Okay, guys, so it has kinda been forever, and the reason for that is because I didn't know which one of my stories to update. So because of my indecisive nature I couldn't pick. And because I'm stupid I thought the logical thing to do was completely neglect all of my stories. But I'm back now so here it is :D
"So what now?" Luke asks to no one in particular. "Do we just stay here till school starts on Monday?"
"No, we can't just wait here because we know the killer, if there actually is one and this isn't a cruel joke, is one of us. So they're in this room which means we can't stay here." Clare responds, shining some knowledge on this situation.
"Okay so again, I ask, what now?" Luke says.
Everyone is silent as they think of what to do.
"Leave," Bianca says. Everyone stares blankly at her as if it's the stupidest idea they have ever heard.
"Sounds like a good plan to me," Maya chirps.
"Agreed, let's go," affirms Jenna.
Drew, Maya, Luke, Bianca, Jake, and Jenna all walk to the gym door exit opposite the one they came in at.
"Wait," Clare begins. "It can't be that easy." They turn around, and look at Clare for a moment, but then precede to the door to leave.
"Let's get out of this crazy house," yells Bianca as she pushes on the door, but, of course, it doesn't open. "What?"
"What's wrong?" Drew asks.
"It won't open," Bianca yells in fury, as she pushes on the door harder.
"Let's try the other one," says Jake.
Some rush over to the other door, the one they came in at, and try to open it. But the door doesn't budge. "Guys, I'm starting to think something is about to go down, and it is not going be good," says Katie.
"Well, we gotta do something," Cam chimes in.
"What if we all die in here? What if I never see my parents again? What if-" Maya breaks down, and Campbell quickly rushes over to help her. He holds her in his arms, and she silently cries into his chest as he whispers words of comfort into her ear.
"Tyson will never know his birth mother if I die," says Jenna. "That can't happen. This whole situation can't happen."
"What about Darcy and my parents? I never got to say good bye." Says Clare.
"Alright, I'm done with this pity party," Eli says. "We're not going to die so can everyone stop pretending we are. It's probably just a stupid prank by the stupid hockey team."
"Hey, shut up, emo boy," barks Luke. "We did not do this, so don't go blaming other people. I bet this is your idea of a joke and it's not funny.
"Me? Are you-"
"Would you guys just stop?" Drew says.
"Ow," says Bianca. "My stomach hurts."
"Cramps?" Jenna questions.
"Probably." Bianca covers her mouth with her hands to muffle her quiet coughs.
"Stay out of this, drop out," says Luke towards Drew. "This was your idea wasn't it? To get back at the school. You and Eli."
"Shut up, Luke," spits Drew. After that statement, complete and utter chaos erupted. Swear words were said, accusations were made. Everyone was yelling at someone. Until-
"Stop it!" Yells Jake, who was previously being accused by Luke for some reason. "Let's just calm down, and find a way out of this place." Jake says calmly.
"Jake's right," says Katie. "Yelling at each other will get us nowhere."
"So what's our plan?" Cam, who just finished calming down Maya, asks. "Even if this is a joke or reality show or whatever, it's creepy and we need to get out."
"Agreed, but we are not going to die. No one is going to-" Eli's statement was cut off by Bianca's loud coughing, and all eyes shift to her.
Drew rushes over to help Bianca, and he pats her back. "Bee, what's wrong?" All he gets is a cough in response. "Bianca," Drew says louder. "Are you alright?" Bianca just keeps coughing loudly.
"Umm, drink some water," Maya says, as she points at the water fountain. Drew rushes Bianca over to the water fountain, but she just coughs more. Bianca falls to the floor, raging coughs still coming from her petite body. Drops of blood start drizzling from Bianca's mouth from all the coughing.
"No!" Drew yells, and he kneels down next to Bianca. "Bianca! Stop coughing! Someone do something!"
Everyone's eyes widen as they realize what's happening; Bianca is dying, this is real. Tears brim in all the girls' eyes, and everyone stands frozen as they stare at the helpless girl. A steady flow of blood is now coming from Bianca's mouth. "Help! Call 911!" Drew screams.
Everyone reaches for their phone, but they all just feel an empty pocket and purse. Still no one says anything besides Drew. Tears roll down his cheeks as he watches his fiancé uncontrollably cough. "No," Drew murmurs, quietly and helplessly. "Bianca, please stop coughing. Please, get better." He strokes her arm as she coughs.
Bianca lets out the loudest cough get and shakes violently, and then, everything was quiet. No one speaks or moves. Bianca just died. This is for real. "Maybe it's just a coincidence," says Eli.
"A coincidence?" Drew yells. "My fiancé, the love of my life just died and you have the nerve to say it was a coincidence."
"Sorry," mumbles Eli.
"Then how?" Campbell asks. "What caused her to die?" Everyone was silent as they contemplate the question at hand. How did Bianca Desousa die?
Everything is quiet for about five minutes. "The door!" Exclaims Clare. "She tried to open the door and right after that she complained about her stomach. Then, she started coughing."
"So?" Drew says as they all walk over to it. "What about the door?"
"There must be something on the knob," says Katie. "A liquid that made her organs fail or something?" The nine remaining victims stop at the door. Clare kneels down to get a closer look at the door knob, but doesn't dare touch it. There was a hand print where Bianca grabbed the door knob and white powder around it.
"She grab the knob and there was some sort of powder on it," concludes Clare. "She must have wiped her face while it was on her hand or something and it got in her system."
Katie kneels down next to Clare to see. "That's warfarin. It causes internal bleeding when eaten or inhaled. The blood must've got in her wind pipe."
"How do you know that?" Asks Maya.
"I went to advanced forensics camp over the summer, remember?" Katie responds.
"So, to make this clear, when Bianca tried to open the door, she got a deathly white powder on her hand, inhaled it, and it caused internal bleeding, which got in her breathing tube, which caused her to suffocate and die?" Jenna explains.
"As far as I know, yes," says Katie.
"Well, I guess we know this is not a game." Luke says.
...
One down, nine to go. The funny thing is I really didn't know if I could pull this off. But now I know I can, and it'll be easier than I initially thought.
Bianca was the most vulnerable because of her hard outer shell. After that was gone, she was easy prey.
Next up is the most useless.
This is my favorite story of the ones I've written. Reviews are much appreciated.
