Chapter twenty
"Who would do this?" Samantha asked.
"Not us, at least I hope," I say.
"Do you think someone else is here with us?" Kylo asked.
"I hope not." Hunter answered. We all look at one another. Something touched my shoulder blade and I jumped. "Ahh!" turn around to see Daniel and someone else, a girl with him. Out of his killer clothing. "What are you two doing here?" asked Kylo. "We found the person who did this." Daniel said pointing at the dead bodies.
"Who?" I asked. "I don't know who it is, but these people were dressed in all black and came in here with a blanket and laid these guys out. We tried to catch them, but they were too fast, plus got in a car and drove off," explained Daniel.
"We were walking along the path over there by the school, and we saw someone taking bodies out of the dumpster with some other guy. We came into the transfer. They were nearly at the entrance of the school. We snuck in and they were dropping these bodies off. I yelled at them but they ran off into those doors in the blue area. I chased them to the front, but they brought a getaway car and drove off. By the time I got my phone out to take a picture of the license, they were long gone. Daniel came out and told me to grab Kylo and meet him by the bodies. I couldn't catch him and had Daniel to help me. We came back and there you guys were standing right here. And I'm sorry for scaring you." she said.
"it's fine," I reply accepting her apology.
"I'm Emma."
"Makayla." We shook hands.
"It's ok."
"Wow, that's a long story. Who are you?" Hunter asked
"we're friends of Kylo's."
"And you know Makayla by..."
"Kylo introduced us to her at some point of the stay." Daniel said.
"That's lovely." Samantha said. Daniel had his arm around Emma's shoulders. I wonder if they're together. "We'll help you take the bodies back to the dumpster and we'll keep an eye out for those people and we'll text if we see them." Emma says. "Ok, that sounds good." Kylo replied.
"What are your names?" Ian asked.
"I'm Emma, and this is my boyfriend, Daniel."
So they are a thing. Good to know.
"Alright, how'd you carry the bodies?" Daniel asked.
"Blanket." Kylo replied.
"I'll get the blanket." Hunter went to grab it while we waited. He was back in no time. Kylo and Hunter lifted two bodies at a time, and Daniel helped carry them back to the dump, while the rest of us stayed back.
"How long are you two staying for?" I asked.
"Not long, just came to warn you that someone took out the bodies. Once Daniel gets back, we're off."
"Ahh, okay."
The boys came back and Emma and Daniel left. I headed back outside. The day was almost done. Only tomorrow left, then the next day, we went home. All the survivors do. I hope one of them is Samantha. I hear footsteps. More like running. I turn around and Samantha is coming up behind me. "I was going to scare you, but you turned around."
"I'm glad I did."
We walked around the school grounds. We talked about what we could do if we survived. It took most of the day when we finished. The day is almost over. I can't wait to go back home, sleep in my own bed, and be with my family. Seeing my three friends out of school, Cora, Katrina, and Emily. Getting my learners for driving. Having a shower in my own shower. Getting my freedom. I was hungry, so I went inside with Samantha following me to the foods room to find Hunter. At least he's on his computer and won't notice me. I swiftly passed him and even three-quarters, he noticed me. "Hello."
"Oh hi, Hunter. Nice seeing you."
Ian meets up with us. "This oughta be good."
"So, how's that belly of yours? Vomiting?"
"Good, actually I feel way better. Why?"
"Just wondering if I touch you there, will you vomit on me."
He poked me so hard that I did nearly vomit. "Stop, or I'll puke on you."
"Oh, so scared of that." I kept on walking, then he said, "You're just weak," then I stopped walking and turned around. "You shouldn't have done that Hunter." Ian said. "You think I'm weak? Is it because I'm sick, or just a girl?"
"Yes for both."
"You wanna bet?"
"Sure. I'm not scared of you."
"Alright then. You've got a bet?"
"Yes I do, actually. We both wake up in the middle of the night, meet here at three am sharp. And whoever survives the night without dying, is the winner. But whoever gets hurt or dies, loses. Then we'll see who's the strongest," Hunter explained carefully.
"Do we have to fight the killer?"
"No, but we can if we meet him, there just can't be a scratch."
"Deal."
We shook hands. "I'd better tell the others." Ian said nervously. "Do we have to stick together through the night?"
"No."
"Good. I'm probably going to die."
"Why's that?"
"Because I'm around you."
"Ooh, another one for Makayla. It's four to nothing."
"See you tonight at three." I say.
"See you tonight."
"May the strongest person win."
He left the room, just Ian, Samantha and I. I grabbed myself a sandwich and a water and left while eating. I sat down with them to talk.
"So . . . the killer has a friend thats a girl?" Ian said.
"I doubt he has a friend." I say.
"I haven't seen a killer . . . yet."
"Yet. That doesn't mean that you won't see him. Can I say something though?" Ian asked.
"Yes, go ahead." Samantha persuaded.
"One of the nights, not long ago, the night Colton died . . . I've met the killer but managed to get away if it wasn't for Makayla. That night, we ran around the field getting chased by him. He had Kylo's phone, which sounded like him. But I'm not quite sure."
"Really?"
"Yeah." I say. "Because I let Ian get away . . . he stabbed me in the leg for what I did. He helped me afterwards but . . . tonight when I have to go against Hunter, I'm scared of what it will bring me."
I took a long drink of water. My throat is all dry. I could barely talk. The time came where I headed off to my room, set my alarm for 2:55 am. I got changed and headed off to bed. Hoping I would survive, and nothing could go wrong.
Boy was I so wrong.
