…
"Have you noticed all the 'missing people' signs?" Ethan asked Benny one morning as they were eating breakfast. Benny looked around the cafeteria and nodded. "It's almost as bad as when Jesse first had his flock."
"Yeah, but I'm sure we'd notice if a bunch of a vampires were running around town."
"Would we?"
"Is that what you think it is?"
"I don't know. But whatever it is, it probably isn't good."
"When are monsters ever good?"
"True…"
…
A new teacher stalked the hallways of the school, eyeing the students that passed her.
What better place for a hunting ground than a high school, filled with young, supple teenagers?
She had landed the perfect job!
But she knew she had to be careful. If she picked off too many at a time, people would begin to notice something was off.
So, she only did one, maybe two a night.
No reason to get selfish.
Not yet.
As she turned the corner, a strong combination of smells hit her nose; a mixture of rotting flesh, spices, and… something so delicious she swears she could feel her pupils dilating. Turning her head slightly, she saw the culprits of the smells that currently assaulted her.
Three boys who she recognized from one of her classes, two of which were arguing quite animatedly.
"Oh come on! I was a much better statue that you!" the blonde cried out; she had to wrinkle her nose when he spoke. The smell of rotting was too much for her.
"Oh please!" the tall brunette exclaimed, assaulting her with the spicy smell, "I was totally better than you!"
"You guys! Go to class!" the smallest said tiredly; she smiled as he spoke. There was that smell again.
She had just found her newest target.
Smiling, she turned on her heel and fled to her classroom.
She couldn't wait for tonight.
…
"Oh my God, will you two please stop arguing!" Ethan cried out as the trio sat down at their desks. The two guys in question stopped talking while Benny leaned closer to his boyfriend.
"E? You okay?" Ethan nodded and sat his head on the desk top.
"Just have a really bad headache is all," he murmured, closing his eyes. "It won't go away." Benny frowned as him and began to rub small circles in-between his shoulder blades. "Mmm. Thanks B." Benny smiled while Rory made gagging noises.
"Shut it Dorkula," he hissed, making Rory flash his fangs at them in a grimace.
"Oh please, I bet I could get a girlfriend that's way hotter than Ethan! No offense E."
"None taken," he said softly, propping his chin up so he could pay attention in class.
"I bet I could even get that hottie of teacher," he said dreamily, making Benny snicker.
"Yeah right. Just because you're undead doesn't make you attractive."
"Pssh, if I was gay and you weren't dating Ethan you'd totally want me!"
"Yeah, like I would want the chicken pox again." The two continued to argue while Ethan just rolled his eyes. His friends were idiots.
Class passed in a blur for him though, so when he stood up, Benny's arm light around his waist, he was surprised when the teacher called his name.
"Ethan? Could you stay after class for a minute?" Ethan looked at Benny, who smiled.
"I'll be in the hallway." He nodded and made his way to the desk.
"Yes Ma'am?"
"Ethan, I noticed you weren't looking so good today," she said softly, her voice smooth; it made him shiver.
"Yeah, I had a headache today. I'm sorry."
"Maybe you should go home and rest. You don't look well." Ethan could only shrug. She smiled softly at him. "Well that was all. You are one of my brightest students, so I just wanted to make sure you're okay Ethan. Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"Good. Have a good rest of the day. Here's a late pass for your next class, actually two since I know Benny is waiting for you. Goodbye Ethan."
"Bye…"
Once he got to the classroom's door, he turned back to see her still watching him, her eyes wide.
He shivered again and hurried from the room.
She smiled as she breathed in the air around her.
Oh, he would be so delicious when the time came.
…
As soon as school was over for the day, Ethan hurried home, his head killing him still. Benny had wanted to go with him, but Ethan had convinced him to go home because he wasn't going to be much fun today. Benny had fought, but in the end relented and let his boyfriend go home to curl up in bed.
Which is what Ethan did.
As his eyes closed out the world, he could swear he heard a high pitched laugh around him.
Before he could open his eyes to see if it was real or not, he was fast asleep, his head still pounding.
…
She sat in her classroom, watching the sun go down outside her window. As the sky darkened, her smile grew. Getting as comfy as she could in her chair, she leaned her head back as far as she possibly could.
With a gentle 'pop', her head was disconnected from her body.
With a sadistic grin on her face, she floated out of the building.
It was time for dinner.
…
When his eyes opened again, the room was dark. Turning on a lamp, he blinked until everything came into focus. Looking at his nightstand, he saw a note. Squinting, he began to read.
'Ethan, we went to the movies with Jane. You were sleeping so soundly we didn't want to bother you. We saved you a plate of food if you're hungry. It's in the fridge. Love, Mom and Dad.'
Ethan groaned and sat up from his bed, his head still hurting.
Stumbling in a half-slumber state, he grabbed his phone and went down to the kitchen to get something to eat. As he was in the kitchen, he thought he heard a thump somewhere outside. Ignoring it, he began to heat up his food.
Thump.
There it was again. Ethan shivered and texted Benny, letting him know he was awake, in case he wanted to come over. He smiled at the immediate response he got from his boyfriend.
Thump.
Ethan moved slowly to the window as he heard it again. Thump. As he began to pull back the curtain, something hurtled through the window, shattering it. Ethan jumped back in shock, his eyes wide.
"Holy fuckin' hell!"
Floating in his kitchen was a woman's head, a sadistic grin stretching over her lips.
"Miss… Miss Kabi?" he asked as he recognized the face; it was his teacher. Her smile grew as she floated closer. "What the fuck?" She didn't speak, but she did float closer. She smiled and opened her mouth wide before letting out a high-pitched shriek. He screamed as she dived for him. Missing, she dived again. Ethan hurried up the stairs and to his room, hearing a loud screech again. Slamming the door and locking it, he looked for his phone.
He couldn't find it.
He must have left it downstairs!
"Fuck," he muttered as a loud banging began on his door. He heard the shriek again and more banging. "I'm gonna die. Out of all the shit I've encountered, I'm gonna die by a floating woman's head. Fuck."
Then, the banging stopped.
Ethan stood against the farthest wall in his bedroom as he waited for whatever would happen next.
Then, with a crash, his door flew open and the head advanced on him, a big grin on its face.
…
"Dude, you gotta come see this." Benny rolled his eyes as he grabbed his bag.
"I'm going to Ethan's. Whatever I have to see can wait another day."
"Not this… there's a headless corpse in the school!"
"What? Why are you in the school at night anyway?"
"I left my Bio book. I needed it for homework so I came back to get it. Dude, you gotta come see this." Benny had to resist the temptation to roll his eyes.
"Fine. I'll be there in a few minutes. This better be good." Hanging up the phone, he hurried down the sidewalk, sending a quick text to Ethan telling him he'd be over later.
…
"That's just disturbing," Benny said as Rory led him into the room. "What the fuck is that?"
"I don't know, but isn't it cool?"
"No, it's disturbing," Benny said with disgust. "Is that… Is that Miss Kabi's body?" Benny asked upon closer inspection.
"I think it is," Rory said, staring at it with wide eyes. "Duuuuude." Benny waved his hand and muttered something as the body momentarily lit up.
"Shit."
"What?"
"We need to get to Ethan. But first…" Benny dug in his bag and produced some rope.
"You carry the weirdest shit with you, ya know that?"
"Never know when you'll need it."
…
Ethan flinched as he felt sharp teeth connect with his arm; soon, warm blood began to seep to the surface. He moved as far away as he could before the head to him. Letting out what sounded like a victory screech, it dived towards Ethan, mouth wide. Ethan closed his eyes, waiting for the assault that never came.
Opening his eyes, he found Benny wrestling with the head as it tried to bite him. He let out a weak chuckle as Rory came flying into the room and knocking the head down. He watched as the two of them held it down so Benny could duct tape its mouth closed. Once that was done, Rory kept it in a tight arm lock so it wouldn't fly.
"Benny," Ethan said as he stood up. Benny smiled briefly before his features changed to worry.
"You're covered in blood."
"I'm okay. What was that thing?"
"A Nukekubi, also known as a female demon that can detach her head at night to eat people. As long as we've got her like this, she'll be dead by sunrise unless she finds her body."
"Which she won't. We hid it pretty well." Ethan smiled tiredly as he leaned against Benny.
"Let's get you cleaned up E."
…
Once Ethan was blood free and bandaged, the three teens sat around a large crate in which they had placed the head.
"How'd you know what that was?"
"I did a reveal spell on the body."
"Looks like we'll be getting another new teacher."
"Let's just hope this one doesn't try to kill us."
…
Well, that was interesting…I think.
And the ending sucked, I know.
This one was tough to write… I hope ya'll liked it though!
Thanks for reading.
