Chapter 11

"Attention everyone!" Sir Miller clapped his hands making us look at him.
I don't know what's going on but we are told to gather here at the podium instead of having our first class in the morning.
"Why is your face like that? Didn't you slept last night?" Snow asked me looking at my face frowning.
I yawned. "What about my face? I slept last night but a little late. 2am? 3am I think? I don't know," I said and yawned again for the second time.
"Goodness," Snow said shaking her head in disbelief. "If we were to be sent in mission today, you will be doomed my friend tsk tsk."
Quickly, I blinked and look at Snow wide eyed.
"Mission? What mission?"
She laughed at my reaction. "There's no mission. What I'm saying is if we were to have a mission this day, you'll be doomed."
I scoffed at her and rolled my eyes. I am sleepy so if there's really a mission, I'm done.
"Today marks your first day of class and before anything else, I wanted to congratulate everyone for making it here," Sir Miller said with so much happiness.
I sighed. Goodness I would not be here if Mother didn't told me to come here. Grr.
"Even if it's your Mother who let you study here, I am still glad you are here with us," he said and look at my direction making me frozen on my spot.
"Oh my god," I mumbled apologetically smiling at Sir Miller who gave me a narrowed look.
That's scary. I swear. How did he knew what I was thinking? Gosh. Is he a mind reader? I should block him then from reading my mind.
"And as part of the academy's tradition, you'll have the whole day to take a rest and prepare for your first class tomorrow," Sir Miller continued to announce making me jump in joy.
Woah I really love this academy one hundred percent! A whole day of rest in the first day of class? Girl, that's chef kiss!
"So will you go and sleep or you'll join me? Let's go and take a tour around." Snow asked but quickly chuckled and nod at me.
"Okay. You go take a rest. If you wanted to follow, I'll be at the city." She said and I nodded.
I went back immediately in our room and threw myself at the bed.
"Now this is happiness," I mumbled embracing my pillow.
And I was really tired because I fell asleep as soon as I close my eyes and when I woke up, it's already dark. I fell asleep the whole day that I can't believe it myself.
"Snow?" I called but I got no reply. She's no where to be found, not in the kitchen and not in the bathroom.
"Where did she go?" I mumbled.
I changed clothes and decided to go out to find her. I don't think she is still in the city. It's already dark.
But strangely, the surrounding is very silent and only my footsteps that I could hear as I walk pass through the hallway. I could see the light is switched on in every room but I can't hear any noise. Is everyone already asleep? It's only 6pm. And normally at this time, you could hear everyone chatting inside their rooms but tonight, it's dead silent.
"That's weird," I commented.
I continued walking and begin to feel uneasy when even the guard who usually stays outside our rooms is not there.
Where did everyone go?
I walked down at the right hallway to go and see Sir Miller. He should be in his office.
Seriously, where is everyone? Why did Snow forgot to wake me up? She-- I stopped on my tracks when I suddenly heard a strange noise somewhere.
I look behind me but the hallway is empty.
"What's that?" I frowned and continued to walk but the strange noise rang through my ears again, louder this time.
I started to feel uneasy halting my steps and soon I started to run. I'm getting scared now.
I look behind me while on the run and how I wish I didn't because I almost stumble seeing a huge monster-like creature running after me.
"TEACHER! SIR MILLER!!" I shouted while knocking at his office door violently not caring if I'll break it but I got no reply.
"Sh*t.." I screamed and decided to get out of the building. Sir Miller is definitely not here. He should've opened the door if he is inside.
The huge monster is already coming after me that I quickly summon a barrier to prevent it from catching up with me while I run for my life.
"Goodness what are those creatures?" I mumbled while trying to calm myself as I exit the building.
Is it why no one's around? Did they perhaps.. no it can't be. I shook my head and stopped on my tracks.
I am running out of breath and my legs started to shake because of fear preventing me from going any further. No one's around, I am all alone at the ground outside our building and all I hear is the continues unpleasant growl and screeches. My heart is beating rapidly, beads of sweat started to fall off my face. I clutch my hands together as I blew air into it to calm myself.
Is this the end of me?
Sure I do know how to use my magic but there's so much of them. I am already circled with not just one but five of that monster-like creature in a span of minutes.
I gulped, gathering all the remaining strength in me and summoned a large vine wrapped with thick thorns and attacked those monsters and with all the energy that left in me, I exerted more pressure and I was able to take down two.
I look around to see if there's stone that I can control but found none as I am in the cemented ground outside our building. I bit my lips in pressure. I wouldn't die tonight. No way!
I huffed ready to summon another attack as I could only rely into it for now but I didn't even summoned when one of that monster jumped into me.
"AHH.." I screamed when it's claws struck my arms and my legs. I groaned, biting my lips in pain.
It continuesly hit me that all I could do is cover myself from the attack.
"D*NM STOP!!!" A large vine spread through the ground and wrapped the monster until all I could hear is it's loud growl before it fade away.
I heaved a deep sigh as I feel a warm liquid flowing from my face and at my arms probably my blood. My body screams pain but my mind tells me otherwise. I needed to fight. I needed to live.
I desperately tried to stand up but my feet betrayed me. I slumped into the ground and I gasp loudly when my already wounded knee hit the cold ground. My vision started to blurry but I saw several monsters coming at my direction.
And knowing that I couldn't fight back anymore, I close my eyes as tears fall freely from my eyes.
"Please..help..me.."
