"Okay, looks like we need to look for a boy named Harland," I say, opening the door to the school. A young woman, probably in her early twenties, sits behinds the desk, reading a paper. There's a bell also. I walk over and push the bell. "Oh, hello," she says, suddenly jumping up and putting the piece of paper back in the desk. "Hi, we're looking for a boy named Harland." I say, standing up as high as I can to reach the top of the desk. "Oh, okay. But may I ask you two some questions?" she says, walking from behind the desk and opening a door on the side of us. "Yeah, sure," I reply, following her. The hallway is a very long hallway. On each side of the walls are doors all lined up a cross from each other. "Why would a bunch of kids like you need Harland? He has some of the most highest scores in the school, and he's on the right track." she says, walking towards an elevator at the end of the hall, and pressing the open button. "And I happened to recognize those uniforms you're wearing. My husband and I stayed at that end before it was burned down, so, why are you wearing them?" "Oh, it's back in business," I reply with a happy tone. "Oh, I'll probably stop by sometime, me and my husband," she smiles as the elevator opens revealing an exact copy of what we just came from. "His class room is the one at the very end, to the left. It's 2-b," she says, walking back inside of the elevator and closing it.
"Well, she left pretty quickly," Bill says staring at the end of the hallway. "Let's get this over with." I say, walking towards the end of the hallway, and to the left, than silently knock on the door. A woman with brown hair (teacher I assume) and green eyes walks out and opens the door. She looks shocked when she see's all of us, and so does the rest of the class. In the back of the classroom, a boy with black hair and brown eyes stares at us with a large smile. "You must be Harland?" I ask, walking through the seats. He nods and stands up, "Are you here to come and take me back?" "if you're talking about taking you to the INN, I guess you're right." He starts laughing and grabs my arm, "Than let's go!" The lady with brown hair looks angry, "Um, excuse me ma'am, you can't just take my students out of the class room." Harland smiles and than opens a window, "Let's go." He says, than jumps out, and starts levitating. "To the restaurant?" he asks, landing a few feet away from the school. I look around, "Yeah," I nod, "But what about my friends." Harland snaps and backs up, "You may wanna move too." He grabs my arm and steps back. "Here they come," he says, watching shadow in the sky, as four people fall on top of each other. A series of 'ouches' can be heard from the four. "Okay, now that that's done, we should head back, I mean, this has a time limit on the top. We only have like fifteen minutes, only 'cause he gave us an hour to bring theses people back, and so far, we've taken up almost all of our hour." "So, where going to the restaurant?" Harland says, "Or are you still trying to snatch a few people?" I shrug, "Really, we don't know where any of these people come from, and it would probably be very hard to find them in the short amount of time we have." Harland takes the list from Bills hand, "Listen, some of these people we can pick up on the way, at least three, so let's go."
It's like a shortcut through the ghetto part of oak cliff, and than everyone stares at you, but the only difference is everyone here is pale, so I just get the feeling they're staring at my friends. "Okay," Harland says, pointing to a door, "The other two on the list are in here. They should come right away." I knock on the door and watch as It slowly opens. "Oh, hi!" A girl with bright orange hair says. "Oh, hi, can you come with us, please?" I ask. "Sure, and you're with the burnt down restaurant, right?" I nod at he. "Okay, just let me get my sister, and then we can go." "Sure, just hurry up, we're running out of time."
So here we are with three new people added to our gang. Harland, Elizabeth and Akira. "So, we still have time to get one more person, but I don't think he'll come willingly." Harland says, taking another one of his shortcuts. Already, I can tell I'm not going to like this house. It's beat down, the windows are broken, and than it looks just plain ugly. The eight of us all get in a circle and put are hands in the middle, "Rock, paper, scissors." Everyone got paper except Bill, who get's paper. "No way I'm going up to that door by myself, how come we can't all go?" Harland nods and walks ahead, "You know, Bill has a point, let's just all go." Slowly, we all begin to follow him, but we can't even make it to the door. We fall straight through the ground and into a deep dark pit.
"Hahaha!" a boy cries at the top of the pit, "You thought that I'd let you take me back to that dump? Oh no, I beat you, and now you'll pay the price. We all watch in horror as the boy begins to unzip his pants, "I had lemonade before you were all caught, and now it's coming straight for you!"
"Defiantly doesn't smell like lemonade," Bill says, smelling his sleeve. Maya hits Bill in the head, "That's because it's pee, not lemonade." "That was gross," I say, walking with my arms extended. "It's gonna take forever to wash this pee out of our hair and our clothes," Alice says, pulling her wet hair. "Hey, so is it true, every single one of these people on this list worked here before the fire that everyone says destroyed this place?" I ask Harland. "Yep, so far, I've at least seen everyone on this list," Harland replies. "And also, just incase you wanted to know, every single person on this list also is or was a demon." "Huh?" before I can get a reply, Harland runs towards the INN, than falls down and bumps into John. John smiles and looks around, "Looks like you've a few people, but no worries. You all need to report to stations, here." He hands us all paper. "Room service" I read out loud, "for everyone?" "Yep, you've got magik, and I'll teach you how to use it, but for now, room service." John points towards the door and ignores everyone's puzzled looks.
Okay, here's the deal. I am leaving July 14th and coming back April 1st. So no updates till than.
