I walk into school the after prom. I haven't seen Katie since the dance, and honestly I didn't care to. She wasn't a good person and I only agreed to go with her because I was payed significant amounts by her father. #7 was chatting the hell out of me the rest of the dance though.
I was one of the first ones into the school building, usually I beat almost everyone, even the janitors. I only got an hour of sleep last night because of prom. I walked down the hall towards a display case that was used for displaying prom decorations. It was filled with taffeta and ribbon and a prom sign and a few mannequins. I looked towards it as I passed.
I let out the single most horrified yell of my life. Hanging from ribbon and taffeta was Katie. Her throat was cut with an ear to ear slit, and blood pooled on the floor below her.
"Oh my god!" I shouted. I remember falling towards the floor. She was dead. I looked around but the school was empty. Literally nobody was here, not even Principal Fowler, and he was renowned for always showing up very early.
"Hello?"
Then the screaming started. I recognized it. 19, Leslie Dirkstrom.
It was shrill, and desperate, but as I rushed towards the source, it began to quiet.
I came to a janitors closet, my heart now thumping in my chest, I had to be prepared to fight for my life. As I pushed open the door, small crying began.
Leslie was gutted, lying askew on the floor. Next to her was a small, clean infant child.
Against what would probably be my best interests, I picked up the baby, and it stopped crying. I walked out of the room, and to the phone booth.
"Hello, 911, I have an emergency."
