  Chapter 3

  A new place, a new home

  It took a while to clear out the place, teachers were everywhere, but when they got the chance, Amia managed to pick up the bodies and bury them in the forest and when she cut the rope of the hanged women Emily vomited again “You are cleaning that up dude”. Emily tidied the floor and the walls and sometimes looked at the paperwork to find out what happened here, why did the woman hang herself? Hunger? After a couple of weeks of tidying the place, it started to shape, Emily looked at the equipment in the corner next to the War table, "Hey Amia come look at this", Amia was tiding the desks when Emily called "Yo what you find?", Emily typed on the keyboard and a screen lit up, it was a video of the school. Amia and Emily stared at the image, then all of a sudden, nine other screens glowed showing the whole of the school ground, "Oh my god", the two girls were shocked, "Wait, I thought those video camera at school were fakes, I thought they never worked until now" ,Emily laughed, "Hence the name 'Secret'", Amia looked at Emily, "Ha Ha Ha I am laughing out loud....Shut up".

  Emily also found a headset with a microphone meaning there was also a sound system, but they weren’t going to try, they could get into trouble if it really worked, it would spook everyone. The next week Amia was looking through a closet, "OMG Emily! take a look at this shit", Emily was trying to figure out how to use the equipment she sighed and came over to Amia "What have I told you about....holy shit" ,Amia took out a golden pistol, "And look at the rest of the stuff, geez this is in prim condition" there was rocket launchers, pistols, rifles you name it "Amia we can’t take this, it’s illegal", "Emily I wasn’t going too, but if we are ever in trouble, we know where to go "Emily turned back to the equipment, while Amia put the golden pistol in her pocket. When Amia got home, she didn’t say a thing in the car to her dad about her day, “Is there something you’re not telling me” the father was staring out at the road in front of him “Na just the normal day” the father smiled “Ok then”.

  I was in the basement of the school, Emily and I found the basement 2 years ago now and have found loads of new stuff, it was mostly corridors until we found more  rooms, we also found the diary of the woman that hanged herself, she was one of those people who sent telegrams to families that lost their sons and husbands in the war, it said that they were surrounded by British, guessing that this was a secret German base, and they were starving, most were shot by the English and the last ones died here from starvation. I heard cries and screaming outside, I dropped everything and  ran as fast as I can to the main base, I put on the headphones, looked at the screens and saw soldier like people walking around the playground, holding children and teachers by the hair and arms, little kids cried while the teachers were questioned, "Where is the girl?" , "I don’t know, please don’t hurt the children" and the teacher fell to the ground dead, I stared in horror at the screens, who were they looking for? Then something struck me, Emily was pulled out of the building, the guy grabbing her by the hair, ”Get off me you son of a bitch!”, "Tell me, where is Amia?" Emily was on her knees, but she didn’t cry, but the soldier ignored her screaming, "I don’t know" .A gun shot was heard, Isa back in my seat with tears in my eyes, they had killed my only friend. An idea popped into my head, I may be upset, but I have seen enough videos to act creepy and scare people.

   Soldier guys with guns held a man tightly, making sure that he didn’t escape, "Tell me! Where is the girl?!” the man looked up at his captor, "I ain’t telling you shit", the soldier punched him in the face, "Whatever you do to me, I ain’t gonna to tell ye nothing. Rain started to pour down. "God dam it, why can’t I get a break". A buzzing was heard from the buildings surrounding the playground.

  It’s raining its pouring.

  The old man is snoring.

  He went to bed and laid down his head.

  He never woke up in the morning.

  The song carried on and on, one of the soldier looked around him, he had a scared look on his face, “What...What is that?! Stop it!”, the scared soldier shot randomly where he thought the sound was coming from but was stopped from the commander "What is this shit Soldier, she’s playing with us”, the captured man smirked “Clever girl” a cry of pain was heard from one of the soldiers who were guarding the children looked down at his chest and was horrified to find two swords cutting through his stomach and fell down.

  Amia looked at the arguing soldiers and laughed, she had connected her computer to the headset and looked up creepy songs to lighten the mood, but then she stopped laughing when she saw her father held by two black soldiers. She grabbed two Shahanshahs from the closet and her golden pistol, she felt the grip and the weight of the knives, “Surprisingly comfy, as if I was made for these”, and she ran through one of the corridors and went up the steps and opened up another trap door to find herself in the theatre, “Perfect” she got out, closed the door behind her and went out the exit doors. There is a thin alley way between the junior block and the Norris building, a soldier was pacing down the alley, luckily the guy didn’t see her. What am going to do about this she thought, but then it hit her, they killed Emily and it was all her fault. She had to do it. Amia peeked around the corner and the soldier’s back was faced to her. She smirked and crept up behind him, the song had stopped playing it had reached the end. ”Finally that fucking thing ended…..”a knife stabbed him in the back and blood began coming out of the man’s mouth and fell, Amia stepped back from the corpse, ”Oh my god what have I done” but Amia didn’t feel sick, and didn’t really feel guilty. The girl took out the knife from his back and put it back into its case. Maybe it made for her.
