Death came knocking

chapter 2

I was sitting in English when it happened. I was in the middle of daydreaming about talking dogs -Mrs. Dibble's monotone voice always did that to me, her voice was always so boring that it made me dream the weirdest things- there was a high pitched scream just outside the classroom, I snapped out of my day dream when I felt that same uneasiness that I had felt all morning, only this time it was much stronger, I looked around the class everybody had stood up and were running around the class like maniacs, I was about to ask my friend Pippa what was happening when I saw it, there was a boy with a knife in the classroom, I couldn't see who it was though because he had a balaclava over his head, the boy started talking in a voice muffled by the balaclava,

"Run Abby" everybody started to scream at me, it was then that I realised the boy was asking for me. quickly I turned around and saw the other door leading out of the room, without a second thought I ran out it and into the next class, obviously these people here had heard what was going on because the teacher was trying to calm people down. I kept on running ignoring peoples steers, I  ran so fast that I didn't realise that I ran into someone until the last moment, I looked up to see my crush (Simon) looking down at me

"Abby!" he said "what's happening?"                                             

"There, is, a, boy, with a knife, he's after me" I said panting

"S#*t!" he stepped back "you'd better go then"

I looked up at his face I wanted to say something but I knew I had to get away as fast as I could. I ran out the door stumbling on people's bags on the way, as soon as I was in hall way I stopped to see which way to go, I was halfway thru contemplating on whether to go outside or say in the building, when the boy came into my sight, "darn" I muttered he was blocking the door to outside, I turned a sharp right going down another hallway, I knew where I was going to go, I ran halfway down the hall until I got to the sign on a door that said in big letters JANATORS CLOSET, I flung open the door and got inside as fast is I could, a soon as I was inside I closed and locked the door, I slowly slid down the wall panting, why is he after me what have I ever done? I was thinking of where I had seen that guy before when I heard a clatter of brooms hitting the floor, I stood up

"Who, who's there?"

There was no answer just footsteps followed by heavy muffled breathing

"Oh f#@k!"

I turned around as fast as I could, I tried to open the door but then I remembered it was locked

"S#*t" I swore again

I stood by the door looking left and right for another exit, I saw the boy coming closer and closer, I knew I had to make a decision fast, I then ran to the door that the guy came through, luckily the idiot forgot to lock it, with a turn the door opened, I ran out of the closet and back down the hallway towards the main doors, I slammed into the doors as hard as I could but they would not open

"Abby, Abby, Abby" I heard the boy whispering my name over and over again.

Quickly I turned down another hall and ran into the girls bathroom and into one of the cubicles locking it, half hoping that the boy had some manners and wouldn't dare come into a girls room, but unfortunately he had no manners at all, I heard the footsteps and the heavy breathing that I knew would haunt me forever if I ever lived through this, slowly the boy started kicking the door of the cubical that I was in

"Abby, Abby, Abby, you hurt me you know" the boy kept whispering

Knowing the door wouldn't hold for long I climbed under the wall and into the next cubical

Seeing me the boy whispered again "bad mistake"

I ran to the door but before I could get it open the boy grabbed my leg and dragged me back, he held me to the wall and started stabbing me over and over, after the first few times I  started to go numb

"Who are you?" I managed to get out

Slowly the boy lifted his balaclava,

"It's" stab "me" stab.

On that last stab I felt myself leaving my body. I never got to see the white light, but I did see something, me! Lying on the ground being stabbed again and again.
