JEROME POV
"Now what?" Ian asked. Seto spoke up. ''I changed my mind. I want to leave."
"Why Quentpn asked. Seto shrugged. "I don't want anyone else to die." He said simply. So much for playing detective.
"If we do leave, it needs to be tomorrow. Look. The sun is already setting." Ty pointed out the small window.
"Everyone get the blankets and pillows!" I yelled. "We shall build a giant fort!" Everyone ran to thier rooms and got the sheets, quilts, and pillows. Seto, Mitch, and I sat on our beds while watching the fort being built.
"Dibs!" Adam shouted as he slid under it. Jason, Ty, and Quinton were also able to fit under there.
"Aw. It's Truskymudlox." Mitch said. Everyone burst into laughter.
"I'm tired." Jason whined. I made sure the door was locked and shut off the lights. In attempt to run back to my bed, I tripped twice and hit my head on the bed frame. Snickering came from the top bunk and the fort. I rubbed my forehead.
"Who put that there?" I said with a grin.
"Boo! Bad joke!" Jason whispered. I rolled my eyes and got in bed.
"Holy sh*t!" A voice said. I sat up and rubbed my eyes.
"What up?" Mitch asked sleepily.
"Quentin?" Ty asked softly. Then I saw it. The white sheets in the fort were a light pink. Everyone was up but Quentin.
"What about Tue fish?" Adam moaned. He turned looked.
"Is this a sick joke?" Jason asked nervously.
"Quentin?" Ty and Ian shook him. He didn't move. Ty put his ear near his mouth.
"Oh my God. He's not breathing." He barely whispered. I felt tears roll down my face.
"I'm out." Seto grabbed his backpack and a pillow. I couldn't move. The fish is...gone? Dead? No. I must still be dreaming. I pinched my arms. No. I'm awake.
"H-how?" Mitch stuttered. "And why only him? Why not all of us?" Seto nervously looked at Quentin.
"We need to go. I can't look at that." He said while holding back sobs.
"But...but..." I stared at his lifeless body. No way. Just, no.
"I'm going to see if the others are okay." Mitch jumped off the bunk and raced out of the room. Normally, I would make fun of him, but I can't think anymore.
"We need to get the police." Jason said.
"Its my fault...we should have just left when we had the chance." Ty nearly whispered.
"I'm with Seto. I never want to see this place again." Ian tried to hold back tears.
"Guys! The twins' parents and Jim are dead! And Mia isn't in her room!" Mitch shouted.
"You don't think she did this, so you?" Seto asked.
"Maybe she went for help." Adam guessed.
"Biggums I want to go home." I slammed my face into my pillow.
"Let's get out of here." We gathered the stuff we would need and left.
~~~~~~~
The general store was finally in our view. We had been walking forever.
"Its getting dark. Let's just go in there." Ian panted. It was cold yet hot at the same time. Stupid sun and snow.
"Whatever." I muttered. We went through the back doors and laid our stuff out. Seto dropped his bag. It landed with a loud clinking sound.
"What was that?" Ian asked curiously. Seto held his backpack closer.
"None of yo business!" He said like a little kid. We laughed tiredly and set everything down.
"So...tired." Ty groaned as he hit his head on the pillow. I agreed. I closed my eyes and fell asleep quickly.
