(Right, thanks fo all the characters folks! This is an introductory chapter of sorts, basically to introduce my writing style and also the killer and the way he works. Also, at the end I'll do the list of the characters who got in (I made a few, minor changes) Thanks and read on!
The cold, winter night air struck Lee Bright hard. He pulled his burgundy coat closer over his frame and wiped his glasses, although it was useless. Not only was it cold, but large droplets of rain smashed down to the ground, like tiny cannon balls. People rushed on the streets, fruitlessly trying to protect themselves from the weather with umbrellas which soon turned upside down. The wind whistled in a bad tune, and was trying to rip trees from the ground, which creaked ominously, thrashing to and fro. Leaves were pulled from the branches and whipped Lee in the face.
However, the 34 year-old battled on in harsh storm between the tall and potentially dangerous buildings. The lights were on in windows, shadows of people looking out in the animalistic urge to see something destroyed. As Lee passed a TV shop, he heard the faint sound of a news reader over the howling wind and stopped a moment to listen.
"...Once again, officials urge civilians to stay away from materials than can shatter, inside and outside the home. Do not travel unless it is absolutely vital, and by all means, do not go to the top of buildings. Despite the fact that Hurricane Gordon is a category 2 hurricane, substantial damage can affect mobile homes, piers, and unmoored boats. Initial fears that Hurricane Gordon may turn into a Category 3 hurricane have been proven wrong, and reports suggest than it will pass through the New York area in 14 to 16 hours. Stay away from any loose..."
Lee shook his head and moved quickly, before turning down an alleyway. Wet and soggy newspapers swarmed through the air and hit Lee in the chest and legs. Finally, Lee got to the door he was aiming for and pushed it open.
Line Break
Unbeknownst to Lee, a figure sat in a black van on the other end of the valley, watching. The man wore a brown robe, like a monk, complete with a hood drawn over his thin face. The man smiled as the door shut, the wrinkles stretching around the side of his mouth.
"You have sinned for far too long, Mr. Bright." The man muttered, his voice trembling. Not with fear, but with anticipation. He opened the car door, and stepped out, the rain immediately soaking him. The man didn't care and stepped through the puddles in the alleyway. He'd clean the robe later. For now, the man slid a white mask on his face, the cheap flimsy ones, available at any party store. The police wouldn't be able to track him from it.

Lee wiped his glasses again and stood still, looking around the shop. It was an adult store, selling DVD's and magazines of all kinds of pornographic material. There was media for any sexual orientation. Lee's eyes lingered on a particular magazine which showed a brunette woman licking her lips at a nude black man. It was entitled: LACY ADAMS 'DARKEST' DESIRES.
Lee shook his head, laughing slightly at the lewd title. He walked up to a counter, where a thin man with a pock marked face was waiting for him. "Evan." Lee nodded.
"Didn't think you'd make it Mr. Bright, what with the weather and all." The shopkeeper named Evan said.
"Just get me the usual." Lee said, unzipping his pocket in his coat to retrieve his wallet.
"Right you are." Evan disappeared in the back for three minutes, leaving Lee to admire the extensive range of products, before Evan came back, a black unmarked plastic bag in his hands. He placed the bag on the desk. "Volume 2 of Betty's Boomers, Volume 6 of Adventures of a Body, and the latest in LEWD magazine. That right Mr. Bright?"
Lee nodded.
"That'll be $50, please." Evan held out his hand, which was soon filled with money that Lee had pulled out.
"Thanks." Lee grunted turning and walking back towards the door.
"Have a nice day!" Evan called as Lee walked through the door, which clicked shut. When he was back in the alleyway, Lee pulled one of the DVD's out and covered it with his jacket so it wouldn't get wet, admiring the front cover. He couldn't wait until he got home.
The needle went neatly into the side of Lee's neck and a sweet smelling cloth was put against his mouth. Lee struggled, but soon found himself going weak and all too soon fell unconscious. The last thing he saw was a ghostly white face leering at him.
Line Break
The room was dark. A faint gurgle of water was heard, as well as some kind of rattling. A door stood on the far right of the room, and a metal grating of about two doors width on the left. Dust gathered in the corner of the room, and spider webs hung from the roof, although still and silent. No creature moved, at least, not until Lee groaned low.
Lee's eyes flickered open, but since he was still numb from the chemical on the cloth he didn't start to panic. He lowly registered he was sitting in a chair, but he remained where he was despite the fact there were no binds. Nothing keeping him down.
Lee blinked, and registered his situation.
"What the fuck..." he murmured, slowly rising from his chair. A sudden tug from his wrist caused him to look down to see some kind of wire or string fall to the floor. A faint sound of static was heard, before a cool voice filled the room.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Bright. The Chloroform effects should be running out. Do not panic, Mr. Bright, after all, you should have expected this. I want to state, quite simply, that you disgust me, Mr. Bright. You disgust me, in the fact that you have sinned. You have sinned against He who raised us, He who lets us become whole. You have betrayed His trust. How? I'll tell you. Mr. Bright, there are seven main sins in this world. Seven deadly sins. Each deserves a punishment. I am the Angel who judges you. For many years, Mr. Bright, you have committed the sin of Lust. You visit the same shop every week to receive the fix of, not drugs, but physical pleasure. You seclude yourself from the rest of the Giving World with your magazines and your DVD's. It is ironic, though, in that you, despite being so old, are a virgin. The fact no woman accepted you drove you to commit this sin. But do not be afraid, Mr. Bright. I, as the Angel, will give you a chance to redeem yourself."
The tape paused, and Lee started to panic, sweat beading on his forehead. "What the fuck is this!" Lee ran over to the door, but it was locked. He pounded on the steel door to no avail. "Let me out right now! Who the fuck do you think you are!"
The screeching of steel caused Lee to turn around towards the steel grating, which was rising. What he saw almost made him gag. A naked woman hung from the ceiling by her hands, and black leather binds wrapped around her slim arms, belly and legs. Her mouth was gagged, but tears stained her eyes.
"This woman has also committed the sin of Lust, Mr. Bright. However, she, unlike you, has already failed her redemption. She gains no more chances. Mr. Bright, you dream of touching a real woman's body; today is your chance. The key to the door, and to your freedom, lies in her body. You will find a scalpel on the table next to her, and you have one minute. If the time runs out, and you have not unlocked the door, you will be trapped here, isolated with a woman. Like you've always wanted. Make your choice, Mr. Bright. Redeem yourself, or die."
The tape clicked off, and Lee looked at the woman. Never in his wildest dreams did he think this would happen to him. One minute he is doing his usual stuff, and then the next... in some sick perverts den. Lee saw the scalpel and grabbed it, breathing heavily. His throat had constricted and he couldn't talk. He looked to the woman and his knuckles turned white from clenching the surgeon's tool so tightly.
The woman twisted and turned, and Lee licked his chapped lips. The faint ticking was in the back of his head, but no indication of how much time had passed. Two seconds, five seconds, ten seconds?
Lee moved the scalpel closed to the woman and she started to move even more, fear in her eyes. 'Shit, where the hell am I mean to look!'
Lee gulped, looked away, and sliced the scalpel crudely across the belly of the woman, as this seemed the best place to start. Lee looked and gagged. The skin had split easily and he could see the muscles and the intestines, slipping from the ragged cut. Lee ignored the moans of the woman and started to rummage through her stomach.
This was too much for him, and he suddenly vomited on the floor, the yellow and green brightening up the room. He continued to be sick, his throat burning and his eyes watering. He finally finished and hesitantly got up, speechless from shock and disgust.
He raised the scalpel again, but his hand shook, and he dropped it. The scalpel slid across the room, but before Lee could move a high pitched beep sounded, before the words of the killer spoke out to him.
"Mr. Bright, that was your chance. It is over. Congratulations, though, you can spend as much time as you want with a woman."
As the room went silent again apart from the moans of the woman Lee went to move forward to get the scalpel. He'd still be able to get the key, this psychopath didn't think of that! But the grating suddenly fell down fast, blocking his way to the scalpel.
Lee reached through the grating, moaning and whimpering as his hope was lost.
