The sun comes up and the day starts of with the usual warmth and light the sun provides, yet no one can determine what's up to come.

A teenage girl lie on her bed with her fingers digitting on the phone. She does not wish to go to school as her parents are out of town. She rather stay in bed with her phone and her imagination. She glances out of the window and sees the dim sun, as it rises it becomes more bright.

She is very bored and also lazy. The phone rings. "hello?", she answers it with a questionable tone. The speaker replies "are you not going to come to school today also?".

She identifies the speaker and replies "no, I'm too tiered to come".

"Mam is going to be pretty mad, because you already missed two classes this week" the speaker notifies her.

She replies with a stubborn tone "it's not my fault that the classes she take are all so boring, I really hate her cause she simply gets mad at me".

"that's because you always disobey her and never seem to care about what she thinks about you" the speaker argues.

"that's cause I really don't care, I hate the school itself and I hope something happens and I get out of that school" she rages.

"well anyway bye. I gotta reach school in time cause Mam put me in charge of cleaning the classroom" the speaker cuts the phone in a hurry.

She continues with her activities. She goes to the kitchen and searches the fridge for a snack. She finds a chocolate bar and she is delighted by the sight. She starts to enjoy the sweetness of the chocolate and as she was about to finish it the phone rings again. She attends the call. The speaker starts off with a soft "good morning".

This time it's not a familiar voice, so she questions "who is this?". A few seconds passed with a scary silence. She repeats her question. This time the speaker replies, "please come out to the main hall".

She gets worried and asks "who are you? What do you want?".

The speaker replies "you are all I want". After this a lot of static is heard for sometime then she cuts the phone and ................................................................ ...............................................................................................................................................

the door of flat 3B, next to the girls room 3C, opens and an aged women comes out. She see's something very unexpected she is horrified and she screams at the top of her voice out of fear. Hearing her sound, most of the people from that floor comes out running. They see the sight, the sight of a body cut up in many parts and blood everywhere. They observe the body carefully and recognizes that it was the girl from flat 3C. They also notice something that can't be missed, something written in blood, it was 'LUCY'. They immediately call the police.

They arrived after sometime. The body was taken away to the forensic department for further investigation. The officer was puzzled because whoever did the crime had left the bloody knife used for murder there itself. And the officer was scared because this was not nearly the first time incidents like this have happened. This same type of murder happened many times before. But still there is no relation between the victims. Yet all of it happened in the same place, Cleveland.

The officer went to the forensic department for more information about the murder. The doctor in charge told him that there was no sign of any struggle or resistance, therefore either the girl must have been unconscious or she was wilfully being killed. The first option is not that much acceptable because no fatal cuts where found, she had died out of blood loss, so if she was unconscious she would gain conciousness when the first cut was made and she could have called for help. She was not paralyzed either because we couldn't find any type of chemicals that could cause paralysis or any other factors that could have led to paralysis

The officer said "so she must have been wilfully letting the murderer kill her". The doctor accepted the possibility.

"that might not be possible either" a person wearing a long lab coat spoke out, behind the officer. The officer turned around, with rage in his face "oh is that so? Why is that?" the officer asked. "because even if she wanted to get killed by him, she could never have been able to do it without screaming, and if she had screamed, other people in the same floor would have noticed". The officer at first wonders and then realizes that it was the truth. He then wipes off the anger from his face and asked the person "who are you?". "The person replies turning around "oh, nobody, just an innoscent by stander, don't mind me". The person walks out of the department to his house.

He is about 25 yrs old, shabby looking, very gloomy person who does not seem to get much sleep. He is wearing a frameless specs, a black T-shirt under the long white lab coat, a bit torn blue jeans, dark black hair, a fair complexion, blue eyes.

He reached his villa, He stays there alone. He goes inside takes a book from the shelf and starts reading it. By this time the sun went down, and the moon came up. The stars shine in the sky with a smell of bloodshed and fear in the air.
