I opened my eyes confused. I was lying on a path way with the person who killed my horse tied up. A hors ei had never seen before lying on the ground in pain. Alicia holding a shattered phone. Julie who had placed my hea don her lap. Scout lying across my legs.
"What happened?" I asked. The second I finshed speaking my throat exploded into pain. I reached my hand up and ran it down my neck. With every touch a massive pang of pain ran through my body.
" some guy tried to kill you." Julie told me. I opened my mouth. " dont speak, flin is getting help." Julie told me closing my mouth. I noticed Frasier getting up. I went to speak but the second I opened my throat a massive burning pain took over my lungs. I pointed over and noticed frasier walked over. Suddenly frasier looped the rope around Julie's throat and dragged her. With great pain I stood up and punched him. He fell to the ground. I collapsed to the ground next to julie.
"Where is flin. You guys need nealry got killed. I cant leave you alone with Frasier or you will be dead." Alicia started to panic. I noticed my phone next to me. I dragged it out of my pocket. I typed in 000.
"Help. A former student snuck into campus and strangled me. I passed out. He broke my boyfriends arm. My best friend is passed out. My other friend is in shock and having a panic attack. My boy friend went to get help and he hasn't come back. We manged to tie the boy up." I told them. My voice started shaking and a burning pain went through my whole body. Alicia saw what wa happening and picked up the phone.
"Please help." Alicia asked.
"Stay on the call with me. I'm sending help." The voice faded out along with my vision, thoughts and life.
—————————————————————————————————————————————
I opened my eyes. Alicia was still on the phone.
"Shes awake now." It had gotten dark.
Sirens filled the air. I noticed people running to us. Alica got up and ran over.
"Julie?" I asked. I shook her arm.
"Julie!" My voice was sore but I didn't care. I noticed teachers running over. Alicia was shaking on the ground. Snickers was lying on the grass with open wounds.
"Can you tell us what happened?" A officer asked Alicia. Paramedics where all around us putting me and julie on stretchers.
"My friend, Aella got a phone call. It was telling her to head to her horses stall. We thought it was from her boyfriend. When we got to the stall we had a note telling us to go to her dorm. Then the next note told us to go to the parking lot. When we got there flin her boyfriend suprised her with a pony. Then he noticed he hadnt sent out the text telling Aella to come to the car park. Frasier came out and attacked us. We ran but he caught Aella and strangled her." Alicia told the cop.
"Where's flin?" I asked as I was loaded into the back of the ambulance.
"He is being taken care of by the school nurse it was a mild break." Alica told me.
"What about julie? Why hasn't she woken up yet?" I asked.
"With her fainting we think she might be in a coma. She will probably not make it." A voice told me. The world spun. I tried sit up but I felt drunk.
—————————————————————————————————————————————
I weakly opened my eyes. This time I was in a hospital room. I turned my head and noticed julie covered in tubes still passed out. I turned my head the other way and Alicia, thean and Isla where asleep on a couch.
"Guys?" I asked. My voice was raspy and unclear. With in a second they all sat up.
"Aella?" Isla asked walking over.
"Why am in the hospital?" I asked.
"Frasier tried to kill you and Alicia. And flin." Thean told me.
"Is Julie okay?" I asked. I could barely see there faces in the dark.
"We... dunno. She's in a coma." Isla told me.
"What?" I asked. I brought my hands up and covered my mouth.
I sat up and looked at julie.
"Is that scout?" I asked noticing a dog lying across julie.
"Yeah, he refused to leave Julie's side." Alicia told me. Scout jumped of Julie's bed and jumped up to mine.
"I'm worried about her too." I told scout. He curled up on my chest and lay down.
"Buddy, I can't breathe." I told him and gave him a gentle pat. He moved up and lay down next to me. I stared at the roof as every one fell asleep next to me. Light slolwy faded into the room.
"Would you like anything?" A nurse asked pushing a cart with breakfast food.
"To go back to campus." I replied.
"You have to stay here another few days." The nurse told me with a weak smile.
"What about my friend?" I asked stroking scout who was sniffing the cart.
"We... dunno. Once she is out of her coma she will stay here a few days then go home." The nurse told me.
"Any food you want?" She asked seeming a tinge annoyed.
"I dunno. Apple?"
"I'll go see if I can get you a ice cream sundae." The nurse told me walked away with a smile. Once she got out of the room I turned on the tv. A cartoon came on. I fluffed my pillow and got comable.
"We interrupt this cartoon for break news" a blonde haired reporter told us.
"Frasier Boyfall has been arrested for the attempted murder of four fifteen year old former students. Aella Gold the target is stable and in hospital. Alicia Corner got out with only a few cuts and bruises. Flin Hoper suffered a broken arm. Julie Youngcraft was knocked out and currently in a coma." The news reporter told us. The cartoon flicked back as the seriousness of what happened dawned on me.
