3 Chapter 2. Acceptance, Denial, Anger

As we saw all the darkness around us the students started to riot, the teachers tried to keep the buses in order and prevent the students from getting off the bus.

For now I just kept looking out the windows trying to find anything other than this darkness.

As I looked outside the students seemed to calm down which didn't last long until another scream louder than Antonia's got hollowed out looking at what was going on inside the bus and I could see that people were crowding in front looking at what should be the driver's seat.

I was quite far behind so I couldn't see very well what was going on.

We knew what was going on when one of the teachers shouted loudly to go to the back on the first attempt but it only made the students more anxious, but when the voice got louder the students in front moved back and I don't know if it was the right time, but I ended up asking aloud what was going on, I received my answer from a student in front.

"The bus driver is dead."

You could say that as far as a pin could be heard after such a statement said that it made those in front more tense and those in back more nervous.

"How did he die?"

"And if he was killed"

"The killer could be among us."

The more they talked the more tense things became, the order the teachers had won.

As a flame quickly grew the discussion and the teachers' attempt to calm everything down became counterproductive when a student turned against the teachers.

"And if it was the teachers"

I didn't recognise the voice, but everything got much more complicated as students tried to get away from the teachers, and they tried to calm things down by making people nervous.

While this was happening I checked if this was happening on the other buses and I was surprised in my mind that it was something similar, but at the same time not, the bus in front was very quiet but each student was curled up in a ball and they were shaking, on the bus behind it was the opposite, people were sitting on their seats and everything was quiet you could see with the naked eye that people were talking quietly, rationally.

Something was wrong.

In the front bus nobody was talking to each other in the back bus, everything was calm and in this one...

"If you come any closer I swear I'll kill you psychopath this was your plan right? Bring a group of children to an unknown place and then kill them.

"He's got a knife."

Each time this situation was getting worse on one side everyone was looking as if they were going to kill him and they were getting nervous everyone was getting hysterical and it was getting worse if I had to give a better word is that these people were full of anger, from this anger comes hysteria and I myself did not know what I was doing, I was standing by my window and pushing each person who came close.

But if this was the reality someone brought us here to kill us it made more and more sense they just wanted to kill us, they, I didn't know who they were must be a group maybe this is...

Calm down!

No, I was sure they wanted to kill me these bad guys wanted to take me away from my family.

But what if I killed them first?

It made more and more sense in my head that if I killed them first they wouldn't kill me, that maybe Alejandro was bothering me all the time, he was probably watching me, but he doesn't know that, I realized that he must be sure that he fooled me, he'll know that he's not messing with me, I'm going to kill him first.

"He is sinking"

When that person said that I looked out the window again and saw how the wheels were sinking deeper and deeper into this darkness, and all the darkness began to make sense to me was an all black sea like tar.

I understood that.

They weren't planning to kill me, they were planning to drown me.

They weren't planning to kill me with their own hands, the bastards wanted something else to do their job.

The tragic accident of a bus full of students sinking and not even supposed to have water where we are going or where we were, that's why they killed the driver.

I won't let them kill me.

Looking up, I saw a small red hammer in a glass box that was out of some windows nearby.

Usually in buses there are small hammers in case of emergency to break a window in case of danger.

I only acted by pushing each person around me to grab that hammer and quickly ripped it out of its box and slammed it against the window.

CRAK!

"¡ PLANS TO ESCAPE!"

"¡ IS THE KILLER!"

"¡ IS GOING TO LET US DROWN, AGAINST THE !"

I was not going to let myself be killed by these people, jumping quickly out of the window and moving my arms.

This cold thing welcomed me like water, and I could see the bus better, it was sinking quickly about three people were still looking at me.

They must be the killers, they must be planning how to kill me so that I don't escape, while the people were fighting inside the bus I just watched them, as the bus was sinking more windows were broken and some people jumped out and others were thrown out.

But I came back to myself and quickly realized that I should escape I should move, before I left I smiled one last time at the bus mocking these people I was going to escape and then I... I...

My smile quickly disappeared when I noticed something, I could not move, my legs did not respond, I was sinking, I screamed, along with my screams the other people also screamed.

"HELP, PLEASE JUST HELP ME, I DON'T WANT TO DIE"

"PLEASE I HAVE A FAMILY"

"GOD PLEASE PROMISE ANYTHING JUST SAVE ME"

As I was slowly sinking for the last time I looked at the other two buses.

The bus in front of me no one moved, no one did anything, each person on that bus was just standing still as the water came in.

The bus in the back all the people were working as a team and helping each other.

Those people are crazy

I didn't think about anything just seeing them one last time until I was completely covered by this.

And I only saw darkness.

Covering me, drowning me, mowing me, suffocating me.

Not being able to breathe, not being able to move, not being able to do anything.

That's when something appeared.
