The info broker looked around the blood spattered walls and the chalk out lines on the floor. There used to be a happy family living in this house, a mother, father, son, and daughter. It had taken thirty-four hours before they were missed. Even Izaya pitied the poor soul that stumbled across this scene. It was gruesome even without the mangled bodies and he had seen photos of those.
He didn't really care about these people even if they were once his beloved humans. Once again someone was paying him to find out who was behind a murder. This one was a bit odd, from a glance a person would think this family had been killed by a burglar, but it was slightly different. The person who killed them mangled their bodies after death.
If the police report had been correct, they had been bound and gagged before hung by their feet. From this point the murderer place a bucket beneath each person before slitting their throats and draining their blood. After the body was drained this person took the buckets of blood away and then cut the dead people down. The killer gutted them and strewn their innards around the room. It made it look as if there was still a lot of blood, but the person who examined the bodies noticed.
It seemed like a lot of work just for blood, but this person could've just done that as a way to distract police. This person could be someone the victims knew, but Izaya doubted that. He began looking around for anything the police may have missed, but found nothing. Having found nothing he decided to take his leave. He went back out the window and then walked pass the front just to see the yellow police tape around the house.
He noticed the flag was up on their mail box and looked in. He knew that it was unlikely they would be receiving any mail so, he took it out. The envelope in his hand was such a dark red color it seemed almost black. A white wax seal with what he first thought was the letter X, but on second glance it was two swords crossed. It was obvious that it wasn't something common in Japanese culture, but English.
He pealed back the seal and found decorative cursive writing in white ink. The person how had written it had beautiful hand writing and Izaya took a moment just to marvel at it, but when he started to read the words he realized this was a valuable piece of evidence.
Dearest reader,
Many will die each night and there is only one way to stop it. You must kill those who live in the shadows and take your children at night. They have gone by many names, most know them as demons, and unfortunately one has been summoned. If you heed my warning I'll help you. If not, it will only get worse from here.
Sincerely,
Rain (雨)
Izaya stared at the letter and then laughed at first like a normal person and then slowly it turned into a manic sound. To Izaya Rain sounded like another human that knew too much. It only proved to Rain how human he was.
Ladybug's Ramble: I was feeling rather dark and started writing this. I hope my regulars like it and any new people. There will be some character death and there might be more than one OC. The summary may change since I'm not really sure where this story is headed, but zombies will be here. I'm not sure who I'm paring Rain with or anything. It'll probably be Izaya since... I always pare him with someone. Oh and I wanted to let everyone know I have a pole on my profile that I'd really like you to vote on! Anyway, review, favorite, alert please! Ladybug out~!
