While everyones eyes were on Zoe and Bianca's argument no-one had noticed Tania and Tara slip out the room. They weren't going to risk another death at St Trinians, so they ran to find Kelly. Taylor and Jess had just turned the corner as Kelly and the twins came charging down the corridor. Kelly prepared herself for the worse when she saw the blood on the corridor floor, it looked like someone had been dragged and dropped the way it was spread along the floor. The twins didn't want to think about what had happened, all they thought about was how this could have been prevented. Tania and Tara believed that if they had acted sooner the blood of the floor could not have been spilled, in reality the twins couldn't have acted any sooner then they did. Kelly took a deep breath as she placed her hand on the door handle. As it slowly opened the noise inside died down and the students in the room looked at their leader in fear. Kelly looked around the room; each face displayed the same emotions as its neighbour. Only one face was different to the others, Zoe's. Kelly bent down beside her and checked her pulse, at first she couldn't feel it but it was there.

"Beth, take her to matron." Beth nodded at Kelly and helped Zoe up. She made sure most of Zoe's weight was on her shoulder before she walked out the door. "What happened?" Everyone looked at each other, no-one wanted to explain. Chelsea pushed Celia forwarded,

"Um, Zoe wanted a word with Taylor." Celia paused; she didn't know what to say. As soon as Taylor's and Zoe's name was said in the same sentence Kelly could guess how it happened.

"So Taylor started it and finished it with stabbing Zoe?"

"No, Bianca started getting goby when Zoe asked for Taylor. Bianca and Zoe were about to fight when Taylor walked in, then Zoe started on Taylor."

"Then Taylor stabbed Zoe." Kelly said, jumping to conclusions,

"No, Taylor refused to fight and Zoe kept trying to annoy her. Bianca then stepped in,"

"Then Bianca stabbed Zoe?" Kelly interrupted; she hoped that Taylor didn't harm Zoe. There was one thing Kelly didn't want to do and that was banishing Taylor to the grounds. A thing like this would get the attacker banished there for at least a few months. The school year was almost over; they had a few weeks left, if Kelly banished Taylor now Taylor wouldn't be able to be at the leaver's party. Kelly may have been head girl and have the power to bend the rules but, she couldn't ignore something like this.

"Bianca and Zoe fought while me and Taylor tried to break them up. When we broke them up, Zoe broke free and stabbed Bianca,"

"I assume Bianca's been taken from the hospital wing?"

"Yeah, I just got back from taking her."

"So that's why you're covered in blood. How did Zoe end up stabbed then?"

"Taylor stabbed her in revenge the Jess pushed her out of here. I think they're in the grounds near the storage sheds." Chelsea explained knowing Celia wasn't there. Kelly thought hard about what she was going to do. Taylor had stabbed Zoe but Zoe had stabbed Bianca, technically Zoe had started it. However, that did not excuse Taylor's actions even though Zoe was at fault. Taylor had acted on Bianca's behalf but in doing so harmed another student.

"Clean the blood up, then I want everyone to hand in there knifes and other weapons. First years, make sure no more blood is spilt. If there is any sign of an argument you are to come and find me." Kelly strutted out the door and down the corridors. She told Miss Fritton about what had happened, she didn't know what she was going to do but she left that part out. For the first time since the heist Kelly needed to think about what actions she could take on the consequences of taking them.

Andrea was too thinking about actions and consequences. It was nothing compared to what Kelly was deciding. She sat in the attic dorm, on her bed in the dark. She surfaced from her sea of thoughts when she heard the squeak of the door. Someone had come in, but Andrea didn't care. She didn't even look at the face of the newcomer, but her eye's locked onto the blood stains. It didn't panic Andrea that someone had blood on them, she new it was an emo by the clothes. She couldn't be bothered with what she called extreme emos. If they wanted to take things that far then she wouldn't stop them, it wasn't her business what they did to themselves. When she heard the voice of the emo calling her name, Andrea started to worry. The blood and the voice wasn't a normal thing. Andrea knew who was a self harmer and who wasn't, she could even tell you how much they self harm in a day. Beth wasn't one of them, which was why the blood on her didn't make sense.

"What's happened?"

"Zoe's been stabbed, she's with matron now."

"Who started what?" Beth explained the incident to Andrea. As soon as the tale was told the scraps of information made perfect sense. Taylor was blinded by revenge if she had thought before acted then she wouldn't have done it. Andrea didn't have any sympathy for Zoe; if she haven't provoked and stabbed Bianca then she wouldn't be in the state she was in. If Zoe had left the chavs alone like Andrea had said then Taylor wouldn't be in this mess.

"And now Kelly's looking for her." Beth finished, Andrea knew where Taylor would be hiding. The problem was Kelly knew as well. Andrea didn't know what mood Kelly was in so she didn't know how she could react when she found Taylor. A good reaction would be comforting and helpful; a bad reaction would be following the rules and instant banishment. Andrea rose from her bed and speed walked to the dorm exit,

"Zoe's not aloud any visitors yet!" Beth called after her,

"Zoe doesn't deserve my presence." Andrea replied with little emotion. Once the dorm was behind her she ran as fast as her legs would carry her to the place where Taylor could be. She pushed past the students and ignored the rude comments and death treats she received. All that Andrea wanted to do was find Taylor before Kelly. Andrea soon ran out of breath and stopped her sprinting. While she was catching her breath she spotted Kelly going out the main reception, that's when the emo knew where Kelly was heading. Ignoring the fire in her lungs, Andrea raced on. Unlike Kelly she knew the quickest shortcuts and routes.

Andrea put Kelly behind her and dashed down different corridors and once again putting the rude comments off students behind her. She turned one last corner and entered a classroom. Andrea only stopped to roll her eyes at the Posh Totties who were doing their usual ritual with a new male teacher. She ran across to the open window and hopped out of it, luckily she was on the ground floor. Swallowing the last of her energy, Andrea made one last sprint to Taylor. She had to get her out of there, get her to safety and then talk Kelly around. In an ideal world things would be perfect, Taylor would be safe and so would the school. Then again in a perfect world St Trinians wouldn't exist, the perfect world has no room for anarchy. If St Trinians did exist in an almost perfect world, Andrea would be able to get Taylor in time. Andrea just hoped luck was on her side, so far it wasn't, on her sprint to the trees she fell down a small hole. Cursing and blocking out the pain she continued on her mission, after her trip she had another obstacle to get over. Behind the biggest tree at St Trinians was a hidden ladder and up that ladder was a secret tree house. Only the builders of this tree house knew it was there, not even Miss Fritton knew of it. This was where Andrea had sprinted to and this was where she had to conquer her biggest fear. Heights.

Andrea gulped; she had forgotten how high it was. It must have been at least two years since she was stood at the bottom of the hidden ladder, even back then she had hated heights. Back when Taylor, Andrea and Kelly were first years they had built the tree house. They wanted somewhere that only the three of them knew about so they scrounged for scraps of wood and nails. Taylor and Kelly did all the work that was up in the tree while Andrea was on look out for the head girl of that time. Even though she did none of the work, Kelly and Taylor still let her claim a third of it her own, Andrea was forever grateful for their kindness. Here she was again, at the bottom of the ladder without Kelly telling her it would be alright and without Taylor telling her how stupid she was being afraid of heights. Now it was Andreas turn, she was the one telling herself she would be alright. She was the one telling herself how stupid being afraid of heights is. She was the one who hated every minute of it.

Andrea found it funny. They had made this place in their first year to escape the head girl and now they were in their last year trying to escape the now head girl Kelly. It would have been so much easier if Kelly didn't know of the tree house, then again life was never easy. Andrea climbed like her life depended on it, every now and then she slipped but she quickly recovered. She could be scared later right now her friend needed her. When Andrea reached Taylor she was shocked by the state she was in. Head in hands, bottles surrounding her and by her feet a bag with a white substance in. The emo ran over to the chav and knelt by her,

"Taylor, why do this to yourself?" Andrea asked not expecting an answer,

"Wot eva," Taylor muttered, her head still in her hands.

"You can't get drunk off WKD you know," Andrea said as she read the labels on the bottles,

"No shit Sherlock," Andrea was half relieved, Taylor couldn't have been that bad if she was still insulting Andrea. The insult was weak, to the emo that suggested Taylor still wasn't her normal self. Andrea picked to the bag with the white substance in it and examined it, Taylor saw the disapproving look on Andreas face and let a sigh escape from her lips,

"It's sherbet dumb ass"

"I knew that,"

"Wot eva you say ghostie."

Kelly had made up her mind; she wasn't going to banish Taylor. It wouldn't be fair on the chav if she did, she was sure Andrea wouldn't mind that. Kelly knew almost all the secrets St Trinians held, she knew of the students secrets as well. There were two students in the school that held the same secret yet they didn't know that the other had the same secret. Kelly knew and she wasn't about to give up on her plan. When Kelly had reached the secret ladder she climbed it as silent as she could. She knew Andrea would be there by now and she wanted to know what was being said. As she reached near the top of the ladder she couldn't hear voices, Kelly poked her head over the top so she could see into the tree house. A grin spread across her lips, it looked like she wouldn't need her plan after all.

Andrea and Taylor looked like they were kissing.

And cue the dun dun dun.

I know, I know. I bet you're thinking it's moving a tad fast, sorry it is dudes just that the story needs a good kick up the arse.
