Chapter 2 - A Peaceful town

It's late at night. Rain's pouring down heavily. However none of it mattered to this one man. He kept driving as fast as he could to get out of the town. He picked up his phone and dials a number. No one was lifting the call so he decided to leave a message. "Hello Grimm. Listen to me I haven't got much time....." he continued saying something but before he could finish, his car crashed. His car fell off the bridge with him in it and he died immediately.

The next morning...

"Frederick wake up its almost time for u to go to school". " Already woke mum. Don't need to yell."

" God what am I gonna do with that boy. Got the wits but always uses em for dumb things instead of focusing on studies and lazy as hell."

"Hey mum, bye mum" and Fredrick leaves house with toast in his mouth. Gets on his bike and goes to school as fast as he can. " Crap, already 10 minutes late. Teachers gonna give me a peace of her mind today, no doubt." He was late to class. He expected to get scolded, however the class was calm. No one uttered a word and the teacher wasn't angry or anything.

Fredrick goes to his seat and sits down. " Philip what's wrong? why's everyone so gloomy?"

"The town head Mr.Brown died in an accident last night" Philip replied. This news shaked Fredrick to the core. Frederick never grew up with his dad so he never felt fatherly love. However Mr. Brown was like a father figure to him and always admired Frederick.

The whole day went by quietly. The final bell rings and everyone starts to leave. Suddenly there's an uproar among the students.

" Wendy is dead"

"WHAT?"

" Yeah. I just heard from one of the maids."

" There must be a mistake. Wendy can't be dead right?"

" I heard that the police confirmed it's her"

The news of Wendy's death spread around the school and everyone were talking about it. Some were crying, some were horrified. In one day these two deaths shook almost everyone.

" This has gotta be the worst day in this towns history" said Fredericks friend Denim to him. Frederick and Philip agreed. They all went back to their respective homes. In the evening Fredrick along with his friends Philip, Denim, Laurel and Leslie decided to go and pay the deceased's family a visit.

At 6 Fredrick and his friends met hear Herr's inn and went to pay their condolences to the deceased's family.

At 8 as they're walking back home Leslie said " From what Wendy's mom said do u think it could be him who killed her?" "Don't jump to any conclusions yet" said Denim.

"Denim you as well as I know who's behind her death." said Fredrick

Denim replied " I know but I don't want him to be her killer. Uk how he kills his victims right. That's the worst kind of death anyone could have. To think Wendy had to go through that is just"

" I get it"

" Some people think this is some sort of bad omen. They think something bad is about to happen."

" Do you seriously belive all that?" " Of course no"

In the forest where Wendy's body was found, a police officer comes back to the scene late at night.

" How bloody careless can I be. Dropped my badge, and have to search for it at this time. if Grimm finds out I lost my badge dude's gonna kill me".

He searches near the crime scene for his badge. " Ah there it is. Lucky me. Didn't have to spend alot of time searching for it"

Suddenly he heard leaves rustling. There wasn't any wind and yet the leaves rustled. " Who's there?" he yelled. No reply. He starts to head back but he notices someone. He takes out his gun and yells" Hey man whoever u are, come out now. Stop playing games with me. I saw you. He notices the man running and starts chasing him.

They both hurry through the forest, but he lost him and decides to go back. But on his way he sees a cave. He has never been this deep in the forest so he was surprised to see the cave. His curiosity got the better of him and he went inside the cave.

A few minutes later the sound of a gunshot echoed throughout the forest. The officer comes out injured, scared for his life. But before he could run away he's shot again. He died on the spot.

The next day news of the officers death was another shock to the town. 3 murders in one day. Everyone knew that the peaceful days of Petersville are over. Something evil has been cast upon the town and things are gonna get worse.
