5. Cecilia

The whole room is trashed, what happened in here? Julia's stuff is scattered all over the place. Even some of my things are.

It almost looks like there has been a fight in here, like Julia tried to get away.

"What happened in here? I don't remember your room being this messy before",

Cecilia's voice wakes me from my thoughts.

"It wasn't this messy before",

I say quietly.

"It almost looks like..",

Beth is too afraid to say it out loud but she's definitely thinking it.

"It looks as if there has been a huge fight and Julia tried to get away",

Shannon finishes Beth's sentence.

"Poor thing who knows what might happen to her",

Cecilia says scared.

"What if.. what happened to Julia.. is going to happen to us too?",

Bridget asks frightened.

"Don't think like that",

Beth tries to comfort Bridget.

"That's it! I'm packing my stuff and I'm leaving this creepy place",

Shannon turns around.

"What about Julia, we can't just leave her behind",

Cecilia grabs Shannon's arm.

"I guess you're right..",

Shannon sighs.

"Why don't we clean this room up while we think of a plan to find Julia",

Beth suggests.

We all agree and start cleaning up. I look at Julia's ukulele, it's broken into a thousand pieces. I'm trying my best to hold back the tears I feel burning in my eyes. I know how much that thing meant to her, it was the only thing she had left.

As I'm shoving the pieces of her ukulele in a garbage bag, I notice a little note sticking out. I quickly grab it and shove it in my pocket.

Than I continue cleaning up. After a few minutes I notice Julia's bunny lying in a corner under her bed. It's also shredded to pieces but it's fixable.

A sudden scream distracts me from my thoughts. When I turn around, I see Shannon pointing at something. Coming closer I realize it's a pile of red liquid, is it.. blood?!

"T.. that l looks l like.."

Shannon is shaking and becomes pale.

"I'm scared",

Bridget voice becomes very squeaky.

"What the hell is going on here",

Cecilia asks.

"I have no idea",

Beth stares at the pile of blood.

"Rikki? You haven't said anything since we got here, aren't you scared?",

everyone turns to me.

Of course I am, I'm freaking out just as much as they do. I just can't really express it, I always keep everything in.

"I'm freaking out just as much as you guys are, I'm just not really good at expressing it",

I answer in all honesty.
