Chapter IV: The Punishment
*Natsu's POV*
Before going home, I had to visit the principal's office. Though his office wasn't locked, he wasn't there. As I entered the room, it isn't quite scary, as described by some of my classmates. Let's just say that I got used to the place due to my numerous visits here. The place was bright.
"The principal left the room without turning off the lights? How responsible." I said sarcastically, with a smirk.
The floor had a crimson red design, while the walls and ceiling had a mocha brown design. At the right side of the room, there were three, tall filing cabinets, and a plant. The cabinets hold all the information about every student. While at the left side of the room, book shelves were hung on the wall, while underneath it all was a collection of gold trophies. The trophies symbolize how our school won first place in every Quiz Bees, and Sport Competitions, worldwide. He had four, big book shelves on the wall. Each shelf had at least 25 books. As I slowly walk towards the shelves, the books weren't really stories. They were Dictionaries, Thesauruses, Encyclopedias, and manuals in Disciplining a Student.
"Manuals in Disciplining a Student? Why does the principal need such a book, all 25 volumes of it?" I started wondering. "Hmm.. Maybe, there's something here that can help me find answers."
At the end of the room was the principal's table. There were four guest chairs, and a brown desk. On top of the desk was a laptop. As I checked the laptop, it displays all the High School Building rooms, excluding the classrooms. It had vision on the Computer Lab, Science Lab, Main Hall, Library, and more. Before I got the chance to take a closer look at the laptop, I heard a voice approaching the room. I started to panic, wondering where I could hide. Luckily, there was a closet beside the desk. I hurriedly hid there. It was a closet filled with coats, and jacket.
"Why would the principal have such clothing? This is an office, not some kind of bedroom!" I thought to myself. As I was hiding, I heard someone entered the room. "The principal perhaps?"
I slightly opened the closet door to see who it was. Yup, my hunch was right. It was the principal, and he seems to be talking to someone over the phone.
"Yeah, yeah. I got things under control." he said. "The girl? She's sleeping with the fishes, haha, and don't worry, the boy has no clue yet~~ I'll make sure he'll never get the chance to get the book." he continued. "Oh, and don't worry, I haven't ran into those feeble brats yet. But if I do, they won't stand a chance against me. hahaha." he laughed wickedly. "Oh, and one more thing, all the teachers have been sent home, so I got to kill another student! How's that?! HAHAHA." after that, he ended his call.
"W-who is he talking to? Who's the boy? What book? feeble brats? " such questions began to fill my mind, but the question that got me worried was--- "Who did the principal killed?"
He sat on his chair, and started to type in his laptop.
"Oh.. I almost forgot.." He said. From his pocket, he took out a black beanie with some red paint on it. "Better not let this stain my pants." he murmured.
As I took a closer look at the beanie.. It reminded me of Jason. Jason was wearing the same beanie, but without the red paint.. wait, RED PAINT?!
Then it hit me. The principal said he got to kill another student... Then he has a black beanie with red paint... Jason was wearing a beanie awhile ago....
"The Principal killed Jason?!" I thought to myself.
All of a sudden, I felt nothing but rage and fury. My blood feels like boiling, as I balled my fists. I wanted to stay calm, but I just can't help myself. I wanted to leave the closet and confront him, head on, but before I got the chance to do it, his phone rang. The principal saw who was calling him, then he looked nervous. Even so, he answered it.
"He-hello?" He said with a shaky voice.
"No sir, no one else is in the school besides me.." He said.
"Y-Yes sir! I am sure of it!" He said, acting all confident in himself.
"Hello sir? Hello?!" He asked confused.
Based on how the Principal spoke on the phone, he must have been following someone's orders, but unfortunately, the person on the other side of the phone hung up.
"Drats!" He said as he threw his phone at the ground.
"Someone is still here?! How could this be?! I instructed all of them, both teachers and students, to go home early! Whoever is still here, won't leave the building alive!" His facial expression was, without a doubt, angry.
He opened one of his desk drawers, then pulled out a gun. It wasn't a gun I'm familiar with. The gun was in the shade of green, but darker. It looks like an USP.45 but it's size was as big as a hand pistol. From a far, it kinda looks like a real gun, but something about that gun made me shiver. I'm a fan of guns, but that gun was different. I sensed something off about it, but I can't really explain what it is. From the drawer, he also took out some bullets. As I tried to lean on the closet door to get a good view of the bullets, the door made some creaking sound. The principal heard it, and hurriedly placed the bullets in his gun and started to stand up, facing the closet I'm in. Slowly, he started walking towards me.
"What should I do? Should I pounce at him when the doors open? Should I punch him, then run towards the exit?" Though these were the things that flooded my mind, I knew that as long as he has his gun, I'll get killed no matter how far nor fast I'd run. Then I remembered that this man killed Jason. I just can't let this guy walk freely. I started to clench my teeth, balled my fists, and prepared to fight.Before taking another step towards my direction, The Principal looked at his laptop.
"NO! No,no, NO!!" He said angrily. Without having to look at the closet, he dashed out of the room, slamming the door.
I went out of the closet then headed to the laptop.
"What did he saw that made him rush out?" I asked to myself while looking at the security cameras. Then I noticed some movements in Camera #3: The Library. As I tried to rewind the video, I saw three students, lurking behind the bookshelves. My eyes grew large, and my jaw dropped.
"The Principal is after those students.. And with a gun on his hand, I know this won't end good! I need to stop him, before he takes the lives of more innocent people!" I said to myself.
