Killer Academy

Chapter 3

I hear her scream as I land on top of her motionless body. I close my eyes and breathe in. I look up at the knife right next to her head. Slightly chipped from the impact of it hitting the concrete wall.

"Run!" I whisper into her ear. I clamber up and look down at her.

"You didn't kill me?!" i nod my head and tried not to cry. She actually thought i'd kill her. I help her up and she sprints for the door. Just before she Leaves she looks back at me.

"Thank you!" she sprints off. How could they?!! How DARE they! They can't expect us to actually kill another human. Why do they want us to kill them anyway? That's the question. I hope they don't catch her! I hear the second whistle which I recall as the signal to get out of the room. Shit! They are going to look for her body. What am I meant to do? I look down at my shaking hand. Without giving myself a chance to doubt my thoughts I lift my dagger up and slice my wrist open. I wince at the pain. I pull up my hand and gently wipe the blood on the floor and walls near the corner the girl was sitting in earlier. I then place my hand in my shirt and walk out the door to see two men standing there, waiting for me.

"Did you kill it?" I nod my head. She's not an it! She's a human. I hear them laugh. Oh god! I said that out loud.

"Go get the cleaner to clean up the body!" the taller one says to the plump one. What am I meant to say think... Think...

"oh.. You clean it up! I thought I was meant to!" they both stare at me, trying to see something.

"How do we know if you actually killed it?" I fake gasp.

"Go look for yourselves!" I say and then turn and walk towards the room we all met in earlier. I hope they fell for it.

As I walk through the doors I see that almost everyone has arrived. Some of the kids are crying but other than that everything is silent. I take a seat. And hear a loud cough.

"well this young man failed to obey orders!" I look up to see a small redhead boy being held by the collar and he's crying. I look back down at the table, not wanting to see what happens next. "So, ill show you what happens if you ever think of getting out! We will do the same to you if you dont look NOW! look back up to see her looking directly at me, i bite my lip but soon enough she looks back at him.

The lady lifts him up by holding his throat. He grabs her hand with both of his hands but cant pull her away. His face gets redder. Her nails dig in and he gasps as his skin curled back and blood pours from his mouth and throat.

"No!" I hear a girl cry I turn to see a redhead crying. Maybe his sister? The lady drops him on the floor with a loud thump. I feel my body shaking. That should have been me! It wasn't me though. I watch as the girl runs over to his lifeless body. Tears stream down her face. She cups his throat with her shaking hands. "No! No! No!" she looks at her blood stained hands and hugs him.

"Don't leave me!" she can't even cry now her body is just shaking in her puddle of tears. "You can't leave me Ryan!"

"Please head to your dorms, this way!" a lady begins to usher everyone out of the room. I fiddle with my hands. I can't imagine what I'd feel like if that was my little sister. Thank god they didn't bring her here. I walk over to the girl and kneel beside her. We don't talk but just sit and stare. I place my hand on her back.

"Rose, what's your name?"

"Alexandra" she manages to stammer before she bursts back into tears. I hug her, holding her shaking body.

"It's not your fault." I whisper as I try to hold my own tears back. I am one of those people who can't stand sad situations so it's very hard for me not to cry.

"Come on I'll walk with you!" I take her hand in mine. "It's going to be alright!" we stand and leave the room. We walk in silence down a few halls.

"Who did you have to kill?" she asks. I look at her, trying to figure her out. I swallow Before answering.

"A little girl!" then I can't help but smile as a tear streams down my cheek.

"Well this is my dorm!" she gives me a hug and whispers in my ear.

"Thanks!"

"Your welcome, see you tomorrow!" then I watch her open the door and I turn back into the hall and head for my dorm.
