Chapter 4: Lost and found

Everyone hurried in the direction of the scream, worried about what they might find. As the group met up it came to their realization that half of them were missing and that made them even more nervous. Mike, Quinn, Santana, Brittany, Emma, Artie and Finn were all nowhere to be seen. Will and Rachel went to check the rooms, Matt and Puck went into the forest and Mercedes, Tina and Kurt looked around the land just outside the house.

After about 10 minutes of looking, Puck and Matt found Finn, pacing around, cursing under his breath.

"Finn, what's going on? Did you hear the screaming? What are you doing out here?" Matt demanded.

"I was looking for Mike. I think I upset him earlier. He ran off and I wanted to find him to apologize. Then I heard screaming. It was Quinn. I'd recognize her voice anywhere." Finn mumbled.

Puck interrupted, "Talking can wait until later. We need to find everyone first."

Finn gave Puck a confused look, "Everyone? Who else is missing?" he questioned.

"Santana, Brittany, Artie and Miss P. Plus no one's found Quinn or Mike yet." Matt looked down, a saddened expression appeared across his face as he thought about his missing best friend.

Rachel and Will made their way down the corridor, knocking on every door in the hope of finding the missing people. As they approached Brittany and Santana's room they heard a voice. It was Santana.

"Brittany. Please come out. The screaming has stopped. Please Brittany. I'm going to look after you." Santana pleaded. Will knocked on the door.

"Santana. It's Mr Schue. Are you okay in there?"

"Umm...We're fine. What's going on? What was the screaming?"

Will took a deep breath before answering "We don't know. Some of the kids are missing and so is Miss Pilsbury. We are trying to find everyone now."

Santana sounded concerned "Did you need any help looking? It's just that Brittany's a bit upset. The screaming shook her up a bit. She's locked herself in the bathroom. If it's okay I think it's a good idea for me to stay here and try to make her feel better."

Will and Rachel both smiled at the new, kinder side of Santana they were seeing "It's fine Santana. Brittany needs you. We'll come back to you when we find out anything."

They carried on down the corridor until they had checked every room and then headed back outside.

Mercedes, Kurt and Tina headed towards where the bus was parked. They heard sobbing and knew they had found the source of the screams.

Quinn Fabray lay on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably. She heard footsteps approaching her but didn't look up.

Her words came out as barely more than a whisper "She's, she's dead."

Unable to continue Quinn pointed in the direction of the bus. Mercedes sat down next to Quinn and pulled her into a hug while Tina and Kurt followed the direction of Quinn's finger.

A lifeless body was sprawled by the wheel of the bus, surrounded by glass from the front window. As they took in the scene before them tears started rolling down Tina's eyes. Kurt had gone very pale and looked ill.

"Ummm... we, we nnneed to ffind Mr Schuester." He stuttered.

Mercedes looked at the girl breaking down in her arms and sighed. "Quinn, what's happened?"

Quinn looked up, her puffy red eyes met Mercedes' as she stammered, "I was in my room and I needed some pain relief. I felt sick, the baby was making me sick" She took a deep breath and continued "Miss P, she had my medication so I went to her room to get it."

The girl struggled to continue, but Mercedes grabbed her hand and encouraged her to carry on. "She wasn't there and I was desperate. I felt really ill. I looked around the house and I couldn't find her. So I went to look outside." As she spoke tears trickled down her cheek. "I couldn't find her. I was going to go back inside but then I heard the minibus, moving. But Mr Schue said it was staying here. And the driver was staying here so I didn't know why it would be moving."

Mercedes knew that what she was about to hear was not good. She braced herself, knowing she had to stay strong for Quinn.

Kurt ran towards the two girls, his eyes swollen from crying. "Miss Pilsbury's dead. Shes dead. I need to find Mr Schue"

Mercedes gasped and shook her head. "No, she can't be. She was fine. Shes not dead. She can't be"

Quinn nodded solemnly "I found her. She was lying by the wheel of the bus. She'd been run over"

Mercedes looked horrified but managed to say "Who did it?"

Kurt took a moment to compose himself before saying "The bus driver Sam, he was in the bus, in the driving seat, looked like he was driving. I went to confront him, ask him what the hell was going on. But as I got closer I saw he wasn't blinking. He wasn't breathing. He had been stabbed in the back. Sam's dead as well."

A/N: Maybe it's a bit early but who do you think the killer is? Please review...and also just incase there is confusion the bus driver is not Sam (Evans) but just a name I had already written into the story before I knew about Sam Evans' character :)
