CHAPTER TWO
Darcy's body was discovered by Emma Nelson, the last person Darcy had talked to before her brutal stabbing. Everyone was dealing with her death their way...Emma had decided to keep all her feelings inside, while her friend Manny wanted to hold a memorial. Darcy's boyfriend Spinner was deciding to just wait it out, while Paige, his ex, decided to try and move in on him again. Spinner's friend Jimmy tried to help Darcy's bestfriend Ashley deal with the loss. Emma just sat and awaited the arrival of her boyfriend Sean.
"I'm so sorry Emma." Sean spoke as he made his way through the door. "It's okay Sean." Emma said as she hugged him. Spinner stood up and Sean stared at him, they didn't say anything but Spinner nodded as if he knew what Sean was thinking.
"Why would someone want her dead?" Sean asked. "Who knows!" Paige finally spoke up. Jimmy glanced at Ashley who had her eyes glued to the window. "Well we need to find out" Emma said. "Find out...Em. we don't know if this was a serial killer that did this or what!" Manny said. Just then Darcy's parents, and her sister Clare walked in.
Ashley ran up and hugged Clare, they both were feeling the same pain. Emma quickly sat back down. Clare's father spoke. "The Autopsy came back...and there was some startling news" the man began. At that, Ashley let go of Clare and the two turned and looked at the man, "The report stated that due to the peace of mind Darcy was in during her murder, it is said that the person that killed her is someone she knew" the man finished.
Emma and Sean quickly looked at each other. "Wait someone she knew?" Jimmy said. "Yes" Clare's mother spoke. "Oh my God...if Darcy knew this person then what doesn't make you all think we don't know this person?" Emma asked. "Well there's no way we can tell, just try to get some rest children, you all should go home." Clare's mother finished as she walked to the hall with Clare by her side.
Everyone had subsided from the group and went their separate ways. Ashley decided that she was going to drive home alone. Ashley remembered the good times that her and Darcy had shared, they had always went over each others houses and talked about boys, but now all of that had gone. Ashley didn't know who would want Darcy dead, the thought never crossed her mind.
"How? Why? Who?" Ashley whispered to herself as she was driving. Ashley couldn't believe that her friend was dead, and the fact was that she was murdered. Ashley kept replaying the words that Mr and Mrs Edwards spoke to the group of graduates. Just then Ashley heard something in the trunk of her car, she quickly pulled to a stop.
Ashley got out and rounded the car, she opened the trunk and saw nothing, just then a figure came up behind her, Ashley screamed, and the figure only slit her throat and let her drop to the cold hard ground.
