Eight Grade is Deadly

Chapter Two of Twelve

Each year after that summer was fine. I got to hang out with my girlfriend Maria and with my friends without any problems. There were also no sign of monsters or my powers, I think for sure that this time it was all a dream. It was now the last day of my eighth grade year here at North middle school, still in Nampa. During our last day of school was our yearbook signing and I was going around to my friends so they can sign my yearbook. Then while my friend Ruby was signing my book over heard the announcements

“Drake Luna please come to the office, thank you”

“Drake you’re in trouble!” My friend Markus said from behind me

“Shut up!” I laughed

I was curious heading to the office. I wonder who would want to see me. when I got to the office there was a women with black hair and a red and white poke a dotted shirt, a blue purse, and blue wrangler jeans standing there. I got up to the office counter and Mrs. Clara was working on her files

“Hi Drake.” She said laying her pile of folders on her desk.

“Hi Mrs. Clara, what’s wrong.”

“This lady wanted to see you.” She said pointing to the Poke a dotted lady.

“Why?”

“Because I have questions to ask you” the lady said in a snake like voice. She walked up and put her hand on my shoulder

“Okay.” I said moving closer to Mrs. Clara

“Do you have a room we can use?” she asked turning her head to Mrs. Clara

“Yes, you can use the library.” She said gesturing down the hallway 

“Thanks.” she said with a hiss

“You’re welcome.” Mrs. Clara had a worried look in her eye’s I turned to the lady and she started to walk, I started to follow when Mrs. Clara grabbed my arm

“Hey Drake, take this.”

She handed me a little control panel with a red button on it that said ALERT.

“What is it?” I said examining the little control panel

“If you feel threaten push this button and help will come.” She said.

“Okay, thanks?”

“You’re welcome.”

“Are you coming.” the lady hissed

“Yes.”

I caught up with her, we walked towards the library when I looked back I saw Mrs. Clara looking at me reaching towards the phone. We went into the library and sat down; it felt weird being in here with this lady.

“Nice outfit.”

I was looking down at my cloths. Why she would complement a green sweater and blue jeans.

“Thanks?” I said in a curious tone

“Drake can you tell me what happened three years ago during school as well  that summer?”

“Well….” I told her everything except the monster and powers part. She started to get tense she folded her arms and you could she her veins sticking out of her hands

“Okay.” she hissed

“What about the monsters?” she said staring into my eyes

“What monsters?”

“You know what monsters.” Her eye’s shot at me with anger

“No I don’t.”

“What happened to the Germa and the Dragon?” she got up and slammed her hands of the table making a dent

“How do you know about them?”

She started to shake, she looked up and her eyes were like a hawks. She then through the table across the room.

“Don’t you dare lie to me Drake!”

I looked toward the door and ran, but she got their in a flash and in front of my eyes the lady sprouted batwings, claws, talons, with fur all over her body. I ran to the other side of the room and jumped over a bookcase. I looked over the bookcase and she was looking around the library trying to find me.

“You can’t hide from me!”

I looked up again and she threw a blade at me but it wasn’t a blade it was a claw, how could a claw do that. I crawled over to another book shelf and when I passed the biography section something started to glow and the book slid out of it place and landed on the floor. The book opened and flipped through its pages. it stopped, and a section of the page was glowing

“Darkness can always be stopped by the one who is filled with light. But the only way darkness can be obliterated is by making people forget what has happened and then living with the truth when others will never know.”- Bridanos

“That’s it! that tells me a lot!” I panicked

The book shelf went flying across the room

“There you are”

I blinked my eyes. I thought it was the end. I opened my eyes and the lady froze in midair same with a fly that was passing by

“Oh My god, it’s happening all over again!”

I do have powers. I looked at the door and ran, when I left the room she unfroze. I heard a scream as I ran to the office

“Drake what’s wrong?” Mrs. Clara said

“We need to get the students out of here!” I said running up to the desk

“Why?” she said walking over to me

“You know that lady!”

“Yeah?”

“She’s a monster!”

I turned around and she started walking in a fast pace down the hall but in her human form.

“I’ll lead her out of here; you get all the students to the gym.” I said

“Why?”

“Just do it and call the police!”

I ran out of the building and I heard Mrs. Clara saying over the intercom.

“All Students to the gym at once!”

I stopped to look which way I should go, I looked left and right. Then I ran to the left, behind me was the lady still in her human form. I tried to freeze her again but it didn’t work.  I just made her even angrier. She started to change into her monster form and she flew after me. I ran as pass the basketball and tether ball courts. I ran to the bus area trying to get back inside the building. I knocked on the double doors. I could see the monster coming from far across the football field coming towards me

“Help let me in!” I said pounding on the doors

“Drake!” Mrs. Marshall said,

“What were you doing out side? All the students are supposed to be in the gym.”

“Look and see for yourself!”

Mrs. Marshall looked outside and saw the monster flying towards us.

“What is that!”

“That would be a Monster.”

“Let’s go warn the others.” She said pulling me in and she locked the doors

“You go warn them and I’ll lead her away!”

All the students were in the gym that was a good thing. Mrs. Marshall went to let the staff and students know what’s going on. I ran to the six-one hallway, I got up the stairs when she broke through the window and fallowed my scent into the six-one hallway, I ran down the hallway into a dead end. I turned around to go back but the monster was there.

“Don’t run from me Necropolis!” she said blocking the way out

“Necropolis? What is a Necropolis?”

“Why you are Drake.” She started to get closer to me

“Why do you want to destroy me? “

“Because you are a threat, because you are a true necropolis not a half one like the others we’ve destroyed over the years. And plus our master wants you gone!” she said punching a hole in the wall

“But why?” I said flinching at the hole in the wall

“I told you why! Now stop talking and die already!”

She jumped at me swinging her arms, trying to cut me but I kept backing up until I hit the wall. I knew it was the end for me, but before she got a chance something stopped her, like how someone stopped the Germa and the dragon. She flew back

“If you dare try to stop me. come to the gym and try to save your friend” she spread her wings out and flew away laughing. I blinked my eyes and looked over to see this man who was a little bit taller than me. He had dark skin like me, also black and brown eyes like me.

“Who are you?”

“There is no time for that. You have to stop auras!”

“Who?”

“The Batry!”

“The Monster?” I said stepping closer to him

“Yes!”

He grabbed my arm and we ran down the hallway

“It’s a dead end we have to go down the stairs.”

“No we don’t. Jump!”

“What?”

“You heard me jump!”

We jumped off the balcony and landed without a single scratch. We ran towards the gym doors and they flung open. Auras stood there with a student in her hands.

“Drake what took you so long? Well no matter you’re here now. Oh I see you brought a friend what’s his name” she said looking over at him

“My name is Daniel!” the stranger said stepping closer to auras

“You! how can you be Daniel he died over twelve years ago!” the Batry screeched

“Then why am I here still!”

“But didn’t Wilgo destroy you?”

“No!” he said laughing

“No matter, you both are going to be dead; all of you in this room will be dead!” she said facing the students smiling. you could see her fangs stretching out of her jaw. I looked at the students and they were all scared

“Drake when I tell you freeze the room.” Daniel said walking up behind me

“Ok?” which I had no idea how, it’s been a long time.

“Hey Auras! Let go of the kid and I’ll let you kill us instead!” Daniel screamed

“Deal!” she said throwing the student to the side and came flying towards us.

“Now!”

I blinked my eyes like I did when I was little and the whole room froze even the Batry.

“Drake! Say bridanos!”

“Why?”

“It will destroy the Batry and erase the memory of all the students and staff!”

“Okay… bridanos!”

A bright light came from the Batry and all of a sudden. She was gone and in its place was a beautiful white rose, Daniel walked up to the rose

“Darkness can always be stopped by the one who is filled with light. But the only way darkness can be obliterated is by making people forget what has happened and then living with the truth when others will never know.”

Daniel picked the rose up and smiled at me then a bright light came from the rose and the room unfroze and I was in my seat. I looked around the gym and Daniel and the rose were gone; I looked down and there was Mr. Wiles finishing his end of the year speech

“Good bye everyone and see you next year. And to you eighth graders good luck in high school!”
