Warning || [BETH]
So many things running through his mind, ever since the festival ended that night. All of those screams, people running around, people being knocked over and nearly trampled. All due to the panic that he had caused, and oh, god, was it intoxicating. Addicting. Normally, he would wait a while longer before taking the next victim, lay low and take in all of the fear he'd set into place before he did anything drastic. But this was too much, and waiting in between was getting harder and harder. Mica Amherst was an exception to his previous kills, he hadn't made hers look like a suicide as he had with the others. Some may take that as him being sloppy later on, but how else was he supposed to spread the warning as much as that allowed him to?
Well, now it was getting to him again. Texts and notes left on doorsteps, they weren't cutting it right now, and he needed to feel that fear. That's why he was currently waiting in the dark alley behind the bar that Beth Houston worked at, the same one that he'd nearly taken Leanne Kirk from. He had been waiting here for almost an hour, and he was sure that she would be getting off of work very soon, so he continued to wait for her. The alley was almost always abandoned, and he had no need to hide himself any more than he already was. Because the second that back door opened and he saw her, he pushed away from the wall that he was leaning against, and moved toward her. He hadn't intended on hurting her, but when he checked his pocket and realized that he had forgotten that small cloth, he had to improvise.
As she began walking, presumably toward her car, he followed only a few steps behind her, keeping close. Quickly, he lunged forward and grabbed her from behind, his arm immediately snaking around her throat. "Scream, and I slit your throat right here and now," he growled near her ear, the voice changer doing it's job and altering the way that he sounded. "Now," he continued, pushing her forward slightly, while keeping his grip on her. "As we make our way to the parking lot, you will see a van. Don't bother trying to memorize it, because by tomorrow, it'll be gone. I will guide you there, and you will get in. If you make any movement to get help, or try to get away, I will not hesitate to kill you. We're doing this the easy way, do not make me hurt you, Beth. Do you understand?"
