Fire escape

by Skovko

Finn, Marlis, Damian and Asuka are going to a reuning at their old high school. Or they think they are. Once they arrive, things start to happen. Things that force Finn to come clean to Marlis about things that happened back in those days. Someone is there messing with them because of what they did. It's time to face the past and own up to what they did.

2. The chemistry lab

Damian grabbed Asuka's hand and walked out of the open door first. Finn reached for Marlis but she ignored him and followed her two friends out with Finn coming right after her.

"Suddenly an abandoned school seems creepy as fuck as the sun is setting," Damian said.
"Let's just find an open door or window and get out of here," Marlis said.
"Or call for help," Asuka said.
"That will be our last solution if anything else fails," Damian said. "There's no actual reunion so we're trespassing. Let's not get ourselves into trouble if we don't have to."

They walked down the stairs and checked every door on every floor until they made it to the main floor again.

"Everything if fucking locked!" Finn growled.
"I wonder where the idiot is hiding," Damian grabbed a door handle. "And it opened."

Damian grinned at the other three and stepped inside the chemistry lab. He hit the light switch and the room got bathed in light.

"This was my favorite subject," Damian said.
"I hated it," Asuka said.
"You hated most things, my little dove," Damian laughed. "Aw man, this brings back so many memories of failed experiments."

Damian ran to the other end of the room to look through things. He was like a child on Christmas morning. The light suddenly turned off and the room was pitch black. Marlis walked over to the light switch next to the door but the light didn't turn back on.

"Damian?" Asuka called.
"Hold on, I got a lighter," Damian said.
"Something smells weird," Marlis said.
"Found it!" Damian yelled.
"Gas!" Marlis yelled. "Don't turn on the fucking lighter!"
"Get out!" Finn screamed.

Marlis ran out of the room first. Finn grabbed Asuka and hurled her through the door before he jumped through it too. They heard an explosion and Damian screaming.

"He turned on the lighter," Marlis said. "Why the fuck did he turn on the lighter?"
"Damian!" Asuka screamed.

Finn tried to look in through the door but the room was already engulfed in flames and there were no more screams coming from Damian. He was clearly dead.

"We need to get away from the fire," Finn said.
"Why aren't the sprinklers turning on?" Marlis said.
"Piece of crap school," Finn grabbed Marlis' hand. "We need to move! Asuka, get your ass in gear! You can cry later!"

The flames moved out of the room and blocked their way to the front door.

"The fire escape!" Finn yelled.

Finn pulled Marlis over to the stairs. Asuka ran after them to get away from the flames too. They ran up the stairs to the top again. Finn and Marlis made it over to the door to the biology room when Asuka screamed behind them. They turned around and their faces went white at what they were seeing.

"No, no, no!" Asuka cried. "It can't be."
