Aurora's pov: After I left the diner I went to the morgue to view Riley's body. It was heartbreaking but she would want her killer to be found.
As I got to headquarters I parked my car outside and walked in greeted by the usual workers and security guards who were drinking their morning coffees.
I walked to the elevator, I saw Dr Rochester already waiting for me. I smiled at him.
"Aurora glad you could make it" Dr Rochester pressed the elevator button. "Pleasure is all mine" I waited for the elevator with Dr Rochester and we entered.
I pressed the ground floor down to the morgue it was a quiet experience. "I'm sorry about Riley" Dr Rochester grabbed my hand for sympathy.
I squeezed his hand back "it's okay"I said even though deep down I knew it wasn't okay and this needs to be stopped.
The elevator opened and we walked through the dark hallway to the morgue. But I Heard deep mumbling voices behind me.
"Is she okay? What happened."
"I don't know she won't wake up."
" I thought she was just sleeping."
I quickly turn around into the dark corridor leading away from the elevator but nobody was there.
"Aurora come along now let's not keep the officers waiting" I turned around and Dr Rochester was already to the entrance of the morgue.
It was cold down here very cold and kind of scary. I quickly sprinted towards the entrance to the morgue And opened it.
As I entered I saw officer O'Malley and Halley making notes about the victims. Dr Rochester gave a brief description of the fairytale Killer.
He wears a black suit and a puppet mask to conceal his identity. Calling himself the puppet master controlling the fairytale and how it plays out.
He decides your fate. He is the one in control.
Then Dr Rochester displays three autopsy cases
1. 24 year old Hannah Monroe dressed as Cinderella the heels of her feet cut of and eyes plucked out.
2. 22 year old Alice Fairchild dressed as Snow white no marks on her body just poison in her system specifically From a Red Apple.
Now 19 year old Riley Stevens dressed as Rapunzel and hanged by her hair.
As Dr Rochester explained more about the tragic deaths I began to realize.
The Grimm brothers.
"The Grimm brothers" I spoke everyone looked a me confused.
"The what" O'Malley said.
I briefly explained the old fairy tale of the Grimm brothers and how dark they were.
" the fairy tales were intended not just to entertain children, but also to educate them about the consequences of evil deeds. Basing that actions do have consequences and not everyone lives happily after after "
Officer Halley pov:
Once Aurora explained brothers Grimm then it clicked.
The book at the crime scene but what is the motive?
There is no connection to anything. Maybe we missed a key at the crime scene.
then Dr Rochester spoke "there must be a connection we must review each crime scene carefully."
He's right there is three of us and three crime scenes we will be able to track this down easily.
Dr Rochester pov: "Officer O'Malley will take the Cinderella case". I handed him the file. "Officer Halley will take the snow-white case" I handed her the file.
"Detective Reed will take Rapunzel,Go"
Officer O'Malley and Halley sprinted off to go look at the crime scenes while Detective Reed stood back.
She sat down and viewed Riley's file and just sat there
*Flashback*
Riley's Pov: After my shift I waited outside for Aurora to come and picked me up we made plans to go back to her house and watch all these nerdy movies.
I felt this shadow presence behind me and hands covered my eyes. "BOO" I shirked.
It was Aurora "hey Riles" she smiled at me and I smiled back I loved that nickname she gave me. She grab my hand and lead me to her car. She even opened the door for me.
Aurora's pov: I led her to car and opened the door for her. And I drove off to my House when we got there we decided to watch. The Dead Poets Society. One of her favorites.
We set up in the living room making a pillow fort with lots of snacks and blankets ready for the film during the middle of it she grabbed my hand.
Dr Rochester pov: I grabbed Aurora's hand to bring her out of the trance. "Aurora it's time to go, want me to come with you?"
Aurora got up sadly"no it's fine just stay here Theodore"
I called out to her one more Time "Aurora did you have a thing for Riley?"
Aurora got defensive, "What? No she's my friend, she was my friend and she's dead."
"If you ever need to talk to anyone-" Aurora slammed the door and quickly exited the morgue.
"I'm here if you want to talk" I whispered.
A/N: was going to write more but I got tired 😛
