Gods 5

What people see
The empty hallway stretches ahead, I stare at the dying white lights and fear. People are dead on the floor in my classroom, I can't save them but I can save myself. I start moving down the creepy place, shaking. I could barely hear my own breathing over the beat of my heart. I start using a technique my dad once taught me "My name is Hadely, I am scared but I will be ok" I say over and over. I hear the echo of my voice and start going faster, then almost at the end of the hallway I see a figure. The woman runs at me tackling me, we exchange punches. "Die you filthy..." she screams. For a second I am confused and she almost gets me with a small hidden blade.

I feel my body start shaking "Oh god..." I wanted to get rid of her not kill her! I couldn't control it as I saw my hands turning to paws, my body sprouting hair. I slash at her face with the newly gotten claws, she fights back. She knocks me backward and stands over me confused. I also stand confused as I see the woman turning into a six-teen year old boy. My wolf body changes back after a few seconds of struggle.

I realize what's happening, those kids in the classroom were killing each other. They were doing it because of the illusions! You couldn't' tell what was real and what was fake anymore. I helped the boy up, I could see in his eyes the fear and realization. "I'm Cody" he gasps out, "I'm Hadely" I respond as I drag him down the stairs as fast as possible. I try to open the door but it's obviously affected by the illusions "Won't budge" I say. He punches the window trying to break it, but like soft plastic it bends and bounces back.

A girl walks to us, my hand grows claws on command and I stand uneasy. Who wouldn't when you don't know if the person is friend or enemy, real or fake? A little kid pulls at my shirt from behind "Yes?" I ask. He cups his hands over his ears signaling us to do so, and we do. A blood curling scream breaks the silence, my heart jumps to my throat. The scream is louder than anything I've ever heard. Not only does it break the illusion, I breaks all the windows.

We run, and turn to see an arrow coming out of nowhere and striking the kid dead. "The illusions do damage" screams Cody as we run. He holds to pieces of the glass in his pockets, and we come across the most unexpected sight.
