| SCHOOL DAY 2001 |
Simone had used the bathroom and walked back out. Man, these hallways are dark! She thought to herself. She heard a clttering sound. "Hello?" no answer. Then she saw a shadow move. "Hello?" still no answer. She had started walking down the hall. She thought she heard a whisper. "Who's there? Drew, this isn't funny!" she continued to walk. She passed by another hallway, going straight. She heard a noise behind her and turned. No one there. Drew is so going to get it! She turned back around and looked carefully. She could see the gym doors. She started to get scarred and ran to them. She pulled on the door but it was locked. "Damn." she turned and Grim reaper was standing behind her. "Drew, you are so dead." Grim reaper raised his scythe. "What are you doing?" he brought it down and slashed Simone's chest. "Ahhhhh!" she screamed. She put her hands over her chest and felt something warm and slimy. She started to cry and pulled her hands away. "Please. No." she cried. Grim reaper held the scythe sideways and swung, digging it into Simone's stomach, blood leaking out. "Allison!" Mr. Cornish, her Career and Life Manegment teacher yelled. Allison looked up from School Day. A story made by her friend Jeff. "Yes?" "Pay attention." Allison was in grade 10, going to be repeating. Jeff sat dianagonal from her. He turned around. And saw Allison looking back down at the story. He turned back in his seat before Mr. Cornish could do anything. Once the bell rang, Jeff walked out of the class, down the hall, around the corner, and to his locker. Unlike in his story, his school was a small, one floor, school called Wainwright High School. (WHS) he got his jacket, bookbag, and instrument and walked down the halls to his Band room. He tried the doors, but they were locked. He waited by them as Dan Layton, a tall person that didn't talk very much but was good at sports, walked over and asked if the doors were opened. "Not yet." Jeff responded. Then after half the class got there, Mr. Weenick, the band teacher who was basically a big kid when he wasn't yelling. He opened the door and the students piled in. "Are we playing today?" one of them asked. "Of course." Mr. Weenick answered. "No get your instruments out." After that, Jeff walked to his computers class, where he met Curtis Coates, the Curtis in his first School Day story. He sat next to Jeff. Allison came in late with her friend, Karyn Lee. Karyn was sorta tall with glasses and blond hair. Both her and Allison smoked and got drunk every Friday night Mark from the story came in and sat behind Curtis. "This is so easy." said his funny little voice. Mrs. Taylor, the computer's teacher, spoke up. "What we will be learning to do today is make web pages with FrontPage." In another class, Industrial Arts, Danny from the story was fooling around on the computers, listening to Korn music. Dillon was in the wood working shop, making a project. In French, Drew and Jimmy from the story were sitting, listening to their french teacher speak. Mr. Hoveland, who Mr. Oldman was based upon, was teaching a social studies class. Mrs. Grunow, who Mrs. Kurnap was based upon was teaching a science class. Mr. Codarre, who Mr. Victor was based upon, was sitting in his office, talking to a student and his mother. Simone, Jen, and Mike had moved away over the summer. Brad was off skipping school with Alia. The bell rang to end the day and tons of students including the ones mentioned above piled out of their class rooms and out of the school. Jeff met his friend Len, who was a bit taller then him and they went out to the bus. They got on and sat near the front, where as Drew, jimmy and their friends sat in the back. "Mr. Grosky is so mean!" Len complained as always. "What did he do this time?" Jeff asked. "We were in careers, right? And me and Calvin were talking about exams..." Allison, her sister Savanna, and her friend Karyn were walking down a sidewalk, on their way to Allison and Savanna's house. "I was on the chat today," Allison told them. "And I was chatting with this guy that gave me his e-mail address, , but I didn't have a pen, so I asked Jeff and he flicked one over, but I missed it so I ordered him to get it and so now he's my slave again." "That's cool. I wish I had a slave." Karyn said. "Are we going to skip school tomorrow?" Savanna asked. "Yep." Allison answered. Brad was walking home when he saw a figure move quickly around a tree. He shrugged it off and continued walking down the small town streets. Jeff got home and went on the net. When he got off, he went up to his room and turned his light on. He sat at his desk with a pencil and paper. After about an hour, he called Curtis. "Hello?" it was Curtis's father. "Is Curtis there?" Jeff asked. "Hang on." a minute later Curtis was there. "Hello?" "Hi. I just had a wonderful idea." "What?" "Well I think I might make a movie!" "Oh no. Of what?" "My hit series, School Day!" "Oh, can I be in it?" "Yeah. I'm trying to get all the people to play themselves except for the ones that moved away. The new Mike can play Mike, though." "Sounds like fun. Have you got the script done up, yet?" "I'm gonna start it tonight." "Cool. Talk to ya tomorrow." they hung up. The next day, Mike, who had a mohawk, was talking to Ray, a black guy. "Are you doing gym today?" Mike asked as him and Ray walked around the halls in the school, Ray putting black marks on the floor on purpose. "Yeah, I always do." "Cool. We're doing basketball." as they walked around a corner, Jimmy, Drew, and their new friend, Stephanie. "Where's Josh today?" Stephanie asked. "I don't know." Jimmy answered. Ray and Mike walked past Jimmy, Drew, and Steph. Jeff and Len were sitting at a couple tables. "I had a really good idea last night!" Jeff exclaimed. "What was it?" "I could make a School Day movie!" "Yes." Len said sarcastically. "I need to find actors and finish the script. Hey, you wanna act in it." "Ok." "Who can you be?" Jeff asked himself. "I know! You can be the teacher-Mr. Oldman." "Is he the one that got his head chopped off?" Len asked. "Yep." then Curtis came over with Mark.(who was much more annoying in real life.) "Hey guess what!" Mark said with his nerdy voice. "We don't care, Mark!" Len said it slowly and loud. "I got a new patch for my Star Trek game..." Curtis began laughing as Jeff and Len yelled at Mark saying they didn't care again. "...and now, my ship goes really fast!" "Mark!" Jeff yelled. "Shut up!" and lightly hit him across the head. "By the way, you wanna play yourself in my School Day Movie?" "Sure. Can I use a really fast computer as a prop?" "Whatever." Jeff mumbled. Dillon walked over. "I heard you were making a school day movie." "Yep. You wanna be in it?" "Ok." Dillon walked away with a little smile. Allison was with Karyn. They were out in the smoking area, smoking. Jeff came running out. "Hey Allison. You wanna act as yourself in my School Day movie?" "Sure, yeah." Allison said, smiling. "Can Karyn act in it too?" "I guess so." "Ok. We'll do it." Jeff walked back inside. Danny and Brad had the same class next and were fooling around as usual. Curtis was also in that class and walked over to them. "Jeff wants to know if you guys want to act in his School Day movie." "No!" Danny shot back. "I aint doing anything with that loser." "Brad?" "No. Don't have the time." "Ok." Jimmy, Drew, Steph, Mark, and Jeff were in Social Studies and were reviewing for an exam in two days. (The math one is tomorrow) "I should get the script done in a couple of days." Jeff explained to Drew, Jimmy, and Stephanie. "Who can I play?" Stephanie asked. "I don't know yet." "Ok." Once Gym class came around, Jeff was sitting next to Ray and Mike on the benches, waiting for the gym teacher to come. "So you'll do it?" "Yeah." After school, Jeff went home on the bus, sitting across from Len as usual. When he got home, he studied Math for an hour then went down on his computer and worked on the movie script: GRIM REAPER There are no others to save you up here! Grim reaper opened his suit a little bit and pulled his scythe out. Mr. Oldman back up, bit tripped on the stairs going up and fell onto them. When he tried to stand, Grim reaper swung the scythe and chopped the teachers head off, the light falling to the floor. Grim reaper raised his scythe and wiped the blood off of the blade with his gloved hand. Jeff finished the scene and was called upstairs by his mother. "What?" he asked. "Phone." she answered. "Ok." Jeff went up to his room and picked up his phone. "Hello?" "Hello." it was a scratchy voice. "How are you today?" "Who is this?" then there was laughter on the other end of the phone and Jeff got really mad. "Drew! What do you want?" "When are we going to start filming and organising. Tomorrow after the exam since we got the rest of the day off." "Cool. Well, see ya then." then he hung up. Jeff went downstairs to finish the script. The next day was the math Exam. Jeff biked to school and waited for everyone. Once Len got there, he walked around the school with him. "We're going to start getting organized today." Jeff said. "Be sure to tell everyone that." "Sure." they walked and came across Savanna. "Savanna," Jeff said. "Tell Allison and Karyn that we're working on the movie today, after the exam." "Alright. Where to?" "We'll meet behind the school for today." "Ok." and Savanna walked away. Jeff said bye to Len and went to his locker. As he got to it, Allison walked over. "Wait!" she yelled before he closed his locker. "I need a pencil." Jeff passed her one. "It's not sharpened." Jeff gave her a pencil sharpener, locked his locker, and walked to the exam room. He found his table and sat down and began to write it. Outside, Danny and Brad were skipping the exam. They were out on the back trails behind the houses, no one in site. "Give me some!" Brad yelled at Danny. Danny gave Brad some pot and then began to smoke up. Suddenly, they heard a noise and turned. A man wearing a Grim Reaper costume was standing there. The hood went down as far as the chin. "Oh come on, Dillon." Danny said. "Nice try, but you can't talk us into acting in Jeff's movie." Grim Reaper shook his head. "What do you want then?" Brad asked. Grim Reaper reached in his cloak and pulled out a scythe. "Death." said the Grim Reaper, his voice muffled so you couldn't tell if it was male or female. "Ha ha ha!" Danny closed his eyes and began to laugh really hard. Brad saw that the blade was real. "Ah, Danny?" Grim Reaper swung the scythe, digging it into Danny's fat stomach. His eyes shot open and he stopped laughing right away. He tried to speak, but blood blocked his throat. The scythe was pulled out and Danny fell to the ground. "Help!" Brad screamed and turned and ran. He ran down the back allys, the killer walking fast after him, the scythe held sideways in both hands. Brad turned a corner and looked behind him and saw the killer not far behind. He turned and ran out onto the sidewalk of Main Street. He breathed a sigh of relief as he saw all the cars drive up and down the road. He looked back in the ally, but Grim reaper wasn't there anymore. "I have to get the cops." Brad said to himself and ran to the station. Back in School, Jeff was waiting behind the school for people to finish up. Dillon was the first there. Soon, everyone else was too. "Alright. This is how I did up the characters. Jimmy, Drew, Allison, Savanna, Curtis, Mark, Dillon, and Me all play ourselves. Stephanie, you play Simmon. Mike, you're the old Mike. Ray-Danny. Len-Brad..." "I don't want to be Brad." "Tough luck. You are. Karyn-Jen, and we'll get more people to be the three teachers." "Sounds good to me." Mike said. Dillon asked, "when do we start filming?" "Soon." Jeff answered. "First, here's the script. He passed it around to everyone. "It's short." Karyn stated. "It's not going to be a Hollywood movie!" Jeff shot back. "Learn you're lines. You don't have to learn them all at once like a play. We're doing one section at a time." "Question." Drew said. "If we aren't in a scene, do we still have to be here when we go over that scene?" "Yes. Unless it's after the scene where you die." "That sounds nice." Leb whispered to Curtis who laughed. "Yeah, sure. We come everyday until we die." Then Len spoke louder. "Do you mean until we die in real life or the movie?" Jeff was about to answer when Dillon cut in. "Take you're pick." he smiled and Len looked scared. Then he was back to normal remembering that Dillon loves to get into character. "So, we'll meet back here, after our exam tomorrow." "Ok." Mike said. They all left either alone like Mark or in groups like Drew, Jimmy, and Stephanie. Brad was escorting two cops to where Danny was killed. "Why weren't you in school?" one of the cops asked. "I told you!" Brad yelled as he walked. "I skipped!" When they got there, there was no body and no blood. "I don't understand..." Brad started then he turned to the cops. "He must of moved the body." "Who?" "The killer. I think it was a kid named Dillon Lavergn." "You mean this?" the other cop picked up the remains of Brad and Danny's dope. "No. There really was a murder here." "Sure. Get back to school and no more pranks." the cops turn and leave. Brad starts swearing as he walks in the other direction. He walks across the lawn of a church and looks straight ahead and stops. Grim Reaper was standing at the other end, his scythe standing up straight in one hand. The killer pointed to him and then lowered his hand. "No!" Brad turned and ran, Grim reaper walking fast after him. Brad turned the corner and ran for the children's playground that was close. He reached it and ran up the ladder. Grim Reaper walked up after him. Brad walked across the moving bridge and when Grim reaper got to it, Brad put his foot on It and moved it, causing the logs on the bridge to swing back and forth, making It hard to stand. Grim reaper fell down and Brad turned and jumped down the tunnel slide. He turned sideways and stuck his feet out so he stopped half way down. He was breathing hard, but tried to be quiet. After five minutes, he let his feet go and slid down the slide. When he got close to the bottom, the killer appeared and stuck the scythe up. Brad didn't have enough time to stop and so got impaled on the blade, blood spraying all over the inside of the slide. Later that night, Jeff was at home. He had just called his principal and he agreed to let them film the movie inside the school after hours if they wanted to. Jeff had just hung up and walked downstairs to the kitchen. He got some supper and eat. The next day was the social exam. When Jeff got to School, Len was already waiting with Curtis and Mark. "I'm going to turn this school into a level for computer game." Mark asked. "I'd like to see that Happen." Curtis said once Jeff and Len started laughing then Curtis joined. Mark turned away and walked down the hall. Then Allison and Karyn walked by them. "Allison! Karyn!" Jeff said as they walked by. "What?" Karyn asked. "We can use the school after hours to work on the movie!" "Cool!" Allison and Karyn said then walked away. Steph was sitting on the bench's outside the gym with other people, waiting for the doors to open so she could go in and right her exam. She wasn't too happy to be playing the second person that dies in the movie, but it was ok she guessed. One of her friends came over. "I heard you're in Jeff's movie." "Yeah. I'm playing a girl called Simmon." Jeff walked over and sat down with the rest of the people. He took out his pen and began to write. Ray didn't have an exam that day so he was with Mike, walking around town. They turned around when they heard someone behind them, and saw the edge of a cloak go around the corner. "Just some bum." Ray said then laughed. "It might be someone trying to scare us!" Mike suggested. "Let's go talk to him." So the three of them turned around and walked down the back ally, looking for the person they saw just minutes before. After the exam, everyone met behind the school. "Everyone here?" Jeff asked. Everyone looked around. "Ray, Mike, and Dillon's not." Curtis spoke up. "That's alright. They're not needed yet. Who has the camera?" Jimmy walked forward with it. "I do." "Alright. Curtis, you're with me out in front of the school. Who's going to be working the camera?" "I will." Len suggested. "Alright." Then Dillon ran up. "Hey." "Hi." Jeff said. "You can go with the rest of the people behind the school." so Dillon went there. Soon, Len, Curtis, and Jeff were out in front of the school. "Remember you're lines?" Jeff asked. "Yep." Curtis answered. "Good. Let's begin." "What about the credits?" Len asked. "We do different scenes at different times and put them in order on the accutal tape." "Ok. Action." Jeff and Curtis were walking up to the school, some students walking in and out, giving it the effect it needs. They began. Behind the school, Ray and Mike ran up. "Sorry we're late." Ray said. "Jeff, Len, and Curtis are out front shooting the first scene." Karyn informed them. Allison and Savanna walked over to Mark and started bugging him about his voice. Steph, Drew, and Jimmy were talking about their parts. Dillon was just standing around. By the end of the day, they had the intro scene, where Jeff gets chased by ‘Jen' and Dillon, and Savanna and ‘Simmon's' death scenes done. As they were walking away, Jimmy and Drew caught up to Jeff as he was riding his bike. "Why are we not doing the scenes in order?" Drew asked. "Because some people won't be able to make it later and that's how real movies work." "Ok." Jimmy said. "We'll walk home with ya." (They also lived on the same street as Jeff and Len) Later that night, Len was in at Jeff's house and they were watching what was taped. It wouldn't have made it in Hollywood, lets just say that. "What was that?" Jeff asked. Len rewinded it alittle and watched it again. In the scene where Simmon dies that Stephanie was playing, you could see someone dressed as Grim Reaper off to one side, and duck back in the bathroom. "It was just Dillon." Len said casually. "No, it wasn't. Look." Jeff said. No more then 30 secs later, the Grim Reaper that Dillon was supposed to be Is in the dark at the end of the hallway. Len and Jeff look at each other. "Freaky." Len said. Then for no reason, the lights go out in the house, plunging them into darkness. They both jump and scream. "No need to worry." Jeff's dad called down from upstairs. "The power went out all over the street. Blizzard you know." Jeff and Len sigh the next day, the blizzard had stopped, leaving 2 metres of snow. The phone rings at Allison's house just as she looks out and see's the snow. "Hello?" "Hi." said a distorted voice. "Who is this?" Allison asked. "It's Jeff. I heard school was cancelled." "Yeah." "This would be a great time to work on the movie, I want you to call up Karyn, Ray, Mike, and Dillon and tell them." "In this?" "Yeah." Allison thought for a moment. "Yeah. Sure." At Jeff's house, the phone rang. "Hello?" "Hey." it was the same distorted voice from Allison's phone. "Who is this?" "It's Dillon. I was just thinking that this would be a great time to work on the movie." "I don't know..." "Come on. It'll be fun!" "Ok, fine." "Good. I'll call Allison, Karyn, Ray, and Mike, and you call everyone else and we can meet in front of the school and wait for you to come with the keys." "Ok." Jeff agreed. He hung up and breathed out. Outside the school, everyone was gathered around, having a snow ball fight. Four people were missing-Jeff, Dillon, Savanna, and Stephanie. "Where's Savanna?" Mark asked Allison. "At home, she's coming in a minute. We just live down the street." At Allison and Savanna's house, Savanna stepped out of the shower, a towel wrapped around her, her hair dripping wet. She walked across the floor and down the hall to her bedroom. She didn't notice that the door was slightly open, a tiny bit of snow blowing in the crack, or the wet shoe prints going across the floor. She got to her room and unwrapped the towel. She opened the drawer and put on some underwear, bra, jeans, and tea-shirt. She turned around when she heard footsteps upstairs. "Hello?" she called out. No answer. She walked up the stairs and turned the corner and walked down the hall, carefully. She heard the boards creak in her sisters room so she went into her room and grabbed a baseball bat from under her bed and went back out into the hall. She went to Allison's room and looked around. She looked under the bed and in the closet, but no one was around. She began to think she was going crazy when she heard something fall and break downstairs. She jumped and gripped the bat harder as she walked down the stairs. When she got to the bottom, she slipped on a wet shoe print and fell, banging her head off the stairs and being knocked out cold. Jeff had arrived and let everyone who was there, in the school. "The first scene we're doing today is the library scene." Jeff said. "Where's Dillon. He needs to get in his costume." "He's not here yet."Karyn informed him. "Well he better get here soon. If he doesn't, we'll have to shoot a scene that doesn't have him in it." "Which one?" Mark asked. "The one where I talk about Starcraft in the cafeteria?" "No." Jeff sighed. "Probily a few of the ones where different groups are walking around, looking for other people." Savanna woke up and she was on a wooden floor. Once she got up and looked around, she realized that she was in a cabin. She walked out the doors and saw that she was surrounded by woods, bu the town could be seen in the distance. There where foot prints in the snow leading up and around the cabin. "Hello?" she called out. She heard her echo but that was it. She heard a crunching in the snow and whipped around. Coming at her from out of the trees was Grim Reaper! "Help!" she screamed as she turned and did her best to run through the snow, having to go through high snow drifts here and there. Her breath could be seen because it was cold and she didn't have a coat on. As she ran, she turned to look behind. She saw the killer almost right behind her, his scythe drawn. She turned back, but hit a tree, slipped on some ice, and fell down, leaving her imprint in the snow. Savanna opened her eyes and was about to get up, when she was pushed back into the snow. She let out a grunt as she hit the snow again. Grim Reaper loomed over her and looked down at her. "Please no." Savanna pleaded. "I'll do anything. Anything!" the killer raised his scythe and brought it down, slashing her face, spraying blood into the snow and the nearby trees. Soon, more and more blood was flicked. Then a small stream of it ran down the snow. Back at the school, they just finished shooting one of the scenes. "Where the hell is Dillon, Savanna, and Stephanie?" Jeff yelled. We can't do much more else without them." "Well maybe their snowed in." Ray suggested. "Maybe." Jeff admitted. "Well that's all we can do today. So you guys can go home and if there's no school tomorrow, meet me here at 1:00." Everyone agreed and went their own ways. Len, Jimmy, Drew, and Jeff walked back to their house together since they lived on the same street. "Wouldn't it be cool if there was a real killer?" Drew started conversation. "No!" Jimmy said back. "That'd suck!" "Guys!" Jeff said. "Can we please not talk about that?" "Sorry." They apologised and Len just smiled. And in Jeff's mind, he wondered where Len went during the break that day. The next day, school was cancelled again and Jeff was the first at the school. This time, he had called everyone up and said to meet at the elementary school for some of the stair scenes because the elementary school was bigger and had stairs then their school. He couldn't get through to Allison and Savanna's house because the phone line was down. Once everyone was there, Jeff walked over to Dillon and Stephanie. "where were you guys yesterday?" "I was snowed in." Steph said. Jeff looked at Dillon. "So was I." "Fine. Well at least you're here today and we can get more done." he looked around. "Where's Allison and Savanna?" "Not here yet!"Curtis answered from down the hall with Mark. "Well I kinda figured that out for myself." Jeff said back. Then the door opened and snow blew in. Allison walked in with tears in her eyes, two cops next to her. "What is this?" Jeff asked, walking up to them, everyone else gathering behind him. "Savanna was found murdered in the woods this morning." Allison told them. "Experts say she was killed by a scythe. Sounds pretty strange judging that we're making a movie about a killer with a scythe." One of the cops picked up. "And two other kids-Brad Turner and Daniel Martin were found dead in different spots in the town." Jeff had a little smile of confusion. "So you guys think it has to do with this movie?" The other cop spoke. "All kids were killed with the same murder weapon and residents say that they saw a kid dressed up as the grim reaper walking around town. Now at the same time, you kids are ATTEMPTING to make a horror movie about that kind of thing happening. You put it together." "Well when was Savanna killed yesterday?" Dillon asked. "They figure sometime in the afternoon." "That's impossible." Jeff defended them. "It couldn't have been one of us. We were all here yesterday. Well not here but at the other school." "Except Savanna." Allison reminded him. "Yeah." Jeff swallowed. "Except Savanna." then he remembered and looked at them. "And Stephanie and Dillon." "May we take them for questioning?" one of the cops asked. "No!" Jeff shouted. "And why? Scared we might find out something?" "No. But we barely got anything done yesterday because we need them for almost all of the scenes left." "Listen son, we're taking them and one of the movie scripts to see if we can place anything together." "Fine." he sighed. Jeff tossed the cops a copy of the script. "Read it fast, I need it back." he said evilly. "We will." said one of the cops, just as evilly. Mark and Curtis were walking around the elementary school, on the top floor, waiting for the cops to bring Dillon and Stephanie back. Outside, across the street, the police car with the two suspects in it pulled into a gas station both cops got out to get something from the store. Dillon smiled and Steph asked. "What?" Dillon opened the door next to him. "How'd you do that?" Steph asked. "Like this." Dillon held up some squished gun that kept the door from closing all the way. "If you leave, they'll suspect you more." "So." Dillon got out and left. Steph sighed and after he had crossed the street and headed back to the school, she followed. Back with most of the people, Karyn and Allison were talking to Jimmy. "Where's Jeff?" Mike asked, walking over. "I don't know." Jimmy answered. "Go ask Len." Mike looked around. "Where's he?" the other three that were with him, looked around. Curtis and Mark just left one of the bathrooms when they heard squeaky footprints on the floor. They followed the sound and went to the stair case at the end of the hall and looked down. "See anything?" Mark asked. "Yeah." Curtis backed up. Mark looked down and saw Grim Reaper look up at them, scythe out. "But only Dillon has the costume." Mark said, also backing up. "And he's gone for questioning." "Exactly!" Curtis said, turned and ran. Mark now knowing that what was now at the end of the hall was the real killer, also ran. "Faster!" Mark shouted. Curtis tripped and fell down. He looked behind and the killer was gone. Instead, Steph was walking up the stairs. "What's going on?" she asked. "You!" Curtis yelled, standing up. "You're the killer!" Steph started to laugh. "That's crazy! I've gotta use the bathroom." she walked into the girls washroom and Curtis and Mark waited. "I bet she is the killer." Curtis said. "In a few minutes, we'll walk in and then we'll know." Mark suggested. A few minutes passed by and Mark and Curtis looked at each other. "Lets go." Mark said. They walked into the bathroom and both almost threw up. Steph was laying on the floor, dead, blood streaming all over her body, a deep gash in her side. "She wasn't the killer!" Curtis shouted. Then a stall door opened and Grim Reaper walked out. "Ahhhhhh!" Mark screamed high pitched. The killer took out a hook from inside his cloak. "Run!" Curtis screamed. Before he could move anywhere, Grim Reaper lashed out with the hook and it went into Curtis's neck, blood going everywhere, including onto Mark. He brought the hook up through the head, slicing the head and neck in half, blood pouring to the floor. Mark turned and ran as the killer dropped the hook and raised his scythe. Downstairs, Ray, Mike, Allison, Jimmy, Drew, and Karyn were sitting on the floor, waiting for Jeff and Len to come back from where ever it is they disappeared to. Suddenly, Mark ran down the hall creaming, blood all over him. "The killer's here!" Mark screamed. "He just killed Curtis and Stephanie!" "Steph was taken by the police." Karyn said, standing up. "Well she's not now!" Then Dillon walked down the hall from the direction Mark just came from. "You're a dead man!" Jimmy jumped up and walked over to Dillon. He punched him and he went flying back. "Woah!" Drew and Mike grabbed Jimmy. Karyn and Ray helped Dillon up. Allison and Mark stood by themselves away from the rest. "Easy." Drew said. "We don't know he's the killer." "He came from the direction Mark did and there were a couple of people killed that way and then Dillon comes, who's the killer in the movie by the way." "Doesn't mean anything." Karyn shot back. Then Jeff and Len came from the other way. "Where'd you guys go?" Allison asked. "Went for a walk and discussed the movie." Len answered. "Nice to see you're out, Dillon." Jeff said. "Why si everyone except for Mark and Allison..." he saw the blood on Mark. "What happened?" Jeff asked. "Stephanie and Curtis were murdered upstairs!" Mark shouted. "What?" Jeff and Len were shocked. "And then," Jimmy continued for Mark. "Dillon came from the same direction." "So?" Jeff said. "That doesn't mean he's the killer." "But..." "No buts." Jeff said. "And we can't report this to the police." "Why not?" Ray asked. "Because they'll shut the movie down for good. And we can't tell them that we've seen Dillon. He's supposed to be with them." Everyone agreed. Even Jimmy. "Wish you didn't call me." Allison mumbled. "What?" Jeff asked. "I said I wish you didn't call me and made me come out here." "I didn't call you. Dillon called me." they all looked at Dillon. "No! Allison called me!" everyone looked around at the three of them, not knowing which one to trust. Later that day, it began to snow again, making the roads really icy and getting them shut down. A big blizzard was reported to hit soon so everyone was advised to stay inside. Allison and Karyn didn't hear this and so, they were walking down the sidewalk. "Who do you think it is?" Karyn asked, snow falling on them. "I honestly don't know." Allison answered. "It could be Dillon, but I doubt it." "What about Jeff or Len?" Karyn asked. "Nah. They were together." "Maybe they're both in on it. That's the real reason Jeff doesn't want anyone to go to the cops because they'll find out it was them." this made Allison think. Mike and Ray were out, sliding down a hill next to some train tracks. "We should go soon." Mike suggested. "Feels like the storm is coming." "Sure. One more slide." so they climbed the hill and when they got to the top, a figure was at the bottom, the snow and wind, blowing his cloak. It was Grim Reaper. "Ray, look!" "I'll take care of him." Ray threw a snowball and missed by a mile. He got on his slid and zoomed down, trying to hit the killer. The killer didn't move even as Ray got really close. He suddenly took out his scythe and stuck it out. Ray didn't have time to react. His slid made him go right into the blade of the scythe, his head flying through the air and the blood staining the snow. Grim Reaper cleaned the blood off the scythe with his glove and looked up at Mike. "No way!" Mike turned to run, but slipped and slid rolled down the hill and hit a rock which made him go flying onto the tracks next to the hill. He moaned and slowly started to stand. Once he got up, he heard a train whistle. He started to move, but Grim reaper was there and he raised a sharp knife. "No!" Mike pleaded. The killer rammed it down into Mike's foot, pinning it to the ground. Mike let out a cry of pain and fell over. When he looked up, Grim Reaper was gone. Mike struggled with the knife through lots of pain and finally got it out. "Yes!" then he was splattered all over and squashed when the train suddenly hit him. Allison and Karyn were standing outside a gas station. Allison was trying to break in because she was really cold. "Hurry!" Karyn urged her. As Karyn looked around to see if anyone was around, she faintly saw grim Reaper on the other side of the road through the falling snow and wind. "Oh god." "What?" Allison asked. "There he is." "Who?" Karyn pointed as Allison looked up and they saw Grim Reaper start to move towards them. "Oh no." Allison said. They turned and ran down the sidewalk. Len was with drew and Jimmy. "Why'd you get us?" Drew asked. "Jeff's mom said he was gone out to shoot the movie." Len answered. "So what?" Drew asked. "He said that we weren't going to work on it today." "Yeah, so maybe he went to do some editing on the school computer system thing." Jimmy suggested. "I just have a bad feeling." Len said. They heard a scream and ran towards it. Allison and Karyn turned and ran down another street. Karyn picked up a rock and threw it at the window of a store. "No alarm?" Allison complained. "God, I hate this town!" they jumped through the broken window into Co-op. As they ran down an aisle, they looked back and saw the killer walk in. Len, Jimmy, and Drew saw the broken window of the Co-Op store and ran in that direction. Mark was walking home when he saw Len, Jimmy, and Drew just go around the corner. "What are they up to?" he asked himself and followed behind. Inside the store, Allison and Karyn walked down behind the aisles and Grim reaper walked out from one and right in front of them. "No!" Karyn turned and ran and went into the back room, while Allison ran down an aisle. Grim Reaper followed Karyn into the back room. Karyn ducked down behind some boxes. She looked around and saw a big machine that crushes garbage. She looked back and was grabbed onto by the killer. "No." the killer threw her and she landed next to the machine, banging her head on it. Grim Reaper picked her up with both hands and laid her on it as he started it up. "No!" he kept his hands on her so she wouldn't get off. Just before the crushing device came down, he let go and a loud crunching sound was heard as blood, guts, and bones went flying around the room. Outside, Allison ran out of the store and into Len, Jimmy, and Drew. "He's in there! The killer's in there!" she grabbed onto Jimmy and wouldn't let go. Then Grim Reaper stepped out of the window and slashed his scythe, slitting Jimmy's throat. Blood squirted onto Allison's head before she backed away and Jimmy's body fell to the ground. The killer disappeared back into the store. Then they heard a crunching noise and turned. Another Grim Reaper was there! The killer and Drew circled each other until the killer was in front of the broken window. Drew pushed him and he fell down, a broken piece of glass breaking through his back and out his stomach, blood coming from it. Allison pulled the hood back and Jeff was underneath. "Jeff?" Len asked. "Why?" "And who is the other killer?" "Not me." Jeff gasped, blood coming from his mouth. "Just did this to scare you. Real killer...I don't know who." then his heard turned and he died. "Oh god." Drew said as Allison and Len looked at him. "I didn't know. How could I know he was just playing a prank?" "You couldn't." Mark said, walking up. "No one could." they looked at his body and said a silent prayer. The they turned away. "The real killer," Allison said. "Knew Jeff was going around dressed up, he set this up, he knew we'd kill him." "Then all that's left now." Len said. "Is to find the killer and kill him. Looks like Dillon is the killer. He's the last one left." The group turned and started to walk back to the store, but when they turned, Grim Reaper was already there, standing not even a metre away. By now, the snow and wind got more windy and cold. "Run!" Drew shouted. So the four scattered in different directions. Mark ran to the library. Allison ran down one sidewalk. Drew ran across the street. Len ran straight ahead. Grim Reaper followed Mark, marking him as his next victim. Mark ran, slipped on the ice but didn't fall down, and ran some more. He turned and ducked, just as the scythe swooshed where his head would have been. He kicked the killer in the knee which slowed Grim Reaper down. Mark got to the library and tried to open the doors. They were locked. Dread and realization dawned on Mark's face as he knew he was going to die. He turned around. "What would Captain Kirk do in a situation like this?" he raised a hand and finger as he said this. Grim Reaper swung the scythe and chopped off Mark's raised hand. "Ahhhh!" blood squirted out. Mark covered the limb with his other hand. Grim Reaper swung the scythe into Mark's stomach. On the other side of the library doors, inside, a bloody scythe blade broke through and retracted, blood seeping through the hole. Drew was now walking and breathing hard, his breath seen in the air. He stopped and ran his hands over himself, trying to stay warm. He turned and saw grim reaper walk from the corner. Wind blew the cloak and snow made it look white. "Crap!" Drew whispered and turned and tried to run, but was too cold. He fell down and looked up. Grim Reaper picked him up and threw him through the window of the closest store, shattering the window. Drew hit a stack of books and fell to the floor with them. He crawled across the floor while Grim Reaper stepped into the dark, deserted store. Drew stood up just as Grim Reaper swung his arm out and sent him flying again. Grim Reaper walked over and behind a counter. He opened a cabnit and took out a long, sharp, shinning, butcher knife. He walked over to where Drew lay, only half conscious. Drew's eyes lightly opened as he looked up and saw the cleaver come down on his face, blood falling down the side of his face. Len ended up meeting up with Allison again. "Where's everyone else?" Allison asked. "I don't know." Len breathed. They met by some hedges. Suddenly, Grim Reaper poked through the hedges and Allison screamed. The two victims walked backwards as the killer walked around the hedges, his scythe drawn. "Now what?" Len asked. "You die!" Said the famous muffled voice from Grim Reaper. He lashed his scythe out and it dug into Len's chest. Len fell down, the scythe still in him. "Run!" he gasped. Allison watched as Grim Reaper retrieved his weapon. "Dillon, you're sick!" "No I'm not." Allison turned and Dillon was behind him. "But..." "I'm not the killer!" Dillon shouted. "Is that so hard to understand?" then they turned and ran as the real killer chased them down the street. They turned a corner and headed down the street. They got to an abandoned building and Dillon kicked the door down. They ran inside and up a flight of stairs. Dillon went one way as Allison went another. At the bottom, Grim Reaper walked in, the snow and wind blowing behind him, making a great effect. He walked into the building. He walked up the stairs slowly. Allison was hiding in a bedroom, in an empty tub, the curten pulled over. She was trying not to breath when she heard footsteps enter the room. Her eyes went wide as she saw the outline of the killer through the curten. Grim Reaper turned to leave, but turned back and pulled the curten aside. Allison screamed and punched the killer, sending him back against the sink. Allison jumped out, reached up, and pulled the hood back. She gasped and backed up out of the room. "You're dead!" Allison stammered. "Mark saw you!" there's laughter. Evil laughter. Evil female laughter. Stephanie walked out, dressed as Grim reaper, only the hood pulled back. "It was a fake. A dummy. The one we used in my death scene in the movie! I only added a few more details. Sure thing, it wasn't even wearing the same cloths as me!" Allison backed up more. "Why are you doing this?" she said through tears. "Why?" Steph mimicked. "Why?" she then yelled. "I'll tell you. School Day was my idea!" "But you didn't even live here when Jeff made the first bunch." "No, but they were my idea. You see, I knew Dillon before. He was my cousins best friend. I told him that I would be making a story of a killer dressed as Grim Reaper stalking kids in a high-tech school. I move here and find out he suggested the idea to Jeff. He took all the credit for it. But now he's dead. Thanks to you guys." "So are you!" Steph turned and saw Dillon in the hall, aiming a pistol at her. "Now where the heck did you get that?" she asked. "Had it on me ever since the first murder was reported." "Fire it. See if you can shoot you're old friend." Steph dared him. Dillon fired and hit her in the chest. She fell down and stopped moving. "Let's go." Allison suggested. "Here." Dillon offered her his hand and she took it. He helped her over the dead body and just as she was over Stephanie, Steph jumped up and grabbed her leg. "Ahhh!" "You won't get away!" Steph yelled as she raised her scythe with the other hand. Dillon fired again, getting her in the neck. "She's dead for good now." Dillon said as him and Allison walk down the stairs and out the building into the now full blast snow storm. The snow is really coming down hard. "Oh well. Guess we'll have to stay in there until it lets up." Dillon said calmly. "Ok." as they turn to go back in, Dillon smiled. THE END Copyrighted 2001, Jeff Long |
