Chapitre IX: Protect Every Person You Can

Raven's Point of View :

"Remember my story that I didn't continue earlier?" Lannah said seriously.

"Uhm, where am I now? Ah! Yes, we made eye contact, his eyes are scary, a little red, especially when he smiles and laughs." It's good to see that she's not so scared anymore.

"I immediately ran downstairs, and luckily the second noise was made by Raven." So that's what happened. No wonder she was scared.

"I don't want to tell you, I don't want you to worry. But now that guy keeps on making trouble, I want to warn you that you might meet him." She smiled at us after.

"I wish you had said it earlier! You are terrible!" Mary grumbled.

"But that's not all." She stopped, so we all looked at her.

"Hmm, last week, I met him again." She sighed at the same time.

"It's a bit dark, and I was going to take a walk in the park first. I accidentally bumped into him, again." She took a breath.

"I tried to run away, but he grabbed me first. I didn't want to look at his face because it was horrible. I thought he was going to kill me, but he said those words 'Your safe with him.' " She held back her tears.

"I thought 'him' was Raven, since he was the only person I met after we met that man. TSS DON'T PUT DIFFERENT MEANING TO IT." Did we meet on Monday?

They have decided to go home. I remembered, I also took a walk in the park to relieve my stress. She bumped into me because she was running and crying.

She just told me that something bad happened, so it's not my problem anymore. Who's that guy?

It must have been late afternoon when I decided to walk outside again. My brain is messed up. Why are these things happening?

"Rave! Good morning!" Luke greeted me when I entered the classroom. I just smiled at him.

High school students will not be able to regain their full energy since that incident. Imagine 3 dead that night?

Many of us are afraid because we made contact with that guy, especially us. We don't know what he will do next.

"What's the plan? Hey! Do something, we're supposed to enjoy our high school life." Bri said while we were eating in the cafeteria.

"I don't know." I answered sluggishly.

"Cousin! You can do something, Luke and Spence. You're SC officers, go conduct some events." Mary suggested.

"It's not that easy." Luke said seriously.

"You should try at least." said Daph.

"When it's dismissal we'll try to ask for permission." said Spence.

I elbowed. "Are you thinking of an event? Lol."

"Being advanced is okay, right?" said Spence.

"Urghh headache." Luke.

"I'll do the thinking." If I volunteer, at least it will divert my mind, right?

I didn't listen to the afternoon classes, I just didn't make it that obvious. Hmm, dancing is also necessary at night, right? But it can be dangerous at night.

When it's morning, it's hot, but we're safe, right? A contest will do.

"We should have Mr. & Ms. ZYX, Middle School level, that way many students can forget at least a little bit." I opened to them after class.

"What? Isn't that going to be held on foundation day?" Alex.

"For foundation day, there's a king and queen, right? So it won't take long." My answer.

"Doesn't it seem like that will work? You should try to think of other events." Lannah countered, yeah she has a point, that's all that really came to my mind.

"I can't think anymore." My answer.

"Uhmm how about just playing some games?" said Mary.

"It's only July! Are you insane?" Daph.

"I already have one!" Spence.

"Shhh tell everything to the office, so they can see that we are really determined to have an event for our schoolmates, and maybe they will give us a much better idea." My answer.

We walked to the office. It was a bit dark because the dismissal was late, the breeze was cold.

"Guys!" We all turned to Alex when he called us.

"What?" Bri.

"Read this note." He pointed to a piece of paper nailed to a tree.

"Cancel what you are planning right now if you don't want worse things to happen.

- it's me."

"Damn." I'm cursed.

I grabbed Lannah's hand when a strong wind blew. Her hand was also shaking.

I also let go of it when she saw it. I was also surprised why I did that. I felt like I needed to protect her now. What is wrong with me? Urghh, I'm already infected by her secretive moves.

"Let's go home." Spence said after he tore up the paper. We ran to the parking lot and waited.

"I'm scared." Mary said.

It's already dark, the street lamps are already on, they say that our pick-ups will come a little later because of the traffic.

"Don't be afraid, as long as we are complete." Luke said.

"What's taking them so long?" Bri complained with a snort.

I looked around, hoping to see that person again.

I'm not wrong, he's looking at us not far away. I got up to go see him. How did he get onto the campus?

"Where are you going?" Spence asked. I didn't answer.

I ran in the direction of that man. They followed and he disappeared again when we arrived.

There was a letter on the tree. "Hi." I read, it was written with blood.

I went home. He even beat the stalker or paparazzi. He knows our every move. What kind of person is he?

It's August, a month has already passed. And it's foundation month, it's good to know that man has been out of sight for a while.

Move-on with life, and we managed to live well somehow.

I don't see him watching anymore. But he always leaves a letter.

"Be careful when it's a full moon. Protect every person you can. I'm still watching you." Written in blood as usual. And yeah, I saw that in my locker.

"Hey Rave! Seems like you're in deep thinking?" I just smiled at Spence.

"Next week is foundation week, right?" Mary asked. We are in the cafeteria now eating.

"Yeah, don't be so excited because last year was boring." I said.

"I bet it won't be this year." Lannah smiled.

"Yeah, I hope so." My answer. College is assigned for the upcoming event. Thank God we won't have any problems.

"I heard that there would be a masquerade ball. The high school and college have separate venues." Luke said seriously.

"It will be a bloody theme." I don't know but I felt something weird when Spence said that.

"We should be alert." Let me just say, I really feel different.

They understood what I meant so they just nodded.

It's foundation week. The great thing is we don't have too many classes. The eight of us are free roaming now. The whole university is very alive also.

It's great because they finished installing the booths and everything else on weekends. It seems like it's difficult though.

"Kyaaah, I'm excited for tomorrow." Mary stated.

"Why?" Bri asked.

"Are you nuts? Mr. and Ms. ZYX will be tomorrow." Mary explained. Because there is an event every night, for the whole week.

"Omo? Really? WAAAAAAH." Bri, tss still hasn't gotten over my impression of her being a flirt.

"What event will be for later?" Daph asked.

"Singing and dancing competition." I answered, I know the events.

"Let's watch!" Alex.

"You're only after women." Spence. We just laughed.

"We don't have class and we're not busy, so why not?" Luke.

"Number #3 is my idol! His voice is so charming! Marry meee!" Bri screamed like crazy.

"Go for number #6! Go angel!" Mary shouted.

"#1 is sexy! Fighting!" Alex is really a chick boy.

The singing competition is first. The dance competition that I'm looking forward to will be after this. I was a little bored, and I said goodbye to them and I'd go to the bathroom.

As I was going to the bathroom, it got darker and darker and fewer people. Seriously, where are the lights?

As soon as I entered, I felt nervous, at the same time a strong wind blew. Damn! I hate this!

"Looking for me?" I was frozen in place when someone spoke behind me.

"No." I turned to him, as obviously he was wearing a black jacket with a hood.

"Haha, why are you afraid of me? I'm the one who should be afraid of you." I stared at his eyes, those reddish eyes.

"Why?" I asked him.

"You'll know soon." He smiled at the same time, it was horrible.

"What are you planning to do? Why did you just show up again now?" I asked him. I was already sweating, as if something bad was going to happen.

"I know many questions are bothering you, all of your questions will be answered soon. For now, protect every person you can." He said, and in a blink of an eye, he disappeared from my sight and left the door open.

I have just realized now. Damn! My friends. I immediately ran towards them.

"Where's Lannah?" I asked when I arrived while catching my breath.

"She said she was going for a piss." Bri answered.

"And you didn't accompany her?!" I asked a little angrily.

"Why? What's going on?" Luke.

"Stay with the girls, and protect them." I ran immediately to the female bathroom. The room was at the other end, I don't know. But I hope that no miracle will happen.

I waited for a few minutes but she still didn't come out.

Alannah's Point of View :

I felt something weird. That's why I haven't come out of the stall yet. I was the only person here, so I felt even more scared.

I turned the door knob, and suddenly it got dark. The power supply went out again.

"AAAAAHHHH!" I screamed before someone covered my mouth.

"Shh I won't kill you for now." I'm in tears, it's that guy.

"Lannah, where are you?" Hearing Raven's voice revived me a bit.

I gathered all my strength and elbowed him in the stomach. I used that chance to run and scream.

"HELP ME!" I shouted, but he caught me right away.

"Trying to escape, aye? You want to die slowly?" I cried in fear.

"Ahh!" He let go of me and a man pulled me away.

"That hurts!" The man shouted.

"Can you run?" Raven asked me.

"Yes." I answered with tears in my eyes.

"Great! You know the area, right? Contact them. Ah damn!" I ran away right away.

I heard Raven's voice, he was writhing in pain. I'm so weak I can't help him, all I know is to cry and run.

I mustered up the courage to run back to Raven. Luckily, the moonlight helped a bit, because it was cloudy earlier so it was dark.

"I told you to run! Urgh hell!" He felt as if he was holding his side as he was bleeding.

"Goodbye for now." I looked at the man when he spoke, suddenly he disappeared and the electricity came back.

"I told you to stay away!" he said angrily.

"You have a wound." I cried in response.

"You really are a crybaby." And he forced to laugh at the same time.
