Chapter 14: Back To School
Living with aizen's family wasn't bad, except Thomas, his cranky grandfather, keeps on bugging me. Whenever I sit down somewhere, he just yells,
"GET YOUR BUTT OFF MY SEAT!"
Even when we're both sitting down somewhere. I got tired of him. Aizen told me that he'll get use to me...eventually. When ava asked him if Linda is expecting another cub, he nods his head yes. "Wow! Really? I'm so happy for you and Angel!" ava said, smiling. "So, where's your father?" I asked. "Well...uh, he said that he's going to find more weapons for us. You see, my dad is...well used to be a construction worker. He can handle many tools! He said that he needed to go get some more weapons for us, including grandpa, but he didn't come back yet and I'm getting worried." Aizen answered. "Oh...where did he go?" I added, feeling bad for asking where his dad is. "He went to a high school before all of this happens, to fix a broken sink, and he didn't come back..." Aizen said sadly. I started to think a little, then I asked,
"Why don't you look for him?"
Aizen pointed at his grandpa, who's sleeping on the couch. I slapped my face with my hand, "Figures..." "Well, while he's asleep, you can look for him!" ava said. Aizen looked at his mother. "I don't want to leave my mom with HIM." "Don't worry, Aizen! Ian, lakey, shadow, ryan, and I can stay here and watch your mother." ava said, still smiling. "Yeah, Tank, maiko, you, and I can go to the school and find your father." I said. Aizen looked at his grandfather, walked to his mother and asked her if he can go find some food for dinner. She nodded her head, "Of course! But, you gotta take Angel." she said. Angel's ears perked up when he heard his name. "Alright, come on, guys." Aizen said, whispering. Tank, maiko, angel, Aizen, and I started to walk to the school. "So, what's this school called?" maiko asked. "Starwood High School. It's a public high school, I used to see students wear school uniforms." Aizen answered, whispering. The school wasn't far, in fact, it was near Happy Tree Town. It's a small school, not what I expected. "Come on." Aizen whispered. We went to the school doors, which was wide open, and looked around. It was dark, broken glass everywhere, portraits of teachers and principals were on the ground, torn apart. Angel hid behind tank, the large gorilla picked him up and protected him. Suddenly, I heard it, I heard the noise that made my heart stop.
*Snip!*
*Snip!*
*Snip!*
"No..."
I quickly turned around, hearing the same snipping noise from pillow's game. "What's that?" Aizen asked. Tank looked around, and started to sniff the air. Then, tank started growling. "Tank, buddy? What's wrong?" Aizen asked. Tank gave angel to maiko and he went in front of us. The large gorilla growled nonstop, knowing something or someone is there, standing behind us. We all turned around and saw him, the scissor bear. "Who are you?" maiko asked. The scissor bear didn't answer. "Guys...we have to run...now." I said, stuttering. "Why? Do you know him?" Aizen asked. "Know him?! He's the one that killed my best friend, pillow. We have to run! NOW!" I yelled, pushing Aizen and maiko. "What!? Wait!" Aizen said, turning around to face me.
"He killed my friend pillow! Tank can't fight him. Don't let the size of the scissors underestimate you." I growled. Then, tank roared loudly, charging at the scissor bear. "TANK, NO!" Aizen screamed. The scissor bear, with one blow, stabbed tank right in his right eye. I winced in pain as I watched the scissor bear rip out tank's eye. Tank roared in pain as he fell to the ground. I wasn't sure if he was dead or alive. "T-t...t...tank...no..." Aizen said, shaking his head as his eyes widen in horror. "RUN!" I screamed as the scissor bear started to walk to us. We all ran down the hall, angel wouldn't stop crying, I was really, really, frighten. We all split up by mistake, the darkness of the hallway split us up. I was alone. The only things I could hear was angel's crying, slowly fading away, and the sound of snipping scissors echoed the dark hallway. I curled up into a ball, hoping the scissor bear won't find me or my friends. But, it got louder and louder. Then, I got up, I needed to keep moving! I started to run down halls, hoping to find a room to hide in. Finally, I ran into a room, closing and locking the door. I started to hyperventilate,
"Calm down...calm down. Cain, you need to calm down!" I said to myself over and over again. I found a piece of large broken glass and decided to use it as a weapon. Suddenly, the doorknob shook, I tightly hung onto the glass and took a deep breath. "This is for pillow." I thought. Then, the door opened, and I yelled.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
I shut my eyes and tackled someone against the wall. Suddenly,
"EYAH! Cain! What the hell are you doing!?"
I quickly opened my eyes to see Aizen, with Maiko, rubbing his head as he got up. "Oh! I'm sorry! I thought you were the scissor bear!" I said, helping him up. "It's...urgh! Alright, you it hard by the way." Aizen said. Angel stopped hiding behind aizen. "Hey, angel, feeling better?" I asked. Angel slightly nodded his head. Maiko turned and froze in horror. Aizen noticed. "What's wrong, maiko?" he asked. Maiko started trembling as her hand slowly brought up and pointed. "W-w-who's...who's th-that?" she asked, stuttering. Aizen turned to where she was looking and-
*SHING!*
"GGGGGGGGGYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"
Aizen screamed in pain as scissors dug into his shoulder. Maiko screamed, grabbing angel away from the murderer. The scissor bear kicked aizen off of the blades, making him crash into a bookshelves. The books fell on him, burying him.
"AIZEN!"
I yelled. Then, I snapped. Angrily, I growled and yelled,
"YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR THAT, YOU BASTARD!"
I ran to the scissor man and he couldn't react in time and I tackled him to the window, causing it to break.
