The Yes Yes Board

5 Strike

'Why did she turn evil then?' Eve asked, as she dipped a biscuit in her tea.  

'Well, as a child, Maisy, David, you and I were always much more popular than her.  She craved popularity, you can see...' I pushed a photo in front of her.  It was a picture of us at halloween. Maisy, David, Emily, Eve and I were all hugging and Emily had been pushed out of our circle.

'I see what yo mean, but why turn evil when your dead, why turn evil over lack of popularity?' Eve asked.  I shrugged.  I pondered over the thought.  Maybe she wanted revenge.  Maybe she wanted to fit it.  I got out a piece of paper and started writing down how everyone had died.  Eve watched me.

'I just don't get it.  Wait, she liked Sherlock Holmes right...And crime stuff, right?' I said.  Sitting up straight.

'Yeah, she did, where you getting at?'  

'She used crime, and death and stuff to get popular right, even though it never worked...'  I continued

'Come to think of it, she did.  You don't think, she was killing to get popular, do you?' I stared at Eve.

'Probably, what do you notice about the deaths?'  I asked. It suddenly all clicked into place.

'Well...They..'

'Yes...Carry on.'They've been on the news recently and have been very popular, it's all fits into place!'  Eve gasped.  I high fived her.  I suddenly had an idea.

'I know this sounds crazy and it's dangerous, but should we try communicate to Chloe?'  I said.  Eve nodded.  We quickly ran to Emily's house.  We saw all the forensics leaving.  We walked into her house.  I grasped Eve's hand, suddenly feeling scared.  We reached Emily's room and stood in the middle.  

'Chloe, are you there?'  I asked.  I suddenly spotted a shadow dart across the room.  I swallowed.  I heard whispers in my ears.

'On the walls...' The whisper got louder.

'Did you hear that?'  Eve whispered.  I nodded.  I turned around and on the wall was written I'M HERE, THERE AND EVERYWHERE...

'Chloe, why did you do what you did?' I asked.  Suddenly an axe smashed through the window.  I ran to the window and looked out.  There was nothing there.  I stared at Eve.  She bent down and picked up the axe. It was covered in blood.

'It's really heavy, how could someone chuck that up here?'  She asked.  I picked up the axe.  She was right.  I turned to the wall again.  This time it said.  5TH STRIKE IS COMING...  I gasped and nudged Eve.  We slowly stood back to back.  We heard crashes downstairs.  I heard Eve gulp.

'GET OFF ME PLEASE, HELP SOMEONE!' We heard a shriek downstairs.  I ambled downstairs, Eve hared after me.  I slammed against the bathroom door.  It wouldn't open.  I bashed my shoulder against it and it open.  I crashed into the bathroom and saw Emily's sister. (who had just arrive home from university) on the floor, pale but with black shapes around her face.

'Drowned...' Eve sniffed.  She was great friends with Corey.  I reached out and touched Corey's face.  It was stone cold and her mouth was open as if she was silently screaming.  I looked up and Eve, she was staring at mirror.  I turned around and looked.  It soup suds, it said 5TH STRIKE.

'Remember the kid that drowned last week?' Eve asked.

'Yeah, why?'

'He drowned in a bathroom and said what Corey said...'
