from the bushes. He advanced towards the bushes that moved ever so slightly in the gentle wind. Suddenly, a man jumped out from the bushes as he pounced on to Joel. Violently, he pushed Kilan to the ground and took out a knife which he later plunged roughly in to Kilan’s abdomen. The assault ended just as abruptly as it had begun and the murderer gave a loud, menacing cackle when he watched as Joel breathed his last.

The hall was packed and noisy as I walked on its wooden floor the next morning. “What’s wrong again?” I asked Preal, whom I had just spotted while walking towards the crowd. “Well…” She sounded sorry. “Well?” I prompted. “Two students were killed yesterday on the school field. Detectives are there checking the scene out and the teachers are considering the choice of asking us to go home first while the professionals are at work.” I was astounded. How could two students die on the exact same day? “Have they dug up anything yet?” I questioned. “No. Not anything crucial yet, but I have heard when some of the teachers were gossiping just now that they were murdered. Each found with a wound at the abdomen.” Celine answered solemnly. “O-Oh.” I was absolutely stunned now, murder was the last thing that was on my mind.

Axeth was one of the best seniors we had ever met. Could it be? Could the desperation for water really have driven Axeth to the point of no return? To the point where he could turn from a kind man to a cold-blooded murderer?

We were all silent, anyone could betray us. Even a senior we thought was trustworthy betrayed our trust. We could not say anything as we watched the police pull Axeth into the police car. Our eyes droop and we sighed.

How could we ever learn to trust anyone again?
