A serial killer has finally been caught after killing his last victim; that victim being Emi. What is Tate's reaction upon discovery?
It was freezing cold out. It was only autumn, but winter was showing it was on its way. The wind howled, and the night was eerily quiet. Tate had a bad feeling. He didnāt know why, but he felt that something was going to happen.Ā His defensive instincts started to kick in.
Before he knew it, he soon found himself walking to Emiās apartment complex. He strolled up the steps, and knocked on Emiās door. No response.Ā Thatās weird..Ā He tried to knock again, but still no answer.Ā Maybe she isnāt home?
Something in the back of Tateās mind told him,Ā āNo. That canāt be.āĀ His heart thumped wildly in his chest, like the sound of drums; the sound echoed in his ears. He was shaking wildly. Tate took a deep breath to try to calm himself. He took 5 steps back, ran and kicked down the door in one swift movement.Ā
The room was completely quiet and still.
Tateās breathing became rapid, and he still was shaking even as he entered the dark room. āHello?ā He called out into the darkness. He knew there would be no reply, but he still tried. He wanted to believe everything was okay, but deep down he knew.
Something was horribly wrong.
āEmi?ā He called again. He could feel the tears that were forming in his eyes begging to be free, but he closed his eyes to stop them, even if it stung.Ā
āEmi?ā His voice shook. He tried to stay calm. A bloody knife on the floor, and blood streaked walls. He bolted into the room, and looked around. He would search this whole god damn place for her if he had to.
Suddenly, he remembered. Why the town had fallen to such a silenceāWhy it was in such a state of distress. There had been a serial killer on the loose for weeks now. Police werenāt able to catch him yet, and many peopleāWoman in particularāWere dead. The serial killer wasnāt good at hiding his tracks, but he was good at hiding himself. That was a distinct thing about him. He would leave all the evidence on the scene.Ā
It couldnāt be.Ā Please, no.Ā Donāt let it be linked.
Tears ran down his cheeks. He couldnāt keep them back anymore. It was his job to protect Emi. He let her down. āWhy wasnāt I able to protect you?ā He screamed. āWhy?ā He whispered into the darkness, sobbing uncontrollably.Ā
He got up, and slowly rounded the corner into the bedroom.
The moonlight shone through the window, hitting the bed at a perfect angle where he was able to see her face. Her eyes were wide open, her cheeks stained with tears.
And her white nightgown was covered in red.Ā
āNO!ā He screamed once again, and ran over to her. He cupped her face in his hands, and looked into her lifeless eyes. āNO, GOD DAMMIT NO!ā He picked up her hand, and felt her wrist for a pulse. There was nothing. He cried and cried; resting his head on her chest. āIāll kill him.ā He whispered to her. āIāll kill him, I swear.āĀ
