Levi jumped up from his bed feeling his heart beat rapidly against his chest and cold sweat dripped from his skin. He had the same nightmare again… The same one he had been having for months since he last went to his mothers' grave.
Walter smiling his wicked smile as he stood in a river of blood, as he stood in the blood of his victims and of his mother whom was nothing more then a bloody corpse among the others. He saw an unknown figure that stood next to Walter a seemingly lifeless figure that seemed to cling onto another creature.
Levi closed his eyes wiping the sweat from his face taking a deep breath. It was only a dream… He had killed his father 14 years ago…. He trapped him into his own world of torture.
Levi got out of bed and walked to the bathroom. And there he saw an all too familiar scene. Blood… Blood smeared onto the floor blood smeared on the walls. HE turned to the shower to see writing in blood.
See what's behind curtain number one it read.
Levi's shaking hand reached to the curtain slowly pulling it back. And what he saw stopped his heart. Eileen… Eileen's cold bloody body laid in the tub her eyes torn from thee sockets. Her face ripped to shreds by a knife. And there was only one clear mark that was on her body. 20121
Levi fell to his knees trying to catch his breath the only thing that came out was a shallow scream.
"HENRY!" He finally managed to yell. "Henry!!"
Henry came running into the bathroom to see the bloody scene. He went to Levi pulling him out of the bathroom. He held the shaken boy in his arms as he called the police.
"Henry he's dead…" Levi kept repeating over and over. "He's dead…"
"Shh I know I know…" Henry said trying to comfort Levi.
Soon came an all too familiar seen for Levi. He sat in a small room with a cop questioning him.
"SO Levi Sullivan… "
"Townshed." Levi corrected.
"Right. So tell me what happen?"
"I don't know I just woke up and went to the bathroom… That's when I saw it."
"Okay… How long have you known Eileen?" the officer asked as he thumbed through some files.
"Since I was four. She and Henry took me in when my mother died."
"Yes it says here your mother was murdered in 2004… Stabbed to death I'm sorry to hear that. Says here they never found her killer"
Levi looked up at the cop. "What's that supposed to mean?"
"Well either someone really hates you or you're a cold blooded killer…"
"What?!" Levi began to get upset. "My mother was killed when I was four!"
"I just find it a little weird that on both murders you were present but didn't witness anything but found the body first… Then that both of them died from multiple stab wounds…"
"Look!" Levi yelled slamming his fists down. His eyes glazed over with tears then he slowly collected himself. "Look detective Douglas… I loved my mother more then anything…. And Eileen… Eileen meant the world to me…I…" Levi wiped his tears.
Just then another officer walked into the room. "Sir the boys' caretaker is out of interrogation… He's ready to get Him."
"Damn… Well you're free to go son… I'll be calling you."
Levi stood up and walked out of the room to Henry. Henry looked down at the boy and saw his red tear infested eyes.
"C'mon I got us a hotel…" Henry said taking the boy.
As they walked out of the station Levi's mind kept repeating over and over that he had killed his father. He did…
Douglas lit a cigarette and slowly inhaled it as he looked at Levi's files. He looked at the photos of Eileen's bloody corpse but one thing other then the markings seemed to show through all the blood. A small rag doll that lay at her feet. Then in the blood he saw what appeared to be a face. He rubbed his eyes and looked closer at the picture.
"Can't be…" He whispered. "But…" he dropped the picture and his cigarette. "Claudia?"
