Murderer

The meeting

Shadow pov.

I stood over the man watching him gurgling on him own blood. I watched how the blood oozed from his neck furiously onto the floor and my boots. He held tightly to his bloody neck begging for life, but it's too late. He shook for a few seconds before taking his last breath. I smiled at him as his eyes closed slowly. I heard a door closing down stairs.

"Honey I'm home. Did you eat yet? I brought food."A woman yell from downstairs. I walked out of the master bedroom, locking it behind me and walked to the edge of the stairs. watching the woman in the kitchen preparing food. "Honey? Are you up there?" She left the boiling water onto the stove and stood at the bottom of the stairs.

She placed her hand on the handle of the rail looking up the stairs. "Honey?" She started to look worried. I took on the voice of the man and replied to her. "I'm up here hun. I was in the shower." Relief went across her face as she smiled. "You made me worry." She said placing a hand over her heart. "I'll be down in a second." I yelled. She turned back into the kitchen and started back cooking. 

I began to feel uneasy at that moment. I turned around to look at the window at the end of the hallway. No one. I felt as if someone was watching me. I brushed it off and went into the daughter's room. She was sitting on her bed playing with her dolls. She smiled at me and ran towards me hugging my leg. "He gone now?" She said with tears in her eyes. "He's gone." I replied to her. 

I make friends with little children sometimes. He father abused her and touched her inappropriately. She ran away in the woods where i met her. "Do you want to meet my other friend?" She asked all excited. I nodded my head. She pulled out a black and white stripped box with a churn. "His name is Laughing Jack." She smiled. She turned the churn and then a puppet popped out making her jump laughing. It had black hair, white skin, black and white stripped cone nose, and white eyes. She had a frown across her face. "What's wrong?" I asked taking the box. "He wont come out the box." She said looking at the box in my hand.

I placed the box back onto her shelf just as her mother yell. "The food is ready." She ran down stairs leaving me alone. I felt odd about that Jack in the box. I decided to open the box without turning the churn. I looked inside to see the Jack, but it was gone. "That's odd." I heard yelling from the hallway. "Honey open the door."

I ran towards the window opening it and jumped out. I took off running into the woods towards another home couple blocks away. 

The house lights was off meaning they're already asleep. I went to the back of the house and broke into the door silently. I walked through the dark kitchen into the living room. I looked up the stairs and slowly walked up the stairs quietly without making the slightest sound. I peaked into the first room to my right which was the bathroom. I went to the right seeing 3 other rooms. I opened the first room which was the master bedroom. 

Hearing the snoring of the man. I crept to the woman and held her mouth so she wouldn't scream. I stabbed her in the head killing her instantly. I cut open her chest revealing her heart. I pulled it out spraying blood every where. I took bites out of her heart and put it into a container in my backpack. I did the same to the man and left the room a bloody mess. I went to another room peeking into the room quietly. There was a boy in the bed with the girl. I decide to knock over a vase in the hallway making them jump.

"What the hell was that?" The girl yelled. They both stood up and looked at the door. "Go see what that was Mitch." She said pushing him slightly. "Why do I have too?" He said looking fearful. "MITCH!" She yelled. "OK fine." He said walking to the door. I ran quietly to the bathroom hiding in the tub behind the curtains. I heard the steps walking closer to the door. "It's nothing Lisa. Im finna piss." He yelled walking into he bathroom turning on the light and closing the door. He turned to look in to the mirror and started fixing his hair. I made the lights go off. "What the fuck." I quietly stepped out the tub and stood behind him. I rubbed his back gently. "Lisa? How did you get in here." He said relaxing into my touch.

"I didn't." I replied and felt him go stiff. Before he could react i slit his throat. 

I was felling tired so i was finna hurry and kill the girl. I ran down the hall into the room and found her disfigured on the floor in a pool of blood. I looked at the bed and saw the Jack in the box. Jack was already popped out of the box smiling. "Dang..You already took my kill." I said with a smirk. The Jack only laughed as an reply. "See you next time then." With that I went out the window an ran to the edge of the forest. I turned to look at the window to see a giant black and white clown smiling and waving. With that I left.
