Chapter 12: The Academies funeral

Three days have past since the last murder but this time the atmosphere was different, everyone was upset, depressed. They didnt know how to act anymore.

Chloe was in her room, shutting everyone who tried to see her, Chloe even shut out Max but Max never gave up and tried knocking on Chloe's door everyday. On the 5th day, Chloe finally opened the door for Max and so Max entered her room and asked her how she felt. Chloe told her the truth and that she was depressed, Max then tried to comfort her but it didn't work but max never gave up and so she tried and tried to comfort but nothing worked so max tried to be real with Chloe and told her how she felt about what she saw on that day and so when she told Chloe ho she felt and how she's coping with it, Chloe then felt bad of how she has been acting while Max had been the one who was feeling the worst out of the two.

Max then came closer to Chloe trying to tell her that she has nothing to worry about and that so long she has Max and Max has Chloe, they'll be fine and no one will be able to hurt them because they'll always stick together, now even more, thanks to the murders going around the town and in the academy itself.

Max then came closer to Chloe and then told her that she actually came for a different reason and not just to comfort her. Max then went closer and closer, then she took off Chloe's shirt and then her own afterwards. Max then started kissing her and while doing so she unbuttoned Chloe's pants, Chloe then did the same to Max.

*** 3 hours later ***

After a while, Max started dressing herself again and so did Chloe but right after they dressed themselves they both went back to Chloe's bed and slept.

Nathan then came running into the room, waking up max and chloe who were fast asleep.

He yelled out to them saying that the teachers are gathering every student at the campus to go to the field and that they wear something black, like a black dress or a suit for the guys. When Max was awake and not half asleep she asked Nathan why, Nathan then responded that they were going to give a funeral to the ones who died at campus in the past half week.

Max and Chloe then stood up, got dressed and went out with Nathan to the open yard where the other students were and the teachers. Max looked around to see for who the funeral was but she couldn't see any pictures or candles, so she asked around but no one gave her a response and so she went back to chloe, holding her hand telling her that they have to find Nathan and leave as soon as possible, Chloe then asks Max why, so she says that she has this weird feeling about this and that they shouldn go now before something crazy happens and so they started looking for Nathan in the big crowd of people. The two of them have been searching for Nathan for almost an hour and didn't find him, Chloe then asked Max if he went outside with them. Max then had a minute of thinking to remember when the two of them got separated from Nathan, then Max remembered that they didn't see him when they went outside, so they must have been separated when they went out to the yard. Max took Chloe's hand and ran back to the dorms looking for Nathan. They couldn't find him anywhere so they then ran back outside only to find that there's no one around. They start looking for Nathan at the school building, hoping that he might have run to the building. Chloe and Max then open the main doors to the building and start looking for Nathan.

Two hours have past since they started looking for Nathan but they couldn't find him anywhere so then max decides to call him, she reaches for her phone and then looks for nathan's number while looking for his number, max notices that she can't seem to find his number and not just his but every single of her friends except Chloes.

She then goes back to Chloe knowing that she didn't find him either,so then they decided to go back to the yard where the other students and teachers were. When they arrived at the yard, they realised that they were all gone so then they started to look around to see if the two of them could find anyone.

They then started searching for 2 hours and they couldn't find anyone, Chloe started to get worried about her friends. Max tried to calm her down. They took a quick nap but then realised that they couldn't sleep or close their eyes, they weren't even tired.

Max then figured out that maybe they were in a dream and that they have to somehow escape from that drea, by finding someone… Chloe then interrupted Max that maybe they had to find Nathan since he wasn't anywhere near them and they couldn't find him, said Chloe quietly to max.

Max then kept thinking about it and concluded that they should maybe go to the hospital which is behind the school, since it's where they met Nathan for the first time.

Max started walking to the back entrance of the school, Chloe following her, not saying a word.

The two of the girls then arrive at the back entrance and they immediately see the hospital, Max has shivers coming down her body but she ignores it. The two of the girls walk into the hospital looking for their lost friend.

2 hours have passed and they still haven't found their friend, Chloe was starting to lose all hope of finding him but Max held her head high and said that they should never give up, Nathan would have never given up on searching for her or Chloe as well if they got lost.

Chloe looked at Max and gave a nod. They then kept searching for hours and hours and never found him and not even any clues. Right before they were about to give up they saw a door that they haven't seen before so they decided to go to that door and look to where it goes. When they open the door they find that there's some clothing and when they go closer to see to whom it belongs to, the door closes and the only thing they hear are footsteps and shadows walking in front of the door, Chloe gets scared and jumps at Chloe hoping that she holds her and she does, after calming down Chloe then stands up again and then sees another door which has light beaming from it, they go closer to the light and Chloe then opens up the door only to see that they are back at the dorms. Chloe then sees Nathan and runs towards him, jumps trying to hug him, and Max does the same but shouts his name, then Nathan looks behind them only to find himself on the floor with two girls on top of him crying. Nathan then tries to calm the two girls who are crying on top of him down, after ten minutes of crying, Max and Chloe then start to tell him what happened and so after another ten minutes of explaining, Nathan then finally understand what happened, He then tells them that maybe they were trapped inside the so called ' dream' because they wanted us three to be separated for a while so they could kidnap one of us but then it didn't work because the two of you woke up way faster than the kidnappers anticipated and so they made a escape. Chloe was confused on why someone would want to kidnap one of the three, on the other hand, Max was worried because she probably knew who wanted to kidnap one of the three. Max then made an excuse and left the two of them, she then went back to her dorm room, looked through her memory box and found an old letter from her father, saying that he was sorry for not telling her the truth about who she really is.

Max kept on reading the letter, after reading the letter, Max stood up ran out of her room, looking for Chloe and Nathan, after looking and asking people if they had seen the two of her friends but nobody has seen where they could have gone, with that max started to get afraid, worrying that maybe, the kidnappers who were after her, have now kidnapped Chloe and Nathan, just so they can get Max to find them and fall into their trap, even knowing that Max had to save her friends, even if it meant losing her own life in the process.
