CHAPTER 2: THE GROVE SAGE ACADEMY CASE (MISSING BODIES)

The day is already over and it's already night. I went back home not feeling well.

"Welcome home, Scar," Mom greeted. I ignore it at start to walk upstairs. "Scar, is something wrong?"

I stopped walking. Should I tell her? "No, mom. I'm just tired," I answered. My brain is quite tired of thinking too much about what happened earlier than listening to class.

"Okay, child. Are you hungry? I just finished cooking," she asked. For what happened earlier, I don't feel like cooking.

"No, mom. I'm not hungry,"

"Then, if you feel like eating something there will be still leftovers. You can heat it," I nodded." Oh right! Your uncle is back, do you want to talk to him? It's been a long time since you two talked,"

I look at my mom when an idea pops up in my mind. I ran down to stairs and went in front of my mom.

"Mom, can I meet Uncle tomorrow? I need to talk to him about something important," I said excitedly.

My uncle is a police officer, he can surely help me. "If this is your way to skip classes, then no. Scarlet, you are already an 18-year-old girl. You can't keep skipping classes, you are not a child anymore but a lady. So no, you can't," she scolds. What do I expect from my mom? She will just keep nagging me about me to study.

"Mom, you don't need to worry about my studies. Even if I skip my classes I never fail any subject. So please, let me talk to Uncle tomorrow," I beg.

"Correction, little brat. You almost failed a subject before. So don't brag about me about your grades," she counters. If this is a school debate I can win but when it comes to my mom, I can't. She knows me too well that I can't counter her words.

"Mom, please," I gave her a small smile. I need to convince her to meet my uncle. It's my only chance. I can't let someone die tomorrow.

She keeps looking at me and finally gave in. "Fine, just tomorrow," she agreed.

"Yes! Thank you! Thank you!," I shouted. I hug and kiss her multiple times.

"Hayst! This kid. You're already a grown-up but still acting like a kid," she said. I separated myself from Mom and run upstairs.

I reach my room and lay on my bed. "D**n j**k, whoever he is, I swear to God I'm going to kill him for causing such a ruckus in my life. He dare to kill my classmates and threatened me," I said to myself.

Why is he doing this to me? I didn't offend anyone before or even hurt someone. So why? Why is this happening? Yes, there are so many who hate me but not to the point that they need to kill someone. This is insane! I'm not the type who got scared of something but now, I'm scared. I'm afraid of what might he do to the people around me. I'm scared to lose them.

I heard my phone ring indicating someone message me.

From: unknown
Hello little princess, hope you enjoy the show earlier. This will be the start of your happiness. You will never experience any sadness anymore, you will always be happy. Good night my princess.

~ Lady Griffin

I immediately sat up after I read the message. F**k! There is more than one killer. This is troublesome. I can't figure out one now I discovered it's two of them!

I bite my nails and start to think. I can't figure out who is this Lady Griffin but I can figure out who is Reaper.

Based on the gunshots earlier there was a gap of 3-5 seconds, meaning the one who killed my classmates will be this Reaper. I don't know why his the first that comes to my mind but looking at his messages to me. His message scares me the most. I need to set up a plan to know where the bodies are and who is Reaper.
