Two weeks had passed since the students heard about the rumours regarding Annie's death. Well, the principal never believed in her death. So, it was informed to the police, and some official inspection was also planned.



When the police reached the school, Eddie was standing alone in the garden, staring at a beautiful butterfly...soon, a frog jumped, stuck his tongue out, and ate the butterfly up! As soon as the butterfly was eaten, Eddie smiled sheepishly.

The police asked, "Hey, kiddo. Where's the principal? We have to inform him about our inspection...."

Eddie got up, walked straight ahead, suddenly stopped, and looked spookily at the police, like how he had looked before Annie's death.



Then, the police couldn't meet the principal as the commissioner called him up, for an important task.



And, Bingo!

The next day, when the principal called the same police officer, it was told that he was also found......dead!

Eddie surely had some sort of black magic, as the old-school people would say.



And to confirm Annie's death Eddie was anyways still alive. Eddie dragged the principal to the garden and showed him the dead body of the dead teacher. But, how was it not noticed by anyone? Well, Eddie knew the secret. He was the one who had buried Annie in the school garden. But, none of them knew this secret.



The dead body had a lot of marks on the forehead, wrist, and neck.



Eddie surely had something strange....which many people fail to understand. Eddie's parents couldn't give an explanation regarding their son's behaviour, even though they were normal, unlike Eddie.
