Lights Out

Chapter 7 - A Little Peep

'Come on Henry!' Alex said as he shook Henry, attempting to wake him up from his daydream. 'Come o-' he started before falling on top of Henry, with him startling awake. They both started blushing as Delilah and Tiffany grinned at each other. Pushing someone onto their crush was definitely fun, but they had much bigger things to deal with, like getting out of the room, and finding out who was behind that door. Alex had been saying that they had to do it professionally, otherwise, it would just be pointless as they would get nowhere. Delilah and Tiff sort of agreed with him, but Henry just wanted to burst the door open and make a run for it.

'Ok, so we need to find out who it is, where they are now, and if they are the killer. Who do we think it could be, any teachers we haven't found dead yet that stay after 5 o'clock?' Alex explained to everyone. They all looked at each other and back at Alex before Tiffany remembered something. 'I remember seeing a list of the teachers staying behind today yesterday whilst helping sir! There was Mrs Cracer, Miss Gudgel, Mr Perphon, Mr Graig, Mrs Mare, Mrs.... uhh...' she began. Everyone nodded at her to keep on going as she tried to think of who she saw on the list. 'There was Mrs Deter, Mr Lithium, Mrs Nitro, Mr White and Mrs Patrice.' The three of them looked at her with great relief that she had remembered and Alex jotted them down. He then went and found a whiteboard marker and wrote all the names down in a list, along with their features. 'Delilah, did you see the eye colour by any chance?' Henry asks. Delilah looked at him and thought back to the moment when she remembered seeing a caramel coloured eye staring back at her. She jolted as the memory came back to her. 'It was a golden sort of caramel kind of colour, quite soft.' They looked at her and then back to the board as Alex wrote it down then back at her again. 'What?' she asked. Henry looked at her with a 'you know what' expression and said, 'Anything else?' Delilah looked at him sternly and shook her head, before thinking about it and getting flashbacks to the eye. It was incredibly creepy.

'Ok, so the only ones of our teachers that have that description of an eye are Miss Gudgel, Mr Graig, Mrs Mare and Mrs Patrice, so it is one of them.' Alex said before realising Henry wasn't paying attention. 'HENRY!' he screamed at him. Henry jolted up and began blushing, not because he was shocked, but because he found Alex's scream cute. Everyone but Alex picked up on it and stared at him. They all knew Alex hadn't picked up on it, because otherwise, he would have been joining the two girls in staring. 'Ok, Delilah did you see any strands of hair?' Alex asked. Delilah shook her head and went on with staring intently at the door, trying to remember anything else. 'I think they had quite light skin as if they hadn't been outside in days.' she said. Alex looked at her and said that every one of the teachers had that sort of skin that we were suspecting as. She shrugged and turned around as if expecting to see something. 'What's the point of this anyway' she says and turns back around. Alex looks at her again but this time with a more stern look on his face, 'SO THAT WE CAN FIGURE OUT WHO IS KILLING EVERYONE AND ESCAPE!' he shouted, which made Delilah fall off her chair. 'Jeez, chill.' she said as she walked over to the door and peered through the keyhole again, 'Uhhh... guys, you might wanna come and see this.' she said...
