Inside the silent class room where 35 tables and 35 chairs were assembled in proper columns and rows, all empty and dead like a dead classroom, four footsteps crossed from the side of the room straight at the back,
“JAN! JIN!” called Joe in rage running to the last seat where two boys were found standing still.
When Joe and Jet arrived to them, they got shocked to find their friends frozen on their spot. Their eyes lifeless like an undead.
Both caught their buddies from their shoulders and shook them calling “Wake up! Wake up you two! Wake up!! They wriggled them as hard as they could similar to a shaker however to no avail.
The two boys, Jin and Jan, didn’t reply them a bit instead stood like a statue. Perhaps, they were frozen to their spot by some kind of ability that could freeze others.
Joe stood away asking “what do we now, Jet? They aren’t moving or replying us! Are they dead or something?!”
“Can’t say anything, Joe” replied Jet scanning them. He stroke Jin’s face which was solid thick, then caught Jan’s hands which were hard in their moment, “No clue about their condition. They are solid but,” he placed his both palms on the two frozen bodies. Feeling their heart beats “they are still alive and breathing”.
He stood straight staring at them as he also was worried what was wrong with the two boys.
“So what next? We need to look for help?” asked his friend, “huh?” he turned puzzled.
Jet pulled both his sleeves, five inches back and tight his fist. This shocked Joe realizing what he was about to do next,
“NO! NO! NO! STOP IT!” he shouted approaching to stop him but he got late.
Stretching his fist 30 degree back, in full force, Jet gave a punch on Jin’s face throwing him away to the wall.
“AH! Jin!” exclaimed Joe running to him when suddenly another blow was heard stopping him on his steps
SLAM!
A large open palm slapped Jan’s face dropping him on the floor. “JET!” called Joe feeling annoyed by this. “Wasn’t there any other way to act against this?”
“This is the better one of all” replied Jet while rubbing his palm “See, it works”
“Huh” Joe turned confused looking away at his friends.
“OUCH! AYEE!” the two victims sat up, covering their cheeks heating up till their gum by the hard blow as well as their headache.
“Geez, what was that for?” cried Jin who was punched hard “You could at least find some other way to get us free, man” he stood with eyes of mist looking at Jet.
“That was a bad blow” commented Jan for the slap on his face “it really hurts” as he stood up stroking his steaming cheeks.
Both Jet and Joe watched their friends standing back to normal. This was kind of surprising to Joe, who was dumb by viewing this. He smiled and said,
“Well, it really did the job well buddy” he looked at Jet who only nodded lightly while covering the sleeves.
It was a cruel way of doing but, sometimes a normal act can beat up an unknown condition without any trouble and here was the result. Hitting both the boys to return them to their sense.
“So, how are you two feeling now?” asked Jet both the boys who stood up after getting hits.
“Fine I am” replied Jan
“I think my tooth is shaking” replied Jin with a finger into his mouth. He pulled it out with smile, “Yup! It is shaking.”
“What do you think must have happened that caused you two into to remain idols?” asked Joe “Do you two remember something?”
Both the boys were blank in their heads. They replied that they didn’t know what exactly or when did this happen or what caused them into it? All they could reply was the two were about to exit the building when suddenly, a white flash blinded them into darkness.
“A white flash?” questioned Joe adding from where did it come from?
“No idea……we weren’t paying attention to our surroundings” replied Jan in stress, “We just wanted to runaway that’s all.”
“And you found us here….” said the boy by his side, “Sorry for no information”
“There is an information you leaded us in.” said Jet looking around which puzzled the other three asking How come?
“The person who did this IS recently attending this room and is here at this moment between us.”
“WHAT?!” exclaimed the three boys as their hearts skipped a beat driving them almost too faint.
Upon hearing this Joe swallowed his throat and contested, “Do you mean he’s standing inside this dark room?”
“Clearly close to us” replied Jet gravely.
A pin drop silent conquered the square room, freezing the living beings inside it with the feeling of terror melting their heart into an unknown source of their body. They tried to remain calm when suddenly, a sound turned them solid ice. That sound echoed in the entire not just the room but the entire corridor,
CLAP!!!
CLAP!!!
CLAP!!!
