A Haunting at Jump City High

Chapter Two

Kori gasped and pointed at the teacher's desk.

Her friends followed her shaking finger to the front of the room where Miss Gibbons sat, slumped over as if sleeping. A knife was protruding from her back, blood soaking her white blouse and staining it a deep crimson. There was nobody else in the room. Kori reached for Richard's hand and stared at the body in horror.

"W-we ha-have to g-get out of h-here!" Rachael stuttered, dashing from her seat and going to the door at the back of the classroom. She twisted the handle and pulled on it; the door wouldn't open. She even tried pushing on it. "You guys? T-the door's l-locked. Somebody has to try the one up at the front of the classroom. And it's not gonna be me." Everybody looked at eachother in fear.

"M-maybe we should all go up together." Kori suggested. They all stared at eachother for a few more minutes and came upon the silent decision that it was a good idea. They left their seats and walked to the front of the class, carefully avoiding Miss Gibbons' body. Victor reached out and tried the door, finding it to be locked also. "We have to get out of here!" Kori wailed, burying her head in Richard's shoulder. "We have to!" As if responding to this, the map at the front of the class rolled down, cutting through the thick, horror-filled silence eerily. The five friends looked at it.

Nobody gets out alive.

"It's written in blood." Gar whispered, as if he was afraid of waking the dead (a/n: Miss Gibbons). The words dripped down the surface to which they had been applied, proving Gar's hunch correct.

"Maybe we could pick the lock." Richard said, walking back to the other door, he turned to Rachael and Kori. "One of you got a bobby pin?"

"Do you really think we'd carry bobby pins?" Rachael snapped. "You're the one who takes Kung Fu around here! Why don't you kick the door open?" But Richard wasn't listening He was busy staring at the shade that had been pulled down with intense concentration. A jingling sound filled their ears, getting louder as it got closer. The shadow of somebody moved past the door, it seemed to be pushing something.

"The janitor!" Kori exclaimed. "Get his attention! Quick!" Richard started banging on the door, with one good punch, it went flying off its hinges and landed with a loud bang on the floor. The jingling stopped. All five friends cautiously exited the class and looked down the hall at the janitor who had a knife stuck in his back, blood darkening his uniform.

"Oh my God." Rachael muttured.

"Holy shit." Vic and Richard said at the same time. Kori let out a small "Eep" and scooted closer to Richard and he wrapped his arm around her waist as she sobbed silently.

"Not janitor Bob." Gar said. "He was so cool."

"We have to get out of here." Rachael declared, but seconds later, a loud bang echoed throughout the halls. "Was that a gun?" she squeeked, taking hold of Gar's hand, something she normally wouldn't have done. Another crash sounded followed by several more, in a few seconds all the lockers surrounding them started opening and banging shut. Nobody noticed the small, child-like figure cloaked in black that floated behind them and down the opposite hall.
