Chapter 8: The School
As Ron twisted the door knob and opened the door the yard looked like an average yard. "Hmm this is the first normal thing I seen in this town." Bonnie joked. "You can say that again." Kim replied to her joke. As soon as Josh step on to the yard a sudden rush of fear came over him out of no where. The light of day disappeared to be taken over by the color of night the fog also disappeared by the blackness of night the snow continued to fall. "OK what time is it?" Ron asked. "Twelve o'clock in the after noon the last time I checked which was ten minutes ago." Josh replied with the voice of disbelief behind it. "So how can nine hours of sunlight disappear in just nine seconds?" Kim asked. Josh's heart started pumping fast it was like a nightmare of his that he had since he was the age of ten. Everybody turned on there flashlights and gather in a small group since it would be ten time harder to see what was out there "Alright lets get goin." Ron said and started towards the gate to leave the yard. Kim got close to Ron and put arms around his 'ok fighting bad guys is one thing but this weird shit is a whole different story' she thought to herself as she felt comfort in holding onto Ron's arm.
Walking down the alley onto Midwich St. toward Midwich Elementary School the teen found the town to be more terrifying in the dark tan with in light. The town had a sound of life to it not the pleasant of a small town that you would expect but it had a noise of that something of rabid wolves fighting over a piece of meet and voices of all sort that brought the hairs on the back of there necks sticking up with fear. The flashlight caught the bright yellow paint off a old really beat-up school bus. "Hey we're at the school." Bonnie said with a little excitement in her voice hoping that Cheryl was in the school so they can get the hell out of there. Kim ran up to the bus and inside to see it empty and dirty with dirt and rust. "She's not in the bus." Kim said looking at right Ron who was really not that disappointed. "Then we head into the school?" Josh asked as Ron nodded.
All four walked up to school as they noticed the door were decaying and rusting. All entered the main lobby area the looked around and seeing that the school had been under some kind of random violent shooting or stabbing. The wall was covered in blood and bullet holes of all sorts then the phone rang. Ron over and picked up the phone in the receiver was Cheryl screaming into his ear. "RONNY HELP ME!" the voice yelled into the phone. Everyone looked at him in disbelief as Ron held up the receiver cord which was not plugged into the phone. Another voice came over "Ah, Mr. Stoppable the doctor is waiting." The man said in a voice that would freeze the blood in anybodies veins. Before he cold respond the phone hocked up. Kim went over to him putting her arms around him and he did the same. Bonnie walked over to the two and looked on the desk and noticed something that was written in blood. "I swear some one is really fucking with us. Look at this guys." Bonnie said pointing on the desk. It read '10:00 Chemistry Lab: Gold in an old man's palm. The future hidden in his fist exchange it for sage's water. 12:00 Music Room: A silver guide post. Untapped in lost tongues awaken at ordained order. 5:00 Furnace Room: Flames render the silence awakening the hungry beast. Open time's door to beckon prey.' "What does it mean?" Josh asked. "Nothing." Ron replied in the back a bell rung loudly though the halls. "That was a bell where there's a there's a clock lets go." Kim said grabbing Ron's hand. Ron seen a map for the school and took it fro future references.
The doors were either to rotten to open or they were locked accept one that leads to the campus courtyard. "This is the only door that seems to able to open." Bonnie said as she opened the door. A crowd of child holding knives stabbing at one another suddenly stopped, then turned there direction to the young group of teenagers with lights shinning in there direction. "Close the door!" Ron yelled as he shut the door. Inches from Ron's face a knife stabbed through as well as others one right after another. 'Lets see if there a back way." Kim suggested all seem to agree as they head towards the front door and exit walking to the main street the bell rang again all four turn around wondering where it was coming from. Josh notices the clock tower in the corner of the courtyard of the school. "Hey guys the bell is coming from courtyard." Josh said to the others. "How can you tell.. Oh I see." Bonnie said then noticing the clock tower. It took Kim and Ron little longer to notice the clock tower then slapped there heads for not realizing where it was. "Alright lets go then." Ron said. All four headed through the building to the courtyard.
"Ok when we do this keep them far away from you as possible and stay together." Ron said as he drew his katana out. He opened the door the beings, or what ever the hell they were crept toward them. All four to their stands and waited till they came close enough to strike. It was an easy battle for the teen heroes as the children went down one by one. "KP, check your Kimunicator see if it making that weird noise again my radio is." Ron said as he stabbed another. Kim pulled out the device and turned it on there was no signal at all just a static screen with a high pitched noise, that disappeared after bonnie shot the last corpse kid. "Ron I'm getting no signal at all with the Kimunicator." Kim said to Ron worried that they are on their own. "Bonnie, check my cell phone, see if you get any reception at all with it." Ron asked her as she nodded and checked the cell phone. "Sorry Ron no signal." She said. Ron suddenly froze in his spot remembering the dream he had a couple nights before. "Kim, remember the dream I had back there in the hotel." Kim nodded. "This is what I dreamt about." Kim looking confused at Ron. "The dream where you got those gashes from and everybody thought you tried to commit suicide." Kim asked. "Ye.." Ron was about to answer as the radio was going off again fallowed by a screeching sound a bird of some sort came down catching Bonnie's arm and screamed in pain. Ron in one graceful move sliced the birds head off. Kim looked at Ron wondering where the hell he learned that from and all the other moves he was doing earlier. Everybody gathered around Bonnie her arm was bleeding not that bad as it should have but still.
"Ron, take your badges off." Kim asked. Ron did as he was told and notices the two wounds were exactly the same. All four looked in shock that Ron's dream and what just happened were exactly identical. Ron realized that this was no prank by some crazy guy something was terribly wrong with this town and why did it have to do with him or the rest of them. "I think your right Kim we are way over in our heads." Ron said with a very and unnatural seriousness in his voice.
"Guys look at this their marking here." Josh said as everybody walked up after bandaging Bonnie's arm. "Its Latin, its saw with three keys placed here on the hour you will see an answer to your way out." Kim read to the others. "Now and on the hour will be the count down to the arrival of Apocalypse." "What does that mean?" Josh asked everybody shrugged to his question. "Alright lets find Cheryl so we get the hell out." Ron said. The weather became cold the snow stopped and ran began to poor the smell of burnt hair and flesh began to fill the air. "What is goin on? And where is the ground." Bonnie asked lighting a make and dropping going through the gated ground the match kept going and going. To Ron it was like all the sudden the background change on them, then at the end of the court yard a girl sat there and giggled and ran inside. "Hey did anybody see that girl." Bonnie asked. "Yea, at the high way on the way here." Ron said starting to walk that way. Kim looking at Ron with a puzzled look she was not sure it was the same girl.
"Come on lets go maybe she can help us." Ron said in a full sprint. Once everybody was inside they froze flashing lights down the hall both ways to see if they see the Girl. "Who in the hell is this kid?" Josh asked. "I don't know but I'm planning to find out." Ron said with a very serious and unnatural voice. Kim looked at him worried that he was loosing hope or getting very pissed. "Ok we split up in two and take a floor me and josh will take the second floor and you take this one, look in all the rooms every nook and cranny of every room." Ron said looking at Bonnie and Kim both nodding and hading them the floor map. "We'll meet back here in ninety minutes." Bonnie asked all nodded.
It has been forty five minutes in the search in the mean time Josh and Ron were catching up on some old times. "So how have you and Kim been doin lately? Has she talked about me at all?" Josh asked hoping to hear something good after all. "Let me tell you this after lying that you claim you popped her cherry, and saying you guys practically every night you got nookie. Here's the funny part she busted you what do you think I mean c'mon. Dude you're a cool guy to hang around and actually nice I hate to say it you screwed up big time." Ron said flatly but still felt a little sorry I real life he was a nice guy. It was shame Him and Kim made a good couple, but the asshole had to fuck it up. "I guess your right, hey lets check the music she maybe in here." Josh said with a little disappointment.
Meanwhile back in the first floor Kim and Bonnie were catching up in their own unique way. "How did you and Josh get together?" Kim asked see the two together here for some odd reason. "Who said we were dating?" Bonnie said flatly wondering where she got that idea. "I thought you two being here I just assumed. And why do you always give me such crap anyways." Kim said getting annoyed after a few exchanged words Bonnie finally gave in.
"CAUSE YOUR LIFE IS SO DAMN PERFECT." Bonnie said leaning against the wall and slumping down to the ground. "You have a wonderful family; your best friend is still alive, your father actually stayed around, and everybody has something good to say about you." Bonnie said quietly enough for Kim to hear as her head lay looking top the ground. Kim just looked at her with shock all this time it was jealously. "After Ron's sister died and you got to go to the funeral and nobody didn't even let me know about it. I was just as a good friend as you were I would have liked to tell her how great of a friend she was to me. Then after that my father left and everybody I knew started saying shit behind my back. I always wondered why me?" Bonnie continued as her voice cracking from small sobs. "Now Ron had seen Josh with me he probably talking to how long we were dating making up all kind of shit about me." Bonnie said. "Bonnie how long had you known me and Ron?" Kim asked. "Since kindergarten." Bonnie replied. "We known each other for god know when and had change, accept our little competition that we had between us." Kim said her putting her arms around her to comfort her. She accepted hugging her back and sob lightly.
Mean while Ron and Josh finished checking the rooms for the second floor. "What the hell happen to this place? It was such friendly little town." Ron said Look at the blood soaked floor and wall and hearing that weary pitch of noise coming from no where. They starting to walk to the stairway, then Ron's radio starts to crack with its signature crackle. Josh and Ron turned around but nothing flashing lights every where but no figure. Ron light caught a figure of a small child but it was standing in the corner crying. "I'll meat you with the girls." Josh said Ron nodded telling him he'll join him after he checks something else. Ron got closer to see the figure. 'hhhmmm.' He thought and continues his way.
"Ron!" Kim yelled flashing the light at him. "Ok I see you, I see you." Ron said while flashing the lights away. "Where's Josh?" Ron asked. "He was with you." Bonnie said. "Yea, but he said to meat him with you." Ron said with a puzzle look on his face. Then a voice of a small girl cheerfully said "Josh is seeing the doctor. The doctor is going to give his exam." All three had chills down there spine it seemed to come out of nowhere. The same girl they were looking for runs to the court yard. "Come lets follow her." Ron said running after her. Kim and Bonnie followed in pursuit through the school to the street.
