Chapter 5: What the Heck?
Apparently she had fallen asleep. Miranda lifted her head off her desk to find a dark empty classroom. The TV was off, and no one was arguing. Without saying anything she stood up and reached under the desk. Her books were gone.
"Okay guys! Not Funny!" She went into the hall, which I might add, was also dark. "Oh, a clock where's a clock?!" She ran up the hall and veered into the first door she saw, all the rooms had clocks. Except this one. She looked around. "Teacher's lounge! DUH!" She walked more slowly this time to the lounge. And when she opened the door she at least expected Mr. Finley. But no one was there either.
It was a miracle that what happened next didn't make her die of shock. Miranda looked around the room. When she didn't find any kind of clue, she decided to go back to detention. She exited the room, only to find a figure from the past waiting for her. In front of her was a man wearing a black robe, with a black hood. Whose hands happened to be glowing.
At First Miranda was startled. But then she realized this was unnecessary.
"Oh," She said. "Hi Mr. Finley," She reached up to pull the mask off, but he caught her hand. He twisted it backwards, causing Miranda to scream.
"What's wrong with you?!" She screamed she fell down and quickly kicked him where she knew it would hurt. He let go of her arm and stumbled backwards to the point where he was leaning on the wall. Miranda lifted herself up and began to walk backwards, towards the lounge door. But when she opened the door and took another step, she found herself losing her balance. She fell down again, but this time she didn't hit the floor. Because the floor had vanished. She was falling into a bottomless pit. The figure looked down at her and waved goodbye.
When it suddenly occurred to Miranda that this had to be a dream. Meaning she was in trouble because she is asleep in detention.
"Lizzie!" She screamed. "Wake me up!"
But Lizzie didn't wake her up. In fact, no one did. She landed. The pit ended. And she wasn't dead. This was strange. The Figure appeared out of the darkness. Miranda backed away but with great speed the figure stepped ahead and grabbed her arms.
"What do you want?!" She yelled.
"Your help…"
But unfortunately when this was said, she was woken up.
