8:09AM

It was indeed a warm day. It wasn't a fair sunny spring day but it had a nice soothing gray feeling to it. The sky illumatated the school grounds in such a way that made the surrondings fairly admirable. Students were all getting up and getting ready to go to school. It was early in May and the Anubis students knew that just in a few weeks all of the seniors would graduate and move on with the rest of their lives, must going on their seperate ways from their peers they had grown to know so very well.

The Anubis students were up and enjoying their meal that Trudy had prepared for them. Nina, Fabian, Amber, Patricia, Mara, Joy, Eddie, and Mick all surrounding the table to retrieve their food and sit at their own individual spots to enjoy the lovely breakfast meal that Trudy had made. Ever since the mystery ended last term with Senkhara there had been less drama than there was before finally finding order and balance in the crazy house.

After finishing their meals each student began piling out to make their way to the school. Nina, Amber, and Fabian walking behind the whole gang conversing on their own.

"Where's Jerome and Alfie?" Amber asked curiously not having seeing them for atleast a day.

"Remember they signed out to visit Jerome's uncle yesterday," Fabian began. "They probably spent the night and will be coming to school from there." Fabian finished and the two girls nodded.

"Yeah I guess you are right Fabian." Amber said still not fully convinced. She had noticed an odd change in Alfie's behavior over the past month or two noticing he didn't seem as happy and goofy as he used to be and began to become quite shy during certain situations even if it involved him and Amber. He had grown somewhat apart from everybody in the house.

Except for Jerome. He only seemed to appear even closer with Jerome usually with Jerome all the time and always going off whenever Jerome would. Now Jerome and Alfie had always been best friends but for this case it was much different. Alfie and Amber had visited the University of Brenginham just a few weeks ago and found that they loved it and would both like to attend. They both recieved moderately positive recomendation from the school and would recieve notice of the status of their acceptance next week. Amber could not have been more excited.

9:48AM

Nina and Fabian had a free block and both spent their time in the library researching Oxford Academy the college both of them would begin attending at the start of a late sunmer course for Ancient History.

Patricia, Joy, and Eddie had to drag through their extra elective class today in order to get their missing 1 credit for Science.

had been in his office all day going through much paperwork he had to file in time to make graduation day run as smoothly as he wanted it. The day might have been average but it was full of anxiety to get everything in order before graduation time.

10:54AM

Nina and Fabian remained in the library being joined by Mara, and Amber as the gang all together chatted with each other queitly respecting the Freshman who were using their computers for their English Literature project. The gang was all talking about life and their excitement for the close of the school year that was soon approaching them. Some Sophomores and Juniors filled into the library a bit going off to the tables and opening books and notebooks and what not focusing on their own work they had to get down before the last tri-mester closes.

11:08AM

The Anubis gang was chatting quietly at the library when they hard sudden loud bangs echoing across the school.

BANG BANG BANG!

BANG!

BANG.

BANG BANG! They heard in a repetive form followed by the screams and running footsteps of other students. Everybody in the library began looking around at each other nervously before hearing a loud explosion coming near right outside the door of the library. Papers flew everywhere as lockers could be seen crisped and the library glass door shattered a bit. Everyone in the library now fully aware of what was going on began hiding each other and looking nervously around the room.

"Nina what's happening," Amber asked extremely scared burrying her face in Nina's chest as Nina hugged her as they both hid behind the coaches as Fabian and Mara followed.

They heard familair but yet sinister laughing as they saw to sets of feet in black boots approach the library door entering the room where most people were already hiding themselves.

A teacher hid behind her desk crying softly into her face hands folded as many other students were hiding near bookshelves and sofa and computers and under rows of desks with computers. After complete silence fell in the room the two boys that had entered finally spoke up.

"GET UP!" One boy yelled as Nina began to look at Fabian and Fabian gave her the same look.

"EVERYBODY GET UP!" The other boy yelled catching the attention of Amber.

The first boy was a tall boy with blonde hair and blue eyes. The second boy was a skinny dark skinned boy with short buzzcut hair.

"Let's just shoot anyway," one boy said to the other before shooting right through the middle of the rows of desk hitting two hidden students. Nina slowly reached her head up to get a glimpse of the shooters and once she did her nightmare was confirmed.

Jerome and Alfie.
