Mystery Murder and a Hint of Mind Control

"Okay, it's getting late. Where's Ms. Darbus?" Ryan said fidgeting with wristwatch. "6:23..." He announced.

"6:23? NO! I MISSED MY FAVORITE SHOW! I didn't get to see Chad Michael Murray. Man he's so hot." Sharpay said making everyone shake their heads.

"Yeah, I'm hungry I'm missing dinner because of this!" Chad folded his arms.

Troy was paying no attention to them and started looking around. Something caught his eye in the corner but he shrugged it off. He looked at Gabriella who in turn was winking in the direction of the same corner.

"Gabri-" Troy started.

"Taylor? Where's Taylor!?" Chad jumped up. Everyone looked around but didn't find her.

Gabriella looked around cursing under her breath. She was NOT supposed to run off! We were supposed to kill time!' She looked at the door and noticed it was slightly open and Chad traced Gabriella's vision to the door.

Troy knew something was definitely up now. She didn't even look as worried as she should for Taylor. But what?

"Troy come with me we gotta find her! Ryan stay here and watch them." Ryan nodded.

Troy and Chad headed to the hall and were met by the same darkness Taylor had encountered. Troy grabbed his key chain and pressed the light's button. (A/N Umm… you know the little key chain light things you can buy from like Jewel Osco or something? That's what Troy has)

He used the light to look around the hallway. When he saw nothing he hung his head and his eyes widened.

"Chad! Dude look! Is that blood?"

"Oh my God! Okay just follow it!" Chad was worried. 'That's a lot of blood. Too much'

"Taylor! I see her over there!" Troy pointed to a bench and saw Taylor unmoving.

"Taylor, wake up please. Stay with me!" Chad exclaimed slapping her face a little. Taylor jerked up and screamed.

"GET AWAY STOP!! DON'T HURT ME PLEASE!"

"Tay! It's me and Troy. Chad and Troy! Calm down! Breathe! What's wrong?!"

"He's back!! He hurt my-" She winced in pain.

"Who? Taylor! Who!" She fainted.

"Her leg's wet, Troy put the light down here." Troy brought the light down to her left leg. Blood was all over her thigh and a cut was in her jeans.

"Stabbed?"

Chad got up and ripped a piece of his under shirt off and tied it around her thigh to put pressure on the wound and stop the bleeding. He picked Taylor up. "Dude, we gotta get Tay to a hospital! Let's just go we can call them from there." Chad said heading off to the exit door around the corner.

"Wow, Chad. Since when did you get smart enough for this?"

Chad shook his head in disapproval. "Troy open the door and shut up. And stop joking, dude this is serious!"

"Okay I'm just trying to loosen the tension." Troy said pushing the door.

"What's wrong? Open it…"

"IT WONT!"

"Weakling."

"Fine you try, give me Taylor."

Chad handed Taylor to Troy as if she was a baby. Well she was light and easy to carry. He tried opening the door but just as Troy said, it didn't open.

"Uh huh, yeah so shut up Chad."

"Err, lets just go back to everyone they might get too worried."

Gabriella's POV

As Troy and Chad walked in with Taylor, my heart sunk. She was hurt. "Good." 'Dang… I said that out loud didn't I.. crap'

"What's good?! She's hurt!" Chad said looking Taylor over for anymore wounds.

"Uh u-um… what's good is that.. She… You found her." 'Oh God, that was a horrible excuse, too much stuttering… Troy at least was bound to notice.' I immediately looked at Troy who was looking at me. He had a weird look plastered on his face. Kind of like a I-know-you're-behind-this-and-what-is-going-on look. I looked up to hide my guilt.

"What happened to her?" Ryan said.

"She was stabbed." Troy explained.

"By what, who?"

"We don't know that yet Sharpay."

"What are we going to do now, I mean she cant stay here that long her cut has to be treated or something." Chad's seriousness made everyone laugh.

I didn't realize what everyone was laughing at and just started a slight giggle to fit in.

"Oh my Gosh, PEOPLE WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?!" Chad said trying to knock some reality back into everyone.

"Dude calm down. Oh, and everyone we're locked in the school." Troy said casually.

"What? I CAN'T WEAR THIS OUTFIT TWICE! And I only have one other one In my locker. But it's the one that Gabriella," Sharpay said glaring at Gabriella. "spilled cheese fries on! And no I'm NOT wearing that!"

"Okay, we can bust a window…" Ryan said.

"Oh my God no, we could get in trouble with the police!" I blurted out to get them out of the idea of escaping… 'This wasn't planned.'

"Cell phones anyone?" A familiar voice said.

"TAYLOR!" Everyone exclaimed in unison. Even Sharpay. Everyone stopped running to Taylor and looked at Sharpay.

"WHAT?! Do what you were doing." When everyone just sat there staring at her she snapped. "NOW!"

"Oh my God. Are you okay?" I tried to sound convincing but Troy just stared at me awkwardly. 'He knew something now.' "Uh… I'm.. I'm gonna go make sure the door is locked… just in case." I ran to the door and poked my head out. He was standing right there awaiting my word.

"Good. But Taylor was supposed to be last. And Troy… he, I think he… knows something."

"Don't worry just make sure everyone splits up." He smirked.

"Thanks, will do, Jason." I closed the door.

(A/N) Hey okay, so now you know who HE is? Heh, was it obvious? lol okay reviewzors. Once again not much of a cliffy but this one was supposed to catch you off guard.
