My Soul to Take

Chapter 6


My heels started to ache. I felt hot and my mouth is dry. We've run for 10 minutes already. "A-Alfred.. Wait.." I stopped to take my breath. "Mattie, we have no time for breaks! That thing could come after us any second!" I can tell Alfred is really panicking.

We both heard movement at the end of the hallway. We both looked at each other and ran. We paced faster this time. "Mattie we need to get out of here!" Alfred said between breaths. "There's an exit door to the left, we should head over there!" I said. We turned left and found the exit doors. "Yes!" We we in relief that we found the exit. We ran to it and pushed it. But the door wouldn't open.

"W-what is this!?" We tried opening with all we got. But it wouldn't budge. "Dammit! Its locked!" Alfred hit the door. "Alfred stop! Hitting the door won't solve anything!"
"There's gotta be another exit! C'mon!" We ran to find another door. It's locked. Another door. Locked.

"It's no use! All the doors are locked!" Alfred rubbed his forehead. "And it's like, fuckin' hot in here!" I couldn't think. I was scared. It's here. In Middleton Lincoln High! I took out my cell phone. "Great idea Mattie! Call the police!" I dialed in 911.

"Hello what is your emergency? "Yes! W-we're trapped at our school and something is trying to kill us and-" I looked at my phone. 'Battery dead.'

"What?! No! Not now! This can't be happening!" Alfred looked at me worriedly and rubbed my back."It's ok Matthew." I had to think. Fast.
"Alfred, we need to hide." Alfred looked at me with wide eyes. "Are you crazy?!" I looked away. "It's our only chance of survival. Besides, this school is like a castle, we could hide in any room!"

We heard noises. But this time it got louder. Alfred looked horrified. But agreed. "Fine. Let's go hide." We ran down the halls looking for the right place.
"In here!" We went to the boys locker room, which reeked of sweat and dirty gym socks. "Yuck! It's stinks here!" I said covering my nose. We stood in the locker room. Staying quiet.

"You think he's gonna find us in here." Alfred asked. 'Alfred doesn't know.' I thought. I didn't tell him anything. It's better if he doesn't. After 5 minutes of not getting caught, we heard footsteps outside.
"Shit! Mattie he's here!" Alfred hugged me tightly. Without thinking I hid inside the lockers. "Mattie let me in with you!"
"No you won't fit!" I said.
"Are you implying that I'm fat?!" He sounded offended.
"No idiot! Just hide in a locker!" Alfred hid inside the locker across from me. We heard the door oped.

'Crap' I thought. What am I gonna do!? I don't have a weapon with me! I moved around a little and felt something metallic hitting against my leg. It's a baseball bat. 'Perfect' I firmly gripped the bat tightly, ready to hit. My breathing was steady. The steps were getting closer. I could see Alfred's eyes shining, showing fear.
'It's ok Alfred. I got this.'
I quickly got out if the locker and ready to hit the thing.

"Ey! Ey! Ey! What are you doing here! Somebody said with a heavy Russian accent. It was the janitor. Alfred came out looking relieved. "Oh god dude you're here! I'm so happy your here! There's something out there trying to kill us-" Alfred was cut off with the babbling if the janitor, who said something in Russian.

"Uh dude we don't speak Arabic" Alfred raised his hands as a defense.
"Argh! Just get out if here! You are not to be here! It's late! Get out! Get out!" The janitor pushed us out of the locker room and close the door.

"Hey no! Let us in! There something out here! We nee-" we heard the janitor screamed inside the locker room. His face was smashed against the window, blood trickling down his face. Blood splattered everywhere.

Alfred Stood in fear. "Alfred we need to go! C'mon!" I grabbed Him by the arm and ran. Alfred had tears running down his face. That thing was in there the whole time!

'What the hell am I gonna do?' I remember having the baseball bat with me. We both hid inside the wood shop room. Alfred was pacing back and forth. "What are we gonna do Mattie? The janitor is dead! Dead!" His eyes are puffy. I looked down at the baseball bat, getting an idea.

"... I could go and face it."

Alfred looked at me like I had a third eye. "Are you out of your mind!?" He shouted. I sighed. "We can't keep running! We can't wait either! No one is gonna help us!" Alfred gripped my shoulders firmly. "I'm not letting you go out there. I'm not gonna lose you." He hugged me tightly. "But we need to get out of here." Alfred stood silent.

"...I'm coming with you then."

My eyes widen. 'Is this idiot serious!'
"Alfred what are you talking about?!" Alfred looked at me sympathetically. "We're brothers. And brothers are supposed to stay by their side no matter what." Alfred said as he took a deep breath.

"Mattie, when I arrived at the orphanage with our parents, I wasn't to pleased to have a brother. And when my parents chose you, I couldn't help but feel a little jealous. You were perfect. You were the child my parents dreamed of. And there was me. I wasn't a great student. I couldn't do anything. That's why I wasn't so fond with you. But I never disliked you. I never hated you. I finally got to know you. And that's when I realized, I didn't see you as my 'stepbrother.' I saw you as my 'real' brother. And I promised myself, I would be by your side and protect you."

I didn't notice the tears running down my face. I hugged my brother. This could be our last hug. This could be our last time together. "Alright Alfred. Let's go. Grab something sharp." I said. Alfred looked around. "Found one!" He held up a pick axe. "Nice choice of weapon." I said. He smirked.

We walked down the hallway silently. It was very eerie. The only sound we hear is Alfred's stomach. "Matthew I'm hungry."
"Alfred this is no time to snack." I quietly whispered.

We reached the end of the hall. Nothing was here. "Do you think he went away?" Alfred asked, gripping the axe tightly. "Nah. It's hiding." "Why do you use 'it's' instead of 'he.'" He asked. I lied. "It could be a girl for all we know." I said. "Could be Ivan's sister." We both chuckled.

We continued to walked down the hallway. I bend down a little to check the floor for any strange markings. I felt something trickled down my neck. "Alfred please stop breathing down my neck." I said. Alfred didn't say anything. "Alfred stop it's ann-" I turned around and stared straight into the monsters eyes.

"N-no..." I couldn't move. 'Why couldn't I move!'i snapped out of it and hit it with the baseball bat, causing it to stumble back a little.
"Haha you like that?! I kept hitting it. It would've been better with a hockey stick. The creäture stopped moving. But decayed into the janitors body. "W-what the hell.." Something grabbed me from behind and threw me against the locker. My whole body ached. "Ow..." The creäture got closer. Something looked different about it.

'It has eyes now?!'

The creäture stared at me with hollow dark eyes. It's skin was pale wrinkly and blood covered. It smelled like human flesh. It's finger creased my face. "Please.. Don't hurt me." I whimpered. My heart was beating rapidly in my chest from the scare just seconds ago and how quickly it all had escalated. I nervously dared to look the creäture in the eyes. It was pressing its nails against my cheek, causing it to leave a small trickle of blood. It opened its mouth and let out a ear-splitting screech. It's saliva splattered in my face. "You...you need a fucking breath mint!" I said grabbing the bat, hitting it. The bat made a 'cling' noise.

The creature's long tongue reached for me and tightens its grip around my body. I felt my body losing conscious. "No...I can't.. Lose..." Just as I was about to give up, I heard another voice.

"Typical monster. Always getting what it wants." It was Arthur. He was wearing a black cloak and his eyes shined incredibly beautiful in the moonlight. "A-Arthur...stop... Leave.. Before it.. Kills you..." I tried warning him. "No need to warn me lad. I got what I need right here." Arthur took out two piece of papers from his black cloak and set them down on the ground. I heard him mumbled something under his breath.

"In the name of gods..." He took out a blade and cut his thumb, blood tricked down onto the paper, ceasing into ashes. He grabbed the ashes and cupped them into his hands. "You've been a very, very bad creature." Arthur said. The creature dropped me, I coughed and held my body. "Come here, ugly." The creature ran towards Arthur, he threw the ashes at the creature. "Be gone! Be gone demon!" The creature screeched loudly and ran out if the school. "Dammit! Matthew get up! Let's go! We have to follow it!" He ran after the creature with incredible speed. "W-wait..." I regained my balance and ran to find Arthur. We were in the middle of the forest. "Arthur!" I yelled. "Matthew! Stay where you are!" He grabbed my arm and I stood next to him, slightly limping. "Stay quiet." He said. I saw Alfred standing 20 feet away from us.

"Alfred!" I wanted to run to him. To save him. To grab him. "Matthew wait." Arthur said. I looked at him. "Arthur! That's Alfred for god sakes! He could be injured!" I said. Arthur watches Alfred with his eyes. "Leave his soul demon. You came for Matthew. Not him."

Alfred's body cracked. Arthur continued to speak. "Leave. His. Body. Immediately." Alfred's body then ripped opened, revealing the creäture. It now had slender vectors behind his back. "Dammit..." Arthur growled. The creäture stood there, ready for anything. Then it sprinted toward me.

"Matthew move!" He pushed me and the creäture hit Arthur, who lies on the ground unconscious.

"Arthur!" I screamed. The creature then turned to me. Cracking his body. "Dammit.." I got up and grabbed the baseball bat that I still had. "Come and get me."

The creature sprinted quickly and I didn't move. All of the sudden my necklace glowed bright blue. "What is this..?" I touched it. I felt electric. My whole body was in shock. The creature backed away. But it didn't want to stop. So it reached for my necklace and threw it into the dirt, losing it's glow. It's hand was burning. I didn't know what to do know. Arthur is hurt and can't get up. My necklace is useless now. Alfred is probably dead. My eyes watered. The creatures mumbled something.

'...I.. Told...you..' It's voice sounded raspy and dry.

"We... Meet... Again..." I give up.
"What do to want from me?.." I said.

It turned his head like a robot.
"Your...soul..."

I looked up at it. Now it's to close to my face. "...take it" I said. "M-Matthew...stop.." I heard Arthur's voice regaining. "If.. You give him your soul.. You'll die... And he wins.."

I ignored Arthur. " just take it." I closed my eyes. But nothing came. I opened them and saw that the hell-hound was behind the creature. The red eyes beast bit the creature by its neck. The creature screeched and threw the hell-hound onto the ground, scratching it with its razor nails. The hellhound whimpered like a dog. "No! Stop! Don't hurt it!" The creatures looked at me. The hell-hound then but the creatures leg. As it stumbled down to the ground, Arthur, who successfully healed, threw the ashes onto the creature and changed the words. 'Krypton cxes erst elü zon thus!" The creature screeched in agony and it's body ripped apart revealing Alfred's body. The creature then disappeared into the forest. I wanted to do after it but Arthur stopped me. "It's best if you go care for your brother." I nodded and ran to Alfred's lifelessly body. I held him in my arms. He was covered in goo substance and looked pale. "Alfred. It's time to wake up." I said. He shivered and opened his eyes slowly.
"Mattie... After this...can we eat..burgers?" He said grinning widely. I cried with joy. I help Alfred up and we both walked over to Arthur.

"Why didn't you tell me you could do magic?" Alfred asked. Arthur blushed. "I was afraid you wouldn't accept this part of me." I watched as Alfred smile sadly. I can tell he still not over Arthur. I looked around for the hellhound. It was laying on the ground, steadily breathing.

I ran to it. As I got closer, it opened its red crimson eyes. Looking at me, not bothering to move. "Hang in there." I said. I reached over to touch it. It started to breathe heavily. I looked over at Arthur. "He's in critical condition." I said.

I touched its dark fur. The blood was black. Suddenly, the fur was beginning to fall out, relieving human flesh, wait, scratch that, revealing pale, white skin. I was confused and so was Alfred and Arthur. I touched the fur and begin to pull on it. Took me 5 minutes to get all the fur off. I pushed myself into a standing position and looked down at the 'hellhound.' I turned around and walked away. Arthur and Alfred was in pure shock. What lies on the ground was someone I knew. My eyes watered. I want to scream. What lays on the ground,

Was, the one and only,

Gilbert Beilschmidt.
