"So?" Mr Kellan prodded.
"I'll get straight to the point," Ember said, sitting on the chair in front of him almost knocking into a stack of paper. "The mirror incident wasn't an accident, was it? The blood formed words. It was an intentional thing. So what are you doing about it?"
"Sorry, kid. But that's none of your business," Mr Kellan stated.
"It sure is, Mr Kellan, and if you don't want the entire school to be in danger of this psychopath you should stop keeping this whole thing a secret and start getting help," Ember said, raising her eyebrow.
"Look, Ember, I'm already getting all the help we need. Security cameras will be installed and we'll catch this basta- guy."
"Oh, and in doing so intrude the privacy of a thousand students?" Ember questioned.
Mr Kellan stood up, took off his glasses and while shaking his head said, "That can't be helped."
"You don't even know if whoever is helping us isn't the culprit itself."
"Well, what do you suppose we do then?"

"Hell yes it is."
Ember sat down at her desk writing ideas for stories.

Ember out of fear threw the book at the wall of the bedroom."This isn't possible," Ember thought "Only I can access my notebook."
The words wrote "Stop looking for me!"
