KND series book 4: false accusation

Danger lurking

Monday

Karen was on her way to her locker,as she opened it, she immediately hot with a paper ball. Slightly annoyed, she bent to pick it while opening her locker. She unfolded it to read what was written

Karen:(reads) be mindful of your head, be careful with your heart. What does that even-(screams in horror)

In her locker was a jack on the box that held a knife, apparently it had shot out as she opened her locker, if she hadn't bent, she might've been stabbed in the chest. People had gathered round to see what was happening, in the commotion, Steven managed to squeeze through to have a closer look

Steven:(notices a paper in the box) what's this?(shows Karen)

Karen:it must be another note. (Opens it)(reads) if you're reading this then you either survived the attack, or someone else is reading this. If it is you Karen, be ready, because what's coming your way is nothing you'll be prepared for. (Faints in shock)

Steven:(catches her) okay you have got to stop fainting. Good thing Taylor isn't here.

Taylor:(from the crowd) STEVEN!

Steven:spoke too soon(carries Karen away)

PE class

Karen had just finished PE, she was the last to shower so when she came to change, everyone else was gone. As she changed, she heard someone hit a locker, she turned to see the same person from before, she knew because she recognised the hair and clothes

Karen:hey, you're the one who saved me last week, I never got to-

The girl took off

Karen: hey!(follows her) wait up! Why are you akward running-

Before she could finish he statement, she heard a tud, she turned, only to that a bowling ball had fallen in the spot where she stood.

Karen: what the hell?! (Leaves quickly for class)

Homeroom

Karen enters quickly and goes straight to Shawn.

Karen: I don't know what's happening, but someone's tried to kill me, twice, just today! I want to know if there's been any progress, because whoever's behind all this obviously doesn't like Sebastian or me.

Shawn :{wish I could tell you that you had it backwards, but I can't risk putting in any more danger. It's bad enough that the culprit wants to kill you even though you know nothing, who knows what she'll do if she finds out you know something vital} it's not something you would understand, all you need to know is that we are doing our best to gather as much Intel as possible.

Karen: okay, but make it quick, I'm not sure how much more of this madness I can take.

Steven: maybe you should just head home, you'll feel better tomorrow

Karen: are you sure? I'm not used to skipping school.

Imogen: well you won't be able to not skip school if you're dead.

Samantha: Imogen!

Imogen: what? She knows the person wants her dead, it's not like I'm jinxing it.

Karen: I'll head home(leaves class)

As she heads out of school, she is suddenly drawn back by someone,she quickly holds the person's hand and turns. It was the same girl from before.

Karen: why do keep running away? Thanks by the way for saving me.

Perle: watch where you go, danger lurking around.(points to the steps)

Karen looks to see pins neatly arranged ready to be stepped upon, they looked long and sharp enough to pierce through bone
