Luna’s POV-
“What was the girl’s name?” Derek asked, looking at the names on the metal cabinets made for holding dead people. “Jennifer Alice.” I responded then pulled out the slide, and there she was, with her file laying with her.
“She sure doesn’t look like any seventeen year old girl, I know.” Derek commented. I nodded. Her lifeless face was wrinkled and appeared to be dark spotted. Her hair which I assumed was a dark brown, faded to a dull grey color. She looked about ninety years old. I actually had to glance at the name on the file that this was her.
“She was pretty. Wh- What happened to her?” Derek muttered, when I showed him, her file which contained her most previous picture.
“I don’t know, but we are going to find out.” I looked at her file, and found her address. Right before we left, I asked him, “Is it me or does she smell like rotten eggs, and not just death?” He nodded, “I wasn’t going to mention it, but yes!” Then we were off to find out more about this girl.

“Okay, what exactly are you looking for?” Izzy asks, leaning forward on her elbows. Isaac and her had just gotten to the library.
“That’s kind of why I need your help. I need a name and how to kill it.” He responded, point blankly. She looked a bit on the surprised side.
“Uhm, Okay,” She gave him a weird look, then continued, “ What do you know about this thing?”
“Ahhh, Well, It’s female.” She nodded for him to continue, “And she kills people.”
“Okay, So that could be almost anything. How does she kill people?” Izzy sarcastically asked. Isaac thought how to explain.
“With her hands,” Izzy rolled her eyes, “ She like juices them. Oh and seduction.” Isaac told her. She thought about this for a second.
“Wait, are you talking about the guy who was killed a few days ago? The paper said, he appeared to be juiced.”
Isaac’s eyes got wide, “N-No, but I did hear that in the paper.”
“Oh, it just,” She trailed off, “Wait, then why do you want to know about this?” Isaac shrugged.
She sighed, “Nobody ever tells me why they want to know about some random creature.”
“You have actually done this before?” Isaac asked.
“Only once for my cousin, a couple months ago.” She laughed at the memory. Then changed the subject, “I might actually know what this thing you are talking about it. I need my laptop though. “
“Why do you need your laptop?”
“All my nerdy myths are on it.” She grabbed her backpack and told him she would meet him back here in about fifteen minutes.
“I’ll go with you.” He started to get up. “Why?” She asked, too quickly. Her eyes got wide.
“Just come on. I really need to figure this out and the faster the better.” He gave her a smile, and then they were off.

Luna’s POV
“Excuse me, Dr. Adams? Hi, I am Dr. Anna Carter. I specialize in teen cases.” I lied through my teeth. I held up one of the fake I.DS, indicating I was a doctor.
“Dr. Carter, I am assuming you are here for the cheek up on poor Jennifer Alice.” He indicated me to follow him back to the morgue. Great. Back to the smelly rotten egg place. I could literally feel Derek laughing at me from his car.
“Such a shame, Can you tell me what you think had happen to her?” I asked, seriously.
“She was only in here for about forty eight hours, Everyone thought it was the stomach flu. She had all the symptoms, ” He stopped and thought, “She couldn’t keep any food down. She couldn’t even keep water down. Soon, her memory faded. Little stuff at first, then she couldn’t even remember her own name.” I was confused.
“But, that doesn’t have anything to do with the throwing up. Alzheimer’s doesn’t have the common flu symptoms, and also, doesn’t usually involve healthy seventeen year old girls. Would you mind if I talked to her parents?” I really need to find out if that thing that I saw in the alley did this. I figured if she saw something, she would have mentioned it to her parents or friends or something.
“ I do believe her father is still here, with the health insurance.” He led me to a room, where a man, in his forties was talking to an obvious insurance man.
“Mr. Alice, Dr. Carter here, has a few questions.” The Doctor waved off the other man for awhile, then left the two of us alone.
“Sir, I am so deeply sorry for your lost. I just have a few short questions concerning your daughter’s death.” He groaned deeply. His sleep deprived eyes had huge bags under them. I felt horrible for him and his family.
“Mr. Alice, Where was Jennifer right before she was admitted into the hospital?” I asked, as sympathetically as I could.
“She wasn’t with me or her mother. She was with her boyfriend. She should have been with us. We are her family. She should have been with her family.” He clearly was getting more upset by the moment.
“I am so sorry. Can you please tell me his name though?”
“Jacob Smithson. It was only their second date.” He muttered, then rubbed his eyes with his hand. I felt horrid once again. He then rambled, before leaving the room, “Please excuse me.”
I went to go find Dr. Adams again. Jacob Smithson. I have a name. Now I need a face to match.
“May I take a peak at her blood work?” I was getting quite good at being a doctor. Maybe I should go back to college to be one.
The doctor nodded, and led me to a slightly different part of the morgue: The Forensics.
“Her blood work did appear a tad off. It had a strange substance in it.” Dr. Adams mentioned, as I looked through the microscope. I nodded, and zoomed in slightly.
“Is that-” He cut me off, “Yes. That is Sulfur in her blood work.”
This wasn’t good.
