Deadly Axe

 I opened my eyes and saw a dark figure holding an axe, his face was covered with blood, and they were bruises all over his body. I crawled backward in fear, waiting for someone to rescue me from the monster in front of me, no one showed up, instead, there was dead silence in the classroom. The monster continue approaching me, I picked myself off the ground and ran out of the classroom shutting the door against him, in fear I ran to my sister's classroom hoping to see her there but there was no single soul there, I cried silently asking myself how I got here, I locked myself in the cupboard behind where the teacher stood to teach, I prayed to God not to let the monster catch me... After hours of hiding in the cupboard, the door of the cupboard suddenly opened, what I could see next was the monster dragging me out of the cupboard, he held his axe up high trying to chop my head off with it when I screamed out loud running away from him...

I ran away from the school building without destination, on getting outside there were a lot of dead people outside, which were killed by the monster, among them is my classmate and my teacher, I wept bitterly searching for every dead body if my sister was among them, but she was nowhere to be found. I was confused and shattered, not knowing where to run to or who to call for help, everywhere was dark and quiet, and there was no way I could get home since my house is way far from the school, I ran back to the school hoping to see a bus or a car, I ran straight to the park luckily for me I saw my school bus there...

I tried opening the bus, the bus couldn't open neither can I see anything from within, everywhere was covered in total darkness, I cried heavily while trying to open the bus in fear, for I knew the monster is in the school premises and can get me anytime, my fear was with no limit as the monster appeared from nowhere with his axe, at that moment I was dead-alive, my breathing has heighten and they was no way out for me, just when he tried to hit me with his axe, I bend down immediately and unfortunately his axe hit the glass of the bus which lead to more screaming from the people inside, they were hundreds of student hiding inside the bus among them was my sister, when the monster heard the scream he continue hitting the bus with his axe, all the student in the bus were in panic mood, they opened the door of the bus and ran out immediately, among the student that came out of the bus I witness the monster killing over twenty student, I held my sister's hand the moment i saw her and we all ran away from the scene, many student ran to a different location, some ran into the classroom while others ran into the wood. My sister and I alongside ten other students ran into my school lab, we shut the door behind us and tried as possible to remain silent waiting for God Almighty to intervene. Most of the students could not stop crying, I tried convincing them to be silent or we are all going to die there. We stayed quiet in the lab holding each other hands and praying in silence, without knowing when each of us passed out. When I opened my eyes it was already morning, I looked around and saw that every other student is still asleep, I pinch my sister on her arm gently to wake her up, but she screamed in a panic thinking it was the monster, her scream woke the other student up, all together we got up praying that my sister screams don't attract the monster to us, we rushed to the window and opened the curtain slightly and saw a lot of dead bodies outside, we searched around with our eyes and saw no monster neither did we see any living soul, nor the police, nor our parents. We look all over the lab to see if we can find any cell phones, but we didn't see any, with no hope we all stayed in the lab waiting for help, day turn into night, and night turned into day but there was no help from anywhere and we were all famished. We decided to leave the lab and try to get home. Indeed, we all came out of the lab and there was no monster, we quickly ran out of the school premises and started running towards our home. Since the school is located in a deserted area and is far away from our homes it was hard for us to get home on time, we walked endlessly and two students were already exhausted, they lie on the ground and started crying that they can't continue anymore. Based on the number of students we have lost, I didn't want us to lose anyone again, so we support the weak ones with our hands and keep moving forward. Not long after it was already dark and our fear has heightened because we are still in a deserted area where there is no single living soul, we continue walking in the dark soon we got into the wood, everyone was afraid, while walking in the wood with so much fear everyone was praying, I was not excluded, just as every single person's heart is beating fast so is mine. We decided to stop at some point and count ourselves if we were complete, upon counting ourselves we were just eleven instead of twelve, we searched around and saw that one of us is dead, her head has been chopped off, we all screamed and ran in a different direction. I looked around but could not find my sister around me, I walked calling her name fearfully, I knelt in front of a tree and wept bitterly, my heart almost left my chest when I felt a hand touching, I looked up in fear and saw one of the student, together we walked looking for the rest of us, but we couldn't find any not even my sister, I fell down on my kneels and cried bitterly, as her older sister I couldn't even take care of her, while the guy with me was trying to lift me up from the ground, the monster appeared from nowhere and chopped his head off, it was just me left, I crawled backward crying waiting for God to save me, I could see his axe already coming towards my head, just before he could hit me with his axe, my alarm woke me up, in panicked I stood looking around my room to confirm that it was all a terrible dream, while crying and thanking God that everything was never real, my sister bashed into my room, without hesitation, I hugged her tightly, we was surprised why I would hugged her like that because I don't always do that, I sit her down and tell her the whole dream, I promised her that even though i was not able to protect her in my dream, that I would never let any arm come to her in reality, she smiled broadly and hugged me warmly. It was on Sunday, I prepared myself and left with my sister to the sitting room, our parents were already waiting for us, I narrated the dream to my dad, and he prayed for my sister and me, and we all left for church.
