the hunted

chapter four

The class was in session when Principal Linda walked in and asked, "Where is Madeleine?" Madeleine raised her hand, and the principal instructed, "Follow me to my office." Madeleine got up and followed the principal out of the class.

After the class rose and zoey strolled around the school, when they got to the back of the school rose saw a small door.

"What's that?"rose asked zoey

"Oh it's the forbidden place,no one is allowed to go in there except the principal I think"

"Oh wow what do you think is in there?"rose asked walking to the door slowly

"It's better you don't think about it,I think its scary because why will Whitney high glow and this place dark"Zoey said with a scared look

"Why don't we check it out"

"No rose we can't it's against the school"

"Don't you want to do something fun"

"Em hello that's your own definition of fun girl I'm out"zoey said

"Please zoey i really need to see what's in there,beside it's just a door why are you so scared"

"Scared,no way!lunch is over let's go to class and I promise that tomorrow we are going in there"

"OK if you say so"

In class rose could not wait for tomorrow to come she was eager to see what was behind that door while on the other hand zoey was freaking out cause she know she's not ready.

*BELL RINGS*

When the students heard the closing bell they started arranging their books and bags."hey zoey don't forget about tomorrow"

"Sure rose the tomorrow is so scary that it doesn't want to be forgotten"

"OK goodbye"

GOOD LUCK'S RESIDENCE

Zoey lay on her bed, wide awake, as her dad entered her room. "Sweetie, why aren't you asleep?" he asked, concern etched on his face.

"I'm worried about what is going to happen tomorrow," Zoey replied, thinking about what she is going to do with rose tomorrow.

Her dad sat down beside her. "Focus on the present, Zoey. Worry about tomorrow when it comes. Get some rest, okay?"

Zoey nodded, feeling a sense of reassurance. She eventually drifted off to sleep.

The next day, during break, Zoey and Rose huddled together, discussing their plan to explore the mysterious door,they went into the class with a smile on their faces but was shocked when they saw everybody in the class crying.

They looked around and saw the class prefect calming the students down,so they went to meet him to know what happened.

"Hey ollie what happened?"rose asked

Oliver was about to say something when zoey who was beside rose started crying.

"Hey rose why are you crying"

"Oh wait it's not time yet,sorry"zoey said cleaning her eyes.

"OK em you know Madeleine right?"oliver asked

"Yes"rose said

"Well this morning she was reported dead"he told them

"What happened"rose asked

"Well i think she was sick and decided to go home but her car and a petrol van collided so she was burnt to death"

"What!"rose shouted

"W.h..a..t. Mandeleine..."after saying that zoey started crying.

Though rose is a new student so she don't know everyone quite well,she know that mandelien is the most quiet student in the class,though she was a little bit sad she was more concerned about zoey who was crying her heart out.

"Hey ollie let me take zoey out for some fresh hair first"

"Hey no need to come back,school has been canceled today so you can stay out"oliver said to them.

"Okay thanks"rose said leading zoey out of the class room.

Rose took zoey to the back of the school for some fresh air.

Looking around the place rose saw the same door and remembered that they were supposed to go inside.

"Hey zoey wait here for some minutes I'll be back"

"Where are you going to?"

"To check that place out"

"Be careful"zoey said to rose

"Okay"

PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE

The principal is seen sitting on her chair deep in thought.

*hmm i need to check out that place amd see how my little experiment is going but should I go now or I could go tomorrow. No no let me just go today*

The principal got up and started walking towards the back of the school.

It was hard opening the door but rose was able to open all three doors but the surprising thing is that after opening each door they close by themselves.

Zoey was still thinking about mandeliene's death when she saw the principal entering inside the forbidden place,she bagan panicking because she knows what will happen if the principal caught rose in there after waiting for sometime she decided to enter.

Rose not know that the principal is heading her way was still going when she saw a big cupboard she decided to drop her bag there first she entered the cupboard and drop her bag,she was about to come out when she heard foot steps heading her way,she quickly close the door.

The principal went straight to the lab and stood there staring at the amazing view.

Rose quickly came out from the cupboard and went to the lab she was shocked to see mandeliene body hanging,her eyes popped out and mouth was thorn,her blood was dripping into some equipment which she doesn't know of,she was about to take a closer look when she heard a loud shout from behind her and all that was in her mind was*BUSTED*.
