WATSON vol. 1

CHAPTER 4.2 - Amelia Watson

"E-Eeehh... You're really a Grim Reaper?", I asked.

"If you don't believe me then so be it, but I don't think your guts tells you that I'm not a real one.", Jack replied.

I don't know if he's really a Grim Reaper, or just a delusional teenager who thinks he's a Grim Reaper. But either way, he's killed way too many woman, all of that just to trap me.

"You still seem to be confused.", Jack said.

"Of course I am, how will you prove to me that you're really a Grim Reaper?"

Jack went silent for a moment, maybe he's thinking of a way to prove himself that he's really a Grim Reaper from the underworld.

"I just have enough proof to show you.", Jack said in an intimidating tone.

Jack started to walk around the room, after that he snapped his fingers, resulting most of the candles to go out.
After doing that, he looked back at me and grinned. I felt uncomfortable seeing that grin.

After grinning at me, he turned back again and asked me to do something.

"Watson, can you slowly walk towards me?", Jack asked.

"Why should I...?"

I have to be cautious, since I don't know when he'll strike and kill me. Knowing that he's already killed so many woman, makes me think that he's definitely the type of person to trick me.

"You have no need to worry, for I will not slice you to bits.", Jack said.

I couldn't say anything, but I also didn't have a choice but to follow what he asked me to do..

I stepped one foot forward, he didn't say anything. I stepped another foot forward, he still remained silent. Since he's not saying anything yet, I started to walk slowly, as I continued walking, my heart beated faster and faster. I don't know what he's got in store, but I have to be careful at any times..

"Stop.", Jack said.

I stopped walking after Jack said that.

"Look down, Watson.", Jack said as he tilted his head towards me.

"Look.. down..?", I asked myself.

I was facing him the whole time because I was cautious about when he'd strike, but I started to look down slowly but surely while still facing him. As my head looked down, I did the same thing with my eyes as well. And what I saw, were cards on the floor and they're all facing down.

"Do you see it?", Jack asked.

"C-Cards...? Why cards..?", I asked.

"You still don't get it?", Jack asked.

"Don't tell me that you want to play poker against me..?", I said as I looked at Jack again.

"No.. But we're going to play something else that's even more entertaining than poker."

More entertaining? Like what exactly?

"I suppose you still don't get it.. Well, I suppose I'll need to flip them up."

After Jack said that, I heard a flipping sound from below. And when I looked down again.. The cards.. Are all flipped. And as I stared at it carefully, I noticed that.. All of the cards have the name... Amelia.

As soon as I saw those, my heart started to beat faster than before, I didn't know what to think. What is this?? Is this another trick??

"I suppose you're confused by now. But let me introduce to you, all the woman that I killed."
