Chapter 5: Outrage, Accusations and Unanswered Questions
Will stood rooted to the spot, unable to move as he stared at the lifeless body of the woman he loved. Tears refused to stop falling from his eyes and he looked broken. He allowed himself to fall next to her and he wrapped her up in his arms, praying this was a nightmare, praying he would wake up and everything would be okay. He shouldn't have bought her here. If he had invited any other teacher along, Emma would still be fine. But he invited her and now she was dead.
Will's students looked on as he broke down. They didn't know what to do. They didn't know what they could do. Mike was still missing and Miss Pilsbury was dead. And no one knew what had happened. None of it made sense. Who would kill Miss Pilsbury? She was harmless and caring. Sam? He had done nothing wrong as far as anyone was aware. He was just a driver. And Mike? What's happened to Mike?
There was one question running through everyone's mind. Who? Tim and Sophie had told them that there had been no visitors to the house in over two months. There was no one there except them. Two murders and fifteen suspects. They could trust nobody. Whoever this was, they had to be stopped.
The kids walked away, giving Will some time alone.
"So who do you think it was?" Matt, Puck and Finn had headed back into the forest to look for Mike.
"Well, Quinn was the one that found her. Who's to say she didn't kill her?" questioned Matt.
Finn defended his ex- girlfriend. "No way. She couldn't do that. She may seem like a bit of a bitch but it's an act. She's harmless. What about Mike? He's been missing all day."
"No. Mike would never do that. The only reason he's been missing is because of you Finn. You upset him. Don't you dare go blaming him" Matt growled angrily, before storming off.
Puck glared at his ex- best friend "Nice one Finn. But Mike wasn't the only one missing when Miss P was killed was he? Where were you? "
"Are you blaming me? You think I would kill her?"
"I don't know what to think Finn." Puck turned to walk away.
Finn put his hand on Puck's shoulder. "I didn't do it. I wouldn't do it"
Puck grabbed Finn's hand and pulled it away from his shoulder and walked off to catch up with Matt.
Mercedes and Kurt were sitting in Kurt and Artie's room. "Cedes, I'm scared. Miss Pilsbury and Sam are dead. Who's to say one of us isn't next?"
Mercedes gave her friend a sympathetic look "Don't worry Kurt. I'm sure that after whats happened we won't be staying here long. Someone will come and take us home. We will all be fine." She was trying to convince herself as well as Kurt. What if everything wasn't okay? What if Kurt was right, what if they weren't going to be okay?
Tina had found Artie sitting by the lake reading a book. He looked up.
"Hey Tina, what's up? What's happened" he asked as Tina fell into his arms. He sat and listened quietly as Tina told him everything. What she said shocked him and he pulled her closer into his arms.
"Where were you Artie? You've been missing all day. People might think that it was you."
Artie looked up, a look of hurt flashed across his face. "Kurt was unpacking and I didn't want to stay there. I wanted him to let him get on with it so I came out here to read. I've been here the whole time." He paused and reached his hand up to stroke her cheek. "You don't think it was me do you?" he questioned.
She looked down at him and shook her head. "No, but I don't want anyone blaming you and I'm scared they will. I don't want you to get hurt." She bent down and pressed a kiss against his lips.
"Don't worry about me. I'll be fine"
Santana and Brittany sat on Brittany's bed. Santana tried to comfort her best friend. She was already shook up by the scream but when Rachel had come and told them what had happened Brittany had not stopped crying.
"San, me and you, we're going to be okay right?"
"Of course, we're going to stay in this room and make sure no one comes in." Santana replied.
Brittany sent her a small smile. "But I don't want to stay in here too long. I want to make sure everyone else is okay. I want to see Mike and Kurt and Finn and everyone."
Santana returned the smile. She was going to look after Brittany. She couldn't lose her.
Will finally tore himself away from Emma. He didn't know what to do with himself but he knew he couldn't stay with Emma any more. It hurt too much. He picked up her body and carried it back to the house. He decided it was best to leave her on the bed in her room. As he approached the room he found a note pinned to the door.
"The wheels on the bus go round and round
round and round, round and round
the wheels on the bus go round and round
all day long"
He ripped it off the door, scrunched it up and threw it to the ground. This was a sick joke that had gone too far now. It needed to stop.
