'SILENCE! You have the right to remain silent. Everything you say can and will be used against you.' 

It felt like I was being yelled at by that policeman with the big mustache and unibrow. You know, the one everyone has seen. But the students looked like death himself yelled at them. 

'Stop standing with your mouth open! YOU'LL CATCH FLIES! Mrs Starker yelled.

The headmistress was a nasty woman, to say the least. She was like a bull with constipation, or an angry lion.

I ushered my students into class to save them from the monster of a headmistress . I hastily handed out books, pencils, and left my students some work. I was thinking about all that had just happened when a student came up to me.

'I'm Stella.' she whispered hastily. 'I need to tell you something.'

'Umm... ok?'.

I was confused. This was definitely not normal.

'Ok, this will be a lot for you to process so listen carefully. Mrs Starker has been headmistress for as long as anyone can remember, and a lot of rumors have been circulating. But some of them are true. The headmistress has a history of torturing students. And there was a rumor that one even died. We think it's true.'

'How do you know?'

She ignored me.

'That's where the Echos come in. We are the ones who will discover the truth. We are the ones who will overthrow Mrs Starker. We are the ones who will avenge the student's death.' 

'So why are you telling me this?'

'Because you are going to be the one to stop the headmistress.'
