"Well you see I realized if I removed her clothes,it might seem quite off as why would she remove her clothes then jump off. It's already suspicious enough that her body was way far off from camp." He said looking vacantly at the sky. "What about your fingerprints? What if they decide to check it as you said it already said that the scene looked suspicious enough?" Andrew simply started walking a little more far off to the left from the bank sat down on some stump of a tree that had been chopped off earlier. From his gesture, Ashley understood what he wanted and sat on his lap.
"I was able to remove my fingerprints off it. Just trust me for that after all,I am a man of various trades." He said as he locked his eyes with hers. "How?" To which he played off, "My tricks of course. There's no need to stress your cute little head." He said as he carresed her face. "Well okay. If you say so but don't you still have to kill that deadbeat. Not to mention if another body pops up,then they might realize that someone may be orchestrating these deaths from the shadows."
"Hmmm!" He gave a small hum. "Well you do want to see him dead and I already know how and without us getting our hands dirty. All we have to do is wait." Ashley was partially paying attention as a huge part off her was caught off guard with how brazen Andrew's hands started to caress her butt.
*Thirteen minutes later*
A humanoid shaped figure made their way towards the lake but from the position of the two,they were far enough to not be easily noticed. "A rendezvous meetup and a psychopathic to intrusion." He said as the two continued to look at the humanoid figure only for them to realize that it was a girl. "Isn't that Esther from my class?" To which he nodded. "The show has yet to begin." He said as his eyes were locked onto the bank.
*Five minutes later*
"Maybe this was all a ruse? I can't believe that I fell for such a prank!" She said as she covered her face with her hands. Due to the distance, Ashley couldn't perfectly hear her words but from the way she looked,she looked frustrated. "Ahem!! Esther?! Are you here?" Another voice came from the trail leading back to the cabins and to Ashley's detestment,it was Vinnie. "You're actually here, I didn't think to actually meet you here." Esther paused briefly as she looked at him. She had a crush on him and when she got that text for a secret meetup,she found it quite skeptical but she came anyway and to her surprise,he came.
He approached closer to her and now they stood not far from each other. "Some one was teasing me that you had a crush on me and I was told to meet you here." She blushed slightly. "Well I do." He paused briefly as he looked at her before a sleezy grin appeared on his face. "Well,I usually have a custom of getting to know the the lady much better so..." He got dangerously close to her making her shudder in fear. He raised his hand and brazenly reached for her breasts. "I don't think that you should do so. It's wrong." Her tone laced with fear and uncertainty.
"It's not like I'm asking for sex. Just a little bit. For me or do you not love me?" He grabbed her hands and softly carresed them. In the spur of naivety and fear of losing appeal for him,she stuttered. "...Fine...but nothing below the waist." His grin only grew wider. "Fine with me." He then started to pull her sweater upwards revealing a tantalizing sight of soft and tender boobs. Her nipples and areolas were huge along with her breasts however Ashley felt intimidated. "How is any of this suppose to help us kill him or retrieve the photo?" She asked in a low voice as she felt uncomfortable with the situation. She was both unhappy yet filled with contempt for her. 'I understand that she is new to this but being used like this is a little extra. But her boobs are slightly bigger than mine,what if Andrew is into girls like that.' Ashley thought looking at the scenario.
"It's not,good things take time." He answered her question. 'Maybe he's setting him up for blackmail for harassing her ' Ashley thought thinking that Andrew would manipulate the situation to his favor. Vinnie pinched and teased Esther amused with her reactions however he was still unsated. Esther had a face portraying ecstacy and bliss. "I could use my fingers you know." He said as his left hand slid down into her skirt making her jump. "No! Not there."
*Rustle*
The two heard a voice coming from the bushes. Esther instinctively his behind Vinnie as she tried to adjust her clothes. "Check it out." She said softly to which Vinnie shot back. "What it's something dangerous? How about this? If I check it out,then you'll allow me to go down there." He said to which under the stress of fear,she agreed. Vinnie wasn't that scared as the wild animals usually were located much deeper in the woods so it could be something insignificant. Before he could move towards the source of the voice, another somewhat humanoid figure appeared out of the bushes.
Looking at it,it was Brad who had many cuts and bruises all over his body. "Hey,Brad,are you okay?" He asked as he noticed that he was laying on the ground face down without moving. He started to make a slow approach towards him before he told Esther,"Go back to camp and look for help, I'll stay here and keep an eye on him." She snapped out of her faze and quickly ran back to the cabins. Vinnie made it to Brad's body and looking at it,he was still alive but unconscious.
*Mphh *
He hauled his body to the edge of the lake in an attempt to wash off some of the blood all over his body. He laid him down with his back on the ground. He removed a small piece of cloth that he had on him, drenched it in water then wipe the cuts all over his body. "What did you get yourself into?" He muttered beneath his breathe. As he was about to rinse the cloth,Brad who lied unconscious suddenly sprang to life yelling,"I've got you now bear." Vinnie under the surprise was taken aback and couldn't process what was happening. Brad whose fingernails seemed bleeding as if he was trying to scratch something hard like a rock plunged into Vinnie's neck in an attempt to strangle him to death.
Vinnie under the rush of adrenaline tried to break free from his grasp but couldn't so he tried to tip the guy over and the two fell into the lake. Brad stood up and lunged at Vinnie with a crazed look in his eyes and Vinnie who was trying to regain his footing was caught off guard and the two went farther away from where the shore was and into deeper waters. Brad was your bully while Vinnie despite his best attempts,still couldn't measure up and in a span of a few seconds,Brad tightly grabbed onto Vinnie's head and tried to drown it underwater.
"Brad!! You've got to snap out of it!" He tried to reason with his during his bursts as he would break free but Brad wasn't himself anymore and with a strong grab of Vinnie's arms,he twisted them in a funny way.
*Crack-Crack*
Multiple cracks could be heard. Brad had actually dislocated his arms then tried to drown him. Vinnie tried to pull himself up against the level of water but the sheer amount of pain that he would feel would make him reconsider. He resorted to using his legs however they yielded no significant results,only causing big splashes on the lake. "The couple seeing the whole event unfold,saw as Vinnie's struggle started to slow down and after ten minutes,only complete silence covered the waters and the atmosphere. Brad seeing that Vinnie was unmoving finally let go of him and Vinnie's body floated in place.
"What have I done?" Brad seemed to snap back to his senses. He had been under the delusion that he had been warding off the bear that had killed Stellar but before him lay the corpse of his fellow classmate Vinnie. "They'll have me arrested and rot in prison. No! That can't be! I have to get out of here!" He started to frantically swim towards the shore to which he noticed that Esther was coming back with Damon and Grace,the counsellors. "I'll be in big trouble!" So he started to run off into the woods but the trio had noticed him. "Hey!!! Brad!! Where are you going?!!!" Esther shouted but seeing how frightful he looked,"I didn't mean to!!" She was shocked and now looking onto the lake, "Is that a body?" Damon asked and getting closer,their fears were realized. Damon swam to the body then hauled it back to shore. "It's Vinnie and he's dead cold."
He said as he put his body on the gravel shore. Another student dead, 'What is going on in this camp?' The two counsellors thought. "I can't believe that Brad killed Vinnie!" Esther said. They couldn't assume that Brad didn't do it as he ran away from the scene constantly shouting that he didn't mean to so it had to be him. "I'll contact his parents." Grace said as she stepped aside.
"A stellar performance, don't you think?" Andrew said as they started to make their way back and long gone from where they were. "How did you do it?" She was still perplexed how he did it. "You see people under stress are easy to break. So with a little bit of the placebo effect and small white lies, making a psychopath isn't that hard. And since the text for the two to meet up was from Brad's phone. It's a full proof plan with the evidence pointing someone else and not us." He said as they arrived. "It would seem that you won our little bet. So when do you want your present?" She asked looking at Andrew who gave a small peck.
"I'll tell you later." He said.
*Chuu*
"Goodnight my dear Ashley." He said after his kiss. Ashley had a huge smile which he wore off. "Goodnight Andrew." She said passionately still in his arms. The two broke off into their respective cabins. Andrew now laying on his bed immediately took his conscious to the white static void.
"Tricks, huh?" He heard a mocking statement directed at him. It was Hedonism. "Left out the part where you made the guy insane but whatever works." Andrew sat on a chair he summoned with a thought. "She doesn't need to know everything right now. I'll tell her all about it after the camp is over."
"So what happened to the skill?" Andrew after receiving the skill from who knows who,he tried to use the skill, however...
[{Skill unable to be accessed or executed at the current time}]
It was the only notification that he kept on getting. "When the time comes!" He said callously as he closed his eyes. "And yes I noticed that there was more to that officer that meets the eye." He further added. "I just started,can I at least get some peace." He said. The officer who had found Stellar's body had a faint aura around her. 'No wonder they found that body faster than expected. If she's here tommorow then we're going to have a bit of fun.' He thought but he knew that Hedonism could peer into his train of thought and converse in such a manner. "Do you plan on giving Ashley any "tricks" as you put it?" Andrew paused for a minute. "What kind of a monster do you think I am to give a psychopath in the eyes of society any powers!"
The two looked at each other while seated. "Hahahaha!!!!" The two burst into laughter because the both of them knew that he didn't mean what he said. "Devouring." Hedonism commented. "A person who already has an inferiority complex given the skill to perfect herself,I don't see how anything wrong could happen." He said sarcastically. "Yeah,but it's my burden." Andrew laughed off. "I don't know what kind of "burden" is usually enjoyable for a person but whatever works."
