STORM AND THE MIST
A Book
By Mr. X



Welcome to Boromir Catholic College a normal, everyday high school. But today is very different, especially for the class of 7.2. Revenge, suspicion and treachery is in the air as a killer that walks among them begins to take them down one-by-one. As the storm that has trapped them inside continues, the students begin to turn on each other.

Death is inevitable…

Escape is impossible…

Welcome to Boromir…

The thunder roared outside the classroom windows. The sky was dark as pitch and the rain pattered heavily on the roof.

“And that looks like the end of the lesson today.” said Mr. Azar.

At that moment everyone broke into heavy chatter. Mr. Azar sat reading the Daily Telegraph at his desk. Daniel kept saying that the Knights were going to beat Penrith in the footy on Sunday. Ewan, Duy, Arden and Jake sat at the table talking about how dumb or fat Jake was and who the best captain of the Star Trek Enterprise was, among other nerdy things. Ewan was reading his newspaper.

“Hey look at this. A new debate is going on for how the government is going to get new coronial investigators. Due to the shortage of crime scene investigators and the increasing amount of crimes being committed in Australia the government has decided for drastic action.” read Ewan.
“Don’t worry. I’m sure the government will find a way to solve the problem,” said Jake.

Matthew, Justin, David, Patrick, Peter and Spiniola were talking about how easy it was going to be for them to defeat the Arncliffe Touch team. Whenever Daniel interrupted they told him to piss off and they also said a number of other colorful things to him. Tommy was complaining to himself, Emily, Caliya, Raita, and the other girls all chattered to themselves. Every one of them was talking to each other except Sarah.

She looked at the clock. The clock (which read 3:05) was the main reason that she had picked out a seat near the Teacher’s desk. As well as that no one could bully her.

Then out of nowhere a paper ball went flying across the room and hit Matthew. Matthew was already in a bad mood because of Daniel and whoever did this had pushed him over the edge. He turned round and saw Sarah with a scrunched up piece of paper in her hands.

“Hey, What’s the big @#%*ing idea throwing paper at me you little Nigelete.” he said. He wasn’t usually this angry with anyone but Daniel. Sarah was about to say something but Daniel cut her off.
“Why don’t you go back to where all the other weirdos are.” he said.

At that moment Sarah burst into tears and ran out of the classroom. Mr. Azar saw this and got up along with Jake. Jake spoke first.
“What the hell is wrong with you. You just yelled at someone who didn’t even hurt you.” Jake yelled.
“Oh Shut up Cooper. Why don’t you just go out there and kiss her better?” said Mat.
“Well at least I’m going to be decent enough to return her bag.” Jake walked over to Sarah’s desk and picked up her bag.
“A Little girls Bag suits you Jake.” said Matthew.
“Dickhead” Jake murmured. Matthew got up and faced Jake.
“You wanna pick a fight with me huh?” said Matthew as he pushed Jake.

Jake swung at Matthew and got him in the jaw. A small spray of blood hit the wall. Then Matthew started to take a few swings at Jake. Let’s face it, Jake didn’t have much of a chance. Jake dodged one but wasn’t so lucky on the second, third, fourth and fifth punch. By the end of it he didn’t look too good.

Mr. Azar yelled “Quit it!” and they both stopped. Jake walked out of the room staggering.
“Oh Yeah! Come Back here Chicken @$#&!”

“Matthew, don’t make it any worse. That’s the second time you two have had a fight. It’s worse enough that you’ve been picking on Daniel but now two more students. No wonder Mr. Robertson banned you from woodwork. That is it. If you two can’t work together you won’t work at all. From now you two are suspended until you can learn to work together.” he finished.

“Thanks a lot Daniel!” said Matthew.
“What! What did I do?” Daniel said, the light reflecting off his sunglasses.
“You got me suspended ya stupid %$@#!”
Daniel got up. “That’s it, I don’t have to put up with this @$#&!” he yelled before leaving the room.

At that moment the announcement siren went off.
“Attention all students. Due to the weather we have advised all students to please stay indoors. There is a medium level hailstorm going outside so we have all been told to stay indoors until it is over. Thank you.” The announcement ended.

“Oh this day keeps getting &*%$ing better doesn’t it.” said Matthew.

“You all heard the announcement. Until the storm is over all of you stay here and read. I’m going up to the office to get you all newspapers so stay here until I come back.” And with that Mr. Azar walked out the door. About five seconds later the entire room exploded with conversations once again.

Chapter: 1 The Canteen

CONVERSATION 1: THE NERDS

“Wow! Did you see that! Jake just clobbered him. That doesn’t happen every day.” said Ewan.
“Yeah. I wonder why Jake was so pissed off.” said Duy.
“Meh. Don’t worry. Jake always calms down after something like this happens.” Arden stated.
“Anyway, what was I talking about. Oh that’s right. So anyway, while I was at the shooting range I got to carry a Magnum 24. Thanks to that gun I passed the Handgun test with flying colours.” Ewan said.
“So does that mean you can carry a handgun around for protection?” asked Duy in a sarcastic tone.
“Well, I’m not supposed to but I have training after this so I thought I’d bring it with me. But before you ask. No! I am not taking that gun out of my bag, It’s bad enough that I’ve brought it to school.”
“Oh, so they haven’t given you your license to kill yet huh. Don’t worry. We don’t forgive you peanut.” said Arden.
“Stop calling me that,” said Ewan in a strange but stern voice. “ I better put my books in my locker. I’ll be back in a second.”


CONVERSATION 2: HUNGER

“@#%*ing Jake. Remind me to beat the @$#& out off him at the end of school.” said Matthew. “How’s the bleeding going.” he asked Justin. “It looks serious bro. You’d better get an icepack or something.”
“That’s it I’m going over to the Canteen.” Matt said.
“How can you? It’s all shut off. No one will be there.” said Wasim.
“That’s the idea Wasim!” Matt then left the room through the back entrance.

Ewan walked out the back entrance and walked up to his locker. He turned around to make sure no one was looking and then turned the key. The locker opened and he quickly put his books in the locker, although quickly for Ewan was slow motion for Duy and everyone else. He then saw the shiny handle of the handgun. “Idiot’s” Ewan thought to himself with a snigger as he put the gun in his pocket. “This will teach them for teasing me.”

He heard a creak in the floorboards for a second. He spun around and saw through the window some of the kids from 7.4 banging on the door that lead to 7.2 (His homeroom). Bang! Went the hail outside. Ewan turned around and saw the cafeteria.

“Well, I suppose I am a bit hungry.” Ewan thought to himself. He shrugged and headed towards the entrance to the Area C. He stepped out right when a huge chunk of ice hit the ground in front of him.

“Medium level storm, my @$$.” he said. He sidled over to the sheltered bubbler and walked past the Undercroft Area. He stepped on some sunglasses and looked down. They weren’t too badly damaged. He picked them up and pocketed them. He continued to walk over to the Canteen.

The shutters were opened and the Mars Bar rack looked untouched but then he realized that something was behind it. He saw a small container of Milk in the fridge.
“Buggar the Mars, Get the Milk, The MILLLKKKK!!” Ewan thought to himself. He walked over to the Fridge and grabbed the key. He fitted it into the slot and opened it. He loosened his grip on the key and it fell out off his hand. “Damn it.” he said to himself.

Ewan bent down and then noticed that someone was lying on the floor not moving. It was Matt. He backed away in shock for a second. He slowly put his left foot forward and bent down closer to him. He bent closer down to his face. He was bleeding from his nose. Ewan looked closer.

“Are you okay?” he said in a small voice.
Matthew’s eyes opened. “What the $%#@ are you doing?!” he said with his hand around Ewan’s neck.
“You were unconscious so I thought you might have been hurt and-” Ewan stopped. He fell silent. Matt let go of him and got up.
“Why are you here anyway?” asked Ewan.
“None of your business.” he said.

Ewan’s eyes quickly darted to Matthew’s hand. He was holding a knife that had a red smudge on it. Ewan didn’t have to take a guess to know what that red smudge was. He then looked behind Matthew and saw an arm poking out from in behind the back counter.

“What the hell are you staring at?” Ewan looked back at Matthew with wide eyes.
“What have you done?” Ewan said with a jump in his voice. He pushed past Matt and walked into the kitchen and saw the canteen lady lying on the floor with a huge bloodstain on her apron. He nearly slipped because of all the water on the ground. Matt entered the kitchen.
“What the $#*@ happened here?” he said as he saw the body of the canteen lady.
“You can’t think that I killed her,” said Matt.

At that moment the backdoor screeched. Ewan and Matthew both looked in the same direction. The door was swinging half-broken off its hinges. Footsteps were heard outside the door. Slowly getting closer. Clak, Clak, Clak. Matthew started to move towards the backdoor but Ewan quickly stopped him.

“Are you insane? Whoever that is was able to take on the Canteen lady.” Ewan pointed down to the butcher knife in her hand. “And she was armed.” Ewan finished.
“ Now what do we do?” Matt asked.
“Run?” said Ewan quietly as he slowly backed away from the kitchen and out to the front counter. When Ewan said that the footsteps stopped.

“Huh?” said Matt. Then the footsteps started to run towards the door.
“Run Matthew! RUN!” yelled Ewan. Ewan ran out of the Canteen with Matthew close behind

. It didn’t take long for Matthew to overtake Ewan but they were still running as fast as they could. The footsteps had now hit tile so whoever it was had already made it to the kitchen. Ewan and Matthew quickly made it into the hallway with the lockers and ran up to the closed door to GO1. The footsteps were getting closer. CLAK! CLACK! CLACK! CLACK! CLACK! CLACK!

“Help! Let us in!” yelled Ewan.
“OPEN THE $%&*ING DOOR!!!” yelled Matthew.

The door swung open and they quickly jumped inside. Matt slammed the door and locked it.
“What the Hell is wrong with yous?” Claire asked.
“Someone’s killed the canteen lady,” said Ewan panting. “And whoever the sick @#$% is, is outside now.” The class all stared at them both.
“You two better not be joking about this because this is seriously not funny.” exclaimed Caliya.
“We’re not $%&*ing joking okay?!” yelled Matthew.
“Well lets go out and beat the $&*@ out of the mother $%&*er!” said Wasim as he stormed over to the door and swung the doors open wide. Ewan and Matthew shouted “NOOO!!!”

But it was too late. There standing in the hallway was…Mr.Azar.

“Why are you all out of your chairs?” said Mr. Azar as a sigh of relief spread across every ones face.
“Sorry sir it’s just these two thought you were a serial killer.” said Arden.
“Well, as far as I know I’m not. Has Jake, Sarah or Daniel come back?” Mr. Azar asked.
“No sir. They left the school. They’ve all gone home.” said Duy.
“Well how come Jake left his bag?” asked Raita.

Duy picked up Jake’s bag and looked at it. “Hey this isn’t Jake’s bag. This is Sarah’s bag.” exclaimed Duy.
“I guess he wanted to go home early.” said Wasim.
“Very strange. But not as strange as what happened at the office.” said Mr. Azar.
“Why what happened at the office?” asked Emily.
“They ran out of newspapers.” said Mr. Azar. “Now come on. I suppose you can all have free time. The storm is going to end in about an hour.”

All the kids started to head away from where Ewan and Matthew sat. They both exchanged looks that said: Did that really happen? No, it couldn’t be, it must have just been a figment of my imagination. But as that look reached each other they both thought the same thing. If that was a figment of my imagination then why did it happen to him too?

“So what happened anyway?” asked Duy.
“I already told you, why don’t you believe me?” Ewan answered.
“Well it is a bit moronic.” Arden stated.
“If there really was a murder then how come Mr. Azar didn’t see any bodies?” asked Duy.
“Well maybe he was the one who killed everyone. Duh-na-Nah! Duh-na-Nah!” said Arden.
“Very funny.” murmured Ewan. Ewan’s hand fidgeted.
“Hey calm down. Here, I’ll verse you in click tag.” said Arden.
“What’s that?” asked Ewan.
“It’s where you click your fingers and whoever clicks the most in 10 seconds wins.” explained Arden.
“No thanks, I can’t click my fingers.” Ewan stated.
“Oh, well. I’ll verse you when you learn.”


5 minutes earlier…

The hail continued to pour down onto the roof of the front office.

“Damn storm.” said Mr. McCormack. “I had an appointment today with the doctors at Westmead.”
“Don’t worry, they can re-schedule.” said Mrs. Colifay. She coughed. “I would do anything for a glass of water.” she said. Mr. Azar opened the door to the office.

“Peter, why are you here?” asked Mrs. Colifay.
“I came to try and ask if you had anymore spare newspapers for the kids to read.” he said.

At that moment Mr. McCormack saw Mr. Azar. “Ah, Peter, I just was about to ask for you to be sent down here. Come into my office.”

Mr. McCormack walked into his office with Mr. Azar behind him. Mr. Azar sat down in a chair while Mr. McCormack shut the door behind him.
“I need to talk to you about a very sensitive matter. A few weeks back an event happened at the Marrickville train station. A young boy was found brutally murdered. They managed to trace who the boy was by his dental records and it was someone from this school. When the police examined the boy’s body closer they found a hair sample of the killer. Next, they narrowed it down and now know who it is.”

Mr. Azar was shocked by this. “What does this have to do with me?” he asked.
“The killer is one of the students in your homeroom.” Mr. McCormack finished.


Now…

“I can’t believe this,” said Matthew.
“What, that you thought there was a killer in the school?” asked Wasim.
“No, $&#@ for brains. I’ve been expelled because of $%&*ing Sarah. I’m glad Helen made that article now. But that’s not enough. When I’m done with her she will regret ever being born.” said Mat.
“Yeah, you keep dreaming that man. I’m gonna take a leak.” said Justin as he walked out the door.

At that moment the front door opened and Daniel and Jake came back in. Jake pushed Daniel out of the way and sat down at his desk.

“ &*%$ing gay, $%#@.” Said Matthew under his breath. Jake ignored this and sat back down.
“So where’s Sarah?” asked Ewan.
“She ran off.” answered Jake.
“So what the hell have you been doing out there?” asked Duy.
“I ran after her but Mrs. Montouro caught me at the gate and sent me into the office. She’s going to come up here in a little while to give Mr. Azar the newspapers.” he finished.
“Fair enough.” said Ewan.
Jake leaned over the side of the desk for a second. “So, what’s happened?”

Chapter: 2 Calia’s Discovery

Justin walked into the toilets and headed over to the urinal. BANG! Went a noise in one of the stalls. Justin turned around to the noise. He started to walk over to them.
“Is anyone here!” he asked. He heard another bang. He kept walking up against the doors to the stalls.

“If this some kind of sick joke than give up now. Before I beat the $%#@ out of your puny @$$.” Justin then heard heavy breathing coming from the last stall. He looked in through the gap of the door hinges and saw a figure. “Hey! @$$hole, come out here so I can smash the crap out of you!” At that moment the door swung open…

The announcement alarm sounded and the blurry voice of Mrs. Colifay echoed through the school.
“Attention all students. The storm is now over and you may-…” The speakers went silent. “What are you doing here?” came a background noise.

Emily looked at Caliya with concern. Ewan gave Arden a “That’s weird” look.

“What are you doing?” The microphone went silent again. Then the screams began. “OOOHH GGOOOOODDDD!- AgghhhhhhhH!!!! Help! Someone help!!!!!!” went the noises.

Everyone’s ears were filled with the blood curdling screams that Mrs. Colifay was yelling into the mike. “AGGGGHGHHHHH!!!!-” There was a snap and the screams ended. There was silence.

“What the hell was that?!” asked Claire in a panicked voice.

Then another noise started to play on the mike. It was faint but it was getting louder.

RING AROUND THE ROSIE A POCKETFULL OF POSSIES A TISSUE A TISSUE WE ALL FALL DOWN!

The song continued to go over and over again like a broken record. Many students started to get out of their seats. Claire was even heading towards the door. Then a knock was heard at the door. Everyone turned around. The door handle started to turn.

“Lock it!” yelled Mr. Azar in panic. Matthew lunged at the door and locked it just in time. The door handle started to jiggle around trying to turn.

“Wait! What if it’s a survivor?” asked Tommy.
“A survivor? What do you think this is, ‘ Hannibal 4 the cannibal’ returns? I’m sure that there is nothing to worry about,” said Wendy. At that moment something smashed through the window in the corner of the classroom. Helen and Wendy screamed. Then a key rattled in the door and it was soon open. The door swung open to reveal Mrs. Montouro and a young boy. Mrs. Montouro was wearing a black coat with no pockets.

“What was that noise?” Asked Mrs. Montouro.
“Didn’t you hear the announcement?” Asked Raita.

Duy looked at the boy and instantly knew who he was. “Andrew! What are you doing here?” Duy yelled out at once.
“Mum wanted to know why you weren’t home so she sent me up to bring you home.” Andrew said.

“I saw him walking on the road when I was about to drive home so I thought I would give him a lift up to the school. Now can someone please tell me what happened here?” At that moment the door behind Mrs. Montouro slammed shut with the keys on the other side. The door locked shut.

“What the hell was that?” Caliya said. “He’s locking us in the school. He’s going to kill all of us isn’t he?” Caliya got out of her seat.

Emily stood up. “Caliya calm down.” she said.
“No! I’m getting out of here while I still can.” Caliya yelled out before turning around and heading for the backdoor.

She opened the door and ran out at full speed. Emily quickly chased after her. Caliya tried to get Emily away from her so she made a quick dash towards the exit. She wasn’t quick enough and Emily tackled her. They both fell over and tumbled into the class room next door. Emily pinned Caliya to the ground and kept her down.

“Calm down Caliy-” she began but was quickly cut short.

Emily stared in shock horror. Caliya got up and turned around. They both screamed.

All of 7.2 ran into the hallway to see what was happening. They all stood in the doorway and saw to their horror the same that Emily and Caliya did. All of the kids in 7.1 were either in a bloody mess lying on the ground, chopped into pieces with arms and legs everywhere, at their desks face down in a pool of blood or in a pile of bodies in the center of the room. Tommy’s jaw had dropped.

“Oh, my God.” said Matthew.
“What the #%&@ing hell happened here?” said Daniel. Andrew walked up to where all of 7.2 had gathered and tried to take a look.

“No! Don’t look Andrew.” said Duy shielding his little brother’s eyes.
“How did this happen?” said Christina.

Mrs. Montouro gulped. “Call the police.” she said.

Mr. Azar walked back into GO1. Tap, tap, tap. “The phones are out.” he called back with a shiver in his voice.

“I don’t like this. I don’t like this one $%&#ing bit.” said Claire.
“Look.” said Arden.

Everyone turned around to see Arden pointing up. Everyone looked upwards and saw a kid with his stomach sliced open tied up to the window. Below him was a message written in blood. It read: AREN’T YOU GLAD YOU WEREN’T IN THAT CLASS?

“Now that is $%&#ing sick.” said Helen.

Wasim ran up to the doors that lead out into area C. “The doors are locked.”
“Try breaking it with something.” said Raita.
“That won’t help. All the exit doors are fitted with unbreakable glass. Nothing can break through it.”
“So what do we do now?” asked Cecilia in a quivery voice.

Mr. Azar swallowed. “We go back in to class, people will come.” he said.
“Yeah. If whoever this sick @#$%&*! is doesn’t kill us and gut us first.” said Wasim.

Matthew had a lump in his throat. This is disgusting,, he thought.

“Go back in inside.” Said Mr. Azar.
“Yeah. This guy can’t get us all.” Said Spinola.
“You obviously haven’t been watching the reality channel have you? Whoever this is killed an entire class of kids and their teacher. Like they won’t have any trouble getting rid of us,” said Arden.

Jake quivered in his spot. Within seconds he fainted. Arden, Ewan, Tommy and Duy lifted Jake up and back into the classroom. Mr. Azar closed and locked the door behind him.

“So what now? How are we going to get out of here?” asked Duy.

Mrs. Montouro thought to herself for a moment. “There’s an emergency access ramp. It leads from outside G13 to on top of the coordinator’s office. From there we can take jump down into Area B and head for the south exit.” She paused for a second. “But just to make sure, we should see if there were any survivors. To make sure we all get out of this alive we travel in groups of at least 5 people, if not the whole class. We leave in fifteen minutes.”

Arden grabbed his bag. “So what are we going to do about Mr. Crocodile here?” asked Duy.
“We’ll have to take him with us.” answered Mrs. Montouro.
“I know, how about we leave him here for the murder to finish off, while we escape?” asked Arden sarcastically. Duy and Ewan looked at him with hard looks. “I’m only joking.” said Arden.
“Yeah, well, after seeing an entire class of students dead and a kid hung up on a window with his insides falling out, you kind of lose your sense of humour.” Said Ewan.

Patrick walked over to Sarah’s bag and started to look through it.
“Hey, what exactly are you doing?” asked Duy.
“Listen Duy. We’re all starting to get hungry so if you don’t mind, while sleeping beauty here is napping we’d like to have some of his lunch. He usually gets candy bars and things like that,” said Patrick. He pulled out a few things from the bag. An old-timey watch. A shotgun bullet. A business card for a joke shop. A wallet. School books. A tape recorder. And finally he found a bag of Doritos. “Thanks.” said Patrick as he walked away with the chips.

Mrs. Montouro walked up in front of the entire class and began to talk. “Attention.” she hollered. Jake slowly regained consciousness. “Is every one ready?” she asked.

Beep, Beep. Everyone turned in Jake’s direction. “Sorry. The alarm always goes off every 15 minutes. It vibrates most of the time but makes a noise every hour.” said Jake.
“Yes. I’m sure we all needed to know about the anatomy of watches now,” said Arden.

“Ahem! Thank you. In groups of five I need you all to go into the classrooms in the hall. If anyone here thinks that they can’t go into the rooms, please put your hand up now.” Most of the people in the room put up their hands. “Okay. Before we go anywhere we’d better mark the roll. “Matthew!”
“Here!” yelled Matthew. “Caliya!” “Here!”
“Sarah!” There was silence. “Sarah?” yelled Mrs. Montouro in a quivery voice. “Where’s Sarah?” she asked again, a tone of worry.
“She left a few hours ago.” “Yeah. She was the lucky one.” said Peter.
“Okay. Justin!” There was silence once again. “Where’s Justin?” asked Mrs. Montouro.
“Hey yeah! Where is he?” yelled out Matthew. “Last I heard he was going out to the-” He paused for a moment realizing in horror what had happened. “Oh. No…” He began.
“Now Matthew, we know what you’re thinking. Justin is probably fine.”

Suddenly a look of realization spread across Matthew’s face.
“I know who did all this. It was Sarah. I mean think about it. All the other students got whacked when she wasn’t here. She’s probably killin’ em so she can steal their stuff. Remember a month ago she tried to steal something off me. Now this #@$*! over here says that she left the school. I’m telling you that this was all done by Sarah!” yelled Matt.

“Matthew, calm down.” said Mrs. Montouro.
“I’ll $%&#ing prove it to you.” said Matthew as he stormed off down the hallway. He ran into one of the rooms trying to find a body. He finally found one and began to examine it. It was the body of Fernando, one of the nerd’s friends. He looked at the arm as if expecting to find something.

“Matthew, keep calm. I’m sure Justin is alright,” said Mr. Azar.
“Shut up! Just shut the @#$! Up!!” said Matthew.
“Matthew c’mon! You promised you wouldn’t get angry this year,” said Emily.
“This year?” asked Andrew.
“Oh, it’s my birthday tomorrow.” she said.
“You know what! I don’t even know why I’m trying to prove to you that Sarah’s the killer because in the end she’s probably going to kill us all-” Matthew was cut off when a hand from the floor grabbed his leg.

They all looked down as some of the people screamed. It was Jack Corbett.
“Jack how the hell did you survive?!” yelled Duy.
Jack panted. “It came…” he simply said.
“What came?” asked Caliya.
“Did you see the killer?” asked Anna.”
“It wore a mask. I couldn’t see. It… wass horribbblee.” he said.

“Well great. We finally find one survivor of whoever this murderer is and now we don’t even know who it is.” said Tommy.
“Hey back off, he’s trying to remember. I’d like to see how well you’d last if some guy tried to kill you.” started Spinola.
“Oh, yeah, you wanna fight me?” yelled Tommy. Suddenly Spin and Tommy started to push each other out of the room. Tommy pulled Spin out of the room too.

“Okay Break it up.” said Mr. Azar. When he was about to try and stop the fight the door slammed shut in his face. Then someone in a mask walked past the door.
“THAT’S THE ONNEEE!!!” yelled Jack the moment he saw the mask.

“Oh God!” Said Mrs. Montouro. A slash of blood went on the window. “AAHGGHHH!!” yelled some of the students. “Open the door!!” yelled Wasim. Azar pulled at the door. “It’s locked!” They all pulled on it. Bang Bang!!! The door opened. Helen gasped. On the floor lay the bloody bodies of Spinola and Tommy.

“No.” said Patrick, refusing to believe his friend was dead.
“Wait. He may not be dead. I’ll check his pulse.” said Mr. Azar as he leaned in close to the bodies. At that moment the masked man walked out from behind the corner.

“Get back in here!” said Montouro. Mr. Azar made it in just in time. The knife scraped at the door.
“$%^@ that was close.” said Raita.

Jack was still breathing heavily. The man in the mask quickly walked off.

“Duy?” asked Andrew tugging on his big brother’s blazer, “are we going to die?”
Duy paused for a second. “Not if we can help it. There won’t be anymore death today,” he said. “I think he’s gone.”

“If we’re going to get our bags and run I suggest we do it now.” said Claire.
“Good thinking. I’ll go out first. Even if the murderer is out there I want you to shut the door if he or I try to come in.” said Mr. Azar. He walked past Jack and the other bodies.

“You know something. I would seriously give anything to get one of those cakes in the Cafeteria right now. I reckon their the best,” said Daniel.
“Have you even been paying attention? Two of us have died.” said Cecilia.
“Yeah. Show some &%$#ing respect!” said Peter.
“We are all going to die…we are all going to die… we are all going to die…” Jack kept saying under his breath.
“Shut up okay.” said Anna. Mrs. Montouro didn’t say anything.

Mr. Azar popped his head out from behind the door of G01. “It’s clear,” he said.

5 minutes later everyone had crowded back into the room and was talking. Raita kept wondering why Mrs. Montouro wasn’t saying anything. She got up and sat next to her.

“Miss, are you all right?” Raita asked.
“I was just thinking about all of the people that are now dead. Each and every one of them, teacher and student, were all unique. Mr. McCormack and his forgetfulness, Mrs. Colifay and her trustfulness. Even some of the students here that are still alive are probably going to remember this for the rest of their lives.”

Raita and Mrs. Montouro sat quietly for a while, neither moving a muscle. Raita felt lucky that she was still alive. But the question that kept popping up into her head made her think. If Spin and Tommy were taken down that easily, than how much longer am I going to last?

Chapter: 3 The Edge

Ewan, Andrew, Arden, Duy and Jake all sat quietly. “Hey guys.” said Ewan. “We’re going to get going soon so just in case one of us… ya know… I just wanted to say you were all great friends. Even though we all have had our differences, it was always an honor knowing you all.” They all sat there quietly for a moment.
“Thanks, Ewan.” Said Duy.

“Patrick, are you okay?” asked Matt. Patrick hadn’t said a word since Spin had died. He had just kept looking out the window at some of the cars in the carpark. They had been pretty badly damaged. One of them even had a hole in the roof.

“Patrick?” Matt asked again.
“I just can’t believe that he’s gone.” Pat said simply.
“Well, tell me when you feel like you can talk, okay bro?”
“Yeah.”

Matt turned around with an angry look in his eye. He stared into Daniel’s green eyes as if he wanted to tear them out. No one could tell that Daniel’s eyes were green unless he had his glasses off.


“You really are a real %$&#@ aren’t you?” said Matthew. Matthew started to say a number of colourful things to Daniel. Mrs. Montouro saw this and called Matt up so she could talk to him.

Ewan pulled out one of his Simpson’s comics from his bag and started to read.
“Is that a new one?” asked Arden. Ewan looked up. “Yeah, It is actually. I got it from the Marrickville fair last week. Here I even have the little show bag pamphlet.” Ewan read it over quickly

“Ah, so you got it out of the Simpsons show bag,” said Arden.
“Hey Jake, what did you get at the Festival.” asked Duy.
“I got all the show bags. You?”
“Oh I didn’t get any. Andrew here got the Harry Potter one though. He’s obsessed with it.”
Andrew looked at Duy. “What does obsessed mean?” he asked.
“Its when you become really happy about something.” said Duy.
“Okay. What does sex mean?” Duy looked at the others. “Ah, you’ll find out when you’re older,” said Duy.

“Hey pass us that notice here again,” asked Arden. Ewan handed it to him. Arden observed it for a second. “I don’t remember a magic show,” he said.
“How come? Even me and Jake went and saw it.” said Ewan. Arden looked at the other side of the pamphlet.
“Hey, how come all magicians wear masks?” he asked. “Not all of them. Look at Dumbeldore.” corrected Ewan. “He’s a wizard not a magician.” “Still.”

After Mrs. Montouro had talked to Matt he walked back to his seat and began to yell at Daniel some more.
“I still can’t believe that you could even @%$!ing exist. All you ever %$#*ing think about is yourself.”

Daniel was on the verge of breaking. David had joined in on the name calling of Daniel. They had been calling him names now for about 5 minutes. Then Daniel cracked. “That’s it!” he said. He made a lunge for Matthew’s pocket and grabbed something shiny out of it. He flicked it open and grabbed Wasim’s arm. He held the shiny thing up to Wasim’s throat and held his right arm behind his back. “Nobody, $%#&ing move or else Wasim gets it!” he shouted.

“Hey take it easy Daniel,” said David.
“Yeah there’s been enough death for today,” said Emily.
“Just take it easy Daniel.” said Mr. Azar. Everyone was now standing. “What are you all standing for? You two!” he shouted at Helen and Cecelia, “open the back door.” They obeyed and opened the door.

Daniel had beads of sweat running down his forehead. He then pushed Wasim away and ran for the door. Matthew got up and began to run. Daniel ran out of G01 with Matthew close behind. Daniel ran towards one of the doors but was tackled by Matt. Daniel clutched the knife and took a swing at Matthew’s face. Matt ducked in time and clobbered Daniel. The knife slid across the carpeted floor over in front of the lockers and out of Daniel’s reach. Matt and Daniel stared at it for a second before Daniel scrambled to try and get up and grab it but he was too slow. Matt grabbed the knife and pointed it at Daniels face.
“You lose.” he said.

By this stage everyone in G01 was now out in the hallway crowding around Daniel and Matt. Daniel looked at all the angry faces around him. He looked behind him, his green eyes shining in the light of the thunder outside. He banged his elbow on the lockers and something fell out of one of the locker’s open doors. Daniel grabbed it in mid-air and pointed it at Matt’s head.

“Nobody move or I’ll shoot!” he said. Matthew dropped the knife and slowly got to his feet. Ewan pushed his way to the front of the crowd.

“Daniel don’t waste our time,” said Ewan. Everyone stared at him.
“What the $#@& are you talking about?” yelled Peter.
“I was going to pull a prank on Arden and Duy so I put this water gun filled with Tomato Sauce. That couldn’t hurt anyone in a million years.”

A sigh of relief spread across everyone’s faces. Matthew stared at Daniel. Daniel continued to hold the water gun at Matt.
“You can drop it now. Everyone knows that’s harmless,” he said.
“I’d rather find out for myself.” Daniel said stubbornly.

Matt just lost it. “You wanna know if that thing can hurt me or not?!” Asked Matt aggressively. He got closer to the gun. “You think this toy can hurt me?” he said as he tried to grab the gun. “Huh, Do ya?!” He grabbed the gun and pointed it at his chest. “Come on! I dare you Daniel!”

BANNNGG!!!! A large echoey noise shot through the air. Everyone looked in horror. Matt stared down at his chest and then back at Daniel’s face. “You $%@#!&*^!” he said as he slowly fell back and lost consciousness. His eyes open. Daniel stared at him, the smoke rising from the gun. He dropped it. Matthew’s last images were of Daniel’s shocked expression and the tears on his friends and sister’s face.

“NOOO!!!” cried Emily. “You can’t die,” said Wasim. Emily stared up from her dead brother’s body and into Daniel’s eyes. “YOUU!!! You killed Him!!! You %$#& ing $@#%!$&!!!” she said. She ran at him in a fit of rage, the tears running down her face. Ewan and Rita grabbed her by the arms and held her back. “Piss off Daniel!!” yelled Ewan. Daniel ran up the stairwell. His boots were still heard moments later. “I hope you get $%#ing killed, Daniel!” yelled Wasim. There was silence among the sobbing. Even Jack was crying. Minutes later Mr. Azar finally spoke. “Come on. We’d better get inside.” Everyone started to move back into the room. Emily didn’t move a muscle. “Come on. We can’t do anything for him now.” said Raita helping her friend up. Emily got up and walked into the room, leaving Matthew in the hallway.

Everyone sat at his or her desks, sorrow on every face.

“As you already know, three members of this class have gone missing and three have died. The phone lines are down. It is now clear that we are not safe outside this classroom. So from now on I am putting every one of you under strict orders to not even think about leaving this classroom. There will be a bathroom break in five minutes but to make sure that no one here is injured or goes missing I will go with you. From now on no one is to leave this room without my permission and in a group of at least two. There will be no more death tonight.” Beep Beep. “Sorry.” Said Jake.
“Please line up at the door now if you want to go to the bathroom.” Ewan and Wendy put their hands up. “Is everyone else sure they don’t need to go to the bathroom. This is their last chance.” No one else put their hand up. “Okay. Let’s go.”

Mr. Azar opened the door a crack. He looked around before opening it fully. “Okay kids, I’m going to look around corners and corridors before we go anywhere. Understood?” he asked. They both nodded. “Now the staff toilets are up the stairwell.” Mr. Azar picked up a cricket bat that was on the ground. Ewan stared at Mat’s corpse. His finger was bent. Wendy knelt over by the body. His closed eyes made you think that he was asleep. “I’m sorry,” said Ewan. There was a moment of silence. “Come on. We’d better not get distracted. It’s not safe out here,” said Mr. Azar. They began walking up the stairs, each wondering if they would be alive when they came back or not.

G01, for the first time ever was quiet. Despite Jack’s ramblings, every one was silenced. They could all distinctly hear the storm outside.

“Why is everyone so quiet?” said Helen in an almost positive voice.
“What are you talking about?” asked Peter.
“You’re all acting as if something terrible’s happened. If you ask me this is pretty clever and heaps good,” she said in a cheery voice.

“Shut up!!” yelled Patrick. “I’ve lost my best friend an hour ago. Ten minutes ago, I just lost another one of my friends. By the end of this I’m probably not going to even be alive. And all you can do is say that all of the death this evening is good?” Mrs. Montouro saw this happening but decided not to intervene.

“By the end of this we’ll all be dead.” said Jack.
“Oh just shut up. You all should just shut up. Show a little %$#&ing respect.” Duy got up. “Patrick, you shut up. We’re all sad about what has happened here tonight. If we make it out of this we probably won’t ever forget it. But the thing is that if we all look out for each other we can make it through this. We’ve lost three people already tonight, maybe even more. Do you really want even more people to die?”

Mr. Azar walked up each step trying not to make a sound. Wendy and Ewan followed close behind. Finally they made it up to the staff bathrooms. “Okay. I’ll stay out here and watch for anyone. You go in there and knock on the door when you’re done.” said Mr. Azar.

Wendy walked into the bathroom. It was quite small really. There was only one cubicle and one sink. Still, it was cleaner and better than the public student toilets. She opened the door of the cubicle and saw a window. It was small but it would be able to fit her through it. She quickly opened it and immediately trued to slip through it. As she tried to make it out, her pocket knife fell out of her pocket. She didn’t really care and then continued to try and get through the window. The door behind her opened. She heard it and quickly looked behind her. She heard footsteps. Clak, Clak, Clack!! Wendy froze with fear as she looked at the door to the cubicle. She stared down at the open space at the bottom of the door. Two feet appeared.

“Hey, are you nearly done, you’ve been in here for almost five minutes!!” yelled Mr. Azar. Wendy’s heart started to slow down.
“Oh, it’s you. I thought that it was the killer,” said a relieved Wendy.
“Just come out soon. It’s a risk just being up here.” Mr. Azar walked out of the room. Wendy still struggled to fit through the window again. She was halfway out when she heard the footsteps again. “Hello?…”

Chapter:4 Wendy’s Sacrifice

Ewan flushed the toilet quickly. He nearly ran to the door, not wanting to spend more time than what was needed. He pulled on the door handle but it wouldn’t budge. It was locked from the outside. He was trapped. Ewan began to panic. Why was the exit locked? Ewan walked over to the back of the cubicle. A hand touched his shoulder. He turned around and saw Wendy out the window on a ledge.
“Ewan, quick, get out of there NOWW!!!!” She screamed as the door handle began to twitch.

Ewan quickly locked the door to his cubicle and tried to make it through the window. The window for the boy’s room was much bigger than in the ladies room so it didn’t take long for Ewan to make it out. He got out on the ledge and slammed the window when the killer made it through the cubicle door. “Thanks.” he said. “You can thank me when we’re safe,” she said.

The two started to sidle along on the window’s ledge, the rain pouring down on them. The wet surface made it even more difficult to walk. More than once Ewan lost his footing on the slippery ledge. If the guttering wasn’t there he probably wouldn’t be alive still.

Finally Wendy and Ewan had crawled to another window far away from the staff toilets. They quickly slid through it and into the radio tower room. This was where all of the school’s messages were broadcasted. Ewan and Wendy looked around for the amplifier after, of course, locking the doors. Wendy started to search around for something.

“What are you doing?” asked Ewan.
“I’m looking for the speaker thing.”
“Are you insane? If you broadcast anything, we’ll be on the death list next! Everyone in the entire school will hear that!”
“That’s the idea. If someone outside the school can hear the message than that means they can call the police. They come, rescue the others and us-”
“If we’re still alive.” interrupted Ewan.
