“Mr. Blaire, I’m sor—”

A violent jerk sent me forward, cutting off the words. Something warm splattered my face and in my mouth. It tasted...metallic.

Blood!

As quickly as the fear had left it returned, stunning me with emotional whiplash and leaving my mind blank. Reality didn’t hit until Marty let out an ear-piercing scream that sent goosebumps down my arms.

Everything switched from dull numbness to chaos in a matter of heartbeats. Marty was screaming in the background, yelling my name—crying out for help with desperate pleas as I watched Mr. Blaire’s face. He was looking right at me, his body tense and straining as he grabbed the doorframe. His other hand clasped my wrist. I tried to pull from him but his grip was too strong, he clung to me with every inch of survival instinct of a man desperate to live. Blood stained his purpling lips as he ground his teeth trying to form words, but they only came out in groans.

Pain twisted on the young teacher’s face and his body jerked back into the hallway. I was pulled forward again as Mr. Blaire released the door frame, both of us being dragged into the darkness.
