A Special Mind

Chapter 12- Not Again

By the time we were done cleaning the toilets I was gasping for air and night had appeared, I never want to do that again! I said goodbye to Miss Nash and made my way to my room (after facing Tod). I went through the trap door and saw Ava lying on her bed, I gave her a death glare which she returned by laughing hard. I got my PJs and had a long shower, after that I made my way to my bed and lay on it.

"So how did the toilet cleaning go?" Ava asked while bursting into more laughter.

"It's not funny!" I exclaimed.

That only encouraged more laughing.

"You try doing it," I mumbled.

I closed my eyes ignoring Ava's laughter.

I twisted and turned for half the night, I couldn't get to sleep. Not after the toilets I shuddered at that. Ava was sleeping peacefully as always, I don't know how she did it but she could sleep through an earthquake and never wake up. I stared at her wondering how we both could be related; I always thought that I was an only child till Ava showed up, at that thought she let out an unladylike snore and rolled over. I laughed quietly to myself; I couldn't wait to tell her tomorrow the look on her face would be priceless! As soon as I felt sleep taking over me a dark feeling made itself known. I sat back up.

Danger, my instincts told me.

I pulled the covers off me and quietly walked to the trap door, I went through it and down three flights of stairs and turned the corner, I was in the hallway where the ex-Headmistress's office was, I walked closer and my heart started to pound fear went through me.

Not again, I thought.

Because where the Headmistress's office was...was a girl with blood making a pile on her side. I ran to her and kneeled beside her, I checked her pulse, it was beating but faintly. I looked closer and noticed it was Emily; her blond hair was a mess. Let's just say she was the nerd of the house, but still I had to try and save her. My hands started to shake; I couldn't take this, not twice in a row.

"AVA!" I roared in my mind, panic beginning to take over.

I sensed Ava wake up (don't ask how) and could feel her running to where I was. I heard footsteps in the hall.

"What is it?" She asked.

And then she saw the body, "Oh shit!"

"Get Cook!" I ordered.

Ava ran to get him; I ripped off a bit of my shirt and placed it on the wound hoping to stop the bleeding. Blood was getting on my hands but I ignored it.

Hurry Ava, I thought.

I heard more footsteps make their way to me, I didn't turn around I was too focused on the wound.

"Holy crap!" Cook exclaimed. "Is she alive?"

I nodded.

I heard his footsteps take off to the Kitchen; there was a phone that he could use.

I checked Emily's pulse, it was still beating. I heard Cook come back.

"Okay the police and ambulance is on their way right now," Cook panted.

He made his way to me, "Keep pressure on the wound"

"What the heck is going on?" Mr Thompson roared.

I knew that voice anywhere.

"There has been a shooting," Cook replied calmly.

"Again?" Mr Thompson asked.

"Yes sir"

I felt hands on my shoulders.

"It's going to be okay Leo help is on its way," Ava thought to me.

I didn't answer, just then sirens could be heard from outside. Footsteps made their way to us.

"Where is the body?" An ambulance person asked.

"Over there," Cook said pointing to me.

They made their way to me.

"We will take over now," The man said gently.

Ava helped me up and we walked over to Cook, I just stood there shocked while the two people put Emily onto the stretcher and walked away from us.

"The police want to question Leo," Mr Thompson said.

I didn't move.

"Come on," Ava said gently and guided me to Mr Thompsons office.

Mr Thompson sat behind his desk while the rest of us sat on the chairs, the cops were the same ones from before, Detective Clark stood there with a notebook out and Angie stood beside him. She looked at the blood on my hands and gave me a sympatric look.

"Can you tell us what happened?" He asked.

I told them as best as I could, my body shaking like crazy. Two kills! There was a crazy killer on the loose and all the cops were doing was asking questions, they needed to go out there and find the person who did this!

"And I tried to cover up the wound while help was coming," I finished.

Detective Clark wrote it all down and looked at me with pity, tho deep down I knew he was suspicious of me, "All right get cleaned up and I'll see what I can do, you need a guard here twenty four-seven to make sure this doesn't happen-"

"I can deal with that," Mr Thompson interrupted.

Detective Clark nodded, "All right I'll be going now"

And they left us in silence.

"Go get cleaned up Leo," Cook said.

Ava and I made our way through the trap door and I quickly grabbed clothes and went into the bathroom to have a long shower.

After I was done I got dressed and went out, I saw that Ava was dressed as well. I sat at my desk staring at nothing; my mind couldn't think I was numb.

"Leo are you okay?" Ava asked while sitting on her bed.

"Two bodies I saw," I said. "All with blood"

I heard Ava's footsteps make their way to me.

"You're starting to worry me Leo," She said.

"I'm fine," I turned my chair and smiled at her. "Numb but fine"

She raised an eyebrow, "So what do we do now?"

This was like last time, but I wasn't going to sit here like it was nothing. The cops couldn't do anything; they didn't even know who the killer was. They could search this place high and low and never find anything, but Ava and I had something better than them and I was going to use it.

"Leo?" Ava asked.

I looked at her feeling determined, "The killers done enough damage, we take matters into our own hands now"
