The 3rd Floor

Chapter 34

The more I sat there thinking about this, the more I wondered how long Emily was like this. To be more specific, how long she had been mentally insane!

I wonder if she's always been this way. I wonder how long it took to pull this off. Lastly, I wonder if she really is the Emily we've come to know or if that was just an act.

I really wish I could ask her, but I'd bet she'd kill me before she would answer.

And her comes the gun shots again. This time, they were close, but not on this floor. I could here a couple screams, but they almost immediately went silent after they started.

The loud speaker started buzzing and a voice came on, but it wasn't the principle.

It was Emily.

"I have 4 hostages and if you all want to get out alive, you better do what I say."

I shuttered at how evil she sounded. She seemed so sure of what she was doing that it broke my heart. However, I remembered that we were just a game she played.

She never really liked us.

"First, I want the principle. Come in less than 2 minutes to Cafeteria B. Come alone." The speaker shut off and the room was once again silent.

"What do you think they are going to do with him?" a guy in the back of the room asked.

It was then that I remembered that no one but me knew it was Emily.

"Danielle, Don, I know who the killer is." I said, frowning

"Ok. Who is it then?" Danielle smiled innocently. I'm really surprised she didn't know.

"I-It's Emily." My frown has transformed into a full on scowl.

"I knew her voice sounded familiar." Don said, his voice deep and dark, but not in a scary way.

At that moment, 2 gun shots were fired downstairs. At least it sounded like they were downstairs. Then I remembered the principle.

The loud speaker boomed to life and I knew what news was about to be said.

"As you all have probably heard, I just killed your principle and none of you will do anything about it. Next, I want Kurstin, Brad, Don, Lexi, and Danielle to come to the library. I'll be waiting friends."

The way she said friends made my want to throw up. We were her puppets and she knew just how to pull our strings.

"Well, looks like we have somewhere to be." I said to Danielle and Don.

"I guess so." Danielle frowned

The 3 of us got up and started towards the door. I wanted to talk to Kurstin privately before we go to the library. That's when I remembered that we both carry our phones around in school.

I quickly dialed her number and waited for her voice.

"H-Hello?" She said barely audible

"Kurstin? It's Lexi! Yours not near the library yet right?" I waiting for her answer

"No. Brad and I haven't even left the room yet." Her voice became a little louder and I could here her and Brad talking in the background.

"Good. I just wanted to tell you that the killer is Emily, if you haven't figured it out yet. I'm bringing a pencil incase I have to stab someone, and in going to repeat, just incase!"

"We knew it was Emily when she came on the speaker the first time. I'll grab a pencil too. Brad will grab a pen." I could almost feel the nervousness pass through the phone.

"I'll have Don carry some scissors. Lets kick some butt Kurstin." With that, I hung up the phone and walked out the door.

Emily, your going down.
