Third Person 's POV

Clockwork was walking through the halls, thinking who would be taken next. We never really know. It could be you. Or  worse.

She sighed. She kept thinking about all the other students taken, and who could be next. She was on her way to the gym, when she heard a faint cry that comes from the school's swamp. She quickly his behind the thick roots of the tree and peeked at who could be crying.

Hey. It's Jeff the Killer's sister. She thought.

Having pity at the girl, she went to sit beside her and pat her back. Jane winced at her touch but then relaxed when she saw that it was just the new girl.

"What's wrong?" Clockwork asked.

"Th-the girl in the pi-picture is... Alice." Jane answered. This received a horrible gasp from Clockwork.

"Oh my God, I'm sorry about that. I really am. I would also be weeping like you if Jill was also taken."

Jane sniffed, "How would you know? I barely even know you yet you already act like you've been here as long as I did! " She snapped, the anger and frustration clouding her mind making her oblivious to what she was saying.

Clockwork sighed, "I've been here long enough to know and imagine the pain you must've good through. " She scooted closer to the girl, "You're not the only one with a best friend. I'd be terrified if I'd lost Jill too. "

After minutes of silence, Jane finally stopped crying. She thought that if she were to trust Clockwork, either she'll tell the whole school or just laugh at her absolute weakness; Alice.

"Can I tell you something?" Jane asked, finally facing Clockwork.

"Of course. You can tell me anything." She replied.

"I...I'm just afraid that since your new, I couldn't trust you." Jane whispered, looking away.

"Look Jane, I may not know you very much, but you can trust me. Anyway, I know I wouldn't be able to replace your two best friends but can we at least be friends?" She stated. Jane nodded and Clockwork smiled. They then shared a hug.

Jane always liked this girl with a strange eye to be her friend, but she's too heartbroken that her two best friends were taken that she never understood her will to be friends with Clockwork.

"I'm  actually afraid right now. Terrified maybe. Both my friends are  taken. I may be next. The most excruciating part is that the last thing Red and I ever did is argue. I am afraid right now actually, " She whispered, looking up.

"I am also afraid Jane. Jill and I are killing partners and I would break down if she's taken. Or worse, me." Clockwork stated.

They were in deep silence, not awkward silence but a comforting one. The thought of Jill missing would hurt Clockwork like somebody broke her eye.

When suddenly, "Attack! There's been an attack! Come on!" Somebody yelled. Both their heads snapped to the yelling and looked at each other with confused and worried looks. The rest of the students panicked, running around eager to get to their dormitories. When the hallways were cleared, they saw Slenderman and the three witches rushing to go to the area where the attack was spotted.

They both ran opposite from the other killers who were headed to their dorms and followed Slenderman and three other witches. Seems that Jeff, Laughing Jack, and Masky were also there, sneaking. Jane shot Jeff a death glare and Jeff returned it.

"It's the same dagger that may attacked Alice Liddell." One said. The five of them snapped their heads at Death.

"Could it be the mere owner of the dagger behind these... attacks?" Love hissed worriedly.

"That may or may not be true." Slenderman stated.

"So who has been taken Slender?" Peace asked.

Slenderman sighed. "TicciToby and Laughing Jill."

Clockwork and Jack flinched. Clockwork covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming, but Jack couldn't help it.

"That's my sister and my best friend!!" he yelled and went out of their hiding place. He completely ignored the protests of his friends. Slenderman and the witches felt guilty for they did not act sooner.

"You have to solve and catch the culprit behind these attacks!" Laughing Jack kept yelling, pulling his hair in a frustrated manner.

"The five of you. In my office. Now." Slender man instructed.

"Great going man," Masky joked and Jeff nudged his shoulder.

"Shut the hell up." Jeff hissed. Clockwork and Jane exchanged looks and carefully followed them.

*~*

"Do you know whose dagger is this." Slender said as he dropped the dagger on his table.

Jane gasped. "S-sir, where did you get that?"

"This young lady, is the one holding Miss Alice Liddell's picture at the day she was attacked." Death sneered.

"Do you know whom the knife belonged to?" Love asked kindly after nudging Death for her rude remark.

However, Jane looked startled and couldn't believe the bloodied iron object in front of her. She couldn't speak, she was paler than she was before and she was in a loss for words.

"Jane the killer, " Peace stated, "I can sense disbelief in your features. Do you or do you not know whom this knife belongs to? "

Again, she didn't answer.

Slenderman let out a frustrated grunt, "It's a student isn't it? The culprit's a student here? "

No, it couldn't be. She wouldn't! Jane thought.

Finally, she regained her soul back and with utter disbelief she answered, "I-it's Red Lily's."
