School Trip Chainsaw Games

Chapter 5

Soon the Head comes back, a sad expression on her face. I stare embarrassed at the floor, slowly rising. My eyes search for somewhere to look, other than her face.

"I'm sorry. Look, I shouldn't have been so hard on you. You're right, I should've warned the classes. But I just couldn't do it! The parents would never allow it, and now I've broken the rules. Leather Face is still out there, anywhere - and I've just took bunches of 13 year old girls to the camp he once killed at... What have I done?"

I'm stood dumbstruck, able to meet her eyes. They plead my forgiveness, and I give in.

"No-no, it's alright. Like you said, he's probably left here now-"

"But the man you saw!

"Was probably just my imagination. I over-reacted, as always, to get attention. I'm sorry!"

There's an awkward silence as we stand, shuffling from foot to foot with nothing to say. She soon breaks the awkwardness as she takes my arm and pats me gently on my shoulder, reassuring me that I'm not in trouble. I sigh at her kindness - it's strange being so close to a head teacher.

"What happened, Em?" Vicki asks.

"Ugh, nothing. Stupid Head had a little 'chat' with me of my behaviour. She gets on my nerves, that little b****," I reply, though secretly that was not close to the truth at all. She's not that bad at heart.

"The man! What happened, has he been arrested? Ugh, I hope so, that perv! I mean, there are paedophiles everywhere these days. Kidnapping young girls and using them for abuse or sex..." She carries on endlessly about how 'suspicious looking men should be locked up' and never stops to let me say a thing. Not that I want to, anyway.

"...Are you listening? It's good you told us to run in time, he would've killed us! Or raped us, you never know with these things. Thank you, Em - you saved my life."  I sigh and hug her, tears welling up in my eyes. I didn't save her life, the man never disappeared. And I especially don't know where he's gone or what he's planning to do. For all I know he could've been Leather Face...

Stop! Leather Face isn't real, he's just a stupid 'Urban Legend,' like the book. The man wasn't even real, I bet. Probably just my mind playing tricks.

There's someone in the distance, I see him. While Vicki is still jabbering on, I see a man with a wicked smile, demented and deformed. A loud noise comes from the object in his hands, looking very sharp - and bloody. Red, rich splotches of blood is stained on the dangerous looking object. My mind is a big fuzz and blur and I can't think straight at all. He's just... there.

Without warning, my legs take over and run the other way, screaming at the top of my lungs. Everyone covers there ears and runs too, taking to safety in the bedrooms. The Head comes out and tries to calm us down, but she can't. When we're all inside, she motions for us to sit and explain. Before anyone else can make a noise, I stand up.

"Before me was a man. A man with a dangerous object, with blood on it. I can't really explain his appearance, except for his deformed mouth. And I just turned and ran, telling everybody else to, too."

There's complete silence in the room, only the sound of everyone's deep breathing echoing from wall to wall. The Head stares at me anxiously. I use my eyes to plead her to believe me, and she understands.

"Sh, now. He's gone - and never coming back. Don't be scared, everyone. You'll be alright," is all she manages to say. We're told to get in bed after that and go to sleep with no talking, but as usual no one obeys the rules.

"Seriously, Emma? A man? Ha! Attention seeking... As always," Chloe scoffs. I growl angrily at her, ready for an argument. We usually fight, but when we aren't we're really close friends. Now is the time she's p***** off with me.

"Bitch, I don't see you being the bravest one of the group. Cowering in the corner, weren't you?"

"Ha, yeah right. You're the bitch, making lies up to suck up to the Head. Loser."

"Is 'loser' your best insult? Pfft!"

"Ugh, get a life and stop being such a drama queen. Nobody cares about the imaginary man you keep picturing. Just stop!"

I climb into bed angrily, thrusting the bed covers over my body and slamming my head down on the pillow. Chloe does the same, with more force though. She's been a real bitch today.

"Night Vicki, night Emily," I state, sighing as I close my eyes.

I'm back in the old dream, tied up on a chair. The man is a few metres away from me, holding a chainsaw on full power. He slowly takes steps towards me, an evil grin on his ugly mouth. The blood stain smell waft up my nose, making me crinkle it in disgust.

Feeling the familiar feeling of fear and anxiety, I try to scream, but my lungs are red raw and hurting terribly. The spinning blade is nearing my neck, but at the last second he slams it down on my arm, slicing through the flesh and bone.

The pain is absolutely excruciating, unimaginable. Soon, a weight falls and my arm has been cut off jaggedly. Blood splashes the walls, some spraying back on my face as he begins on the other arm. It's obvious now - he's cutting off my limbs.

I scream in pain, but there is no help coming my way. I think I'd rather die than put up with the pain though. Blood draining from my body, I begin to go limp and cold. Soon, my heart just... Stops.

I wake up again, drenched in my own sweat. My heart thumps wildly in my chest, banging quicker and quicker the longer I stay in the dark. There's a dark shadow in the corner, and quiet footsteps sounding around the room. A man appears with a chainsaw right before my eyes. And then suddenly disappears. I feel cold and fall into darkness.

OMG! So, another big, interesting chapter. Going too fast? Well, it's chapter 5... Um, I think I'll keep it this way! :D

What did you think of this chapter? I already have in mind what is going to happen in the future, which I think you'll hopefully like. Please vote and comment telling me what you thought. Also, remember to follow for a follow!

THANX!!!! :D

(P.S I was wondering if any of you could help broadcast this story, I think it needs a bit of a push. If you tell me when you have, I'll dedicate this chapter to you! Oh, and the next update will take quite a while, I think. Not sure. Maybe 4 days to a week, something like that. I really appreciate though that its views are already raising, just what I was hoping for! My biggest ever wish for this is to become on of the books with like, 10K views... But that's kinda selfish. Still, only YOU can help, so please do help. THANX!!!)
