Carli ran to their coaches room.
The door was open, and it was barely hanging by the hinges.
"Hope?" Carli softly called.
It was creepy in there.
"Coach Ellis?" She called again.
Nothing.
Carli was frantic now, and she searched on the balcony, then threw up at the sight.
Jill's body was so mangled up, it hardly looked like a person. Carli looked around, and threw up again, this time at the stench of blood.
"Carli" A ragged voice coughed.
Carli looked around, and saw Hope, who she thought was a dead body, next to Jill's.
"Hope!" Carli ran to her side.
Hope's arm was torn up, leaving jagged lines where the deep cuts were. Her face didn't look too good either. Her eyebrow was cut, blood nearly missing her eye, and dripping down her chin, along with her cheek that was cut open, and bruised so bad it looked like someone painted on her.
Carli didn't have any strength to cry.
Instead, she helped Hope up, and carried her to the car, she was strapped in, and they went to the hospital. Carli never drove this crazy in her life.
After treatment, and cleaning Hope up, Hope came back into the waiting room, and they got back into the car.
"Hope, now tell me. Did you murder Jill?" Carli asked softly, making sure to not get Hope mad.
"What? No. I didn't do it. Servando did" Hope said, and Carli thought she was being sarcastic. "I'm dead serious. He beat me to Jill. I don't know what the hell was going on, but I ran out onto the balcony, ready to beat Jill up, but then I saw him" Hope took a deep breath. "He had a mask in one hand, and a bloody hunting knife in the other. I almost got away, but he beat me to the door and made sure I stayed on the balcony"
"You mean to tell me that Servando did it?" Carli was so confused.
"Yes. Thats what I'm telling you. Right before he stuck the knife in my arm, he smiled all nice like and told me this; 'call me The Ripper'. And just like that, he was gone" Hope was shaking.
"Sounds like something he would do" Carli shrugged.
"I know. Thats why he did it" Hope sighed. "I didn't want Jill to die, I just wanted to rough her up a bit so she knew not to mess with us"
"I know, Hope. I know. And I get it. Its okay, everyone will understand you didn't do it" Carli patted her unharmed shoulder.
But Hope didn't think that she wold hear the end to this one.
What was she supposed to tell Kelley?
