" What hit me?" I ask.
" Dont ask." Says Truman
He helps me up and I see Kyndalyn bleeding out on the ground.
" What the fu-"
" She hit you in the head." He says interrupting." She tried to kill you because of a baby and she used us for protection." He tells me.
Then my phone goes of. I look down and it was from katy.
' we're ready!" She says.
We walk down the tunnel and them we find the top part that katy told us about.
We climb up and see the others jumping down. The room was huge and an oval shape. Then just past the middle part of the oval was an opening that lead to a lounge area. Then there was a door past the couches in the lounge area. We see two gaurds walk out and they are talking to someone in the room. It sounded like a guy, and a girl can be heard in the back.
" Go around the corner and hide now!" Says katy.
We do as we're told and go hide around the corner away from the lounge area. We hear the gaurds start talking to katy.
" Hey katy. " Says one of them in a low voice
" Hey! How are you? You look good! " Says katy in a flirty way.
" What is she doing?" Isabel whispers to us.
" I don't know! Shut up!" Says Alyssa Whispering back.
" So, how about we go back to my room and have a good night? Yall can bring some beers from the waiting room of you want." says katy.
What the hell? Is she going to give up on us? I think to myself.
" OK." They say.
I look over and see the walking over towards the door.
" She's leaving!" I say to Alyssa.
Before Alyssa could say anything katy pulls out both daggers and hugs from both of them from behind, slicing from side to side. Their guts falling onto the floor.
" Oh, my -"
" shut up. I was leaving! Don't doubt me." Says katy as she walks up towards us.
"So what's the plan?" I ask.
" Just follow lead. " She says.
We follow her towards the exit door.
" What are you doing? We just got here!" I say
" Yeah but there not here. They probably have a leader meeting today." Says katy
" who's not here?" Asks Alyssa with a puzzled face.
" The leaders of the committee. That's why we are here remember ?" Katy says as we walk out the office doors. " Hurry we need to get back to my room " She says.
We walk and once we get into the bathroom we hear another person in there. " Be as quiet as possible" truman says
" Hey! Who's there?" Asked the voice in the bathroom.
" Go! I'll catch up later!" I say as they close the janitors door and head up the ladder.
The bathroom was a large rectangular room with five-seven urinals on the left with the stalls behind that and the sinks on the right with a mirror above that.
" Sorry. Just me. I tripped and feel into the door." I say to the voice.
Then the stall door opens up and I see him. It was someone we all knew. And someone who sent chills down out spine. It was Dan.
" I thought you were, wait. Who are you?" He asked.
" I'm, my name is Nick. " I say hesitant.
" Ok well, don't be late to class. It starts in fifteen minutes. He says as he starts walking out of the bathroom.
" OK. So I.need to be more careful." I say to myself opening the closet door.
" Hey get out of there!" He says rushing back in.
" What are you doing? Who said who could go in there." He asks closing the door . I don't know what to say so I just step back and stare at his face.
" Answer me, Nick." He says air quoting.
" I just wanted to see what's up there. " I say. I start sweating and my face gets beat red.
" Dont do it again. And where is your dorm?" He asked.
" Yes sir. I won't. And it's -" I stop to think. " C23" I say. It was josh's room # because he hasn't been classified as dead yet.
Dan walks out and this time I wait to make sure he is completely gone.
I wait for a while. I pull,out my phone and start to text Josh. I ask him what his key code is but he doesn't reply. After waiting for about thirty minutes I walk out and look around. Making sure Dan wasn't going to follow me. I go and sit and josh's door.
" You son of a bitch!" Said a guy and he picked me up by my shoulders and slammed me into the door behind me. My gun fell out of the holster and onto the floor. I wish I had that bat now.
" You did this! You did! You're the reason she's gone! You are!" He said. The guy was at least seventeen or eighteen. His skin was a darker tan. His hair was short and black. He was just a little taller then me.
" What are you talking about?!" I ask.
" You took her away! It's your fault. And now you're going to pay." He said. I couldn't figure out what he was talking about. Then, it clicked in my mind. He meant Kyndalyn.
" I'm sorry. I didn't want to. But she came after me with a bat. " I say. His grip tightens on my arms. His eyes start watering and he grits his teeth.
" She was pregnant! With my baby! " He says. " She was the love of my life! She only went to you seeking protection. If she was with me and pregnant we both would've been killed and they would've taken our child. So we split up. She was with you guys. And when she heard Dylan died she lost hope in you. Dylan was a pansy. He lost his life like a dumb ass. He died in the hallway and he was un armed. But you were. And you didn't save him. Kyndalyn didn't think some Shit head like you could keep her safe. Or that nerdy fucker could -"
" leave Truman out of this! He saved us more than I can count and he even kept her alive even after Dylan died and you have no right to talk about Dylan!" I say interrupting the boy. I was infuriated by what he said. Truman was my best friend and he saved us and cheered me up when I needed it most. But he said Dylan. Dylan is gone and I have tried so hard to put that behind me. I have tried so hard to forget about what happened. But after what he said to Dylan. I couldn't forgive him. He was going to die. A very slow death.
" Why did you interrupt me? Was I done talking? No! I wasn't so shut the -" He starts
" No! You shut up! You have no right to talk that way about them. If your gonna hurt someone, hurt me! Leave them out of this!" I shout in his face. I start to cry a little. Only because I started thinking of Dylan.
His grip tightens even more and his nails are digging into my skin. I feel the blood start to trickle down my arms. I let out a light scream. He starts to throw me repeatedly into the door. My head slamming onto the door every time.
I swing my left foot forward and into his groin. He drops me and I fall to the floor. Everything is blurry and I'm dizzy. But I see the guy start getting up. I look next to me and grab my gun. I shoot him in the left shin. He falls and he is down on one knee.
" I bet you wish you could've stood like that for Kyndalyn. Oh yeah she's dead!" I say tourmenting him and then shooting him in his right shin. He is down on his knees and I get up, walk over to him and kick him down. He lies on his back, and looks up. I put the gun down. I think about what's happening. Then I remember what he said about Dylan. He's not getting off that easy. I aim, and shoot him in the groin. He screams and flops around on the floor like a fish, gasping and panicking to reach water. I crouch down beside him, I look into his eyes. I could see the rage building. I put the barrel of the gun to his for head. I pull the trigger.
Blood splatters all over the floor. I stand up and look at my phone. The time reads 5:12pm. I also received the text from Josh. It read ;
" Why do you need to know that? And where are you?"
I don't respond. I don't want them to worry about me. I don't know why but I feel guilty. I don't know why, but I did. I say in the hallway and got down on my knees. I start to prey. I go on about how in sorry and if he can make the feeling go away. As I preyed I felt safe. I don't know what it was but I felt so secure.
I stop preying and head to the bathroom. I make sure I'm not being followed and I go into the closet. I'm half way up the ladder and I hear the door behind open. I hear a click noise.
" I told you not to come back here. You didn't listen." Said Dan. He starts to chuckle. I wait patiently for him to ask the next question. Instead I feel something that I can only assume is a bullet hit the back of right shoulder. I could feel the cold metal rip through the skin, smash into bone cracking and shattering it. I feel the bullet penetrate my lung. I let go of the ladder and fall backwards. My body is limp. I feel so tired. I feel as if I'm flying as I fall. Then I see nothing.
