Is Ellie the murderer? Should I tell you? How the hell is Vlad going to tie into this? All I can say is……read on!
Ellie's POV
I'm standing outside of the church, locking up my motorcycle (I know should have taken the taxi). Looking at it makes me feel kind of less worried. I wondered if Mr. Lancer really trusted me. I thought about how annoying Star was! (That will be explained later)
"Okay your wasting time here, just go inside Ellie," I ordered myself, then walked inside the church. When I sat down on a pew, I noticed a change in the church. They finally changed the decorations by the altar! I know why too, me complaining about it. The church was empty. Waiting for me, or talking to me. Then I noticed Father Connie gesturing me to the back of the church near where he was standing. I obeyed the order and walked slowly over, noting the changes and beauty of the church.
"Ellie, I haven't seen you in church lately."
"Yea, I'm sorry, I've been busy with school and…"
"There is no excuse Ms. Fade."
"I know, I guess you've also heard about-"
"In fact, I have, but I know you did not do anything wrong."
"Thank you, but you can't fix the facts."
"But you can always pray Ellie," he said, seriously and forgivingly.
"I know, I've always been lazy, and I guess I haven't wanted to go to church."
"Do some sweeping around here, then we will have a better talk."
"Yes father."
Danny's POV
School went by really slowly. But I guess that's because I was worried about Ellie. Did she kill Mr. D and Dash?
(Flashback)
"Death, you're late, for the fifth time this week! Didn't the orphanage ever teach you promptness?" the strict teacher scolded.
"Sorry Mr. D, late night homework, the ba-" she had said too much when she hit the word 'band'.
"Music comes after school Ms. Fade! You're lucky you're not spending your fifth detention with me! I'll teach you discipline!"
(End Flashback)
See, Death was Ellie's nickname from Mr. D, and Ellie wasn't just at band practice, she was also saving my butt from Skulker. She was almost always late, and hated when people talked about her orphanage. (Which Mr. D always did) But that wasn't her only reason for hating him, she had so many more……
I caught up with Sam and Tucker.
"Do you really think Ellie killed them?"
"Not really, but the least expected ones are usually the killers."
"Thanks for the relief Sam," I protested.
"Danny………"
I ran out. School was over anyways, where was Ellie? I decided to search.
Sam's POV
When I got home, I was worried for Danny. He was going to do something he would regret. I just knew it. I was lying on my bed when my mother told me I had a phone call.
"Do you want to know who did it?" an eerie voice mumbled.
"What? Who is this?"
"Do you want to know the lead to the murders?" they half questioned half teased.
"Yes….. no….I mean, I don't know!"
"Call me back when you make up your mind," they hung up. Who was that and should I trust them?
What secrets lie in Ellie's reconciliation with Father Connie? When is the next murder? What insane action is Danny going to regret? Will Sam answer the call? What does Ellie have against Star? ……….The next chapter holds the answers!
