PSEUDO IX

The following day, I woke up to a phone call. I received a message that my uncle George found lying on the floor with eight stabs in his office. My Aunts came home to assist with Uncle's funeral. They decided to cremate it instead of burial.

I tried not to think that it was because of the book. That's impossible! Maybe it's just a coincidence.

One of my Aunt volunteered to live with me, so I'm with Aunt Brenda; she is kinder.

I was on my way to the school when I saw an ambulance parked outside the school ground. There are lots of students too.

"What's happening?" I asked Everleigh when I saw her standing nearby the gate, astonishing. "Everleigh?"

"Agata found at the room no. 7 hanging on the roof lifeless."

"What?" I'm a bit shocked. Well, I wanted that but...

"That's not the only news. Cassidy, hours later found at room no. 6 shot by a gun in the forehead."

I'm speechless. Everything I wrote in the book happened.

"Everleigh! You will not believe about this, but I know who's the killer." I whispered in her ear. Everleigh pulled me closer.

"Sssh. Come on." She kept pulling me until we reached the Science Lab; she closed the door after she assured me that no one was inside the room. "Spill it. Dimi."

"Did you see this? This is the book of death." Her curiosity changed into a disbelief expression. "Believe me! I wrote here, Uncle George. Even Agata and Cassidy. Look!"

She scanned the book for a second.

"Listen Dimi, not just because you listed these names in this book it means this is possible."

"But.. Everleigh, at first I also thought that, but look three of them died consecutively." I whisper, trying to convince her.

She shook her head as if I were telling her something about aliens. "Stop it, Dimi. They just died. That's all, no book nor black magic."

After talking with Everleigh, I hardly try not to imagine what I wrote just happened.

The classes were dismissed earlier because of the incidents, so I walked to Auntie Brenda's house when I saw Daddy outside the home of his second family.
