It was seven
minutes after midnight; the corridor was dark as the whole school. The dark
corridors, being lit-up by children lanterns, look like sinister. Children left
open porter’s office door to be used as their access and escape route. Unfortunately, they were at the
other side of the school. Alex dragged his two friends to this clandestine
adventure. Their reason to be there had to do with murmurs about a ghost in the
school. A teacher found dead in a classroom at the beginning of course, was the
origin of this story. The imagination of the students did the rest.
Robert and John
were unable to refuse this crazy adventure without being in evidence. When one
is 12 years old, the pride is very important to the group. But the pride was
about to be engulfed by fear flanking each step introducing them in the bowels
of the dark center. Several sounds as high and clear as mysterious lead them to
this area of college. They were ready to leave behind
as had promise to keep silent.
A new noise called
their attention towards central yard’s windows. No one lit-up as full moon was
the best light source. In the center of the yard they saw what seem to be an 8
years old girl. She was dressed with a white suit, as white as her skin contrasting
her black long hair almost reaching the floor level.
Her arms so longs
reaching her knees. It also called their attention a small body being dragged
by one of her long arms. It was a 4 to 5 years old child. An inert body moving
along the rhythmic pulls coming from the mysterious shape walking along.
Robert’s lantern
falls down. She suddenly turned. Illuminated by the moon, her eyes shine
showing an iris bigger than any other human eye. The children bow, but fear
make them breathing so hard that almost denounced their presence. They tried to
stop breathing and refine hearing. The footsteps dragging the body went towards
them slowly and unmistakable.
John started to run
as never did before. But was unable to leave behind his friends. Robert even
overtake him. They toured the school without looking back and got out though the
door.
John and Robert
didn’t want even to talk about. Alex told them his intention to come back again
next night. They never returned to see Alex. Teachers told them that his family
had moved. Both friends were silent, as they had agreed. But for the rest of
the course, they did not stop looking at their backs.
