The moment he pulled out the knife, Nyah understood why she was scared. It gleamed in the dull light of the school, and it made her breath catch. Bastian said something that escaped Nyah's memory as she struggled to speak, and yet no words came out of her mouth. he shoved her against a wall and for a moment, she marvelled at his strength. Then the fear at what he would do to her set in. Her thoughts were jumbled, yet one thing snaked its way to the front.
Run.
Nyah dashed to the left and started down the long school hallway. She tried every door she passed and each one was locked. She needed something to protect herself. A pencil would even do. But as she ran she realized that nobody was following her. Though, down the hallway, she could hear hushed laughing coming from Bastian.
As she neared the end of the hall, she sighed in relief as the second to last door swung open. She slipped inside, hoping to find a window open or something. Then she heard a cough. Through her pounding heart and fuzzy thoughts, she managed to slow her breath for a moment, then hold it. Once she did, she heard more breathing, which, for a moment, confused her. Until she realized sith a shock that there were more people in the room, and she began to shake violently.
"You've taken awhile, dear," a male's voice said amid the darkness. No lights flickered in the room, and Nyah felt her heart drop at the sound of the hidden man's voice.
