Charlette's dash for the door seemed to work as she fled the classroom not caring that she was completely naked. She turned right and continued to run as fast as she could. Since it was lunch time there were few students in the halls so there was almost no danger of someone grabbing her and holding her until Tira found her. It was only after she had ran past a few preds that she remembered her first day here.
It was just after class and the halls were still filled with students when Charlette saw a completely naked boy run through the halls much the same way she was doing now. No one had bothered to stop or help him. It was easy to see why no one helped him as they didn't want to get between a pred and her meal. What Charlette couldn't understand at the time was why none of the preds stopped him. Later that day when she was in the toilet she heard a group of preds talking about the fun they had running down their prey. They took great joy in the prey's despair when they finally ate them.
With a jolt Charlette realized that Tira had let her get away so she could hunt her down. Her hopes were almost completely dashed with this realization but she kept one small ray of hope alive. As long as she was still free there was some hope that she could find a place to hide. It had happened before from what she had heard. Of course the preds may have told her that to give her false hope. Even if it was false hope it kept her running and looking for a place to hide instead of just collapsing to the floor and crying.
Charlette came to another hall and turned left. She could have sworn that she had been running for hours but realized that it was only a couple of minutes as she passed a clock.
Suddenly Tira's voice rang out somewhere behind her. "WHERE ARE YOU CHARLETTE? I'M HUNGRY!" she shouted in a sing song voice.
Charlette spotted an open door off to her right and charged through it closing the door behind her as quietly as she could. She found herself in the hall leading to the old girl's lockers. She had heard that these lockers weren't used anymore since the infamous pred brawl. It had started off as a disagreement between the cheerleaders and geeks over some boys that each wanted to eat. It had soon come to blows and several girls died as a result. After that the school had built a new girl's locker and installed a door at the beginning of the hall. The door was usually closed and no one came in here so Charlette should be safe.
Even though she should be safe Charlette didn't want to stay by the door so she made her way down the hall making as little noise as possible. When she reached the door to the old girl's lockers she went in.
Charlette was surprised that the lights were on in here when no one came in here anymore. She could see that the floor was clean, like it had been cleaned just last night. As she walked through the lockers she could swear she heard the souls of the girls who died here moving about and fighting over long dead boys. It gave her the creeps.
When she came to the end of a row of lockers Charlette decided to sit on the grimy bench and rest for a bit. Suddenly the section of lockers she was facing started to move back. She thought that her mind was playing tricks on her but the lockers continued to move back. Once the lockers had moved back far enough they slid to the side. As the lockers slid aside she saw the same boy that had ran down the halls her first day here. He had evidently found some new clothes since he wasn't naked anymore. He had short blond hair, blue eyes, and a medium build. He smiled and said "Come with me if you want to live."
