Chapter four
When I woke up, my friends were gathered around my bed. Even Kylo, Colton, Ethan, and Hunter.
"Are you okay, Makayla?" Kylo asked in a hushed voice.
"No, my head hurts. What happened?"
"I don't know, but I heard you scream and when I came to check to see if you're okay, you passed out," Kylo explained.
"Of course."
"He ran and got us. He told us that you passed out and wasn't moving," explained Hunter.
I laid my head down and closed my eyes for a bit. I can't remember what happened. All I remember was walking back from the front and that was it.
"How long have I been out."
"Three hours. We were starting to get worried that you weren't going to wake up." Samantha said
"What time is it?"
"6:30pm."
"You hungry?"
"No. Not really."
"We'll leave you to rest, then. See you in the morning, maybe."
They left me. All alone, in the room. So quiet here. I closed my eyes and rested. Hopefully in the morning I'll feel better.
In the middle of the night, I woke up. For some reason I couldn't sleep. I felt better, I was very thirsty I got up and went to the food room to get some water. Just walking through the dark, quiet, empty school makes me feel so lonely. Who knows what could be lurking around. I ended up in the food room. I turned on the lights and grabbed fresh water from the fridge. I turned off the lights and left. I went out the pod doors and I heard that screaming from the music room. I usually would walk away from these types of things, but I wanted to see what was making that sound.
I walked right up to the door, and listened to the sound, and I turned the knob.
"I wouldn't go in there if I were you."
I turned around and found the murderer standing right behind me, light flashing my way.
"What you doing up at this time of night, again? Let me guess, couldn't sleep?"
"Yup, I couldn't sleep. Do you know what's behind this door? Since Evan and Andrew died there, I have been hearing things there."
"I don't know what's in there, but I know it's something no person should see, not even me. Let's go and get you back to bed."
"I'm not tired."
"You're not?"
"No."
"Well . . . what else are you gonna do while up? Go outside and talk?"
"Sure."
"I was kidding but okay, if you want to."
"Sure." I said.
We walked out into the dark, quiet night, together alone. At first I felt quite uncomfortable, but then I relaxed a bit and got comfortable.
We just sat on the hill for a bit quietly. Not one of us said a word, then he said, "So, what do you like to do for fun?"
"I like to dance. I'm a dancer. You?"
"I like to hang out with my friends or my family."
"You've got friends?"
"Um . . . yeah."
"Ok. Um... what's your favorite animal?"
"I like dolphins. You?"
"Wolves."
We just sat there talking about each other. Knowing what we like to do. It's amazing to know the murderer who has a bit of a softer side.
"What's your name?"
"Makayla. What do you want me to call you, or do you prefer murderer?"
"You can call me killer."
"Ok killer."
I laid down on the grass resting my head, while he sat up looking into the night. I look up at him, so tall and dark. He blends into the night sky. I wish I knew who he was under the clothing. He looks straight ahead while I'm looking right at him.
"So."
"So what?"
"I don't even know." I don't know what to say anymore. I yawn and he notices. He rubs his hand on my head and moves my hair out of my face, and realizes that I'm falling asleep. I notice that I'm falling asleep.
"You should probably go to bed now."
I agree and I get up and start walking, but I'm so tired that I can't even walk straight.
"Here, let me help you."
He takes my waist and helps be back to my room. Once we got there, he helped me lay down and I fell asleep instantly. What I remember him saying before I fell into dreamland was goodnight.
In the morning when I woke up, it was daylight. I checked to see what time it was and it was 10:00am. I thought to myself if I was dreaming when I was talking to the killer, or if it was real. I'm so confused. I have my water from last night, so it must've been real. I took a sip of it and went to see who's up. So far no one. I wonder where everyone went. I had passed the music room, the noise was back. I went up to the door so I could open it, then I think back of the killer said, I wouldn't go in there if I were you. I don't know what's in there, but I know it's something no person should see, not even me. I let go of the handle and moved on. I wandered around and went to the foods room, only to find Elaina and Kylo in there talking quietly to each other. I went in and they both looked over at me.
"Hey how are you feeling?" Elaina asked quietly.
"Better. Where is everyone?"
"Well, Samantha, Harper, Autumn, Quinn, and Ellie went outside in the front, Aria and Grace are somewhere, Easton is in his room crying, Hunter, Carter, Colton, Ian, Gurpreet, and Ethan are in the transfer," explained Kylo.
"Oh, what about Jacob?"
"He died a gruesome death," replied Elaina.
"Aww, poor kid, but you know what, I didn't like him. He was very annoying anyways."
"Agreed."
"Do I wanna know how he died?"
"No. It's way worse than any other death." Kylo said.
I walked over to get some breakfast. I was starving. I only had cereal. I sat down beside them and just listened. There wasn't very much to say anyways.
I took off after I sat with them, to see if I could find anyone else. I couldn't find anyone else. Instead, I went back to my room, grabbed my phone and earphones and went outside. I laid on the hill where the killer and I sat last night. As I was listening to my music, I was thinking about what happened the night before. I swore it was real but at the same time, I feel like it was a dream.
I couldn't stop thinking about it. I wanted to see him again. The first night we met, I was scared to death, but the second night I was fine, uncomfortable at first but fine. I don't want to think about it anymore, so I started to sing the end of Americano and closed my eyes.
I opened my eyes and the sun was shining right at me. It's blinding as I sat up and looked at the time. It's 2:15 pm. I looked around and there he was. The killer beside me.
"Hey. What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be coming at night?"
No answer. He was staring into space. "Hello, earth to killer?" I said and waved at his face.
Again, no answer. I looked into his direction. A person who is tied up and getting cut with axes and knives. I felt bad for the person, until I realized that's Elaina! I started to tear up and yell at the other mafias, that's not the night killer, to stop but they wouldn't. I started running to get them but the killer held onto me.
"Shh, Makayla. It's ok." he told me. He covered my mouth and held me really tight to where I couldn't breath. "Shh. It's ok. She's alive. Wake up, wake up."
I bolted awake screaming. I looked around and he wasn't there nor Elaina dying. I had a terrible nightmare. I checked the time, 2:20pm. I got up and ran for the school to get away from the hill.
I wrapped myself in my blanket and laid there. Ever since I stayed here, I have been having nightmares, not being able to sleep, and people dying. I layed there for about two hours reading my book. It was supper time and I went to eat with the others. We all agreed after dinner, we would go to our rooms early and make sure that we lock our doors so that hopefully we don't die.
I was just heading back from the washroom to get into bed and fall asleep.
Later that night, I woke up hearing a scream so loud, that it sounded like it was outside my door. I opened my door and, "Oh my god!"
