The Woman In the Woods

Where Her Legs Remain

   Gabby's other friend, Tracy, Stacy's sister who doesn't know Stacy is actually dead, was told about Gabby moving into a fancy home by her sister, so she decides to visit Gabby at her new amazing home. She arrives at the front door to realize that the door has been opened. And it looks like it has been open for a while. Crippled-up leaves have rolled into the living room through the wide open door.                            She walks to the open door, stops, knocks on the side of the house and says, "Gabby, its me, Tracy. Where are you?" She finds Gabby's iPhone on the floor next to the open closet door. "Gabby. Hello? Where are you! Are you OK?!" She runs quickly and looks all over the house while screaming, "GABBY?! GABBY?! WHERE ARE YOU?" She returns to the living room, and checks Gabby's phone. Not to be nosy or rude, just to see if she can find clues and find out where she might have went. She reads the messages between Gabby and Stacy, and she is terrified to even be in the house anymore. She stares at the open closet door, then at the floor in front of it. Then, she sees dirty footprints leading to the back door, towards the pool. She walks out there to see the top portion of Gabby's body just floating there in the pool, with blood spread in all different directions of the water. She is terrified. She screams, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Then, she finds a trail of blood, leading toward the woods near her house. She follows it into the woods, she knew it might've been stupid, but she wanted to know what happened to one of her bestest friends. It seemed strange how the blood led so far into those woods, she thought it might never end. Then, she finds the bottom portion of Gabby's body just laying there in the grass, in a pool of blood that seemed fresh. She is about to scream, right before she hears the noise of someone walking through the woods, stepping on twigs and seemed like she was trying to hide, and not be spotted. She knows she is not alone. She sees someone standing not too far away from her, just staring at her from next to a tree. They walk towards each other. Tracy says, "Did you see this? Do you know how this happened? With all these murders occurring in this town, are you sure you should be here?" "Are you sure you should be here?" The stranger asks. "No, but I'm trying to find out what happened to Gabby," says Tracy. "I was out here and saw the lower portion of her body laying here, wondering who would be so stupid enough to come out here too, besides me. But I'm not stupid, I'm smart. I used to be friends with Gabby, but now, we're enemies," says the stranger. "What do you mean?" Asks Tracy. "What I'm trying to say is, Tracy, I know what happened to Gabby, and I wasn't stupid to come out here because of the murderer. I may have talked to Gabby after Stacy died, then we became enemies. because...
   I.
   Am.
   The murderer.
   I'm her enemy because I'm the one who killed her. And I'm also the one who killed...Stacy." Says the stranger. Before Tracy could even try to scream and run, the woman stabs her in the heart, and she drops dead in the grass, right next to where half of Gabby's body lies. "Oh and I forgot to mention, Tracy," says the stranger, "I'm also the one who killed you, and your mother."
