Ty and myself were bunking math and doing some graffiti in the teacher’s bathrooms when we heard the screaming. A terrible, petrified howl of pure terror turned into a literal howl, which sounded like a dog. We looked at each other for a second, and we both knew we had to see what was going on.
We rushed out of the bathroom to find utter and absolute chaos reigning in the nearest class. We literally could not comprehend what we saw. A dark, robed figure stood at the front in the nearest classroom while a Jack Russell chased about twenty rats around the classroom, while roughly ten students stood at the back of the class, frozen in terror. To say that we were perplexed was an understatement.
We watched this mysterious figure crudely gesture with animated movements, and the rest of the students disappeared. Look, whispered Ty. There're more rats! I looked on incredulously, and realized this, thing, had turned the students into animals. The figure turned towards us, and walked out the classroom. Ty fled, but I couldn’t move. The figure grinned evilly and said, I can feel the darkness in you, boy. Come with me. I had no option but to follow this dark sorcerer, for that is what he was.
By now, the whole school was in utter disarray, with students and teachers alike running in all directions screaming blue murder. The sorcerer walked calmly, turning what seemed random individuals into various lethal creatures, all of which proceeded to guard the exits of the school building. We were trapped.
Most students were hiding in the school hall, and that’s where the sorcerer led me.
