~Leiloni's POV~
Scratches and growls are the only noise that we can hear. We were all like manikins here standing and tried to be as quiet as possible because the moment they hear us, it would be another episode of us doing a marathon.
I slowly glanced at everyone's faces and all of them look terrified. I don't think standing here for too long makes us safer, not even close.
"So what's the plan?" Audrey whispered looking at Kevin waiting for an answer but he just glanced at the building right next to us, it was the library.
"Let's get inside that building first," Kevin said in a low voice pointing to the school library, "we can't stay here outside longer, those monsters might notice us any moment," he added and all of us agreed and started to walk trying to be as quiet as possible.
The library wasn't locked so we just barged ourselves in. The whole place was dark and doesn't have any lights illuminating the area. Elio latched the door shut behind us while Troy and Kevin immediately blocked it with a huge table for safety purposes. I found a switch near the door so I tried pressing it but the lights did not turn on.
"I'll go find the generator," Troy said as he took out his phone and used it as a flashlight then started to walk away.
Kevin took out a flashlight on his bag moving it around to make sure there are no monsters lurking around. They checked the whole library and thank goodness there are no signs of monsters. Troy came back and told us that he didn't find any generator but he brought an emergency light and it was bright enough to illuminate the small space that we're sitting.
"So now what?" Audrey again asked Kevin but he just remained silent staring at the surface of the table thinking deeply.
"If we will continue our plan on getting on that school bus then we need to find a way to get rid of those monsters first," Elio said which made us all turn quiet.
"Those monsters, they have a strong sense of hearing and even one single sound will make them turn their attention to you," Alexis said that made all of us look at him. It was the first time that I heard him speak and the way he talks makes me think that he's smart.
"What are you trying to say?" Aaron asked.
"What I'm trying to say is that someone should lure the monsters so that we can all get to the school bus safe-"
Aaron suddenly cut him off, "so you want someone to sacrifice his or her life so that the rest of the group could get out of this school?"
"Of course not," Alexis said and chuckled that made Aaron flashed him his puzzled face, "look, between the library and the building where the principal's office was located, there's a small alley there that can be used as a hiding place," he added that made all of us even more confused.
Alexis explained the rest of his plan to all of us and after almost half an hour of explaining we finally got his point. His plan was just like what Troy did back in the senior high building where he lured the monsters clearing a path for me but this time, the person who will volunteer will need hide to that small alley between the library and the building of the principal after luring the monsters.
