"CRAP!" I ran down the hallway of my college, late. As I tend to be for my morning class, because I can't help but hit the snooze button fifty thousand times. Of course, my class has to be the very end of the hall.
Just as I get to the end of the hall, I hear this weird sound, kind of like a growling noise. At first, I thought it was from my headphones, but I remembered in my rush, I never turned them on. So I stopped. Should I have probably have just turned around and gone in to class? Probably. Did I? No, I'm smart, but not that smart.
I quietly walked towards the direction I thought the noise was coming from. There was an unused classroom just off to the right, normally, the door was locked to keep out students, trying to do drugs and stuff. (I literally have no idea what that stuff is), but right now, the door was wide open.
For a moment, the room appeared to empty, but I gave it a second look and that's when I noticed it. It looked like it stepped right out of my nightmares, a giant monstrous scorpion. It was eating something and hadn't quite noticed me just yet. But I couldn't move from the shock.
My throat closed up and I managed a small step backwards, only to stumble and fall, crashing into a desk. Now the scorpion noticed me.
It turned sharply and started coming right at me. I let out a terrified scream, as it raced towards me and suddenly it turned into golden dust.
I coughed, waving the dust out of my face, only to see another girl glaring at me like I was an idiot. She wore a pair of cargo pants and a greased stained shirt, and she was sheathing a sword into her belt.
"Who the hell are you?" she demanded.
