Zack wasn't sure what was going on. Why was everyone not in the class anymore? Zack swore he took a short nap and suddenly everyone was gone out of that classroom. Zack was about to twist his head to look out the window. When suddenly a hand covered his eyes.
"Don't look at them", Vin said calmly as Zack was about to push the hand away until Zack heard a muffled scream in the distance. Then a loud crack and more smaller cracks.
"Please, tell me it's not a ghost or I am going to pee my pants", Zack mumbled quietly as Vin looked out the window with his shades. Vin wasn't sure if he was ready to explain the details of the floating suited men without eyes to Zack. All of them had some sort of tophat. One of the men without the eyes was staring Vin straight in the eyes through the broken window.
"I don't know how to explain this to you but I think that those things are after people with eyes out in the open. Just keep your eyes closed or cover them with high tinted sunglasses. I think I might have a pair at my desk", Vin was about to let go Zack's face until Zack grabbed onto Vin's hand not letting go.
"Please, don't leave me", Zack said weakly as Vin could tell Zack was really fucking scared. Well, Vin was too since he was in the bathroom a moment ago and then walked back to halls to see dead bodies everywhere with their eyes missing from the deformed bodies. Vin was kind of glad he had chosen to go to the farthest bathroom from his classroom because he had just saved Zack's life. Vin hoped that the people at the lecture hall weren't all dead since Mary and Zack's friends were there.
"Okay, umm, just follow me and we-", Vin got cut off by a scream happening right behind them in the hall. Vin had made the mistake of turning around and seeing a teacher run past with one of the floating men after him. Soon a window was broken and the teacher was in the same classroom as them, screaming for help as their eyes got carved out by the man's hands. The fingers breaking the eyeball and taking them all out just eat them. The noise the eyes made when they kept getting chewed.
The teacher screamed in pain as the suited man then started to dislocate the teacher's joints. Every crack reminded Vin of his past. Every scream surfaced some memories. But Vin snapped back into reality when Zack was grabbing tightly around Vin's waist. Vin made sure to keep Zack's eyes hidden. Zack soon got up from his seat with his backpack as Vin started to guide them out of the classroom. The suited man looked at their direction and moved their head according to where Vin and Zack were moving.
Once they were in the hallway Zack opened his mouth to speak, "I don't think I would like to see what is happening. I think I'm going to pass out and piss my pants. I'm fucking dead serious."
"Well, that's valid and would make my life so much easier if you stayed awake. I feel like you wouldn't enjoy all the body horror anyway. Let's find something to blindfold your eyes just in case something happens. I have no idea what those things are but like I said. It seems like they are after people who have their eyes out in the open", Vin said as he was guiding Zack towards the nurse's to find a bandage to use to wrap it around Zack's eyes.
As they were walking the steps downstairs, Vin remembered that he had his swimming goggles in his pants pocket and that those would probably be more safe to use than the sunglasses but Vin's priority was now to get Zack to the nurse's office first and probably raid that place too.
Vin really hoped everyone at the lecture hall was safe from the danger that waited for them on the outside.
