say that I don’t hear him. Then he suddenly seems in panic, he found pen and paper on the desk and wrote on it.

Did you lose your hearing because of the fall?

How funny humans are, do they lose hearing simply by falling? I shook my head as an answer.

I see. Are you alright?

The medical staff said you have a high fever.

Hmm, I fell and lost consciousness because of the light, even now I feel like succumbing due to it, but a fever? Isn’t that a humanly sickness? Blonde placed his hands on my forehead, then his eyes widened. He made me lay down again, and placed the bag of ice back on my forehead. He pulled out a white stick from one of the drawers and sticked it on my armpit. What is he doing? The white stick started to make a sound after a few seconds so I sat upright again. Blonde took it and looked at the number in it. He wrote something on the paper again.

Lay down. You’re not fine at all, look at your temperature.

He showed me the numbers on the white stick ‘40.0C’. I see. This white stick measures temperature...

I have no choice.

Thump!

Michael’s POV

Gab wasn’t with us at break time, we checked on his previous class and his professor told us he’s at the clinic. Just what in the world happened to that guy? 

We have reached the clinic, surprisingly my roommate is also here in her mourning clothes, and Gab is laying at the bed. We checked on him and saw the thermometer on his hands. 40 degrees!? This guy was even dancing on our way here this morning, how could it be that he can’t even open his mouth right now? I looked at my roommate, there was pen and paper beside her, I took it and wrote, “Where is the staff?”

No idea.

This is ridiculous, Gabriel is in this state and the medical staff is not even here? “What happened, why did he suddenly get sick” I wrote.

She just shook her head.

“Raphael, take care of him. I’ll go find the medical staff.” I went out and searched right away, it didn’t take long before I found a small woman in a coat on my way to the storage room. Nurse Alice, her name tag says. 

“What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?” she asked.

“My friend is having a 40 degree fever, miss.” I said then we went back to the clinic.

After we went back she administered proper medicine to him, he appears to have fallen asleep now. I am still confused though. What could have happened that made him fall this sick in such a short time?
