(I own absolutely nothing.)
Author's POV
Mara watches Amber Millington.
Amber, with the perfect looks, perfect life, perfect family, perfect friends. Amber breezes through life, shopping and flirting and bribing. She has everything Mara now wanted gone. She was rich and money saved her bum through everything. Saved her through everything except one thing.
Mara's anger.
Mara walks slowly in to Amber's room. As predicted, the blonde girl is setting up to do her Saturday meditation while everyone else is out and enjoying themselves. Amber always spends at least half an hour on her meditation, saying it helps her feel serene in time for school. Mara slips the pouch out of her pocket and tears it while Amber's back is turned.
She tips the contents slyly into the iced tea her friend had made for herself and stirs it secretly while Amber rabbits on about some guy in the Celebrity World. Mara replies perfectly, knowing it's a perfect act as always. Amber takes out her mat and lies it over her bed and sits down. She carefully lights the incense on the desk, presses a button on a remote control and hears soft music playing, something that sounded Celtic. Amber sips her iced tea and Mara smiles inwardly at how strong the poison is.
After another ten minutes, Amber starts swallowing more and more tea. Mara looks at her.
"Amber? What's the matter?" Mara asks, careful to sound concerned.
"My throat feels all tight, like there's a lump in it." Amber chokes. Mara gives her some poisoned water, to speed up the process. Amber gags and falls onto her back, her eyes rolling back in her head.
Mara screams, sounding terrified. She's careful to sound terrified and she calls the police and tells them that the killer has struck again, having killed her friend during their meditation.
The police arrive and advise everyone to watch everything very carefully that they may be eating or drinking.
Mara smiles as she ticks off another death on her list and sees how many people she hates that are now dead.
"Willow Jenks [x] dead. (and thank goodness, I thought I'd never be rid of that "Squee")
Trudy Rehman [x] dead. (and thank God. She was so whiny. I thought we'd never be rid of her.)
Nina Martin [x] (bratty and self-obsessed American.)
Amber Millington [x] (Self-obsessed idiot.)
Four down. Now for:
Joy Mercer [ ] (whinging brat.)
KT Rush [ ] (pain in the neck)
Patricia Williamson [ ] (vicious and cruel {not much of a reason to kill her, I am too.})
Victor Rodenmaar [ ] (Rude and horrible.)
Eddie Miller. [ ] (Arrogant and lazy.)
Alfie Lewis. [ ] (Greedy and stupid.)
Fabian Rutter [ ] (Goody two shoes and too clever {may pose a threat to my secret, gulp})
Vera Devenish [ ] (Too good at solving pules, may pose threat.)
Jasper Choudhary [ ] (May solve out the killer, want revenge for murder of beloved fiancee. {yuck, BTW})"
Mara sees that the amount of people who have to die can't possibly all die in the one building. She'll have to lure them away, but with nobody else knowing. Though with the teenagers, that will be very difficult as they're all practically glued together. She'd have to be incredibly careful now.
