"And that was just the start. His mother found dead dog's carcasses all over the tool room. I don't know..what happened after that.", Nancy said.
" I think this is a little far..fetched.", Emanuel said.
"I can only say one thing-", Steve said, "I agree with Amy on 'bad things happen in Riberwood.'"
It really does. Amy thought.
"Why do you say that?", Terry asked.
"Think about it.", Amy started, "this kid killed his stepdad. Where? Here in Riberwood. Those murders back 17 years ago, I guess. And also, the murders back in Riberwood. And most recently that girl, Casey's murder."
"Cathy.", Idax said, "It was Cathy."
"I think, you guys are being crazy. Really. That stuff happened 20 years ago.", Sid said.
"Actually, not 20 years. It was more than that. Do the math.", Nancy said.
"Look at me. Do you think I know math. I really didn't think I would graduate.", Sid said.
"Well, I also thought that.", Cassie said.
"Why would you think that? You are good at studies.", Sid said.
"I wasn't talking about me. I was talking about you. I didn't think you would have graduated.", Cassie replied.
Everyone laughed.
Burn. Amy laughed.
"I am feeling sleepy.", Trisha said, "Sid, let's go."
Where am I gonna sleep? Amy thought.
"Amy, you and Nancy find a room and you can go sleep there.", Steve said.
Thank god. Amy felt relieved.

What time is it? Kiara woke up. She looked at her phone. 3 freaking 30. Kiara looked beside her. Emanuel was sleeping soundly. I am feeling thirsty. Kiara got up and looked for the water bottle. She drank some water from it.
What was that? I am sure, I heard something. Someone's outside.
Kiara slowly walked outside. It's coming from that room. Kiara walked towards a room. It was half closed. She peeked through the opened part.
Her eyes widened as she saw a man with his back faced to the door, sharping a butcher knife. Kiara gasped. Shit. Kiara gasped again. A little sound coming from her mouth. The man turned back but Kiara swooped beside and hid.
Footsteps. Approaching the door. Kiara closed her mouth with her hand.
The footsteps faded. Kiara looked again and the man was back sharping his tools.
Kiara ran back to the room.
"Em. Em. Wake up.", Kiara said, as she shook Emanuel.
"Wh-what?", Em said, half asleep.
"There's a-a-ma-man!", Kiara said, breathing heavily, "he- was sharping a knife."
