THE VAMPIRE AND THE SLAYER
This is my first story here and it's about a vampire and a slayer in a web of a murder mystery.
I am sending two chapters together because the first one is very short.
Prologue:
"You will die! You will pay for what you did you mortal! I will make you pay. I will have my revenge"
An icy whisper slashed through the graveyard. A lone figure stood in the darkness. It bended down on one knee, extended a white hand and placed it on a freshly filled graveyard. The head stone read:
Madalyne Fernald
Born 1974 died 1999
"You will be avenged Madalyne! I, Anastasia Westmorland, swear it on your grave! I will avenge you!"
A woman's voice hissed.
And so the hunt began.
Chapter 1:
"What kind of a person would kill like that? A wooden stake through the heart?"
Frustrated,Ray Maitland said as he moved his steel gray eyes from the files in his hand to his FBI partner,Kai Ravenwood.
Some would say that Ray Ravenwood was much more handsome than Kai but that wasn't true. Both men were tall and Muscular.Ray had a softer look to him though Kai was more ruggedly built.Ray with hisgolden eyes and dazzling smile attracted more women then Kai with his intense killer gray eyes. Both the men were the best at what they did; solving murder cases.
At the moment both the FBI agents' men were sitting in Ray's office, investigating the murder of Madalyne Fernald. The room was tastefully furnished in the shades of light blue. The blue carpets and the curtains behind Ray's table added to the splendor of the room. But at the moment, the table was strewn with different files and pictures from different angles of the murder scene.
"Seems like someone got extremely impressed by how a vampire is killed in the stories"
Kai said softly. He got up from chair placed next to Ray's Head chair, and walked towards the door.
"I am going to get some water. Want some?" Kai asked
"No"
Ray replied distractedly. He watched as Kai went out of the room. He picked up a picture in which Madalyne, a plain looking woman, was lying on the floor wearing a pink shirt with denim jeans. A wooden stake was sticking out of her chest, where her heart was.
"Any vague idea of the motivation there Ray?"
Kai's voice jarred him out of his thoughts. Ray jerked his head up and saw Kai towards the chair he had abandoned before.
"Money' Ray answered. " Man I am impressed! You did not even make a sound when you entered"
Kaismirked and said "I did. You were too busy on that picture to hear me. So, let's go over some facts" Kai said at once serious.
"The women was incredibly rich, had no husband... Parents deceased…"
Ray said thoughtfully
"…Had many houses and lands in many different places"
Kai added as he consulted some of the files on Ray's table. Kai looked one of the files and grew thoughtful. Ray looked up and saw the expression on Kai's face and at once asked
"What?"
"She didn't have many friends except Anna Black, who was her best friend, and Anastasia West. Madalyne also named everything she had, in her will, to Anna Black. So technically…"
Kai replied but Ray cut him off
"So technically Anna had the biggest motive as she had the most to gain"
Ray said flatly looking at the corner of the room. Kai noticed.
"Why the sudden doubt?"
"Hmm..? Oh… just that I don't think she did it. I mean she is the one who called the cops at the murder scene. She didn't run away and was the most devasted at the loss of her friend. There are also some slight signs of struggle. Anna was Madalyne's best friend. She trusted her, then why would she struggle?" Ray explained
"Good point. But for all we know, the innocent looking Anna might be the world's biggest actress. And any ways, the signs of struggle are almost none existent which might indicate that they were NOT the signs of struggle. Maybe she was rearranging the settings or when Madalyne got to know the Intentions of her friend, it was too late and she could only leave slight signs of struggle"
Kai said as he got up and walked to the corner of the room where a whiteboard was placed. Picking up a board marker, he wrote 'MADALYNE'S MURDER CASE SUSPECTS'. Then he wrote Anna Black on the board and underlined it.
"Right" Ray said, still unconvinced. "So who are the rest of the suspects on your list Kai?"
"Everyone associated with her. Everyone is a suspect except you and me. And I am not sure about you anymore Ray." Kai joked.
"Very funny. Ha ha ha."
Ray replied sarcastically as he got up and asked.
"What about Anastasia West? She might have been so jealous that Madalyne gave her money to Anna that she killed her. But then again, why kill Madalyne? Why not kill Anna and then try to get the money out Madalyne?"
"Yeah. So there are less chances of her being the killer. But killers also have strange thought. She might have thought that her grudge was against Madalyne and not Anna as she did not name everything to herself. So, Shall we go and get some statements then?"
Ray nodded asKai put down the board marker and both men moved out of the office.
Do send reviews to let me know how I am doing.
