Unnatural

Ch. 3. The strange figure

Lottie grabbed the hand and pulled it off of her, whilst still screaming. You'd think with all the commotion the students and teachers would come running, but no one did.

"Lottie shut up!" She turns towards the voice and sees Bee looking confused, "Who were you talking to?" Lottie looks towards where the figure was just standing "I guess... No one?" She whispers, The friends look at each other equally confused for a few minutes before Bee pipes up with "Look, if you did see someone there it was probably a pedo. So we should probably go tell the teachers, you go to class and I will tell them."

Lottie shakes her head "I saw them so I should tell the teachers." Bee shrugs her shoulders, grabs her hand, and marches back inside the school.

Once they get inside Bee lets go off Lottie's hand and looks at her "You are not to go back outside until the end of the day. If that person was, in fact, a pedo or a kidnapper they saw your face" Bee says sternly, Lottie starts feeling nervous and nods her head. She then turns to go tell a teacher when the bell rings. Both the girls rush off to their next class deciding to tell someone about the potential kidnapper after class. 

Their middle class finished without a hitch, it was the only class the girls had together for the day. it was Lottie's favourite class Art. The teacher always compliments her work. Bee doesn't like art as much, her work usually looks like a 5-year-old made it. She doesn't mind when the teacher doesn't compliment her work, she knows she isn't an artist. But Bee can write amazing stories, ones that could paint such a picture you felt you were in the story. Lottie always joked with Bee that she would illustrate any story she wrote.

When the bell rang for Lottie was just finishing her painting of a forest. It had wonderful and vibrate colours above the trees and dark and moody colours below the leaves. Bee seeing her still engrossed in her art told her she would go inform the teachers about the strange person from recess, Lottie just nodded her head and continued on with her painting.

15 minutes passed before Lottie had added the finishing touches to her forest. She looked around and didn't see Bee, so she went out looking for her. 

After searching nearly the whole school she can't find Bee anywhere, she starts to panic. "Oh no, what if she has been kidnapped!" Lottie says to herself before picking up her pace and running outside. She looks everywhere around the school, before cautiously checking their Oaktree. As she gets closer she sees the figure just standing there.

Fear threatens to engulf Lottie, she slowly walks towards the figure and yells "Who are you and where is Bee!?" 

As she gets closer she notices that the figure has bright yellow eyes and it almost looked as though she had flowers growing out of her head. "W-who are you?" Lottie repeats much quieter "Where is... Bee!"

The figure moves closer to her with a strange look on her face, they open their mouth and an eerily sweet tune comes out of her mouth. Then Lottie hears a voice in her head "Bee? I don't see any." She scrunched up her face in confusion "Wh-who said that?"

The same thing happens, the figure opens their mouth and the tune sounds again before Lottie hears "I am speaking to you." Lottie looks towards t figure full of terror and goes to scream "Lottie what are you doing out here, the bell went... oh..." Bee appears next to Lottie and notices the strange figure.

Both girls look at each other and then back at the figure. Bee pulls Lottie behind her "Who are you?" The figure smiles before opening her mouth to speak I guess, "I am Nasira the Agile, of Ruhanni forest" Bee's eyebrows scrunch together and Lottie says from behind her questioningly "What the hell is a Ruhanni forest and what has that got to do with us?"

Nasira nods her head like she was thinking, she then lets out a much longer tune. which resounds in both the girl's head, "I have orders to take you, Lottie, back to Ruhanni forest." The friends look at each other before nodding and running in the direction of the school. 

Before they can even get halfway, Nasira appears before them. With her strange way of speaking she says "Why are you running away?" The girls give each other another look before Lottie runs in a random direction and Bee runs towards Nasira.

Bee lunges forward to grab onto Nasira, but as she goes to grab her she just touches thin air and falls to the ground. Lottie finds her way to the girl's bathrooms and locks herself in a stall. Nasira appears outside the door and says "Lottie, you are to come with me to Ruhanni." Lottie screams "Go away, go away, go away" and covers her ears. 

Bee years Lottie's screams and runs towards her. Once she gets there, she sees the bathroom empty and panics.
