 The Vision

    ~Classes~


    Rune was In class, casually sketching pictures of scythes and personifications of death. It was lunch time and as per usual no one was sitting by him, so he was alone just sitting there silently, the only noise was the pencil scratching against the paper. He paused. He could sense something was off in class looking around he stared at the class monitor, Bruce Nevada, suddenly he was inturupted with a sensation of emotions.


    Pain


    It Hurts


    StopStopStopStopStopStopStopStopStopStopStopStop


    STOP BITING ME!


    And then Rune screamed and passed out.


    ~Nurse''s Office; Rune''s POV~


    I wake up with a start. What was that? All I remember is looking at the class monitor and then they attacked me started biting me to death. What the actual fuck happened? I begin to think, it was probably another vision of some sort, but if thats the case why didn''t the monitor actually attack me? Whenever I had visions before they were usually of my death, but the horrible part was that most of the visions came true. Slightly missing geting hit in the head with a flowerpot, Lightning striking the tree next to me, just because I decided to avoid it.


    Now why would the Monitor bite me? Why? I couldn''t think of an answer and layed on the nurses'' bed. I decided to stay away from the Bruce, but whats the point? Everyone already avoids me, its not like the class monitor was my friend or anything. I try to think back on the vision, It was red, and kinda dark...the monitor had bloodshot eyes I think, and... That''s all I remember. Dammit.


    I get up and the nurse motions for me to leave, I''ve been here plenty of times I know the drill. This is the reason everyone avoids me, they think I''m insine, and for all I know It might actually be true. I get avoided at school, mainly because all of my visions scare the crap out of me, but as time went on I got used to them, and you could say they saved my life a few times. This time however I have no idea when the class monitor will try to attack me but I''ve got to be prepared to face that when it happens.

    I walk home and immedietly boot up my computer and search for lethal Martial Techniques. I know this sounds bad, but if the Class monitor tries to kill me, well they better be ready when I try to kill them back. Selecting a good one I begin to practice.


    ~One Week Later~


    I''ve been getting the hang of the Palm Strikes, a technique meant for damaging internal organs in the least amount of movement. I''d say I''m pretty good at the movements but i have no idea how to test the power, but I keep trying to perfect it. Suddenly I feel another vision coming on.


    Goddammit why now?


    I see myself useing Palm Strikes against the class monitor and the technique is a lot more advanced, after the monitor falls down from the blow, and I run out to the hallway and grab a chair seemingly trying to break a window. Bruce gets up blood dripping from his mouth, and lunges to bite at my throat. Once he connects he ends up tearing my throat out, the vision ends and I''m left gasping for breath.


    I decide to take up another technique becuase that vision was more vivid and horifying, maybe this time It''s better to get some weapon proficiency.


    ~Two Weeks Later~


    I''ve managed to pick up both the staff and spear training, I am in the process of creating my own style and I am actually happy, not with the dying vision, but with all the progress I am making I have a good hand to hand style and I am working on a great saff and spear technique. Practicing I swing the Staff around, although I hit only air I can almost feel the power in each if my strikes. I feel myself get another vision, Usually I fear them, but this time I want to see what will come of me with the new techniques I learned.


    I''m Against the Class monitor as per usual, but there is bodies all over the ground, seemingly all dead I watch as the class monitor gets up and hobbles forward toward me, I Grap a broom and viciously smack the monitor in the side of the head hearing a loud crack noise as the monitor crashes to the gound I grab a notebook filled with entries and I see the date...June 14.


    I snap out of the vision shocked. June 14th? Thats about a month away! I realize I dont have much time to prepare and I start to use my birthday savings to buy supplies.


    ~June 1st~


    Using all of my savings and from begging my guardian for a couple thousand for a college fund I buy out a couple of storage facilities on the second floor of an apartment complex. Inside is a makeshift exectricity system I built with a bicycle, and tons of supplies. While I feel a little bad about lying I am waiting for the end of the world here. I haven''t gotten any visions from the day I learned that Bruce would bite me, and I am guessing the reason is I am not going to school anymore, so that future is gone for me.  I decided to write a diary and each day I am putting in my the details of each day.


    I heard a new sickness is going around.

 Out of Seclusion

    ~June 3rd~


    My guardian found out I wasnt going to school, well it was good while it lasted but i figured they would find out eventually, just why now? I heard a sickness with cold like symtoms were going around but I have a really bad feeling about it, its bodily spread like sneezing and stuff, so I now plan to go to school in a mask, just to not get it.


    People with the sickness are still supposed to go to school as the governmet just say its a new type of cold but I am constantly nervous, this is something more. I have started going back to school, but everyone still avoids me but this time its I am glad, I dont want to be too close to anyone, especially Bruce Nevada.


    ~June 10th~


    School has been relatively normal, so much so I start to be disbeliving to my vision, but I am still constantly training and staying alert towards everything. As everyone thinks I am insane, I already figured it would be better not to tell anyone, as they wouldn''t believe me anyway.


    ~June 11th~


    I think my vision had somthing to do with this virus going around, I could say half of the school is infected or something but only some of them stay home, for one I know Bruce has it, He''s been sneezing for a while but He has to stay in school as the class monitor.  I want to start warning people, but no one would believe me.


    ~June 12th~


    I gave in to my stupid feeling and started warning people, but as my fears came true, no one believed me. "Crazy Rune at it again" "What did you "See" this time" People would mock me inssesently but It''s nothing I wasn''t used to but this time something really wrong is happening.


    I only have two days left.

    I tried to tell my close friends and family but the former I had none of and the latter thought I was really crazy this time. I don''t get why no one believes me! I am not crazy! I start to suspect that the govenment and the news are hiding something, because all of the news that comes in are telling people not to worry, but the opposing is happening to me.


    I can say nearly all of the school is infected, with a few outliers like Henry Constance the clean freak, and Anna Sherwood, both of them were like me wearing masks and nt letting people cough or sneeze near us, I slowly got to know them as we would usually hang out a bit more just becuase they didnt hang around anyone sick. When I tried to tell them I didn''t think the virus was a simple as it seemed they brushed it off, but I hey at least I tried.


    ~June 14th~


    Today''s the day. I walked into school slowly and sat down in class. everyone seems normal, although a bit slugish, everyine has dark circles under their eyes and they look really bad. Henry, Anna, and I, Notice and we sit together in the back of the class. Halfway throught the class the teacher fell over. Like passed out and most of the class followed. Now I could see that Henry and Anna worried, I remained reletively calm, because to an extent I knew this was going to happen and did try to warn everybody.


    Soon just like the vision I watched as Bruce got up and hobbled towards me, getting into position, I think to myself No Mercy. I Palm Stike him in the cheast and he falls down I hear Anna scream, and I jump back grabbing a broom. Wielding it like a Staff I watch as more people get up, each with bloodshot eyes and they aren''t even talking just making weird moan noises.


    Pushing Henry and Anna Out into the Hall I shout for them to go to my safe house, Anna Seems worried but follows my instructions. Soon I begin to fight my classmates, smacking them left and right with the broom, running out of into the hallway, Anna and Henry are gone so I just assume they got away somewhere. Rushing into the hall I begin to get chased by my old classmates, as well as others getting up in the hall.


    I hear screams coming from downstairs and I look down the stairs to see, some teacher attack some students bitting them like sharks, I nearly scream at the sight of the bloodied teacher and students. I tried to prepare myself for this but this is even worse then i could have ever imagined.


    Rushing down the stairs I smash my way through the teacher denting their head with a vicious ''crack!'' I try not to puke as I run down the stairs and out the emergency exit door.


    I run as fast as I can to my safehouse.


    This is way worse than I imagined.
