It was a cold, rainy night in Forks, Washington. The Halloween dance had ended an hour ago, but four students remained. Forgotten by their mom, Edward, Alice, Rosalie, and their friend Bella waited alone in the main entrance.
"Where's Esme?" Bella asked the others.
"I have no idea, but she better hurry up, this school is freaky!" Alice exclaimed in her high, tinkling voice.
"Oh crap! I left my calculus book in my locker! Ugh, and my test is tomorrow! Do you guys mind if I go get it?" Rosalie questioned.
"That's fine, Rosalie. We'll wait here," Edward told her.
"Um guys, I need use the bathroom," Alice informed the others.
"Can you not go by yourself?"
"I told you, this school is freaky!"
"Okay, how about Edward and I go with you, Alice, while Rosalie gets her book?" Bella piped up.
"Yeah, I like that option a lot better!" Alice squeaked.
"Okay we'll meet you here, Rosalie."
They parted ways, Rosalie heading towards the East Building where her locker was, and Alice, Edward, and Bella to the restroom.
Alice was right, this place is really freaky at night, Rosalie thought to herself as she walked alone through the East Building to her locker.
Finally arriving at her locker, she turned the dial three times, and retrieved her book.
SLAM! The lights flickered out. Blinded by the sudden darkness, she fumbled her way to a standing position. She could hear the soft padding of shoe soles on the cheep tiles. Her heart started racing.
"Hello?" She called, "Who's there?"
No answer, only more soft footsteps. The lights flickered back on. Rosalie sighed in relief, and turned around to find she wasn't alone. Standing in the open door, silhouetted against the black night, was the janitor.
"It's late," he stated in hoarse, raspy voice.
"Oh, um, well, I left my calculus book in here, and came to get it while we waited for our ride," she said in an unmistakably frightened voice.
Stupid, don't let him know you're scared! She chastised herself.
"We?"
"Uh, yeah. . . . my sister, brother, and his girlfriend are here al—"
"How many?" He cut in.
"Um, there are four of us." She said, working hard to keep the tremor out of her voice.
"Excellent," he whispered to himself so quietly Rosalie had to strain her ears to hear.
"Well, I'd better go see if our ride's here yet."
While passing him on the way out, Rosalie eyed him out of the corner of her eye. The name on his coveralls was James. Rounding the corner away from the building she heard a door slam. With a glance behind her she broke into a run.
"What is taking Alice so long? I can see wait she meant about the school being creepy," Bella asked Edward.
"I don't know, but she's taking forever!" Edward replied.
"Let's go see if Esme is here, and then come back."
"Sounds good to me."
A few minutes after they left, Alice emerged from the bathroom. Taking notice of her brother and his girlfriend's absence, she walked along the corridor that connected the bathrooms to the gym. She saw the shadows in an adjacent hallway stir, and called out.
When no one answered she turned down the hall. Swinging her head from left to right like a black, spiky pendulum, she searched the empty classrooms for some sign of the couple. When she looked into the last room in the hall, she saw the shadows stir again, and a figure emerged.
It's just the janitor, Alice told herself in reassurance. He smiled at her. It was an eerie, almost smug smile. As if he knew something she didn't. Alice's heart rate accelerated as she hurried away.
Almost out of the hall, she started to slow down. A rancid scent stung her nose. As she tried to identify it, something cold and orange flashed in front of her eyes before it bit into her neck. The scent was stronger now and she recognized the smell of dirt and sweat mixed with blood. The janitor. He was strangling her. She tried to scream, but a hand slapped over her mouth and the extension cord tightened around her neck. Her vision flickered, and she was engulfed in darkness.
Dun dun dunnnn….
