Chapter 7: Taken

//There will be a warning up ahead//

A few weeks had passed and things were finally looking up. The school's events to fund the school did better than expected and already met the goal for the expenses. This meant more field trips and lots of fun activities for classes.

This wasn't the only good news. Baldi and the principal had gone on plenty more dates and avoided getting drunk again. They were finally getting along more and more.

It was the middle of the day on a Thursday, and Baldi and his students were playing a few games of math on Kahoot! and some online quizzes. It would give him and the children a break from hard math work and help them study for their upcoming midterm test.

While the students played the game on their devices, he saw a student officer open the classroom door. The math teacher paused the game so they could speak.

"M-Mr. Baldi? The principal. H-he wants you i-in his office." The student stuttered out, seeming afraid of something. But what? Surely not him.

"I'll be there. Hold on." Baldi said. He caught one of his student's attention. "Can you keep the game going while I'm gone? I promise you'll get something special."

The student nodded excitedly, and took the teacher's seat after he left. The student officer waited outside. Baldi closed the door behind him and turned to face the student. "S-sir?" The student stammered.

"Is there a reason he sent you and not just call me himself?" Baldi asked, feeling skeptical about this. The student looked petrified.

"I'm sorry." They said. Someone grabbed the math teacher from behind, restraining his arms. They then clasped their hand over his mouth. The student looked beyond terrified.

"Miss me?" They said into his ear. Baldi recognized the voice. The science teacher. He struggled against the man's grasp, but it was useless. He looked at the student officer again to see the janitor there holding his broom so the student couldn't escape.

He then realized they made the student do this. Baldi tried to yell at the man out of anger, seeing as how frustrating it was. But he could only made muffled noises against the science teacher's hold.

"Do we need the kid anymore, File?" The janitor questioned, nudging the edge of the broomstick against the kid's head. It became clear now that the man holding Baldi was indeed Filename 2.

File made a weird glitchy noise, and then chuckled. "No. Knock 'em out. I don't want my plan ruined."

Baldi became furious and broke free of File's mouth hold. "NO DON'T YOU DARE HURT THEM!" The math teacher shouted, trying to struggle against him. Maybe he'd be heard by his students in class. But File only huffed at this and pushed the teacher down to the ground.

"You heard the man." The janitor said, holding the terrified kid's still.

//OK warning, this is where shit gets intense. There will be blood, gore, torture, and other things relating. If you are sensitive and/or squeamish to this, I suggest skipping the rest of this part.

Thank you for understanding.//

"No please I don't wanna—" But before the student officer could finish, the Janitor had knocked them out cold with the broom.

When Baldi looked, he saw the student officer laying motionless, a clear injury on the side of their head where blood was. The Janitor then turned to a nearby wall where a firealarm was and pulled it, causing the alarm to go off and a panic to happen across the school.

"Lets ))://)) go before it's too late." File called over the alarm. He grabbed the math teacher's head, and pressed down. Baldi felt his vision go foggy and everything faded from view.

The principal was fiddling with a small velvet box when he heard the fire alarm go off.

"Shit..." He said, thinking of the possibilities. Frantically, he scanned the security cameras, to see where it was. He found it and wished it weren't true.

He ran out the door to where it was, hearing a fire alarm go off as he did so. "FILE! LET HIM GO!" The principal yelled, and saw everything that was going on. A student lay unconscious and injured on the floor. An unconscious Baldi was being carried in the janitor's arms, and Filename 2 stood in the way.

Students began to run from out of classrooms as the fire alarm continued. But the ones in the math teacher's classroom stood in utter shock, some screaming and crying at the sights.

"File, it's now or never." The janitor said. At this, File smirked.

"I'll see you later, Kennith." Suddenly, File and the janitor were gone with Baldi in their possession.

<->

My head feels fuzzy. Why is it so dark? These two things popped into the math teacher's mind the moment he woke up. He felt uncomfortable, cold and most of all, felt tired.

"You're awake." Baldi jumped at these words, realizing who they belonged to immediately after.

"Where am I?" Baldi asked, feeling colder now. No response. Instead, he felt someone do something at the back of his head and then remove something from his eyes.

A bright white light came into the bald man's vision, blinding him momentarily. When it cleared, he could see everything, and it terrified him.

His wrists and ankles were strapped down to the table beneath him, making him unable to move those parts. He was also wearing different clothes; a grey shirt and shorts. Baldi could also see a smaller table of various tools off to the side of where he lay.

"No..." It became clear now what they were going to do to him.

"You see, I want something from (::)(( you and Kennith. I knew you'd be easiest to catch." File said, coming in closer to the light so Baldi could see him. "But...I figured, why not )(():): hear a few screams from you first?"

The teacher felt his heart begin to speed up. File walked closer to the table of tools, taking some gloves and putting them over his hands to make them visible. He then grabbed a syringe. "N-no. No no no I-!"

"Oh don't worry. It'll only hurt ():); a lot." At this, File grabbed at the bald man's head, steadying it as best he could. He then jabbed the needle into Baldi's neck, receiving a cry from him. After injecting the substance, he got to work.

He grabbed a knife, bringing the blade up to the math teacher's arm. "No n—"

The blade went in, and the man began to carve something into Baldi's arm. Baldi cried out hard at the pain, feeling the blade squish and turn in odd shapes that felt horrible.

The pain was was becoming worse by the second. With each time the knife came back in, more blood was lost, staining the clothes the bald teacher wore.

"STØP ĮT! PŁĘÅŚĖ!" He screamed, feeling the singeing pain that traveled up his arm.

"Begging already? ))-;(:) How weak of you Baldimore." File said, laughing right after and finishing on the arm. Blood spilled over and sputtered in certain places.

"I çäń't-....." It hurt like hell.

"And to think )(/;:-; I haven't even gotten to the good parts yet...." File said. Hot tears streaked across Baldi's face. How he wished it could stop. "I guess it'll be a start. Sweep."

Out of the shadows, the janitor appeared. "Where do I start?" He asked, smiling at the bald teacher's weak form.

File tossed what looked like a saw to the janitor, who swiped the tool from mid air. He then placed the sharp edge against the bald man's leg.

"No no no płëåšę ŚTØP!" The teacher screamed, feeling as the janitor began to cut into his leg; going to cut it in half. He cried at the overbearing pain.

The teacher felt his voice cut off, having screamed so much. The math teacher was losing his voice quickly. He could only watch in horror as these crazed men cut his leg off. That's when felt the bone in his leg snap. It was so painful that Baldi felt like he was going to throw up or even pass out. He cried with a raspy voice.

Eventually the saw cut through, having cut the limb almost perfectly in half. The janitor seemed to back away into the shadows with the saw in his hand, not seeming to be fazed by what he'd done.

Blood oozed from the wound, creating a large puddle of red liquid that dripped off of the table. Baldi could feel the numbing pain travel its way through his body. He felt like he was going to pass out for sure.

File brought out a pair of scissors and a scalpel. Quickly, he cut the front of the shirt open to reveal the bald man's bare chest. Then he brought the surgical blade close to the open skin.

"N-No no no please! I beg you I'll do anything!" Baldi cried out, regaining his voice. In reality, teacher just wanted to die. He couldn't take the pain anymore. But his thoughts of the principal wanted to keep him alive.

"Anything?" File was intrigued. Anything was a strong word. Baldi caught on, realizing what he just said.

"No not-" But File covered his mouth.

"It's too late now, Baldimore." With this, the glitchy man put the blade in, receiving a muffled scream against his hand. Baldi struggled to breath, feeling the pain as it wracked against his small body.

File started cutting down until it was half way down the stomach line. Putting down the bloody blade, he parted the cleanly cut skin and reached his hand into the open wound.

The teacher felt his vision go foggy. He felt the insane man's hand wrap his fingers around his beating heart. Things in his body suddenly went numb. He could no longer scream, nor longer breath.

Baldi's eyes traveled up to meet with one of File's hands. It held a beating heart. His heart. Bloody veins were still attached to the pumping organ, barely keeping it going.

"How beautiful." Filename 2 said, and then squeezed, letting the heart pop in his hand.

Everything went black.

This was it.

Baldi was dead.

Oh. Oh ok.
Hi again. Author as always.
So that happened. Haha. I'm not as good with those kinds of scenes. (One of my friends asked me to do it ok?) please tell me if there are any mistakes

Anyway, updates might be slow because I'm in school now.
Ok.
See you next time....

Edit from the future (2022):
Hi, so I've been rereading this story and when I came to this chapter I realized something was terribly wrong.

Due to recent events, some things have been changed about this particular chapter involving the scene with the student. I am deeply sorry if the previous version was triggering to anyone. Having been through that myself now, I wouldn't want anyone to have to read that unwillingly. Thank you so much for understanding and I hope that all of you stay safe.
