Chapter 2 - Murder!!
A year later everything was better. Why? We moved away from Meshka. My friends finally believed me and convinced their parents to move. Sandra was the first to believe me. Jake followed. Apparently Mrs. Moore was a good friend of my Aunt Lucy's so she moved too. I sure do miss Timothy, and I will kiss his picture each night. Things have turned better. But I have reason to suspect Sandra. I mean. think about it.
In science class. Oh I failed to mention the school we now go to. We go to Amulet High. It's our Freshman year. Apparently Mr. Moore was arrested. He was arrested due to a fight between Mrs. Moore's husband and my mom. That is why she always picks on me. I guess since my mom died she wants revenge by killing me. She's been extra nice to my friends to keep them from suspecting her.
Jake says it is Mrs. Moore. He said she does that to butter us up. "Jake, I agree. I mean all of the factors point to her. Well, all except this one." I held up a stinky sock I found by Timothy's body. Sweat beads rolled down Jake's head, "Th-That is m-my s-s-sock! She is trying to set me up! That dirty little witch! Let me at her! Let me at her!" We grabbed him and pinned him to the ground. "Get a grip on yourself. We can't lose our minds now! Guys we have to stay together!!" Sandra yelled. "We will get her down first but we have to have a plan." Sandra was sweating as if that sentence was a whole lot of work, or she was trying to cover up what she did. I don't know whom to suspect. All I know is that I have to watch my back. It's not fun being paranoid but I'd like to stay alive, if you know what I mean.
"Purple." Sandra said. "PURPLE!" "Sandra, what in the world are you saying?" I spoke with main curiosity. The sun shone brightly over the bridge. Water flowed Gently by. I just don't know. "Sandy whatever do you mean by 'Purple'?" I spoke, staring at her. "Heh. Nothing really." Sandra replied trying to change the subject. She pulled up a flower that was growing in the crack of the side walk. "Sandra I know you have a reason." I backed off. "Buzz off about it!" Sandra screeched, ripping the flower in half. I dropped my books. Then after realizing she could've done it, I picked up my books and went home. I constantly looked behind me and I felt like I was being watched. The moon shown dimly over the town and the stars seemed very faint. I tried to calm myself but that was merely impossible.
When I arrived home, I was alone. I figured Edna probably ran to the market. And she would be back in no time. Since I had the feeling I was being stalked, the first thing on my mind was to lock the door. Right when I got home, some of my books fell out of my backpack. Then I heard the phone ring, so I unlocked the door went in and answered the phone. I left the door wide open. I was on the phone with my guardian. "Sweet-heart, I had a concert to go to. I won't be home until mid-night." My guardian, Edna, spoke loudly over the music. "Yea that's fine mom... I mean Edna." I said. Edna hung up the phone and I was just about to when a voice other than Edna's yelled, "Wait!" I put the phone back up to my ear, "H-Hello?" I gave a shiver. "Guess what?" The voice said in a low monotone style. "What?" I said with a tiny scared voice. "Check the I.D. number on the phone." It was the house phone from the house I was in. I put the phone back up to my ear just to listen and not answer. I was shaking terribly. I was terrified. I heard heavy breathing. After awhile the voice spoke, "Yep, you guessed it. I'm in YOUR house." I slammed the phone down. I ran towards the front door but it slammed and locked and I saw a figure standing there. I backed into a corner by the fireplace. Then all of the electricity in the house went off. All I could see was black. I began to breath heavily and my heart pounded. I heard a glass bowl fall and shatter in the kitchen. I jumped, knocking over the ash shovel and it hit the fireplace. I heard footsteps move loudly towards me. The room was pitch black. I ran from the footsteps and stubbed my toe in the couch, but kept running. I hit a wall and scooted along it until I came the closet. I opened the door, closed it, and sat in the corner. I held my knees in toward my chest. I continued to breath heavily and tried to keep quite. Tears fell from my eyes. I stared at the door handle. I heard the footsteps approaching. (I am pretty sure the closet wasn't a good idea but when you are scared to death, it seems like the best idea.) The handle began to turn and I held myself tighter. I forced my eyes shut. The door never opened. The handle stopped turning. I didn't want to leave the closet so I sat there scared out of my wits. I continued sitting there. The knob began to turn again. I began to breath heavy and my heart beat was so fast I felt like I was having a heart attack. The door opened and the electricity was back on and something grabbed my arm and pulled me out. I fell to the floor crying. It was Edna. Thank god. I looked up at her. "What were you doing? You turned our electricity out and were sitting in the closet. Were you pretending you were in that movie again?" Edna asked. "Edna! I was being followed! I had a murderer on my tail!" I continued breathing heavily as I tried to calm down. Even Edna wouldn't believe me. "I think you're getting the Imbila Virus, Tori, be careful." Said Edna. What the.The Imbila Virus??? Not again!
I ran up to my room and cried myself to sleep. The Moon grew brighter and I kept my bright light on all night. I woke up screaming, I was having the worst nightmare of my life.
