Authors Notes:

Well, I had A LOT of votes this time around. Enough to make a fair judgement. And this time, two people will die! One last thing. I would love it if you would review the story and tell me anything you think. Is it exciting? Boring? What does it need? And please vote the way I describe at the end of the story. A few of the reviews sounded like votes, and there's a poll for that. THANX! (one last thing:I mean it this time. I try to check spelling. I don't have Microsoft Word on my computer anymore, and the program I do have has a lame ass spelling checker.....so please excuse any errors)

Episode 3 "Splitsville"

Emma sat starring at a picture of Detective Calahaun's family.

"So, you say you saw the suspects face?" Det. Calahaun asked.

Emma twiddled with her thumbs.

"Not enough to determine anything. I don't even know if it's a guy or girl," Emma replied.

Det. Calahaun stood up and moved over to a window and looked out of it.

"But you gotta know a little right. Guys and girls, they don't all act the same."

Emma looked up at the ticking clock.

"Can I go now? I've told you everything I know."

Det. Calahaun looked over at Emma, then the clock.

He walked back over to Emma and got so close to her, he was practically in her face.

"I gave you my card right?"

Emma nodded.

Det. Calahaun angrily rolled his tongue on the inside of his cheek.

"Don't hesitate to call me if you come up wih anything, Emma. And I mean, anything,"

Emma stood up, and left.

Okay, Emma thought. That guy SO freaks me out.

******************************************

"I can't believe I had to go to my best friends funeral," Paige said quietly.

Spinner sat on the steps to Degrassi Community School rubbing his girlfriend's back.

"I know how hard it is....," Spinner started.

"Really? So you've been to one of your best friends funerals too huh?" Paige snapped.

Spinner stopped rubbing Paige's back.

"Why'd you have to snap at my head? I was trying to-

"Help, I know. Only, I'm not interested. I just wanna be left alone," Paige replied.

She stood up and entered through the front doors of the school.

Spinner watched her go.

"Hey Spin," Craig greeted.

Spinner stood up and entered the building, Craig following.

"THis whole thing sucks you know. I'm totally stressed cause I don't even know if that freakin lunatic is gonna come after me again," Spinner replied.

"Knowing you, you're probably gonna be the next one they kill," Craig smiled.

Spinner stared at him hard. Like he wanted to punch him.

"Sorry," Craig sighed. "I was just trying to make you feel a little better."

"And you did such I good job too!" Spinner said sarcastically.

Both Spinner and Craig walked up to Craig's locker, duely noting all of the Degrassi Winter Carnival posters hanging up.

"Wrong time of the year dude," Spinner sighed tearing one of the wall.

Manny noticed Craig and walked over to him.

"Hey, Craig. What's up?" she asked.

Craig nervously looked left and right.

"Manny! I thought I said-"

"I KNOW what you said Craig," Mannay started. She got so close to Craig, she was almost on top of him "But, you didn't really mean, for good right?"

Manny started carresing Craig's hair with her fingers.

"Hey, Spinner. Sorry about what happened to Hazel. I know she was Paige's best friend," Manny said.

Craig thrusted Manny's fingers from his hair and shut his locker.

"Come on Spin," he said.

Manny crossed her arms with anger as she watched the guy she still had the hot's for walk away.

Whatever, Manny thought.

Manny sighed and enetered the girls' washroom. She walked over to a stall, shut the door, sat down, and started to pee.

She noticed the door open slowly and shut slowly as well. Almost as if someone was trying not to make a sound.

Being curious, Manny lowered her head slightly to stare down below the stall. She didn't see anybody's feet. And for some strange reason, she felt like she was being watched.

"Hello?" Manny called out.

Now Manny didn't hear anything. She slowly stood up, flushed the toilet and exited her stall.

She looked around the restroom, but quickly stopped.

"This is stupid. Nobody's watching ME now!" Manny said to herself, starting to wash her hands.

Manny quickly turned to her left after noticing the washroom door shut. Somebody WAS in here just now, she thought.

********************************************************************

"Hey Emma." J.T. greeted sitting next to her.

Emma didn't look up.

"J.T. you think whoever killed Hazel isn't finished?"

J.T. stared wide-eyed at Emma.

"Ah....I have no idea. Why?"

Emma sighed and looked down at her notebook. If only she'd goten a good look at whoever it was.

"Emma, somethings up" Manny said suddenly, coming out of nowhere.

Emma jumped up.

"Manny? What do you want?" Emma asked, distaste in her voice.

"Hey Manny," J.T. smiled.

Emma didn't even look in J.T.'s direction.

"The killer's after me," Manny replied, somewhat out of breath.

Emma let out a small snort, then picked up her bag, and started walking.

"It was bound to happen sooner or later, right Manny?" Emma asked, with her back to Manny.

Manny walked a little faster trying to catch up with Emma.

"What?" Manny asked.

"Your death. If this killer didn't kill you, some sex obsessed pervert would have," Emma replied.

"Emma!" J.T. spoke

Manny pretended not to take offense. But instead got directly in frnt of Emma, stopping her in her tracks.

"Whoever killed Hazel, killed her because she saw their face right?" Manny asked.

Emma really didn't want to be having this conversation with Manny right now. Nor anyone for that matter.

"Manny," Emma stopped and turned around.

"Look, I know you saw something. Please, help me. We used to be best friends," Manny replied.

Emma sighed and stared into Manny's eyes.

"Well-

"Manny! There you are. I had people looking all over for you," Paige replied.

"Paige, how are you?" Emma asked in a serious tone.

Paige side-glanced at Emma.

"I told you we had to rehearse for the carnival Friday. Let's go," Paige said.

Manny stared at Emma a bit longer before leaving with Paige.

J.T. walked up so that he was standing next to Emma.

"You really think that wacko's after her?"

"Only one way to find out," Emma replied.

**********************************************************************

"The sadness in your eyes....I know I cant descbribe. Your passion burns in me like fiiiiirrrre......you know you're my on-ly desiiiiiirrrre," Ashley sung.

Ellie and Terri watched on.

"Way to go Ash," Terri said. "You are SO gonna win the singing contest at the carnival."

"It's not really about that. I just want people to know how passionate about singing I am," Ashley replied, turning off her microphone.

Ashley looked up in disgust as she noticed Craig entering the gym as well.

"Well well, looks who's here. You ex,m" Ellie said.

Craig looked over at Ashley.

"Dude, not this again. We've already been through the whole you versus her thing," Spinner said.

"Yeah, and its old and tired," Marco added.

Craig and Ashley continued to stare at each other.

"Mind if we practice?" Craig caled out to Ashley.

"It's a free country." Ashley replied leaving.

Terri and Ellie got up to follow.

"Ash,-" Terri started.

"I thought I was over him," Ashley fumed. "Guess not."

Terri rubbed Ashley's shoulder.

"Ah, I need some air," Ashley replied.

"Oh sor....ry," Manny said looking up. She'd accidentally bumped into Ashley.

"At least you say sorry for the right reason," Ashley replied stormning off.

Bitch, Manny thought.

***********************************************************************

Emma frantically flipped through her notebook.

"You have THAT much human nature research done? I haven't even started yet," J.T. replied.

"The killer could be anybody," Emma replied.

J.T. put his soda down on Emma's dresser and sat next to her on her bed.

"What's all that?" J.T. asked.

"It's stuff I wrote down about the murder. I can't figure it out and it's driving me crazy!" Emma replied.

"Emma, youi're not supposed to be able to figure it out. That's what the police are for," J.T. said.

Emma laughed.

"That creepy detective is weird. I think he thinks I know who the killer is and just wont tell," Emma replied.

"Okay, so whata kind of stuff exactly have you been writing down?" J.T. cautiously asked.

Emma flipped to the last entry in her notebook and read it to herself.

If the killer has a a list........

"If the killer has a list," Emma said out loud this time "Then who would he most likely kill next?"

"Well, if this were a horror movie, and I'm sure it is since they've already completed the first major cliche," J.T. started.

"What?" Emma asked.

"Black person always dies first....." J.T. replied.

"Oh......but, ah, who else dies?" Emma asked.

"Well, there's the popular jock, the stupid stoner, the goth, and the slut," J.T. replied.

Emma thought of who fit that description that she knew.

"Well there's plenty of jocks.....Spinner, Jimmy, Sean," J.T. started "And goths Ashley, Ellie, Alex."

"What about slut's? How many sluts are there?" Emma asked.

J.T. thought.

"None, right?"

"Wrong. One. Manny." Emma replied.

"No way....no. Manny's not a slut," J.T. replied.

"J.T. you're in love with her, of course you don't think she's a slut," Emma replied.

Emma continuesd to think.

"So what are you trying to say?" J.T. asked.

"That maybe Manny was right. Maybe she WILL get killed," Emma replied.

****************************************************************

FRIDAY

"Just remember to kep an eye out," Emma as low as she could, but still loud, as tshe and J.T. fought threw the crowd at the carnival.

"Look honey, ring toss," Spinner said.

Paige's eyes watered.

"You stupid jerk! That was Hazel's favorite game!" She replied storming off.

"Wha....I......ugh. This is getting stupid," Spinner said.

"No Spin, that would be you," Craig replied.

"Haha. Aren't you the one who got dumped by TWO women?" Spinner rhetorically asked.

"Yeah and the hot one wants me back. Who's laughing now," Craig replied.

"Guy's, you so don't understand women." Marco said.

"Enlighten us oh master of all that is gay and girly. What does a woman want?" Spinner asked.

"Women, they want attention, more than anything," Marco replied.

"Like I don't give Paige enough attention when were-"

"No Spin, not that kind of attention. Just talk to her," Marco replied.

"i know like you said before. Only I can't can I? She's going off to do her stupid cheering," Spinner said jumping up and down lik and idiot.

Craig threw some popcorn at him.

"Calm down Spin."

**************************************************************

"And now ladies and gentlemen, the Degrassi Community School Spirit Squad!" an announcer roared.

Paige, Manny, and the rest of the Spirit Squad ran onto the stage.

"Okay Degrassi, let's......get........down!" Paige said with excitement.

Music came on and the squad began their routine.

Emma stood by herself, waiting for J.T. looking left and right. She wanted to make sure nothing was gonna happen here.

"Hot Cocoa. Get your hot cocoa!' a man called out.

Emma reached in her pocket. J.T. would be fine if she left for just a second.

J.T. stood at a stall in the washroom peeing.

A dark cloaked figure walked in and stood next to him, also "peeing"

J.T. looked over at the man slightly.

"Ah, Halloween was two months ago man,"

Th figure didn't move.

"Unless, youre like a carnival entertainer....." J.T. trailed off.

He was getting a little nervous. Something about this guy wasn't right.

The dark figure turned slightly and took out a shinning silver butcher knife.

"Wait a second. You're the person who killed Haz......." J.T. stopped when he caught sight of the knife.

The killer nodded slowly.

"Em........EMMA!" J.T. exclaimed. He tried to dodge past the killer.

The killer quickly moved to block the door but J.T. slid underneath their legs and nudged open the door. J.T. stood up and was about to scream for help, but the killer pulled J.T. quickly towards th wall, knocking him out.

The killer looked down at J.T. He'd get his day. But not tonight. Someone else had to die.

*********************************************************

"Let's hear it one more time for the Degrassi Spirit Squad!" the same announcer cheered.

The audience went wild.

"Paige, Piage, we need to talk," Spinner started.

Paige stopped.

"Now?"

"Yeah," Spinner replied.

Manny walked past Paige and over to Emma.

"Hey, have you seen J.T.?" Emma asked.

"I've been on stage Em," Manny replied.

Emma looked all around.

She decided she'd have to see if she could help Manny. Now.

"Come on, we'll talk in here," Emma replied leadind Manny into The Funhouse of Mirrors.

"So, you figured out who the killer is?" Manny asked.

"Not exactly, I just wanted to let you know that-"

Emma stopped. She had just just saw something very dark enter.

"Emma? What's wrong?" Manny asked.

"Shhhh," Emma replied.

Emma looked into the mirrors.

"The killer's in here. Come on," Emma replied grabbing Manny's hand.

"What?! Emma?" Manny asked, while being dragged along by Emma.

"I know I haven't really been there for you lately. It comes with being me I guess," Spinner started.

Spinner's words were falling on deaf ears. Paige had already decided what she wanted to do.

"Spinner, wait. There's something I need to tell you," Paige started.

"Can I finish please. I really want to say this," Spinner replied.

Paige nodded. She could at least give Spinner that much.

Emma ducked past a shadow.

"Oh, my god! The killer really is in here huh?" Manny shrieked.

Emma knew why too. Either they'd come to kill her because she knew too much or they wanted to kill Manny because she was the "slut"

"We have to get out of here. With all these mirrors it's impossible to tell how close-

Emma was cut off when suddenly the killer burst from a mirror grabbing Manny and pulling her back throgh the opening.

"Manny!" Emma shrieked.

Manny screamed as the killer pulled up their knife and stabbed Manny several times.

Emma stared in disbelief. She wanted to run....but, she couldn't.

Th killer tore their knife from Manny's mutilated body and turned abruptly to face Emma.

"Oh my god....." Emma managed to utter, before she too meet her end.

"Hey, Spin, sorry to interrupt you again, but everybodys running that way for some reason. We might have to go," Paige said pointing behind Spinner.

Spinnere turned around and he and Paige walked over to the Funhouse of Mirrors.

Crowds of people were all around.

"What's going on?" Paige asked.

"EMMA! EMMA!" Paige heard J.T. shout.

"J.T." Paige said.

"EMMA! THE KILLER"S HERE! EMMA!" J.T. called out.

"What are you talking about J.T.?" Paige asked.

"The person who killed Hazel........just tried to kill me. He's here and I think........wait a second that's Emma's notebook," J.T. said, picking up Emma's notebook from the back of the funhouse.

"And that's Manny's spirit squad jacket. Oh my god...." Paige shrieked.

It was filled with blood and Emma's notebook had specks of blood on it as well.

Paige, Spinner, and J.T. looked up to notice two dead bodies being taken from the funhouse. Each one was covered with a black body bag.

They all knew who was in them.

"No........NO!" J.T. exclaimed angrily.

"See.....this is what I din't want to happen," Paige shakily stared.

"What?" Spinner asked.

"Don't you see? The killer didn't kill me before because he was saving me for last. He wanted to kill off all my friends first," Paige replplied.

"Paige, this doesn't have anything to do with you," Spinner started.

"Yes it does Spin. And I don't want it to happen again.......especially to the one person I care about the most," Paige said, starting to cry.

"What......what are you trying to say?" Spinner asked, already knowing the answer.

"I'm saying......we have to break up," Paige replied.

****************************************************

Well, Emma and Manny are dead. I actually wanted Manny to die (29.2% of the votes) but I kinda hate that the second runner up, Emma (20.8%) was the one you all wanted dead. I mean, Emma was SUPPOSED to be a big part of the story. But I have a new idea now. Also, just because the characters sometimes refer to the killer as "her" and the fact that he was in the restroom with J.T., does not mean that the killer is a male!

Well vote for the next two people to die! And the vote after this one will feature two only two people, both of which have recieved little or no votes at all!
