Hello everyone! I'm really sorry if I haven't uploaded for a long time. I've had so much to do and almost no time for writing. But school is now OVER, so now I got a lot more time to write. But I can be a bit more busy than usual, because I got a summer job and so on. I'm soon up in 10 reviews, YAY! I'm so happy to read all of them, they actually give me a reason to continue with this.
But I shouldn't be blabbering more nonsense now, so let's continue shall we?
I don't own Whispering Corridors 2 or Fullmetal Alchemist!
Even though only seconds passed by, it felt like years to Envy. Seconds that Envy felt he could have used to much better things or to waste on anything else, anything better than this. But they were gone now and would never come back or be undone. And from the moment he looked into the classroom, he knew that this would be a memory that would never go away, never be forgotten, no matter how much he wanted to.
The second when he looked at Mr Hughes corpse would never come back undone.
Sure he never liked any of his teachers, and he sure never would. But he NEVER wished for this man to die! Never! So why?! Why did just HE have to die?! It didn't make any sense!
Envy took a few steps back. Even though he wanted to scream his throat dry, he couldn't. Edward probably did it for him. The blond boy was still sitting by the wall and starring at the door, unmoving. He hadn't moved a muscle, and his eyes were blank from the shook. Poor guy.
"What the hell is it?!" He could hear Roy coming up behind him. Had it been just any ordinary person, he wouldn't care who saw. But now it was different. He already knew that Roy was a collected person, but he could easily let his emotions take control, which in this case was very bad.
"Roy, back away from the door" Envy said while turning to face him. "Now" He said with a low growl.
"Wh-what? What do you mean? Let me see!" Roy said while walking up to the door. But Envy was fast on his feet and was soon trying to prevent Roy from looking into the room. But since Roy was far taller than him, he easily saw over his head and into the room. He froze, before collapsing to the floor. His skin was pale-white and his eyes were wide from the shock. His mouth was slightly open, like he was trying to say something, but nothing came out from him.
Soon came Richard as well and tried to help Roy cope and fight his own shock at the same time. It didn't work for too long and soon broke down in tears. Envy, begin the only sane person left, went inside the room and shut the door behind him. The he started to inspecting the room. Everything looked just normal, except for the mass of blood by the teachers desk. Taking a closer look, it looked like Hughes bag had been spared from getting soaked with blood. Hearing more people outside the door, he went out and closed the door.
"Everyone, remain calm and go to your home classrooms! Everyone who has in this classroom, go with another class!" A teacher said while walking up to him. Behind him came Richard, who probably came to his sense after he entered the room.
"So, stay calm and leave!" The teacher said again. "How bad is it?" He asked Envy.
"Bad. There's nothing we can do for him now..." Envy replied.
"Oh god..." The teacher said under his breath. "And Mr Hughes of all people..."
After that, the rest of the morning went on slowly. The police had shown up and took care of the body and questioning some students. Edward was not one of them. He was too traumatized to say anything, even to Envy. Roy had recovered some, but had excused himself and had a breakdown in the restroom. Though this didn't stop the school from holding it's traditional check-ups. Almost everyone did it, wanting to focus on something else. Soon the students started to laugh and joke like usual, but it was a bit hard to do so.
Edward also recovered, but he took more time to do so. At first he wouldn't move or talk at all. He wouldn't even change his face expression. But after a while of leaving him alone, he somewhat recovered and was soon able of talking like normal to some people. But he said he didn't want to talk to the police just yet. He wanted to calm down his nerves some more before he did. The policemen said that they understood and told him to call them when he was ready. Right now he was sitting by his desk and had a conversation with Willy and Ryan about something. Willy and Ryan knew that Edward had been somewhat close to Mr Hughes, so they tried to avoid any subject that could be related to today's incident, and Edward was happy about this.
Willy said something funny again and Ryan started to laugh. Edward just looked at them, saying nothing. He was happy that they wasn't only thinking about the incident, but could go on like nothing had happened. He himself had a feeling that because he had required scape from Envy, he might had created a hole in their relationship. He didn't knew why, but he just knew this.
Suddenly, the door opened and in came one of the few female teachers of the school, along with some other person. Edward had never given it a thought of remembering her name, so he never bothered in remembering her now. Everyone grew silent and sat down in their chairs. The teacher started to explain about the check-up and other unnecessary stuff for the day. Then she went outside and everyone changed to their gym clothes. When everyone were done, she came back in and started to check on everyone in order. First weight, then height and so on. As expected, Edward got the biggest laugh of the day because he was really nervous and was short in length as usual.
What no one expected was the short height of Ryan! Yes, Ryan of all people. He had only grew with a few centimeters, so he was only about 20 centimeters taller than Edward. His face grew red as a tomato or Edward's favorite jacket when he got his height red up. To think that he had grew so little, and Edward had started to catch up with him, that was certainly something to laugh about.
While laughing at Ryan and his embarrassed face, Edward noticed a new tension between Roy and Richard. Richard were withdrawn and Roy hadn't said anything since he got back from the restroom. Edward immediately noticed this change and had a feeling that this was going to end poorly. Those two had been dating for some time now, but Roy had a secret affair with Mr Hughes and now when he's dead it will probably not stay a secret for much longer. If he haven't told him already, the Richard would probably know it soon anyway. He wasn't stupid, he could easily notice when something changed, it didn't had to be big.
When everyone was done, they changed back to their usual clothes and had a longer break. During this break, Edward took this as a opportunity to get some fresh air. He went out to the corridor and opened one of the windows. The wall across the classroom wall was only made of concrete and glass, letting lot's of light enter the corridor and staining it in the colours of the outside world. The sun was still shining outside, giving that the whole day maybe had been just a bad dream. There was a light wind lingering around the town, blowing lightly against the skin.
Edward just stood there for a while, letting the cool wind calm his nerves and clean his mind. He closed his eyes for a minute, just trying to get a grip on everything that had happened. But when he opened his eyes again, there was a faint shadow falling in front of his face. It looked like a body, but it was so faint that no gender could be noticed. He looked down to the if it fell to the ground, but it didn't. It wasn't there, like the fall had been nothing but a hallucination. Suddenly feeling uneasy, he closed the window.
In the classroom, it was as loud as it could be. It was never one moment of silence. This was not something that Roy couldn't handle. But today was different. He had just lost his secret lover, and he hadn't even told Richard about him, even though he had planed to do so. Right now he just wanted to go back to the dorm, get his stuff and leave for a while. Just get away until everything had past. But of course that wasn't going to happen. There was no way he would have such luxury, and he knew that soon Richard would be asking him and the truth would fall out eventually. But how could you possibly tell about cheating with a teacher right in front of his nose for about a year? And it would be even harder now when said person is dead. Urg, all this things made his head spin in worry. But it was going to happen, he just didn't know when.
Suddenly he heard Richard say something about Hughes and his lessons and that, he didn't know why, made him snap. Okay, that's it. He stood up and walked over to Richard who sat by his desk.
"Richard? Can we talk for a minute?" He simply said, his voice almost sounding monotone. Richard at once reacted to this.
"Sure..." He said unsure what had happened to his usual calm and cool boyfriend. He got up from his chair and the two boys left the room.
After a while, Edward came back to the room. He had gotten lost in thoughts, so he didn't noticed that he had started to walk around in the building. When he came to, he was almost at the rooftop. Or at least he was by the staircase up to the roof. Deciding that it was time to go back, he turned on his heels and walked back.
When he got back it was as noisy as ever. Ryan and Willy were joking again and pushing each other around as usual. Envy were sitting by his desk and kept complaining to himself about the two boys stupid behavior. Though Roy and Richard was nowhere to be seen. Maybe they had gone out or something he though. He just got to sit by his desk when the familiar headache came back. God, this thing was starting to drive him insane. And it had the worst timings ever, just before the next lesson was about to start! Of course, Envy noticed this.
"Headache again, Edward?" He said.
"Yeah" Edward groaned. "Why does it have to be now? Why does it have such a bad timing all the time?"
"Want to go back to the dorm?" Envy joked, already knew what the answer would be. "Or should I take you to the infirmary?"
"No infirmary for me, thank you..." Edward said.
Suddenly the doors flew open and in the doorway stood one of their classmates. Edward never remembered his first name, but usually called him by his last name Yotsuya.
"Ei, what the matter man?" One of the boys asked in the back of the classroom. "There are still three minutes to go" He joked, briefly mentioning Yotsuya's bad habit of coming late to class. Yotsuya didn't said anything, heck it looked like he couldn't say anything. His face was red from running and he was breathing short and deep.
"It's not because I was late..." He gasped out. "Something terrible has happened!"
"Wh-what is it?" The boy from the back asked.
"I... I just found Roy and Richard" He said, trying to stay calm. "THEY ARE BOTH DEAD!"
Cliffhanger! Yep, now three persons are dead; Hughes, Roy and Richard. What happened do you think? What will happen in the next chapter? Who is next? Review, favorite and follow to find out!
