For Andrea Kolintz this has just been another routine day, paperwork and helping students. Presently three students had just completed a careers counselling session with her. She suddenly realised that a student named Annie Jenks had requested her to be referred to specialist place in Princeton, something about getting a condition researched and then hopefully treated. Unfortunately the realisations came too late.
As before Monday 2nd of November 2002 was going to be one of those days where a tragedy could have been avoided at the 11th hour. In the case of Rachel Lang Sue Snell having resorted to desperate measures and breaking out Barbara Lang illegally from Arkham Asylum had managed to catch up with Rachel too late ensuring that Monica Jones and Deborah Knox were successful in taking her to a party where her demise was being planned. As well as Rachel Lang it was also going to be the party that would serve as their demise and that of everyone else.
In the case of Carrie White, Miss Collins spotted that something was amiss during the prom's king and queen ceremony. Thus she took action but dragged the wrong girl out of the hallway, her misguided but well-meaning actions would ensure that a devastating tragedy would occur costing not only Carrie White's life but that of her own and everyone else in that gymnasium.
Here a few days earlier Andrea Kolintz perhaps as a result of some food of thought from a student named Clarissa Ryan had an unexpected change of heart. While still in denial about her own abilities, she had just recently decided that she would invite Annie into her office and perhaps try another one-on-one counselling session where she would try to help the girl and consider with an open mind about her tales of telekinesis.
By now she was also fully aware that Annie Jenks was being bullied mercilessly by her schoolmates. She was going to try to get her to open up about that as well and then subsequently take action against the tormentors. Tragically it was already too late Andrea's earlier hesitation and slow course of action would mean that all of these efforts would be reduced to naught.
At that time she was conducting routine administrative and paperwork in her office, when without any explanation Andrea's own telekinesis flared up and immediately she sensed a powerful telekinetic presence emanating within the main block. The student guidance councillor office was located there also. Then she heard the screams and cries of terror. To her shock she realised in an instant the identity of the person causing this - "Annie Jenks". Immediately Andrea realized the implications of what would be the most devastating mistake in her entire life even more serious than the one that ended her previous employment.
Springing into action as though if an automatic pilot had been activated she proceeded to the nearest exit and for the first time in many years used her own telekinetic abilities to open it and as many other exits as possible enabling countless of students to escape. Almost everyone furthest away from Annie Jenks managed to escape. She caught site of Clarissa Ryan the girl who came into her office a few days earlier, who upon seizing the opportunity ran towards the nearest fire alarm and smashed it alerting everyone to evacuate the campus building and summoning the fire brigade.
As the crowds fled outside to safety, Andrea could sense Annie's presence and rage who constantly tried to impede Andrea's efforts before giving up. But Andrea knew this was not the end, Annie was not going to stop. Instead she was going to concentrate on the kids who tormented her the most, they would be the first to die and Annie would not allow them to escape. Even though Andrea may have enabled hundreds of staff and students to escape the mayhem, she knew she was not going to be able to save everyone. It was very likely that the principle tormentors would all be dead by the time she would reach them. She knew that even with her own powers she stood no chance in winning a duel with Annie Jenks. The latter's telekinesis was driven by anger and rage and thus was more refined and more powerful.
Andrea Kolintz caught hold of Clarissa Ryan as she made a dash for the direction of the telekinetic activity no doubt to try and find her friend who was the cause of the tragedy now happening all around them.
She ordered Clarissa not to do anything silly approaching Annie at a time like this is was essentially a death sentence. Clarissa begged Miss Kolintz to let her go with her but Andrea refused and said it was too dangerous. Besides Annie was not in a reasonable mood at this time, Andrea could sense that through her own Psi abilities. Reasserting her authority Andrea instructed Clarissa to report to her fire assembly point immediately. Clarissa complied but blasted Andrea for not helping Annie earlier and doing more. Andrea replied that at the moment what's important is to salvage the situation though privately she admitted that Clarissa was right in her criticism. Her denial of her own affliction affected Andrea's judgment and ability to help a vulnerable student and now people were dying because of it.
Having ensured that Clarissa had vacated the building, Miss Kolintz headed off to confront Annie Jenks knowing there was good chance she wasn't coming back alive, she dare not think what would happen if upon finishing the last person in the main block – herself perhaps – if Annie Jenks proceeded outside and began killing everyone and everything in sight. No matter what she had to stop her, worst case scenario she may have to kill her, whatever the outcome it was going to be a hard fight.
As she headed for Annie's location she passed several scenes of utter carnage. Out of those who had become trapped or stranded none remained alive. The lifeless corpses of several students who had been pierced by glass or projectiles lay in different locations of the main block. Amidst those she recognised individuals who were known for bullying their fellow students. Andrea passed the body of Wilfried Badden impaled by glass over the window frame from which he tried to escape. The lifeless corpses of Natalie Thorn and Vivienne Dusk were hanging entangled from electrical cables at separate locations. There were signs of a heavy flooding at the girls lavatories with water rushing all over the floor she knew that Annie must have broken the pipes.
As she tried to make her way through she caught a glimpse of another corpse hanging from cables burnt out completely. She couldn't tell who it was from where she was standing, except that this person had been electrocuted at close range with high voltage cables.
Anxiously making her way through the main block and fearful at being ambushed. She suddenly heard a series of thud, thud, thud banging coming from the door of one of the science class. This was followed by series of whimpering cries of "Help! Help get us out" she quickly headed towards the door and tried to open it. Much to her relief the door pried open without Andrea having to need using her telekinesis. A coughing student stumbled out another two lay unconscious on the floor.
The moment she stepped inside she found out the reason gas. These individuals must have been trying to shelter inside in an effort to escape the massacre but Annie must have turned on the gas taps and end then used her telekinesis to seal the doors. Coughing as the gas entered her and mustering every inch of her strength she dragged the two unconscious students out. The third had to make his own way out.
Suddenly it hit her gas and electricity! Intensifying her telekinesis, she quickly used it to cut off the entire gas and electricity supply to the building. Andrea Kolintz knew that Annie Jenks would use both to set off explosions and harm any other students. How long she could keep them off was her own guess.
She stopped to try and assist the three students she had rescued but knew she couldn't stay for very long. As the sole conscious individual continued coughing and struggled to breath the clean air. Andrea give him a series of instruction where the nearest exit was. Still coughing he nodded to assure that he understood. She stayed long enough to revive the other two students and then left quickly in pursuit of Annie Jenks.
Unexpectedly Andrea ran into two girls Ivy Frost and Judith Harding. Disoriented they couldn't be sure what was going on but they could keep hearing at the back of their minds that it was "Annie Jenks" who was doing this. Other people they had spoken to had said the same. A lot people including some of their friends were already dead.
Andrea quickly escorted them to an exit that led to the car park, from there the girls could make their way out to the safety of their fire evacuation point. On their way they passed the body of Nicky Robbins who had been crushed by a set of double doors. "Looks like the raptor has had it" remarked Ivy in a mixture of both fear and sarcasm.
Upon reaching the car park exit, the doors this time refused to budge and Andrea quickly figured that she was not far away from Annie who was using her telekinesis to keep her quarry locked inside the main block. Andrea then knew she would have to use her own telekinesis to get the doors open. As soon as they did Ivy and Judith darted out to safety but before they could even get a few paces away from the main building a large pick-up truck literally flipped up into the air and landed atop the girls crushing one completely and mortally injuring the other much to Andrea's horror.
Another series of thud, thud, thud, began - this one much heavier than before. Andrea Kolintz dived for cover the moment she realised what was going on Annie Jenks was in the process of releasing a powerful psionic pulse that shattered through the main building and brought forth a rain stones similar to the ones that landed on Margaret White's house back in 19 August 1966. The pulse was powerful enough to fling her across the floor for several yards. She barely avoided being crushed to death by a heavy locker and was wounded in the ankle as something heavy hit her. The force was strong enough to knock her unconscious for a while.
As soon as she regained consciousness she picked herself up and made her way through the corridors. Disoriented she found herself at first wandering about aimlessly.
Her path led her near the computer labs. The facility was completely wrecked, smashed computer and electronics were all over the place a few sparks crackled here and there and small fires burned in different parts of the room. Andrea caught glimpse of wounded student, from what she could tell Joanne Gold had been repeatedly pelted with debris, bits and pieces. She quickly recognised her as one of those students who may have tormented Annie Jenks "It's all right Jo your safe now. It's Miss Kolintz I going to help you" she tried reassuring the terrified girl.
Joanne Gold was still alive but near death. Gasping for breath and shaking in terror she managed to utter out the words confirming what Andrea knew all along. "Annie, Annie Jenks" desperately trying to cling onto life she tried to speak again "I've done something terrible - forgive me please - I shouldn't hav.."As Andrea cradled the dying girl it became painfully obvious that Joanne was not going to make it, her injuries were too severe. She then sputtered, some blood came out of her mouth and then she went silent as her life ebbed away.
Gazing down briefly upon her, Andrea Kolintz left the lifeless Joanne Gold behind there was nothing more that could be done. She had to find Annie and stop her.
She was suddenly caught off guard as she spotted objects, debris, shards lifting up by themselves, tools from the workshop nails, screwdriver, including table saws that snapped away from their workbenches and the occasional hammer. As several hurled in her direction for a split second she thought they were coming for her. Much to the relief they floated past her and flew in an orderly file towards the kitchen areas, the whole field of object getting bigger as its size expanded.
Andrea looked on perplexed by this strange phenomenon. It was like watching a poltergeist activity, carefully she headed towards the kitchen area keeping in mind she could be ambushed by Annie Jenks's powers anytime. She'd be dead in a second if so much as one of the objects in the field slammed into her.
As the field of sharp objects headed towards the kitchen eventually disappearing from Andrea Kolintz view she was caught off guard once more this time when she heard an almighty bloodcurdling scream, unlike anything that she had ever heard before. As she ran towards the source she couldn't be sure but thought it might be Pricillia Dawn. Another scream echoed through the corridors this time a hysterical one, a scream of absolute terror.
It was Holly Hollins screaming in hysterics, who would not calm down, she tried to speak but no words came out of her mouth out only the expressions of utter terror. Miss Kolintz settled her down and told her to take deep breaths escorted her away. Stepping inside the place where the students had their cookery classes she passed Haley Armstrong's dead body, a knife embedded in her heart. Sidestepping carefully past her she saw the cause of Holly Hollins hysteria.
What she saw sickened her stomach, she covered her mouth, she wanted to vomit but dared not. Pricillia Dawn's body was barely recognisable it was as if she had been turned completely inside out. Annie Jenks had gutted her alive. Pricillia's body and face had been completely vivisected, her insides left open parts of her gut still pulsing and her heart still beating. The organs and inside was splayed all about in a somewhat sick but tidy fashion. There was blood everywhere Andrea could spot a liver and kidneys and what was left of her organs. From what Miss Kolintz could tell it would appear Pricilly had been dissected by the use of basic kitchen cutlery and workshop tools – Strange.
Gazing upon this scene what looked like a gruesome science lab experiment Andrea looked on as, Pricillia's heart, exposed continued to pump and pulsate, she watched it throb in the disembowelled remains of Pricillia Dawn a couple of times for a minute or so before it exploded in a eruption of messy blood-letting. Andrea dashed for the nearest sink and threw up.
As soon as she recovered she ushered the last remaining students out of the nearest exit to safety and resumed looking for Annie Jenks. She need not be a telekinetic to know that by now the main block was empty and that anyone left still inside now besides herself and Annie was dead. Andrea sensed that the telekinetic activity was beginning to subside. Annie Jenks must have taxed herself while unleashing the full force of her abilities and must be getting weaker. Still Andrea dared not be complacent at this hour.
As she neared Annie's location the telekinetic activity continued to subside and then it was gone completely. Andrea Kolintz found Annie Jenks in one of the class rooms sitting at one of the desks bloodstained all over. There was also a kitchen knife embedded to the hilt in her right shoulder. During the course of her rampage, someone somehow had made a desperate but futile attempt to stop her, paying for it with their life. Annie clutching a locket in her hand didn't bother even looking at Andrea as she came inside. Andrea tried to speak to the girl but didn't get a reply.
Finally Annie spoke "It's all right, I am not going to hurt you, have you come to help me? it's months too late for that, I came to ask for your help for and you thought I was having you on. There is nothing you can do now, besides they're all dead and they deserved it. Don't ask me to be sorry, I'm not, I enjoyed every moment of it. I never did anything to them and they made my life hell. I just wanted them to stop persecuting me, that's all, Never thought it would come to this"
It was now quite apparent that Annie had greatly weakened possibly due to excessive use of her abilities and was no longer a threat, Andrea tried talking to her, she told her that she was right she Andrea also has the condition of telekinesis, it had been a plague in her entire life for a long time she had been in denial of her abilities, that denial kept her from assisting Annie when she needed her most. "You could have told me about the bullying I could have helped you there." she tried reassuring Annie.
As she began fading in and out of consciousness, Annie began to babble and cry for her loved ones, her siblings, her cousins whom she had grown up with, her uncle Rich and Auntie Sandra and her Mom. Sensing that the end was near she asked "am I going to hell?"
"No, no your not" said Andrea but she couldn't be sure.
Clutching her bronze locket, perhaps her most precious belonging, Annie cried out one last time for her mom before passing out. Her last words "forgive me."
Andrea lifted the unconscious Annie in her arms and dashed for the nearest exit, on to the fire assembly point, hoping to find an ambulance.
