Chapter 13
We walk back to my room in silence. None of us saying a word. I looked around the dark hallway and see small flickering lights behind closed doors. We finally reach my room. I pause for a second and open the door.
We walk in and Alice sits down on the bed and Mary sits next to her. I go to my drawer and take out some candles. I place then around the room and light them. I take a seat next to Alice and sigh.
"Jess," I look over at her. She's looking down at her hands. "Why didn't you say anything to her about all of this. She... may be she could of helped us stop him." I looked away from her upset.
"I'm not the only one with a mouth you know. You could've said something about it." Alice looks hurt at my comment. She looks away from me obviously upset with me. Mary looks at both of us and sighs.
"We shouldn't be fighting you two. We need to get back to helping the others out before Mr. Connor kills more of us." I look at Mary and then at Alice. I put my hand on my head, feeling a headache coming on.
"Look, I just don't want to be the only one trying to explain all of this. I'm stressed out enough with all of this crap and me being the only one trying to really tell people about it is stressful." I get up from the bed and look out the window. "I agree with Mary though, let's just get back to warning people." Alice nods her head and Mary gets the list.
"Okay the next person is Nick Park. I'll find his letter real quick." Mary goes over to the desk and starts looking for his letter.
"His name actually sounds as if it could be an actual park." Alice chuckles to herself and then stands up. "Alright let's give him the letter." Mary gives me the letter and then sits back down at the desk.
"I'm gonna stay here this time and sort out these letters." I nod and Alice opens the door and we walk out. We head down the hallway and turn left. Everything's quiet, but the wind blowing hard outside and the rain beating hard against the window, while the thunder and lightning outside threaten to tear the sky open.
We finally made it to the room and slid the letter under the door. We started walking back to my toom, but the door behind us opened. We looked back and watch Nick looking at us.
"Take this back, I don't want some love letter or whatever it is." He holds the letter put to us.
"I think you should read it before you toss it away. It might be important." He looks at Alice annoyed.
"Look I know what this is and I'm not going to read it. I'm trying to be nice about this. So you take it or I'll just throw it in the trash with the others." Alice puts her hand on her hip and glares at him.
"This isn't some dumbass love letter, asshat. Your gonna read it before I toss you in the trash." He smiles clearly enjoying this. God can he be anymore of a dick.
"Look this is really important, so just read the letter and if you find it stupid then just throw it away. Come on Alice." I turn around and start heading back to the room. Alice follows behind me clearly upset. "Don't let it get to you, let's just hope he reads it and gets the picture.
"I doubt it. He'll just think we're crazy if he reads it."
"Well if he has questions about it he'll come find us." Alice and I finally make it back to the room. I knock the secret knock on the door and Mary opens it for us. We walk in and sit down.
"So do you think he'll come or not?" Mary looks at us waiting.
"I don't think so, he was being an ass, thinking that we were giving him a love letter. Like anyone would do that."
"We'll see what happens, but right now we need to give the next letter out. I'm not sure how much longer we have left there's no telling when another student gonna die."
"Alright I got the next letter." Mary stands up and starts heading for the door.
"I'm gonna stay here this time. If Nick comes I'll tell him everything that's happening." I look and Alice and nod. We leave the room and head for the next person.
