Jack

My hands are shaking with fear. I have been in this room several times before but not on this side of it. Maddie told my roommate that I should meet her in her room at 3pm. It's 3.45pm, so I stand and walk towards the door. Something glistens on what was Michaela's desk. I walk towards it and find a key and a note.

I know who killed her and
I need your help.
Go to the dining room and open
The supplies cupboard.
Maddie.

I stand at the supplies cupboard door and turn the key round in the rusty lock until the door creaks open. It is very dark but I can still make out a figure sitting on a bucket in the centre of the crammed cupboard. I flip the switch and the lightbulb slowly flickers on. Maddie' s eyes are wide open yet they are bloodshot and under her eyes are blue which contrasts her pale blotchy skin. She hands me a letter with my name on it written in swirly cursive writing on the front. I start to open the envelope but she stops me "Who?" She says staring through me as if her demons are behind me and I am not there. "Excuse me?" I whisper extremely confused. "Who do, do you think kil- killed her?" She stutters out whilst pushing me against the door in rage. She is freakishly strong for her ghoulish and freight fully skinny physique. I try to back away but her grip only tightens as her eyes get bigger and more dazed looking. "Do you want the truth?" I ask her. She lose a her grip and staggers back as if she has been shot. Her twig legs collapse under her and she breaks down sobbing. I try to comfort her but she starts to scream again. "Yes!" She screams through tears. "Your father." I say blankly. She stands up rapidly and calmly struts out of the cupboard. She locks the door from the outside. All I have with me is he letter

Dear Jack,
I never write to you, but today I have to. You might never get this and hopefully you won't, but if you do give it to the police. I tried to warn you to save myself but it was too late. If you are reading this my sister has murdered me. I know this may be hard to believe but you know I would never lie to you. I can't tell you how she done it because it obviously hasn't happened yet. There is something seriously wrong wit her Jack that my family knows but I don't. Please get her he help she needs, because I'm not here to help her anymore. I think she was jealous of me or her demons took over her. I know that's no excuse to kill someone but... just help her Jack. Please.

Love,
Michaela
