I found Ellie on the ground with a cut in her leg. A huge one that's bleeding. She's dying of blood loss. I ran and yelled help and Hunter, Elaina, Samantha and Colton came to help. I grabbed a lot of paper towels and held them down on her leg. The blood is rushing out and there's a puddle of blood on the ground and all over us. Colton went to grab the first aid kit in the office. Ellie was going to die this morning. Another one gone. I went to grab her some food but all I could find was a cookie. I grabbed one and went to give it to her. She ate it very slowly, until it was gone. She said her last few words, "Tell my friends and family... that I love them." She took her last breath, then there was no more.

Another one gone. One by one, people are dying. Every day and night. One person is gone. Five people have died so far. Hunter went to grab the blanket, and both Colton and him lifted her onto it, wrapped her up and left to dump her. Instead of weeping for poor Ellie, I thought of how Easton is still alive. Ethan came down from the gym and he was huffing and puffing for breath and asked,"Why is there a puddle of blood on the ground?"

"Ellie died two minutes ago. Hunter and Colton went to take her out to the dump where the rest of the bodies are." explained Elaina.

"Aww, poor Ellie. Well it's the circle of life. Everyone dies at some point in their life."

Why are you out of breath?" Samantha asked.

"I---"

"Ethan! Where are you?!" Kylo yells. "Ahh there you are."

He's there coming from the front office and we all look at him while Ethan starts to run. Of course, Kylo catches up to him and he knocks him onto the ground.

"Why did you do that?"

"I'm sorry Kylo, don't kill me. I'll make it up to you."

"Oh you better."

"What did he do, Kylo?" I asked why he was torturing poor Ethan, unless he did something wrong. "He tried to hurt me because he thinks I'm the killer."

"So, you're hurting him because he thinks you're the killer." 

"Yes, pretty much."

"Ok, you had your fun. Time to get off of him," I say. He didn't get off of him, so Elaina, Samantha and I had to pull Kylo off of Ethan, and he backed up. He started to go after him again and Elaina and I had to hold his arms. Of course I was too weak, so Samantha had to pull on the arm I was pulling. We had to drag him away to the blue pod and sit him down at one of the chairs and nailed him down. Hunter and Colton came to see what was the commotion.

"Why are you holding down Kylo?" Colton asked, pointing at him. "He tried to kill Ethan as usual, but this time Ethan thought he was the murderer and set a trap to catch him," explained Elaina. "I'm sure he didn't mean to so you can let him go."

We let him go and he didn't start running after him, but stared at us like we were crazy.

"So, you goin' now?" I ask in a sarcastic tone. He glanced my way and stared me down like I'm his prey. "What?" I say. "Nothing." he replied very casually and carried on as if it never happened. He walked away and said, "I'm going to do my own thing."

I left them and once I was out of their sight, I ran to Kylo. I saw him and he knew I was coming at him.

"Why were you staring at me like that?" 

"Why are you following me?"

He never answered my question and I never answered his.

"What's wrong." I cut him off and stopped. "Hello."

He kept that creepy glare on me and I had chills running down my spine. I was sure something's up.

"Hello. He-"

''Look, Makayla. Nothing's wrong." Kylo interrupted.

He kept on moving. He opened the door and before he went in, he said this, "you know something's up do you? Well there is. One day you will figure it out and then you'll know what's bothering me."

He went in and closed the doors. I went up quietly to his door to listen. Then out of nowhere. I heard voices. Kylo's and someone else. It sounded so familiar. I remember whose voice that is. I think back to that night where the killer is talking to his boss in the music room after Evan and Andrew died. But then I realized that he's talking on the phone and I can hear the voice on the other end of the line. I wondered what they're saying.

"Yeah, ok. So tonight then?" There was a pause. "Ok, then. See you tonight." then I realized it was my imagination. It wasn't the killer's boss. I kept on moving, minding my own business. I was so bored. I headed outside for some fresh air. The wind blew my hair around, and in my face. Hearing the wind makes me feel free. I walked around the field feeling lonely. Quinn comes out and starts toward me.

"Hey. What are you doing?" I yell at her. "Nothing." she yells back. She starts jogging towards me and we both go walking around the field together, talking about Ellie's death.

"She died this morning."

"How did she die?"

"Blood loss in her leg."

"Poor girl. Hey good news is that we're still alive and the same with the others."

"Who do you think's going to die tonight?" I wondered if she might have the same people as me. 

"Easton and Grace. You?"

"Same here."

Hopefully they will die tonight. I don't want them around any longer then they have to. We're heading back to school to get some lunch. We headed into the school from the portable doors and headed to the green pod. Quinn left me to grab something from the blue pod. I headed into the food room and saw Kylo reading his Ipad, legs on the edge of the table, reading or whatever he does with his drink. I walked in quietly, grabbed what I wanted to eat and started to leave but he caught me.

"So, what's up?" I didn't answer his question, but stared at him. He looked up to see why I wasn't answering. "Come here." he said, waving his hand to come to him. I put my food down and sat with him. Just stared. He didn't say anything but just stared at me.

"Look, Makayla. You seem quiet. Quieter than usual, and it bothers me. You ok? It's like you're hiding something from us. Whenever we mention the killer, I see you and you straighten your back and go completely silent. No breathing or anything. You look around the room to see if any one is noticing you and no one is, but me. Your face turns red and starts to sweat."

"Yup. I'm alright. Nothing's wrong with me. Haha. Nothing is wrong." I talk so fast that I don't even know what I was saying. The sweat rolling down my face, my palms were sweating, blood rushing to my face and I stared into Kylo. I could feel his stare into me. My breathing became really heavy and I could hear it and I'm sure that he could hear it too. I was going stiff. He's right, I am hiding something. Something so precious that I couldn't risk saying out loud. I don't want him to know that I met the killer at night, because then the killer would parish me.

Trusting Kylo would be a huge mistake. He still kept staring at me waiting for an answer. An answer that would tell him that there is something. "Kylo. I'm not hiding anything from anyone." At that point I loosened up. He knew I was hiding something and didn't like it.

"Hmm?" 

"I'm telling the truth." I'm telling lies. I couldn't stand him looking at me like that. I stood up and started to leave but he caught up to me and held my hand, which moved to my wrist once he noticed. He pulled me in so close that we were at a point we were touching. Wrapping my arms around his back while he held my head with his hands and whispered, "you can tell me anything. I promise I won't say a word to anyone."

I leaned my head on his chest and just stayed that way for a while. I closed my eyes for a bit, opened them feeling weird and said, "I'm sorry, Kylo. I can't tell. It's not you I trust. It's myself."

Apparently he knew what I was saying. He hugged me tight. So tight I was at the point where I couldn't breath almost. He let me go but his hand was linked to mine. He wrapped his fingers around mine gently. I came with him into the room, shut the door and yanked me to the wall. "Whatever you're doing, please stop. I don't feel comfortable."

His arms were against the wall. "Do you hear noises at night or wake up in the middle of the night and see someone dressed in black? If you do tell me now." He's scaring me but, I believe he wants the truth and wants it now. "Yes, why?" 

"Because I see the same thing as you are."

I wasn't expecting this. Our conversation took a turn and it scared me. I don't know if this is a joke to him or this is serious, but I don't like it either way. And all of a sudden he kissed me on the forehead, like I was his girlfriend or something. The feel of his warm lips on my forehead feels nice, but I don't know what's with him.

"Sorry. I don't know what got into me." The look in his eyes is scary. I wrapped my arms around his neck and started to rock. We touched head to head and rocked together. His hands are on my waist. 

"You can tell me what or who you see at night." That jerked me up and it didn't surprise him. He knew what I did at night. I have the feeling he watches me at night. I bit my lip really hard that I tasted blood. His hand goes to my cheek and brushes it with his fingertips. I thought it was a dream but it wasn't. The breath of his on me, the warmth of his body close to mine. I closed my eyes for two minutes, open my eyes and there he was, the killer. He pulled out a knife and stabbed me in the throat.

I bolted awake immediately, touching myself to see if I'm alive. Sweat is dripping all over me. Kylo is right there beside me, his arms wrapped around my back, leaning against the wall. I'm panting real hard like I just ran a marathon.

"Hey are you ok?"

"Yes . . . just a nightmare."

"You fell asleep on me and I didn't want to wake, and I definitely couldn't carry you to your room, no offence."

"None taken."

"You wanna talk about it?"

"No."

I leaned my head on his chest and hugged him as tight as I can and it doesn't hurt him a bit.

"What time is it?"

"It's....3:16."

"Thanks." I went to grab my lunch and left him alone. He went back to the table he was sitting at and continued to what he was doing. I went to my room layed on the bed and ate while watching youtube. Instead of paying attention to the videos, I've been thinking about what I've dreamed when I fell asleep on Kylo. It felt so real though. I sat in my room for about two hours then I left. I take my plate back to the food room. Once I got there, Hunter, Colton and Ian were talking. I casually walked in, put my plate in the sink and left. However they do notice me, but they didn't say hello. Just took a glance and back at each other.

I walk silently down the hall when I see Elaina and Harper together. They said hi and left it at that. I continued walking down and no one else was to be seen.

Later that day, it was dinner time. We got our dinner, which was ham, mashed potatoes with gravy, and carrots, we sat down with our friends and chatted. I was silent for most of it. I just agreed or nodded off what they said. As I finished my dinner, everyone else was either almost done or done. I took my plate over to the sink and left. I headed outside for the remainder of the evening. I had my phone and earbuds with me so I took them out and listened to music. I played games on my phone.

When I checked the time later on, it was 7:43. It was getting dark out and I headed inside. When I get inside, all I see is Gurpreet beating Ethan. Poor Ethan, always getting beaten up. I continued to my room and closed the door. I slid down on a sitting position, my back to the door. I wonder who's going to die tonight? Let's just hope it's Easton. I hear screaming from the hallway. Not the type of screaming when someone's dying, but the sound of screaming when someone is getting beaten up and running away for their lives. I listen to the sound of it. Oh boy it's music to my ears, I think sarcastically.

I read for the remainder of the night. At 9:05 I get ready and head off to bed for a good night's sleep.
