Lemon Scented
"All right class, I'll be heading to the staff room to collect your notes. So be on your best behavior while I'm gone."
The teacher place her hands behind her back while smiling kindly towards the students.
"Yes Miss Kline."
The students smiles as they respond...the teacher then leave the classroom. And like all students, the moment the teacher leaves. The students are free to do whatever they want. Some walk around the class while other chatter away...but there is one student that slightly different from the rest.
Arthur Winchester can be seen sitting in his chair while reading a book. He prefers to spend his time improving himself when ever he can in order to surpass his more talented older sister Sarah Winchester. But despite their differences, Arthur has posses something she lack....power.
"Arthur? Yo Arthur what're ya reading?"
A young boy turn to face him hoping to chat because how bored he was.
"Hmm...oh math, I'm having trouble with one of the question but I'll eventually get it."
Arthur looks up to see his friend Mark Gale looking at him funnily.
"Man...you're a strange one. Usually we don't read books when teachers leave, then again you are prodigy in our school after all."
It wasn't a simple compliment that Mark gave...it was the truth. When Mark discovered how smart Arthur is, he felt jealous of him and wanted to avoid him...but after spending time with him he discovered that Arthur wasn't all that bad just unique.
For example, Arthur has flaws...despite being intelligent he struggle with social interaction that usually blows in his face. It doesn't help that his handsome face attracted most girls in this school so...he left a lot of broken hearts by responding indifferent to their confession.
Mark chuckles he recalled back one incident where the most popular girl in school came to confess and he walks past her while reading his book. She got mad and walked away puffing her cheeks...ah speaking of which here she comes.
"Arthur what are you reading?"
The girl cross her arm as she walks towards his table behind is a girl with short hair wearing glasses.
"Hmm...Vanessa and Heather...I'm reading math."
Heather laughs lightly and point at the book.
"Only you would read high school level math despite being in elementary Arthur."
Arthur smiles and closes his book while looking at Heather.
"So is there something you need?"
Heather smile and took out a piece of paper.
"Look there's a new karaoke place that was recently open up. They're doing some promotion event so we can go there for cheap."
Heather then play with her fingers while looking down slightly blushing.
"So...I was thinking if you like to we could go on the weekend....AHHH I don't mean just the two of us...Vanessa is going too."
"I WANT TO GO!"
Mark raise his and and jumped from his seat with pure excitement. Vanessa scowled and glare at him.
"No one asked you."
Mark then shrink and lightly chuckle.
"Hmm..this weekend huh. Sure I guess I can go but I'll ask my parents if I could go, I'll let you know tomorrow okay."
Heather and Vanessa smile brightly then quickly felt disappointment as Arthur invites Mark along.
"Thanks Arthur you're a real pal!"
Mark hugs Arthur with tears in his eyes. Heather waves goodbye and Vanessa puff her cheeks recalling back the humiliation she felt when Arthur walked past her.
"I'll definitely get you to fall for me."
Vanessa said it with a smile but Mark shiver while looking at her....soon the girls return to their seat chatting to themselves.
"Yo Arthur...I think she still pissed at you."
Arthur looking confused tried to recalled back what he did.
"I guess so...I would be mad too if someone ignores me."
Mark smile and jab his arm.
"Sooooo...you going to accept her confession man?"
Before Arthur could say anything he felt a sharp pain in his head.
*WHISPERWHISPERWHISPER*
"Arthur...you all right!?"
Arthur crouch and holds his head to bear with the pain.
"I'm fine...I'll be heading to the restroom.
Arthur got up from his seat while holding his head and left the classroom....Heather and Vanessa sees this and worries for him, they turn to face Mark only to see him shrugging as he is clueless.

-Arthur's POV-
*WhisperWhisperWhisperWhisper*
What is it?...what's wrong.
*WhisperWhisperWhisperWhisper*
*BANG BANG BANG BANG*
Arthur stops at this track to see one of the school locker in front of him opening and closing...the strangest thing is that no one is around doing it.
"What.....?"
Feeling slightly scared Arthur slowly walks back and soon the banging stop...
*Radio speaker static*
I look up at the school's speaker and quickly cover my ears as its start screeching loudly in the empty school hallway...soon a song was played.
(The Duprees - You Belong To Me)
I felt someone standing behind me.....I turn back to see a large black dog sitting at the end of the hallway looking at me with its red eyes...For some reason...I felt fear looking at it.
*WhisperWhisperWhisper*
"Arrrgh!!"
I fell to my knees as the pain became unbearable....help....someone.
I quickly stand with sheer willpower and try to get away from the dog....then the school lockers begins opening one by one as I walk....shadow hands emerges from the lockers and heading towards me....without thinking...I ran for help.
"HELP! SOMEONE HELP!
The large dog merely sat there gazing at me as I ran.
As I ran in panic I look back to see nothing behind me...but before I could stop running I slip and fell to the floor...
"Aw! that hurts."
I felt wet for some reason...I slowly look down to see myself covered in red paint...but...it has a familiar scent....I look at the floor and it was covered in it...I slowly turn my head towards a door...isn't this the supply closet.
I got up and slowly walk towards the door, I grab hold of the doorknob with my painted hand...
*Doorknob slowly being turn*
As I open the door, The school janitor fell on top of me....his face was strip of flesh....he had no eyes nor nose...
"ARRRRRRRAHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
I screamed loudly in fear hoping someone would wake me up from this nightmare.
"Arthur! OH MY GOD!"
I heard Miss Kline but I was afraid to look around me...I struggle to push the janitor's body.
"ARTHUR!"
Miss Kline push the body and pulled me out. She quickly cover my eyes...soon some of the teachers in different class walk out to check what's with all the noise.
"RETURN TO YOUR CLASS DON'T LET ANYONE OUT."
The teachers seeing the dead body slightly panic and nod quickly telling their students to stay in class.
I hug Miss Kline tightly as I cried.
"It's okay...it's okay! I'm here...lets get you away from here."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The school security quickly arrived at the scene and quickly called the police. Seeing the situation is being handle by the security. Miss Kline quickly carry me away from this horrific scene.
Miss Kline quickly enters the infirmary placing me down on top of the bed.
"Are you all right? Are you hurt?"
I was not in right state of mind as I felt lost and confused to what had happened. Miss Kline quickly check for wounds on my body seeing I'm covered in blood.
"Thank god you're not hurt Arthur."
She placed both her hands on my cheeks trying to comfort me.
"I'm...I'm fine Miss Kline...just shook up."
She smile and sat next to me..she gently pats my head...I felt the warmth in her hand.

"Arthur?"
I slowly look up with cold eyes, I then lunge at her...pushing her down on top of the bed...she tries to struggle but couldn't believe that she's being overpowered by a nine year old.
"ARTHUR! LET ME GO!"
She sees as Arthur's teeth slowly turning resembling that of a monster...
"God.....what are you?"
Tears starts to form at the corner of her eyes.
"Teacher....you smell...lemon scented ."
Arthur sticks out his long tongue then licks above her chest making its way to her neck, savoring her fear.
"Teacher...can I have you."
Miss Kline see the madness in his eyes.
"Please...don't hurt me..."
Arthur slowly opens his mouth revealing his monstrous teeth and...
