Kelly pulled up to the gates a large smile on her face but that was quickly wiped off as the blare of sirens hit her ears. She could see the flash of police lights and ambulances and her heart sank. Outside of the school most of the students were stood watching in sadness most with tears coming down their face. What the hell had happened?.

She pulled up next to the bus and jumped out quickly running over to Jessica one of the rude girls. "What's gone on" she said as she searched the scene for Annabelle but she couldn't see her anywhere.

"We all went on a trip" she began through sobs as she tried to calm herself down. "The sixth formers didn't go like y'know and when we came back there was police and stuff 'ere and we literally only got back 'ere five minutes ago and" she continued but Kelly cut across the distressed girl.

"What happened Jess" she nearly yelled wanting to know. Her heart was thudding in her chest as she looked at the building and all the emergency services that surrounded them. There was so many police cars and ambulances she couldn't count.

"Seems when we went Pomfrey and his men came in and he took all tha' sixth formers hostage, hurt 'em and all that, the paramedics are seeing to everyone now, but from what we heard someone has been shot and is in a bad way" she nearly sobbed praying it wasn't Bianca.

"Oh god" she said her body going into shock. Without thinking she ducked under the tape but was instantly restrained by a few policemen. "My girlfriend is in there you pricks now let me pass" she screamed but it was pointless their grip on her was just to tight to break a hold of. Pulling out of their grasp she pulled out her MI7 badge and flashed it to them and they quickly let her pass. Running over to her she saw Miss Fritton who had a look of horror on her face.

"Kelly girlie just calm down, Annabelle is probably fine, don't work yourself up" she said taking the girl away from the officers and standing just behind the tape. She didn't know whether she was trying to reassure Kelly or herself.

Finally people began to emerge from the building. The first to come out was Bianca who was being led to an ambulance a large ice pack pressed to her face. Jessica ran under the tape and sprinted over to her friend throwing her arms around her. The two walked over to the ambulance where they sat whist she was seen too, but she could tell Bianca's eyes never left the doorway.

Next to come out was Zoe and Roxy who looked relatively unharmed but had blood covering their body. But it wasn't their own blood and there was certainly a lot of it. She caught Roxy's eyes and the girls eyes darted to the floor. And now she just knew.

The next one's to come out were the two posh totties who were sobbing loudly as they too were covered in blood but again not their own. Now it was only Chelsea and Annabelle. The whole school held their breath as she waited to see who would be the next ones to emerge.

Paramedics appeared as they frantically wheeled out someone on the bed. And just behind them emerged Chelsea who had had blood covering her head to toe. "Oh no" Kelly screamed and ran over to Annabelle who was being wheeled to the ambulance. "Annabelle" she screamed a gut wrenching scream and stopped by the ambulance they were loading her into. Taking one look at her she turned and vomited violently next to the ambulance. That wasn't Annabelle, that wasn't her Annabelle she cried as she took another look at the bloodied and battered girl. The features were completely unrecognisable but the hair. The hair was. She was knocked out of her reverie by a paramedic.

"Who are you?" she asked quickly as they put her into the ambulance.

"I'm her girlfriend, I'm coming with you" she said and the paramedic nodded, helping her into the ambulance and slamming the doors shut. Instantly they started working on her girlfriend. I can't lose her now she pleaded inwardly as she felt the ambulance pull off.

"Chelsea" Miss Fritton said shaking the young girl who was just staring blankly at the ambulance which was pulling off. She was disturbed. Seriously. "Chelsea what went on in there, what happened to Annabelle" she said her voice filled with pleading. This was the first time the students had ever seen Miss Fritton show raw emotion. But Chelsea didn't speak.

"Look we have to take her down the hospital to give her some stitches okay, do you want to come with us?" the male paramedic said gently as he ushered Chelsea up onto the bed. Usually Camilla would give a rather vulgar sexual innuendo but this time she didn't. She merely nodded and jumped in the ambulance. She couldn't get her head around what had happened and she mentally slapped herself for leaving the girls so vulnerable to an assault.

Shaking her head to rid those thoughts she turned her attention to Chelsea. "Girlie" she said gently nudging the girl in the shoulder. Finally she got a reaction as the girl's eyes went to her headmistress. "What went on in there my dear girl?" she cooed trying to keep her emotions in check. And slowly in a complete monotone voice she repeated the story detail by detail.

"18 year old Annabelle Fritton" the paramedics yelled as they wheeled her through the doors of the hospital and several doctors and nurses met up with them. Kelly hurried behind the trolley trying to keep up. "Shot in the abdomen, BP 60 over 120 and dropping, crashed twice on site until stable in ambulance, 50mg of Morphine but receiving no signs of consciousness" the paramedic recited and Kelly's heart started beating quicker and quicker.

They pushed her through into the emergency room but just as Kelly was about to step in the nurse turned and looked at her. "I'm sorry but you cannot come in here" she said before scurrying off into the room. But before the doors closed Kelly slipped in and stood at the opposite side of the room praying she wouldn't get seen. She needed to be here.

"Okay Annabelle love can you hear me?" the male doctor said as he lit his torch into both her eyes. There was no response to this. "Okay pupils dilated, possible head trauma" he said as he ordered his nurses to get some bits of bobs to inject into her.

Kelly just stood there and watched in a daze. It seemed to be going in slow motion. Like they weren't going fast enough. Suddenly a loud flatline hit her ears and looking at the monitor that Annabelle was connected too she noticed that the line was flat. "Okay I need another 50mg of adrenaline please, nurse pass me the crash paddles thank you" he ordered as he ripped her shirt open exposing her bruised and bloody body.

Kelly felt nauseas as she looked at the state her girlfriend was in. How could someone do that to her? She questioned tears stinging at her eyes. Why her?.

"Okay move away please charging 300" he said and pressed the paddles to Annabelle's chest. Her body jerked violently but there was not change to the monitor. Kelly jumped with paddles as the electric current surged through Annabelle's body. She could feel it. She felt that jolt as if it were here laying there.

"Okay once more" he said and pressed the paddles down. "Come on Annabelle you're too young to die yet" the doctor said determined not to let this school girl die. He had seen too many young lives wasted and he was adamant to save this one.

"And once again" he said and her body jerked for a third time. The seconds after that seemed like hours but suddenly the line began to move. Beep. Beep. Beep. Kelly's body swam with relief and she nearly collapsed in happiness. Finally though the nurse spotted her and came over to her.

"Love you can't be in here sorry" she said softer than the other nurse did and ushered her out slowly.

"Is she going to be okay?" she croaked looking at the nurse who's hands were covered in blood. Her eyes were wide and filled with pleading.

"It's too early to tell I'm sorry, sit here and the doctor will keep you updated" she said with a nod and walked back into the emergency room. Kelly walked to the widow and looked in, resting her head against the cool glass. Her gaze was fixed on Annabelle as the doctors ran around quickly attaching her to tubes.

Kelly couldn't look at it all anymore. It made her want to vomit again. So instead she retired to the chairs and held her tired head in her hands. The same thing kept going through her head. What happened? What happened? What happened? What happened? What happened? What happened? What happened? What happened? What happened? What happened? What happened? What happened? What happened? What happened? What happened? What happened? What happened?.

She was snapped out of the mantra by Camilla's voice hitting her ears. "Kelly where is she?" the headmistress asked as she ran forward Chelsea just behind her. Kelly just pointed at the window in front of her and the two women walked over to it.

Camilla looked at her niece who was being treated and her face drained of colour. Chelsea on the other hand was just staring at Annabelle in shock. She couldn't believe that it was her friend there, it didn't look a thing like her.

Camilla went to sit down next to Kelly and put a hand on the girls back. "She'll be okay Kelly, she's a Fritton okay" she said trying to reassure them all. But she couldn't even believe her own words as she saw the state on the girl.

"Will she" Kelly questioned doubt filling every pore. She couldn't help but feel as if she was going to lose the girl. The girl who she hadn't even told how much she loved her. "Chelsea you were there, can you tell me what happened?" Kelly asked turning to the blonde who was still by the window. Getting no response she walked over to the taller woman and turned her around to face her. "Chelsea please" she begged her arms on either side of the girl. "I need to know" she whispered tears stinging her eyes.

Seeing this Chelsea just nodded and walked over to the chairs and sat down shakily, Kelly sitting next to her. "We were all talking" she began to voice non Chelsea like. It wasn't the girly high pitched one they had come to know. Instead it was a lot hoarser and deeper. "When all of a sudden people started to drop through the roof" she said her hands tightly in her lap.

"Annabelle told us all to run but by the time we got anywhere near the door these men had grabbed us and we got into a fight with them but they overpowered us and had us all pinned" she said taking a breath and then she continued. "I looked into the middle of the room and Annabelle was struggling and then she was on the floor because someone had punched her" she said and Kelly's fist tightened at her side.

"Turns out it was Pomfrey who had hit her and he was taunting her you know, and I don't know where the confidence came from but she was mouthing back at him, like she wasn't afraid of what he would do, and ended up getting a kick in the stomach for it" she said her face falling slightly. I wish I had done more to stop her from getting hurt she cried inwardly feeling guilty for letting the girl go through that alone.

"So she decided to wind him up a bit and all she got in return again was another hit" Chelsea gulped as she looked at Kelly who's body was tensed tightly. "So I tried to get him to leave Belle alone and he started on me, but while he did that she had somehow got to her phone and rang the police so they knew what was happening" she said a small smile on her face at how good her friend had done.

A ghost of a smile graced Kelly's face for a few seconds also as she listened to Chelsea's words. Her girl had done it. "All of a sudden though he flipped out because Belle went to get to her feet and he just kept kicking her and kicking her and kicking her" she said her voice shaking. "I couldn't look, it made me feel sick" she whimpered her voice straining as she remembered it. "Eventually he stopped and when I looked back she was just lying there, completely still, and if it wasn't for all the blood would have thought she was a sleep" she spoke her voice getting more strained by the second.

Kelly just gulped in horror. It was brutal. "He started going through his bag and he pulled out a syringe" she breathed trying to keep herself under control for Kelly's sake. "Bianca said what are you going to do to her and he looked at me and said 'who said I was going to do anything to her' and came over to me with the syringe" she said her head ducking slightly.

"He was just about to grab my arm when typical Belle cut across" she said looking at Kelly who had paled considerably. Camilla was sat behind her rubbing the girls back soothingly. "Don't you dare touch them, that's what she said, even in the state she was in she still refused to let him go anywhere near us" she added her voice breaking even more. Stopping for a second she sucked in a breath.

"So he walked over to her and a few of them pinned her down and he injected her with the stuff" she said her eyes narrowed in confusion. She still had no idea what that stuff was. "All of a sudden she was writhing around on the floor screaming in pain, she hadn't screamed once until then, but she was crying and shouting when it just stopped, just like that and she was fine, well as fine as she could be you know" Chelsea shrugged her eyes unconsciously wandering to the window up ahead where the girl was lying.

"He started teasing her again, telling her to get up and everytime she was about to stand he hit her so she fell down again, but she had enough and before we knew it she headbutted him straight in the nose" she laughed still laughing at the scene that was replaying in her head. That's my girl Kelly whispered inwardly glad that she had gotten one back on him.

"I was sure she had broken it but yeah so after all that he came at her with his gun and hit her across the head with it, I think he called it a pistol whip" she said and Kelly winced. She was trained how to do that properly and she knew how much it hurt. "I don't know how but she still managed to get back to her feet but he called over one of his men and they dragged Roxy over with them" she said her hands twiddling in her lap. She didn't know how she remembered the details. She wished she didn't.

"He made her pick, either she gets hit or they hit Roxy" she gulped and Kelly's eyes widened. "Roxy kept saying for her to tell them to hit her but Annabelle wouldn't have it and even in her state she made them hit her, then they did the same with me and again she wouldn't let them touch me and she got hit again" she said a stray tear finally falling down her face.

"Then he said that he had to go" she said looking at Kelly sullenly. "We thought it was all over but as he left he turned and shot the gun and we all ducked for cover. None of us knew who had been shot but when we got up Annabelle was just standing there" she said her voice low and barely above a whisper. "She looked shocked and her hand was on her stomach, that's when I saw all the blood, then she just fell, just like that" Chelsea ended taking in Kelly shocked appearance.

"We all tried to help, put pressure on the wounds, tried to keep her awake and last thing she said to me was be careful, and then she just went limp in my arms, she hasn't been awake since" Chelsea said dropping her head into her hands.

"My girl, she's a hero" Kelly whispered and she could feel Camilla squeeze her shoulder gently. "She really does take this head girl stuff seriously doesn't she" she said a small laugh coming from her and she received one form the other two women. "My hero".
