“I kicked him in the face, jumped over his bent over body and ran. My best friend Amie, we had been friends sense Pre-K, had been ushering kids out, she always thought of everyone before herself. We were running side by side, I could hear him growling. Suddenly we were both pulled off our feet, kids turned to watch, horrified.”

I paused again to take an even deeper breath and calm my shaky voice, his hand continued to rub my back while I now hugged my knees. “His voice had the sweet quality yours does, but the iceyness was there too. ‘So the slayer and her friend,’ I had no idea what he meant. ‘Well lets cause you some pain before you die.’ He threw me up against the locker I figured he was going to kill me slowly that way.”

I had to take another breath, I was talking so fast. “Thats when he pulled her head back, he bit her, the last thing I remember of her were her scared brown eyes, her red hair was everywhere while she struggled, and then she was still. Bleach white, with her mouth hanging open.
