Chapter 1: The news

10:15 PM

People are starting to freak out and are beginning to become more cautious of their surroundings.

You're currently sitting on the couch with your parents, watching the news. For the past two weeks, there have been increased murders, well, attempted murders. A lot of people have been left with a scar and a missing kidney, and some of those people didn't make it.

The thought of being one of those people terrified you. You lived in a normal neighbourhood, not too big yet not too small. The probability of death happening to you wasn't too slim.

You weren't allowed to go to sleepovers or walks anymore, you weren't even allowed to hang out with friends! But you can't blame your parents, they're just trying to protect you.

"Another victim? Already?!", your mother was trying to calm herself down as your father sat still, "As long as we keep everything locked, we're going to be fine", your father reassured. "I don't get it, why don't people just lock their doors and windows?" you asked, fidgeting with the strands of your sweatpants. "it's not that easy, (y/n). Anybody could pick a lock" your dad answered.
"Let's just go to bed and hope there aren't going to be any more victims tomorrow" your mom said as she got up and went to kiss you goodnight. "I'll stay a bit longer, I promise I'll go to sleep soon" you answered as both your parents nodded.

You weren't going to sleep anytime soon. You were too consumed with talking to your friends about the various murders around your neighbourhood. Your groupchat was more than alive, and everybody kept spamming the same questions. 'Who do you think is behind all this?', 'why are the victim's kidneys gone?', 'who do you think'll be next?'

But amongst all that, some of your friends see it as a joke. They keep making fun of the murders and making jokes out of the killer's way of murdering.
'I hope this'll end soon and that the killer will finally get caught' you thought to yourself. Suddenly, you hear a loud 'thud'. You froze immediately. It sounded like it came from the outside, your front lawn maybe?

You didn't want to check it out, you kept thinking, 'WHAT IF IT'S THAT MURDERER OH MY GODD', but you weren't taking any chances. If it WAS the murderer, you could contact the police and he could finally get arrested. There was a total of 11 murders and you wouldn't let another person die.
