Back at the tower, the girls had no idea of what was going to happen. One of the figures grabbed a nearby pigeon and slaughtered it in front of the girls, establishing fear in them.
The police got to central park and searched for clues. They saw the inscription on the tree which said gotcha.
"Officer, please, my Runo is out there somewhere, goodness knows where! Please, have you found or seen anyth…." Runo's dad cried. "Look Sir, we are doing the best we can, we'll find your daughter and her friends, okay? Just go home and rest."
"Okay" responded Runo's dad. They searched everywhere for more clues and found none. They spent two and a half hours searching but found nothing.
"Ahhhh!" screamed the girls. One of the figures started advancing towards Julie. Julie shrieked! "Get away from her!" screamed Alice. "Leave her alone!" cried Runo. The figure continued to advance towards her and then suddenly grabbed her. The other figures advanced towards Alice and Runo and grabbed each of them.
"I've found something!" Shouted one of the policewomen. "It's an inscription which says 15 minutes more." The clock struck but this was abnormal. The time was 3:15 am. Why was the clock striking?"
The police raced to the clock tower to check out the place. Suddenly, there were one, two, no three cries – loud cries. "Alright Officers, let's advance into the building and check it out!" cried one of the squad leaders. They got in and raced to the top floor. There was a shoot out; both the officers and the figures were shooting. Two officers were already shot dead, one stabbed and one was shot until he was paralysed. The three girls ran towards the police. The whole place was like an abattoir but even bloodier. After about what seemed a long battle, all three figures were shot down but were they dead? Runo, Alice and Julie walked to the place were the figures were shot. They saw their clothes; black hooded gowns, but they were not in them! "Where are the figures? Could they have disappeared?" wondered each girl. There were blood stains all over the floor and around the clothes, a sure sign that the figures had been shot but were they shot dead?
"Looks like they've disappeared," said Runo.
"How do we know that they won't reappear?" asked Julie.
"Well, it looks like they're gone because there is smoke coming out of their clothing," Alice pointed out.
"SMOKE!" shrieked the girls. How could there be smoke?
Lighting struck at that precise moment and the whole building shook. It was then that the girls realised that they were alone – the police had gone.
"Great, the police have deserted us," said Julie.
"How do you kn…"Runo started
Ahhhh!
The floor gave way at that moment; the girls fell into the abyss. They fell into deeper and deeper darkness and their screams re- echoed greatly, the deeper they fell. And if you listen closely, you could hear a faint laughter or two. No three.
The bell rang- "Brrriiinnnggg! Brrriiinnnggg!"
"That's the end of today's class" said Ms Purdy, the English teacher. "Hope you have a nice weekend!" "Runo, Alice and Julie, I would like to see you all"
The three best friends went to see Ms Purdy. "I hope you all day dreaming throughout my whole class?" She said.
"Oh no, I dozed off in class again!" whispered Julie under her breath. "And since you spent most of the lesson day dreaming, you will all write me a 5,000 word essay on how it is wrong to daydream in English Class, submit on my desk on Monday, happy Weekend!" said Ms Purdy.
"Oh man," groaned Alice, "a 5,000 word essay, a nice way to spend the weekend." "Hey, were we all daydreaming?" asked Julie.
"It seems so" answered Runo. "I saw all three of us being chased and nearly killed by these dark anonymous figures."
"Really, me too"
"Me, three!"
Runo sighed, "I'm glad, it was just a dream, and it seemed so real."
"Hello milady, are you alright?" a white bakugan popped out onto shoulder.
"Yes Tigrera, I'm okay"
"Well, it wasn't real" said Julie.
"What wasn't real" Gorem asked.
"Yeah, you're right, come on, let's get out of here before Mrs Miller tells us to write a one million word essay on why you are not to chat after an English class!" said Alice.
"Huh" said Hydranoid.
"Are we missing something?" the bakugan muttered to themselves.
The three girls giggled on their way out of class and prepared for another weekend without the guys. Just the three of them.
Hey, but we know what happened was real, don't we or was it?
