Okay. I'm just gonna go out with it. Somebody guessed it so the Bizarre Dolls are coming soon! I was getting bored of how long I was all "friendship! Friendship!" I sound like Anzu from Yu-Gi-Oh for crying out loud! Finally! Something real is happening in this chapter.
Ciel's POV
"Viridian," Sebastian called her name. Viridian sat up straight in her seat. She was wiped out from yesterday and all the shopping, and so way I. On the way to school that was all we talked about on the top deck of the bus, how tired we were, while receiving looks and random comments from Kayleigh, Alaoisa and Joe. "Please pay attention." Viridian nodded but as soon as Sebastian turned around she returned to her normal self: slacking off but still somehow paying attention. It was only registration and things were-
"By the way," Sebastian said, interrupting my thoughts. "A new students will be joining us today." I had a feel- "May I introduce Elizabeth Midford," on cue Elizabeth came into the classroom, blonde spiralling pigtails and all. Her green eyes went straight to me as she set her usual smile upon her face. "I'm Mr. Michaelis, we welcome you to 9-Red." He pointed to me. "You can sit behind Ciel over there." Elizabeth nodded.
"Thank you… Mr. Michaelis," she said in that high-pitched voice of hers. She sat down behind us… I could feel her eyes boring into the back of my head… Then they shifted. I looked to Viridian who seemed uncomfortable.
"Viridian…" I whispered. She craned her head slowly to me, like a robot that had rusty joints.
"S-She's… Her eyes… They're not boring into the back of my head," she lowered her head even more. "They're boring into my soul…" I highly doubted that even… Okay. I realised how jealous girls could get.
When registration was over, we went to normal subjects as last week the subjects were sorted out. Sebastian wouldn't be teaching us for every lesson anymore so we had to find out where all the classrooms were. Luckily, Viridian and I were in the same lessons for each subject… And Elizabeth was in some of them as well.
"So that answers our question of who's coming next…" But that made things worse. One after another, people were coming over. Viridian sighed. "This is getting out of hand. If Claude, that paedophile perverted butler comes over…" We shuddered at the thought. At least we could talk now that the teacher wasn't in the room.
"Sorry to barge in here," came a voice. Oh come on! Edward, Lizzy's brother came into the room… "I'm on office duty," wait when did he come here? "And I was told to bring this student in."
"OH HELL NAW!" Those words Viridian said echoed through the classroom before the kid stepped in… Luckily, not wearing VERY short shorts.
"Hello everyone! Alois Trancy 'ere! I got lost on the way here, so sorry!" The blonde popped his head around the corner with a smile and glint in his pale blue eyes.
"I…hate…him."
"So then," Edward said. "Alois. I'm going to drop you off over here…" He scanned the room for a spare seat. Damn. Please don't see, please don't see- "You can sit next to the blue haired kid at the back." Damn. Freaking. It…. I saw Viridian slowly standing up from her seat.
"What are you doing?" I asked as Edward left Trancy in the room.
"I am going to commit suicide. I do not like him," she stated simply. That was just extreme. You couldn't just commit suicide for hating someone… or… At least she wasn't afraid of death.
"Hey Ci-el!"~ Alois called across the classroom as about twenty other students looked at us. "How are you doing?" Twenty individual snickers. "Who's the girl!"
"None of your business!" Viridian shouted. "I am going to go kill myself. See ya in hell Trancy pants!" She made it to the window and stood up on a table.
"Viridian! What are you doing!" A girl shouted. As Viridian opened the window she stopped. Her eyes widened in shock from something. She pulled away from the window, abandoning her thoughts of suicide. "Viridian?"
"Ciel," Viridian ignored the girl. "We're leaving now."
"What?" She came up to me, grabbing my wrist and pulling me out of my seat. "What the hell are you playing at?"
"No time to explain," she left everything as it was on the table, books and all. I'm sure the only thing she had on her person was her phone, earphones, bus pass, a couple of pens and a folded up piece of paper which she kept for drawing. "We need to go now so"- She stopped herself. "Find somewhere to hide," she whispered. "I'll find you."
"What are you on about?" I tugged myself off of her. "Are you crazy?"
"So your bitch is an escapee from a mental asylum?" Alois yelled, causing the class to erupt in laughter. I didn't want to hear that blonde idiot's laughter.
"Shut up Trampy!" Viridian said. If this was another time, I would be laughing so hard but I resisted. "If any of you want to live, then get the hell out of here now!" The class just laughed even more.
"She's insane! What kind of joke is this? She does belong in an asylum!" Jeering, laughing, all aimed at her… She bowed her head.
"Fine then…" She chuckled to herself with her head lowered. "Screw all of you people. I don't really care about most of you anyway…" She looked at me, regret in her dark eyes. "Ciel… I see how it is," before I could respond, she was out the door and out of my sight in a flash.
"You idiot!" I pushed Alois against the classroom walls as everyone watched. "How dare you say that to her!" It wasn't like me to defend someone I'd known for only a short while. But she was different. She did what she could for me. People made fun of my hair, my eye patch… My everything. She dealt with them yet, I didn't stick up for her now. It was hard to say, no, think of it, but, she was my friend.
"Pfft." Alois laughed as I held him by his blazer against the wall. "Why so angry? She's not your friend," his laughter was silenced when I moved my hands to his throat.
"Ciel!" One of the boys approached me. "Calm down!"
"No!" I hated him. He messed with Sebastian, my fiancé, Viridian, and me. "Look Trancy. Here, the rules are different from where we come from. I don't care if I get locked up for this. I"-
"Attention all students," the speakers interrupted me before I could continue. "This is an emergency situation. All students are to follow all the instructions set by their teachers and evacuate the school immediately." What? Viridian was right…
"Screw you Alois Trancy," I pushed Alois against the wall again to give him the message and left him, running after Viridian.
"Gah!" The principal's voice rang loud and clear over the speakers. "W-What are you doing?" I kept running. I had to find her. She knew what the hell was going on. "G-get away from"- Then the speaker went dead. I ran through the silence. But Lizzy. Or Viridian. Who to go after first? I did know where Lizzy was so I could go save her or go find Viridian who was probably helpless when it came to fighting. No, Lizzy was my fiancé. I couldn't leave her. Then I heard screams. Banging. Crashing.
Students poured out of the classrooms, running, screaming, tumbling over each other in confusion and fear. It wasn't a fire. It was more serious… I had to get to my locker first. Luckily, I had managed to conceal my gun in there somehow. That was the first thing I needed. I couldn't encounter whatever had caused this panic without a proper weapon.
Six bullets," I muttered. The school was huge, I wasn't surprised that no one had come to the lockers to take their belongings. Who would if the situation was this bad? I put the gun in the holster which was attached to my belt, idiots thought that was where I kept my pens, and went to find Lizzy. She was in the room above me wasn't she?
I reached the room... But it was like a tornado had struck through here. Where was Lizzy though? I regretted to think that I left Viridian after how I treated her. Things were going too fast. I had no idea what was going on. I could only hope that the both of them were safe. I had to send Sebastian in on this.
"Sebastian," I called his name. No answer and he didn't appear. I lifted my eye patch to show the purple contract mark on my right eye. "Sebastian." Something was wrong. I went to one of the computers and looked at my reflection. My mark was still there... And. What was that behind me? I turned around quickly. As it was about to bite me I fought against it. A bizarre doll? What was it doing here? No. The fourth wall. If one was here, then there were others... Then they'd turn everyone. Wait. The bizarre doll was a kid in my class! No... I knew Lizzy could protect herself, but only if she had her sword. Viridian probably had a tough girl act but she probably couldn't even fight!
I struggled against the bizarre doll, it's teeth gnashing at me as I held it's wrists and my foot against it's chest as I was cornered against the computer barrier. I couldn't break free or it would bite me, I couldn't reach my gun with both of my hands like this. The only thing left was my leg. I needed to think quickly. My arms were getting tired. Then it hit me. I hooked my foot around a chair leg and pulled it up, hitting the bizarre doll on it's hip, making it loose it's grip on me. I jumped over the table to get away then pulled out my gun. Safety off. Then the gun shot fired. I was an idiot. The sound was going to bring more of them here now. I had to get out as fast as I could. If I used the doors, I would be running into the hallway where there weren't much places to run but the other rooms and stairs... The windows. It was risky. But I had to do it. My eye patch was still flipped up and attached to my head so I could see through the contract mark... Hopefully it wouldn't obscure my vision to much.
I looked down. There was a ledge... But it was small. I'd have to hold onto the windowsills and lean against the outside wall. There were a few poles that I could swing to where flags hung but I doubted they'd hold my weight. I looked over... The ... Streets... Ruined. Cars had crashed. Fires had erupted. Smoke came up in columns and tendrils. What was it, ten minutes? All this in at the most ten minutes. I gulped. I climbed out of the window and put my foot on the windowsill as a step to get down to the ledge. I dared not look down. The roof of the next building was down a floor and about four windows away. Not too bad right?
Damn... It was freezing ah! And slippery. I forgot it rained this morning. How stupid could I get today? My foot slipped slightly but I regained balance and made it to the first window. Three more then a drop to the roof. The second was easy. Two. I faced the wall and moved my foot down the ledge, holding onto the windowsill... My fingers hurt. If only I had my gloves. I couldn't be giving up now, I was so-
I lost my footing.
So every time I write this story, I'm not sure whether to kill someone off or just end it. This way, if I'm not sure about the conclusion, you guys are unaware of an ending as well. I think this is a good way for me to write as it feels as if both of us are progressing through the story. Anyway, that's all I have to say. I've taken down 'One Hell of a Mage' and forgot to put Viridian's character profile. I'm sorry, I just didn't think anybody wanted to read but anyway… THIS ASIAN'S OUT! PEACE! (-_-)
