Previously On Soul High School…
After saying their goodbyes, the group split. Yun-Seong collapsed from tiredness onto his bed. He fell asleep soundly considering what had happened today, it surprised him. But It wasn't waking up which would lead to his panic, no it was staying asleep…
_________________________
He walked a long narrow path. He was in a forest, the thick undergrowth seemed to continue on forever. He heard a voice far in the distance, yet his mouth couldn't reply like it was stuck. He broke into a jog, he recognised the voice, but without replying he was unable to locate where the echoing cry's were coming from.
"I've finally found you…" A woman, who sounded strangely familiar was behind him. As he turned a sharp dagger was placed at his throat.
"Now, you have a choice, should I kill you…" The woman circled around Yun Seong dragging the blade softly across his delicate skin. "…or should I kill you?" The woman turned her back to the man and plunged the blade into his heart.
__________________________
Yun Seong, sat bolt upright. His hand instinctively moved to the place the woman had 'stabbed' him, It was warm… a small spot of blood was there. He spotted something fluttering in the trees, it was a note. He read it aloud.
Dear Yun Seong,
Maybe Next Time….
Lots Of Love.
"Lot's of Love?" Yun Seong was baffled.
"Oohhh, secret love notes, who from?" Mi-Na she had to overhear everything. She began to grab for the note, and Yun Seong fought back, much to his immediate regret. Regardless, Mi-Na was a better 'fighter' and she read the note.
"Hahaha! Wait till I show Hwang!" Mi-Na rushed out the door.
"Mi-Na! No!" Yun Seong followed chase but got the door slammed into his face effectively knocking him back onto his bed.
A few seconds later Yun-Seong heard a roar of laughter coming from Hwang's room. He is gonna pay for that!
Hwang came in the room.
"C'mon lurverboooooyyy. Time to go to school." He laughed before playfully punching Yun-Seong in the arm. "Why didn't you tell me? Your first girlfriend awwwwww."
"Get the hell out of my room Hwang, I don't know who the note is off, it was just there!" Yun Seong stormed into the bathroom, this was gonna be one of those days.
___________________________
"So the note said 'Maybe next time, lots of love…'" Her Xianghua and Killik burst into laughter. Yun Seong grumbled.
"Whats wrong?" Talim skipped to match Yun-Seong's pace.
"No one listens to me… it's like I don't exist unless they're laughing at me!" He kicked a piece of rubble onto the road and sighed.
A warm gentle breeze blew past the group, but for some reason, Talim shivered.
'Something really isn't right…'
As if to bring their impending doom a thunder cloud was building up above the rural town.
"Oh no! I hope that isn't rain." Xianghua pointed above to the black clouds.
"Well at least you have your umbrella!" Mi-Na joked.
"It looks like thunder to me…" Talim stared into space stopping the whole group, who turned to look at her.
"Oh c'mon you know as well as anyone we haven't had a decent thunderstorm for at least 4 years now." Hwang carried on walking picking up the pace, Talim sighed, he was right the last 'storm' was over 4 years ago, she was 12 and her and Xianghua were walking down the street.
_______________________
"Whats that noise?" Xianghua stopped alert to the small rumble that had just occurred.
Boom…
The thunder shook the trees slightly and the girls ran away from the loud noise.
They turned into a alleyway and hid, a girl with dark brown hair signalled the girls to come and hide in this cardboard box.
"What are you doing out in that storm?" Mi-Na screamed. But the Yun Seong caught Talim's attention. He was scared, but he didn't turn to stare at the two, no his gaze was fixed to the floor.
"Yun Seong! !" The girl hit him on his wrist to get his attention.
"But Mi-Na, we could get hit at any minute!" The boy cried. At that precise moment a huge flash came just outside of the box and then a loud rumble of thunder. Mi-Na looked outside, the ground was charred where minutes ago Talim and Xianghua had been sitting.
Talim ran out into the rain she had to get home.
"Talim! Talim…."
_________________________
"Talim! Come on wake up!" Xianghua and Yun Seong crowded round the girl. They were at the school, she had collapsed when we had continued to walk.
"Hmmm…wha?" Talim groggily sat up, but her eyes immediately flashed to the window, walking there she gazed out.
"You were right-" Killik came to stand next to her. "-It is a thunderstorm."
Just then the ground violently shook. Everyone screamed.
"Earthquake…" Talim whispered, frozen to the spot. Immediately everything went in slow motion, they raced under the tables, but Yun Seong was trapped, his slow reaction time meant that he was holding onto the teacher's desk for dear life.
"Yun-Seong!" Talim raced out and held onto his arm she gripped the table with all of her might as the ceiling tiles came crashing down. Filing cabinets were flying everywhere. The windows finally gave in and the shards of glass flew everywhere. Talim heard a large crack and looked towards the floor.
Yun Seong followed her gaze and saw the giant crack beneath them. The outer wall collapsed and the ground beneath their feet lurched under the pressure. Then without warning the floor snapped between them and the plummeted into the classroom below.
"It's still going!" Mi-Na cried, the earthquake had been like this for over a minute now.
The support swayed to one side and the buildings began to topple around them, then, it stopped… just like that.
People were lying everywhere, most of them, sadly, were dead. There teacher had fell off the side of the building when the outer wall had fell, and only them and a few others had made it.
"Talim!" Xianghua and Killik rushed to the gap, followed by Hwang, and then an injured Mi-Na.
Yun Seong climbed out of the gap with an unconscious Talim in his arms. Tears filled in his eyes, they threatened to spill, but then as if by a miracle the young girl moved and fluttered her eyes open.
The group sighed in relief as they realised none of them had been seriously injured.
Mi-Na had a broken leg, but nothing serious, Hwang had a cut on his forehead made by a filing cabinet which smashed to pieces near him.
Talim broke a rib and had cut's and bruises to most of her body. Yun Seong had a broken wrist a sprained ankle, and broke two ribs. Killik and Xianghua had minor scratches and grazes, but remained mostly unscathed.
Talim crawled over to the side of the building with no wall, she looked out across the small city which had been totally destroyed. People's cry's could be heard for miles and soon police and news teams would be arriving. Smoke clouds made the dull sky turn jet black and for a second Talim thought she saw a streak of red, flash through the middle.
She began to cry, what had happened? It was just a normal day! Why?
She curled up into a ball in the floor and sobbed silently. Xianghua and Mi-Na went to comfort her whilst the others went to look for survivors.
The girls tried to calm Talim down and they sat her on a table, that support could crumble at any minute.
"Talim, it's not your fault!" Mi-Na wiped her eyes.
"But all those people…" Her cry's became inaudible, and the tears soon ceased.
Hwang came in the room with two girls. One had short brown hair tied into two ponytails with little beads in them, she had fainted but her pulse was still strong. The other girl had extremely long pale blonde hair, with streaks of brown and red in it.
"This is Abigail-" Killik pointed to the girl with blonde hair. "-and this is her half-sister Megan." He pointed to the unconscious brunette.
Then Megan woke up she crawled to her feet and whispered "It's coming! It's coming back!" She became hysterical, and then disaster struck.
Another huge tremor shook the already unstable building.
Talim began to cry "It's another one!" She fell to the floor and curled back up into a ball. Frantically Mi-Na and Xianghua dragged her under the table. Another few inches off the side of the building fell, and bricks and dried cement were flying everywhere. The building once again began to sway, the pure force of the quake was moving all of the things that weren't attached to the floor off the side of the building. Killik grabbed a table and pushed it over him, Hwang and the two girls, who were screaming bloody murder. Hwang's hand was shielding his eyes from the flying nails and other debris that surrounded them.
The trembling stopped. This was much quicker than the last but now the building had a very unsafe curve to it. The top of the building was bending forward. No one dared move in case it toppled and they all fell to the floor below.
"Your still alive? Oh, well lets leave them be!" A woman dressed in a cloak threw a dagger at Yun Seong. It missed his head by inches, and the note attached read this,
Kiss, Kiss, I'll make it better,
Just wait and see what I'll have in store,
For you and your little friends.
Lots Of Love.
"Yun Seong? You didn't tell me your girlfriend was a PSYCOTIC KILLER MANIAC WHO HAS THE ABILITY TO SENSE EARTHQUAKES!" Hwang's voice echoed as the building made a groaning noise as if it couldn't stay there for long.
"Shut Up!" Killik whispered.
"Yeah and she's not my girlfriend!" Yun -Seong argued. Who was she? Did she cause this?
Everyone gasped as the building lurched forward one time to many…
