World’s Mystery - Chapter 71

I was standing in front of the school gate, staring. my legs automatically brought me here (I wondered why) I jumped over the boundary wall and walked through the corridors and finally I was in front of the clubroom. my hand moved towards the handle. I could imagine how lively the room was. mia complaining and cleo making fun of her and max as max trips over stuff and falls down, and jack helps max up while saying how clumsy he is, and anna taking pictures as she smiles behind her camera. the scene which I wanted to see but it wasn’t what I saw when I opened the door in fact it was the last thing i wanted to see. the room looked like a murder scene (literally). but the room didn’t smell like blood… it smelled like paint! i walked around the room covering my nose and mouth with a handkerchief because the paint smell was too intense. one thing stood out in the room, the head on the table. i couldn’t see its face from my position, all i could see was its red hair. i turned the head to see its face.

“it’s me!” i said as i let go and it fell on the floor. “its me” “its my head” i mumbled as i touched the choker around my neck. i couldn’t believe my eyes. i picked up the head and examined it. it looked lifelike, it creeped me out. it even made me wonder if i was dreaming. the hair, the face, the eyes to the mouth it looked exactly like me, in fact if someone else had seen this before me the would have thought that someone had murdered me. but there was one difference, the artist had signed it on its choker. signed as “Luna”. i checked the table where i found the head and found a letter addressed from luna to me. even before I opened it I realised that it all was just another warning and an invitation.
