III
The remaining nine traveled back into the band room, choosing to leave the two bodies where they were. When they were all seated in a circle, Marleen began to talk.
"Alright… Tristan and Bryce are both… dead… so, now it's down to, who did it?"
"Well, it had to be someone with motive, opportunity, and means…" Rachael said.
"What do those mean?" Brandon asked. Josh sighed and said,
"Someone had to want them dead, be able to separate themselves from us, and they'd have to be able to do it."
"Well Tristan was the weakest, so of course he was easy to pick off, and then Bryce was on his knees with his head pretty much already in the toilet, so there was easy opportunity right there," Stacy concluded, her arms crossed, staring at the others.
"But why would any of us want to kill them?" Robert asked.
"Well, which one of us wanted them gone?" Stacy asked, looking at Robert.
"Well no one liked Bryce, but all of us were fine with Tristan, right?" Matt asked, seconds later.
"Guys… what if we're looking for someone completely different?" Marleen asked, about a minute later.
"What do you mean?"
"Who would want to kill us?"
"I don't know, a psycho, escaped murderer?" Marleen replied.
"So, saying it's not any of us, what are we going to do about it?" Stacy asked.
"Well, we should stay in a group, stay in the band room, and arm ourselves," Josh concluded.
"Arm ourselves with what?" Rachael asked.
"Whatever we can… and we just have to hope that this killer is just using whatever he finds too…"
So they gathered what all materials they could that can be used as a weapon. Sticks, a hammer, screwdrivers, and miscellaneous tools/objects.
"Hey, I'm going to the bathroom," Matt announced. As everyone shouted at him, he put up his hands defensively and said, "Hey, hey, it's right in this hallway, I'll take the hammer, and if it'll make you happy, Marleen, will come with me and guard the hallway for me."
"Fine," Marleen said, and they walked out into the dark, empty hallway. As Matt used the bathroom, Marleen's eyes darted up and down the hallway. The bathroom door opened and Matt walked out drinking out of glass bottle.
"Did you find that IN the bathroom?" Marleen asked, laughing.
"No, I brought it with me, want some?" He asked with a wink.
"Ah, no. I don't drink suspicious liquids that you find in bathrooms."
"So, Marleen, who do you think the killer is?" Matt asked, changing the topic.
"I seriously doubt it's one of us… but I really have no clue. It's just really confusing and slightly terrifying…" She said, getting goose bumps on her arm.
'Well, don't worry. I'd kill the psycho before he even looked at you!" Matt announced, puffing his chest out proudly.
"Ha, thanks Matt, I'll remember that," she said, chuckling, then turned around. "Let's get back to the others Ma-" The sound of glass shattering interrupted her.
The group was alerted to the sound of Marleen screaming. They all rushed into the hallway to see her on the floor screaming something at Matt while he laid head on the floor, a pool of blood circling around him.
'What the h*ll happened?!"
"W-We weren't paying attention, the killer snuck up on him!" Marleen kept crying and screaming. "I-I just turned around and he had blood coming from his head
a-and he just fell, now he's DEAD!!"
"Calm down.. Did you see the killer?" Stacy asked.
"It was someone in a black hoodie, and black pants… I didn't his face, but he did run that way," she pointed up into the dark hallway that led to the auditorium lobby. The only source of light was coming from the band room.
"Hey guys…" Raisa said, looking around. "Where's Brandon?"
Long awaited Chapter 3. Things boil down as more die and suspicions rise! Who's the killer? Your guess is as good as anyone elses.
