Unsuspected

Chapter Three

*Beginning of clip*

A girl sets down the camera and walks into room. Nothing happens for about ten seconds. Something crashes in the room and the girl screams. Silence. The girl screams again. Silence. She screams and runs out of the room.

She runs down the hall and goes down a set of stairs.

 Girl voice over: Kylie’s dead. She’s dead! CHRIS! CHRIS WHERE ARE YOU?!

A loud noise seems to explode through the entire school. Then rows and rows of transparent figures start to appear in front of the camera. They eventually become clear enough to see that they are children. They have blood all over their bodies as if they were just murdered. Lightning flashes. Thunder muffles the girl’s scream. The girl can be seen through the crowd of transparent children, she screeches and runs through the crowd of children. She stops for less than a second and runs out the door.

A man comes out of a classroom and instantly all of the children disappear. He runs out the door after the girl.

*End of video clip*

“Well, as we just saw there seemed to be some odd occurrences in that school… We are just getting some more news as well… They seem to have found the body of the man from the video. He is presumed to have committed suicide. That’s all the information we have for now and tune in later for any new developments.” The news reporter concluded.

A year later…

“Come on! You guys aren’t chicken are you?” Miranda asked.

“N-no” Robert stuttered.

“Yes you are. Sandra are you scared?” Miranda asked again in frustration.

“Of course not!” Sandra says pretending not to be scared. “Alex, buddy… you aren’t scared right?”

“Why would I be? That whole video they showed in the news is fake. Come on let’s hurry so we can leave before it starts to rain.” Alex says with confidence.

 “Yes, let’s go. Wait! First does everybody know why I chose this day to come?” Miranda asked.

 “Yeah, because it’s the one year anniversary of the Ghost Children Mystery. But we all know that’s fake, so we came to prove it.” Alex says matter-of-factly.

“Correct. Now let’s get moving.” Miranda said, started walking into the clearing where they had found Alexandria Hart’s body.

“Okay, how about we play a little game of truth or dare?” Miranda suggests.

“Umm. Okay!” Robert responds enthusiastically.

“I’ll go first… Alex truth or dare?” Miranda asked.

 “Dare!” Alex responds quickly.

“Alright, I dare you and one other person to go inside the school.” Miranda says with a smirk on her face.

“Alright, Sandra you’re coming with me.” Alex says refusing to show his fear.

“What? Why me? I—“Sandra asked panicking.

 “Let’s go! “Alex yells.

“Okay!” Sandra replies angrily.

They start to walk closer to the school but stopped when they saw the door opening. They started to walk back towards the opening where Miranda and Robert were. But they froze when they saw that it was a small child who opened the door. A small child with blood on his hands. They ran towards the clearing but Miranda and Robert were running towards them.

“It’s her! It’s that girl that got killed. Alexandria… her ghost…” Robert tries to explain still panting. “A kid… A ghost…opened the door—let’s just get out of here!” Alex also said with panic in his voice. They ran and didn’t stop running until they were out of the forest. Never once did they turn back. And never once did they ever return to the Forest Hill Elementary School.
