Note: Okay..... same stuff as the second chapter, please be cautious!

Waking up with tears in her eyes, Madi jolted up from her bed. There were dings from her phone. It was from an anonymous person. She warily got up and picked up her phone. Clicking open Instagram, she squealed in horror. There was a body, bloodily and brutal. Next to it, was a table with a girl on it. Her eyes covered with a blindfold. The next image was of the back of a boy, a floof of hair on his head, standing at a bus stop. Junior. She threw her phone at her bed, Instagram still open and another image is sent. It was of a cut off tongue. She exited it and blocked the person, crying. Calling 'The Cool Kids' she waited. Abby picked up and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The person, there-there was an Instagram account and-and.." It was difficult to speak for Madi with tears running down her face, terrified. Dan joined the chat, video cam on.

"What's up?" Is what he wrote on a note card and showed to the camera. The fluid had destroyed his throat, and he was still healing.

"Instagram account and-and it was Joshna-" Dan and Abby's face froze, surprised and terrified.

"Was Emmanuel there too?" Abby asked quietly, mostly scared for the answer. Madi nodded her head heavily, crying harder.

"The cops!" Dan exclaimed, forgetting his voice was horse and sounded like it was ripped apart. This followed with a heavy cough from what sounded like blood. He came back signing, 'Sorry.'

"Dan's right, You should tell the cops." Abby said, with a calm tone. "I can go on you account and do it, okay?"

Madi nodded, "I blocked them so-"

"Got it, be right back." Abby said, leaving the call.

'It'll be okay' Dan signed trying not to speak again.

"Junior was also there so that means he wasn't the murderer, right?" Madi asked slightly calming down. Dan responded with a shrug, that's when Abby joined back.

"They deleted their account. We have to be careful. It can't be any of us? Right?" Abby asked trying to mask her fear. "We know it can't be Madi because she hates that stuff. Not me since I can't kill. Dan because he wouldn't poison himself."

"They tried to kill me." Dan muttered softly. "I-I almost died. I was so scared." Dan squeaked trying to stay quiet so it would hurt less.

"We just need to stay together. Dan, when are you coming back to school." Madi asked, trying to remain as calm as she could.

"Doc said I could today as long as I brought my medicine and didn't speak that much." Dan whispered, "I-I could still die. But, they said I should be okay." Dan was in the hospital for 2 weeks. He still doesn't look the same since he swallowed that drain cleaner. It was inside of his water.

"Alright. Then we can try and bring you up to date with our daily activities." Madi smiled slightly. It was 4 am and both of her friends were awake to comfort her on a school night. They all talked for a bit til it was time to get ready for school.

Seeing Dan in real life was different than seeing him on video. He seemed smaller, skinnier, and jumpier. He showed his arm were they had plugged IV's inside of him, and told them most of the things the doctors did to him. Blood test, urine test, chest x-rays, they even put a camera down his throat.

"I remember laying there after I puked, thinking I was gonna die. I remember feeling like my chest was getting torn apart and my throat just burned." Dan muttered, mostly shaking from the memory. People were slightly near to him, though.

Madi was still scared that her friend would just pass out all of a sudden and die, so she was cautious around Dan. She even helped him with his locker. Until one day, an arm fell out.

-

Joshna was crying, slightly. Looking down at her right arm, all she saw was blood. It was gone. It had something tied around it, as if her torturer was trying to make sure she was still alive. She went ahead and let herself pass out, just wanted to die at this point.

-

A scream echoed through the hall. People were crowding around the arm, Madi stood there horrified. Dan was coughing up blood from screaming. Teachers were pulling students away and yelling for them to go to their classes. The cops were there, grabbing Dan and Madi's arm. Madi was crying from anxiety and struggling to breath. Dan was trying to whisper to her to calm down, blood rolling down his chin. The cops sat them both down in Ms. Day's office, standing behind them.

"These gentleman just need to ask you both a few questions." Ms. Day said in her annoying voice.

"Do you think we killed someone?!?" Dan muttered angrily. "She can't even hurt a fly ad I've been in the hospital for two week getting tubes stuck inside of me." Dan's voice was raising, Madi was tugging at him to calm down, scared the fact they got cops involved. He sat down abruptly to cough more. Abby walked into the office looking confused, until she saw her two friends and relaxed slightly. Abby sat down next to Madi, Dan continued to cough into a Kleenex tissue.

"Do you two have any information about anything going on?" A police officer asked walking in and standing next to Ms.Day. His badge read 'Adam Young'.

"There was someone who sent me a picture. It-it was of Emmanuel, I think. And- and Joshna was there. I think she was still alive. I think Junior is next." Madi stated out, staring at the ground. The room was silent. You could hear kids yelling across the hall. Adam nodded too the two behind her.

"Do you have the photos?" Adam asked Madi, talking in a low calm voice.

"The account's deleted." Abby told defensively. The three were staring at the cop, daring him to say it was one of them.

"Alright. You can go back to class." Adam said after a moment of silent. The three of them walked to Ms. Lanthanum's room. They had yearbook in the early morning now. They sat at the table in silence.

"Guys. What if we're next." Aiden asked, breaking the silence.

"What do you mean if we're next? They tried to kill Dan!" Madi exclaimed, pointing at Dan.

"I meant like what happened to Emmanuel, Joshna, and Junior." Aiden explained, bouncing his leg nervously. He probably missed Liv, he was going to get to visit Texas for a week soon.

"I only know one thing." Dan said, surprising them. "Whoever it is, is close with us."

"What do you mean?" Abby questioned, being slightly slow.

"What I mean is, it could be one of us."
