MURDERERS

Caleb reached the class at first before Charlotte. He slammed the door open and hurried to Caroline’s side within a blink of an eye. Becca was stunned to see him for a moment.

“What are you doing here?” she asked, dropping the gun down.

“I called him. Do you have the courage to kill my brother? Since he’s your crush,” Caroline smirked victoriously. Becca doesn’t have a plan to kill Caleb. She can’t able to execute her plan.

“Seriously, I don’t want to know who took the footage. I want to get this over. I can’t wait anymore.” She changed her mind and was about to kill both of them. This is her one last option. She pulled the trigger. Care was shot in her arms. Becca isn’t an expert in shooting, even though having her own gun.

“Just a little mistake. Now I will take the right aim,”

“No. Have you lost your mind?” Caleb growled and caught his sister, who is stuck in the same place holding her arms to stop the blood. In a hurry, Caleb didn’t act brilliantly to save themselves.

Suddenly, someone came behind Becca silently. Caleb’s eyes widened at seeing Charlotte with a steel bat. She didn’t wait to do it. Before Becca can shoot Caroline again, Charlotte hit her hard with that bat. Becca fell to the ground with the gun in her hands. Charlotte doesn’t expect she will bleed.

“BLOOD,” Caroline stuttered, seeing the blood flowing from her head. In shock, Charlotte looked at the steel bat, which has a mark of blood on it.

“I had to save you,” Charlotte explained, seeing Caroline.

“I know it. Is she breathing?” Care took some steps, still holding her injured arms.

“I will see it,” Caleb volunteered. He kept his hands near her nose to feel the breathing.

“No, no, no,” Caleb repeated in fear.

“I will try again. You go to get a medical set...needed a bandage for Caroline,” Charlotte ordered her brother in panic. She feels like she’s going to have a panic attack. But they didn’t act fast, there are going to get caught. Charlotte tried everything to check whether she’s alive. Soon Caleb temporarily treated Caroline’s arm injury.

“Can you move your arms?” Caleb asked.

“Yes. I think so,” she answered. She’s lucky to have been injured in the left hand than the right one. But she doesn’t deserve a pain like this.

“Guys, Becca’s dead,” Charlotte whispered. The room became silent. Only three pumping hearts remain. Caroline kept her hands over her mouth to stop crying.

“Don’t cry. There’s no time for that,” Charlotte scolded.

“What can I do? We will be going to jail and our life will be broken into a million pieces. She’s dead.” Care sobbed.

“I know that. We are not going to jail. Get that in your mind.” Charlotte told stubbornly in that situation.

“How can you be so calm at this time?” Caleb questioned Charlotte.

“What choice do we have? Iam the one who killed her. If I fainted now, nothing’s going to change. Everything will be worse than we can expect. She’s the one who tried to kill, so we are going to bury her. Am I clear? “Charlotte asked without showing her fear. They never had a murder experience.

“I can’t do that. We are going to get caught. I can’t live like that,” Care sobbed.

“No. Stop crying or I will slap you. Now carry her body, Caleb,”

“Don’t do that,” Care ordered him, talking against Charlotte’s order. Caleb looked at both of his sisters and thought.

“I will do it.” Caleb decided to walk towards Becca’s body.

“First, we should check whether or not the area is clear? You did this. At least be careful,” Care gave them an idea, still sobbing. In Care’s view, the biggest problem has finally left this world, but she can’t live her life killing someone and hiding the truth. Someday there will be a chance of getting caught.

Charlotte nodded, and the three of them separated in different ways to check all the corridors. Once they united, Charlotte spoke “We are going to bury her in school. I know a safe place where no one dares to enter,”

“School isn’t a safe place to bury,” Care rejected the idea.

“Then what can we do? Take her to the graveyard and put her in the coffin? Do you have any other good idea?” Care stayed silent, can’t able to answer her younger sister. Caleb entered the class, carried her body over his shoulder. They silently sneaked out of the school through the other way-a shortcut. In the night sky, they can’t able to see anyone on the ground. Charlotte took her to the end of the building. The end and the gap between the next building have a small gap. It’s small and difficult to enter. The next building is a big lab for science students. Somehow, they entered it.

Charlotte and Caleb sprang into action. They dug the soil while Care watched over the dead body and whether they were safe from anyone’s sight.

It took more than half an hour for two of them for digging and suddenly care gave a warning signal seeing someone approaching them.

“Someone’s coming,” Care panicked. Caleb and Charlotte, stuck in their place, ran out of the idea. The footsteps approached them faster. They can only able to see the body’s layout.

30 minutes ago...

Chloe can’t able to breathe. All she can see is a dark place. She is locked inside a locker by Becca. Becca was the one who called her at the party. She said she wanted to ask sorry for whatever she did before in their life. Chloe was so naïve and innocent, who didn’t doubt her. She followed Becca to a place away from the party. That’s all she remembered. Then she was locked in a locker without her phone. She can’t even able to call her sisters or Ian. Ian is busy talking with his friends. He didn’t know that she disappeared. She slammed her fist on the locker but she’s losing all her energy in that locker. She’s don’t have claustrophobia but who can able to survive in a locked place for more than an hour...She’s suffocating here.
