Murderers~

Part 21

Kota

I open my eyes to a loud scream. I silently sit up and blink, making my vision clear. "Hello?" I yell, and another scream echoes through what appears to be a cemetery. I get up, and brush the leaves off of me. I start walking to the source of the noise, the sky is just now beginning to get light. I hear a noise, like something cracking under my feet. I step back to see a piece of paper. I bend down and pick it up. It reads:

It's been a while, hasn't it? You probably don't know who I am, but I know you. I've been having dreams about you, Dakota. Visions, and dreams, to be more precise. I know what you're thinking. 'Who is this guy and how does he know my name?' Yeah well I'm asking the same question. My name is Dustin. I've been "seeing" you since I was 5, and now I'm 18. Follow the scream in the graveyard, and that'll lead you to me.

I look up, my eyebrows furrow in confusion. I hear another scream, i fold the note and quickly put it in my pocket, and start running. I finally make it to this path way, with two huge stone walls leading down it. I notice a small sign above it, and I try to read it. 'Danger, Catacombs. Enter if ye dare.' Ye? Isn't that like... From 50 years ago? I crawl over the small chain blocking the entrance, and start walking down it. It starts to get darker, so I turn on my phones flashlight. A scream echoes throughout the catacombs. It sends shivers down my spine. As I get closer to the bottom, torches on the wall flicker above me. I suddenly bump into a large wooden door, I stumble backwards and stare at it. "What the hell..." I whisper as I hear muffled crying behind the door. I hesitantly walk to the door, and slowly open it. It makes a soft creaking noise, and i bite my lip. I open it all the way to reveal a large round room, dimly lit by torches on the walls. In the middle, is a girl laying on a rectangular stone bed, tied up. I start to walk over to her as the door shuts behind me. "Like it?" Someone says behind me. I whirl around to see a figure a little bit taller than me, and has a very good build. He grins at me, and a notice blood all over him. "Dustin?" I whisper, as I shoot him a confused/worried look. He nods and pushes past me, observing the girl. I turn around and watch him. "I finally get to meet the girl who I've been seeing for some time now." He says as he slowly grabs a knife, and the girl starts to cry. He slits her throat and i jump. I look around, noticing the many different passage ways. That's right, it IS a catacomb... I look at him, and he wipes his hands on his jeans. "How did you know I was gunna be here? I mean, I didn't even know I was gunna be here." Dustin sighs as he leans against the stone bed. "I had a dream, that you and your 'group' would be split up. And I saw you were here.-" "do you know where the others are!?" I yell, my heart racing. He bites his lip. "Yes, but it'll be hard to find them. But anyway, I kidnapped this girl so it would lead you here." He continues. "And yes, I will help you." I nod, letting out a sigh. "It won't be easy, so don't feel relived. Your friends, are in danger. And so are you. He, is not very happy with what you've been doing." "He?" I question. He nods. "You don't know? Hm. Well, you'll find out sooner or later." He smiles at me, as the torches all blow out.
