Nathan's POV
"What the hell? How did he knew we are after him?" Sheena asked. I'm not on my usual mood today.
"Maybe there's a bug in here? Something like that, or a nanny cam." She continues what she's saying.
"Nathan! Why aren't you talking to me? What's wrong?" She asked me, I turned myself to face her.
"Nothing. Nothing's wrong, I'm fine." I said even though my head's starting to get heavy.
"Are you sure?" She asked, I couldn't lie to her.
"Actually, I'm not. My head is getting heavy, can we go home? I want to take a nap." I asked and she get her keys.
"Let's go, why are you so stubborn? If your Mom finds out about this I will be in danger 'cause of you." She said.
Soon as I reached the shotgun seat, I locked my seatbelt and closed my eyes. I told her to wake me up when we reached my house. Though it's only 10 minutes of drive.
"Hey, wake up. We're here now." She said while tapping my face.
"You don't need to tap my face, damn." I said.
"Hey? Just tryna' wake you up, what's so wrong with that!?" She shouted.
"I'm sorry, I thought you were my brother. That idiot loves to tap my face whenever he's waking me up." I said.
I saw Mom walking towards Sheena's car wearing only a night gown.
"Oh my God, what happened?" She asked and I shook my head to say I'm fine.
"What happened to you, Mom? It's only 4:30 in the afternoon yet you're wearing your night gown?" I asked and slightly laughed.
"Mrs. Arevalo, gotta get home now." Sheena waved goodbye and Mom assisted me on the way to my room.
Sheena's POV
I went home after dropping Nathan in their house. As absurd as this sounds, I planted a bug in Nathan's pocket. But earlier today, what we just read in our investigation room seems to be surreal. Makes me think that whoever is doing the killing, it's not Nathan. There are so many sinners here in our town.
But then it makes me question, if his family can do such thing? Sure as hell he can too, but I'm pretty sure he won't do it.
Damn it's so frustrating! I need to know who were the past serial killers in this town except from the Arevalos.
I went to the library and search for the darkest times. There I found the case of The Maniac Alligator.
"The Maniac Alligator was a pedophile, thief, a pastor, and also a serial killer. He abducts his victims and keeping them in isolation. After using as a toy to make him feel relief, he kills them one by one. In these times, all the girls were in danger."
Damn this alligator, he really was a psychopath. Or maybe he still is. I looked for another dark times, there I saw The Milkmaid Man.
"The Milkmaid Man, abducted his victims and tried to make them drink his milk. If you know what I mean of course, it's kinda gross but that's just it. Victims were 12-17 years old, girls and boys. They say if you are still out at past 8, he will take you and kill you. Anyone refuses to drink his milk, he drowns them to a real milk. In a drum full of lactose tolerant in heavy cream, he'll put you there and let the milk expired along the way to your body."
This one is not gore enough, a little psycho but it's not gore. More like, sexual and this killer is a monster. I dig another dark times, and saw the case of The Cryo Jan.
"Cryo Jan is the serial killer who hops from town to town. He hates Monday that's why he kills every people he sees every Monday. First, abducting them and taking them somewhere. Isolating them til they go into narcissist sociopath and then that's when he'll gouge their eyes out. Says he's collecting it as a sign of victory."
I almost puked when I read this case, this is the worst I swear. But since I chose to do this, I should have the stomach to take this. Last case I'm about to read seems to be the darkest, worst, and most terrifying case based on the black and white image and its title. The Angel in Disguise.
"Angel in disguise, an innocent looking girl but can rip you to shreds. I mean literally. She goes to school by day, has many friends and so cheerful and lovely. Little did her classmates know, she's doing the killings in her town. Every lunch, she sneaks into the male restroom and asking every guy she likes. Since she's pretty, smart and cheerful, no one can resist her charm. After dating, she puts some pills in the champagne of the guy. It's the libido pills, then that's when she'll execute the plan."
It's been cut, this should have a continuation but I don't know where is it. I can't ask the librarian, I can't trust anyone right now but Nathan. Unfortunately, he's feeling unwell. So I looked for some continuation. It's been minutes before I found it.
"After going to the said place, she injects some paralytic dart in the victim's body. After tying it so tight, that's when she inject the antidote so the victim can feel everything. She smashes the knee caps, sawing the foot nails, cutting the achilles tendon, slashing the calves. She cuts the balls because like what she said, "scream is a music to my ears." After that, she pours muriatic acid in the stomach, enough to melt off the skin. Then she takes the intestines and said she'll make a pasta. She gets the heart and keep it in a fridge, so she can sell it in the black market. Literally all she has done to the victims' body were cut it so it would be dismembered. Keeping the skull though, said it would be a great addition to her collection."
This time I puked for many minutes. My stomach couldn't handle these anymore, I don't know if they were just psychopaths or something. But all serial killers, I think they have a similar thing to each other.
My phone rang and it was Nathan who's calling.
"Hey, Nate what's up?" I asked.
"I received another letter. Can you come here?" He said.
I hung up the phone and immediately went to my car, carrying all the newspapers with me of course. Soon as I set foot in their doorstep, I smelled a blood. I opened the door and that's when my life flashed from my very eyes. A paralytic dart hit me.
"It'll all be alright. I swear."
