A/N: Hey! Wow, it's been so long since I've written anything. Sorry—school's eating me alive. Plus, I'm dealing with some morons there calling me names and shit…ANYWAYS. I decided to carry out Ian's character a bit more. I sat there, wrote shorts with him, did role plays (with my friends) that involved Ian, so on and so forth. I wish I could tell you a lot, but it'd ruin the story ;) What I can tell you, from Roxy and Steph's experiences with RP's…Ian is a jackass XD He's hated by many people.
Chapter Two
I woke up the next day in a pretty good mood. The sun was out and birds were perched on the balcony outside, mourning doves actually. They're my favorite type of bird…they make me feel calm. Of course, that calm feeling was disrupted by my text alarm.

The song was 'Zetsubou Billy' by Maximum the Hormone. I picked up my little Nokia cell phone and opened the message I'd received. 'what r u doing 2day' from Eiris. I just shook my head at her horrible writing. I replied, 'I was going to ask you if you wanted to go dress shopping. I have a wedding to go to.'
'whos wedding'
'John's younger brother.'
'ohhh k'
'So, want to go? There's a dress shop on the corner.'
'ya. give me fifteen minutes then meet me in the lobby'
'Got it—bye!'
I managed to drag myself out of bed and headed to the bathroom. I brushed my hair, put on my eyeliner (but only on my bottom lid), put on my mascara, then picked out an outfit. A black baggy, long sleeved shirt that was a bit big at the wrists and a plain black skirt. But I paused for a minute—what was the temperature today? I grabbed the nearby remote and turned on the TV. It made a small noise and the picture burst in a flash of white to the normal colored picture.
"Well, we have more information on the Silent Serial Killer this morning. It appears that he's claimed two more victims, but this time they were both together; the victims were Jennifer Leighton and Anthony Jackson and they were found in Manhattan. This was found odd because as past records will tell you, the Silent Serial Killer tends to play it safe and kills only one at a time. He left a typed note on the two bodies that was found by the police. It read: I felt the need to take a couple this time because I'm feeling some heartache. Until I feel…cured, then the taking of couples will continue."
I stared at the screen in disbelief. The guy was freaking insane! Whoever this 'Silent Serial Killer' was, I couldn't help but hope he gets caught and executed. Anyways, I got the forecast and the weather was perfect for my outfit. I got dressed, slipped on my white and black knee-high socks and adorable black buckle shoes. I grabbed my purse, slipped my phone and room key in it, and then headed out of the room and down to the lobby.
"Hey!" Eiris smiled and gave me a hug, as if she hadn't seen me in forever. "Hey…" I murmured. "What's wrong?" she asked me as she kept her hands on my shoulders. "I just saw this thing on the news. Some Striped Silent Killer guy killed a couple in Manhattan and said he's going to try to kill every couple he can get his hands on until his heartache disappears. It's…kind of got me worried." I replied. "You're worrying for nothing, Dame. Really, what are the chances that you and John would be targeted?" Eiris smiled, "Manhattan is a big place!" "But…you never know. Besides, I've never even heard of this guy!" I frowned at her smile. "Oh my god, you've NEVER heard of the Silent Serial Killer? He's been around for years—I think three or four." Eiris looked to the side, almost lost in thought. I shrugged at my lack of information, "Why do they call him that?"
"He only kills at night, when everything is dark enough for him and he makes no sound when killing. It's like he's a ghost or something." Eiris and I started out of the lobby and headed down the street. "Then…don't wonder around at night, would be a good idea." I said as Eiris and I waited for the street light to turn red so we could hurry across the street. "Yeah, probably…Anyways, who's John's little brother marrying?"
"His girlfriend, obviously…" we went down the crosswalk and came to the dress shop. "I know that, I meant her name." Eiris murmured. "Oh, I don't know her name. John never told me." I replied. After two more minutes of senseless talk, we reached the dress shop.
"This'll be fun." Eiris dragged me into the store.
