One day, thirteen girls from a school

called Halio went to their yearly 3-day

camp. This year, the wind was strangely

cold and the sky was dark. The girls

shivered in their van, which had rolled

down windows.

"I feel like somebody is gonna have bad

luck," said Pitta, hoisting her little green bag and trying to sit taller in her seat so

she could see farther like the other girls.

2

"Yeah, me too," agreed Stefanie,

looking around.

"Come on, guys, we're here already,"

Anna H said. She grabbed her purplish

bag and led the others out of the car.

They all brought down their tent bags

and some necessities they could carry

down with them.

Then they began to set their things

down.

3

"We also have to move our stuff in

before lunch," said Anna S.

"This is an unlucky day!" said Miao in her usual dramatic manner. "Friday the 13th.

And there are thirteen of us."

"Yeah," Ing Ing agreed, checking her phone.

"I told you," Miao answered. Everyone crowded around Ing to see the date on

the screen. With grim expressions, they

saw that she was right.

4

"Oh, come on guys! That's just a belief,"

said Anja, but she sounded unsure.

Some girls looked on worriedly.

"OK guys, we can go play first and then

set up the tent," said Anna H.

"I'll go with Sophia to get some stuff

from the car," Pitta said. "I brought a lot of stuff for our tent, so we'll start

now." She set her bags down and went

with Sophia to the van.

5

The girls split up. Ing Ing, Mimi, Anna

S and Anna H went to the lake. Anja,

Briony, Miao and Stefanie went to the

forest. Kim and Annice and Ava went

to the cafeteria to get something.

Anja and Briony climbed the vines in

the forest.

Suddenly Sophia ran towards them,

screaming.

6

"Guys! YOU HAVE TO GET OUT OF

HERE!" she yelled.

"Why?" Briony shouted.

"Pitta was murdered by somebody!

They were hiding behind the van

seats!"

"Was it a boy or girl?" screamed

Stefanie.

"I don't know, but I think they're

coming!" Sophia answered. "Hurry!"

7

There was a swish and somebody threw

a knife from behind her. It struck her

through the chest. Sophia screamed and

fell, exposing the dripping handle.

Stefanie ran as fast as she could across

the field with the others. She looked at

the murderer to see his/her identity, but

she couldn't look so long, since she was

being chased by the murderer. "Run!!!"

8

As she ran, Miao was determined to

find out the killer's identity. Opposing

her frightened nature, she ran more

slowly than she really should

have. But she clearly underestimated

the murderer's skills. As she turned

around, the blade whizzed past

Stefanie's face and hit Miao. She fell

down.

9

Anja screamed and everyone ran

faster, seeing how good the murderer

was at throwing things. Then they

realized the murderer was gone.

They stopped, gasping for breath.

"Oh, no...." said Briony, seeing the two Annas's dead bodies.

"Wait!" shouted Anja. "Why are they dead here?!"

Briony frowned. "That means...."

10

"She was here!" realized Stefanie.

"Watch out!" screamed Briony, but it was too late. Two sharp blades sunk into

Stefanie and Anja.

"Ahh!!!" Briony screamed and ran faster.

Briony ran on for her life, wondering

where the other girls were. Clearly,

IngIng and Mimi weren't with Anna S

and Anna H, since she would've seen

their corpses.

11

Briony reached the bamboo forest.

She spotted IngIng hiding behind a

clump of bamboo with Mimi. Their

eyes widened. Briony glanced behind

her. The murderer raised her knife.

Briony heroically decided to help her

friends, even if she knew she would

die. She just managed to mouth,

"Hide!," before she got hit by the knife and screamed as she fell down.

12

IngIng and Mimi stood as still as

possible as the murderer looked

around. They both wished as hard

as they could that they were

blended in with the trees. Then Ing's

hair blew against the leaves, making

a rustling sound."Aha!" shouted the

murderer in a strangely familiar

voice. A voice recognised by most

children at Halio...

13

The murderer raised her knife and

Mimi and Ing ran. The murderer

aimed at Ing but missed and hit Mimi

instead. Mimi fell dead on the ground.

Ing found a dead end, surrounded by

a thick, thorny forest and a tall

concrete wall. If she ran into the

forest, she would definitely die from

taking too much time.

14

Ing outran the murderer by about

thirty long seconds, which was

enough time to get ready to die, but

not enough to escape the long wall

and the thick wood.

"Ing!!!" shouted Kim, as she ran

towards her. The knife hit Ing.

"AAAAAAHHHHH!" she screamed

and fell down.

15

"What's happening?" shouted Annice.

"Get out of here!" Kim said.

"I'm helping you!" Annice persisted.

The murderer snuck up behind her

and stabbed Annice. She screamed

and fell. "No!" screamed Kim. She

faced the murderer.

"Hahahahaahah!" laughed the

murderer. She turned around and

faced Kim menacingly.

16

She lifted a knife victoriously and

flung it at Kim. Kim ducked and it hit

a tree. "Aaaaaaaaahh!!" she screamed.

Kim pulled the knife out and hit the

murderer with it. "No!!!!!" shrieked the murderer.

Kim was determined to find out who

they were. But the murderer held on

to their mask and threw the knife

directly at Kim.

17

Kim screamed as it hit her. As the

murderer was losing strength, Kim

saw the mask starting to slip. The

murderer was trying her best to keep

the mask on. She fell to the floor.

Kim was determined to find out who

she was. This was her last chance.

The murderer was also determined

not to let anyone know her identity.

She groaned and held on.

18

But the murderer lost her

strength. She fell and the mask

dropped off. Kim also fell down.

Before she was gone altogether, she

saw the murderer's face.

"Padma...?"*

Then she collapsed.

*Padma was their school's head teacher.
