Here's another chapter, for those of you who are reading this. I've started to kill off main characters in this chapter, as you will soon see. Everybody who's guessed on who's killing the staff, IS WRONG! The killer is a surprise, you'll find out in a few chapters who it is.
What are you doing reading this author's note anyways? Read the stinkin' story for crying out loud!
A Haunting at Jump City High

Chapter Three
Nobody noticed the small child-like figure cloaked in black that floated behind them and down the opposite hall.
"What're we gonna do?" Victor whispered as the lockers suddenly stopped banging open and closed. "Miss G. is dead. Even the frigging janitor is dead! There's obviously some psychotic murdurer in here."
"And he's picking us off one by one." Rachael said quietly, her hand still linked with Gar's. "There's no way out."
Kori shuddered and manuvered herself closer to Richard so their bodies were pressed up against eachother tightly. Richard, who would have been enjoying this thouroughly, were it not for the fact that they were locked in the school with some crazed idiot that had a fetish for killing innocent people, wrapped his arms around her waist tighter with a look of determination on his face. "Well, we're going to try and find one." he declared. "Everybody has their cell phones, right?" They all nodded. "Good. Me and Kori will search the first floor. If we find a way out, we'll call you. You three search up here. Try and find an open window if you can. We're not going down without a fight."
Before anybody could move, Kori's cell phone started ringing, it's cheerful melody unfit for the situation they were in. It echoed throughout the school, the lyrics of "Walking on Sunshine" mocking them. With a shaking hand, she reached into the back pocket of her jeans and took it out. "H-hello?" she choked out. There was a long pause on the other end of the line before a male's voice rasped it's answer.
"Victor is next."
The line went dead just as lightning struck against the obsidian flavored sky outside the only window in the hall. The lights flickered off, and the sound of manical laughter was heard as the criminal took his next victim's life.
"I don't like the fact that we left Victor behind, Richard." Kori said as they walked down the stairs to the first floor. "I understand that he's dead, but couldn't we have, I dunno, moved him or something?"
"I didn't really think of that, Kor, but once we get out of here, everything'll be okay. I promise." Richard replied, keeping her close to himself as they walked on. Kori looked up at him with a grateful smile. On the sudden impulse to do something she wouldn't ordinarily have done, she stood on the very tips of her toes and planted a kiss on his lips (a/n: Robin's taller than Starfire in this, just so you know). As she pulled away, he looked at her with a dazed expression on his face. "What was that for?" he asked, grinning toothily.
"In case we don't get out of here alive." she responded, returning his smile, not fully prepared for what he was going to do next. In an instant, he had pulled her to himself and started kissing her with every ounce of passion that he had in him. She returned it eagerly, neither ready for the two blood curdling screams that reached their ears from the library on the second floor.
