Fatal - Chapter 12

Victor – ” Yes I know him . He is Ben . ”

Leo – ” Ben who ? ”

Jacob – ” Who is Ben ? ”

Victor – ” He is Ben . The new student in our class . Remember I asked about him . ”

Silas – ” The new student in our class but I have never seen him before in the school . ”

Victor – ” You must have not noticed him , Silas as you must be busy cursing me in your thoughts . ”

Leo – Victor but I too have not seen him before in the whole campus forget about our class . ”

Jacob – ” Yes Victor I am with Leo and Silas in this matter . I too have not seen this face in my entire life so far . ”

Victor – ” You all are trying to deceive me , but you all will fail . Come on Ben tell them about yourself .”

Silas – ” Yes Ben tell us about yourself . We will like to know you . ”

Ben – ” This is not the right place and time to introduce myself infront of you all . This building can collapse any time and if you all want to survive then we should leave this building immediately without any further delay . ”

Leo – ” Yes his reason is sensible and moreover this world is not going to finish today that we will not get to know each other . Let us all leave this building and then we can start the introduction round . ”

Jacob – ” Yes let us all leave this building fast as I don’t want to die in this building as this building is no less than the Titanic which can collapse anytime . ”

Victor – ” Yes let’s go . ”

All of them ran towards the stairs but they were neary collapsed and were having cracks all over them which could hardly withstand their body weights . ”

Leo – ” We all are stuck in this building . We can take the risk of landing our foot on those stairs . ”

Jacob – ” You are right Leo this stairs are not safe . Let us all go and get into the lift . ”

Victor – ” Have you gone mad , Jacob . You are suggesting us to go inside the lift in a collapsed building . What if the lift stops ? Then we will get stuck inside the lift and will finally die there with suffocation or who knows the lift also gets collapsed . ”

Leo – ” Yes Victor is right we should find some other way to leave this Titanic, oh sorry my mistake I meant to say this building . ”

Silas – ” Yes but one should see the lift first .”

Leo – ” For what ? Why to waste time here in this building ? ”

Silas – ” Let us visit the lift maybe we can find a way to leave this building . ”

Ben – ” Let us all go there . ”

[ They all went to the lift ]

Silas ( presses the lift button ) – ” It’s not functioning . ”

Leo (while pressing the lift button again and again ) – ” Yes it is dead . ”

Victor – ” I can’t find any way to leave this building . ”

Ben – ” Silence for a moment . I hear a crying noise of some girl . Can you all listen to this cry . ”

Victor ( closes this eyes to focus on the voice ) – ” Yes I can hear it too and it’s coming from there . ”

[ Victor points at the art’s room ]

Ben – ” We should go there and help her . ”

Jacob – ” Presently we need an urgent help . How can we help someone else ? ”

Victor – ” Don’t talk rubbish , Jacob . What if we can’t help her ? We can still accompany her and who knows we can help her in some way or the other . ”

Leo – ” Let us go and see her , but we should be careful as it roof can collapse anytime . ”

[ Victor opens the door ]

Victor – ” Who is crying here ? We can help please come out . ”

” Oh ! God you are here Victor . I thought I will die here in this building . ”

Victor – ” Who is it ? Kindly show your face .”

” It’s me Callie , you don’t remember Victor . ”

Victor – ” I remember come out as we have to leave this building fast . ”

[ Callie cames out of the room ]

Leo – ” Oh ! look who she was ? It’s Callie . Jacob see . ”

Jacob – ” I can see it Leo . No need to tell me seperately . ”

Victor – ” How come you reach here Callie ? You should have left this building . ”

Callie – ” I went to submit my notebooks for correction but then suddenly the earthquake came and I hide myself beneath the desk . When the earthquake perished I was unable to unlock the door and loss all my hope to leave this building and thought that I will die in this building . ”

Victor – ” Why will you die , Callie ? Don’t say such words from your sweet mouth . ”

As soon as I spoke this line Jacob began to stare at me which anger in his eyes and I thought that I should remain quite .

Silas – ” Means that now we six are only left in this building which can collapse anytime .”

Leo – ” But where will we go now . All doors are closed . ”

Ben – ” There is only one way left . ”

Jacob – ” Where is it ? Take us all there fast .”

Ben – ” Our only way left is the terrace. ”

Silas – ” But how will we reach the terrace . And if we get to reach the terrace how will we leave this building from there . ”

Ben – ” Victor , where is that hatchet ? ”

Victor ( in nervousness ) – ” Hatchet , which hatchet ? ”

Ben – ” Don’t hide that hatchet from me . I saw you when you used that hatchet which has made this school campus look in this way . ”

Callie – ” Who is he ? I noticed him now. ”

Leo – ” He is Ben . ”

Callie – ” What is he doing in this building ?”

Silas – ” He is a student of our class according to Victor . I can’t verify it . ”

Callie – ” But I never get to see him . ”

Leo – ” Victor , now what will you say ? Is Callie also deceiving you. ”

Victor – ” But Ben told me that he is a new student of our class . ”

Ben – ” Looks like I have to reveal my real identity to you all . But for now I tell you only one thing that I lied to you , Victor I don’t study in this school . Now just take out that hatchet and give it to me . ”

Victor – ” I can’t trust a liar . Silas don’t give him that hatchet. ”

Silas – ” Now you are acting wisely . Don’t trust a liar .”

Ben – ” I am not a liar I have to hide myself in front of you lords . ”

Leo – ” Lords , who ? ”

Ben – ” You won’t understand it in one go . It will take some time . Victor I never intended to harm you . Please give me that hatchet if we all want to survive else welcome death . ”

Victor – ” Silas let me trust him for a last time . ”

Silas – ” It’s here take it but remember I am giving this hatchet against your name . ”

Ben – ” Believe me . I know how to use it . ”

Victor – ” How ? ”

Ben – ” No questions right now . Let me concentrate. ”

Leo – ” Ben you carry on , Victor you be silent like Jacob . ”

Ben starts to say a strange sentence repeatedly and with time the hatchet began to glow more and more brighter and finally it got a strange force field around it which no one had seen before . Ben released the hatchet and it began to float in the air and came near Victor and Ben instructs him to hold the hatchet tightly and aim the opposite wall of the classroom .
