I was silenced as soon as my neck snapped and my body dropped to the ground, making a loud thud on the ground.
He stretches his hand and draws out my soul from my body making my whole bones snapped. He brought out a jar and opened its lid, then forced my soul inside the jar before closing it tightly. He walked away from the scene and made his way out of the mall.
He decided to watch the body which was been rolled on the stretcher into the ambulances before continuing his journey to wherever.

Cassie's pov…
I sat properly on my bed as I called Sarah's number while tapping my thigh impatiently. How many hours is it going to take her to pick up her phone, Huh?
"Hey" she on the phone
"We need to meet," I said to her instantly as she answered the phone
"Okay," she said and I tossed my phone on the bed, to go get ready for the meet-up with Sarah.
I walked to the living room as soon as I was done with my dress up, I was about to turn off the Tv when the headline caught my sight.
"Another death at the central Mall?"
"Two deaths in two days, this isn't just a coincidence!" I thought
I really need to get to Sarah fast and talk this out I switched off the tv and toss my phone into my mini bag and close the door behind as soon as I walked out of the door I quickly hailed down a cab as I start my journey to Sarah house
***
The door opened instantly as I had knocked on it startling me
"Sorry I startled you, I was just…"
"It's nothing, uhm, can I come in?" I asked
"Of course you can" she said opening the door wider and paving way for me to come in, and I stare in amazement of how beautiful their home is, truly you do not judge a book by its cover, I thought
"Of course you don't, my mum is an interior decorator, remember?" She said as if she can hear my thoughts
"Let me guess, you read minds?" I asked her
"Uhm, something like that," she said twirling and sitting on the couch
"So, tell me, what is your gift?" I asked her as soon as I plopped my ass on the most comfortable couch I have ever sat on
"I read minds, I can manipulate your minds, I can get into…"
"So basically, you are a mind reader and anything that deals with minds"
"Yeah, I can also teleport, and have good fighting skills" she added with a wide grin
"Woah!" I exclaimed
"What about you?" She asked
"I can…" I was saying when her mum walked in probably from the kitchen because of the apron she was wearing, and I stopped talking giving Sarah an eye contact as I nod my head for her to stop talking Cos her mum just walked in
"Ohh, you don't need to worry about that, she knows about my gift"
"And she has one too," she said, covering her mouth and whispering it silently for me to hear..
"Woah, well my mum don't know.about mine and I doubt if she's gifted too"
"You are gifted and she isn't, that seems impossible" her mum interjected and I turned my head to her direction, what does she mean?
"You said we should meet, what is it all about?" Sarah said disrupting the moment and changing the topic

Sheriff Trina walked over to the scene and ordered to see Laura's body, after inspecting to check of any marks on her body, If there could be a form of strangling or something, the body bag was enclosed back after she was satisfied with her inspection, and walked over to meet with the witnesses that were said to be at the scene when the tragic incident happened
"She was running and then she stopped…" the witness was saying when she turned to face her interrupting the interrogation
"Can you rephrase?" She asked the woman who was giving her statement
"I was looking for her because she dropped the note I gave her, when I saw her running across the hall and suddenly stopped, and… and her bone just snapped from her body as if when a dried tree branch snapped from the tree" she said whispering still traumatized
"Is that all?" Trina asked to be sure there is nothing left behind
"It was as if she was looking at someone, I could see her face, she was terrified and scared and that's it, she break into pieces"
"Who do you think she is looking at?" She asked once again
"I… I don't know, sh… she was just there looking up… and then… "
"And…" Trina said, coaxing her to go on as she seems deep in thought like she is remembering something.
"Then… she looks down, like the person she was looking at is tall, taller than me… and seconds later she looks down… like she is looking at a person her height"
"Is that all you could remember?" Trina asked hoping to get more helpful information
"Yeah, that's all… that is all"
"Can you tell me who you are to her, and what notes fell from her? Trina asked
"It was an 100 dollar notes I gave her that slipped from her as she ran away happily" she said
"You don't think I killed her do you?" She asked
"Until the investigation proves it, now tell me why did you give her the money?"
"She was staring at the teddy and I gave her the money to get it, because I feel like gifting her, after she had stopped my baby from crying" she said
"Okay, you can go, we might call you anytime for more information, I hope we are welcome?"
"Yes you are!"

The forensic investigator inspected the dead body as some cops took a snapshot of the body, the sheriff with her partner walked over to the body before it was put inside the body bag and rolled over to the ambulance.
She walked over to the crime scene leader to ask some questions
"Are you sure there is no print on her that could lead to finding the criminal?" She asked again to be really sure. This is the third death within a week, and she hasn't gotten lead yet. This death happened at the children park, and it couldn't be more traumatizing for the kids who were at the roller coaster.
"Still nothing if there were anything I will surely tell you" the CSL answered

Back at the police station, the sheriff was in her office trying to figure out what it is that she is not looking into about the psychopath serial killer in her town. Her ringing phone interrupt her thought
She checked the caller id.
"Mayor?" She called out before swiping the answer option
"Yes!" She said on the phone
"I just checked the news right now, what's up the death I'm seeing in every channel
" everything is under control, Sir"
"Under control? Three dead, under control?, you mean a serial killer is in my town moving freely and probably looking for its new victim, under control?, you are unbelievable"
"We are trying our best sir"
"Then your best is not enough, why we're you appointed the sheriff, if you can't shelf anything?
" I will surely give a positive answer soon"
"You better should" he said before he hangs up
She dropped the phone, walked out of her office and called the lead officers who are investigating the crime with her, they all gathered inside another room meant for investigating a serious crime, and plotting plans.
She walked at the table and lay down the town's map on the wide center table
"So the first murder was at a birthday party" she said circling the address on the map
"And the second murder at the central Mall"
"The third at the Park" she said circling with a marker
"On the 15th, 16th and 18th of June respectively"
"Seems like our serial killer has a thing for crowded places," one of the detectives said,
"Exactly Detective Decker!" Detective Kira said
"And all the victims are children except for the first victim" Trina said to her detectives
"And that reminds me we haven't interrogated the first victim-witness yet!" Tom said
"Tom by tomorrow you should go interview them, decker and Kira go check on the Cctv footage of the Mall!"
