User blog:Safnar/Pg 2 Going to school

The streets where chaos. All over the place where failed attempts of escape. I only caught glimpses of people struggling with the monsters. I noted no body’s but, there did seem to be far less people then there should have been. I took a right to fast and almost flipped the car. I had to go, if I took too long any number of things could corrupt my little brother. He was only 11 and as strong and clever as he was, he wouldn’t be able to handle a monster. I wasn’t sure I could, what if I met a monster that couldn’t be downed with a bullet?

An Amazoness stepped out into the middle of the road raising her weapon high. I gunned the engine gambling everything. I didn’t understand what happened exactly or why I lucked out again. Maybe she thought she could take the impact of the car? Maybe she mistimed her swing, but the grill of my car smashed into her and I could hear her ribs give. I could see her sword and body fly over the top of the car and I felt the vehicle jolt as it met the sudden resistance, but I kept going. My second monster kill now lays in the street.

My brothers school was ahead, an old beaten looking school with many modern updates to the ancient infrastructure. Unlike the rest of the world whitch was full of chaos and an abundance of activity the school was still and silent. It made my skin crawl as I pulled into the parking lot not bothering to properly park, with my rifle primed and ready I ran into the schools court yard.

Not a single soul in sight. Not a single sound besides the distant sounds of chaos from the surrounding Neighborhood. I ran into building B, my brothers. The doors where unlocked which meant the power was out. My brother’s school is normally locked down in even minor events so the power had to have been shut down before someone could lock it down. I ran through the deserted halls seeing better in the dark than in the bright sunlight, a talent I regularly exploited.

My blood went cold as I passed room after empty room. Then I came across a trap. It was the glint that told me to stop. But stopping at running speed isn’t quite possible. Instead I kicked my feet out from under me and I slid under the Arachne web. She must have liked the dark cave like hall. Luckily it looked like just the one web and the Arachne who had spun it was nowere to be seen. I got up and took the last turn to my brother’s class.

I almost broke down when I found the class full of scared students. Then I saw the Mu-onna Sitting in the center of the crowd of frightened six graders. The faceless monster was facing in my direction silently. She had clearly claimed the kids in the room as hers. I had my rifle on her. This was it, there was no lawn mower to use, no speeding car to ram her. I was going to find out if I could handle the monster.

“I’ve come for my brother.” I said calmly. She did nothing. “Max!” I shouted. He had to be here, if he wasn’t here I would never find him. Then slowly my brother stepped out from behind the Mu-onna. My brother had brown unruly hair like mine, wide blue eyes and over large front teeth. His manner was calm and neutral which meant he was controlling himself, something his ADHD almost prohibited. Something was wrong. It was too much, the whole world seemed to be in a haze with everything moving to fast and there wasn’t much detail. My ADD making me skip and miss things, But I had worked around it before. I had a system.
