So, Ella, I hope it was all worth it." The masked man says happily, like he was excited.

The young girl was pleading with her eyes. The duct tape on her mouth prevented her from screaming.

And  oh how she was about to scream. Very much. Very loudly.

The masked man yanks her by the hair and forces her head to a painful angle, her eyes widen at the sight of a long and sharp knife held tightly on the man's other hand.

Tears start falling from her face and she starts to whimper as she closes her eyes. Probably wishing he'd go away.

But he never will.

Unless Andy leaves this place, he will always be there.

He lets go of Ella's hair and watches her slump back onto the chair she was panicking on.

He rips the duct tape off her mouth and hears her scream. It was like music to his ears. the more blood-curdling, the better.

The man closes his eyes. Ella bites her lip. He was getting off of her pain. He opens his eyes to see her glaring at him

"That won't do." The man tsks.

He rips the mask off of his face and watch her eyes widen in shock and then in fear.

"You!"

"Surprise, surprise." He says as he lodges the knife down her throat, watching her try to swallow the thick blade only to gag around it.

She wasn't about to die just yet. Knife-eating was always something he found interesting.

Done wrong, well you can imagine.

There was a science to this. He was merely practicing.

He tilts Ella's head to the side, showing her what he did to her friends.

Bobby and Anthony were hanging with both hands tied by a rope, Their chests were carved out to show just how the knives look like inside them as they are still lodged down their mouths.

"You'll be the prettiest of them all. Of course, they weren't much to begin with." He laughs.

He pulls the knife out of her mouth to allow her to give him one more scream before he lodges it back in one last time.

"Andy owes you a boyfriend."

The police were contacted five days later when someone noticed the putrid stench of decaying bodies. Whoever discovered them first were lucky and unlucky.

Lucky to have seen such genius art, and unlucky to realize that they were three bodies of murdered teenagers.

His only regret was that Andy wasn't there to see it. To have witnessed an act for his love. Andy would freak out and all of this would be ruined.

So maybe it was okay.

It all hit the news and the media was theorizing that the murder at some diner a few days ago was linked to this one.

"Tucker, can you please turn the volume down. My ears hurt as it is without news reporters blabbing about the latest story."

"Sources say that the murder at Lily's Diner & Motel a week ago are linked to the Branberry case..."

That got my attention.
