'Drrrrrnnnnnnn' the alarm kept ringing, until his lazy arms reached out to remove the batteries. "So I'll have attend morning assembly today, I really hate Mondays." He thought.
Delvin quickly got up and made his bed, he's had enough of the hostel master pulling his ears for not making his bed first thing in the morning. He ransacked the bedside cupboard for his toothbrush and after he got paste from his bunkmate, Delvin marched straight to the bathroom and started brushing, he was still a little sleepy but seeing a grotesque figure standing behind him in the mirror jeered him into full consciousness. He looked back in alarm but there was nobody there, the eerie sensation in the air made him remember the dream he had a couple days ago, was it a dream? strangely it felt so real he could have sworn there was a monster watching over him in his sleep.
He started having this weird sensations about two months ago, when as he could vividly recall, he had an uncanny encounter with a demon, although nobody believed him, although he concluded that they all had their fears but were too scared to admit.
Two months ago, during the break, the boys brigade camping event took place in the woods just outside the school. All the members of the boys brigade corps were mandated to attend. Delvin and a lot of his friends were there, the best part for him was the dinner campfire, while dey dined the corps would tell them stories of valiant boys that were once members of the brigade, helping the community, rescuing the kidnapped from criminals in the forest, stopping thieves from breaking into the school, and all. Delvin always felt that those stories made it seem like the corps was some kind of junior superhero camp.
One night after dinner, everyone had gone to sleep in their tents, but he just was'nt sleepy. It was almost one AM and he was beginning to doze when a sudden noise startled him. He thought he heard someone crying, he took his flashlight and decided to check the noise out, talk about brave boys, they'll probably tell his story at camp in future.
The air outside was quite chilly, walking past the other tents, he considered waking others but then decided not to. "I am a scout, i can do this" he encouraged himself. Suddenly, he began to feel an emptiness in his head, like he was no longer in full control of his senses. Gradually he walked past the all the tents, and into the wood. It was'nt untill he found himself at the heart of the forest that he seemed to regain full consciousness.
He was scared as hell, and the eerie feeling plus the sounds of insects intensified his fear. Suddenly there was a movement behind him, he turned and saw nothing. To his left again, he turned and saw nothing. Whatever was out here must be playing tricks on him. He turned to go back the way he came, and came face to face with the legendary Wendigo. He had never been more terrified in his whole life. His whole life literally flashed before his eyes.
The monster stood well over six feet tall, with it's pale, dry skin, and red hollow eyes looking like death.
His legs were rooted to the floor, and he could feel the wetness in his pants, "did I pee my pants" but now was not the time to think about that. If only the floor would open and swallow him or the monster for that matter.
Suddenly everything went black for a while, and when he regained himself he saw the monster retreating back into the forest and it was as if nothing had happened, it was then he noticed that the crying head stopped and the insects were no longer chirping. And as is under some unnatural force he began to walk back to camp, the very same way he came.
On getting to camp he shouted for help and woke everybody up, then narrated his ordeal to them, a few corp members went into the forest in pairs to access any threats but came back with nothing, "there are no signs of any monster even the boy's footprints are nowhere to be found" one of the scouts reported to the scout master. "I'm not lying, I swear I saw it" Delvin shouted, not knowing how else to make them believe him. "But there is no evidence to support your claim" the scout master retorted. The scout master sent everyone back to their tent, as the case was dismissed.
Until the end of the two weeks camp, Delvin could hear other students laughing at him behind his back, but he wasn't bothered. Something in him knew the monster was going to come back, but it be for him.
It was'nt strange news thing that every school session the Kingston Boys only Boarding School lost one of it's students to the legendary Wendigo. nobody could really prove it, but the disappearances were a fact nobody could deny.
So when he began to see the Wendigo in his dreams, he was not exactly sure what it meant, but he knew it had something to do with his sudden craving for blood. He could not explain it but he had a pressing desire to chew raw flesh and drink blood
He finished his bath dressed up and went to school, and after the assembly he excused himself to go back to the hostel but made a detour along the way, into the bush. Immediately he got into into the bush, he started running untill he came upon the fresh carcass of a deer. He immediately divided into its open belly and started tearing and chewing, intestines and all.
It wasn't until he'd had his fill that he came to his senses, disturbed by the scene in the front of him, he doubled and vomited all the contents of his stomach. He looked at the animal one last time walked away from there. Luckily he found a stream of water, washed the blood of himself, rinsed his mouth a hundred times and made his way back to school.
By the time he got back to school it was already time for breakfast so he joined the others at the cafeteria. The meal on the menu was potatoes and an apple. But nothing he tasted made any sense to him. It was completely bland, not something he'd ever experienced. "Hey Sean, how does this taste" he asked the guy seated next to him. "T'is amazing, never been better" Sean replied. So now his sense of taste had an issue too.
"What the hell is wrong with me" he asked himself. He could feel the change, but did not understand what was happening to him. His best guess was that it had something to do with the encounter he had with the Wendigo.
The rest of the school day went by in a blur, he had a lot of questions and no answers. Later that night he started hearing the same cries he heard that night in the boys scout camp. Deciding not to do anything about it, he turned to the other side and covered his head with a pillow. But, suddenly there was no pillow and he came face to face with the Wendigo, who was sneering at him.
He screamed in fright, only to be shaken awake by his bunkmate. "I guess you were having a nightmare, but you don't have to scream so loud in your sleep" his bunkmate said. Delvin looked around and saw a lot of angry faces, he apologized and pretended to go back to sleep. He tried to sleep but was unable to, millions of thoughts were going through in his mind.
Suddenly, he started craving blood. Unable to help himself he yielded to his cravings, stood up as if to pee and cornered a boy returning to bed from the toilet. In one swift move he broke twisted the boy's head, breaking his neck and dragged him back into the toilet. His fingers suddenly transformed, and with those long devilish nails he dug into the boy's belly and started feasting on his entrails.
He took his time selecting choice parts of the boy's intestines before quietly washing up and heading back to bed. This time around he did not vomit, he actually felt a kind of comfort he could not understand, and for the first time in a long list of nights the rest on his sleep was without nightmares.
The next morning the first students to enter the bathroom screamed until he fainted, everyone rushed there. It was nor a sight for pure eyes, it was so ghastly many of them puked on the spot. When the hostel master was shocked beyond words when he got there, tool him a few minutes to gather the mental strength to notify the school authorities.
That morning an ambulance arrived to take the body away, but none of the students took their bath in the bathroom he was murdered that morning. By lunchtime everyone was much calmer, and spoke only whenever they had to in hushed voices, there were a few whispers mentioning the Wendigo, but the school authorities hadn't decided anything yet.
Just before dinner the principal had hostel master assemble the students in the assembly hall to address them. "I'm sure you all saw what happened this morning to your fellow student, our dear Elton Greyjoy, and I'm sure you all have your questions, which will be answered soon enough. But one thing I can promise you is, we will get to the bottom of this. Henceforth lights out is a 8 PM, it best you follow strictly for your own safety. There will be security personnels on guard 24/7, and if anyone sees or notices anything suspicious, kindly report to the nearest security officer. More importantly, do not panic, we will get through this." After the principal had said his piece. The hostel master dismissed the student and went into the conference room with the principal.
After three hours of debating back and forth between the school authorities, the boy's brigade corps and the security personnel's. It was decided that either one of the students was in league with the monster or one students is the monster himself. It was difficult for the principal to agree to those conclusions, but he couldn't deny the evidence from the conditions surrounding the death of Elton Greyjoy.
To prove the possibility of the situation, the scout master brought proof from ancient records that the Wendigo actually possessed human, and made them eat other humans. And they were going to sort this issue that had plagued them for so long, once and for all.
They decided to be on the lookout for anything suspicious, as they'd decided that the Wendigo, or the boy it's possessed was going to strike again soon. They secretly set security cameras in the hostels during school hours, and even in the woods around the school.
A week after the incident in the bathroom, Delvin was having lunch in the school cafeteria when the meal started tasting bland, he went to the dispenser to get a cup of sweetened juice and it was still the same results. Knowing what had to be done and without any fear or disgust in his heart for what happened to Elton's intestines, he gently pushed his plate to a friend, claiming he'd lost his appetite.
After lights out he waited till midnight before waking up his bunkmate to escort him to the toilet, because he was scared of going there alone. Not knowing what was about to happen, he decided to escort the scared boy. They got to the toilet and Delvin turned to look at him with an evil smile plastered across his face, and in an instant he dropped to his knees, his neck twisted strangely and his eyes bulging in intense curiosity. The flashlight in his hands fell to the floor, and started rolling around until it finally stopped it's lights pointing at the face of a boy who died without knowing why.
When morning came, the security personnels came to the hostel even before the hostel master called to report another incident. They took his body covered with a cloth out of the bathroom, but everyone could see his a part of his intestines hanging off the stretcher.
The head of security asked Delvin to come with them as his bunkmate, Incase he knew anything that could help with their investigation. And immediately he got into the van, they handcuffed him and chained him to the floor.
The locked him In the detention center and played a video of him tearing through flesh a the previous night. They waited for the principal to arrive, so that they'll decide what to do with the possessed boy. Delvin was unfazed by their actions and remained calm through.
When the principal arrived he seemed a bit shocked by the revelation that he actually had a possessed boy amongst his students. But suddenly something strange happened, the principal started growing taller until he was well above seven feet, going through a demonic transformation as he turned into the Wendigo of Kingston Boys. Killing the guards present with ease, he freed Delvin and they had quite a feast before the principal returned to his human form and took care of the bodies while Delving mopped off the blood.
The case was dismissed as another Wendigo attack outside the school and it was decided that the school had to close down, because it was unsafe for the students. The principal took Delvin as his ward, as the orphanage that sent him to school could no longer afford to pay his fees.
A week ago, the principal and Delvin arrived in my city in another state, While the principal has already secured a job as a basketball coach for a college team, Delvin will resume as a transfer student with top grades in another college in this same city.
I am moving out of this doomed place this weekend, cause when the killings start I won't want to be here, and friendly advise you should also.
Knock knock.
Who's there? I'm Coming
Me: Hello, who are you?
Stranger: Hello Mr Rogers, I'm your new neighbor, my name is Delvin.
