Chapter 3
Late at night, when no one was awake, Jason stalked the hallways looking for his next victim. Jason's body count was already in the double digits since he had landed himself in the lake, this had included several of the inhabitants of the lake, a couple students, and the one they called "Filtch". Jason didn't count Filtch's cat as a kill because that was simply dull. Ms. Norris had worn a timeless expression of horror as she watched Jason tear her master limb from limb then shovel his intestines down her throat until the gurgling stopped and she fell limp.
Jason had spotted three students coming from the library, making their way back to their commons. They hadn't spotted him so he decided to slip back into the shadows as they drew nearer and nearer. After the first student was within arms reach Jason reached out and clipped him in the neck with a knife he had swiped from dinner time. The only sound the student made was a gurgling sound as he fell over and started to bleed out, Jason had not anticipated that the kid would snag one of his fellow peer's robes upon falling, nor did he care. The two that remained had a look of horror at the scene and quickly distanced themselves as they drew out their wands. Some silly words were said as the wands were aimed at Jason and he found himself flying back into the stone wall and dropping his knife.
Quickly picking himself up off the floor, he searched for some kind of projectile to return at the kids. His luck served him well as he landed an eye on a stone brick loosely fit in the wall. Jason tore it out of the wall as one of the students started mumbling something new. Before the youngster could finish what he was chanting, a brick slammed into his face, crushing in his nose, knocking out his teeth, and tearing out his eye where the corner had struck. The student knelt over and held his face as blood and puss gushed out onto the castle floor. The other student was aiming his wand at Jason but couldn't manage to stop stuttering the curse. Jason approached as quickly as his big body would allow, snatching the wand out of the students hand and running it through the kid's mid-section. Hoisting the kid up by the neck with one hand, Jason snapped the wand in two and jammed the splintered shard into the kid's forehead. The student eye's rolled into the back of his head as Jason allowed him to crumple to the floor in a bloody heap.
The student who had been bleeding out still remained holding his face as Jason's attention shifted. There was no way Jason would allow this kid the simplicity of bleeding to death, especially not after the kid had assaulted him. Picking up the brick, Jason grabbed the kid by the hair and began to drag him over to the library. Once inside the library, Jason wasted no time in tying the kid down to one of the tables using pieces of the boy's robes as rope.
Jason began beating one of the boy's knee caps with the brick until the brick was broken and there was a sharp edge to it. Screams pierced through the library like sirens. Using the sharp piece of brick Jason quickly ran it up through the student's torso, the student fell dead from loss of blood and pain. Jason reached inside the kid and pulled out his innards, then sloppily threw them over the table and let them dangle.
Jason did not feel his job was done but surely someone must have heard the screams. He did not want to draw attention to himself and have a major confrontation, especially when there were hundreds of bodies that needed to be ravaged and lots of blood to be spilt. He did what any normal serial killer would do he picked up the bodies and buried them outside by the half giants hut.
