4 Ghost

drip! drip! "h-huh...where-!! why am i tied to a chair?!" seraph woke up to a liquid dripping on his sack covered head, only to find himself tied to a chair. "he-hello? is anybody there?!" drip! the liquid continued to drip. "why does this water smell like metal?" he said, voice trembling. he was in an old room, with farming tools scattered on the floor. a corner of the roof was off, parts of it leaning down into the room. the rain was drizzling, causing a few drops of water to fall on his head.

there were two other people in the room, both boys, wearing the same uniform as seraph. he began moving his head around in an attempt to get the sack off of his head. after a few minutes of this, along with rubbing his head on his shoulder, the sack came off and dropped to the floor. "wha...what the hell is going on!" it might have been better for him if the sack remained on his head.

in the room, on his right, one of the boys was pinned to the wall with a garden fork stuck in his chest, as his blood flowed down it's handle and dripped on seraph's head. a terrified expression hung on his pale face, as his lifeless eyes looked across the room. the other one sat on the left side of the room, a large hole in his stomach, his expression twisted from the pain as he held his insides in his hands.

...

"hey sebastian, do you think sera left without me?" outside of the school gate, the fatty was sitting in his car. " it is a possibility young master, especially since school has been over for more than half an hour." sebastian said. " hmm, let's wait for a bit longer." the fatty said. "as you wish, young master." sebastian said patiently.

...

in the room.

"thi- this- yes, that's it! this has to be a bad dream! when i wake up, i will be in my uncomfortable bed! yes! just a dream! ha ha ha!" looking at the gory scene, seraph was overcome with fear. so much so, that he continuously tried to convince himself that he was dreaming. "you....a dream...ha..ha." as seraph was trying to escape reality, a weak voice was heard. "!!" hearing the voice, seraph turned his head at an alarming speed.

"you- you are not d-dead?" he shakily asked. "a dream?! hahaha! heuk!" ignoring seraph's question, the boy began laughing. "keep trying to escape reality! cough! because when that thing comes back, it will kill you too!!" the boy said with his last blood soaked breath, his head dropping forward as the life faded from his eyes. " what thing?! hey!! don't die yet!! answer me!!" seraph began yelling like a mad man, terror written on his face.

step! creak!

"!!" the sound of walking was heard which caused seraph's heart to race. looking around, there was no one in sight. only the sound of the old flooring boards rubbing together was heard as they sank down and came back up. "what the hell is happening!" he shouted as he looked on. as it got closer to him, he could faintly see a human figure. it was wearing a red dress, with long flowing black hair. it had pale, almost white skin and an almost impossibly beautiful face. it's eyes were glowing a fiery orange, with black cracks around them.

'i-i'm going to be killed!!!' as she walked closer to him, the despair he was feeling deepened as he closed his eyes. she arrived in front of him and stopped. "h-huh?" he felt that it was strange that it didn't kill him, opening his eyes to take a look. but once again, he would have been better off keeping them shut. "gigigi!" just as he opened his eyes, her mouth grew as she laughed at his despair, showing her horrifying teeth. her smooth and delicate looking hands became large and grotesque as she reached out to touch seraph's chest, apparently satisfied with the amount of fear and despair in his eyes.

click!

just as she was about to stab her hand into his chest, the sound of the door being opened was heard. "wh- what....." an old groundsman walked into the room, falling ass first onto the ground in shock at the sight of the room. "he-hey! untie me!" realizing that she was gone, seraph hurriedly called out to the man. "y-you...wha-what.." the old man was so shocked that he couldn't process what seraph said. "i don't know! just hurry and untie me!!" the old man unsteadily got up and walked toward him in an attempt untie him.

splat!

"huh...." a warm liquid splashed on seraph's face. as he looked up, the face that had finally regained some hope once again twisted in despair. loosing all hope, seraph's lifeless eyes stayed open as he waited for his death. "gigigi!" it laughed depravedly as it stabbed out with it's hand once again, going directly for his heart this time.

pfft!

the sound of someone being stabbed rang out. "...ah" a hand appeared in it's chest, making sizzling sounds. "ghaaaa!!" it shrieked as flames appeared from the hole in it's chest, bursting into bright orange flames. poof! after burning for a few seconds, it exploded into ashes. "mr. ze...." he breathed in some of the ashes and passed out. "one of my students? well whatever, normal people can't survive breathing in the ashes of ghosts." after saying this, he walked out of the old room.

...

in a dark place, a boy was lying on a cold stone floor. "ughh....whe-where am i..." waking up, seraph rubbed his eyes. "ahh!" coming to his senses, seraph recalled what was happening before he passed out. bang! "quiet!" the sound of metal being hit brought him back to reality. "wha...where am i!?" looking around, he found himself in a stone room. thick metal bars locking him in, no light to be seen. "i said to shut up! do you want me to come in there and kick your ass?!" another shout was heard as the guard outside hit the rails once again, angrily looking down at seraph.

"w-wha-" he was interrupted by the sound of heavy steps. " has he woken up yet?" a deep and stern voice reverberated throughout the prison cells. "yes, warden!" the guard replied respectfully. "open it." the warden ordered. "yes sir!" the guard took a large ring of keys from his waist and opened the cell gate. as the warden walked into the cell, seraph felt a large pressure just from looking at him. the warden was muscular, with eyes as sharp as knifes. he was wearing a military uniform without any ornaments.

"why did you kill two students and one of the groundsmen from your school?" the warden suddenly asked. "wha-" bang! before seraph could respond he was punched in the face and sent crashing into the stone wall. " let me make this clear. you will be executed regardless of your reason, but the amount of pain you feel before you die will be the result of your answer." he said as he looked down at seraph's shocked face.
