Archaeology 101... The Classroom of Despair

~Day 42~

It was night. Dave, Kiera, Harp, and Matti had snuck into the Science building and stood in front of the Archeology classroom. There was heavy breathing among the whole group. They hadn't been here at night since Nico and Holly.

"Hahaha. Uhm okay, guys. You ready?" Kiera started with a nervous laugh.

"Ready? I don't think I'll ever truly be ready. Not for this at least" Harp responded while shoving more meat into her mouth to keep her nerves down.

"That's for sure, I'm not really sure how we're supposed to prepare. I feel sick to my stomach." Dave said while nervously rubbing his hands together.

"Guys, I'm worried about Makayla... Is she going to be alright?" Matti said with a concerned look on his face.

"Well we can't really control that right now, can we. We kiiinda have our own thing to deal with at the moment" Kiera snapped back. "Well we should just get it over with, right?" Everyone nodded. There was a gap of silence. Then, you could hear the sliding of the door as Kiera pulled it open. It was such a serene sight to see, the moonlight shining through the window. Reflecting off of the desks and floors. Treetops could be seen from the window, swaying back and forth. It seemed as though nothing gruesome had ever happened here. Though, that isn't how the rest of them felt.

"I think I'm going to be sick," Dave stated matter-of-factly while covering his mouth.

"C'mon guys we got this" Kiera said as they locked arms. They all took a step into the classroom together. One big sigh of relief, nothing happened. Another step. Nothing. Another. Everything was okay. It felt a little queasy to be in that room again. But so far it wasn't too bad. They decided to take a seat and just talk for a little while.

"See, this isn't so bad," Kiera said and everyone else agreed. After a short, still tense bit, everyone started to loosen up a little bit. There were chuckles in the room and smiles started to form on their faces. It had been a while since they could enjoy time together as friends.

Suddenly. The door slammed open. Everyone jumped with fright. Slight screams came out of them all... Oh no, something was going to happen wasn't it. As the figure walked into the room, getting closer to the four of them, they took a closer look. It was Makayla!

"Makayla, thank God you decided to show up with us! I'm proud of you for coming in," Matti said as he got up to give her a big hug. There was no response.

" I was so worried about you this entire time, c'mon come join us. It really isn't as bad as we remember here. It's all okay." Matti said quietly with a soft smile on his face. Still no response.

Soon Matti had gotten close enough to Makayla to give her a hug. He opened his arms and went in.

"MATTI WAIT, SOMETHING IS STRANGE" Kiera shouted. Right as she did, before Matti could even get out a 'what' -- CLANK -- A loud noise was heard. Then you saw the silhouette of Matti fall to the floor. Makayla was above him with a shovel in her hands as though she had just hit him over the head.

"AGHHHHHH!! NO WAY THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!!" Kiera started screaming from shock. All the while Makayla started to shove the shovel into Matti's chest, scooping out what she could. Blood and organs were everywhere, scattered around the floor. Matti's unconscious mangled body is in a heap that was barely recognizable. Skin pierced and shredded by the shovel wielded by Makayla.

"HE'S YOUR BEST FRIEND, WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT??!!" Kiera yelled more. No response came from Makayla. "HARP DAVE WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE!" Kiera turned around to grab Harp and Dave. When she did, Harp had Dave against the wall strangling the life out of him. At first, he started to struggle, clawing at Harp's hands. No release. Then his eyes started to get bigger and the struggling died down. Saliva started to fall from Dave's mouth. As his eyes rolled back into his head. Harp had an ominous smile upon her face.
