Chapter 2, No heroes

## Chapter 2, No more heroes

The bell rang loud as class ended and everyone started leaving.

“Not you Kris, I need to have a word with you" Said Doe as everyone left the class with Susie pushing past Kris roughly before looking back, Kris watched as Noelle left with a wave and disappeared. Kris then walked over to Doe and stood in front of her as she fixed some items on her desk.

“Now Kris, I’m aware that there are some…” before she finished she looked to Kris's vandalized desk.

“...Issues, however, I will assure you that I will do all that is in my power to stop these things from happening. Though I would highly recommend a new school, has your mother brought it up to you?” Doe asked.

“Only a couple hundred times, yeah." Kris said with little enthusiasm.

Doe pinched her snout as she looked down at her laptop and up to him.

“How about I give you a pass to head home for today, things are a bit crazy right now with you being back after the incident… What happened to Noelle is really horrible." Doe said with a bit of sorrow as she looked out of the window at the grey sky outside.

“Thanks, but my mom needs me to pass this class and I can’t afford to miss more school. Don’t worry about me Mrs. Doe" Kris said as he began walking out, Doe watched him tempted to stop him, but ignored it and got ready for her next class. Kris left the classroom only to immediately get grabbed and pushed against a locker, he looked at who it was, and saw none other than Susie.

“Su-" Before Kris could answer Susie put her hand over his mouth.

“Come to the back of the school if you value your life, snack" Susie said as she pushed Kris against the locker and proceeded to walk down the hall. Kris had no reason to do anything she said, after all it was her that broke the security guard’s arm last year so who knows what she’d do to him.

“Hmm scratch that, I’d hate to see what she would do if I didn’t go." Kris said as he went about his day trying to ignore the request, unfortunately it was stuck in his head all day long. Eventually he decided to go since he wasn’t looking forward to looking like a pretzel if she found out he didn’t show up. He made it to the side of the building and kept walking behind it until he found Susie being surrounded by a few other guys, Kris looked in shock before hiding behind a wall. Thoughts passed through his mind as for a brief moment he saw Noelle with some strange men surrounding her, Kris's eyes lit up as he then turned the corner again, this time with a new feeling of resolve as he faced towards what was happening.

“Not this time.” Kris told himself as he then ran over towards the guys as quickly as he could.

“And so then I told Johnny that he had a 15 mil stuck up his arm hahah" One of the guys laughed while the others chuckled, with Susie joining in. Out of the blue Kris rams into one of the guys tackling them to the ground and punching them in the face repeatedly with downward strikes until another guy punched him in the jaw and pinned him to the ground and began punching Kris in the face.

“HEY STOP THAT’S THE GUY I WAS GONNA MEET UP WITH!” Susie shouted as all the guys then stopped hitting Kris and got up and left lifting their attacked friend up. Kris struggled to get up as he saw Susie approach him.

“D-Did I get him?” Kris said dazzled as he got up only for Susie to also punch him in the face knocking him down for good. Susie looked down at him with a disgusted look as she then got ready to turn away only for security to catch her and Kris with his hair flowing ever so slightly in the breeze. Kris woke up in the passenger seat of a car, he wore a completely white outfit with his hair also now being white as he looked in the rear view mirror, he then noticed the backseat of the vehicle was filled with bodies and charred corpses that painted the car and parts of his outfit red. Kris looked at them before he stepped out of the car, as he closed the door he heard screaming behind him causing him to turn around and see a naked Noelle standing in the middle of a pool of a white sludge like liquid, Kris looked on in confusion before he then started walking forward toward Noelle with his hand out only to stop as he then saw another version of himself with his regular black hair walk from behind her and stand there as his hands explored her body, Kris then began to run towards Noelle as fast as he possible could.

“AHHH!!!” Kris screamed as he kept running towards her only at the last second for her and the other Kris sunk down into the white liquid disappearing causing then for the white liquid to turn black.

“Noelle… NOELLE!!!” Kris shouted as he tried to look for her through the black liquid. After going through it for a few moments Kris’s hands fell to his side in defeat.

“…Monster” Kris said to himself as he suddenly heard watery foot steps coming towards him, he turned around to see Noelle hobbling towards him battered and bruised.

“NOELLE!” Kris shouted as he went to her and grabbed her shoulders, she then looked up to Kris with her nose busted and chin split. Her face was heavily beaten, Kris’s eyes filled with tears as he watched her expression fall more and more the longer she stared at him with purple flowers beginning to fall from the sky and land around them, Kris then felt something melting to his arms as he then looked as Noelle began to melt leaving nothing, but her lower torso which began to pour out a white liquid from her vaginal area and pour into the black liquid surrounding them.

Kris looked in complete shock and ambiguity as he then suddenly woke up on the infirmary table in the nurse’s office to which he could see security outside the door with the principal and Susie there too, he then looked over towards a purple set of flowers on a dresser near him, eventually Kris was sent home early. He walked inside noticing his mother wasn’t home yet, he felt the bandages on his face as he went up to his room and threw his stuff down and fell onto his bed.
