Clementine:
As Mr. Brian announced the last part, we all gasped, and our squad lost it. We rushed toward the hall to go see the scene. There was no way Bodhi would do it. He seemed so sweet and so normal, but he was anxious, I remembered.
And then I heard the other squadmates running after us, heading to the Green Squad’s dorm room.
We arrived at the room full of blood. It looked like a bloodbath had taken place here. Three bodies lay on the ground. Two were on the bed, while one was right beside them, holding a gun we recognized from the north. That was the only gun we found from the man’s pocket who we bought with us. Other than that, there were some daggers, knives, and swords. Each of them had one gunshot wound to the head before the last one shot himself in the temple.
I began to lose my footing, and Haiden wrapped his arm around my waist to steady me. Joshua quickly hugged Suki, keeping her head and face away from the sight. The blue squad, I could already tell, was failing to compose themselves as well. Then silence filled the room before Oriana started crying.
"This is so scary." She was right. It was scary.
"I cannot," she muttered, turning around and running out. She was the first to leave. Then the two girls and one boy from the blue squad sprinted out crying. Jessie and Mathias left, and then the white squad followed. We turned to leave too, but Ian stayed behind.
"Ian, come on," Yorick urged as we noticed the ringleaders arrive. Haiden was still holding me close, not letting me look back at the scene.
"He had a diary," Ian said and Yorick grunted.
"Dude, come on, they’re dead. Let’s not think about it right now. Did you not hear what the ringleader said?"
Yorick reminded him that it all happened because we got too consumed by the mysteries. Looking at the other teams, they were doing fine. We tried to find answers, and what happened? We ended up in the north and came back with our heads down in shame. We could not even tell anyone what exactly happened there. Then there was the green squad. They got too involved as well, and look what happened to them. So I didn’t argue with Yorick. At the same time, the ringleaders had come to clean the scene.
"We will be sending their bodies to their packs. However, there will be different approaches from now on, since an entire squad is gone," Mr. Rick announced, gesturing for us to leave.
Reluctantly, Ian had to leave because Troy grabbed his arm and pulled him out. Once we were in the passage, we noticed the white squad slowing down.
"Are you guys happy now?" Jack hissed.
"I remember how condescending they were when one of our girls made a mistake and killed someone," Suki remarked in her usual sassy tone, referring to Melanie’s death as an accident.
"It was not an accident," Ian muttered with a shrug.
"You don’t even look a bit guilty," Joshua shot back.
