Chant

"Dont Die. Dont Die. If I die I forget. If I forget, I forget him. If I die it restarts. I dont want it to restart. I wanna go home. I WANNA GO HOME. I wanna..." 

Braden's POV:

"Mr.Welsh, would you like to answer this question for the class?" My teacher asks. I fix my sweater vest and glasses, "Of course Mrs.Safiya." I smile. I get up and take the marker from her hand, and begin to scribble at the board. "There." I look at my finish work, satisfied. "Good going Mr.Welsh." Mrs.Safiya smiles at me. "Nerd!" A dirty blonde yells out. "Elijah Best! What was that?" Her face instantly changes. I stand there shocked, Elijah would never say that too me. He was the person who helped me meet Denis. My throat starts to clog. "You may sit back down Braden.." She smiles, only for her angered look to face back to the Dirty Blonde Male. "I uh..May I use the restroom?" I ask. "Yes you may." Mrs.Safiya answers. I shuffle out the door down to the bathroom. As soon as I open the door I'm pulled inside, my glasses almost falling off. I look up and see a taller male with a school jacket on, him being skinny and quite buff. I examine him more an notice its Denis, but not the Denis Im use to seeing. "Braden? You Ok? You seem-" He looks at where my focus of attention is, His chest. He blushes but continues to talk, "Distracted..Anyway, Where are we?" He asks. I gather myself together, "I dont know Denis. This definitely isnt our School, and Our Friends arent acting right . So this Definitely isnt our Lives." I say looking down at my clothing. "Though you do look really cute with glasses on..Im digging the nerdy look." He smirks. "Denis! Snap out of it, We need to figure out were we are." I say. He sighs, "...Have you heard that chant? in your brain..It keeps talking to me." He says. "You mean the 'Dont Die' chant?" I ask. He nods, "Yea..Ive been hearing it too." I say. "Weird, What do you think it means?" He asks. "Maybe its a warning, and I dont think we should take it lightly." I say. "WATCH OUT!" Denis grabs my wist and pulls me close to him. a knife is thrown through the door and almost hits us both. He shields me from it, "What was that?" I ask, looking at the back bathroom wall. "A Knife..." He says. "Why was it aiming for us? and How."  I ask. "Dont Die. Dont Die. If I die I forget. If I forget, I forget him. If I die it restarts. I dont want it to restart." Denis quotes. "The chant.." I say. Denis nods, He goes towards the knife and takes it out of the wall. "What does it read?" I ask. "Dont Die." He says. I stay quite. "Braden?" Denis calls for me. "Yes?" I answer. "No matter what happens, No matter what people try to do. Promise me you'll come to me first, and Promise me you will Stay Alive" He says. "Why do I need to-" I start. "Because This isnt our Lives. We're not Home. I dont know what will come. Everyday we're here we are targeted to be killed.." He says. "And If we Die. We forget. If we forget we forget each other-" I quote. Denis slowly nods. I hug him, "I promise" He hugs me tighter. 

"Well Well Well, What do we have here?"
