SUPERNATURALS

CHAPTER 9; THE SACRIFICES

"Where's Jake?" Ava asked as the group took the comfy booth at the back of the cozy cafe "work" Will replied as he sipped his milkshake grumpily, Ava raised an eyebrow "anyways let's start" said Sage "i assume you all the reports, right?" Sage asked, "yeah, and frankly it's disgusting" said Reese, Irena rolled her eyes "of course it's disgusting they're dead bodies" said Irena "anyways the only thing we found out about Emily Brit is that she's a sixteen year old virgin" said Adrian "same thing with Sandra and Anna" said Kimberly, "so what do the reports say?" Freddie asked, as everyone opened the reports "it says Emily was killed by a slit in her throat" Cal replied, "same thing with Sandra and Anna" said Cam, Will frowned "so why were their guts slit open?" he asked, "plus they have bruises on their ankles, necks and abdomen" Haylee added, "rope burn?" Reese suggested, "no, Anna she was hung by some thick roots around her neck" said Sage, "so the killer tied them up and slit their throats" said Reese "if tied them up they should have bruised on their ankles, and wrists" Freddie pointed out "the roots in the woods kept tripping me, so since all of them were killed in the woods i assume he tripped them with the roots probably set a trap or something and dragged them to were he could kill them since they have bruises under their arms, torsos and abdomen" said Irena "that makes sense" said Reese, "guys if you zoom in, there's a sign on their foreheads" said Haylee, "a star in a circle" Adrian muttered "it's the same as the sign on the bark of the tree" said Hina, as Sage frowned, "three sixteen year old virgin girls, killed in the woods, death by slit throat and then their stomachs were slit, plus signs on the tree barks and their foreheads" said Sage putting all the facts together "the stomach slit could have been to throw the police off" said Hina "no the reports say that the victims were dead for about thirty minutes before their stomachs were slit" said Reese, "and the slits themselves it's not messy like normal murder cases its precise almost like a surgical incision just bigger" said Adrian "so the killer wasn't in a rush" said Irena "hey, guys the reports say their livers are missing" said Freddie, "sixteen year old virgins...." Sage muttered "these aren't murders their sacrifices" said Reese, "for what?" Irena asked "Reese is right these reports are exact replicas of each other, plus the slits and the missing livers" said Sage, "so why are they sacrificing?" Adrian asked "that's what we need to find out" said Sage.

The group separated as they left the cafe with Will promising to update Jake, Cal hopped on his bike and pedaled down the street, Cam beside him, "sacrifices, huh?" he said, "what's going to happen? will the killer keep sacrificing virgin teenage  girls?" Cal asked as Cam shrugged "i don't know but i hope we figure it out soon" said Cam, "yeah me too" said Cal, "well here's my stop see you tomorrow" said Cam, "see you" Cal. Cal wheeled his bike to the garage and took off his shoes at the doorstep, padding into the living room in his socks, he could her Bill stomping around, he frowned and tossed his bag on the couch, he padded into the kitchen where Bill was yelling into the telephone, Cal frowned as he opened the fridge and took out a carton of juice and poured a glass for himself, he sipped the juice waiting for Bill to finish his phone call. Five minutes later Bill slammed down the receiver and angrily grabbed his coat, "what happened?" Cal asked as Bill put on his hat "someone stole the bodies" he replied.

" close the library when you're done" said Mr. Ronsith as he left "sure" Jake replied, once Mr. Ronsith was gone he opened the diary again and continued reading 'it was a lovely dream one where i was family who i knew in reality where long gone, i enjoyed these dreams, the dreams  gave me courage to live each day to the fullest, i was never sad again because i knew if i wanted to see my family again all i had to do was slumber. Today however was different in my dream instead of my family it was a huge beautiful oak tree placed in the center of a lush green plain even though winter was nearing, the tree shone brightly i thought to myself that surely it was a tree crafted by the gods, and as if entrance i touched one of the delicate branches of the tree, the feeling was electric, it felt like nothing i had ever felt before-'
