Highschool

-

Elijah was at after school homework help on a foggy Thursday night. He was in Mrs.Murphy's room working on some math homework. He had his water bottle from the vending machine outside the door, drinking it often because he had but some kool aid in it, and who doesn't like kool aid. His parents knew he was going over to a friends how for the night and would to school with them the next day. He was the only one in the room besides the teacher. The only sound in the room was Elijah's pencil scratching the paper. The teacher got a call on her phone and left the room. She said she would only be gone for at most 5 minutes, but it had been 15 minutes and she still hadn't come back yet. Elijah just thought it was a phone call gone long so, he put no mind to it. After 20 or so minutes, Elijah had to use the restroom. He left the classroom and found the hallway empty. He thought the teacher would be just outside the room. He didn't see her phone on the floor as he walked past the teachers restroom, with the call still going. He entered the boys restroom and saw blood on the mirrors. He started to back away slowly towards the door, when Elijah looked up and saw bloody handprints on the ceiling. The color drained from Elijah's face as he saw the handprints. He started to look in the stalls for something, anything, that could of caused the bloody handprints. In the first stall, there was nothing but the toilet and an empty toilet paper roll. He checked the next stall, this time, there was writing on the inside wall of the stall.
"YOU'RE GETTING CLOSER" was written in Mrs.Murphy's blood. Elijah was petrified to see what was in the next restroom stall. He opened the next door hesitantly, waiting to see what was in the stall. He was thinking of all the horrid things that could be behind the door, a mangled body, a creature that could kill him with a single stare. What he saw was much worse. He saw himself, bloodied and in chains, begging for mercy. He turned ghostly white, backing away from the stall. He bumped into something, it was large and wet. He turned around, to see Mrs.Murphy's bloody body. She was missing her hands and feet, along with the left part of her cheek. Elijah had blood on the back of his shirt, staining it a bright red. He ran out of the restroom as quick as his legs could. He ran to the office, tripping on his way to the door. He tried to tell the office lady what he had just saw in the restroom, frantic to get out of the school. The office lady told him to go back to class, thinking it was just a way to get out of detention. He tried to her that it wasn't a joke, that Mrs.Murphy really was dead. She said to get out of the office, before she made him get out herself. He ran back to the room he was supposed to be doing his math work in. He locked the door behind him and grabbed any weapon he could find, he used a stapler. He heard something, it sounded like footsteps, except, softer, almost padded. Then he heard something clack against the lockers, then again. He then figured out that what he heard was the thing that killed Mrs.Murphy, hitting the lockers with, something, it sounded like something metal. He hid underneath the teacher's desk, hoping that it would move away from the this hallway. He looked out towards the window on the window, out of fear, to see what could be seen. He saw a person dressed in all black, and was very talk. He had a large kitchen knife in his hand. Elijah just barely saw the attackers face, it was heavily scarred. He reached for his phone in his back pocket, dropping the stapler in the process. It fell to the floor with a bang in the deathly silent room. He saw that the man stopped his footsteps, to look into the room. Elijah went still, he waited to see if the attacker would try to get into the room. He heard the door handle shake, then it stopped. Elijah let out a sigh of relief, when he heard a loud crash. The attacker had used his shoulder to knock down the door. Elijah quickly grabbed the stapler, ready to use it. The attacker rushed at him, knife brandished in his hand, his eyes with death in them. Elijah, last second, ducked under his legs and ran out the door. He ran to the nearest science room, knowing there was a safe room in each science room. He quickly shut the door and locked it, scrambling to get the safe room. He practically knocked the door of it's hinges as he entered the safe room. He locked it and put the guard down as well. He went to the farthest corner of the room, shrinking into himself, making himself into a little ball. He heard fast footsteps in the hallway. He heard the door slam open, he hoped and prayed that he wouldn't be able to get in the safe room. Elijah swore he heard the attacker calling out his name, "Come on out little boy, I won't hurt you," he heard him call out. Elijah then felt through the floor shake from the attacker shaking the safe room door open. He froze when he the attacker enter the safe room, giving him a bone chilling grin. He quickly stepped towards Elijah, with the knife, that he could now see clearly. The knife had fresh blood, still dripping on it. The attacker swiped down the knife, hitting Elijah on the cheek, cutting it deeply. The attacker hit Elijah with the knife again, this time cutting his right shoulder. If Elijah kept bleeding like he was now without medical attention, he would surely bleed out in a matter of minutes. With a final blow, the attacker finally hit Elijah in the chest, just below his heart. Elijah pulled out the knife because it felt like it was burning his skin. When he did this, the deep wound started to bleeding out like a fountain. With blood pooling at the floor, the attacker took the opportunity to stab Elijah on his neck, at the carotid artery, causing Elijah to bleed out quicker. Elijah now, just barely alive on the floor, tried to crawl away, the attacker saw this and stomped his heavy combat boot on Elijah's head. With this final action, Elijah finally died. The attacker wiped the blood off of his boots, leaving his usual note of apology on the body, and left the building to the next town, to kill the next student. When Elijah's body was discovered the next day by a student, school was canceled for the next few days. The police investigated the case and found no traces of fingerprints, or footprints. All that was there was the note of apology, written in Elijah's blood. During the autopsy, they found a hallucinate in his bloodstream. The attacker had slipped drugs in Elijah's water somehow, causing him to hallucinate. Mrs.Murphy had simply dropped her phone when she ran towards a loud bang down the hallway. What Elijah saw never happened. Over the next year and a half, there were a string of murders of high school students in different towns. The attacker was never caught.

The End.
