City of fear ~ [Athena's crime story]

Chapter 2

I woke up with a pounding in my head. It got louder and louder every second until I regocnized police sirens as well. My eyes widen as they start hamming against my door again. I panicked, looking to Myra and saw that she was slowly waking up.

I ran, I didn't even care about my pyjamas right know. I quickly opened the door as the first police officers started to look right into my face with frustration.

,,Good morning, miss- uh" he looks at my bell sign ,,Miss Vel, I have to ask you some questions, do you mind if I come in?" I knew that it wasn't a question so I already stepped aside to let him in.

He followed me into my kitchen, to sit down. As I did the same he already began talking.

,,So have you heard about yesterday, early morning? Anything specifically?"

,,No sir, I don't get the point. What's off?"

,,A murder happened near here. I need to talk to everyone who has been here the last two days, have you?"

,,I was in town actually, visiting my best friend. But that sounds very serious if we're talking about murders here"

"Yeah, I am just doing my job and try to find something out. I don't think that a young woman like you could have done something brutal. Thank you for the answers, have a good day and stay safe!"

,,Thank you sir, and good luck!"

I brought the officer back to my door and said goodbye. As I close the door, I wanted to exhale heavily but i'm glad I didn't. Myra stood behind me with a pretty shocked face.

,,What the fuck was that?"

,,I don't even know, police just asked random questions abt the last two days because of a murder happened here. I can't think of a way to believe that but anyway."

I smiled at her and changed the topic to not make stuff obvious.

She did have plans today, she was going on date #532 with her boyfriend. Because Mr. Emric doesn't need me today, I'll just go out all by myself, eat dinner or stuff I usually do.

*Timeskip, 3 hours*

Myra looked into the mirror one last time. She is the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. But she probably already knows that I think that way so I keep my mouth shut. As she leaves my apartment I hug her good-bye and close the door.

As I already said, I don't have to work today. So I can do what ever I want... Uh what do I do? I could eat dinner like I always do, or go to a Library with a coffee and sit down to read for hours. I smile at myself as I think about the second option, because that is literally the opposite of the things I enjoy. I mean I am obsessed with coffee, but reading? Hell nah.

I go to my bedroom and take the laptop with me. Maybe its a good idea to rest a bit. As I sit down I realised that I haven't watched my current show further yet. I am a huge fan of dystopian movies / series, so I found myself watching "Revolution". The characters are kinda hot and the plot is innovative. Maybe I even watched four or five episodes.

After I watched 'Revolution' for about 3 hours, I got up again and thought about new stuff to keep myself busy. I really enjoy being productive, but usually I am lacking of motivation.

I am currently trying to get into 'Step West Academy' to study Mathematics. Its the only thing I was really good at in school. So why not make it a thing? I don't really know what I wanna do for living, but I don't have to think about these things as long Mr. Emric pays well enough. I am sure he wants to keep me practically forever because my skills are perilous but excellent.

I go to my backpack which sits across the room and get my paper-block out with my math book. Maybe doing a few exercises won't hurt. So I put my random stuff aside to make room on my desk and put on my stuff plus a pencil, a rubber, a red & black gel-pen and a triangle ruler to start.

*Timeskip 05:00pm*

The whole afternoon went by and I see the sun slowly set across my window. My glass infront of me is still full of water, I didn't even take one sip. I don't feel like drinking right now so I pour the water into my plant pot. The plants in my desk need more water then I do right now anyway.

I get a notification from my phone, its Myra. Probably her talking about how her date went with Malak. It seemed to be very romantic, even with good food. I am glad that she had fun, as good as I know her, I am pretty sure that she comes home tipsy.

I start to clean up my desk and decide to fully water my plants. I put the books back in my backpack and put the other stationary to their place. I am walking to the kitchen to get water, right as I hear the doorbell ring. I open the door to see my tipsy little Myra. I of course let her in and help her get out of her shoes. She makes herself comfy on the couch and I quickly get water for my plants. On my way back I put a cozy blanket over Myra so she can rest for a bit. She can take her make up off later. I put my water back down and take a look at my plants. I finally took good care of 'em. Sometimes I really amuse myself...

I walk to the Livingroom, just to see Myra cozy and half asleep on my couch. I open the window to let in some fresh air and walk back to my bedroom. I see that I already cleaned up everything so I finally go under my warm bedsheets again. Because it's only 06:00pm yet, I put on 'Revolution' and watch a few episodes.

Heyy, this chapter probably is boring. But I promise it'll get better soon, Ly!
