~Cassie's P.O.V.~
Blood, it was everywhere . I throw the sweater down and run as fast as I can. Sweat drips from my head. All I can do is run, there's no other choice. Alexis' killer ran, and fast. He wore a dark black hoodie, and a ski mask. He had black pajama pants on, with grey sneakers. They'll get my fingerprints on the gun. I picked it up after he shot Alexis. "I'm doomed" I whisper to myself a few times.
I turn my head back towards the alley, looking for the police. I hear noises, and see red and blue lights. Will they come this way? Did I leave footprints? I shake my head and stop for a rest. The sirens wail and doors slam in the background. I hear someone crying, loudly. That must be Alexis' mother and her family. I take a deep breath and climb up a tree and look towards the crime sence.
I had drifted off to sleep, when I woke it was dark. I look towards the sence to see nothing but darkness. The only light I had was the moon glimmering in the night sky. I crawl down from the tree, listening for any noises. An owl hoots in the distance, I walk towards it. I walk slowly, trying not to disturb any animals. The owl's noise led me to a shed. It looks old and ready to fall apart. I shrug my shoulders and walk inside.
Morning comes, light shines through the crakes in the walls. I yawn and get up to leave. I look through the door crakes, watching for the police. Nothing. I open the door and run to the sence. I stare over the chalk drawing of Alexis. My throat tightens up at the form and blood. I take a deep breath and run over to the nearest gas station. I pay fifty cents for a newspaper and read it slowly.
ONE DEAD, ONE MISSING. Alexis Marbury found dead yesterday in a parking lot near 4-0-1CountryTruck Stop. She had two bullet wounds to the head. A friend of the teenager has also gone missing that night.Callie Stelle gone missing right before police had shown up. Theory is the shooter had kidnapped the teen.
Butterflies churn in my stomach. The police will find my prints and add me as a suspect. What would I do, turn myself in? I couldn't even try to. I need to find the shooter. The shooter who shot my best friend. The shooter who ran before I could see him. The shooter who followed us on our daily walk. The shooter who I must turn in to prove I'm innocent.
