The Dark Divine - A Tale Of Evil

Stalking, Killing, Hanging, Hiding

Luigi began following the search party. Once he drew near, he felt a sudden cold feeling.
He took a deep breath, relaxing for a second.
He looked back to the corpse he carried. He winced for a second. He began to continue following them, beginning to frown slightly. Eventually, he drew near. Luigi continued following them, watching intently, retreating when someone turned around.
He heard a low pitched animalistic growl and began to back off from the party. Luigi paused for a moment, only to realise that he did that.
A few of the people searching for him turned around.
"What was that?"
"I don't know..."
"Well, maybe we should do a headcount, I noticed that koopa wasn't here."
Luigi flinched when he heard that. They're going to notice the koopa was gone. And what if they saw him?
Sure, he was masked, so he wouldn't be recognized, but he still wondered.
They checked over everyone and, unsurprisingly, they noticed one of their own was not there.
They reasoned maybe he went home, out of blatant optimism.
Those poor fools.
The search party then continued on their way, and so, he followed.
Eventually, the controlling force had him going around them, getting ahead of the party, not staying behind them.
He found that a bit risky.
Soon, he was a good ways ahead. He took a knife from his pocket and began to cut the koopa open, pulling out his victim's intestines. Carefully, trying not to be too noisy in doing so, he wrapped the intestines around the koopa's neck, tightening them as most he can. He began to hang the koopa from a branch, looking at the morbid sight blankly for a while.
He could hear them approach.
Luigi began to retreat, but it was a messy escape. He made plenty of noise as he hid, and instinctively, he clamped his hands over his mouth, or rather, his mask's mouth.
"Hey! I heard something over this way!" Someone called. Luigi bit his lip in nervous anticipation, ready to run if they get too close.
They began to emerge, seeing the hanging corpse.
They were horrified. Some people screamed at the sight.
One person, a young yellow-spotted toad approached the body.
"It looks like someone managed to get him while nobody was looking. But the question is, what kind of sick freak would do this to someone?"
Luigi began fidgeting. He was that sick freak.
