Chapter 6 - 2 months later

* 2 months later *

a woman is sat visibly bored on her sofa one evening so she decided to turn on the tv and check the news because she knew there wouldn't be any good shows on.

"earlier this morning the body of a young woman was found in an abandoned house around half an hour away from her house on 10th street. officials say she had been brutally murdered with what seemed to be a hammer and her arms had been taken from her torso with a hatchet and tied to her legs for some strange sadistic reason. from the smell and rotting of the corpse officials believe that she has been dead around 2 months now and nobody knew. they still have not found her killer so please contact your loved ones to make sure they are safe." explained the news anchor. the woman placed the news on mute and turned to look at her boyfriend sat across from her.

"hey babe did you hear that!? the girl who died lived on the street we are on." he didn't even look up from his phone which he was scrolling through social media on.

"that's nice hun" he probably didn't even hear what she said. he never pays any attention to her, she hates it.

" isn't it crazy though i mean she was found dead in the house me officially met in 2 months ago that time i followed you from the shop!" she laughed

his eyebrows perked up at this comment, so he did hear her then? he even looked slightly worried, maybe because we could have been hurt too? but he pushed it aside and acted fine " probably just a coincidence. forget about it babe." she looked at him a bit suspiciously because he is acting different than usual but she just laughed at her thoughts and went back to the tv.
