How could it be?
Articles rung with the questions,
the wonders.

Elise Kiesel,
the murderer?
or the victim?
How could it be?
This was not a case like Owen Shrine's.
No this was different.

Because 4 murders later Elise released a video, of herself, killing herself?
It couldn't be. 

No something wasn't right.
Something wasn't right.

If only it had clicked,
if only I had remembered,
that a certain attendee of Reinwood high wanted to major in computer sciences.
If only I had remembered...

Because days later,
 while people were scattering to discover the truth,
the killer struck again. 

A double kill. 

Marcy Jones and Kelly Briar.
Newly made cheerleaders at their school,
only 13.

Such young souls,
could've had such wonderful lives...
Had such wonderful lives, actually, at least until their deaths.

At least until they were binded by the throat together, 
eyes cut through.

The chain tied around their necks read one thing and one thing only,
"Don't doubt." 

Don't doubt.
Don't doubt.
Don't doubt. 

Nobody went anywhere without a weapon on them,
not even the children. 

Which was a mistake.

Because the next victim died not of the murder weapon of the killer,
but of the victims own protection. 

Poor little Matthew Thompson died at the hands of his own knife, tied to the lamp post of his school limbs only connected by a single force of bone,
organs fallen completely as he hung loosely upside down. 

He was tied with chains,
chains,
chains,
chains again,
and who always wore chains?

Well.
You'll know soon enough.
