“Who was that guy?” I said as I ran up to Kurt in the hallway. It was the end of the day, that part where Kurt and I would finally be free to spend our time as we wanted.
“I dunno, Em. His name sound familiar.” He shrugged.
“So you think you know him?”
“Indeed.” He smiled at me, eyes flashing, “Maybe he was some demon or something. You know, sent to haunt the hallways of Laiuna.”
“Shut up, Mac!” I whispered, looking around to see if anyone had heard. I had only seen that strange boy, Etho, twice the entire day. He had disappeared at lunch, only to appear in my math class. He had sat right behind me and it had felt as if his eyes had drilled holes in my back. Rubbing my neck, I remembered the sensation and shivered. “Maybe he is a demon. He wouldn’t stop staring at me in math.”
“I noticed.” Mac said malice in his voice. I was a little shocked by his tone. “Hey,” he said, changing back to his usual self, “why don’t we head home now.”
“Sure.”
We walked over to the front gate of the school and turned to the left when we neared it. Mac and I hated being scanned by the security guard at the gate, so we always climbed over the fence. I had always noted to wear shorts under my skirt for school.
“Here, I’ll give you a boost.” Mac put his hand close to the ground and I place my right boot on it. He lifted me up over the iron bars and I jumped onto the other side. Climbing up after me, he paused at the top, staring out at the old oak tree.
“Mac-“ I began but he silenced me with a wave of his hand. Jumping down he grabbed my wrist and began to run, pulling me along with him. “Mac what ar-“
“Shut up! Shut up and be quiet if you want to live!” Puzzled and slightly hurt by his rough words, I silently ran along next to him.
We didn’t stop running for a good ten minutes, so I was about to be sick when he slowed down and said “Now I think we’re safe.”
“Safe… from what?” I managed to get out between gasps.
“Safe from that Etho guy. He had a bow pointed at my from that oak tree.” Astonished, I stared at Mac, waiting for him to explain, “I thought I had recognized him before. I knew I had! He’s been sneaking around, following me for half my life! I think I met him at the orphanage. He was badly burned around his face, mutilated actually. And now he’s out to kill me or something. Why would he try to kill me!”
Kurt shoved his head in his hands and began pounding them against a tree. I shoved myself in between the tree and him, stopping him from hurting himself.
“Kurt, go home and tell the police in Azaelea. I’ll tell them in Trougon.” I whispered, but he shook his head and looked up at me.
“Don’t follow me.” He whispered back, and then sprinted off towards the cemetery hill.
“Kurt!”
