*Lukes P.O.V*

I sit in my bed and wait for Liam to fall asleep, which happened pretty quickly. I yawn and stretch, and just contemplate staying in bed to actually get a proper nights sleep and go investigate tomorrow. 

That idea seems more and more appealing the longer I stay laying down on my bed.

I feel my eyelids getting heavier and heavier as I lay, staring at the white ceiling.

It would be nice to paint that. I think.

I decide that investigating can wait until tomorrow, and finally give into unconsciousness.

The fire engines arrive at the burning building, as I just stand there, in complete shock.

Mushroom has already run off, quite a while ago.

I just stand there helpless as I watch my whole childhood burn to the ground. The place which held so many memories.

I barely remember the ambulances bringing me to the hospital for a check up.

The only thing I can really feel is guilt and loneliness.

My eyes shoot open to a beeping sound and I turn around to see that is my alarm clock that's making that dreadful noise.

I wake Liam up and we go to our lessons as per normal.

Nothing really interesting happened, as I wait for the end of the day to come around so I can go and investigate the woods, as I fell asleep last night.

Finally the end of the school day comes around, and I go and find Liam, seeing as how much he wanted to act Sherlock, and investigate the whole hand fiasco.

I find him chatting to Andrea by the canteen.

"Hey Liam!" I say

"Oh hiya Luke, Andrea was just saying the she was holding a party on Sunday night and said that both of us can come! That is if you want to?" He asks.

"Yea sure. I can go" I say.

"Yay! Ok Andrea. Imma go now and speak to Luke. See you around!"

"Bye Liam!" She calls as I walk him out of the door.

"So what did you want?" He asks.

"I was wondering if you wanted to come and investigate the woods with me?" I ask.

"Aw yiiissss. Finally you ask me!" He says.

"Yup, now are you coming or not?"

"Yea Yea I'm coming, wait up!" He calls.

We then walk into the woods and keep walking until we reach the place that the hand was originally discovered.

"Ok so you search over by the bush, and I'll search over here!" Liam proclaims, before walking over to by the trees.

I walk over to the bush and start checking around it to see if I can find anything.

I cautiously part the leaves and glance into the bush. I don't see anything at first, but then feel a wet drip on my hand.

I instantly recoil it, and slowly open my eyes to look at it.

There was a red stain on my hand. 

I slowly part the leaves again and look inside for the source of the blood.

Nothing

Just a pool of blood.

But then something catches my eye.

Skin.

I lift my head up to see it, and have to bite back a scream, ad I see an arm, with blood pouring out of it.

I see a maggot crawling out of it, and that was the final straw for me. I let out a blood curdling scream, and Liam looks at me strangely.

"What did you find?" He asks.

I say nothing and simply point towards the arm.

"What theres nothi-" he cuts himself off with a scream.

He glances at the arm, and then back at me, before grabbing my wrist and sprinting back towards the school.

I run with him, and we keep running until we get back to the dormitories.

He pushes me inside and locks the door, and then looks at me with wide eyes, filled with panic.

"Did you seeee it?" He asks suddenly.

"The arm?" I ask.

"N..no..." he says.

"What?"

"I saw something nice in the bush behind it"

"What?!" I say.

"Yea, so, naturally, I got scared and ran away from it,  thinking it was the murderer or something, but it was probably just a bird and I overreacted because I say the arm as well and and an-"

I cut him off.

"Woah there Liam. Breathe!  It was probably just a bird, calm down."

"Ok ok. I'm sorry Luke, I just got really scared!" He said.

"It's ok, hush. Take deep breaths. I'm going to be in the bathroom if you need me."

"NO!  Don't leave me! What if it really was the murdered and they come and get me while your not here?!?!"

"You can come with me if you want. All I'm going to do is wash the blood off my hands."

"Ok I will!" He says determinedly.

We both walk into the bathroom and I scrub the blood off my hand.

I throw up a tiny bit in my mouth at the memory of the arm, and maggot wriggling out of it.

Liam just kind of sits there on the toilet seat and I feel bad for him. It's my fault he had been scarred like that.

"Hey are you ok? I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought you with me." I say.

"It's fine Luke. I was the one who wanted to come in the first place." He says.

"If you sure then" I say.

We then walk down and eat some dinner, before walking back up to bed, and falling asleep uneasily.
