KND series book 4: false accusation

Perle

The next day

Karen came to class, as she was about to sit down at her chair, she suddenly screamed bloody murder, literally, there was blood dripping out from her her table.

Shawn:what the?

Karen:(faints)

Sal:(catches her) well this is an interesting way to start the day.

Imogen: there's blood dripping out of her table, how can you be so nonchalant about that!

Sal:(gives her Karen) because it's not real blood, real blood looks thicker but feels thinner than it looks, it's also much finer. I can see lumps from here.

Samuel:how do you know so much about how blood looks.

Sal:not important right now, what we should be thinking about is why someone put fake blood in Karen's locker.

Imogen:if it's actually fake.

Sal: only one way to find out(tastes it) it's tomato sauce mixed with octopus blood, impressive.

Shawn:(scans a sample) he's right,it must be the culprit that did this.

Karina:(enters) woah,did Karen commit suicide?

Imogen:I know you hate her right now but could you not pray for her death please?

Karen:(wakes up) what happened?

Steven: someone tried to give you a heart attack, I think you should go  home, you had quite a shock.

Karen:no, I'm good, I have a test today anyway which I can't miss.

Shawn:if you insist,cbe careful okay.

Nicholas:(to Shawn)  when are we going to tell her about the footage?

Shawn:I don't know Nicholas, for now let's keep it to ourselves, she's already shaken up as it is.

Lunch time

As Karen walked to the cafeteria,she couldn't help but feel, not one, but two pairs of eyes on her, but she brushed it off. As she took a step into the cafeteria, something, or someone, tugged her hair, hard.

As she stepped back, she turned to see someone running away, before she could register anything, she looked forward and screamed at what she saw,there was a pair of scissors stuck in the ground where she stood before turning,and pieces of her hair were stuck to it.

Karen:what the heck is going on?!

By now everyone had seen what happened, she quickly ran to her next class, losing her appetite.

Samantha: whoever is behind this wasn't kidding about sending Mabel a friend.

Samuel: yeah, I just hope Madeline can help us.

Shawn:we all do, for both Sebastian and Karen's sake, more for Karen right now actually.

After school

Samuel's house

They were trying to convince Siobhan to help them, keyword: trying.

Siobhan: absolutely not, I saw Karen nearly be impaled on the head by scissors, this is one case I want no part in.

Samuel:come on Siobhan, don't you want to know who tried to kill Mabel? For Karen and Karina to stop fighting? For Sebastian to be free?

Siobhan:I do, but I don't think mum can handle another of her children's near death, or actual death this time.
