Chapter 24

I'm still pinned to the floor. I think one of the legs on the table collapsed and some cake fell on the floor near me. I go to grab a small piece but Karen quickly grabs my hand. We have to do something soon. It feels like they are picking us off one by one. I have seen one of the shooters walk by our table. For some reason he doesn’t look our way. He squeezes off a shot back the other way followed by another scream. Somehow the music has stopped; maybe they shot the stereo too. All of a sudden it's very quiet. I hope there are still some of us left. I'm not sure why but for some reason, I stand up. I wait to feel the bullet slam into me, but nothing happens. I look around and don’t see the shooters anywhere, instead there are just bodies and blood on the floor and my Black Forest of course, but I try not to think about that, maybe I'll wait till Karen's not looking. I slowly walk around the table, careful not to step on the cake and run to the first person I see lying on the floor. It's William and he looks unconscious, but he's still breathing. "Karen help." I call out. "William has been hit." I feel my heart lunge forward as I see the next person down, it's Linda and she looks like she didn't make it. Three of her four students are leaning over her shaking their heads and sobbing. I watch as Karen creeps from behind the table as well as Jim and a few others who slowly peek out. I run to the door and shut it, locking the deadbolt, not sure if it will help, but at least it will slow them down for a minute. It feels like everything is happening in slow motion and nothing is real. There appear to be two more fatalities near the front of the room, Joseph and Sarah, two of the twenty-some things we were counting on to carry us forward. This is not a good day for us. I can't believe this has happened. Karen and Jim are working on William, but by their expressions it doesn't look good. I want to run out the door and get as far away from all this as I can, but I can't leave everyone now. I need to be the leader more than ever now.

"There are weapons down in the storage unit near Jim's lab." Evan calls out crawling from behind a table. He's holding his arm. I can see blood oozing from beneath it.

"Are you okay?" I ask looking at his arm.

"I just got grazed. I'm fine." I watch him grab a towel from a nearby table and apply it to his arm. I'm not sure what I feel like doing more fainting or vomiting. "I'll go down there."

"Do you think it's safe? They're probably out there waiting for us." I look at the door.
