Just another little side note, what's written in italics, that's a flashback and there's quite a few of them. Just thought I'd warn you.
Clove stood outside in the dark, waiting for the sender of the message to appear. She sighed, pacing. She never liked the night, not since what had happened all those years ago.
Fifteen years ago
Screaming and yelling. That was the only thing Clove could hear. Jason hugging her tightly, he was only young, well, so was she. Her older sister wasn't in the room with them, and her mom and dad were out, again.
A noise woke her up from her nightmarish memories. She gripped the pen knife in her back pocket tightly,she carried it around to a lot of places, especially at night. This part of town wasn't exactly the safest area to be. She eased up slightly a few moments after she heard it. She looked over at one side of the street, still not seeing any sign of the person she was waiting for. Clove looked at her watch, 11:56. She sighed, another four minutes to go. She started pacing again, trying to count down until it was midnight. She winced again at another noise, tightening her grip.
"I hate this." She muttered. She looked up at the starry sky, trying to make time go quicker.
"Just stay here, alright?" Her older sister, Alexis, told her and Jason this before she went out of the room. Alexis was there half baby sitting and half packing up her things. She moved out last week but a lot of her things were still at their house. Clove didn't have that much of an idea what was going on, so she just stayed silent, hoping whatever was going on would be over soon.
It was really cold that night, the temperature was surely below zero. She hugged herself, trying to keep warm. Her heart was pounding, she's never been out at night, not this late at least. She bit her lower lip, really wanting time to speed up, she hated it there. She wanted to be at her apartment a couple streets away. Sure, it would still be dark and not so safe, but at least she wouldn't be as on display as she was there.
At one point in that night, there was silence, then the sound of a gun shot and shattering glass. Jason quickly got up
"Lexi!" He yelled, and ran out of the room. Him and her always called Alexis, Lexi, they all had names for each other. Clove quickly followed him out of the room. First she saw the broken window in Lexi's old room, then there was a lot of blood on the walls and carpet. And right in the middle of the room, was her older sister, Lexi, lying completely still.
She heard footsteps, and immediately started panicking. She got out her knife and gripped it tightly in her hand.
"Hello?" She asked, not that she expected a response. She took a few shaken steps towards the sound, her knife pointed directly outwards. She saw the figure getting closer, and not freaking out got harder and harder to do. The figure in the dark kept getting closer, and she lunged, trying to attack, letting out a scream. The figure grabbed her wrist before she could do any damage. Clove looked up and saw his ice blue eyes, eyes she saw earlier that day "You."
"Look at that." Cato smirked "You put the pieces together." He ruffled up her hair while she glared at him
"What do you want?" She really wasn't in the mood for him, or the dark, or anything she had in her situation. She still held the knife out, just in case something bad happened
"I want to help you on your case." He looked down at her, and down at the knife "Can you put that away now? I'm not going to kill you or anything.
"Really? Because your boss said..." She put the knife away
"I know what he said." He interrupted her "But you saw me there today, I had nothing to do. Besides, you can't do this on your own."
"Oh yeah? Why not? I know everything there is to know about his death." She folded her arms, slightly offended by what he just said
"But you don't have the resources at your hands, do you?" He asked, and she stayed silent. "So, you wanna solve this case soon with help, or in about ten years without me."
"With you." She smiled slightly "I'm Clove by the way
"Cato." He half smiled back, finally, a case he won't get kicked off of. Probably
Please review. Short chapter, I know. I'm sucky at writing long ones. Anyway, I'm off to play Slender, for the first time. So if there aren't any updates to this story or any new ones from me, I probably died. I'm not scared, she said then died. Okay, until next time!
