It had never dawned on Amelia how momentary life was. One moment you're alive and the next you're a lifeless, torn up corpse. Looking at Emily's mangled body made her realized all this. The creature was crouched down, devouring her corpse. Amelia had thought about sneaking past the creature and escaping, but her legs had no strength in them. She quickly brushed of the idea which sounded stupid in her head now The creature stood up, it's body making bone cracking noises. The area between her legs were moist with urine. With all the fear and terror Amelia was feeling, she didn't realized how wet that area was. "Please don't kill me…" Amelia muttered under shaky breath over and over again.
Perhaps she had hoped that the creature would listen to her. Ignoring her pleas, the strange entity grabbed her wrist, crushing it with ease. Amelia let out an earthshaking cry. More tears streamed down her cheeks. Sunlight streaked through the large glass window which was directly behind Amelia. The creature let go of her wrists and used both hands to shield itself from the sunlight. A sizzling noise was emitting from the monster. Amelia looked at the creature in wonderment. It's skin seemed to be burning under the sunlight. The entity let out a deafening shriek as it ran out of the room. Amelia could hear it's hurried footsteps getting farther and farther away. Looking out the window, she saw the sun rising in the distance. She had been too preoccupied to notice it was morning it already. Wearily, Amelia got out of bed, in search of her phone. Her right hand was throbbing with immense pain. Picking up her phone from the floor, Amelia fumbled her fingers on the keys. Typing with her left hard was harder than she had expected. When she finally got the numbers right, she punched in the call icon.
"911, what's your emergency?"
"My friends, they're all-"
her throat became choked up as hot tears streamed down her cheeks. Her eyes were stinging from all the crying.
"what happened to friends?" the woman asked. "They're all dead."
"Okay, can you tell me what happened?"
Amelia didn't know what to say. No one would believe her if she told them about the creature.
"A monster killed them."
The woman got quiet for a seconds before speaking. "Are you hurt anywhere?" she asked.
"Yes, I think my wrist is broken." Amelia replied, looking at her right arm which had swelled up.
"Alright, what's your location?"
" coastal beach."
"Okay, stay right where you are, help is on the way." The woman said with a reassuring voice.
"Okay." Amelia said before hanging up.
She thought about calling her father but quickly disregarded the idea. What would her father think of her if she relayed the events to him. He would mostly likely think she had gone mad. Not wanting to spend anymore minute in the house, Amelia went out to the beach. She stood there, looking at the water move back and forth on the shore. Feeling completely drained, she plopped down on the sand and decided to sit there till help arrived.
At 7:36am, Oliver has gotten a call from chief Bradley about a new case. He was instructed to head to the crime scene immediately. Oliver didn't fancy getting a call on his day off, especially when he had planned to spend the whole day with Kenna.
"I'm really sorry about bailing out on our date." Oliver said as he wrapped his hands around her waist.
He had always been fascinated by how small her waist was. Kenna looked up at Oliver, her hands crossed across her chest.
" It's fine, I understand that you have to go to work." Oliver frowned. Kenna was making that face again. Whenever Kenna is displeased with something, her eyebrows arch forward and her lips curl into an upside down smile. He knew that face all too well.
"I'll make it up to you, I promise. We can do whatever you want when I get back."
He stroked her cheek and planted a kiss on her forehead. Grabbing his car keys, he headed outside. Kenna followed behind him and stopped when she got to the front door.
"Can I get a kiss at least?" she said.
Oliver smiled and their lips met. She ran her hands through his hair, savoring every bit of the moment. Oliver withdrew himself and headed towards his car. Kenna stood there, watching as he drove off.
Multiple cop cars in front of a building definitely wasn't a good look. Everyone seemed busy as they walked in and out of the building. Oliver caught a glimpse of Maria who was standing at the entrance talking to a police officer. Their eyes met and he could clearly see her face light up. They hadn't seen each other in a while due to their shifts, so seeing her right now was nice. "Hey." Maria said, a smile creeping up her lips.
Oliver nodded, while smiling back at her.
"What's the situation?"
Maria sighed.
"We have a couple of dead teenagers with just one survivor."
Maria turned around, looking in the direction of the ambulance. Amelia sat there, getting treatment. Oliver went into the building and Maria followed behind him. Paramedics swarmed the living room, attending to the lifeless bodies on the ground. Oliver crouched down, examining the bodies closely. The corpse was mutilated so bad.
"These injuries look….."
"inhumane? Yeah, that's what I thought too." Maria said.
Oliver Stepped aside, allowing the paramedics do their job.
"They also found a body upstairs. It's limbs has been torn off and most of the organs are missing."
"Did the culprit steal the organs?"
Maria shrugged. The whole thing seemed very bizarre to her. They both took a look around the house before stepping out. They made their way towards Amelia who looked like she had finished her treatment. On getting close to her, Oliver noticed bluish black lines around her neck.
"Oliver Lucas, CID." He said flashing his badge.
Amelia looked at the badge, and then at him without saying a word.
"Can you tell us what happened?" Maria said.
"it was the monster….." she said in a low tone.
Maria froze on hearing that words.
"Monster?" Oliver said with a confused look on his face.
Amelia scoffed.
"I know you don't believe me, but I'm telling the truth." "I believe you." Maria said as she moved closer to her. "you do?" Amelia said with a surprised look on her face.
Maria nodded.
"can you describe this monster for me?" Amelia paused, taking her time to search for the right words. "It had super long hands. It was so long that it was literally sweeping the ground."
Maria could feel her stomach twist.
"What else?"
"It's head was really long."
"It didn't have eyes….. Right?"
Amelia's eyes went wide.
"Yes! Yes! It had no eyes."
Oliver looked at Maria, his face full of curiosity. Maria was far from okay. The creature that she had forcefully denied it's existence was actually real. Memories of her meeting with the creature flooded her memory. Maria took Oliver's arm and led him to a secluded area.
"So, you have something to say to me?" Maria nodded. "The monster she described, I've seen it before." Maria said.
"What? Are you saying that she's telling the truth?" Oliver said in disbelief.
"Yes, she is. Come on, you saw the bodies in there. They had abnormal injuries."
Oliver was quiet, assimilating everything Maria was saying.
"And how did you meet this monster?"
"I kinda lost my way when I went out for drink." Maria said, rubbing her arm.
Oliver sighed. He looked like he didn't want to hear anymore of what Maria was saying. Everything seems too absurd. He headed back to Amelia, hoping she would answer more of his question.
"What is your name."
"Amelia Winston." She replied.
" Since you're a witness, we would need to bring you to the station for further questioning."
Amelia nodded
Maria was surprised on how fast the time flew. After leaving coastal beach, they headed to the office to get some paper work done. At the scene, they had found a bloody kitchen knife and a broken pair of glasses. Both items were sent to the DNA analysts. Maria and Oliver hoped that they would get some information from them soon. It was 12am when Oliver decided to head home. He needed to get as much sleep as he could, knowing that they were going to be very busy through out this week. Oliver looked over at Maria who was still busy sorting out some files.
"You should head home and get some rest. Tomorrow's going to be hectic."
"Mmm…..I'll do that once I finish up with this." Maria said, her eyes glued on the files.
"alright then, I'll see you tomorrow." Oliver said as he left the office.
Maria rubbed her temples vigorously, in an attempt to calm the migraine. She's been having a splitting headache ever since the nightmares started. Every since that night, the creature haunted her dreams every time she fell asleep. Sleeping was not an option for her right now. 'This is going to be a really long night.' Maria thought
The first thing Oliver saw when he opened the front door was Kenna dressed in a velvet colored lingerie. He tilted his head, giving her a confused look.
"You don't like it?" she said, her expression changing to sadness.
Oliver walked over to her and placed his hands on her shoulders.
"I think you look pretty."
Kenna seemed unsatisfied with his answer.
"Look, it's almost 1am in the morning. Anyone would react the same way I did."
Oliver said. Kenna wrapped her hands around his neck and whispered in his ear.
"I have a surprise with you."
She took his hand and led him towards the bedroom. The bed was filled with handcuffs and sex toys. Oliver picked up a vibrator and looked at her.
"BDSM?"
Kenna nodded excitedly.
"I looked up ways we could spice up our sex life and I found an article on BDSM."
Oliver sighed and rubbed his eyes.
" look honey, I'm not against trying new things, but it's really late and I'm really exhausted. Let's save this for another date."
Oliver could see Kenna's expression visibly change to gloom.
"You can just tell me you don't find my body appealing anymore." Kenna said as her eyes became watery. Oliver pulled her into a tight embrace. He knew she was trying to guilt trip him, but he couldn't help but feel guilty. He thought about how much Kenna must've been excited, when she was getting the items.
"Alright, why don't we try out the items?"
a wide grin began to form on Kenna face. She always had a way of getting what she wanted. Oliver headed into the bathroom to wash up. Only clad in a robe, Oliver made his way to the bed where Kenna lay. He had to admit that she looked really sexy in that lingerie. Grabbing the handcuffs, he put them around her wrist, pinning her to the bed post.
"Now what shall we start with..." Oliver said as his hands hovered above the toys.
He picked up the remote control vibrator and moved closer to her. Her whole body trembled when Oliver looked at her. His eyes were dark and his face was unreadable. She had never seen him like this. 'looks like he's finally getting into it' she thought. Her body shook with anticipation as he slowly took of her panties. "Looks like you're already wet down there." He said as he ran a finger on her clitoris. Her body twitched. She could feel herself getting stirred up. Oliver inserted the vibrator slowly into her love hole. He picked up the remote and flipped the switch, putting it at level one.
"oh!" Kenna cried out as she threw her head back. Oliver reached for her breasts. He squeezed her nipples, making them become erect. She arched her back as waves of pleasure washed over her.
"We're just getting started." Oliver whispered in her ear.
