Along Came a Murderer

One by One

I made sure I woke up early, so that I could calm down, or else they'd get suspicious of me.

Go up to their room, shoot them!

"I used the last of the bullets in that kid."

Than use the kitchen knife, stupid!

I made my way to the kitchen, and grabbed probably the biggest knife I had ever seen. I quietly made my way up to their room. I accidentally ran into Taylor. "Oh, hey Alice."

"Hey, can I... Talk to you?" She put her jacket on and smiled. "Sure, what is it?" I leaned to look over her shoulder, to make sure Winston was asleep. My hand reached for her neck and she thumped against the wall.

Don't kill her in the house. Kill her outside.

I dragged her by the neck and took her outside, far away from the cabin. I took the knife from out of the jacket and her eyes widened. Before I killed her, she gave me a look that said, You are a monster.

A smile grew on my face. "I know." The knife went through her stomach and out her back. I dropped her and watched her struggle.

Hurry up and hide her body already!

"I'll put you right next to your son." I dug a hole next to where her son was and hid her body. I put the shovel down and walked away whistling to myself. The knife was cleaned off and put back in the pocket of my trench coat. I walked back into the house and saw that Winston was already awake. Crap.

"Do you know where Taylor and Daniel are? Were they with you?" I walked over to change the bandage on my hand. "No, I don't know where they went. I just went outside to get some fresh air. Maybe they just-"

"Don't lie to me, Cooper. Where are they?" He looked about ready to hurt me. "I said, I don't know." He reached out and grabbed my burnt hand tightly. "Ah! Don't touch my hand! It still hurts!"

"Where are they?!" I shoved him away. "I told you, I don't know." I finished wrapping my hand up, and Winston walked into the room where Daniel was sleeping in.

Kill him while he's not looking.

I quietly walked toward him. I threw my arm around his neck and dragged him outside, to bring him to the spot where his family died. I threw him to the ground and he stumbled to try and get up. "Alice, please. Don't kill me."

I reached for the knife and walked toward him. He crawled away, and I slashed his back open. He screamed. "SOMEBODY HELP ME!" I stabbed him right through the back. Blood started to spread everywhere. I started hearing sirens in the distance. "Oh, for crying out loud."

I pulled the knife out of his back and ran as fast as I could. "Where should I hide?!"

Hide in that near-by ditch.

I rolled into the ditch, and covered myself up with leaves, branches, and loose dirt. I could hear voices in the distance. They probably dug up the bodies and found Winston.

Wait a minute.

"What?"

You didn't check if Winston was dead.

My entire body froze. He could've survived that. Then again, he probably didn't. But all I did was cut his back open, and stab him.

You left him alive, genius. What if they find you?

"They won't find me."

They will if you don't start running.

I peeked my head up to make sure the coast was clear. I don't think I've ever run this fast in my life. I stopped running until I couldn't hear the distant voices anymore.

My hand was stinging. I didn't have anything to switch the bandage with. I would go back to the house, but they'd probably catch me, so I just kept going.
