SuperNatural Paradox
Volume 6 Chapter 4: The Undead Walk
"Where's Sophia and Koto?" Shin asked surina as they entered the room.
"How would I know? I was with you the whole time."
"Something doesn't feel right." Shin sat in his desk and Surina sat in the one in front of his. "First it was Koto last night and now it's Sophia this morning, what's going on?" he mumbled. "I hope the ghouls didn't get to them."
"Don't worry Shin; I'm sure nothing seriously bad happened to them. If that were the case we would already know by now if they were missing by their family members."
"Yea, I guess you're right."
"Here you are." Sherriff Gordan led Sophia into the same room as Koto. Koto sat up from his bed and stared at her. "Just make yourself comfortable and we'll come back later to talk to you all separately." He then left the room.
"How long have you um… been in here?" Sophia asked as she walked over to him.
"I've been here since last night. On my way back to the school they picked me up. Sorry I wasn't able to get there in time."
Sophia sat next to him and said, "Don't worry; we ended up um… leaving because you never showed up. At least I um… did. I don't know what Shin and um… Surina did."
"Sophia," he whispered. "You must not tell them anything about what we have witnessed. "I don't know what it is, but I have the feeling if we tell them it will only bring bad news for us and everyone else in the city."
"Got it, my um… lips are sealed."
"What is it that you want?" Miss Tohsaka asked the police officer at the doorway.
"I'm here for Shin Rento and Surina Abigata." He answered. The class became filled with overwhelming whispers. "We need to take them into questioning."
"Questioning? For what?"
"Mam, you don't need to know. It's classified."
"Classified? I have every right to know. These two kids are my students, I have a responsibility to watch over them."
"Shin," whispered Surina. "This looks trouble. I suggest we don't get involved with the police. That's the last thing we want in this town full of monsters. If they get word that us humans know of their existence then they all will start to attack at once until no one is left in town." Shin nodded in agreement. "When I give the signal we should run for it."
"Shin and Surina," the man stood at their desk. "Now if you don't mind, would the two of you come with me?"
"Now Shin!" Surina yelled as she jumped up and kicked the man. He flew to the wall and almost fell unconscious. Shin stood up and started to run along with Surina.
"What's going on kids?" Miss Tohsaka stood there confused. "Why would you kick this man for no reason?"
"Did you see that kick she gave?" a kid whispered.
"Yea, I know. She's really strong. There's no way that she's a girl."
"What do the police officers want with Shin and Surina?"
"Surina? Shin? Why are you running?" she asked as they ran out of the door. "Hey you," she turned to the officer. "What's going on here? Why are they running from you?"
"I don't know mam." He pulled out his walky-talky. "I'm going to find out." He held the button and began speaking in it. "They're making a run for it; I repeat they're making a run for it. I need someone to stop them from leaving the building. I have lost sight of them." He stood up and started walking to the door.
"Hey, I'm talking to you. I demand answers right now."
"Not now lady, I'm busy." He pushed her aside.
"I don't think you're going anywhere." said Tomoya as he blocked the doorway.
"Who, who are you? Get out of the way, you're interfering with a police business."
"No, that's Tomoya." Mrs. Tohsaka dropped to the ground in fear. "He, he died about four months ago. There's no way that he can be alive now."
"You don't understand officer," Tomoya began. "If you lock Shin up right now, then we can't kill him. We can't have any of that."
"Kill?" the man pulled out his gun. "Now, turn around and put your hands up in the air for planning a murder." Tomoya walked closer to him while licking is lips. "I said get back, or else I'll shoot."
"Go ahead officer. Nothing will happen if you do." The man pulled the trigger in fear. The whole class room stood up and panicked. Tomoya stopped and looked at his shoulder to see the bullet wound. He then looked over at the officer and continued walking.
"I said stop!" he pulled the trigger a few more times, this time hitting more vital areas.
"I told you officer," he continued walking. "Nothing is going to happen." The bullets immediately popped out of his skin and the wounds started healing before their eyes. "I'm immortal." He then opened up his mouth wide.
"Wha-what are you?" he asked before hearing a loud screech.
The whole classroom was filled with the loud noise. Everyone covered their ears and began to drop to the floor, slowly one by one falling unconscious.
"Why," Tomoya began saying after giving out his screech, "I'm a ghoul of course." He licked his chops and walked over to him and started to eat him.
"What's going on?" Miss Tohsaka's eyes widened in fear as she lay on the floor unable to move or help him.
"Did you hear that?" Surina stopped. "It sounds like they're starting to attack."
"You mean the ghouls are in this very building?"
"Yes, it sounds like that noise came from our classroom."
"We need to go back to help them." Shin began running back.
"No stop! If we go back there, they will kill you. Plus we need to go find where Sophia and Koto are. My best bet is that those officers took the two of them someplace."
"Sophia." Shin stopped and turned around. "If that's true, then she must be scared."
"Stay right there you two!" Another police officer yelled from the direction they were heading. "We aren't going to hurt you. We just want the two of you to come with us."
Surina raced up to him and did a jump kick. The officer flew to the nearest locker and fell unconscious. "Now," she said. "Let us be off."
Within minutes the whole building began to fill with loud screeches and screams from all directions of the building. Kids began running through the halls while some on unconscious on the ground while others are being eaten by ghouls while awake or asleep.
"Is this happening all because of me?" Shin began to think as he ran through the halls.
"Come one Shin! This is the best time to escape while we blend in from all the people running in the building from the ghouls.
"What is that noise outside?" Sherriff Gordan asked.
"I don't know," one of his men answered. "It just started happening." They both walked over and opened the door to find people screaming and running around and some getting eaten alive.
"What the hell is going on?" Gordan freaked.
"Don't worry Mrs. Rento," Madam said as they walked down the street. "In my fortune telling, it told me that this part of town wasn't going to be hit."
"I'm more worried about all those screams and screeches going on further back in town." Mrs. Rento looked off to see smoke lifting up in the air.
"So it seems that it has started. The ghouls have finally started their final attack. After today, the town will be completely different, unless Shin changes it otherwise." She watched the smoke lift up into the clouds. "The Undead Walk; one of the four visions I gave Shin to help guide him to what's to come. I'm afraid his journey, as well as his friends, is only just beginning after today."
"Oh, I hope they all will be alright." Mrs. Rento grew nervous.
"Stop it right there!" a few officers blocked the exit of the school building. They held up their guns to make sure they wouldn't escape.
"Shit! What do we do now?" Surina panicked.
"I think maybe we should just go with them and escape from there. At least we will be with Koto and Sophia, that is if they actually did take them." Shin suggested.
"Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!" they heard a girl laugh. Megumi jumped off from a nearby house. "It looks like you two are going to need my assistance." Her face blushed and she turned around after seeing Shin and shoved her shirt into her mouth. "Oh, I feel like I'm Shin's knight and shining armor. There's no way he can resist me now." She mumbled.
"Megumi? What do you want? To kill me I suppose?" Shin asked.
"Me, not right now, I have better things to do. I made a promise to someone that I tend to keep. You'll thank me now, but the next time we meet you won't be so lucky." She turned to face the officers. "Good luck Shin." Surina and Shin stood there and watched her for a minute.
"Hey, stand back. We will shoot you." Officer one said.
"We're warning you," said the second officer.
"Oh my." Megumi licked her chops. "Then do it, or be a bunch of scary cats that you are." She jumped up and landed on one of their cars. While she was in midair the officers couldn't help but shoot from feeling threatened. "Is that all?" they watched as the bullets pushed their way out of her skin and she began to heal. She opened up her mouth and began to screech.
"Come on Shin!" Surina grabbed ahold of his hand and pulled him away from there.
"Now Toshio," Megumi began thinking. "Do what you wanted to do. Give Shin your message, because you may not have an opportunity like this ever again." She stopped screeching and walked over to one of the officers that fell to the floor. "Now, which one should I start eating first?"
"Look at this town." Shin stood there watching people run away from the ghouls. "All of this just to get to me. Wouldn't it have been simpler to have just attacked me like before?"
"We may never understand ghouls." Surina said. "My best bet is that it was easier for them to attack the town at once so that you don't have any place to hide. Come one," she grabbed ahold of his hand. "We need to start running before they spot us."
"No!" Shin withheld is position. "I need you to go someplace for me."
"What are you talking about? This isn't the time to be asking me to go elsewhere. We need to stick together so that we can protect each other."
"No!" Shin started to demand. "I need you to go check on my mom. It's very important to me that I don't lose any more family members."
"Don't be such an idiot!" Surina stomped her foot. "She's fine. We need to go find Sophia and Koto. I bet Koto found a way to stop all these ghouls."
"Why should I listen to you?" Shin asked. "To me it seems like all you care about is your stupid club. You don't look at least bit interested in helping other people out except your club members." Shin took off running.
"Shin, what got into him." She stood there watching him run off before he disappeared from sight. "Fine!" she shrugged. "I'll do what that idiot said." She took off the opposite direction while stomping her feet angrily.
"Damn it!" Toshio mumbled as he walked down the street. "I can't find Shin with all of these people and ghouls running around like this. Did they really have to choose today of all days to do this?"
"Hello Toshio." Tekai said.
"Tekai, what are you doing here?"
"I've been informed that your sister has been held inside the police station. I would kill her, but they haven't started to extract any information from her because of all this chaos. So I suggest you go save her right now before I change my mind or any other ghoul gets inside the station and gets to her."
"What's going on outside?" Renge asked Doctor Ross. "Why is everyone running around and what's that awful screeching noise?"
"We don't have time to worry about that!" he answered. The hallways were filled with injured people getting pulled into medical rooms. "It seems that all these people have been bit, or were getting eaten alive. We need to do whatever we can to help them immediately."
"I understand." Renge ran to one of the rooms to start treatment.
"Is what Narushi said before true?" Ross stood there in silence. "Are cannibals attacking this town?"
"Madam! Mrs. Rento!" Surina waved her hand as she ran to them.
"Oh look, it's Surina." Mrs. Rento waved her hand back. "I'm glad you're all right sweetie, but where is Shin?"
"He's off finding Sophia and Koto. He insisted that I left him to go check up on you. I see that you're perfectly fine with Madam."
"Yes, I think Shin needs you more then I need you." Mrs. Rento folded her hands tight up to her chest.
"Surina," Madam began speaking. "There's a young boy left at the school who needs your help. You know him, and he will become a huge part of your future. Be sure to go back there and help him out."
"Who is it?" she asked curiously.
"You'll know as soon as you get there. Now go." Madam shooed her off.
