⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀Chloe East was a self proclaimed morning bird, and so she was quite pleased when she rolled out of bed first that morning. Waking up early meant that you got into the bathroom first, and that pleased Chloe just fine.⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀Breakfast as the hotel they were staying at was served between the times of 7am and 9:15am, and so Chloe seemed to have a interior clock that woke her up at 6:10am, every morning, and gave her time to get ready before she went downstairs for breakfast.⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀Today, as Chloe slipped out onto the balcony and took a seat, still in her pyjamas, with her phone on her knee, she saw that the weather was bright, which was good because that meant that they could go on all the rides up at the park. Chloe loved roller coasters, but they'd been using their time so far to go shopping, since the weather never seemed exactly desirable for a day on the roller coasters, and everyone kept on putting it off.⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀"I hope we get to go today," Chloe murmured under her breath as she watched the world outside, those still working and not on holiday like herself, wake up and begin to filter out of the houses that Chloe could see in the landscape. She logged onto Snapchat, quickly going through the stories that had been updated since the last time Chloe had been online, and then taking a photo of the beautiful world, putting those exact words onto the photo and uploading it to her story.⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀A small tapping noise alerted Chloe to attention, and she went inside, quickly locked the balcony and crept over to the door, where she suspected the noise was coming from. Chloe and all of her friends had come as a large group, and so had got four rooms that were conjoined, so Chloe took a wild stab that this was one of the boys, who'd gone down to get a drink last night, ended up lost and had finally made his way back to his room.⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀She pulled the door open as quietly as she could, ready to throw her hand over a drunk boy's mouth, but it was lucky she didn't throw her hand out, because the person standing in front of her was definitely not one of the boys that came on holiday with her.⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀There was a man and a woman, both wearing the local police outfits, with serious expressions on their faces. Chloe was confused, and the police officers knew this by the way her brow furrowed and she turned to look at everyone sleeping behind her.⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀Her next guess was that one of the boys had got himself into a spot of trouble, and this was the consequences. She went to tut, but the police officers invited themselves in and walked past Chloe, turning the light on as they did.⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀"Excuse me?" Chloe looked at the police officers with a rather annoyed look on her face, and she folded her slim arms across her chest. They ignored her and proceeded to walk forward to the curtains, opening them and letting the light in, and then turning on the television, making the noise blare loudly for a few seconds, before turning it off again.⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀"Miss, could you please get everybody up please. We need to talk," the policewoman said in a monotone as she stood on one side of the television, her partner on the other side. A few of Chloe's friends had begun to roll out of bed, and one of the doors opened to show Lexee, Maddie and Eva walking through, some of the others just behind them.⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀Lexee, being Chloe's best friend, ran over and threw her arms around the brunette, who was visibly stressed and upset now. Both girls had met at a dance class back when they both still wore diapers and so this had meant that they had a closer relationship than anybody else here.⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀"What's wrong?" Lexee asked as tears began to drip steadily down Chloe's cheeks and the brunette begun to sob slightly. Chloe shook her head in reply, and Lexee merely hugged her tighter, knowing better than to try and force an answer out of her friend.⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀"There is an important matter that we all need to talk about. Was everyone here last night, for the whole night?" the man produced a notebook from his pocket and pulled a pencil from his other pocket, looking around the sleepy teenagers with a thin lipped smile, which was blatantly forced.⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀"So what happened?" Alexander asked, running a hand through his messy mop of dark hair. He was dating Brynn, a small bendy blonde, who was sitting next him at the moment, her half asleep head leaning on his shoulder. The policeman ignored that fact that nobody had answered his first question, and moved on.⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀"You came here with Kendall Vertes, am I right?" the policeman said, basically taking over. Everybody nodded and looked around, suddenly noticing the absence of the brunette. Both the man and the woman nodded, scribbling down notes into their black notebooks and then looking up with grave expressions on their faces.⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀"A body was found last night. We believe it to be the body of Kendall," the policewoman said grimly and tears immediately begun to prickle in the eyes of many of the teenagers as the truth hit them hard.⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀"So she's dead?" Nathan, a small boy with dark auburn hair, asked with a grim expression on his face. He was one of the youngest of everybody there, but his parents were police officers so he had grown up with murders so he wasn't that emotionally moved. Nathan also hated Kendall.⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀"Someone sliced an axe through her head. She was found earlier, her head sliced in two and lying separately," the policeman said and everybody, bar Nathan, gagged, throwing their hands over their mouths as they tried not to vomit.⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀"So who killed her?" Lexee asked, still with her arms round a now hyperventilating Chloe. The brunette was plagued with panic attacks and anxiety disorder, and since Lexee had known her for so long, she knew exactly what to do when she saw Chloe getting panicky. She moved Chloe over to a bed and sat her down, passing her an unopened bottle of water off one of the dressers.⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀"We don't know yet, but we are launching a formal investigation into her murder," both spoke in unison, with voices like robots and a eerie shudder ran down Chloe's back. Lexee patted her on the back and hugged her tightly round the shoulders.⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀"So we're all suspects I guess," Nathan pointed out in a monotone voice, eyebrows narrowed towards the two police officers, who both nodded in reply to the boy. A small sigh escaped his lips and Nathan rose to his feet and went to leave the room.⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀"I wouldn't suggest that you do that, leaving the room. We will most likely be back soon, once we find out more, but I suggest that you go about your everyday life's. Goodbye," the policewoman smiled at them all before leaving the room, walking like a robot with her colleague not far behind her, slamming the door behind them.⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀"Everyday life's my ass," Nathan muttered as he ran back to his room and grabbed his laptop, before coming and sitting on Chloe's bed. He flipped the lid up and the room was filled with the smattering of his fingers against the keys.⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀"Nathan?" Lexee asked, walking away from Chloe and sitting down next to him. "What are you doing?"⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀"I'm finding out who killed Kendall, simple as pie."⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀
