One Way Out

You stayed behind. You would wait until she was done before getting water. At least this water fountain works. You wouldn't be thirsty anymore. She had stopped drinking but you could hear her trying to kick open lockers. You sighed silently, she would be there for longer. Suddenly, you heard a scream from Emma. What happened? Nothing good, you tell yourself, then looked for a place to hide.
You quietly stepped into a small alcove and saw Emma clutching her leg. It was bleeding. She tried to run but couldn't, and ended up crawling as quickly as she could towards the janitor's closet. She closed the closet door and you looked around for her attacker, and yet you could see no one. Footsteps approached from the opposite direction and you entered the classroom behind you quietly. Locking the door, you watched from the small slit in the window.
Emma Aaron walked past and to the drinking fountain. She immediately noticed the blood stain on the ground and started to follow it. She was out of your sight when John entered. John looked at what you assumed to be Emma and smiled at her. He pocketed the gun he'd been cleaning (it looked like Jonathan's who probably liberated it from Ezra) and walked toward her.
You couldn't see anything from the window except for Emma Aaron, who was leaning against the wall and studying her axe. She looked a little terrified at what was happening, it must be what John was doing. You were glad you weren't in her position, it would be torture to watch. After a long minute, John walked out, there was a fresh bloodstain on his shirt that didn't look exactly like his.
