Chapter 13

RYN

I found myself running through the hallway again, barely able to see but fully aware of the beast behind me. I got to the boiler room and turned the k***b but this time, I found it locked, Panic seized me as I tried it several times but it wouldn't budge. Turning around, I found the beast standing over me with a raised claw, ready to strike! I inhaled sharply as 1 jerked awake in bed, barely able to hear my thoughts over my racing heart. When I realized that I was actually in the boiler room, safe and warm. I sighed in relief. Grabbing my wristwatch, I checked the time and my heart jumped again. "S****t!"

Peeking into the hallway, I looked around and then noticed that the floors had been mopped. That meant that the cleaners were around. Taking a deep breath, I stepped into the hallway and tried to act normally. Luckily for me, the cleaners I encountered were working in the classrooms so it was easy for me to dodge them and go on my way.

I turned a corner, about to go for the boys locker room but just I was about a few feet away, someone else turned a corner opposite me. He was dirty blonde, about medium height with an athletic build and seemed to be in his late thirties. I recognized him as the assistant coach and immediately froze. Thankfully, he hadn't seen me...

Coach Dutton was watching something on his phone and had ear pods in place. So I had seconds to move out of sight or get discovered. Quickly, I dashed for the locker room and in that moment, the assistant coach seemed like the beast I dreamt about. With a racing heart. I hoped the locker room was open. invas
