The room was the exact same except there were seats that people were sitting in. And there were children of at least thirteen years old in the room but no younger than that. Maybe there was an age limit for this.
Sofie and I sat at a table while we talked. "So what school do you go to then?" I asked her. "Well I go to an all girls high school which was very hard when I first joined, I mean they were all snakes" She answered.
-"Are they that bad?" I asked. "Oh absolutely" She followed her sentence with a smile. We kept talking until a woman hushed the whole room as she entered. She looked around thirty or so with black hair and brown eyes.
-"Listen all of you" The whole room focused on her. "Now none of you know the reason why you are here today but I will advise you to listen carefully to the following rules" A group of guards appeared behind her.
I was very confused by what she meant by rules. I thought this was some kind of reunion that our parents had to attend. "In approximately an hour you will hear some type of noise, the door will be locked so there will be no escape and there will be guards here just in case" She walked around the room talking loudly.
I did not sign up for this. I thought this was going to be a peaceful afternoon. Obviously I was wrong in many ways.
-"Under any circumstances you are not permitted to leave this room or scream for help because I will tell you now that no one will hear you" She continued saying. Wow this woman really was scary.
-"When these guards inform you about the situation you will all make no noise whatsoever and move to this side of the room" She said pointing to the opposite side where we were. "You may all continue with your day" She walked away.
-"What the hell is that all about?" Sofie turned to me "I have no idea" I said shocked. "Well we know shits going to happen" Sofie took a drink out of her glass. "What do you think she meant by noise?" I asked.
-"Don't know but I do know that my parents told me to stay calm on our way here" Sofie responded to my question in a way that helped me a lot more than she thought. "My parents told me the exact same thing" I said taking a sip out of my cup.
Me and Sofie kept on talking and I got to know her better and I even got her phone number to text her later. When we were talking about our classes we all heard a gunshot in the other room, everyone's head turned to the door.
-"Everyone to the other side of the wall!" One of the guards shouted and with no hesitation, everyone went there. Children of ages from thirteen to seventeen were all together in one wall standing and some sitting down.
Silence filled the room while we heard more gunshots from outside. Children started crying in silence trying to hold their tears and I even ended up comforting a fourteen year old girl who was shaking every time a noise was heard.
I couldn't blame her though I mean we were in a real actual lockdown with probable dead people outside and my mind suddenly became clear... What if my parents were one of them?
I was getting scared at that point. More of us started crying including Sofie who was starting to tear up. Almost everyone was already sitting down, including me who was hugging this little girl who was scared. I had her on one side and Sofie on the other of myself hugging both of them.
We had already spent about three minutes when the gunshots stopped. We heard nothing. The guards were curious themselves like they didn't expect this to happen. One of them went outside and opened the door slightly to see if there was someone still there.
-"You can all stand now, it is all good" They announced, at that call everyone stood up, some still shaking and some still crying. My arm was around Sofies shoulder as both her hands were around my waist.
On my right side I had the little girl still shaking next to me with my arm around her shoulder as well. We went near the door and the first thing I saw terrified me nonetheless.
Blood smeerethed through the clean white walls as well as the glass floor which was now cracked. Dead bodies laid but no one said a word meaning it could have possibly been no one's parents. "Stand back" We all turned around as a familiar voice spoke.
