Screams on Campus
After Cassie said goodbye she packed up only her closest possessions and fled. Jessica had some money saved back and they bought a house in a quiet port town with lots of land. They installed a security system and changed their names. The only people who know where they went are Jessica's sister Debbie and their daughter Emmer.
Emmer held her books close as she walked through the campus. Her friend Sara was walking with her to the library.
"Thanks for coming to study with me. Drew bailed last minute and I don't like going places alone, especially at night."
Sara smiled. "No prob, girl."
A girl from Emmer's history class passed them.
"Hey Ally."
Ally turned around and stared for a second.
"Hey Emmer. I couldn't tell it was you."
"That's ok. Are you ready for the exam tomorrow?"
"I think so I just finished and I am going back to my dorm."
"Be careful then."
Emmer and Sara got to the library and hardly anyone was there. They took their usual spot and started studying.
Ally was walking across campus when a person dressed up like ghost face jumped out of the bushes.
"That isn't funny! Now go back to whatever frat party you came from!"
She tried to step around him, but he stepped in front of her.
"I'm not in the mood creep! Now step aside!"
The guy shook his head and pulled out a knife. Ally saw it and because she had taken self defense she kicked him in the groin quickly. This gave her the time she needed to run and scream.
"Help! Someone please!"
He recovered and gave chase. It was late and no one was around. She saw a light on in a building so she ran for it. The door was locked but a janitor was at the end of the hall.
"Come on! Please!" She banged loudly on the door.
The janitor noticed her and shook his head.
"No please! Help!"
He started to come to the door slowly.
Ally turned just in time to grab the masked attacker's arm. They both went to the ground and the janitor now ran to the door.
Ally struggled but the killer was stronger and he drove the knife into her chest. Ally screamed in pain.
"Please!"
He stabbed her again and then bashed her head against the concrete floor. The janitor was fumbling with his keys when the killer stood up cleaned his knife and ran away.
He got the door unlocked and then checked her pulse. She was dead.
Emmer and Sara heard the sirens and figured it was just the usual drunks or speeders. They would soon find out that there was a killer on their campus and that no one was safe.
