Chapter 3: At School Really

It was a few days later when Daniel saw more things from the corner of her eye. She was leaned over her desk quietly working seeing a figure walk by her so she lifts her head, but no one was there. She hummed to herself and worked more being quiet. After a bit though she felt like someone was watching her and looked around the room, no one had their eyes on her though. She kept working after still not liking the eerie feeling she had. Huffing softly she went to her next class looking around a bit seeing things from the corner of her eye again.

"Okay this is getting annoying why do I keep seeing things out of the corner of my eye along with the feeling of someone watching me" She says to herself being annoyed. Huffing quietly she looked around peeking out the window when the schools lights go out people screaming.

"Ugh shut up! It's just a power out!" She yelled in the hall annoyed more now. Turning around fast she heard the sound of footsteps instantly smirking to herself knowing the teachers locked all the students in the classroom hearing there was someone in the school over the intercom. She knew she was the only one not in a class so this person must be the one that was talked about. Being intrigued Daniel walked down the hall looking around humming to herself quietly hearing more footsteps. Walking towards the footsteps a teacher urged her to come into a classroom stopping when they saw the look she had on her face. Continuing forward she saw a white blur smiling more.

"Let's not play the game of catch the mouse with sight we know who won" She says giggling when the footsteps froze. Daniel turned seeing Jeff and smiled big when he had a strange look.

"You're Jeffery Woods I looked in the year books in the library and found the newspaper clippings it's amazing that you used to go to this school was it satisfying to try to kill your brother hmm?" She asks with a smirk when Jeff growled at her.

"Awe don't like hearing the truth must've been awful to know your brother escaped the 'freedom' from the cruelty of this world you were trying to give him" She says making him growl more and lunge at her. Now despite being pretty fit and fast she wasn't expecting that and got pinned to a wall making her laugh though. Jeff was confused by this girl that was certain, but now he also hated her. Raising his knife he tried plunging it into her chest only for his arm to be grabbed since she fully expected that.

"Just because I'm a petty high school student doesn't mean I'll let you kill me" She says pushing him away. Jeff huffed growling at her making her giggle loudly. Even though she knew she would probably have trouble fighting Jeff she knew she would still have fun doing so since he was pretty interesting. Daniel hums looking to Jeff's knife and knew her disadvantage knowing he probably wouldn't put it down. She huffed knowing her place in this fight wouldn't be good which made her cross her arms. Jeff knew she realized this and went to attack her again. Daniel however ducked smirking and leg swiped him running down the hall happily.

"Just cause I know my place doesn't mean I'm gonna let you do that Jeffery" She says laughing when she heard his fast paced footsteps. Daniel knew the police were called so she decided to be the bait for this to keep him busy though. The teachers watched her run through the halls being chased by Jeff until the sounds of police sirens filled the area. Jeff stopped and cursed to himself Daniel giggling.

"What did you think the school would be stupid enough to not call the police I was just your bait to keep you occupied while they came" She says watching the police come in. Right before Jeff ran off she got a picture of him making him curse again. Jeff got away once the police got to the area seeing Daniel and went to her making sure she's okay.

"I'm fine I played bait so he would leave the others alone so appreciate the picture I got" She says showing them which they printed the photo in color before leaving. At the end of school everyone was shocked at how Daniel chose to be bait knowing full well she could have been easily killed if caught off guard.
