The remaining eleven students ran out of the locker rooms screaming, everyone nearly bumped into each other doing so. "Oh my God," Manny said loudly out of breathe from all the running and screaming. Manny leaned against the wall and slowly slid down so that she was sitting.

Ellie and Alex were rather confused that everyone was screaming; they both seemed clueless in the big mob of students. "What's going on?" Ellie finally asked after everyone was breathing normally again.

Darcy spoke up from the crowd, "Paige is, is…dead," it was hard for her to say seeing as it didn't seem possible that Emma and Paige were actually dead. Nobody wanted to believe it, but it was true and they were gone.

Mia nodded and looked around the boys one familiar face was missing, "Where's JT?" she asked stepping on the tips of her toes to see over that taller heads. She was very confused at the moment, a terrible thought came to her mind but she wasn't going to believe that.

"And Marco?" Ellie questioned also looking around the boys; she hadn't noticed that the small, dark haired boy was not in the crowd of people until Mia mentioned JT. A chill ran down her spine, she thought of the several possibilities why the boys had come out yelling.

"They're-" Spinner broke off, he didn't want to say what he had to say to them, he knew that each of them would be heart broken, but then again not telling them either wasn't the best idea. He waited till somebody else spoke up instead of him.

A tear ran down Mia's cheek, "They're what?" she said in a more angry tone; she was annoyed that Spinner had just broken off like that. More tears began to run down her cheeks when she realized what he was going to say.

Peter looked at Spinner; he knew that Spinner wasn't going to say anything else so he did, "They're gone," he said as Mia fell to her knees, absolutely bawling her eyes out now. Peter walked over to Darcy as she too was crying.

Ellie knew what was coming but she just had to ask, "They're gone where?" she asked as a tear slowly ran down her cheek. Sean moved to go stand next to her and he put his arm around her but she shook it off.

"They're dead," Jay said in a more firm voice than all the other's had spoken with.

Craig walked over to Manny and kissed the top of her head as she leaned in towards him crying. Jimmy rolled towards Ellie who was sitting against a locker; he rubbed her back, comforting her. Jay, Alex and Sean all stood together, inside they were sad, but neither of them really seemed to show it outside.

Spinner stood up, "We can't let whoever that is doing this just get by with it, we have to hunt them down," he said confidently. Being a leader wasn't really Spinner's thing but someone had to try.

Manny stopped sobbing, "But we're the only people in the school," she said, "Unless there's some creep going around the school…" she winced at the thought, "B-but how are we suppose to do anything?" she looked at Spinner hopefully.

He thought for a moment before responding to Manny, "First we have to get out of here," he paused, "And we have to stay together at all times," he said; he didn't another situation were the guys and girls were separated just incase anything else happened.

"We probably should start to get going," Jay said and looked out the window, the sun was setting, "You know before it gets dark," he suggested, seeing as the girls probably wouldn't like the school to much after dark and considering all the deaths.

"He's right," Darcy said wiping her red eyes, sniffled and held tightly onto Peter, who smiled and held her too. "Let's go," she said and began to walk forward towards the doors that led out of Degrassi.

Mia got up from her knees but it didn't stop her from crying. Manny stood up leaving Craig sitting on the ground; she went over to Mia and gave her a hug, Mia cried on her shoulder. "It's okay," she whispered even though everything was far from okay.

Jay, Alex and Sean led everyone to the doors.

Jimmy and Spinner hung out in the back, behind everyone. "Dude, this is like super weird," Spinner said looking down at Jimmy who rolled next to him wide-eyed. "People are dying, we've got to do something," he stated.

Jimmy nodded in agreement, "I think we-" he broke off when Ellie trailed behind with them, "Look Elle…we're really sorry about Marco…" he trailed off not wanting to make her feel worse than she probably already did.

"No, no, it's not your fault, unless of course you are a psycho killer but I highly doubt that," she responded half amused with what she had said even though this was a very serious matter. "So how did he…you know…go down?" She asked looking at the ground and not at Jimmy.

Jimmy and Spinner told her about what happened in the shower room, "And then, he was gone," Spinner concluded looking at Ellie to make sure she was okay. They all continued to walk down the long hallway leading to the doors.

Ellie sniffled, "We should catch up with the others," she said picking up her pace slightly. Jimmy used his arms and pushed himself a bit faster and Spinner sped up his walking.

Darcy looked at Manny and Mia, "Don't you think that whoever is doing this is going why too far?" She said looking at the two girls nodding fervidly. "I mean, why they would even think of doing something like this?" she questioned more to herself.

"I have no idea but they must be pretty confused inside of their head," she responded. Just as she opened her mouth to speak again Peter pushed in beside Darcy and put his arms around Darcy and Manny. Darcy let him put his arm around her but Manny on the other hand shook it off quickly.

"So…Mia, you want to know how JT d-died?" he asked looking to meet her eyes, but before he could he felt a hard hit on the side of his stomach, Darcy shook his arm off her shoulder.

"Peter," she hissed. Darcy gave him a look that was supposed to mean 'don't talk about right now' which he clearly understood and looked at her apologetically. He mumbled a 'sorry' which nobody heard.

When everyone reached the doors, Craig and Jay were the first one's to push them open; the only problem was that they didn't open. Both boys started pounding on the hard doors, but they didn't budge. "Damn," Jay said loudly.

"Somebody jammed the doors," Alex said, stating the obvious.

Spinner walked over towards the doors and he too gave them another hard push but they would not move, the principle had also just installed new alarm systems, so whoever was out was not getting in without a code and it worked the same vice-versa.

"This is just great," Sean sighed looking around pointlessly, "But…" he continued, "If the killer is inside the school then they aren't getting out," he said thinking of a plan, he was good at that sort of thing.

"Yeah, but if they have the code," Peter argued, usually he could get anything from his mom's office but she always kept the codes for the school with her, "Here's a thought, if we are locked in the school with the killer there are more of us then it, so we could probably find them…" he trailed off, loosing his thought.

"Yeah but where would a killer hide?" Craig asked.

"In movies it's usually in the basement or somewhere dark," Manny said using her movie knowledge but she wasn't exactly sure. She moved over towards where Craig was standing and put her arm around his waist.

Darcy swallowed, "I say we check the basement," she said worriedly. She didn't want to go down to the basement, but if they could stop whoever that was doing this she would feel more comfortable being locked in the school.

"Great idea," Spinner said looking at Darcy then away quickly. He moved to the front of everyone to be the leader once again. "Let's just get this over with," he said in a solid tone.

"This is not going to be fun," Ellie sighed as she walked next to Sean. She wanted to find the person that had killed the others but at the same time her stomach was filled with fear. She too a deep breathe trying to calm her nerves.

"We'll find whoever is doing this," he reassured her confidentially.

"But what if we don't? What if we all die?" Ellie worried. She was just well…precautious that was all; she just wanted to expect the worse even though things might be better than what she assumed.

Sean ignored her shaking his head slightly, "Don't worry," he said calmly before he turned to look her way. They both followed everyone towards the basement. Ellie was not at all comfortable with this idea.

Everyone was now in more of a clump then anything else. Manny squeezed Craig's hand as they got closer to the basement, Peter held onto Darcy tightly, Jimmy and Spinner walked together, Jay, Sean and Alex lingered not too far apart, Mia and Ellie walked close together making sure not to stray from the group.

They finally arrived at the large basement door.

Who would be the bravest to open the door? Peter stepped forward ready to grab the handle but Darcy pulled him back, "Peter," she said meaning she didn't want him to be the one to open the door.

Craig felt as though he hadn't done too much for everyone so far so he stepped forward and slowly opened the door, "We'll here we are," he said as he opened the door fully, everyone tried to see down the dark staircase.

"Here we are," Alex muttered repeating what Craig had said only in a different tone, she peered down the stairs. "We might as well go down then," she said, "we are here for that right?" she said looking at everyone curiously seeing as no one seemed to budge.

Spinner looked down the staircase as well, "Follow m-me," he said and began to go down the first step into the dark basement. "Remember to stay close together and…" he trailed off, now just focusing on getting down the stairs.

"I've got to stay up here," said Jimmy looking down at his wheelchair, "Good luck," he wished everyone as they passed him to go down the steep stairs. He looked to see if anyone would stay behind with him.

"Uh, I think I'll stay with Jimmy," Mia said with absolutely no confidence, she was way too scared to go down into the basement. She moved over to where Jimmy was sitting next to the door.

Everyone passed them slowly, Spinner still leading and everyone else following behind, "I don't want to go down there," Manny said looking up at Craig, "I can't," she said biting her lip hard.

"You can, I'll be right here," he said pulling her in tightly towards him. "Just stay close and everything will be fine, don't you worry," he said too many and kissed the top of her head.

Manny gulped.

Jay, Sean and Alex were the last to go through the doors to the basement, "Why are we always last?" Alex mumbled to herself. She was the last to pass through the door which slowly closed after she came through.

Nobody said anything.

It was quiet, Spinner lead and Alex was last. Suddenly there was a loud sound and a scream; nobody could tell what was going on seeing as it was too dark. The scream was definitely a girl…
