Murder House (Part One)

Hospital

The trip to the station was tense but once we got there, we filled the Detective with our version of events. As we spoke he looked disinterested in what we said and that irritated us but we did not show it.

"Well, this is interesting." He said rubbing his chin as if he had a beard. "But we can't let her go."

Aubrey was appalled. "Why not?"

"Yeah, she saved her life!" Ralph added.

"Not until we get collect enough evidence pointing her as the victim." He replied. "I am sorry kids but that is how the law works."

"But you can't keep her in jail!" Brianna wailed.

"Yeah, she saved my life it is the least I can do for her," I say.

"Oh, she is getting out alright." He said ruefully. "The girl has post-traumatic stress disorder."

We were stunned. "What?"

"Post-traumatic stress disorder in other words PTSD. It is a mental illness caused when someone fails to recover from experiencing a terrifying event and do you know what the terrifying event was?"

We shake our heads.

"It was witnessing the murder of her classmates. A few years ago after she was found in school trying to summon a 'demon' then her friend Adrien died being hacked to death by Bernard. It was after Frances' suicide death we asked her what happened. She told us and was convinced it was the demon they summoned that did this. We all agreed it was a homicide but what nearly made me believe that story she told me was the fact that there was no motive behind the murder. Then we found out she and the victim had a feud before he died but I doubt a little thing like a baseball glove would make him kill his best friend."

I gulped and look at my friends. Brianna told me she was emotionally unstable but we did not know it was this severe.

"She is still a minor and with the mental issues, she will still be tried for murder until we collect enough evidence that shows she is the victim but don't worry, if the evidence is not enough, we will make sure your statements are accountable until then there is nothing you can do."

We left the police station in anger. 'Our statements are not enough? But we witnessed everything! I was even the main witness!'

"I feel sorry for her," Ralph said breaking the silence.

I could not agree with him more. 'Wait, she witnessed that murder years ago. Then why didn't they take her out of the school when she started symptoms?'

"Why didn't her parents take her to a therapist when she started showing signs of PTSD?" I asked.

"They did and some results began to show that she was getting better until the murders continued." Brutes responded casually.

"I think this incident will finally be the one that will break the camel's back." Brianna sighed.

Aubrey stumped her foot in anger. "As if!" and walked ahead of us in anger.

We looked at each other, shrugged, and continued to walk and that night after dinner I decided to take a walk to clear my head.

'Two girls brutally killing students in the middle of class.' I stopped and looked up at the sky. 'What on earth is going on?'

I sighed and continued to walk. 'Should I leave the school? I mean it is foolish to go back after what happened.'

I look up and see the school at a diSebastiance and remember Caroline's words. 'She did say if I want answers I should come to the school at night. Should I go or should I wait?'
