A Forgotten Truth

'My name is Diablo Demon. I may be the sole survivalr. Nine hours ago, something attacked the town. I don't know what it is. If you find this recording, you must detroy the town and every one living here'

Nineteen years eariler,

Falcon ran down the stone cold peppled street of his home town all the way to school. He was so late and this was his first day at a new school. How embarrassing!

Falcon ran into class before the class bell rang loudly into the school. 'Whew! Made it!' he thought as his teacher, Mrs Borwn walked into the room. After the class, Falcon walked down to the canteen to buy his lunch.

Some thing troubled him. There was no one in the canteen and no people sat at the benches with there brought lunch. Now fear went through Falcon as he began to walk around the empty lunch area.

Suddenly from behind him there was a scearm and roar of some terrible creature. Running like the wind, Falcon ran to the front gate and out of school and away from the scearms.

Nineteen long years later......

Diablo and his little plant friends called Pummel Weed walked down the stone cold street that led to the old high school. The high school had been closed up for nineteen years because some horrible murders had happened to the students there.

"Diablo, I am not going in there. It give me the creeps!" said Pummel Weed as Diablo laughed. "Oh, come on, Pummel Weed. Stop being such a weed" said Diablo as he opened the gate to the old school. Pummel Weed gluped and followed him.

Inside the school it was very dark and all the windows had beeen smashed by rock and tree breches. "Whoa, this place is cool!" said Diablo as Pummel Weed shock in fear.

"Okay, now we've seen it. Now can we go?!" said Pummel Weed as he stopped in the hallway where the students would have had their science lessons. "You are such a scary cat!" said Diablo as he looked back at Pummel Weed.

"Lets have a look in there" said Daiblo as he ponited to the science lab door. "I'm not going in there" said Pummel Weed as he floded his arms. "Fine, I'll go by myself" said Diablo as he opened the and disappered from site.

Pummel Weed was left alone. The wind howled arould and the doors of the old class rooms creaked. "Diablo, wait for me!" said Pummel Weed as he run into the class room.

"What took you so long?" asked Diablo as Pummel Weed went beside him. "Listen, Pummel Weed. Once we look around this lab, we'll go. Deal?" said Diablo as Pummel Weed repiled "Deal" said Pummel Weed as they began to look around the lab.

The bottles that contained the chemcails were all broken and the chairs were broken and rotting away. "Looks like something bad happened here. Something really bad" said Diablo as he saw an old students work book.

As he opened the book, he saw a warning note. "Pummel Weed, over here!" he called as he heard tiny footsteps coming his way. When Pummel Weed was close enough, Diablo showed him the note.

The note was still clear as though as if had just been writen. The note said:

PLEASE LEAVE. DARK EVIL HERE. DEATH IS EVERY WHERE. LEAVE NOW, OR DIE.

After they had read the note, Pummel Weed said "Diablo, I think we should go. If this note is real, then who ever wrote it would want us to stay away from the school" he finished as Diablo closed the book and looked at him.

He know that Pummel Weed was right. We ever had left that note for them would want them to stay away but Diablo still wanted to look around the school. His mother used to go the this school. His father had said that his mother would have hidden in the school. Diablo had not seen her since he was a very small child.

"I can't, Pummel Weed" said Diablo as Pummel Weed looked at him in shock. "Diablo, are you nuts?!" said Pummel Weed as a roar came from the hallway.

What ever had killed the students in the school nineteen years ago, was still here....
