Not that good but its something, focusing on revising for maths exams :)


The world had twisted, all she could do was run. She could hear them chasing her. She couldn't get away from them, they would always find her. No where was safe.

The corridor seemed to be never ending. They were so close now she could feel them breathing behind her.

You can do this. You're better than them, you're smarter.

I can't I've tried and I can't!

She carried on running as fast as she could, she wasn't tiring but then again nor were they.

A door appeared on the left. She pulled the door and went inside.

Frozen. Everything inside was cold. A layer of ice covered all the surfaces. The place seemed familiar, but from a very long time ago, a time she had tried to block out.

Suddenly the sound of children laughing spitefully filled the room. She turned around, she couldn't find where it was coming from but it was growing closer..

And closer..

And closer...

"AH!"

Sandra sat up. She was sweating slightly, her face had a slight scared look on it.

It took her a moment to work out where she was.

Brian had done a good job in decoration the tent with the case files, the ceiling was filled with the sheets of paper.

Gerry was staring at her from a chair near the entrance of the tent.

"Sandra you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine, just a bad dream. Where's Brian?"

"He's cooking with Joe, Mollie, Petra and Kathryn. While I stayed here," he paused for a moment as if he was deciding on a reason. "To look through her iPod in peace because they are having a sing along in the food hall while its raining."

Sandra got up off the floor and walked over to Gerry.

"What have you found?"

"Well there's no Internet access down here so I haven't been able to look at any of her browsing history or any Internet stuff. However I looked in her pictures and I came across these."

He tilted the screen to show her pictures which all looked the same from an overall view but once Gerry enlarged them and started flicking through them Sandra saw that it was different people arguing.

"So what are we saying then?"

"Well I haven't read all of them but its between Izzy and I think it must be a gang of people or something that are saying how stupid and immature she is and are basically cyber bullying her. Though the only person who defends her is that Joe."

"So I think we need to talk to them about this. Come on."

"One last thing, Strickland phoned me asking where the hell we all were."

"Shit! I forgot to tell him."

"Don't worry we are all doing enquiries, which is why we are not in the office."

Sandra smiled at Gerry before pulling on her boots.

"Careful though Gov'nor it's a bit muddy and it's still raining."

Gerry grabbed Sandra's arm and guided her out into the rain and over into the food hall tent where almost everyone was gathered round the middle table singing 'Hey Ya' while a blonde haired boy sat on the table playing the guitar.

Hey ya

Hey yaa

Heyy yaa

Hey ya..

Sandra and Gerry walked to the end of the table and sat down, listening to the rest of them singing softly.

The song came to an end. Jack spoke up from the other end of the table.

"I think we should introduce ourselves by saying our name and age, I'll start. I'm Jack and I'm 20."

"Leo, 20."

"Zoƫ, 17."

"Amy, 18."

"Bethan, 18"

"Laura, 23"

"Anthony, 20"

"Robyn, 16"

"Eden, 16"

"Evie, 15"

"I'm Yasmin, 16"

"Alice, 16"

It got round to Sandra and she didn't know what to say so she used her improvising skills.

"I'm detective superintendent Sandra Pullman, and I'm older than most of you."

"Gerry Standing and I'm erm evidently really young!"

"Right and in the cook house is Joe and Mollie both 18, Petra and Kathryn both are 16. Also Brian Who is with the investigation."

They all started chattering to each other. Sandra stood up to get their attention.

"Is it alright if we talk about Izzy?"

Simultaneously they all went quiet. Sandra scanned the table almost everyone had a solum look on their face apart from Robyn who went really pale and looked a bit panicked.

Laura looked Sandra straight in the eye, "what do you want to know?"

"Let's start with what was she like in the weeks leading up to her death?"

"Erm.."

Laura looked around at everyone else and seemed to be relieved when Anthony spoke up.

"She wasn't herself, she'd been different for weeks. She was upset and she didn't like being out of the library. Izzy told me that we were like her drug, she was happier when she was with us."

Once Anthony had finished talking Gerry also stood up and asked a question.

"On her iPod there are about a hundred pictures of a conversation on a social network site or something. There's some people that appear to be having a right go at her, what is it all about?"

At that point the group that was cooking came in with the dinners so Sandra and Gerry sat down together as slow murmured chatter broke out. They waited until everyone was sitting down before Gerry pushed the question again. It was a moment before Amy spoke up for the first time.

"One thing you should know is that she is extremely suicidal at that point and that was several months before she died. Her form group they.. She wasn't exactly liked by them. Someone posted a picture of the whole group on a school trip and Izzy want them to take it down, that was what sparked the whole thing off."

"Why didn she want it taken down?"

"If it was a day you wanted to forget wouldn't you do all you could to erase anything that reminds you of that day?"

"What did she want to forget?"

"I can't tell you that, it has no implication on her death."

Gerry looked at Sandra and Brian for support, Brian was too busy eating but Sandra seemed to be in deep thought. Until she looked around and took over the questioning.

"Can you talk me through how she died?"

Evie was the one to answer this one.

"When we saw her at break she was in a bad way, she was in tears. She wouldn't tell anyone why though, we assumed she just had a bad grade it something. Then at lunch she came into the library at the very start, which was unusual as she usually had some lunch first. She came in and hugged everyone and spoke to Robyn I think. She then left. Then next time we saw her she was at her funeral."

"Robyn what did she say to you?"

"She.. No I can't remember! She just hugged me that was all!"
