Chapter 22
He smiles at us as he pumps the gun up and we flinch. He laughs some more. Then walks over to us. I start thinking of a way for us to get out of here. The auras coming off of everyone a dark red and I know that mine is too unless I do something about it before anything else happens.
"You all are the only ones left. I'll have fun killing each of you in your own special way." He stops a few feet away from us. Some of the students hold up there weapons and get ready to attack. I take out some of the letter openers that I have holding them behind back. We just stand there waiting for him to make a move, but he stands there for awhile and then smiles wider.
"You come here or you'll die right here." He points at one of the girls in front of Alice and Mary. She stands there for a second and walks forward. He smiles and pats her head. She looks down scared as he grabs her arm then she takes out a letter opener and hits his arm making him drop his gun and slaps her across the face as he pulls it out and kills her with it. I take this moment and push everyone to run around him while he distracted.
We run back down the hallway his footsteps close behind us. I look around and look at the others. I see the doors that lead outside and quickly open one up. It's hard to push, but they all help me as we quickly get out and close the door on Mr. Connor's face as he holds the gun up and shoots. We quickly drop to the ground trying to avoid the bullets, but two of the girls get hit and fall to the ground next to each other. I quickly get up with the other five that's left and we try running through the storm and into the woods close by.
Mr. Connor runs after us dropping the gun because of the rain and holds the bat he has tightly. I continue running not looking back. The water slowing us down and making us cold and wet as we finally make it to the woods. The rain isn't that bad in the woods with all the trees around covering us a bit, but the lightning is more dangerous now as it strikes the ground far away from us.
We all look for a place to hide from Mr. Connor and I see a pile of logs that some of us could hide behind. Two of the students hide there and some hides in a tree a bit more away. Then Alice, Mary, and I hide behind some rock far away from them.
I look up and see Mr. Connor, his face fulled with rage as he looks around for us. I see him look around before he decides to look behind things around him. He gets close to the two who hid behind the logs and one of them starts to move and gets up to attack him instead of hiding. The other one decides to get up with him and they take out the letter openers and get him in the stomach before he swings the bat and hits one of them in the head killing him.
The other one goes to attack him again and gets one of his eyes. Mr. Connor screams and drops the bat. The student takes out another one and puts it in Mr. Connor's back. The student gets cocky and goes to get him again, but Mr. Connor pulls the student down and kills the students behind the logs. I put my head back down once he gets up and looks around with his good eye for the rest of us.
We stay hidden as he walks around picking up the bat and moving over towards us and the other student. They stay still in the tree trying to stay quiet while he passes. The student sighs when Mr. Connor doesn't look up and sits back in the tree letting their legs hang down, but it was a bad move.
Mr. Connor hears it and reaches up to grab the leg and pulls the student down then beats them with the bat. The sound of the bat hitting the student makes me sick and then Alice grabs my arm and I look up at her. She points at the gym not to far from the woods and I nod understanding what she wants to do.
We start moving out of the woods trying our best to make sure he doesn't see and run for it. We head out of the woods and out to the open parking lot making me wish that I had my keys on me so we could just drive out of here. I look back to see if he saw us, but I don't see any sign of him and look ahead again and open the gym door with Alice and Mary.
We walk inside our shoes making noise on the floor as we head back to one of the locker rooms. We grab a few towels and start drying ourselves off with them. I sit down on the bench and try to catch my breath from all the running. I close my eyes and lay down on the bench while Alice and Mary put on some of the track suits on to keep dry. Once they're done I start taking my clothes off and change as well then sit back down.
We sit down and close our eyes for a bit. I hope that Mr. Connor believes that we're in the woods with the others and doesn't come here. I stay wake so Alice and Mary can sleep for a while. I listen out for anyone who tries to come in, but so far no one has. I sit down by the locker room door so I could watch the gym doors in case he comes in. A few minutes pass and no one has come in, so I get up and go to the girls. I see Alice still there, but Mary is gone. So I shake Alice and she wakes up.
"Hey where Mary?" Alice looks around.
"I think she said that she was going to the bathroom to take a shower real quick. I can go check to see if she almost done." I nod and smile.
"I'll continue looking out for Mr. Connor while you do that." She nods and gets up heading to the back towards the bathroom area and walks in to see. I head back over to the locker room door and look at the door. Then it dawns on me and I start to think. Wait doesn't the gym also have a back as well? I get up to check the bathroom myself and open the door. My eyes widen and I cover my mouth. Tears come down my face as he looks my way. Both Alice and Mary on the floor dead as he starts walking towards me.
I quickly get a hold of myself and run towards the front door of the gym and push it open with all my strength. I run back into the woods hearing him not too far behind me, lightning strikes the ground not to far away from me blinding me a bit and causing me to trip on something and head my head on a rock nearby. I feel like blacking out as I start to crawl away and get up. I feel him close by and soon he grabs me and turns me over looking me in the eyes then smiles before I black out.
