Chapter 13 – Goodbyes

After telling some students she had met about Libby, they quickly accepted Amelia. The felt bad and most had known Libby well, especially Kayla and Jacob.

"Did she tell you about the haunted room?" Kayla asked, over lunch.

"Yeah. It's the room next to ours."

"Did she tell you about the boy?" Amelia looked at her confused.

"No. What boy?"

"There's a boy that wanders the halls there. Jacob and I have seen him. He's a ghost."

"What does he look like?"

"He has dark hair, blue eyes. He's about our age. He was killed there." Amelia didn't answer. She knew it was the boy she had seen. She wondered if he had scared Libby. "Everyone who goes in that room gets killed," Kayla said.

"I know, that's what Libby said." Their lunch hour remained silent. They were both worried about Libby and what had happened to her.

Mulder and Scully went to the school hoping to talk to a girl named Libby, but they found that she had had quite a night, and they couldn't speak to her. Apparently she woke herself screaming many times, and she managed to escape and wander the halls near the haunted room twice. She started telling them it was her turn. No one had known what it meant. Mulder and Scully decided that they would talk to the principal, Scharlise Bergan. When they entered her room she gave them a rude look but then realized who they were and welcomed them.

"Scharlise, I heard a student of yours had some problems yesterday," Scully said.

"Yes. She had been a trouble maker too. She broke some rules and I had her punished."

"What did you do?" Mulder said.

"I told her that what she did wasn't acceptable and gave her an in-school suspension." Mulder could tell she wasn't lying. Though she was rough around the edges, she was an honest woman. "Then I sent her back to class, but I later found out she skipped. I don't know where she went. I intended on talking to her about it, but she had this little breakdown."

"Could this have anything to do with that haunted room they talk about so much?" Mulder asked.

"You mean that room the children were killed in? Possibly. She always hung around there, asked questions about it. I've caught her trying to get in there numerous times, she never did though. Maybe she finally did and scared herself."

"Maybe," Scully said. Mulder stood up as a signal to Scully that they should leave. Miss Bergan got the hint and they thanked her for her time. The asked the lady at the front desk if Libby had a roommate they could speak to.

Amelia was pulled out of class to speak to two FBI agents. She had recognized them from the day before and was just thankful to get out of science class.

"So your name is Amelia? That's a nice name," The red-headed woman told Amelia as she sat down. "My name is Dana."

"Hello," Amelia said, quietly.

"This is Agent Mulder," Dana said, pointing to the man standing behind her. He nodded at her and looked at Dana with what seemed to be a lot more than partnership in his eyes.

"Hi," Amelia said.

"Is it okay if we ask you a few questions?" Dana asked. Amelia nodded. "You were Libby's roommate, right?"

"Yes."

"Was she pretty interested in the room next to yours? Room 214?"

"Yeah. She called it the haunted room."

"Did she ever try to get in there?"

"No," Amelia said confused. "She did try to get me to go in."

"But you didn't?"

"No. I guess my friend Kayla did say that Libby wanted to go in there."

"Did she tell you anything about a boy?"

"No, Kayla did, but I saw him. When Libby started screaming I saw him. The he disappeared." Suddenly the door flung open. The nurse burst in.

"Libby's missing again," she said. The two agents stood up and rushed out of the room after telling Amelia to stay there. Instead she followed them to the haunted room. The door was ajar and Agent Mulder opened the door the rest of the way. She shined his flashlight onto a small body on the floor. Scully rushed in as the nurse tested the light switch. When id didn't work she opened the shades and quickly looked back at Scully. Scully shook her head and dialed an ambulance. Mulder looked up to Amelia in the doorway. Her mouth was open and she had fallen to her knees. He caught her just as she fainted. Libby was dead.
