Chapter six
We ran out of the gym and found her in the middle of the hallway, she was bleeding badly.
"OH MY GOD!" I scream. I fall to my knees, hug myself and burst into tears. One of my other friends is gone. "Not Autumn! Not poor Autumn," I cry. Kylo comes running down to see what's going on. "What happ- woah."
"Autumn got stabbed." answered Hunter.
"Whoever did this to her, is going to die." threatened Harper. "Harper, Makayla come here" Autumn said in her dying breath. We both admittedly rushed to her side, "I don't want to die" she said gasping for air. "Go get a blanket Hunter!" shouted Harper "We can still save her!" Autumn just smiled and said, "when I die put me in the forest"
"Don't say that!" Hunter came rushing in with a blanket and wrapped it around her wound. He held it tight there and took off his belt and wrapped it tightly around her above her wound. Then he said "Makayla go to the office and see if there is anything to close up the wound!" As I came back Autumn was paler than a ghost and the blanket was stained with blood. I had not found much only, not a needle and thread either. I came back telling them there's nothing at all. Hunter grabbed her wrist. He frowned. "She is only pumping 10 per minute, I doubt she's going to live."
"I . . . know who . . . the killer is."
"Who Autumn?" She breathed her last breath, then she's gone. All of us friends grieved for her. Hunter and Kylo wrapped her up and took her to the dumpster.
"I didn't know that the murderer is killing in day time. I thought it killed at night when everyone is asleep." I say confused and sad. "Well the murderer did it pretty fast because he didn't have much time." Kylo said. "You're right. The killer must know that with her screaming, people would be coming. So what it must have done was stabbed Autumn quickly and then ran away so no one could find it." explained Hunter.
Kylo and Hunter grabbed a blanket to wrap her up and took her back to her room. Elaina, Ellie, Jacob, Easton. Ethan, Grace, Gurpreet, Isaac, Colton, Ian and Samantha came to see what happened and why there was a scream. Harper told them that Autumn just got stabbed and that Killer is among us. We had our suspicions that someone near here or her stabbed her.
Once Kylo and Hunter came back, we continued to do what we were doing. All we know is one, the murderer is among us and second, that he's a psychopath. I'm sure he's not going to kill tonight, but if he does I wonder who it'll be.
The game lasted about an hour after that and the score became 12-10. Guess who won? Yeah you guessed it, Kylo did. It was a pretty close score. They both relaxed on the bleachers talking quietly. I laid my head down on the table and tears sprung to my eyes.
"It's going to be ok, Makayla. I will find out who's killing our friends and get my revenge. I will kill them."
"Thanks Harper." We both got up and left the gym. I headed back to my room alone and laid in bed with my book to read. I couldn't think of anything else that was on my mind. I finished my book and had nothing else to do, so I checked my phone and it was only 4:27 pm. I was starving, so I went to the food room to grab something. When I got there, I found Kylo all alone on his Ipad. I wasn't paying any attention when I tripped on the chair and almost fell. He looked up from his Ipad and stared at me. "Are you ok?"
"Yes. I wasn't paying attention."
"I could see that."
"I didn't mean to disturb you."
"It's fine. I had nothing better to do." He placed his Ipad on the table and got up. "You hungry? I can make you something."
"Thanks, Kylo. But I can make it myself."
"You sure because I saw you curled up on the ground earlier."
"Yup, I'm sure."
"Ok, then."
I walk over and see what's for dinner. There's absolutely nothing to eat.
"Did you have anything to eat?" Curious if he took the last thing. "No, why?"
"There's nothing here."
"Are you sure because there was leftover pizza somewhere."
He came to look and his face lit up. "I swore there was pizza here. Guess not. Sorry."
My stomach hurts. I need something there. I hold my stomach and start to walk to the other fridges. "I've already checked those earlier. This fridge was the only one that had food in it. Hey, I might have something for you. Come with me."
I followed him out of the pod and into the purple pod. We were heading into his room. I've never seen his room before. His suitcase is on the ledge and he sleeps on the couch. His room is so much neater than mine. He pulled out something from the cupboard and gave it to me.
"I was saving it for an emergency for me, but I don't really need it. Here you can have it."
"You sure, I don't want to take the sandwich if it's yours."
"It's fine Makayla. There's nothing left, you're hungry, besides I can always make a new one."
"Thanks Kylo, I'll pay you ba-"
"No you don't. Know you better eat it or else someone is going to fight you for it." He interrupted.
"How old is this?"
"I made it this morning. So It's fresh, plus I have an Ice package in here."
"Ok bye and thanks."
"Bye and your welcome."
I'm so grateful that he had something for me. I headed straight to my room and ate it as soon as I could. I ate the sandwich quickly but not too fast where I choke. I have to pay him back no matter what he says. I know people that they say they don't want anything in return, but some people do want things in return. I don't know what he likes or wants so I'll have to figure it out.
Once I finish, my stomach feels better, I go and wander around for a bit to see what or who I can find. I made it to the hallway where Autumn got stabbed, so I went through the gym. I found no one. I passed the Library and in the corner of my eye, I saw Kylo reading. I decided that if I couldn't find anyone else, then I'll go to him. It's just that I don't want to disturb him. He looks so peaceful, sitting there not moving in the rocking chair. I can't disturb him now. Continuing to walk, I find no one in sight. I know I told myself that if I couldn't find anyone, I'll go to him. After looking at him I can't. So I just continue on and I hear a voice.
"Hey, what's up?"
I turned around and it's Quinn.
"Hey, nothing really and you?"
"Nothing. Anyways I got to go now. Bye"
"Bye."
She left and it's just me. I headed back to the library to see Kylo. I go in and he's there reading silently. I think for a second and leave. But before I could close the door he said, "you can come in." Kylo's reading, how did he know that I was here. I go in and crouch beside him.
"How did you know that I was here?"
He looked over at me and said, "I know things. Plus, you're lonely all the time. And you almost lost your friend, so I assumed so."
"Oh."
"Grab a chair and come sit with me." I did as he said and leaned on the arm of the chair. He's rocking the chair slowly. "Did you like the sandwich?"
"Yeah I did. Again thank you so much."
"No problem. You needed it more than I did."
For some odd reason, I have a suspicion that Kylo is the killer. I started to laugh.
"What? Why are you laughing?"
"For a second, I believed that you would be the killer. How insane would that be?"
"Yeah, insane." He starts laughing with me. He kept on reading and I just read off of his ipad. Ever so often I would stop and look up at him for about two seconds then look down before he notices.
We've stayed like this for a while, then let me go and get up.
"You coming, or you staying here alone?"
"I'm . . . umm . . . coming." I get up and we go out and walk around the school together. We ended up in the gym sitting on the bleachers. We talked for a long time, then it was time to get ready for bed. I stayed up and decided to read. I didn't have a book and none of the books on the shelf of the class look good. So I went to the library to pick out a book. I got a horror book and brought it back to my room and I started reading. I didn't get very far. I got to page twenty two then I had to stop so I could go to bed early. I closed my eyes and fell asleep instantly.
In the middle of the night, I got woken up by the killer. He carefully shook me awake. When I opened my eyes he was right there staring at me. I got up in two minutes and we started off. He put his arm around my neck so I can keep steady. "Where are we going?"
"We are going to the rooftop of the school." I looked at him like he was crazy. "I don't know if I can do it. If you didn't know I'm scared of heights."
"Don't worry, I thought so, that's why I'm going to help you."
At this point I'm wide awake. The killer pulled down a ladder leading up to the roof. He climbed up to get to the portable roof. I climbed after he got to the top, he grabbed my hand to pull me up and I jumped back from the edge. After, he hopped onto the roof of the actual school. He sat on the ledge and grabbed my hand and pulled me. I grabbed onto his waist and held there for a bit. I gulped. "You are terrified of heights. Why's that?"
"Scared of falling for my life."
"I won't let you fall. Don't worry."
He carried onto the roof all the way to the edge. I walked up to him and looked over at the ground. My stomach felt queasy. "How are you not scared of heights?" I ask. "I don't know. Guess I'm just not. Come here." I came to him and he pulled me in tight and wrapped his arms around my waist. "Listen. What do you hear?" he whispered. "I hear the wind, the quietness of the night as in no cars or people, and your breathing." he chuckled a little. I hung onto him for dear life. We're two centimeters away from the edge. I feel his head rested on mine. I feel his grip loosen and I get scared. He moves to sit on the edge and he pulls me down lightly so I don't lose my balance. The killer pulls me in so I can lean on him and enjoy it.
"It's wonderful." I say. "Isn't it?" I look up at him and he's focused in the night sky. The arm that's around my waist rubs my side, and he moves it up to my head and rubs. It's not weird or anything. My hand ends up on his chest. His other arm comes to my hand on his chest and holds it. He can tell my hand was cold, so he pulled my hand to his face, pulled down his bacalva, and blew warm air into it. "Uhh, so nice."
"Isn't it?"
"Yeah."
Eventually, he lets me go, pulling up his bacalva as I sit up. Staring into the night, I caught something with my eye. Looks like a light in the far distance. "What's that light over there in the distance, straight ahead?"
"Um . . . I don't know. Never seen it."
"You have been staring off into the distance."
"I know, but I've never seen it there." We just ignored the light after that. The killer leans back and pulls me with him. I lay my head on his shoulder and soften up. He wrapped his arm around my arm. I closed my eyes for a few minutes. He buried his face into my head, as he softened up too. As I layed on him, he pulled my hood over my head, pulled me up to his face, and spoke, "How comfortable is this?"
"Really."
"Anyways, I think It's time to get you back to bed."
"Really? I was just getting comfortable."
"Tomorrow night we can do it again."
"Sure."
We got up and headed down onto the ladder. We both climb down and he takes me to my room.
"Thank you."
"Your welcome."
"How did you know where my room was?"
"I just know."
"Goodnight."
"Night."
Once I'm up, I'm up. So it took me twenty minutes to fall asleep. I got woken up by a scream. I checked the time, it was 10:38 am. I slept in! I ran to see what was the commotion. I ran to see where the screaming came from. It continued, but where was it coming from? It happened again, but this time it came closer. I turned around and I found the person that was screaming on the ground hurt.
