Cowboy Boots High: Trapped This is only the 1st 10 chapters I will post the rest on a later date p.s sorry for misspelled only a kid 1 At Cowboy Boots high a lot is going on. Brianna has her eye on someone but won't say who. I'mhaving a fun time being dramatic, fun, being a diva and throwing a party with her bffl Brianna. Margaret and Blaine might get back together but who knows with those two. It's a mystery. Kalyan thinks she is part unicorn and everyone thinks she is crazy. It was a normal day during Mr. Morales's class. He is giving one of his famous lectures. Then suddenly a code red siren went off. There is a gun shooter in the school. Everyone was screaming and I was like can you shut up. They will hear us. Finally they shut up. And I am like totally laughing my head off because Bri and I made it into one corner and Kalyan was in the other one and she got stuck beside walker and that was her partner. It was so hilarious. Now I am totally looking for Margaret and I don't see her so I ask around. I was like “do y'all know where Margaret is?” Then it hit me. Margaret was in the bathroom when the alarm went off I run there and I don't see her. I am now really panicking. The principle reporting over the loud speaker brings me back the real world. She says attention all staff and students a student is missing repeat a student is missing. All I can think is oh no it's Margaret. She is missing. I am so worried. Now Kalyan is screaming for some unknown reason maybe she is having a unicorn attack? It's real and not pretty because she starts screaming they are real and gets on her hands and knees and starts acting like a unicorn and the worst part is she tapes or glues something to her forehead and sometimes she pokes people with it. We are all like why Kalyan why. Sometimes it is funny and I am laughing now just thinking about it well now I'm going home and the day has been a blur. I wish Margaret will come back. I don't know. Now I am going home and, well, tomorrow is a new day. 2 Ok. I am now freaking out. Mrs. Riles announced that the school will be evacuated for 5 weeks. Out of nowhere, Kaylan's cousin Chad yells " Let's go!" He is so strange. But anyways, I should be happy about that except 5 students must stay in the school locked up for those weeks. They are about to announce the names and it's probably going to be me. She is announcing them in 5...4...3...2...1.!!!!!!!!!! It is like the reaping in the hunger games. I am so freaking nervous. Ok first person- Kaylan Parker. Poor Kaylan. Next Briana Williams. Poor bri. Next Blaine Wilson. I really don't care about him. Poor bri and Kaylan they are stuck with him. 4th person, Margaret McCrea. Oh lord. They know someone is missing. But not her. Now I'm scared it's the fifth person and it is Rachel Richardson. No. All I can think right now is no. I am going to be stuck in a hurricane in the school with an idiot. We'll they are now leaving the school and giving us supplies to live. We also get a key to the school and to the elevator. Also any damage done is excused. Yay. That's happy. Knowing if anyone gets mad that will be a good thing especially me or bri gets mad. But I can destroy the school. Yay. Ok everyone is out in there cars and they drive away. I am talking to my mom and I tell her I will be fine and I love her and I'll be good and everything. So now Blaine is running up and down the hallways screaming like an escaped convict. Now at 5 in the evening, Blaine is now sobbing, Kaylan is having another unicorn attack and a wall is being stabbed this time and briana is yelling at them to stop. me on the other hand, I'm sliding down the stairs to get away from the chaos. Another good thing about the evacuation is that the teachers weren't allowed to take anything out of the fridge or their desks. Woo Hoo. So I'm eating an apple and drinking a tropical Gatorade while they are upstairs yelling and fighting. Ah. I am living the #life. Well a #life in a school trapped for 5 weeks. I can't take it for that long. Still no sign of Margaret and now it's 9 and it is bedtime for everyone. We are sleeping in the library where there is carpet and I found like 10 blankets that we are using. So I cannot sleep but I better try. Ok now it is midnight and I am following briana. She is sneaking somewhere. I'm like what is your secret? So I follow her to a locker that I think is hers. Maybe this is our second one. Idk but there is a lot of photos of a guy that shall be unnamed. I refuse to say. But anyways she slams her locker after grabbing a pink heart pillow and starts going around back to the library the short way. I follow her until she goes into the library. I then run around to the other entrance and go in as quiet as I can. To my surprise everyone is awake and is talking. They all say where we're you? I'm all like I had to go check the hallways cause I heard running through the halls. They accept that answer and we play a fun game of truth of dare then eat a lot of French fries and chocolate and drink a ton of coke and then run around the halls screaming FREE WILLY!!!!!!!!!!!!! 3 Ok now Kaylan is missing and no one knows where she is. She was in a ball in the corner when we went to sleep and she is not there now. Uh she shouldn't of slept by the door. Gosh for all we know she could be trying to escape. Probably not but it's a thought. Everyone is taking up a wing of the school and looking. Where we are isn't important so yea. I'm just praying to God we find her. Ok now we are back in the library after searching everywhere but we still haven't found her. But Briana did find something in the elevator. The glass had a chip in it and a piece short black hair in it. Also there was dried blood. We are all really worried now because what if there is an intruder. I am so scared. Actually we all are. There is still no sign of Margaret and we are all about to give up on finding her. Now that we are off the topic of Margaret and now talking about the intruder I stop in the middle of my sentence and almost give Briana a heart attack because she thinks something is wrong but no. I actually hear something. I hear footsteps running upstairs. Heavy footsteps to be exact. I couldn't be Kaylan or could it. I am not too sure. So I instantly get up and head for the door. Briana keeps asking what is wrong and I am just thinking no time for questions but she is getting annoying so I tell her there is someone upstairs. While we split up to go corner the person I hear someone in the stairwell. It is a muffled sound and it can't be from outside because everyone has been evacuated since 3 days ago. It must be coming from the stairwell. Very bravely I step into the stairwell and I don't see anyone. That's weird. I heard something. There it is again the muffled sound. It sounds like it is coming from the closet. I know it's the closet. Never go it the closet. But I have to no matter what. Ok I am inching my way toward the door and I open it. OMG!!!!!!!!! 4 There is a hole in the closet! It looks like it leads to the basement. I guess someone forgot to cover it back up. So the muffled noise is coming from the basement! Briana! Blaine! I found something in the closet! I run straight upstairs and scream at the top of my lungs. To my surprise. They are running to find me too. I wonder what that is all about. Turns out they found a rope in one of the classrooms that is attached to a floor tile. That is weird. Why would that be there. That wasn't there when this started or during school. Who would install that? Margaret is missing before the lockdown, Kaylan disappeared but I doubt she would do this, i didn't install it, so it must be either Briana, Blaine or the intruder! Ok I don't think it is safe to split up anymore but we have to to cover more ground. This would be easier if we had weapons but this was never thought to happen. Now heading back to the library and talking about the clues we found, we enter the library laughing but stop as soon as we look at the tables. There is paper spread everywhere on the tables, books are open, our beds are everywhere on the floor, and our food supplies are everywhere. One book is turned to an old abandoned school. Another is turned to a rope tied to a ceiling. A third book is turned to a dark basement with a bright red furnace glowing. This is getting scary. Who is in here? 5 We all decide not to sleep in the library because there might still be someone in there. We agree with Briana's idea and sleep on the back stairs that no one uses. We all fall asleep around 10 and a sudden noise wakes me up. It sounds like something rolling down the stairs. I get up and shake briana awake. I tell her that I hear something on the stairs. She grabs her flashlight and I take it and shine it down at the bottom. To our surprise Blaine has rolled to the bottom and is still asleep. Uh he is stupid. He lands face down then rolls himself over then wakes up with a jerk. He screams "you let me roll down the stairs?" "Well what were we supposed to do? And it was funny. Sorry" I replied while laughing. "Whatever." He muttered and fell back asleep. 6 I wake up at 5 and not to my surprise, they are still sleeping. I decide not to wake them and I head out to go get more food. I start heading downstairs using the main stairs not wanting to wake them this early. As I head down the stairs I hear a noise behind me. I look and I don't see anything. I start going faster down the stairs wanting to get out of this creepy stairwell. There it is again. That noise. It is those footsteps again. They are large and heavy. I am so scared right now. I wish that this will all be over but I know it won't be anytime soon. We have 4 weeks left in this death trap called a school. It has been a week and no sign of Kaylan or Margaret still. Maybe they are in the basement but I'm not sure. That's where we're checking next. 7 I am going to the back steps because I am definitely not going back up the main stairs. So I run to the back steps and scream "Wake up!" I go up the stairs and I find them sitting on the steps laughing and eating Frosted Flakes. I scream "How can you eat at a time like this?!" They instantly stop eating and tell me to calm down. So I get it together and regain my cool composure. I ask them "How can you be so calm when 2 of our friends are missing, someone is in the school and there is a raging hurricane outside?" Of course they don't have an answer and stare at me blankly. They say and mumble the same answer. "I don't know." Blaine says "How do we even know that someone is here I mean it's like you said, there is a hurricane outside. I could be just the hurricane that we here and our minds are playing tricks on us. I mean who knows unless we search the whole school and even then we can't be certain there are a lot of places to hide. I almost scream. "Does a hurricane have big, clunky footsteps that follow you down the stairs then disappear once you turn around?" "Rachel, calm down. You sound paranoid. How about you stay here and rest and we'll go and search the school and just clear it out. Ok?" Briana sounds a little scared but confident. I agree. I don't know what I'm thinking but she is probably right. So now I am sitting on the steps alone. But I’m not frightened. Not even the least bit. Well, maybe a little. Ok, maybe a lot. I am frightened. I am scared something may come up the stairs and attack. I have a feeling someone is in this school with us and I can’t let them stay for the next 3 weeks. I just can’t. They could kill all of us. We could suffer a wicked and painful death. Oh no, I hear footsteps. They are in the hallway. So I do what my instincts tell me to do. Run! I am so scared I run to the nearest classroom around the corner and run inside. I lock the door so they can’t get in and hide where they can’t see me. I close my eyes then instantly pop them back open. I want to scream, to cry, to just run away and never come back. But that is not an option. I hear something outside the door and I try to keep from making a sound. I try to keep myself under control until they go away. After what seems like forever, I no longer hear the shuffling of feet outside the door. I wait about 10 more minutes to make sure they don’t come back and even though I believe they won’t, I get up very quietly and make my way over to the door. I look outside and look down the hallways like 20 times until I decide it is safe to go out of my hiding place. I go back to the stairs and see that nothing has been touched and it is how I left it 2 hours ago. I am just surprised Blaine and Briana aren’t back yet. I didn’t think the school was this big. All of a sudden I hear a loud crash down the hallway. It sounds like a window or something glass just shattered. The hurricane broke a window. I turn and see a floor full of broken glass. There is something else. Dark splotches of... blood. 8 I almost faint. Not because the blood but because it wasn’t a window. It was a glass display case. There are also footprints that are bloody heading down the hallway. There are two voices in my head that I can follow. One, I can run as fast as I can and hide. Two, Follow the footsteps. Ok, I choose, wait I have another idea. I could, three, Run to the nearest exit, take a heavy object, break the class, then escape into the hurricane. I choose three. Not really. I rather stay here in the dangerous school that is dry and warm than go into the dangerous storm in the rain, sleet and cold. I choose the school. I mean, wouldn’t you? So, being the adventurous and daring person that I am, I choose option two. Taking careful steps around the glass, I make my way down the hall very cautiously. I follow the footsteps until they stop at an intersection. I follow my instincts to the way I think they went. I go right. To my surprise, I was right. I find a piece of cloth near the steps. It looks like a part of a shirt. I decide someone has come here recently and I continue down the hallway. I keep walking until I find that a classroom door is open. I cautiously look inside and I don’t see anything. Then something catches my eye. It looks like sunglasses. The same ones Blaine had on. I know, ridiculous right, sunglasses in a building. I make my way towards the sunglasses and see that Blaine has collapsed on the floor. He appears to be conscious, but cut very bad. He has cuts on his feet and his hands. His shirt is also torn slightly at the bottom. I try not to startle him as I shake him to reality but too late he starts panicking. I sternly tell him to hush and that we need to get to the stairs and find Briana, but he is in no condition to walk. Since the stairs are only a few feet away, I go get a blanket and a first aid kit. Halfway back to the classroom I remember I forgot a pillow. So I run back and get a pillow and some food and water. As soon as get back in the classroom, I see he has tried to move but has failed miserably. I tell him he is in no condition to move but he doesn’t listen. He says he wants to stand and he tries to get on his feet but falls back down. I stifle a laugh and tell him if he keeps trying to move he will start to bleed again. He complies and stays still long enough to be bandaged and for him to take an aspirin. I leave him propped up against a wall with plenty of food and water then lock the door and leave. No one can get in that door and no one can get out without the key which I have in my pocket. I hear another crash but this time it sounds more like a thud then a crash. I don’t have to search anywhere to see that Briana has run into a wall and broke her glasses. I’m wondering if there is someone hurting them if they are just clumsy. I’m thinking that they are clumsy. I don’t know though. So, I shake her and she doesn’t look to bad. She may have bruised her cheekbone but that’s it. It may be sore for a while but she’s way better off than Blaine. I lead her to the classroom where Blaine is and she sits down beside Blaine. I ask them both how they got hurt and it’s the dumbest reasons I have ever heard. Blaine’s is that he heard something spun around to quick and ran into the display case. I tried to stifle another laugh but I can’t and I pretend to have a coughing fit. Briana said that she was running down the hall in socks looking for us, slipped and ran into the wall. I was right, they are clumsy. Briana takes an aspirin because she has a massive headache. I would too if I ran head first into a concrete wall. After eating and talking for a while, it is already night time. We better head to bed to face a new day tomorrow. 9 After sleeping for about 3 hours, I wake up with an abrupt stop. I jerk up due to the dream I was having. I thought it was real #life but when I woke up I was so relieved. There was this man who apparently lived in the basement and he only came out to scare the teachers, students and staff during bad weather. Well he came out one day during the weather and captured Kaylan and took her to the basement. Then the scene completely changed. It was our hallway right before the code red. Margaret was coming out the bathroom and he crept up behind her. He grabbed her and cupped his hand over her mouth so she couldn’t make a sound. He pressed a hidden button and an elevator popped out from its hiding place and went beneath the school to the basement. The scene then changed again. I was in the basement but no one could see me. Margaret and Kaylan were tied to a wooden block in the wall with a rope. He tormented them but not a scratch was on their bodies. He had tools and other victims left on the wall. It was horrifying. I scanned the room and there was only one way out. You would think there would be more exits since there are like 12 entrances. I mean seriously. The only way out though is a tiny air vent in the chamber where he locks up his prisoners. There is a door but it has a lock where you have to put a code I it. I saw him put the code in. It was #IZKILLER2233. I know strange right? Why would it be hashtag IZ KILLER 2233? I mean does he have a twitter or something? That’s when I woke up at midnight. I get up and look down the halls. They are completely empty. I know there is nothing in the shadows because there are none. All the lights are on. I turn on the light and put a blanket over Blaine’s and Briana’s head so they won’t wake up. Too late. They are already awake wondering why I am up so early. I tell them I can’t sleep. They don’t believe me. I tell them about the nightmares I had and they say they understand and that they will stay up too. I say “No. Go back to sleep. I will be fine.” “No you won’t. You are already frightened to the point of death. What if you go missing while we are asleep? It will be on our conscience and we will never forgive ourselves.” Blaine says with sympathy. “I won’t go missing. Y’all need sleep. I don’t. I am perfectly fine while y’all are hurt.” I say in a voice that is sympathetic yet stern. “We are hurt physically while you are hurt mentally. You need rest. We will stay up while you sleep.” Briana says in a commanding tone. “NO!” I bark. “I am perfectly fine. Y’all are in no condition to stay up. Y’all will never get well if you stay up! It is 1 o’clock in the morning go to sleep!” I bark orders like a drill sergeant. I mean business. “I will not sleep! I will not rest while you only have 3 hours of sleep! I will be fine! I can stay up and hold down the fort!” Blaine yells back. “Fine, stay up as long as you want! You are not moving from that wall though! I will not allow it!” I say in a commanding voice. “Who are you telling me what to do? I can do whatever I want! I don’t need your permission!” He yells in a questioning tone. “Fine, go get yourself killed just like Margaret and Kaylan! Don’t you see? We are being hunted down! We will be killed. I don’t need to see my friends die because they were being stupid!” I yell at them both fighting back tears. “We already lost Margaret and Kaylan. It is just us now. We need to stick together. We don’t need to die.” I speak softly now almost in a whisper still holding back tears. “I’m sorry for yelling. How do you know they are dead though? Why do you…” “Shhh.” I say softly cutting Blaine off from finishing his sentence. “Don’t make a sound.” I tell them in a whisper. Outside the room there are footsteps. Not big clunky footsteps that I heard earlier, but light delicate footsteps. Those like a dancers. I hear light knocking on the door and the sound of a girl panting after a run. I turn so I can look out the door. I turn pale because I don’t think it could be true. 10 It’s Margret standing outside of the door. It’s really her. I rush to the door and open in it so only Margaret can get in. She explains how she was lost in the school and finally found a way out of her cage. This is how she explained it after we bombarded her with so many questions. “Well, during the code red, I thought it was a drill so I just shrugged it off and went down the hallway nonchalantly. I was halfway back to Mr. Morales’s class when I was dragged backward. He put his hand over my mouth so my scream for help was muffled. He hit some hidden lever and out of nowhere, an elevator popped out. He dragged me in and then I felt the elevator shooting down at what it felt like 100 miles per hour. He pulled me into what looked like a basement, grabbed a lock and chain and he dragged me back into the elevator. We shot back up and I knew he wasn’t going to let me g back to the hallway. I already knew what he looked like. It would be too risky. The elevator stops and he pushes me out into a dusty attic. I was pushed into a cage and it was locked and chained up. He headed back into the elevator and it shot down like a bullet. He came back when I was sleeping. He gave me food and water and tried to talk but I would not speak. He yelled at me saying that I was a stubborn ox or that I could not speak. After being yelled at I yelled back “Stop yelling at me! I have done nothing to you! Let me go!” He replied mysteriously “Yes, you are correct. You have done nothing to me and I none to you. You will not be set free. I will not until after they all have paid.” I replied “Who? Until who has paid?” I was getting scared. He wouldn't answer me. He just started laughing creepily. He then said "In due time child you will find out who I must get revenge on." "Why won't you tell me now? I demand to know now! Tell me!" I screamed at him. He said, "I will release you when I have gotten my revenge." And here I am now. I still don't know who he got revenge on but apparently It was y'all. That's my story. But one question, why didn't he target Rachel?"
