Where It All Began

The Prologue

'Drip drip drip' the sound of water echoes throughout the empty hallways of an old, rusted building, abandoned by all except time. No one would have guessed that this old, rusted building was the home to the things that go bump in the night. The deeper you go to explore the building's core the sound of water dripping slowly dissipates, its drowned out by metallic like fingers being tapped against the cold hard surface of a metallic table almost as if the creature behind the source of the tapping is waiting for something or someone....
"Ugghhh, what...... happened? Where am I?" A girl awakes confused and lost, completely unaware of the fate that awaits her. She looks around to familiarise herself with her surroundings but to no avail
"What is this place?" she goes to stand and walk around the room that she is contained in but as she goes to put her left foot forward she finds that around her ankle is a thick chain locked in place to the floors surface.
"What! What is this? Why am I chained up?" she panics, rattling the chain to pull it loose from the floor.

"Now now my dear, doing that is fruitless. A waste of energy if you will" A mysterious voice chimes in, but the source of the voice is unknown. The rattling of the chain ceases there's no doubt that this person man or woman is indeed correct
"Who are you? Where am I? Please tell me" the girl screams, frightened out of her mind all she wants to do is go home, away from this place
"There is no need for you to know my name, as for where you are that shall soon be revealed to you shortly" The voice speaks again "Ahhh but now I'm out of time, sorry to cut this short but I do have to keep to my schedule." The voice stops leaving the girl in complete silence.
What does it mean by 'schedule'? What schedule? These thoughts echo throughout the girls mind, wasting no time the girl pulls the chain as hard as she can, she's not keen on finding out what the voice meant by schedule.

Try as she might the chain will not give way, but it is too late her fate was sealed the moment she woke up in that horrid room. Suddenly the door to her room is opened, frozen with fear the girl stops pulling at the chain.
"My dear I told you it was fruitless yet you still try." The voice from before chuckles "I've captured a spirited one now haven't I"
The door shuts, leaving both the owner of the voice and the girl in the same room with no chance of escape.
"No please! Why are you doing this?" the girl cries out in fear, she knows this is the end of her time on this earth, the figure doesn't answer instead walks towards the girl. Her screams echo the hallways for the building along with the ripping of flesh and the splashing sound of blood hitting the floors and walls of her containment, the screams stop but the sounds of her flesh ripping continued followed by a maniacal laugh.
"This room shall be your tomb"

Fate is a curious thing sometimes it can be good, other times it can lead to the end. For this young girl her fate lead her to her death. But what was the fate of the creature who removed her from existence? That can only be revealed in a story about a young detective taking on a case that changed her life forever......
