Deaths Embrace

Chapter 10

"Camilla Clemont was found dead in her apartment this morning, the cause of death was suicide."

So, Camilla, even in death you're still bothering me, but this is good news, a suicide is better than murder.

I think it was about time I rewarded Lenard with a pay raise, or perhaps a holiday, or perhaps I shall give him both.

"Very tragic, she was an extraordinary young woman." I said, with a frown.

"We apologize for coming here like this, we had no idea a fundraiser was taking place right now, but the family would like to put this case to rest now rather than later." One officer said, a guilty look on his face.

"We hope you don't mind if we ask you a few questions?"

Questions is exactly what I do mine, but if I used an excuse now or perhaps glamour them into leaving, they'd only just come back.

"Of-course, anything I can do to help the family get through this difficult time."

The officer speaking clears his throat before nodding. "From what we've been told by the family is that she was er... quite infatuated with you, to the point one man might find a bit annoying, lots of calls etc."

Infatuated isn't taking the case far enough, the dreaded woman had much more going on inside that head of hers, right up until the end.

"Yes." I sigh. "She told me how she felt about a month ago, to which I gently let her down, I thought the matter was done but she was relentless."

"Relentless how?" He asked.

Well, she broke into my house, stole my things, not to mention she was trying to blackmail me with my deepest darkest secret, which she found out by stalking around my home in the late of night.

"I'm sure her family told you that she wasn't well? I don't wish to speak ill of the dead officer."

He nodded his head and grunted. "Yes, well, we'd just like to make sure, we heard the gist of it, it even turned our heads..." He laughed.

"She thought you were a vampire and were trying to eat her! " The other officer said, as they both laugh.

Camilla oh Camilla... I had just simply wanted to kill you, nothing else, and I did just that, I would not have eaten her if she had begged me right at the end, she tried to threaten me into a corner, which was the case of her downfall.

Her blood disgusted me right up until the end.

"I felt sorry for her, so I didn't report her, but I told her father what she was doing and as far as I was concerned, that was the end of it."

"She was in love with me, and she was clearly having a mental break down." I say, shaking my head.

"I never thought she'd do something as reckless as kill herself, if I had known she was this sick, I could've done more to help her."

They begin writing down something in their notebook before then close it shut and put it in their pocket. "Well, thank you for your time."

"If you need anything, please don't hesitate to contact me directly." I said, smiling as I shook both of their hands.

"Thank you, Mr. Grant, looks like we got everything we came for, and again, I'm sorry for this, we hope you have a good night."

With that, I led them outside the empty room we were in and back into the hallway as the charity was going on in the large room down the hall.

To my surprise, as the officers left a woman was leaning against a wall on her phone, and that woman was none other than Eloise Anderby.

She had not yet noticed me, so I sneaked up behind her and looked at what she was so focused on looking at on her phone.
