Her

it began

I am dead. Have been, for two long years. I might have survived if he never knew my weakness. I care. I care for my friends.

They call me Her. The Ghost Girl. But my real name is Eliza. I am Eliza Hellivin. I died saving my friends. I protected them. I always will. Remember me. Remember us. Remember it.

"Eliza, Sherman, Colton, Cherry and Shelly go to 307, please." Miss Farley sung in the cold bitter air. We rose like toy soldier, as Cherry and Colton lead the way and the others for our class dispersed into the hall we hear the high ringing of Miss Farley's voice again. The room blushes like a hormonal teenager as we come through its threshold. We talked a bit as we waited and then in came the masses.

Shelli, Lisa, Aaliyah, Verity, Harry, Connor, Tobias, Derek, Zailey, Samantha, Aurelia, Jennifer and Ameria. Nearly all my friends had come in. Why, we didn't know: so we waited. Finally Miss Farley walked in; and so did a nightmare. His name was Mr Chubracabra. Lisa squeaked a single word dosed in fear, "Him..." Miss Farley ignored the groans and protests and walked to the front. He followed. She began in her song but was cut short... "Hello everyone to day we have a returning teacher. Mr Chubraca-" he held a knife above her head and hit.

THWACK!!!

Jennifer wasn't going to play and ran for the door. He intercepted and held the knife to her neck, he beckoned me closer. I slowly walked to something I didn't yet know was so evil.

Derek tried t pull me back but I did not listen. I walker closer and closer, clenching every crevice of my being. He released Jennifer from his cruel grips and plunged at me. Holding me tight he caressed my face with hate and lust. Out of this I knew what I should do.

I walked from him to the back and Jennifer was in my place in Mr Chubracabra's grip. Once I knew they knew, Lisa and Verity whispered, "3, 2, 1, go!" they turned tables in frenzy. I removed my blazer and walked towards him. The knife danced across her throat and landed on her and her alone. Cherry ran and clutched her tight; Tobias dragged Miss Farley to the back. The front of the room was obscured so I gave him me. He wanted me and took it far. But this was his first mistake, because as he took me Shelli slipped out the room and went to Mr Levi, head of year 9.

Sherman lip synced, "It's done." A single tear rolled down my cheek.

I didn't know what I'd be giving up but I wouldn't change it. Never.
