Chapter Five: Death of the Loudmouth
Lily's POV
When I came to I was lying on one of the couches in Mickey's. Travis, Robbie, Eric, and Mickey were all standing over me looking worried.
"Lily! Are you alright?" Travis asked as Mickey handed me a glass of water.
"Yeah, I guess it was the shock. The Roscoe Killer got both of them?" I asked. Robbie nodded.
"Lily, maybe I should take you home. We can go out some other time," Eric offered.
"Sure," I said getting up. Eric took my hand and led me outside. I felt like I was going to collapse and Eric must have realized it too because he put a hand around my waist to help hold me up.
"Eric, do you believe that someone can do something with out realizing it?" I asked.
Eric looked at me thoughtfully for a moment before he said, "You mean like while you're deep in thought your mouth is talking and you don't even realize it?"
"No I mean like doing something bad. Everyone who's been killed died the same day they did something to make me upset," I said.
"So you think you're the killer?" Eric asked. "Lily, I think you'd remember if you killed like six people. It isn't something you can forget about."
"I know it sounds crazy, but I just think that maybe I'm doing it subconsciously. Or maybe I'm possessed?" I said. Immediately I felt like an idiot. I couldn't believe what I had just said.
"Lily, maybe you just feel guilty because you were mad at them when they died. I seriously doubt that you'd ever kill anyone," Eric said giving me a smile.
We walked the rest of the way in silence. All I could think about was how someone could kill so many innocent people.
We reached my front step and all I had intended to do was say goodbye and to thank him but the next thing I knew I had my lips pressed to his.
Eric's POV
Lily had said goodbye and thanked me for walking her home then suddenly she threw her arms around me and kissed me. It was really surprising, but not unpleasant.
Then something very bad happened. Her dad opened the front door. Lily and I pulled apart quickly.
"Lily…come inside," he said coldly.
"Let me just say goodbye to Eric," she said. He looked at her for a second then closed the door.
She turned to me. "Sorry about that."
"It's cool," I said.
"Sometimes he can be really annoying. Honestly, he treats me like I'm three. I guess I'll see you later," she said. She kissed my cheek and went inside.
Killer's POV
I sat in Mickey's thinking about how long I could keep at this before I got caught.
I heard someone mention Lily's name so I started paying attention to their conversation.
"Seriously, think about it! Every time someone makes that girl mad they're murdered? Ray dumped her, Parker and Meagan kicked her out of the band…Lily has motive every time!" The girl talking was Krissy Pollard. She was talking to some girl I didn't know.
Well we can't let her drag Lily's name through the mud. I got up and left for the same spot where I had waited for dearly departed Chuck.
Krissy came out and I dragged her into the alley. I stuck a piece of tape over her mouth and turned her head so she was looking at me. I knew that her platinum blonde hair was her pride and joy so I cut off her ponytail. She started crying and I smirked.
I slashed her arms a couple of times for the fun of it. I decided to mix it up a bit. I pulled out the same gun I had used to kill Ray and shot her three times in the chest. I cleaned off my knife on what was left of her hair and left. Three deaths in one day.
