The Smiling Mannequin

Spree

The woman shrieked. "This is your own fault." Christopher whispered to her bleeding ear. He stabbed her once again, and left her dead on the blacktop.

"Meranda Ledene
26 years old
May 13, 1996 -- January 12, 2020
Found dead at the Street Park blacktop unknownly
Possibly killed herself

Overly 120 people have been killed this month, and for and odd reason with the worst criminal records. We think it might be police men or the government, but it shall remain a mystery.

"That's terrible." Peter said lying on Christopher's shoulder. "There's been a lot of killings recently, that's a little concerning. But atleast its bad people." Christopher replied, typing on his computer. Peter looks at Christopher's computer and sits up a little more. "No no no, he died in 1990." "What? No he didn't." "Yes, yes he did, Chris." //
He thought about it for a few seconds then sighed. "I guess you're right." He mumbled. "I thought you read the article?" Peter chuckled giving him a kiss on the head and looking at his work. "I did, I just forgot I suppose." He continued typing. "Atleast you're good at history, smiley face." Peter continued, going back on his phone. "You're very sweet for helping me Peter." Christopher said to him fondly. Peter looks at him then a smile wipes onto his face. "It's no problem, I'm always here to help, Christopher."

[A beautiful afternoon of studying and walking around town goes by with Peter and Christopher. Their love for eachother is so visible, and neither of them even try to hide it. They love eachother-dearly.]

"Now, where's Leslie and Peter♪ ?" Christopher asked himself. Tilda giggled, and went off to Aunt Jess. After a few mintues of struggling, Christopher found Leslie but ran out of time for Peter. "That was fun!" Leslie exclaims happily. Peter smiled and yawned. "I think it's getting a little late, I should go." "May I walk you home?" Christopher asked. "Yeah of course, if that's not too much trouble."

They both then walked outside and chatted on their way to Peter's home. "Oh, if you're not too tired yet would you like to meet my father? He's a very sweet man but he can get himself a little off-hand." Peter asked with his head down. He felt bad he was holding him back a lot to do stuff but hoped Christopher wouldn't mind. "I'd love to, I still have some spare time I just gotta get to work soon alright?" Christopher replied. Peter opens the door and walks in with Christopher. "Dad I'm home!" Peter yelled walking up the steps. He walked to the kitchen where a man in his 60's was making some food. "Greetings my dear child and his, apprentice!" The man said graciously. Christopher tilted his head, then smiled and waved to the man. "Sorry Christopher, he's a scientist and has some head problems so he kinda fantasies about being a magic wizard." Peter said a little embarrassed. "Oh? That's pretty cool. A scientist thinking he's a wizard, ironic." Christopher said smiling. "Hey! I do not have head problems! He's a liar, my son is a liar!" The man yelled.

After a bit of hanging out with Peter and his dad, Christopher headed home all tired. "Earth to Christopher it took you that long to drop off Peter?! I thought you got killed!" Aunt Jessie yelled as Christopher wobbled to his room. "Uh-huh, keep talking Aunt Jess," he then blurted before shutting his door. He layed in his bed and texted Peter [goodnight] before falling asleep.

-Peter's pov-

I got up from bed and changed into my uniform my dad had just flattened. I texted Christopher [Goodmorning!] since I hadn't texted him a goodnight last night as he did. I ate breakfast and headed to school-running into Christopher and Al. "Oh hello!" I said, reaching up to kiss Christopher's head and waving at Al. "Gosh sometimes you guys try too much," Al mumbled. "Don't even talk, look at yourself in the mirror with Lady." Christopher replied wrapping his arm around me. I sighed and kept walking along with them looking around for Lady. "Speaking of Lady, where is she?" I asked. Al and Christopher then stopped at their tracks and looked around. "Actually, I haven't seen her since last night." Al said after examining around. "Try calling her then idiot." Christopher says smacking him on the shoulder. "Yeah yeah," Al murmured under his breath. He took his phone out of his bag and called Lady. buzz, buzz.. ring, ring!

As all three of us looked around for the ringing, I looked at the side of the school building hearing the ringing coming from there most. "I can hear it from over here," I said, walking towards the ringing. Christopher and Al started following behind me and as we peeped our heads, crack!

Lady muffly screamed, hitting her back to the wall as another girl had twisted her arm and as a man was standing infront of them recording. We first stood there, shocked. Then, Al stepped forward and shoved the girl down. Christopher ran for Lady and picked her up as she burst into tears. I took the man's phone and threw it over the gates and down the rocky hills. The other girl then ran off with the man as Al chased them down. Christopher removed the cover on Lady's mouth as she hugged him tightly and sobbed. "Hey! I heard a crash!" A familiar looking girl ran over. I looked at her and realized who she was. "Nova?" I exclaimed. She looked at me as her eyes went bright. "Peter," she said "Peter!"

I shook my head. "Y-you um need to help my friend please, her arm got twisted and the person who did this is surely in trouble now!" I told her pointing over to Christopher and Lady. Nova glanced at me a last time, then rushed over to Lady. Nova. She was a professional doctor and always kept a safety kit with her. She's very smart, and I admire her for her kindness! She used to be my bestfriend in elementary school, but we got separated. And I surely didn't recall her being in the school's attendance records! She helped Lady out then called an ambulance. Al was walking back as the ambulance left all sweaty, muddy, dirty, a bit bruised, he looked like a pig right now and I kinda wanted to laugh, but obviously didn't since it wasn't the right time to. "I hope she'll be okay." Christopher said softly. He looked so worried, I knew he was caring for his closest friends and family. That's why I love him so much. "That girl got expelled on the spot, and the guy got detention for a month and a suspension." Al then said. "Should we go meet Lady at the hospital?" I asked. Al and Christopher agreed, so we headed over. I hoped.- I hoped hard that Nova would let me talk to her. And she wouldn't be mad at me. I hoped, and just hoped.
