Chapter 166 – Three Bastards Finale: Breaking The Big Boy In The Closet (4)
"Elise! To the school building!"
Elise and I maneuvered and rushed towards the door. Thomas was chasing after us from behind, and he was growling as if he would crush our head once he caught us.
I ran as fast as possible towards the door and entered the school building. It was all dark because the lamps had been turned on inside except in some rooms like the teachers\' room. Though, Miss Alba was the last one in school.
"RRGHH! I WILL FUCKING BEAT YOU ONCE I CATCH YOU!" Thomas yelled as we continued running away from him. We ran through the corridor and found that Thomas got even faster than before.
It was really dark, and we were running blindly, hoping that we didn\'t stumble and die in Thomas\' hand.
But knowing how Thomas was about to catch up, I instructed Elise, "Continue running!"
"What?!"
"Run! Run for your life, I told you!"
Elise wanted to ask me, but when we heard the grunt from Thomas behind us, she just ran as fast as possible, but I didn\'t want to do that. We needed to divert attention, so I took a deep breath and pivoted right on my spot.
I faced Thomas right in front of me and dashed in his direction. I sidestepped when facing him and dashed in the opposite direction to Elise. So Noah\'s attention would be diverted a bit.
I expected Noah to chase me instead because chasing Elise was impossible in the dark. I could hear his grunt as he chased me again.
My goal was to enter the only open room right now, which was the teacher\'s room, and when I was close to it, I dashed straight to the teacher\'s room and slammed the door.
"ARGH!" Thomas was hit by the door slam and staggered. So I quickly locked the door from inside.
I was catching my breath for a moment. This was intense because Thomas wasn\'t in the right mind right now. His panic and rage were mixed into one, and he would definitely kill me if he could touch me.
I really hoped that Elise was informing the police about their position right now because the only person that could calm Thomas down was the police and their taser.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
"HRGGH! WHO ARE YOU?! HOW DARE YOU PEEK AT ME LIKE THAT?!" Thomas yelled as he kept punching the door. I tried to calm myself first. There was no way for Thomas to enter this room unless he had superhuman strength or he would break the glass pane.
I thought he wouldn\'t be that crazy to break the glass pane, right? It was a school\'s property, and he would be penalized heavily for breaking a school property—
CRACK!
My heartbeat stopped for a second once I saw Thomas, who suddenly smashed the glass pane with a literal bench. He lifted the bench and threw it to the glass pane. I guess that was what adrenaline would give you.
With only two smashes on the glass pane, it shattered instantly. Thomas had a malicious smirk as he stared at me, "You have no way to run now."
That smirk, that dark gaze, and those words were pretty strong for me because they reminded me of what he and his gang did to me in my previous life.
They beat me until I couldn\'t even feel my face anymore. It was like PTSD for me.
My body trembled out of fear, but when I remembered my promise to myself that I wouldn\'t rest until I got all my revenge, I gritted my teeth and went to the lighting switch, "I will make things different, you bastard!"
Blip.
I turned off the only source of light in this room. With the dark hallway added, the school building was in complete darkness right now.
"THIS DOESN\'T MATTER, YOU BITCH! YOU STILL HAVE NOWHERE TO RUN RIGHT NOW!" Thomas said. I could see his silhouette kicking the glass shard before he jumped in.
I immediately ducked and sneaked through the darkness. I didn\'t dare to walk because Thomas might be able to see my silhouette as well. So I continued crawling and tried to hide the undertone table as Thomas started kicking the tables.
"I know you\'re hiding right now! Just wait until I can find you!" Thomas yelled at me. I knew that he would find me eventually, and I couldn\'t do much if he caught me.
Tap.
Tap.
Tap.
I could hear that his footstep was near me, but he didn\'t seem to be able to find me, at least not yet.
I watched his silhouette as he walked past me and headed to the light switch. I knew my time was near, so I braced myself and got up. I knew I couldn\'t just rush to the window without making noises since it was totally dark right now.
So I quietly grabbed a chair and followed Thomas from behind. The moment Thomas turned on the light, I was already standing in front of him with a chair in my hand, "You will never catch me, bitch."
"Wha—" Thomas turned around, but it was too late as I threw the chair towards him, and it hit his head, staggered him before he fell to the ground. "OUCH!"
Now with the lights on, I could see the exit. I dashed straight to the door, unlocked it and then left.
"ARGH, YOU CUNNING LITTLE BITCH!" I could hear the sound of things getting kicked left. Right, so I assumed that Thomas was still in his rage, so I ran deeper towards the school corridor, hoping to find a hiding spot and meet with Elise somehow.
I turned to the left in the corridor and climbed to the second floor, I could still hear Thomas behind me, but his distance was a bit farther than before.
I ran frantically until a hand grabbed me and pulled me to the bathroom.
"Hmpf!"
"Sshh! Don\'t say anything, Em!" Elise said as she covered my mouth.
She pulled me to this bathroom and then dragged me inside one stall. We were staring at each other, and I heard the sound of footstep before—
SLAM!
Thomas slammed the bathroom door open, and he also started walking around, much to my nervousness. But fortunately, he gave up easily and then left.
I was taking a deep breath to calm myself down. It was truly a terrifying chase that would stay in my head for a long time. I didn\'t even expect to escape. It was simply too terrifying.
I whispered to Elise, \'Did you call 911 and inform them what\'s happening in this school?\'
\'I did, don\'t worry about it, they said they\'re coming,\' Elise replied, much to my relief. The last thing we needed was to call the cops, and things would be sorted out quickly.
\'But there is something else we need to do, Elise,\' I replied.
\'What is it?\'
\'The fake request note about sexual assault,\' I replied. \'I haven\'t put it because I\'m afraid those guys would check again, so they would know it\'s a trap. We need to go to the abandoned storage room and then put the fake sexual assault request there.\'
\'But there is only one entrance, and I bet Thomas is still searching for us,\' Elise said, and that was true. Thomas must\'ve been searching for us still, and there was no guarantee that Jorge and Jackson weren\'t camping outside right now since I believed they couldn\'t find Noah at all.
But we had no time to waste just hiding here, we needed to move fast before the police arrived, or the sexual assault plan would go to waste.
Ten minutes had passed, and there was no sign of Thomas. Thus I whispered to Elise, \'You should stay here. I will come out and find my way to the abandoned storage. I will text you after I finish the job.\'
\'Em, are you sure? I—I mean, I think this is enough for Thomas to get in jail. I want him to get roped by sexual assault charge as well, but the most important thing is still your safety.\'
\'Don\'t worry, I\'ve got my own ways,\' I replied.
Thus, I left the bathroom and headed to the long corridor once more. I tiptoed, trying my best not to make noises, afraid that Thomas might be somewhere right now.
Then, when I went down to the first floor, I could feel my phone in my pocket vibrating. I looked to my left and right. After ensuring there was no sign of Thomas, I checked the text.

xx: My darling, go to the class nearest to the main entrance of the school building. I\'ve unlocked the door. You can open the window from that class and then jump to go to the abandoned storage.
xx: I\'m sorry that I\'m late, but I\'ve subdued Thomas for a while. He is unconscious right now. But he\'s got a super strength due to the adrenaline rush. I\'m afraid he will wake up in only around ten minutes and start hunting you down. So do it quickly before he gets up, and the police arrive.
xx: I love you.
