Chapter 25: Solomon

Heavenly Host Elementary

" NNNNNOOOOOOO!!!"

Naomi screams out in anguish before crumbling onto the floor, sobbing out in sadness.

" Seiko! Why?!"

Just as Naomi is sobbing to herself, Ayumi steos away in shock, unable to process what has happened.

" How can this be?! How could Seiko......hang herself?"

" It's her fate."

Both Naomi and Ayumi turned around, only to find a girl around their age standing at the door of the restroom.

" Who are you?"

Naomi questions her.

The girl didn't answer.

Instead, she said.

" That girl was betrayed by her friend, who simply hung her in cold blood."

The girl sighs and she remarks.

" I feel sorry for her."

Ayumi questions the girl.

" Do you know where Satoshi and Jennifer are?"

The girl nods and she answers.

" I do. I will take you to them."










Elsewhere

" Ayumi!"

" Naomi!"

" Seiko!"

Both Jennifer and Satoshi calls out as the pair walks along the dark hallway, searching for their friends.

Satoshi sighs to himself and he laments.

" It's no use. At this rate, we'll never find them."

Jennifer places a hand on his shoulder and she encourages him.

" Don't give up Satoshi, as long as we stay hopeful, we can find our friends."

" Yeah. I guess you're right."

" I doubt so."

Upon hearing a low deep voice, both Satoshi and Jennifer looks up.

Standing in front of them stood a tall muscular winged creature with a rather define skeletal features on his face.

His entire body is covered in blue mangy fur and he has leathery wings resembling that of a bat.

Jennifer questions the creature.

" Who are you?"

The demon began introducing himself.

" The name's Solomon. And I'm the best. Still the best since 1973."

Satoshi questions the demon further.

" And what do you mean you doubt it?"

Solomon sighs and he explains.

" Must I spell it out for you lad? Fine. What I meant was this entire school has plunged deeper into deep, meaning, your friends are here but at the same time, not here."

" So in other words, does that mean we may never find our friends?"

Solomon nods.

" Damn right."

Refusing to believe what Solomon said, Satoshi shouts.

" But there's always a way! I mean, we escaped once so maybe we can do it again."

Upon hearing what the boy said, Solomon raises an eye and he questions.

" Wait. Did you say you escaped?"

" Yeah I did. Why?"

Solomon leans in and he whispers.

" Here's the thing. There is a way I can help you. However, there's a catch."

" What's the catch?"

" You will have to really win Sachiko's approval and trust me, she isn't nice, period."

Solomon held up two bony fingers, snipping them together and he continues.

" Sachiko is out there hunting you. She's out there killing ignorant students who got themselves here. She's hellbent in ensuring no one escapes."

" How did you get here? Did you perform the ritual as well?"

Jennifer questions.

Solomon shook his head.

" No. Lord Red gave me this."

The blue demon held up a small hand held device and he explains.

" This is a transporter device given by Red in order to send his thralls out to initiate his plans. I was supposed to go to Silent Hill but instead, I used this to get myself here."

" So can you use that device to help us?"

Satoshi asks.

Solomon answers.

" Yes and no. You see, this device is only accessible for demons. Which means for you humans to use it....."

Solomon's red eyes gleams as he concludes his sentence.

" One of you must give up your life."

Horrified at what Solomon said, Jennifer protests.

" You're out of your mind!"

" This isn't a game girl. A price must be paid for making a deal with the devil."

Both Jennifer and Satoshi could only look at each other in concern just as Solomon is about to explain his instructions to them.
