The Eye

Stage 3

-Zero-

There's nobody here. Th quiet is making my ears hurt. I looked around. I couldn't see anyone in sight.

“Hello?”

Nothing. Not a single answer.

But I am not alone.

“Who's there?”

The static sounds made my ears hurt. I rubbed my right ear as I winced. My eyes began to water. When I looked around, my vision became blurry. I felt like I was trapped in a narrow tunnel. Footsteps ran behind me. I turned and no one was there.

“Hello?”

I think there's someone here. The air around me vibrates as I try to move. My ribs feel like they are crushing into my sides. I can barely breathe.

“Kizna?”

My body started shivering. When did it get so cold? The bright lights hurt my eyes and head. There was that sound again. I sank to my knees, covering my ears. I gasped as I silently screamed.

That's when I saw them.

Stage 4

Their feet didn't touch the ground. When did that… that…? The hair moved and floated around like it was under water. The air around it seemed to just up and down. The light reflecting off the pale skin made my eyes sting. Every fiber in my being told me to run. But I couldn't move. My eyes widened. I could hear my heart pounding up to my ear drums. Was that creature moving around?

“Who… What are you?” No sound came out. I felt like I was trapped in a vacuum. Where was everybody? Kizna? Hijikata-sensei? Anyone? Someone?

But then, it turned its head. My stomach dropped. Its movements didn't look natural. At first, it looked like an animated corpse struggling to move for the first time. When did it get closer? It couldn't have been a few seconds. They didn't even make a sound. I couldn't will my body to move. It felt like something crushing against my chest.

The creature was halfway towards me. By now, I got a better look at this creature. At first, I thought I was staring at a girl my age.

“Hello? Who are you?”

No answer. Despite the hair flying around in the air, the bangs covered her face. The shine off of her skin really made my eyes burn. It didn't help that she didn't make a sound. She would get closer before I had a chance to figure out what to do. Then she was inches from my face.

Those eyes. I couldn't see anything in them. The deep I looked, the more I felt crushed from the inside. By the time I looked up again, her face was inches away from mine. When I looked into her black eyes, I could held violent screaming.

I thought I was going to burst.

-Outside-

Zero had to be rushed to the infirmary. He wasn't the only student either. Kizna could only wait outside.
