Blood Bath
The Ducks walked through the maze of hallways trying to find there new friend Michael's room. Michael had just moved to Eden Hall Academy from England and was boarding there. The Ducks had never been to this part of the dorm before, so they didn't know where anything was.
"Guys we've been walking for hours" Averman moaned. "Why did he have to choose the part of the dorm we didn't know?"
"Actually we've only been walking for FIVE minutes" Charlie explained getting annoyed.
"Didn't he give you any directions?" asked Julie.
"Uh yeah, he said that his room was somewhere here" Charlie replied.
"SOMEWHERE?" Goldberg said sarcastically. "Gee Charlie that's a lot of information."
They carried on walking through hallway after hallway after hallway. This carried on for another half an hour. They were starting to lose hope that they'd ever find the place.
"Guys this is useless, we've been walking around for nearly an hour" Adam said.
"Hey do you guys need some help?" asked a voice behind them.
The Ducks turned around to find Shane Ludige standing behind them. Shane was one of the most popular guys in school after his best friend Craig Summers. They couldn't believe he had just asked them if they needed help. Shane noticed them staring at him weirdly.
"What?" he asked. "Never been asked if you need help before?"
"Sorry, yeah we do need help" Charlie said quickly changing his expression. "Do you know where 52 B is?"
"Oh yeah its right after this aisle here, hey do you guys mind if I quickly stop in by Craig?" Shane asked.
"Nope it's ok, we're late anyhow so it won't really make a difference" Julie said with a sigh.
They followed Shane down the hall. They heard loud music blasting from speakers while passing some of the rooms. They eventually got to Craig's room…but something was wrong. There was something red smeared all over the door.
"Is that what I think it is?" Goldberg asked swallowing hard.
"There's only one way to find out…" Shane said opening the door.
They slowly followed Shane into the room. It was totally ransacked. All his clothes were thrown onto the floor. His bookcase was on its side and all the books had been ripped apart. His bag had been turned over and all the contents now in the dustbin. They stared at the messy room.
"What the heck went on…?" Shane stopped suddenly. Something had caught his eye.
He slowly moved toward Craig's bed. The sheets were soaked in blood and the walls around had blood splattered all over them. Shane just stared at the sheets, he didn't move. The Ducks slowly moved up behind him.
Guy took the edge of the sheet and slowly started pull it off the body. Shane turned around, he couldn't bear to look. Guy then ripped off the sheet. All of the Ducks gasped in disbelief. Craig Summers lay there, his body cold and as white as snow. His chest had been ripped straight through the middle.
Shane turned around slowly and stared at his friend….his eyes watering.
"I- I – I have to go" he stammered and made his way out of the room.
The Ducks stared at the sight, unable to say anything. Goldberg however had been walking out of the room to see if he could find anything unusual. He spotted a box at the end of the room.
"Ooooo I wonder what's inside here" he thought to himself.
He opened the box carefully…inside there was a red looking lump of meat.
"Fooooood" Goldberg said happily.
The Ducks turned around to see what Goldberg was doing. Honestly he could be so insensitive at times.
"Hmm" Goldberg continued. "Looks a bit undercooked."
"Oh well" he shrugged and took the red lump out of the box.
Adam stared at the red lump of meat that Goldberg held in his hand. Then he suddenly realized….
"That's not food, that's a human heart!" he exclaimed.
Goldberg stared at the object he was holding. Suddenly Adam's words sunk in.
"Aw gross" Goldberg said putting it back into the box. "Yuk"
He ran to the bathroom to wash his hands. When he came back he saw everyone staring at something on the back wall. He went up to them to see what it was. Then he saw it, above the box, written in Craig's blood were the words "I'm Back". Everyone was silent. This was still a huge shock.
"Do you think it's a threat?" Connie asked finally breaking the silence.
"Maybe" Guy replied still deep in thought.
"Who could've done such a thing?" Julie wondered out loud.
They went back to where the body lay. Craig Summers was dead and they couldn't believe it. Just yesterday was he playing football on the field, like nothing could go wrong. They were all secretly wondering what he could've done to deserve something like this.
"We should call the police" Charlie said finally breaking the silence.
"Yeah we can call him from Michael's room" Adam said.
They followed Charlie out of the room. He closed the door and lead the down the hallway and into the hallway where Michael was. He walked along the hallway until he got to 52 B. He knocked on the door, he heard footsteps coming closer then a friendly…
"Hello, I wondered when you guys would arrive….hey…wait what's wrong? You all look like you've seen a ghost" Michael said looking at their expressions weirdly.
"Could we please use your phone?" Charlie asked. "It's an emergency."
"Yeah sure" Michael said stepping out of the way for them to come in.
While Charlie called the police, the rest of the team filled Michael in on what happened. He was just as shocked as they were to find out what happened.
"Why would someone do that?" he asked.
They all shrugged. "We don't know" Julie said her head in her hands.
ONE HOUR LATER
They were all standing in Craig's room along with the police. They had loaded Craig onto a stretcher and covered him with a white sheet. They had brought police dogs along, to see if there hadn't been any poisonous substances that could've affected Craig.
One of the dogs started sniffing Goldberg. It stuck it's nose into his pocket and pulled out two chocolate bars.
"Hey!" Goldberg yelled. "That's part of my professional diet!"
Goldberg tugged and pulled at the bars in the dog's mouth, but it was no use. He finally gave in and let the dog have it. This lightened the Ducks mood a little.
"You're using chocolate bars for a diet?" Julie asked with a laugh.
"Wait…when they said bars…did they mean those cereal, muesli bars or these chocolate bars?" Goldberg asked.
"GOLDBERG" the team said in unison laughing.
"What?" Goldberg asked.
"Excuse me" the police officer said. The Ducks immediately started paying attention.
"Well from what we can see, he was definitely killed, how we don't know, but we'll be in contact with you" the officer said.
"Alright guys let's go…it's time for lunch" another said.
"But we need a theory" the other argued.
"We'll just say a poisonous spider killed him ok?" the other one said beginning to leave the room.
"Good enough for me" the other agreed.
They left, leaving the Ducks alone.
"Did you hear that?" Adam yelled in disbelief.
"Yeah they didn't even try to figure out what was going on" Charlie agreed, clearly angry.
"Looks like we've got a mystery on our hands" Julie said. "I mean if they're not going to do anything, we might as well."
The team agreed. They picked up the box with the heart, something the police missed out. Just as they were about to leave, Portman stopped.
"Guys what's this?" he asked.
The Ducks all gathered around him to see what he was talking about. They saw him holding a silver metal bracelet. It has numbers on it.
"Looks like some funny bracelet" Kenny replied.
"Lets take it with us just in case" Julie said.
The others agreed and made their way out of the room. All the Ducks and Michael were thinking about what happened. It began to get late and they all decided that they should leave it for the morning. Something strange was going on here and they were going to figure out what.
Hey guys thanks once again for the reviews. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I know that this wasn't the best one but I promise the next one will be :) Please tell me what you think and R&R!
