How It All Began, Page 2

  “Hey, have you guys met before?”asked Morgan.

  “No I haven’t and shes new so, no.” I said

  “Hi I’m Ryan.”

  “Hi Ryan I’m Zac.  Isn’t Ryan a boy name?”

  “Yes my mom was expecting a boy.” for a second we stared into each others eyes, well I would like to say gazed.

  “Hi Zac I’m Miranda.”

  “Hi, Miranda what a pretty name.”

  “Alright the real reason we came up to you, Zac is new to this class.” said Morgan in a shy way.

  “Really, he wants to come to math class, who does?  The reason I’m in here is because my mom made me.” I said confused.

  The bell rung again for us to get to work so we all sat down.  school was very boring even though it was the third period and I still have the rest of the day to go.

  Chapter 5

  The Murder

  Today was a dark a spooky day and out of nowhere a magpie just flew into my hair. Then it flew away.  I felt something on my leg.  Crash!  

  “Sorry Ryan.” said a voice. A nightmare. It looked alot like the other one.  

  “Why? Why do I keep having these dreams?  I keep seeing them every time I fall asleep.  It starts off nice and peaceful but I keep seeing myself in that mirror.  But this time it looked like it was before the mirror.”  I said to myself

  “Who are you talking to?” Asked Jem with an evil glare in her eyes.  Jem is my ten year old sister. She’s in grade four and the most popular girl in her class.  Jem  has light brown hair and light blue eyes, sometimes I wish I was her.  The difference between Jem and I is that I have actually red hair, I’m super sweet, by the way my eyes are a dark, mysterious brown colour, I come from my dad's side of the family and I’m the tallest one in my class and she’s only the tenth tallest in her class, see where nothing alike.

  “Jem, you scared me!” I shouted.

  “How did I scare you, you fell asleep in my room!?” asked Jem

  “How did I not realize I’m in your room?”

  “Because you're stupid.” I rolled my eyes and left

  “You’re the one who’s stupid.” I mumbled

  “What!?” I heard Jem’s voice call out behind me.

  Jem takes things too seriously but I don’t really care how Jem likes to take things.  She’s also a drama queen sometimes.

  It was time to catch the bus although I would have never known because Jem always changes the time.  I always wonder what it’s like being her. Like the younger sister but it’s hard to bug a younger sister but it’s easy to bug your older sister.

  I heard the sound of Jem’s voice call out,

  “Ryan hurry up we’re going to miss the bus if you don’t hurry up!!!”

  “Okay hold on, I’ll be right down!”

  “Hurry we got one minute!”

  Jem was screaming out her lungs if she didn’t stop she wouldn’t have any lungs to breathe at all.

  I ran out the door just grabbing my bag and i could hear the bus coming by.

  “Ryan hurry up!” screamed Jem, she freaking out, I the one missing my bus not her.

  “I’m on my way!”

  Rip! “I’m stuck!” I exclaimed

  “Just pull away, let it rip!” she yelled.

  “You know you're not the sharpest tool in the shed!”

  “What does that mean?!”

  “That you're not smart!”

  “Oh, but I’m pretty!”

  “Yeah, sure, ok, whatever, just help me!”

  “Fine, walk back into the house carefully then walk back out.”

  It was a long conversation but her idea actually worked.  I ran to the bus stop and the bus was coming around the corner.  The bus driver came out of the bus and said,

  “Sorry kids the school has been closed because a concern from Miranda’s mother-”

  “What was the concern.” Clair rudely interrupted.

  “The concern was that Miranda went missing, now, I need to get to the other bus stops.” said the bus driver sadly.

  Miranda went missing, what if she didn’t go missing what if she ran away or maybe there's a murderer on the loose.  I need to find it out but my bus driver had something on his mind and it wasn’t something you need to remember like your mom’s birthday, it wasn’t even close.  If there was a murderer on the loose what if he was the murderer.

  I went up to Miranda’s house and saw red stains that looked like blood stains going up the steps but they didn’t come from a kill it was more from fingerprints.  As I was looking at the blood stains a loud scream roared across town.  Everyone rushed to go see.  On the ground Mrs.Burlowstain was drowning in her own puddle of blood.

  All I could hear was camera flashes for the newspaper and the sirens from the ambulance.  I looked closer at the body and on her forehead was the letter M.  What would M stand for murderer?  No it has to be something else.

  I went back to the steps of Miranda’s house and saw a  letter on her welcome mat, the letter was R.  If there was a M and now a R that would make  mr  who is the Mr?

  I went back home and flopped down on the couch I just sat there thinking of Miranda I didn’t turn on the tv.  I heard a knock on the door I had to stop thinking to get it because Jem was going to 7 eleven with her friends.

  I opened the door slowly just incase it wasn’t a friend but it happened to be Clair.

  “What do you want Clam?”

  “It’s Clair, and I know who the murderer is.” when I heard this come out of her mouth I was so happy maybe she has changed, maybe she is now nicer to me.

  “Really, who?”

  “You.” I froze so maybe she hasn’t gotten nicer but I know for sure I didn’t kill Miranda.

  “Why would you think that?”

  “Because you know where she lives and because I know you didn’t like that I was talking about you with her.”

  “I wouldn’t she’s my friend.” I just slammed the door on her face.  I can’t believe she would think that I would kill Miranda.

  BOOM!  I heard a huge gunshot coming from a back alley I didn’t care anymore so I just went up to my room.

  Chapter  6

  The Killer Strikes  Again

  “Ryan wake up, please!” called out a voice. I woke up and found myself in a hospital with a stinging pain in my leg.  I looked down and reached out to touch my leg but the doctor pulled my hand back.

  “Ryan you can’t touch your leg.” whispered the doctor.  I cried softly hoping my mom did not see or hear me. I tried to fall asleep but I couldn’t because the doctor is scared I might die or something like that.  I still think they're taking things too serious.

  “How long do I have to stay here?” I asked

  “Tonight you will go home with crutches.” said the doctor.  I sighed.

  Back at Slave Lake Zac was hanging out with Morgan when they got the news about Ryan.They ran to the cabin and tried to find Zach’s mom.

  “Mom where are you I need you to drive Morgan and I to the hospital.” Shouted Zach.

  When they finally found her Zach and Morgan pulled her to the car so they could go to the hospital to see Ryan.  There was a huge rain storm blowing on them so they quickly ran to the car.  When the boys were in the car for a thirty minute drive to the hospital Ryan was at Morgan rolled down his window on the highway by an accident.

  “Ah!My hair is blowing everywhere.” Called out Morgan

  “You accidently rolled down your window, roll it back up the rain is blowing in!” Zach shouted back.  The boys could barely hear each other because of the hard blustering wind.

  “I can’t it’s stuck!” said Morgan struggling to roll it up.

  “Well I’m getting soaked!” said Zach. Zach’s mom realized she had put it on lock and she rolled it up for him.  They went to the parking lot of the hospital .

  “Wow cool!  Morgan look at this huge bug on the cross walk!” said Zach as he was tugging on Morgan’s shirt.


  “That’s so gross.” Morgan shivered.They just walked past the bug and walked into the hospital.  The hospital was huge they had everything they didn’t know where to go.  Morgan, Zach and Zach’s mom went to the front desk and the mom asked,

  “Excuse me, what room is Ryan Medis in?”

  “Room 125 right down the left hallway and turn right at the first corner.” Said the person at the front desk.

  “Thank you.”  They walked down the hall but they walked to far they went straight past it.

  “Uh, guys I think we missed it, because this is the 200 not 125.” Said Morgan

  “Yeah let’s go back.” Said Zach as he turned around and started walking.  The boys finally found the door.  Slowly and very silently they opened the door.  I was crying in pain I was very hurt the boys could see .

  Morgan ran over to hold my hand and whispered,

  “What happened?”

  “The murderer he or she got me.” my faint little tears made it hard to talk.  Zach came over and saw the stitches along my leg.  There sad looks made me even sadder.  Zach handed me a sizzling barry explosion when I opened the top the word WINNER appeared at the top of the lid. Was this the end?  I just remembered Miranda what ever happened to her did she die, I couldn’t remember all this stuff.
