bit of excitement. As she made it down the ground floor
her feet stepped into an inch of water. The long corridor was flooded and instantly Iliana
felt a cold shiver that ran down her spine. Then a ruffle of noises followed by men’s voices
echoed from the very end of the corridor where Iliana headed towards, whilst trying to
tread lightly so not to make too much splashing noises.
                The door to the bathroom was ajar and as Iliana pressed her ear against the door she
could hear a deep growling noise like a tiger who was ready to pounce it’s enemy, and a
man’s voice that seemed to be muttering an incantation so quickly Iliana could not make
out what he was trying to say. Even more intrigued Iliana slowly pushed the door praying
it would not squeak as she opened it, just so she could slip her slim body inside... luckily it
did not make a sound. But she did not expect to see what was coming.
     
     
     
     
     
    ***CHAPTER 2***
     
     
                The large bathroom was dim with only a few long fluorescent bulbs flickering light,
down to the ankle deep flooded floor and a chill in the room gave it an even more eerie
atmosphere. In front of Iliana with their backs towards her were two broad shouldered
men. Both stood in between the row of sinks which were all full to the brim with water on
their left and the toilet cubicles on their right. Sitting on a wooden chair that looked a little
misplaced in a girls bathroom was a girl, who wore the same uniform as Iliana but had a
white cloth draped over her face. Thick ropes strapped round both of her wrists to the arms
of the chair and her waist was tied to the back of the chair. It sounded like the deep
growling noises came from the girl but Iliana was uncertain. Without thinking Iliana spoke
out quite loudly that it echoed round the room and the growling noises stopped, and so did
the muttering of the incantation.
                "What on earth is going on here?"
    Startled, both men whipped round in unison and Iliana’s eyes widened. Standing there
with his blazer still open and a long thin silver sword in one hand was Kazuki. Next to him
was a priest in his late thirties dressed completely in black with the white collar. He had a
stubbled beard and short light brown hair. He was a little shorter than Kazuki and Iliana
was positively sure he was the Religious Education teacher. She had not yet a lesson with
him but has heard a lot of gossip of his ways of teaching the religious matters from fellow
students. He was holding an opened black book in one hand and quite a big silver cross in
the other.
                "What is shedoing here?" Kazuki asked bluntly and rather coldly.
                "I should ask youthe same question." Iliana snapped back.
    Kazuki glared at her and if looks could kill, Iliana would have died twice over. But his
deathly glare seemed to also have a hint of shock and bewilderment to it. The priest
frowned curiously at Iliana.
                "You can see him?" He questioned in a gentle and calm voice.
    Before Iliana could answer the obvious question the girl strapped to the chair started to
screech loudly and the white cloth that had covered her face flew off.
                "C-Chloe!" Iliana gasped, her hand over her mouth in complete shock.
    Her face was almost unrecognizable. The only thing that probably resembled Chloe was
her dark auburn shoulder length hair. Her face was white and gaunt. Her eyes were no
longer light green but dark with black circles under them. She looked a lot worse than that
time when Iliana saw her on her first day of school. Chloe’s whole body began to shake
quite violently as she started screeching. The thick ropes around her snapped off like paper
thin twigs and she suddenly threw her head back. Black thick smoke emerged from her
eyes and mouth then floated up to the air and landed on the floor lightly, not even making
a splash on the water. The smoke
