Dark Decent

Chapter 2

In that one moment i was frozen unable to speak, as if the words had be stolen from my mouth. "I know this is probably weird seeing me after all these years but i needed to get some closer. I came to ask if you would forgive me...Maybe not fully but still i want to be in your life Jessica." I was thrown out of my thoughts and i glared at him. "You had your chance when we were kids to ask forgiveness. Instead you kept drinking and allowed out own mother to abuse us. Its is going to take more than showing up to be forgiven."

I was ready to close the door in his face until i noticed Jane behind him. "You showed him where i live?!" I yelled at her as she lowered her head key trained to the ground as if the most interesting thing. "Its not her fault i found your address on her counter." My father said turning to Jane. "I know it will take some time, but Jane forgave me and some day i know you will too." He held a sad look in his eyes as he spoke but i wasn't having it.

"Leave...i've had a long day and don't want to deal with this, so...just leave." I said shutting the door and locking it. I laid my head against the door, my heart was pounding loudly in my ears and i could feel the anger rushing through my veins like blood. After a few more seconds i lifted my head and walked back to my room cutting the lights off and crawling into bed ready for this day to end.

The man ran through the ally, sweet beaded on his forehead as he tried to escape the psychopath behind him. "Some one help!" He cried out his voice strained from being choked. As he turned his head to see if the killer was gone he ran into something in front of him causing him to fall. Looking up he realized he had been caught. "No please, I'm begging you.." The man cried out tears falling down his face as the killer raised his knife. "Wait, N..." The killer brought the knife down on his chest causing him to go silent.

I woke to the sound of sirens outside and I cursed under my breath as I saw the time. The digital clock on my night stand read 10:00. "Crap!" I rushed to the bathroom and stopped once I saw a blood stain on my shirt. "What the hell?" I rubbed my thumb on it and realized it was dry blood. "What ever I don't have time for this..." I took the shirt of and threw it in my Landry basket before walking to my closet to get my uniform.

Once I had gotten dressed I rushed to my car and looked at my phone. I had about ten miss calls and thirty text from the chief. Looking through the text i put the addressing into my phone and headed towards the new crime scene. 

pulling up in front of an ally i noticed three police cars and an ambulance. "Sanders... Where have you been?!" The chief asked walking over to me as i got out of my car. "I was looking over the case and lost track of time." I lied. "So what happened here?" The chief sighed and pointed over to where a body laid under a white sheet. "Another murder."  I walked over to the body and lifted the sheet. Once i did i put my arm over my nose and gag slightly. 

The man under the sheet looked to be around 30 his eyes missing and cuts along his arms and legs. "Do you think its the same guy?" I asked pulling the sheet back over the body. The chief just huffed and stood back up with me. "I think so, i mean the way he was left indicates that its the same guy, but you never know. There could be more killers that would do this." I nodded my head as i was handed a file. "Take this back to the police station and go over this and the other cases. Lets get to the bottom of this." 

After i was handed the file i rushed back to station as fast as i could. Once was there i went straight to my desk and pulled out the other cases. I looked over the new case file for a brief moment before opening the other murder case file. The kills where the all the same, the victims were found with missing eyes, cuts along the arms and legs, and a fetal blow to the chest. I rubbed my forehead and leaned back in my chair. "Sanders, I got another call theres a robbery going on down town, i need you to head down there." I sighed and yelled a quick reply before rushing to my car and headed towards downtown. 

Once i had arrived at the tiny grocery market i noticed the glass door was shattered and so were the windows. I got out of my car and went inside where i found Cassie another officer that worked in my department.  "Jessica, its good to see you I just wish it was under better circumstances." I smiled slightly at her as i walked over to her and the shop owner. "So, what happened here?" I asked looking around at the store. "Well, Mrs. Williams here called in a robbery apparently while she was at lunch someone broke in." I nodded as i started walking around. "Did they take anything?" Cassie  nodded and answered, "Just a few small baskets of food, the moneys still in the register." I walked back over to Cassie. "Alright, well if i got the information i needed, do you got everything under control here?" Cassie nodded as i closed the notebook i had written in. "I guess ill see you later then." I said as i walked back to my car throwing the notebook into the passenger seat. 

As i started to drive away i noticed moment in the back seat and i looked in the mirror to see a woman with blood running down her face. I slammed on the breaks and when i looked back the woman was gone.
