18

I woke up in the middle of the night. I think I slept so well that I stayed up until midnight.
“Hmm-mm” the teacher was hugging me, I just noticed it now.
“I’m hungry” I whispered then carefully removed the teacher’s arm that was wrapped around my waist. I slowly left the bed and slowly walked towards the door. I haven’t eaten yet because I fell asleep, as I remember the last meal I ate was lunch. Then I only ate a little because I was too hungry.
I am very thankful that the door was not locked so I was able to get out easily. It’s scary and creepy here, it’s so quiet. I’m not used to being so quiet, and it’s still so dark. I feel like someone is watching me at every turn.
“Hmm! Hmm!”
I looked behind me when I heard that. My fear increased even more, there was the voice I heard earlier. Should I find out where it will heal? But it’s late at night, maybe I’ll see something.
“Hmm! Mm! Mmmm!”
I heard footsteps so I took a step back until I heard the ‘hmm’ sound even louder. But it was page after page as I continued to retreat so I returned to the place where I heard it out loud. God! Maybe it’s not a ghost, right? I didn’t believe in ghosts but now, I think I do.
“Hmm! Hmm!”
I listened to that voice while continuing to search until my own feet brought me to the opposite side of the stairs. the voice I heard got even louder as I stepped down the stairs and stopped in the middle.
Something is really wrong here!
I heard that voice from where I was standing. I feel close to him, but where is he? Is he/she playing with me? It’s not fun anymore. I’m starting to get really scared.
“Is anyone in there?” question in the very quiet and dark house as if someone would answer me.
“Hmm! Hmm!”
His voice was so loud that it was accompanied by stomping that scared me. Where will it get better? I won’t be surprised if it’s a ghost because the house is so big and a Vampire lives there. But still, I want to know where that voice came from.
I was so annoyed that I hit the wall and it made a strange sound before I took a step. I need to eat first. I’m so hungry. I went to the kitchen and opened the fridge to look for something to eat. I really hope the teacher doesn’t wake up and find me. Maybe what happened in the past will happen again, maybe he will suddenly get thirsty and drink my blood.
“Why only dessert?” I whispered softly to myself so I just closed it. I just got a slice of bread and stuffed it with nutella, it’s fine instead of starving.
“What’s going on in this house? Why does it seem like there are so many secrets?” I asked while looking around the kitchen. until I decided to go up the stairs and then stop again in the middle. The voice I heard is gone but I know he is right here near me.
“Hello?” please! Answer!
*SILENCE*
I received no answer. Is he just playing with me? Was it a ghost? what kind of ghost is that? Who likes to play with? I think, that ghost just wanted to scare me and it pissed me off.
The second time, I got so bored that I took four steps and stopped again. Hey! I can’t believe this! my mind keeps telling me to find where that voice comes from but i don’t want to!
“I’ll go up!” I said angrily as I hit the wall which made a loud sound.
Why does the wall sound like that? The sound is normal now but earlier when I was down…
Why does the wall sound like that? the sound is normal now but earlier when I was down…
I hit the wall where I was standing again. It sounded normal so I took four steps down from where I was standing earlier when I came down. I hit the wall that made a strange sound, what’s wrong with it? why do they sound different? The sound of thick wood is here while the one a little higher up is already concrete. I knocked on it a few more times then I heard that voice again.
“Hmm! Hmm! Hmm! Hmm!”
I don’t know what I did next, I just saw myself sticking my ear to the wall and listening to it. There seems to be someone behind this wall! why!
“W-is there someone here?!” I shouted while banging on the wall.
“Hmm! Hmm! Hmm!”
there is a person behind the wall. But how can I open it? There must be an opening here, there must be! I kept looking for an opening until I kicked the wall but it still didn’t open. Is there no other way for me to enter?
I looked around until I saw a fire extinguisher. I immediately took it and beat it against the wall until it broke. It doesn’t matter if the teacher wakes up! I need to know who that voice is from!
“T-teacher?” I whispered softly when I saw who was behind the wall. That teacher is our adviser. But what is he doing here? Why is he tied to the chair?
“Teacher, what happened to you?” I asked trembling then ran to him to remove the cloth covering his mouth.
“S-si… Mr. Dane! L-get away s-from him! You d-get out of here!” he answered breathlessly. I know! I should get away from that Vampire, but he has me by the neck!
I removed the rope wrapped around the teacher’s body. What’s going on? Why is our Adviser also affected by this? What does it have to do with Mr. Dan? I have many questions but I prefer to help our adviser escape even though I don’t know how to do it.
“T-teacher, we’re going to run. Can you do it?” I asked while supporting him as we went. He fell because he had big wounds and cuts on his legs and arms, including the blood that was scattered on his neck. I’m sure it was done by Mr. Dan.
“O-yes…” he answered then we got out of the wall and started running. How did Mr. What is this thing? They are both teachers! And one more thing, our adviser is a woman! Maybe next time, I will see our Science teacher in the same situation or maybe me.
I bit my lip because of the last word in my mind. I do not want. I don’t want to be like our adviser, but he is just like me. There was nothing to do but follow the order of Mr. Dane, I’m like a P. A. and he is my boss.
“Summer.” I heard a call from behind us. I know from Mr. that voice is Dane’s. The teacher who was with me stopped and looked behind me so I did the same.
“You said our adviser is pregnant! You said she’ll be gone in two months! You’re a liar! You’re hurting the teacher!” I shouted then caught my breath. Didn’t he feel sorry? why is he this kind of person?
“Stay away from her, Summer. Or else…”
“Or else What?! Are you going to hurt me again?! Huh! Teacher?! Why don’t you just kill me instead?! That’s easier! So I don’t suffer anymore!” I shouted at him and was about to turn around to start running again but my companion didn’t move, he was just looking at Mr. Dan
“She is your S-student, Mr. Dane yet you hurt her. How could you. You even bring her here in your house? You’re really a monster! how could you do this to your student?!” the teacher yelled at Mr. Dane and I knew the person he was talking to was shocked by what he said.
“Shut up! And you, Summer! Try to escape with that old woman, I’ll kill you both” he said. even though I was shaking with fear I tried to be brave, I knew he couldn’t do that. He can’t kill us.
“I don’t want to! You’re just going to hurt me again and again!” I yelled at him. My heart beat faster when he took out a gun and pointed it at me. No! No! No! he can’t do this to me!
“Come here, Summer.” he ordered but I quickly shook my head wishing I hadn’t done it. My tears fell at the same time when he said that.
I love you, mom and brother.
*BANG! BANG!*
