"AJAY!?" Ayami says right before passing out. Before she hits the floor, Shadow moves to catch her. She falls into his arms, and he lowers her to the floor. Her eyes don't stop moving underneath her eyelids. "Is she okay?" I ask. Shadow feels her pulse, then reaches his hand out, but not quite touching her. "She's stable, but we need to get her out of here. Time is going back to normal, and we need to go."
"Alright, let's get going. I'm going to call our mom and dad, and tell them to meet us at the hospital when we slow down." I pull out my phone as Shadow picks Ayami up. The three of us walk towards the door, and as i pass by the "Teacher" and his friend, i make sure that as soon as they're able to, they black out from the pain.
We leave the building, just as time is slowing down. I hear a howl of pain emanating from inside the school. 'Hmmm.... only one?' I think to myself. I shudder, a feeling of dread gnawing at my innards like a squirrel who got caught in a trap. "GET HER OUTTA HERE!!" I yell at Shadow, and he's gone in an instant. I pull out my twin daggers and turn around, catching the blade of the giant ax that was to be brought down onto my head. I push back against the Ax to try to repel it out of immediate danger. I manage to roll away when a hammer is brought down, aiming again for my head.
"Really? An ax and sledge? Could you get anymore cliché villain?" I say, my emerald green mantis mask sliding onto my face, and my knives extending into curved blades, about three feet long, chrome green. " And could you stop aiming for the head??"
I bring my sword in an upward slash, splitting him in half. As the two pieces fell, spiders and centipedes crawled out of his veins. A vile smell reached my nose, making me gag and almost vomit.
"You like the smell?" the ogre-man says sarcastically, as the spiders use their webs to stitch him back together. "It's emanating from my core. If you were any closer, you might've died." He says, reaching his arm into his stomach, and pulls out a small orb, about the size of my head, which is like a golf ball in his hands. I launch myself at the man, daggers ready to pierce the orb. Only, as i grew near, the stench became so rotten, i actually threw up. My mask retreated back as i held my stomach and spewed everywhere. The odor permeating the air was suffocating. i tried to get a deep breath, but instead, my stomach twisted and i retch everywhere. “Huh…” I think to myself. “I don’t remember eating that…” The man puts the orb back into himself and grabbed my throat, lifting me into the air.
"After i kill you, i'm going to kill the other boy, slowly, painfully. I cant kill the girl, so i need to savor killing him." The man crushing my windpipe says, squeezing harder and harder. Then, with a *pop*, the world went dark.
