"Honey, have you seen the news today?" Suzie's mom asked her over the phone, a little shakier than usual. Suzie was puzzled by the question, "No, mom, why?" Suzie grabbed the remote off her hospital stand and turned on the TV and tuned it to channel 4. "Well, we think you should" her mom said. Suzie gasped when she read the main headline: Shooting at Polk High School. Suzie's eyes remain locked on the screen, but her mind drifted to her friends. "Oh god!" she thought, "What if they are hurt or worse, dead?" The banner changed the read something even worse.
Four confirmed dead so far. However Suzie was relieved to see at least two familiar faces who had escaped, Missy and Coconut Head. "There is some hope, I suppose" she said aloud to herself "I only can pray that the rest can get out". Suzie decided to call Missy, to see if there was anything else to know.
Missy picked up after only one ring. "Oh god Suzie" she said in a hysterical voice "Billy, please god no!"
"Wait what about Loomer?"
"He got into a fight with the shooter and I don't know if he made it and the shooter already killed the receptionists and some other kids and why did it have to be this school and—"
"Slow down Missy! Now who was the shooter?"
"That Eli kid, the one Ned kept fighting with"
Suzie dropped the phone at this remark. "Oh god" she thought "Everything is coming back now" The memories of the night Eli raped her and left her in the streets flooded her mind. She knew what she had to do.
She dialed her mom's number into the phone. "Get the police in here, I think I'm ready to talk"
Moze was freaking out inside. "Shit Shit Shit, what the fuck do I do in this situation, Ned never had a tip for school shooter!"
Eli advanced towards her, "You can run if you want, there is no way out, and I will catch you" Moze turned around and sprinted down the hallway and Eli followed her, albeit at a much slower pace. "While she is off doing that, I can at least round up the others"
He walked towards the room where Cookie should be. He went to open the door, only to find it locked. "Son of a bitch" he said aloud. He turned in a different direction and sprinted off.
Cookie sat against the wall, promising to protect Lisa, who sat next to him. "Baby, you know I'll always be here for you" he said before kissing her on the forehead "We will make it out of here"
"I know Simon, there is always someone looking after us, and we will always be protected". Simon embraced her in a deep hug, "No matter what happens today, know that I will always lover you"
"And I will always love you too" she said back.
SMASH!
Eli had returned to the door, this time wielding a baseball bat. It only took two shots from it for him to smash the window on the door. He reached his had hand through the hole and opened the door.
The classroom screamed as he entered. Cookie was shocked at who he saw, "Eli…."
"Yeah, that's right Cookie, I'm here" Eli said "And I need you" Cookie stood up ready to fight, but Lisa jumped in front of him. "If you want him, you are gonna need to take me as well." "Get out of here bitch" Eli said as he threw her to the side. A fire lit up in Cookie's eyes, "No one calls my girl a bitch"
He charged at Eli with a punch, but Eli simply moved out of the way. Eli took the bat and hit Cookie in the back once with it, before hitting him again in the chest, knocking him out. "SIMON NO!" Lisa said out loud as she rushed towards Eli. He cocked back his fist and hit her in the face, knocking her out. Eli through the light Lisa over his shoulder and dragged Simon by the arm and brought them to another classroom. He returned to the classroom where he just was, "I expect you to stay here" he said calmly.
Moze had finally stopped running. She had ended up on the complete opposite end of the school, when she realized Eli was right. "There is no way out" she thought to herself "This is the end". She slumped down in a corner, either out of rest or out of the fact that it was hopeless.
"Pssssss" a voice whispered "Over here" Moze got up and walked over to a door. A pair of arms grabbed her and pulled her inside. "What the hell are you doing outside?" Eric Bigby asked. Moze looked up at him, "Looking for a way out, but there is none and he is looking for me". Eric walked around the room, populated with several other kids Moze knew, notably Mary Fasano, Seth, and Martin. "Where is Ned?" she asked, unsure if she wanted to know the answer. Eric looked at her, "I don't know, he said he was gonna try and make his way down here, but I haven't heard from him in a while. "
Just like he was summoned by magic though, Ned opened and slammed the door shut. "Oh god, I have never ran so fast in my life" he said. Moze ran towards him and hugged him deeply. Ned returned the gesture; he wanted her to feel safe. Ned knew when it came down to it, there was no way he could protect her well, but he could at least make her think he could.
The door opened again, this time with a not so welcome character in it. "I knew Ned would lead me somewhere" Eli said as he walked in with his gun drawn. "I should have known it was you" Eric said, "You are a fucking piece of shit"
"No time for name calling, Eric" Eli said, "Lest we forget who is the man with the gun. He walked closer towards the students, "Now we can do this the easy way or the hard way" Eli said. He motioned towards Eric, Ned, Seth, and Moze , "I need you four to come with me and actually for shits and giggles, Mary can come too."
"And what if we don't?" Moze asked. "Well I will beat the shit out of you with my bat, and wheel you out in a dumpster to where I have to take you" Eli said, "Or you can just walk with me" The five decided the best way would be to just walk with him.
"Good" Eli said, "You are smarter than I give you credit for"
"Get back here!" Martin said as he rushed towards the exiting Eli "I'm not scared of you!" Martin hopped onto Eli's back, but he through him right to the floor. As Martin stood up though, he felt a sharp pain in his gut. He reached down to find his hand covered in blood and fell down to the floor. "Let that be a lesson" Eli said as he moved the five on towards his destination "I'm not afraid to kill you"
Martin sat on the floor, the blood dripping everywhere, tears burning his eyes. "Wh- Wh- Why?" He could only let himself sit there and wait for the darkness to come.
To be continued
The first of a few casualties in the story. The only safe ones are Missy, Suzie, and Coconut Head. Everyone is fair game, and I do mean everyone.
