Chapter 2 - Prolouge

It can't be the end! No, it can't at all. Ashlyn stared at the dead body in front of her, she just can't believe that she witnessed a real murder in her home.

****

"Who's body is it?"

Both girls looked at the body like it were going to be alive again and say hi to them or something.

*****

No-one really knows who's body this could be. It could be a worker from a company or some author that had a horrible accident with their editor.

Then again, Ashlyn was almost "mortified" when she saw the dead body just laying there and not able to see if she or he is still alive or not.

*****

However the case being, things might change for others and their lives and Ashlyn just has to stare at this dead body the blood around the dead person.

Now, the only problem for her is to solve the mystery of this person, which could be either someone "important" or someone that was known to the world.

****

Her question was always like "who's that person?" or there would be more questions that "could" be answered someday.

However, Ashlyn looked as if she heard a ghost since she heard a few whispers in the back which did freak her out a bit other than that she still kept looking for clues.

***

"Don't you think it's wrong of you to look or even investigate this person's life, ash? I think, I mean, I don't have a say in this mystery solving thing! But, don't you think it's kind of wrong for you to do this! It's not your life!"

Emma said to Ashlyn with a shaky but scared tone of voice that she put on and looked at the body there covered in a pool of blood.

Further on, they'll discover more information about this person's death and why they were killed for that reason to be.

*****

But, most people won't EVER understand the way other friends will be with them when trying to solve a mystery like this one.

"Why?" Is the question EVERYONE should be asking then anyone could get the answers behind each of those questions.

Whether the case, both Ashlyn and her friend Emma were now looking for clues but what they don't know is that they're both being watched from a house.

***

"Which house?" The house opposite the road that no-one can understand or even think about at all.

Why is that you must ask? Well then, Ashlyn has found fingerprints of the "killer", the killer that we don't know EXACTLY for the thing.

Other things that they found was a piece of clothing in the bathroom, why? Ashlyn and Emma are still trying to figure out the problems and causes that they could solve quickly.

****

Other than those small things that can be solved some of the people have realized that there are "problems" in the town.

"What problems are there to be solved for this mystery?"

****

Well that's one thing which anyone can help with but people won't exactly know those small problems, both girls are still looking for other clues like fingerprints, weapons, clothes and others etc.

That's when Emma screamed her lungs out and Ashlyn dashed over to her friend to find some "closest" in the middle of a bedroom that looked as if it could be a nursery room for a baby.

****

Now, the question goes further and stands on the "what?" "who?" "why?" "when?" "where?" and the "how?" Those few questions that could be asked in any way to a person.

That being said, further future stories will be solved and discovered by these two teenagers Ashlyn Anderson and Emma Wilson.

Then again, they were still up and going on this whole "mystery" thing that's been going back and forth with both Ashlyn and Emma trying to get it solved and done.

*****

Further in the case, Ashlyn discovered an unknown number on a piece of paper that the number said not her or her friend knew about at all.

Which brings further questions for them both and so forth other than that to be expected is just to ask for an interrogation with the detective soon.

Which later on, we see that Ashlyn found… keys? Keys to a room that's been abandoned for many many many years now and might not be in great useage anymore.

****

It's understandable if it can't be in great use for those who couldn't ever open the door or something like that.

But as of now, anyone could possibly try to solve this whole mystery further in their future ahead of them and so forth.

Future plans might come to an end for Emma. No-one will know what might come for her in her sturdy but spooky pathway, or people will think she's gone crazy to an extent of needing therapy or something that is for her needs.

****

Why? No-one really knows at all for Emma's path and what she might consider as a career at all for herself and her life for the future ahead.

To place it all in hand for her. No-one can see her becoming what she ACTUALLY might consider doing in the future.

She wanted to ALWAYS be an actress but… if Ashlyn knows that someone or something is stalking her friend.

****

Then, Emma will not be that actress that she's wanted to be as a little girl which was her dream come true ever since.

Further she might have to reconsider Emma's own career life and her choices but Emma won't get that done if she's getting stalked about in the lurking area that could be having creeps or pedophiles around her house or apartment that she lives in.

****

No-one has ever seen what she's been studying all about which is a big concern for others around Emma to NOT know about her career choices as a University student in her first year other things might cut her off on life like the amount of debt she might be in.

Emma wants to go study in being an actress but she felt someone's eyes on her from the back of her mind she could tell that something's WRONG though she couldn't figure it out yet at all whatsoever she knows that she might go crazy and pull her hair out.

****

Then… a twig snapped and shit!

She's now running. She's running for her life and she knows that Ashlyn is probably at home with her boyfriend or something but Emma's VERY out of breath which she's running for her LIFE so bad she can't even focus to breathe for herself at all.

She has NO idea who's chasing her and what she's running for her life. She's scared and wants to get in her car to drive to her mom's house IMMEDIATELY without knowing about this person or thing that's growling at her howling EVEN.

****

Emma wants to fucking cry for her life until she...

…...

Now she fell in a hole. Her limbs feel broken, she feels dead for life and can't move at all even if she moves to the side she feels… like she's being gutted out?

She doesn't know this feeling but… it feels strange to her?

Emma lays there as some creature eats on her. She's feeling free! Free from the world no concerns at all even if there was ANY to begin with she'd be dead by the time she wants to go for actressing for her classes. Oh god! For her mom…

****

Now she feels like she NEEDS to wake up! She needs to get to her mom's place, she can't just die out here in the middle of nowhere?!

But…It feels so nice to lie here and die out in the cold rainy weather. She knows she won't be bothered about looking for Ashlyn, her best friend.

****

Even if she wanted to do that. It's too late for Emma to be rescued or even to survive this whole thing or even to beat the sickness that just overcame her at the moment that this "thing" is eating on her.

She doesn't know anymore! She's just laying there.. her blood pooling around her body as she lays there limp as she can be. She won't survive this hard HIT. After how many hours have passed by she feels so numb like she can't feel anything at all of how it happened.

****

How did it happen? Not even Emma knows how she got in there in the first place or how she was being neared to be eaten and gutted out by this "creature" type of thing that's been hitting and punching her like the mannequin she could be to this creature of a thing.

Further onwards on things like these, Emma still laid as if she just died her last breath before she could simply close her eyes and see the world vanish in front of her like that but it might or might not really happen to her at all which none will ACTUALLY know about Emma in the first place.

****

How? That's possible for it to happen while Emma is trying to keep her eyes open at all possible and "if" they both slip closed but when she opened them again the creature hissed and growled at her as she kept them open as she could while she was slipping back to sleep.

No-one can really blame Emma for having such an "attack" by a wild creature that could be harmed by any kind of person or even another animal in the possible cause of the same area as them.

****

Further, Emma should've tried to get up by herself but she can't move her legs or anything AT all even if she's tried she still can't move a muscle because of how numb she is in a state of not being able to move any of her limbs in her body at all.

But… that night after the "creature" was chased away from the University student (Emma Wilson) was found dead and no longer breathing. People tried to rescue her and bring her back to life but they could see how beaten she was and how the creature ate on her insides and her systems have been destroyed in a bad position.

***

But with that being the case, the police arrived at the crime scene IMMEDIATELY without having to worry of "who?" sent that emergency code to them and let them know there's been a crime that happened at 11 o'clock at night when it was raining heavily at the time.

Further with it, things have been in a tight spot for Ashlyn who discovered that her friend Emma Wilson was being beaten, being stalked and watched around her University campus and she was eaten by a mysterious "creature" that is unknown in their town called "Peace-loving".

Which the case of that, could be in EVERY WAY different compared to the ones that the police department have discovered about girls and boys either in University or in Highschool that were beaten and bruised by their abuser or by their step-parent that had happened before in the past of their crimes.

****

"Hmm, seems like it's another of those cases, right detective?"

One of the female cops asked the detective who hummed in agreement and would give a nod once or twice in agreeing with her about the dead body in the rain in front of both.

*****

"That seems like it. But, who could be behind all of this? Could you think of names, officer Jennah?"

The detective asked Jennah which she scrolled through her contacts list on her phone to see if there could be ANY possibility of the killer or thing that had killed (Emma Wilson).

*****

But still that can be solved quite quickly and further for the future ahead of them.

Though, other things which might have the police and others to get involved and help in where they can help to solve this mystery about Emma Wilson's death even if they don't know why or how the death happened or even took place of the case that happened.

While the police and detectives continued their investigation of the crime scene, one of the rookies came rushing to them out of breath and she looked like she'd been bitten by an animal or some creature or even a thing of sorts.

******

"Officer Jennah! I-I saw something in the woods! It's bigger than all of us! And that could be the thing that attacked Emma Wilson! It got me!"

The young rookie said out of breath as she came holding onto the bleeding and bitten wound to stop the bleeding from happening further.

*****

However, things went further and soon a few of their new rookies kept going missing out of the blue which can be of a lot of troublesome problems for others around them and things kept getting darker and darker without any sign of it being there at all.

"Why is that happening out of the blue?"

****

Well, there have been some unspeakable reasons for this whole mystery thing going on around in the "Peace-loving" town which is the safe part of town that Ashlyn and the lot lives in which has them questioning the police A LOT and other departments that haven't come back to them yet.

Other things might be a good living for them and that sort.

*****

But further, they might need to investigate into the town deeper and further to find the right things for themselves and for others that need to know about these kinds of mystery solving cases.

Though for the case currently that needs to be solved. No-one can see why they "should" be solved for those reasons; some don't even know why they have killers around their part of town.

*****

They don't WANT to know why or to let others to know why either.

Otherwise, things will get out of hand and in the wrong ways that EVERYONE is aware of but those things will be spoken about soon.

******

Further on, the murders kept happening like every two - three seconds per count which is awkwardly strange for the police to put their yellow tape up that says "crime in session".

Everyone has seen and heard of the crimes happening around all over town.

*****

Most have even heard of the wanted killer. They don't know who they are or what they want from the towns but all they know is that they kill.

Which could mean anything at this point. No one wants to ask why or how to the police or even the detectives that haven't retired from their jobs yet.

*****

At this point, no one wants to know about the killers or what they were in their past life to become like this.

Again, why would they want to know things like that about this town?

****

Well, it's something easy to spot if you're the victim of the dead member or of the friend or any other person that could be the close friend of the dead body.

So far the police have found a bracelet of the person who killed this young pregnant mother.

Then the detective came over to officer Jennah to talk further of the case of this dead mother and found some interesting news from the husband.

*****

"What did Mr. Lee tell you exactly, detective?"

Officer Jennah asked the detective which she gave a focused nod to the police woman.

*****

"Well, from my understanding of what I could find out from the husband was that his wife had an affair with her ex-fiance James. And her pregnancy was planned Jamie never wanted kids with her husband but with her previous lover and… he's been a mass murderer after he shot his father in the head. We got a lot of other information from James' mother. Mrs. Lewis told us a few stories about what her son did to his sisters. He did 18+ things with them and made sex tapes."

The detective summarized the whole thing to officer Jennah of what she got from Mr. Lee, the husband of Jamie who was found dead in their yard that morning.

***

Later on, while detective Jewel and officer Jennah searched for more information they found a ring.. who left their wedding band near the cemetery? That's odd.

Another question to be solved. That leaves this mystery to go further; they still don't know who the murderer was of Jamie Lee, the pregnant and expecting mother.

*****

It leaves the whole police department in questions with no further answers to be answered.

No-one can tell if Jamie was just a trans woman or just a heterosexual woman that had transplants all over her body.

****

Then again detective Jewel found a trans top that looked like men would wear… it clicked to the detective that Jamie was her female name but her name was…

Her name was… Jacob?

Jamie Lee was a woman but turned out to be trans before she got pregnant.

******

Her ex-fiance had done "things" to Jamie to force her to become a trans man.

What could be the reason for her to be like that?

What was James telling Jamie to be on the night she got pregnant with his child?

***

Was Jamie his sister or his aunt?

Who was Jamie before her pregnancy was even announced?

****

Did this person even exist in their town?

Was there even a woman named Jamie?

There are so many questions for the people of the town to answer they have a week and a half to answer them all.

***

How can that be done?

It's simple. They have to fill out a form to say "yes" "no" "maybe" "not at all" or "I have seen" in those following questions that have to be answered by late Friday night at 11pm.

That's the deadline for this form to be filled out. People of the "Peace-Loving" town are now scared to lose their families and homes.

They don't know who the killer could be at this point at all.

****

Whoever it is.. they should call the police.

They just found another dead body. But, this is only the beginning of a true crime story.
