Ok, I lied. Here's the next part, lol

***

Eugene slammed a phone receiver down hard.

After they left the parking lot, they immediately went into the two-story reception/office building. First thing they did, was Eugene went over to the phone and tried to call out.

"Phone line's dead," he informed the room of people.

Jon  stood up from where he had been crouching in the corner, holding up a severed cord. "It's been cut. Must have happened while we were out in the parking lot."

"Well we should at least be safe if we all stay together in this cabin," Nikki said.

Jeff suddenly let out a loud laugh. "Nothing we do...nowhere we hide...will be safe from Dillon. It's just a matter of time now."

"We should make a run for it," Aaron suggested. "The highway isn't too far away – should only be about fifteen to twenty minutes on foot. And if this Dillon guy expects us to take the main road, we can go through the forest. We can flag a car down."

"Too dangerous," Jeff stated. "If Dillon were to come after us, a few of the teachers might be able to outrun him, but the kids are ****ed."

"Well maybe we should take that chance."

That caused an uproar from the students and they began shouting bad things at Aaron along the lines of 'Get bent' and 'Go **** yourself.'

After Eugene quieted the kids back down, Jon said, "I agree with Aaron somewhat," and he pressed on when he saw the kids about to start shouting again. "BUT I think we should only send only one or two people out to get help and then send the help back for the others."

"By that time, we'll probably already be dead," Karsen scoffed.

"Nobody is going anywhere alone," Eugene put his foot down. "And we're not leaving the students behind. They’re still in our care."

"Well we have to do something!" Aaron shouted.

Everyone started arguing over what to do, except Jeff, as he stood off to the side, staying out of it. After a moment of raised arguing voices, they are all silenced by a very loud knocking on the front door. Everyone turned and looked at the door in silence.

"Are you sure there were no other kids here?" Eugene asked the teens.

"Positive," Karsen answered in a frightened whisper.

"Who is it?" Eugene shouted out, but received no reply. Behind him, Jeff walked over to the nearby receptionist desk and overturned it, causing some of the others to jump slightly at the loud crashing noise and turn to look. He kicked off one of the long legs, which caused the end to splinter into a near-perfect sharp tip.

The others looked at him as he made his way to the door, turned the handle so the door opened ever-so slightly, and then kicked it wide open, pointing the make-shift weapon out.

They see nothing but the ever-thickening fog that has filled the air the entire day. Jeff let out a sigh of relief, but as he turned to go in, he saw something on the patio in front of the door – whatever it was, it was covered with a dish cloth.

"What is it?" Jon asked, looking over Jeff's shoulder at the object.

"I don't know..." Jeff trailed off as he reached down and whipped the cloth away to reveal a small wooden box with two bloody eyeballs in it. Jeff gagged and jumped back as Melissa whipped around and threw up on the floor of the cabin. Everyone else gasped and covered their mouths or shut their eyes and turned away quickly.

"He's toying with us," Jeff stated as he closed the door, leaving the box of eyeballs outside. "He knows he can come in here at anytime and kill us, and he's just having some fun first."

"The doors to the dining hall can be locked from the inside," Nikki stated. "And they're metal, not wooden like these ones."

Jeff nodded. "Let's go there. It may not do any difference in the end, but it may help a bit until that time comes."

So Jeff, with his table-leg weapon in hand, led Eugene, Jon, Aaron, Nikki, Karsen, Melissa, Ashley, Dane, and Danielle out of the reception cabin and toward the dining hall. Normally they would have been able to see it, but the fog had gotten so thick, they could hardly see three feet in front of themselves.

Despite the thickness of the fog, they all kept their eyes moving in every direction, looking out for any sign of the killer, and kept their ears trained on any noise of the ordinary, no matter how slight.

They managed to make it to the giant dining hall building without any incident, and the second they were all in, Jeff slammed the metal doors shut and locked them multiple times over. When he turned back around, the others were finding some seats at a couple tables, to sit at and he joined them.

"So what now?" Ashley asked.

"Now we bide some time while we think of our next move," Eugene answered. "We're safe in here, so we won't have to worry about being attacked."

"I'm going to the kitchen to get us some food," Aaron stated as he stood up. "I'm sure most of you are as hungry as I am by now." That put a smile on all the students' faces and Aaron walked across the large room and disappeared through a door that led to the area behind the counter that food was served on.

"So what's the new plan?" Nikki asked.

"I don't know," Eugene sighed.

"Dillon won't let us leave until he kills all of us or we kill him," Jeff said. "No point in coming up with a plan that doesn't involve one of..."

He was suddenly cut off by Aaron's loud scream from inside the kitchen. Everyone leaped out of their seats and rushed across the room, through the doors, and into the kitchen where Aaron was back up, face frozen in horror.

"Th...th...there..." he stammered in fear as he pointed a shaking finger at the stove where several pots rested.  Jeff pushed past everyone and moved up to the pots, taking a deep breath before taking the lids off of them, one-by-one.

Inside the first was a stew, long-gone cold. In the second was some vegetables. Jeff never made it to the fourth, as in the third, mixed with the creamy stew, was Ryan's severed head, eye sockets empty. Jeff's eyes widened, but he fought hard to stay in control.

"He's in here..." Jeff whispered.

"What?" Nikki asked, nobody having heard Jeff's whispered.

"He's in here!" Jeff said loudly as he whipped around to face them. "We have to get out!"

"But we're safe in here!" Melissa tried to argue. "He can't get in."

"All we did," Jeff explained, trying not to let panic take over, "Is lock ourselves in with him..."

"What was in that pot?" Eugene asked. Jeff glared at him for a second before stepping aside. As soon as the principal glanced in, he covered his mouth and gagged as he stumbled back. "We have to get out of here, now," he ordered once he regained his composure.

Led by Jeff, everyone marched out of the kitchen and back into the main room, walking quickly across the empty room toward the large metal entrance doors.

Near the entrance doors however, was the hallway leading to the bathrooms. And out of this hallway calmly, scythe gripped tightly in both hands, sideways, stepped Grim Reaper, suit partly burned, blocking their path to the doors.

"Run!" Jeff screamed so loud his voice went hoarse.

"Leave us alone!" Melissa shouted at the killer as the group split apart to run in different directions. When Grim Reaper started taking slow, deliberate steps towards her, Melissa also turned and ran, making her way to the far end of the room, throwing plastic chairs back behind her whenever she came near one.

Danielle slammed opened the door into the kitchen and rushed to the stove, grabbing the giant metal pot filled with soap and Ryan's eyeless head. She grimaced for a second when she saw the head, but quickly looked up from it and ran back out into the main room, throwing the contents of the pot all over Grim Reaper just as he was passing by. Ryan's head slammed hard into the side of Grim Reaper's head, his costume now soaked in the soap liquid.

Grim Reaper stopped his pursuit of Melissa an turned his hooded head to stare directly at his attacker.

"Oh ****..." Danielle whispered. She threw the empty pot at Grim Reaper, who ducked around it and lunged toward her. Danielle shut her eyes, knowing the end was mere seconds away, but Jeff slammed his entire body into Grim Reaper, knocking him away and slamming him hard against a metal food trolley and slammed his head a few times, as hard as he could, into the top metal rack.

By the time Jeff leaped off of the killer and turned back around, the others had all reached the entrance doors, and he quickly joined them while Grim Reaper slowly got back to his feet.

Out in the damp foggy day, the group ran as quickly as they could from the dining hall.

"We have to get out of here!" Dane shouted the obvious.

"This way!" Aaron took point and quickly led them onto a dirt trail that went into the forest.

Following the path for several minutes, never slowing down, they emerged out onto a sandy beach, next to a giant lake. Once out of the forest and onto the beach, they all slowed to a stop to catch their breaths. Jeff never took his eyes off of the trail behind them.

"Now what?" Ashley asked, breathing heavy.

"The fog is really thick today," Nikki said. "I don't think he saw us come down this way."

"So we should be safe as long as we stay quiet, right?"

"No place here is safe," Jeff chimed in.

"There's a pay phone," Nikki explained. "Back at camp, It's hard to spot though. If this Dillon guy doesn't know his way around the grounds, he probably missed it. I'm going to make a run for that phone. It's near the gate entrance."

"No, we all stay together," Jeff said. "Only way to know we're all still alive."

"Jeff, that may be our only hope," Nikki argued with her fellow teacher.

"I can go with her," Aaron offered.

"Fine," Jeff sighed. "But stay close to each other."

"I'll go with them, too." Eugene spoke up.

"You see any sign of Dillon, get your asses back here right away," Jeff said.

The other three teachers nodded and then walked back onto the trail in the woods and was soon swallowed up by the thick, white, fog.

"So what are we going to do?" Jon Jordine asked.

 "Survive."

***

 Nikki, Aaron, and Eugene, emerged from the walking trail back out into the camp grounds. They cautiously made their way past the cabins, eyes peeled, straining to see through the fog for any sign of the killer.

They next past the dining hall building, followed shortly by the reception cabin. When they entered the parking lot, they all stopped and listened intently.

"Seems safe," Eugene stated and the trio moved on again, walking along the gravel road that the buses departed on earlier, quickly going around a corner of trees and leaving view of the camp grounds once again.

After another ten minutes of cautious walking, they reached a small rusting road gate, which was nothing more then a long metal pole that could stretch across the entire road, but was left wide open from when the buses left. Beyond was just more gravel road going through more forest.

"Where's the phone?" Aaron asked, looking around at the trees surrounding them on either side. He could see nothing by the gate itself.

"One of the nearest trees to the gate," Nikki explained. On the back of it should be a glass booth with a pay phone."

While Aaron started examining the trees on one side of the road, Eugene worked on the other. Almost instantly, the principal exclaimed excitedly, "I found it!" Aaron joined Nikki back on the road as Eugene looked at them. "Anyone got a quarter?"

Before either of them had the chance to even think about answering, the glass around Eugene shattered and a scythe blade tore deep into his frail neck, spraying the other side of the glass in a geyser of thick dark blood. Grim Reaper tugged his scythe out of the now-dead body and turned to stare directly at the other two teachers.

"Run!" Aaron yelled and the two of them did so – although in different directions. Nikki instantly ran off the road and into the cover of the forest, getting whipped in the face and legs by many branches that acted as whips, while Aaron stuck to the road and followed it back toward the camp grounds as fast as he could.

***

Back on the beach, Jeff, Jon, Karsen, Dane, Melissa, Ashley, and Danielle walked together in one large group, moving further down the beach, away from the view of the trail in case the killer decided to check the area out.

Out of the fog in front of them, came the stationary life guard tower, the white plastic seat held high in the air.

"Is there someone up there?" Dane asked.

"Don't be foolish," Jon scolded. "There's nobody else here but us."

"I'm pretty sure there is," Dane pursued, squinting his eyes.

"He's right," Jeff agreed. "I can see something up there, but can't tell what."

"Hello?" Dane called up as they neared, but got no answer.

"Maybe it's not a person," Danielle suggested, shivering in the cold fog.

"Stay here," Jeff said to the others as he went to the ladder of the tower and started climbing.

Danielle shivered in the cold once more.

"Are you cold?" Dane asked. Danielle nodded. "Here." Dane removed his jacket and gave it to Danielle, who put it on, which was about two sizes too big for her, and hugged herself for warmth.

"Thanks," she smiled.

"Oh god!"

Everyone whipped their heads up to the source of the noise – Jeff up on top of the life guard tower, and they watched as he climbed half-way back down quickly and then jumped the rest of the way down.

"The beach isn't safe anymore," Jeff informed them.

"Why? What's up there?" Jon asked.

"Robert," he explained, then for the sake of the kids knowing, he added, "Mr. Pierce. He's dead."

"But we don't know how long he's been up there. Could be days."

"Could be, but how sure of that are we? Dillon could be here right now," Jeff said in a slightly-panicked voice.

"It's you he wants!" Karsen suddenly shouted at Mr. Long, fear taking control. "It's because of you this has all happened before, and it's because of you that it's happening again! I'm staying away from you!" Karsen turned and started running up across the beach, heading for the tree line.

"Karsen!" everyone started shouting to get his attention, but he ignored them and soon disappeared into the thickness of the forest.

"Come on," Jeff said. "If he doesn't want to come with us, that's his funeral. We don't have the time to chase after an ungrateful little brat."

"**** you!" Melissa shouted at him. "Karsen's my best friend! I'm going to go get him."

"I'll come with you," Dane suggested, then turned to Jeff. "Strength in numbers, right?"

Jeff sighed. "We're going to go hide in a random cabin – Dillon could guess we would go to the dining hall and reception cabin, but if we pick a sleeping cabin at random, there's no way he can guess. You guys probably won't be able to find us again."

"That's ok," Dane said. "Once we get Karsen we'll find a place to hide out."

Jeff nodded as Ashley moved forward to hug her two friends. "Stay safe guys," she said as she broke apart and wiped tears from her eyes.

Melissa and Dane turned and ran up into the forest close to the area that Karsen did.

"Alright, let's get moving," Jeff said to Jon, Ashley, and Danielle and the four of them made their way back up the beach toward the trail they took coming down.

***

Nikki emerged out of the forest into the middle of a path leading to a nearby low but long and narrow building – the indoor swimming pool. She glanced back behind her, but couldn't see too far back through the fog, so listened intently; she could hear the sound of branches snapping and someone moving quickly through the forest not far behind.

She looked down the path in the opposite direction, but couldn't see how far it went before it reached the camp grounds, so she turned and ran down it toward the swimming pool building.

As soon as she reached the door, she glanced a look back behind her and could see Grim Reaper emerging out onto the path, but looking in the opposite direction. She let out a quick and quiet gasp as she quickly opened the door and ran inside, locking the door behind her.

Nikki glanced around the windowless room for a hiding spot, but didn't see much. The entire building was just one giant room with the still water of the swimming pool taking up 98% of it, and the rest being the concrete around the pool. She spotted a tall metal locker and rushed over to it, opening it.

"****!" she whispered loudly. Her hopes of hiding in it were dashed though as it was filled with shelves of various swimming toys.

A loud splintering noise caused her to whip her head around with a short scream and she spotted the sharp scythe blade leaving the hole it made in the wooden door and then slam back through it again, widening the hole and causing splinters of wood to go flying. When the scythe extracted this time, a fist slammed into the hole, widening it, and the hand started to break apart some of the wood, leaving a hole big enough for Grim Reaper to slide through and into the swimming pool building.

Nikki quickly glanced around the room again, this time looking for another exit, but the only way out was through the door that Grim Reaper was entering through. She looked at the swimming pool, then glanced back at Grim Reaper, who was now fully inside the building. She turned and ran toward the swimming pool, diving off the edge and deep under the water in the deep end.

Under the water, she kicked off her shoes so she could swim easier and turned only to see Grim Reaper also enter the deep end of the pool. She let out a scream under the water, dozens of bubbles exiting her mouth and floating quickly to the surface.

Nikki turned and tried to swim to the surface for air, while also making her way quickly back to the side to get out of the water, as her plan failed. At the same time, however, Grim Reaper was swimming fluently through the water behind her and closing fast.
 
She broke the surface, but before she could even make a gasp for air, Grim reaper gripped her leg tightly and instantly pulled her back down under the water. She started kicking franticly and during her struggle, she floated around so she was face-to-face with Grim Reaper.

They were in a shallower area of the pool by this point and Grim Reaper reached to the bottom of the pool to a hose that was laying there. He brought it up and wrapped it tightly around Nikki's leg and let the struggling young teacher go. She tried swimming to the surface again, but the hose kept her just inches away from it.

Grim Reaper surfaced and exited the pool, dripping water from his suit, as the teacher dived back down to try to free her leg. The killer stood by the edge of the water, watching the teacher below the surface struggle to free herself.

It was less then a minute until the teacher's body went limp as she drowned, and floated toward the surface, being kept just under it once again by the hose.

So I'm updating all my old stories, but I can't decide which one to update after School Day 3, so I want you guys to let me know which one you'd be most interested in reading.

Terror in the Tunnels - A bunch of cops find out about giant alligators living in the tunnels under New York and must stop them before they reach the surface.

Bugs - A group of friends go camping in the woods one weekend, only to become under attack by a hive of giant killer bugs.

Invisible Killer - A father brings his kid camping and they go to a well-known camp ground area, but while there, people start getting killed off, right in front of others without any sight of the killer. They later find out the area is haunted by a very evil ghost.

Slash - Another teen slasher, similar to School Day but not contained to any one specific are and general, just all over the town. The killer wears a goblin mask and leaves behind cryptic notes.

Crimson Moon - Pretty much a werewolf version of From Dusk Till Dawn. A group of brothers on the run from the law, with hostages in tow, stop at a gas station in the middle of nowhere to get a bite to eat, only to get attacked by an angry biker gang that turns out to be a werewolf pack.

The DinoHunters - A group of people go to a mysterious island virtually unknown to the rest of the world, to hunt dinosaurs that are still alive on it.

I know there are others, but those are the only ones I can think up off the top of my head, and I'm sure that's more then enough to get a good start on, lol

The alligator one sounds cool. And the werewolf one! Those both sound really interesting.

Karsen rushed through the thick forest, brushing branches out of his path and leaping over a fallen tree trunk. Shortly after he cleared that, he tripped over a decent-sized rock sticking up out of the ground that was camouflaged by a patch of moss covering it, and Karsen went sprawling to the forest floor. While he was down there, he started hearing twigs snapping behind him, as if someone was running quickly toward him.

"No!" He pushed himself back up, but before he could start running again, a hand grabbed his shoulder and whipped him around.

Facing him were his friends Dane and Melissa. He let out a long sigh of relief.

"What's the matter with you!?" Dane shouted.

"I'm not going back to that camp," Karsen stated, "and I'm not staying on that beach. As long as we're not with Jeff, we should be safe, but even if we aren't, hiding deep in the middle of the forest, far away from any path or buildings, we should be safe."

"He's got a point," Melissa agreed. "We're probably the safest people at this camp right now."

"What about Ashley and Danielle?" Dane asked.

"**** them," Karsen said. "We were never friends with Danielle, and if Ashley is stupid enough to stay with them then that's her own fault. Now come on, we have to get deeper into the woods."

***

Jon Jordine exited the bathroom of one of the many sleeping cabins, the toilet flushing behind him. Danielle and Ashley sat together on the large couch, while Jeff kept peeking out the window, searching for any sign of the killer nearby.

"I wonder if the teachers got a call for help out," Ashley said.

"If they did, they'll return to the beach and find us gone," Jon suddenly realized.

"I thought of that," Jeff stated. "Unfortunately, there's not much we can do about it. Hopefully they can find a safe place to hide out in, like us."

Danielle let out a long yawn. "I'm so tired..." she said after she finished.

"If you want, lay down and try to get some sleep," Jeff said. "We seem to be safe for now, and who knows when we'll be able to rest again after this. I suggest you all get some rest. I'll keep watch."

"We'll take shifts," Jon said. "I'll relieve you in a couple hours."

Jeff nodded as Jon headed off into one room to sleep and Ashley and Danielle headed off into another.

***

Karsen, Dane, and Melissa continued to wander aimlessly through the forest, a few hours having past since they first met up. The fog was starting to thin, however night was quickly approaching as the light of day was passing into dark blue, and soon to be followed by the blackness of night.

"It's going to be dark soon," Dane stated.

"So?" Karsen asked.

"Wolves," Dane answered. "I don't know about you, but coming across a pack of hungry wolves in the middle of the forest at night isn't any better then coming across that Grim Reaper guy."

"I don't want to come across wolves..." Melissa complained.

"Oh my god, shut up!" Karsen shouted at her, annoyed with having to hear her constantly complain for the last several hours, almost non-stop.

"Cut her some slack," Dane defended her. "I think we should try to find out way back to camp."

"Are you insane?!" Karsen yelled.

"Look, at least back at camp, we can find a building to hide out in. Out here, we may be safe from the killer, but we're a buffet waiting to happen for a pack of wolves or a bear or something."

Karsen stepped up into Dane's face, eyes locked on his, not backing down. Suddenly a twig snaps not too far away and everyone turns in that direction.

"What was that?" Karsen asked as a chill went down all their spines. Melissa cowered even more, fighting the urge not to run off from the others.

"Could be just some harmless animal..." Dane tried to suggest as he turned around to stand next to Karsen. A dark shape rose up from a slight decline behind the three of them.

Karsen turned to look around them and instantly stopped when he saw Grim Reaper standing only a few feet away, holding a giant rock in both hands. He let out a blood-curdling scream and the others whipped around.

"Oh ****!" Melissa screamed and the three of them turned to run away, but Grim Reaper swung his foot out and hooked it around Karsen's, making him trip and fall back to the ground again. He rolled over onto his back just in time to have the large rock smash down on his face, caving his head in to a pulpy mess of brains, blood, and bone.

Grim Reaper looked back up, and even though Dane and Melissa were long gone, they were making quite a lot of noise as they ran through the forest.

***

Jeff was still guarding the front door of the cabin that he, Jon, Ashley, and Danielle were hiding in when Danielle came out, yawning. It had been a few hours since they first entered the cabin, and even though Jon was supposed to have taken over watch duty, Jeff knew he needed rest and so he had let him sleep longer.

"How was your nap?" Jeff asked.

"Restless," his student answered. "How are things going out here?"

"No sign of Dillon so far."

Danielle walked over to Jeff and joined him by the window. "So you really went through all this before?"

"Yeah," Jeff answered. "Twice."

"How?"

"Luck."

"Do you think we'll survive this?"

Jeff turned to look at her. "Honestly, I don't know, but I'd say our chances are significantly better right now."

"Did you want me to take the next watch?" Danielle asked. "Mr. Jordine is still sleeping, and you've got to be tired."

"You know, maybe I..." the rest of his sentence was drowned out by the noise of glass shattering, followed quickly by a high-pitch scream coming from Ashley.

Jeff and Danielle met Jon in the hall and the three rushed into the other bunk room, flipping on the lights only to find a pile of broken glass form the window on the floor, with Ashley's lifeless body half on the top bunk and half hanging over the edge, her arms severed and laying on the floor in a pool of blood.

"Dillon!" Jeff shouted. "I'm here! Leave the others alone! Come and get me!"

"Gladly." said a muffled whispered voice. The door slammed closed behind them and Grim Reaper was there, his scythe in his hand.

"Take me, Dillon!" Jeff shouted, putting himself between the killer and the others. "I'm the one you want!" With that, Jeff charged forward and slammed his body against the killer's knocking them both back against the door.

"Come on, girl!" Jon shouted to Danielle and they turned toward the shattered window. He hoisted Danielle up, who knocked away some of the loose glass, and then climbed through the window and landed on the ground outside.

Before Jon jumped up, he risked a glance back, and he saw Grim Reaper, having had his scythe knocked out of his hands, in a tussle with Jeff, both of them slamming the other against walls and punching and kicking. Grim Reaper currently had the upperhand, throwing Jeff head-first into the wall.

Jon turned back around and hauled himself up onto the window ledge and then also outside to join Danielle.

Jeff slammed an elbow into the side of Grim Reaper's head, knocking him off of himself, and then grabbed his head and slammed it as hard as he could against the closed door, leaving a dent in it. Then he picked Grim Reaper's head up again and slammed it as hard as he could against the door again. Then again and again and again, until there was a hole in the door and Grim Reaper's head was through it.

Jeff stepped back and waited. After not moving for two minutes, Jeff turned and made his way through the window as well, however once he got to the ground on the other side, Jon and Danielle were already gone.

Where did they go? Jeff wondered to himself. He felt like calling their names, but he knew that the killer was only temporarily unconscious and could wake up any second, and the last thing eh wanted to do was start giving away his position – or theirs when they answer.

As he ran through some foliage behind the cabin and emerged onto a trail leading to the main part of camp from another cabin, he realized where they may have gone. The dining hall was still the most fortified and safe building, and they knew the killer was back in the cabin, thus he couldn't be waiting inside like last time.

Jeff knew Jon was a really smart teacher and must have figured that out when trying to think of a new hiding place. Jeff started jogging up the trail, now with a destination in mind.

***

Dane and Melissa wandered back onto the camp grounds from a random point of the forest. Melissa stopped to catch her breath, breathing very heavily.

"We can't stop now!" Dane shouted at her. "The killer could be right behind us!"

"But..."

"Come on," Dane grabbed Melissa's arm and helped her run again. "We'll go with Mr. Long's plan – we'll find a random cabin and hide out there. With any luck, it may even be the one that the others are hiding in."

Melissa nodded her head and found the energy to keep running.

***

Jon and Danielle sat at a table in the middle of the dining hall, both sets of eyes never leaving the front door. Suddenly it opened and they both jumped to their feet, but let out a sign of relief as Jeff ran in.

"Why the hell isn't this door locked?" Jeff demanded as he closed it behind him.

"Look at it yourself," Jon said back. "The killer must have destroyed it so if we did come back here, we wouldn't be able to lock the door. John walked up to the door and showed Jeff the broken lock.

"****," Jeff swore under his breath.

"I'm guessing Ms. Kupchanko, Mr. Tilly, and Mr. Wittcopf didn't make it to the phone," Danielle said from her spot back at the table. "Otherwise help would have been here by now."

"But he's been after us the entire time," Jeff said. "That doesn't make any sense...unless..."

"What?" Jon asked.

"Unless there's two of them," Jeff replied. "Maybe he has a partner this time."

"That's insane," Jon said. "He's certifiably crazy. Who would he get to help him?"

"I don't know," Jeff admitted. "I was more or less just thinking out loud, but you're probably right. That doesn't seem to make much sense."

All of a sudden, the door slammed opened, knocking Jeff across the floor. Jon's eyes opened wide as Grim Reaper stepped in and immediately turned his scythe upside down and impaled the teacher on it, spraying blood across the floor behind him, and then proceeded to use his weapon to lift him up off the floor. He then flicked his wrist and the teacher's body flew off the blade and half-way across the room, almost hitting the screaming Danielle.

A plate shattered against Grim Reaper's head, making him wince and whip around to see Jeff standing by the utensil cart, which was also filled with plates and bowls. Jeff threw another plate, like a frisbee, and it shattered against Grim Reaper's face, making him stumble back in pain.

"Danielle! The exit, now!" Jeff shouted as he kept tossing plates at the killer, making him back up more and more, distracting him.

Danielle listened to the last remaining teacher and ran for the exit. Once she reached it, Jeff joined her, but not before sliding a knife into his pocket. They exited the building and ran as quickly as they could through the dark night air, hopefully leaving Grim Reaper behind, but Jeff knew better.

Dane and Melissa were hiding inside one of the bunk cabins, much like the others did earlier.  Dane was glancing out the window when he turned back to Melissa who was standing nervously nearby.

"I don't think he saw us come in here," Dane said, in regards to the Grim Reaper that had been chasing them back in the woods.

"How can you be sure?"

"He'd be here by now," Dane said. "I'm sure of it."

"Urg," Melissa moaned. "I probably look like a trainwreck. I'll be right back." Melissa walked out of the main room, into the hall, and then into one of the bedrooms to check herself out in the mirror.

While she was looking at herself in the mirror, squinting her eyes to see herself in the darkness, a bit of red caught her attention from behind her, and she whipped around and screamed. This was the cabin that Ian had been killed in, and his bunk was still covered in his blood.

Dane came running into the room, fists raised, ready for action. "What is it?" he asked as he barged in.

"Nothing," Melissa answered and Dane sighed. "Just I think this is one of the cabins that someone died in, look..." Melissa points and Dane sees the bed. "I don't feel comfortable staying here anymore."

Dane nodded, understanding, but before he could say anything, the front door opened and closed and the two teens looked at each other and exchanged glances.

"Hello?" Dane called out, thinking that maybe it was Mr. Long and the others, but when no answer came, he knew they were stuck in the cabin with the killer.

"There's someone in here..." Melissa whispered.

"I'll go out and see," Dane said.

"No!" Melissa argued in a loud whisper.

"He can't come after both of us," Dane said. "Plus maybe it was just the wind."

"It's not windy..."

But Dane ignored her as he stepped out of the room and made his way down the hall, inch-by-inch, ready to run at any second.

Melissa wanted to glance out the bunk room and look to see if Dane was ok, but she was too scared that Grim Reaper would jump out at her. "Dane?" Melissa whispered loudly from inside the bunk room. "Dane, are you ok?"

Dane didn't answer, but she didn't know if it was because he was dead, or because he just couldn't hear her. She started to move closer to the doorway to try calling again, but a dark shape moved into it, blocking her path. The shape stepped into the room, lit up by the moonlight outside.

As soon as Melissa saw that it was Grim Reaper, she instantly reached for a pair of scissors on the desk right next to her and held them out like a weapon.

"I'm warning you," she warned the killer. Grim Reaper just swung his scythe out and sliced her fist off from her hand, the hand holding the scissors clunked to the floor as Melissa screamed and blood pumped out of her stump. Grim Reaper reached down and picked up the hand that still clutched the scissors and rammed the metal object into Melissa's eyes.

"Melissa! No!" Dane shouted, having popped his head around the corner just in time to see his friend get murdered, the pair of scissors and the severed hand still attached to them, sticking out of her eye sockets as her body fell backwards.

Grim Reaper whipped around, but Dane was already on his way out the main door of the cabin.

***

Jeff and Danielle jogged through the dark camp grounds.

"Where are we going?" Danielle asked.

"My classroom cabin," Jeff replied.

"How far away is it?"

"Just up the path a..." Jeff trailed off as he and Danielle stopped on the spot. Grim Reaper walked toward them out of the darkness.

"****!" Danielle screamed as Jeff gasped.

***

Dane ran into one of the classroom cabins and just as the door opened behind him and Grim Reaper walked in, he ducked down behind the large teacher desk, putting his back up against it, sweat dripping profusely from his head.

Grim Reaper slowly moved his head back and forth, scanning the seemingly-empty classroom. Dane silently started counting in his head, to keep himself somewhat calm. The Grim Reaper would find the room empty and leave any...

Dane's thoughts were interrupted by having the teacher's desk start to tip over on top of him. He made a dash to get out of the way, but was too slow and only managed to get the top half of his body out from behind the teacher's desk as it crashed over and pinned him to the floor.

Dane, in a panic, began to push up to slide out form under the desk, but Grim Reaper put a heavy foot on top of the desk, putting weight on it and keeping Dane trapped. Then he swung his scythe downwards with great force, and the blade crunched right through Dane's spine.

***

"Run!" Jeff shouted and he and Danielle turned and started running back up the trail from the way they had just come. While on the path, they start passing by a couple classroom cabins. A second Grim Reaper walks out from one, blood on his scythe, and blocks their path. Jeff's eyes widen as he looks back, to see one Grim Reaper walking toward them, then back ahead again to see a second blocking their path.

"No!" Jeff gasped. "This isn't possible..."

Once the first Grim Reaper reaches them, both raise their scythes and point them at Jeff and Danielle.

"Walk..." One of the Grim Reapers say in a scratchy and muffled voice. The Reapers, one in front and the other behind, both facing the hostages, lead them down a side-path for a minute until they reach the main two-storied reception cabin.

"Walk inside..." the same Grim Reaper commanded and all four of them entered the building.

The first Grim Reaper flipped on the light switch and Jeff could see the Grim Reapers more clearly now.  One suit was partly burnt while the other was just normal grey, with an almost new look to it.

"Who the **** are you?" Danielle shouted.

Jeff looked at the Grim Reaper with the burnt suit and nodded his head in greeting. "Dillon. Long time, no see."

That Grim Reaper turned around to lock the door, then slice the locking mechanism off with his scythe blade so it couldn't be unlocked. Then eh turned back around and removed his head, showing that it is indeed Dillon. "No escaping this time," he growled.

"Who did you manage to talk into this?" Jeff asked, as Danielle never took her eyes off the second killer. "Who did you find that was as ****ed up as you?"

"Later," Dillon said. "Pay back time for that pipe first,"

"Allison did that," Jeff reminded Dillon.

"Oh, and she'll get hers, trust me."

"Why can't you just leave us alone?" tears started coming from Danielle's eyes.

"Because..." Dillon never got to finish, as the second he turned to look at Danielle, she jumped up and kicked him in the head, catching him off guard and knocking him back several feet. Then she punched him in his gut and slammed her fist into hi head, knocking him down.

At that moment, Jeff turned and rammed into the second Grim Reaper, knocking him backwards, crashing hard into the corner of the desk. Jeff punched his face hard, which knocked the hood off, revealing Aaron under it.

"Aaron!" Jeff gasped.

"Mr. Long, hurry up!" Jeff turned and saw Danielle on the staircase, motioning for him to join her. Jeff punched Aaron again and then turned and ran up the creaking stairs with Danielle.

"Find them!" Dillon shouted angrily as he got back to his feet and Aaron moaned, getting to his feet. Neither had seen them go up the stairs, and this cabin was one of the larger ones, with multiple rooms.

Aaron and Dillon moved in opposite directions, looking behind every desk, every couch, every door...looking everywhere they possibly could...on the first floor. "So you want to know why I'm doing this, I suppose!" Aaron shouted out.

"What are you doing!?" Dillon snapped at him. "Just find them! Don't give them your life story!"

"They'll think my guard is down," Aaron explained. "And then jump out to attack, but I'll be waiting."

Dillon just rolled his eyes. "Amateur."

"I'll tell you why!" Aaron shouted out as he returned to going room-to-room, searching everywhere. "My last name isn't Wittcopf, it's Tucker! You killed my sister Jolene, my cousin Steven, and countless other innocents, all so you could do research for your damn book! Unfortunately for you, Dillon survived your massacre."

Aaron walked back out into the main room and glance dup the stairs. After a pause, he started to move up them. "I had been looking for answers about that University massacre for years, but the police wouldn't release any details. That is, until Dillon replied to a post I made on the net about it. He told me the true story of what happened."

Just as Aaron neared the top of the stairs, Jeff jumped out from around the corner and rammed right into him with a yell. The two of them tumbled head over heels back down the stairs, coming to a painful stop at the bottom. They both got to their feet around the same time, Aaron retrieving his scythe, which had closed back up. In a split second, he pushed the button to extend the blade back out and swung it, missing Jeff by a mere centimeter. Dillon walked out from around the corner, glanced at the two of them, and then made his way up the stairs.

"What bull**** has Dillon been telling you?" Jeff asked, his eyes following Dillon up the stairs before returning to Aaron. "He was the one killing everyone! And my book is based off the events from the first school he trapped me and my friends in! Not the university!"

"Enough of your lies!" Aaron shouted.

"Ok, then answer me this," Jeff argued. "If he was only in it for revenge against me, why did he have all these innocent people murdered too?"

"Oh please, you'll have to try harder then that," Aaron chuckled. "Darrell and Charlene walked in on me and Dillon talking about it all, so naturally they had to be taken care of. Then we went after Ryan next, as he was one of your accomplices, but stupid little Robert got in the way. Then we had to go after Ian cause he saw Dillon, and Katie because she believed Ian, and we were sure the two of them would catch your attention with all their 'Grim Reaper is here!' nonsense. Their deaths ended up being the perfect way to get all the other people out of here. We planned on only destroying your engine so the others could get away, leaving only you here, but I guess Dillon didn't know which car was yours and just went after all of them to be safe. Everyone else was potential witlessness and had to be taken care of accordingly."

"The fact that Dillon trapped all these innocent people here on purpose didn't throw you off at all?" Jeff asked Aaron.

"Well of course I didn't agree with it, all he had to do was ask me which one was yours, but what was done, was done."

"NOTHING about his story makes any sense!" Jeff shouted.

"I found the damn kid," Dillon said as he walked down the stairs, holding the scythe blade to Danielle's back.

Jeff could see a flicker of doubt flash across Aaron's eyes as he ran through all the events in his head, this time giving Jeff's side of the story some merit.

"Aaron," Jeff said more softly. "Has anything I've done here over the last couple days shout 'serial killer' to you? I've been protecting everyone! Now, what about Dillon? What does his actions over the last few days say?"

Dillon and Danielle reached Aaron and Jeff and Aaron glanced at Dillon. "He's making a bit of sense..." Aaron said a bit weakly.

"He's good at playing mind games!" Dillon explained. "Don't fall for them!"

"But why did..."

"Just shut up and kill him!" Dillon shouted, loosing his patience. "I'll take care of the brat."

Dillon started to walk away with Danielle, but stopped on the spot when he heard Aaron say defiantly, "No."

"What?" Dillon growled as he turned his head back around.

"I said no," Aaron stood his ground, turning to stand next to Jeff and facing Dillon.

Dillon sighed, "Fine," and shoved Danielle out of the way and whipping around, slashing his scythe out at Aaron, but Aaron just blocked with his own scythe.

"I can't believe you manipulated me like that!" Aaron shouted as he swung his scythe overtop for Dillon's and slammed the back of it into Dillon's chest, knocking him back a few feet. Dillon raised his and swung it down hard, but Aaron jumped out of the way, only to have Dillon lift it up and swing again, however Aaron managed to block it once more.

"You were so easy," Dillon sneered, and then they entered another mini-duel with the scythes. Blades swung, and some attacks were blocked and others were dodged. Dillon decided he had had enough, and while Aaron currently held Dillon's scythe down by having his on top, Dillon leaned in and punched Aaron in the face.

Aaron flew back off his feet, his scythe leaving his grasp and flying across the room. Before he had a chance to get back up, Dillon raised his scythe in one fluid motion and swung it down, ramming it down through Aaron's chest, pinning him to the floor. Blood spat up out of Aaron's mouth before his head tilted to the side and he died.

Dillon whipped around to take care of Jeff and Danielle, but they were gone. However, he noticed that the door to one of the other rooms was now opened, when he distinctly remembered closing it.

"Come out, come out, wherever you are," Dillon chanted with a sneer as he approached the opened door.

"Fine," Jeff said as he slid out from the room, picked up Aaron's fallen scythe which had landed hear the area, jumped back to his feet and swung the weapon out, catching Dillon off-guard and sticking the blade deep into Dillon's stomach.

Dillon's eye's widened and blood started to trickle form the edge of his mouth as blood also seeped out around the edge of the scythe blade. "Nothing...I've never...survived... before..." Dillon said while gurgling on his own blood. He raised his own scythe.

Jeff's eyes widened and he turned to run, but Dillon swung the scythe down, striking Jeff and crumpling him to the floor in a scream of pain. Danielle watched from around the corner, eyes going wide.

Dillon hovered above Jeff, removing the scythe from his chest and allowing the blood to flow freely.  Jeff was a bloody heap on the floor, clutching his side in pain, where the scythe had struck him.

A very large sneer crossed Dillon's face as he swung both scythes down on Jeff, ending his life.

"Noooo!" Danielle screamed and jumped out, using her nails to scratch at Dillon's face, which caught him off-guard and caused him to back up and drop one of the scythes. One of Danielle's nails scratched along one of Dillon's eyeball and he screamed, dropping his own scythe and using both hands to shove Danielle back.

She tripped over Jeff's body and fell to the floor, but she scrambled to take the knife from Jeff's pocket that he had grabbed back in the dining hall and leaped back to her feet.

As soon as Dillon pulled his hands away from his eyes, she rammed the knife up, digging into deep into Dillon's neck. He tried to scream, but no sound came out. Both of his hands went up to remove the object from the middle of his neck, blood squirting out from the new wound.

"You'll pay for that, you ****!" he rasped, but Danielle was gone.

Dillon turned around to see if she was behind him, and had turned around just in time to see a scythe blade connecting with his body at the waist and slicing through it as Danielle yelled ferociously.

Dillon's top half fell first, a look of 'oh ****' forever stuck on his face, then a few long seconds after, his legs finally fell too.

"Bastard," Danielle mumbled as she stumbled back and dropped the scythe. After checking to see if Jeff was really dead, she then proceeded to leave the cabin, make her way through the grounds to the parking lot, then up the very long gravel road, to eventually come out onto the highway, where she hoped she could flag someone down to give her a ride into town where she planned on getting the attention of the authorities and getting some people out to the camp to clean up the mess.

But for the time being, she still had a very long walk ahead of her.

Praise for School Day 3 from other sites:

"Two and a half skulls out of Four, for new adventures of Jeff the hero, new ways to kill, and several plot twists near the end, including a complete surprise as to who survives. Another gruesome body count and a scene with dueling Grim Reapers! (I won't explain what happens, you'll have to read it for yourself). The end still catches me by surprise, and it makes me wonder how School Day 4 will be, or if there even will be a School Day 4."
- JH of the Horror Fanfiction Archive

"This series is turning into the “Friday the 13th” of the site, with a constant variety of deaths, resourceful gory details, and some excellent action sequences. I enjoyed the references to the story’s two predecessors, and also the setup of the victims—er, characters—having to stay behind at the camp. On the critical side, a few clichés are present. Like any horror story, a couple of the characters were utterly stupid: They run away through the woods, and when it gets dark, instead og going out to the highway to flag down a car, they run back to the camp. I guess I don’t have to tell you what happened to them but they deserved it. The story is pretty on par with SCHOOL DAY 2, and is a fun addition to the series. 3.0 out of 5"
- Screamer009 of the Horror Fanfiction Archive

"You’ve done the original, part two was basically a rehash so when it comes to the third, you have to do something different. So this time an older Jeff and Ryan are now teachers who, along with their students have gone to a summer camp; the set up is complete and the carnage can begin! There is slightly more description than before, something that benefits the story, and the deaths are getting more creative. The Grim Reaper is beginning to become Jason-like in his use of props in order to pull off some creative kills. On the down side, the characters don’t seem as real and aren’t portrayed as well as in the previous two entries and so you don’t care too much for their fates.

Also the Grim Reaper, as most horror killers eventually do, is becoming less human. He survived the battering at the end of Part 2 and here he takes a lot of punishment too. Still its nice to read that his costume is still half burnt from the bomb; the little touches help you enjoy it. In the end this is at least equal to School Day 2 and so deserves its score of Three Hooks out of Five.

Oh and by the way, look out for the really cool bit with dueling Grim Reapers! It rocks!"

I needed something big to end the trilogy on, so I had a kick ass scene with two Grim Reapers fighting each other with their scythes, then had myself get killed, then had Dillon get chopped in half so he couldn't possibly come back this time, lol

I've been working for the last 9 days and today is my final day before my days off. Once my days off start, I'll start working on either Crimson Moon or Terror in the Tunnels.
