Chapter three
After what happened last night, I stayed stiff. I didn't know who he was, but at the same time, it felt like a dream. He touched me, he came so close that we could hear each other breathe.
I wanted to tell Elaina so badly but, the words kept repeating over and over again in my head. "Say nothing, you're safe. Say something, and you're dead. I'm always watching."
The words crept on me. I got dressed and headed for the foods lab. I completely forgot my book here. I grabbed my book and ran as fast as I can to deliver it back to my room, then booked it into the green pod. As nervous as I was for someone noticing me acting like this, I gritted my teeth and grabbed some cereal.
I didn't hear any screams last night, so I'm pretty sure that no one died. Yet he said he's already made his kill for that night. I wondered who he killed.
Once I was done, I cleaned up and went to see who he killed. I looked around the green pod first since I was already there. No one died. I went to the purple pod, no one died. I stopped by the music room to see if Evan or Andrew had died. Yes they have.
They were hanging from the ceiling with their bodies cut open. they were hanging from the ceiling with their stomachs cut open with the blood dripping onto the ground. Well only Easton and Jacob left then the people I hate are gone. It scares me to think that the murderer that I saw last night must have done this. Although he was wearing all black, I could make out a few blood stains on his hoodie.
"Hey."
I jumped and looked to see who it was. Kylo.
"Um... hi."
"I see that the murder struct two people last night and left behind a massive mess."
"Yep. I guess he did."
"Did you hear any screaming last night, because I know I didn't."
"No I didn't."
"Not talking much, huh?"
"Yes I guess I'm not."
Kylo was so calm about this, yet the expression on his face makes me suspicious.
"Anyways, want some breakfast? It's on me."
"Thanks, but I've already eaten."
"Ahh."
We stood there for about ten minutes looking at Evan's and Andrew's bodies, just hanging there.
"I wonder why they're just hanging around."
"Haha very funny, Kylo." I say sarcastically.
"Hahaha. Come on that was a very funny joke."
"Alright. I'll admit it was funny." I say smiling.
Once Aria came to meet us at the room, she was surprised and disgusted at it.
"Well, that's the murderer for you."
"That's gross. Makayla. My morning hug."
I gave her a hug and the three of us went back to the food room and talked. Eventually, the others came in and they went to check out the scene. Kylo and Hunter did Evan's body, while Carter and Ethan dealt with Andrew's body. Three people died in two days. That's got to be a world record for a single murderer.
I texted my mother telling her that I'm ok and that Andrew and Evan died. She said sad for them but great for me. I've survived the second night.
I grabbed my earphones, plugged them in my phone and listened to some music. I headed outside for the hill to relax, and get my mind off of what happened.
My mind was fading away from the music that's playing. Listening to Slipped Away from Avril Lavigne, I wondered if I was going to see the murderer again tonight. Probably not. I wonder who he's going to kill tonight. I closed my eyes and just relaxed. Still Alive came on after Slipped Away, and I was singing to my heart contempt. To me, I'm a really good singer, but to others, I don't really sing in front of them because of my shyness, and worried that they would make fun of me or something.
I open my eyes and there is Kylo just sitting there beside me listening. He looked at me confused why I wasn't singing. "Why'd you stop singing? Your voice is beautiful."
"Thanks. I don't like singing when people are around."
"It's just me here. Please?"
"Ok I will. Where do you want me to start?"
"Where you left off."
I continued to sing for Kylo. When I finished, I paused the song. "I don't understand why you're so shy with singing in front of people. You really have a beautiful singing voice."
"Thanks."
"What's the song called?"
"Still Alive."
"Ahh, I might search it up and listen to it."
"That will be nice."
"What time is it, Makayla."
"It's.... 10:46am."
"Ok."
We just sat there and talked about things. We kind of got to know eachother better then we did. When we were done, it was about 11:52. So we talked for about an hour. I felt comfortable to go up and talk to him when I want. Before I couldn't, knowing him he wouldn't listen to me, but now he is. We went inside to get some lunch. Ellie, Elaina, Harper, Autumn, Quinn, Colton, Ian, Gurpreet, and Ethan were in the food room talking and having lunch.
We joined them because they were thinking of a plan so no one dies tonight. Honestly, that's a great plan, but the question is, is the murderer listening, and if he is, is he smart to get the rooms when they're locked? I didn't say anything because I don't wanna know if he is smart enough to get in, also I don't want the others to find out if he really is smart and to think that this idea is stupid.
We just left it at that. Nothing much has happened since and I was quite bored. I walked back to my room and picked up my book and read.
Knock* knock*.
"Come in."
"Hey."
"Hey, Samantha. What's up"
"Nothing really. We need you down at the front."
"Sure."
We were walking down the hallway when all of a sudden we heard a scream. Not the kind of scream where you're having fun, but a terrified scream. Samantha and I ran at top speed to see who's screaming for their life. When we got there, Ellie was there on the ground curled up in a ball rocking back and forth.
"Ellie, what happened?" I asked curious why she's on the ground
"I . . . saw something. I don't know what it was, but it was scary."
"Describe what you saw," Samantha said
"It was black."
"That's it."
"Yes."
"Size?"
"It's small."
Squeak*.
I turned around and it's a mouse. A baby mouse. I went to grab some cheese to lead it outside. I ran through the gym to get to the other side. There was some sliced cheese in the fridge which I took and ran back. I got there and Ellie is crying.
"Ellie, it's just a baby mouse."
I led it through the front doors with cheese and put a pile of cheese on the parking lot and left.
"All done."
"How did you know what to do, Makayla?" Ellie asked, still frightened by the baby mouse.
"I had mice in my garage all the time, and I think you frightened it by your screams."
Autumn came to see what's going on.
"What's going on?"
"There a baby mouse and Makayla dealt with it," Samantha responded.
"Where is it?"
"Outside in the parking lot."
"Ahh. Dead?"
"Alive."
Everything was ok after that. I headed back to my room to read when I heard something else. I couldn't pick out what it was. It was faint, so it was very hard to hear. I ignored it and carried on with my life, when I heard it again. I wasn't quite sure what it was. I heard it again. It was coming from the music room. I was scared to go there since Evan and Andrew died.
I went up to the door and listened. It was quite clear. Some sort of screaming. It stopped. I heard it again but this time, it was right behind the door. I stepped away and ran away. I didn't want to know what was behind that door.
"Makayla. Come here! You know you want to."
There was this voice in my head that I can't get out.
"Makayla, you know you are with me."
"Get out of my head!"
"I can't. The first time you saw me, you knew you were scared of me."
"STOP! Get out of my head!"
It kept going. Voice in my head kept talking and I wanted it to stop.
Eventually, it stopped, but then it went black
