Souls Of The Dead

Chapter V

The next day…

Hillary: “Well, what was that all about, you guys?”

Jen: “Well… the serial killer had murdered Travis in the bathtub. I just found him here at midnight, and I am truly aware of who the killer is.”

Phoebe: “Well then who? Who murdered Travis?”

Jen: “I’m not going to tell you until school ends.”

Hillary: “If you want to wait until the school ends, then the boys might be coming anytime soon.”

Seth and Benjamin walked into the school hallway to us.

Benjamin: “Hey girls, what’s up?”

Phoebe: “Hey, boys.”

Jen: “Hey Ben, hey Seth. How are y’all boys doing?”

Benjamin: “Don’t ask. If I hear any screaming from the bathroom, then I would suspect who the murderer is and whoever killed Travis.”

Seth: “Yes, ladies, I’m serious too because I just found a report about Travis’s death.”

Hillary: “Well we gotta get to class because we’re gonna be late.”

Phoebe: “Hillary’s right, you guys. You should get to class quickly.”

Benjamin: “Yeah, you’re right. Let’s go, Seth.”

Everyone walked to their classes.

In History class…

Everyone discussed the death of my best friend and how they heard about the news until the history teacher, Phyllis Wilson entered.

Wilson: “Alright, class. Hush down.”

We all stopped talking and then gave all the attention to Wilson.

Wilson: “Thank you for all the attention. I appreciate that. Today we're going to be talking about world religions."

Ashton stood up and walked away to hide.

Wilson: "So today we're going to be taking the test and the scavenger hunt. So everyone, take out your history books while I take out the sticky notes."

Wilson walked over to the bookshelves to search for sticky notes.

Wilson: "I know I just put those in a bookshelf somewhere…"

But then he noticed it was not a bookshelf. It was the pitch-black wall with eyes, staring at him.

Wilson: "Okay, that's just weird."

Ashton walked up to him as he turned around to hear footsteps.

Wilson: "Um… Ashton, aren't you supposed to be back in your sea-"

Wilson's question was interrupted as Ashton sliced his head off and blood splattered all over him and the bookshelf. Blood gushed from Phyllis' neck as everyone watched that bloody scene.

Jen: "Oh my god…"

Ivan Watson: "Oh my god, he killed the teacher!"

Jen: "Guys, we need to get out of here! This is not safe! Come on, Phoebe! Let's go!"

I bolted from the classroom to the hallway, and so did everyone, especially Nathaniel Whitlock who walked out of there to sprint to the bathroom to wash the blood off the back of his medium-dark brown hair.

Lucy: "I'm coming after you, Yuriy!"

Lucy ran out of the room, leaving Seth behind.

Seth: "A-Ashton, what is going on?!"

Ashton: "You better egress the room before I kill you next!"

Seth: "O-okay…"

Seth bolted from the room after me while the girl stood from her seat to leave, but Ashton interrupted her.

Ashton: "And where do you think you’re going?"

The girl was startled.

Ashton: "Since you're not leaving, you're next."

Ashton slit her throat as Phoebe, Seth, and I ran up to Hillary and Benjamin.

Hillary: "What's going on, you guys?"

Phoebe: "Hillary, this is an intervention! We're gonna have to hide in the lockers before the killer would slaughter us all!"

Jen: "Good idea, Phoebe!"

I opened the locker and we all squeezed into the locker to hide in there.
