Once upon a Muder

Introduction. Once upon a murder

Darkness...

That is all that could have been seen. Until light creped through multiple cracks in the decaying walls. Rats scuttled across the creaking floor and the smell was horrible. The place seemed like no one would live there. But jewellery was thrown around, layered across the room.

A peaceful looking face that had no fault. Irish hair that fell over bright emerald eyes that led down to a small nose. her wine red lips were slightly opened, showing small pieces of her pure white teeth. Piece of what used to be a long flowing ruby coloured dress was scatted around her. A slender body was placed upon a old bed that was seemed to have been cut up many times before.

Held in one of her frail hands was a note.

Such a beautiful death... For such a beautiful girl...

A voice began to speak... Such a young calm voice. It sounded like a flute playing in a summer breeze.

"You shouldn't have ran away from me lady red... You know that you can not run away from death. I mean it's the end of your beautiful story... A country girl, who sells her love to another man over and over again. I'm surprised no one has tried to kill you before..."

You owner of the voice was no where to be seen. The voice just echoed through out the ancient room that now belonged to the dead.

"Now that my job here is done. It's time for me to leave... I hope my little officer finds you. Other wise the game wouldn't be fun..."

A gust of wind blow through the room and the sound of shattered glass repeated through out the rest of the abandoned building. The front door slammed open as another dark figure walked into the room, but instead of a horrified scream at the look a the bloody boy, all they did was laugh and ripped off the remaining jewels that were rapped around her thin neck.

A man's voice boomed through the room and cold dark eyes stared at the lifeless body.

"I may have not have been the one to kill you. But at least i won't get framed for your poor death. My lovely lady in red."

Vanishing back into the darkness and not saying another word. Only laughing to him self, And then dashing off when the scream of a woman was heard.
