It was just another day in the haunting halls of Hillsview High, but at least I had my best friends Nicholas, Belle and Andrè to help me get through that horrible stage in life.

"Brooke where were you, I was looking for you?" Belle asked.

"Oh sorry Belle, I had to talk to Ms Love about the homework." I replied.

A few seconds later Nicholas and Andrè walked past the corner and saw us. This was like a family reunion because we hadn't seen each other for six weeks because of the summer holidays.

DING!!! DING!!! The bells for registration went and it was time to say goodbye even though we'd only just seen each other. Andrè and I were in the same form so we didn't have to leave each other.

"So Andrè how was your holiday?" I asked him trying to start a conversation.

"It was alright went to Florida," He replied "What about yours?"

"The usual." I said jokingly. We both laughed because every holiday I would do the same thing, which was staying at home while watching TV.

It was weird in lessons there was a strange vibe, as if something bad was going to happen. After our second week back at school, everything was going fine, well I thought everything was going fine. I had almost forgotten about the strange vibe from the lessons. That was until we walked through the bloodcurdling corridors. AHHHH!!!! Nicholas, Belle, Andrè and I ran to the doors where we thought the scream came from, we were alll shivering in fear rhythmically. We opened the door and saw my mentor Megan, her bones were dislocated and she was forced into a ball, she had 22 stab wounds all in different parts of her body, she was dead.

"Why would someone do this to Megan?!" I asked while sobbing.

"I don't know," Nicholas replied "Are you OK?"

"No!" I sobbed and started to cry.

We went and told the headmistress straight after, she asked us to tell exactly what we saw and heard, and if we saw anyone else go into that corridor. The next week someone else went through the same thing as Megan, but this time it was my best friend Belle, it was as if they were after people close to me.

I decided to find out who was behind the murder mania, so nobody would get hurt again.

Nicholas and Andrè offered to help me with the investigation, I didn't expect for it to turn out the way it did. I went to the room where Megan and Bella were killed, it brought back so many memories, we looked all over but we couldn't find anything. The next week when we just leaving the room after searching yet again someone ran in after us and left straight after. They left a note saying, 'I WILL STOP DOING ALL OF THIS IF YOU GO INTO THE ROOM  AT 4:30 AFTER SCHOOL ALONE. YOURS DREADFULLY THE HILLSVIEW MURDERER' I went to the room, I looked into it threw a little crack and saw a shadow, I opened the door and walked in. The murderers light blue eyes stared at me harder than ever, which made me wonder if they were going to pop right out, her jet black hair fell straight on her face. The murderer was Ms Love. She was the one killing people close to me. Anger, vengeance and justice came over me, I got the knife from the table and did the exact same thing she'd done to Megan and Belle to her. It made me feel so much better and stabbed her and stabbed her even though I knew she was dead I started to like seeing other people's blood and watching them suffer.

"So, now you know how it feels to be hurt Ms Love!" I yelled at her.

I guess the devil is in all of us.
