Heart On The Run

Discovery

Sadie's POV
Unbelievable. I thought to myself. My aunt is a cover up, and she wants to help me. So I did hear her say it, I heard her say Sob. How long has she known, and what murders does she know about?
     "My dear, you're very sloppy with your, how do I say? 'Business', you just leave the bodies." She states.
     "That's because I want them to be found, I want to be known." I explain.
     "Not smart, the more you want to be known the higher the chances of getting caught. You need to think about strategy."
     "Strategy!?! I'm killing because I can't stop! I can't control my urges!" I yell.
     "You're probably wondering how much I know, right?" She asks, unnerved by my tantrum.
     "Well, yes, I-" she cuts me off.
     "I know about everything, about how concerned your mother was because you were killing animals. How you keep getting larger with each animal you killed, and how your first kill was an accident. You didn't mean to kill that little boy, but it felt good. You wanted more, and so you continued. You perfected your ritual, which is carving 'Sob' into the flesh of each of your victims. Cause of death is rarely the same, you like it that way."
     "I know about how you dated a boy named Joshua, and how he's just like you. I know-"
     "Joshua is like me!?!" I retort.
     "Yes, my dear. Didn't you know that he was The Phantom?" She looks at me.
     "I had no idea, do you know where his kill room is?" I ask suddenly.
     "Of course I do, I study serial killers after all. He performs his ritual in the Oxford family cellar." She informs me.
     "I wonder if he's doing it now?" I run out the door and go to the Oxford ranch. I walk quietly into the house, and make my way to the cellar doors.
     I hear a strange noise, and silently open the cellar doors. I walk down the stairs and head toward the noise. I see a figure.
     "Joshua?" I call. The figure whips around and looks straight at me.
     "Sadie!?! What are you doing here!?!" He hisses. I walk up to him.
     "I know about you, I'm one too." I say. He sets down a sharp blade.
     "You're a monster? You kill people?"
     "Yes." I answer coolly.
     "I have to finish here, is there somewhere we can talk about this, later?" He asks.
     "Yes, when you finish you can meet me at my aunts house. She lives just outside of town in the north side. You can't miss it, is a white mansion." I smile at him.
     "I'll meet you there." He goes back to a ghostly white body to continue his ritual.
     I turn around and walk to the cellar doors, and I smile to myself. The one guy I've ever loved, is just like me.... I leave the Oxford ranch in no hurry at all, awaiting the moment that I can see him again.
