Chapter 1: Black
NOTE: I have decided that I'm going to make the diary chapters have flashbacks in them from the victim's POV.
It's done. One down. Not in the least satisfying, but this is only the beginning.
The blow that extinguished her life, like a jet of water to a flame…I felt like a tiny bit of debt had been repaid. A few minutes, maybe even hours of suffering compensated for. It felt strange. Then again, she was strange.
I've always thought that New York is at its most beautiful when you can see what's going on. From the tallest apartment buildings, nobody can hide their secrets any more. I see everything that's going on.
That's how I knew that I was going to die that night. You could call it fate, or a sixth sense. I call it the fact that my shop's the only one open this late at night around here. Simple deduction. I like the night, it's my customers' favourite time too.
A figure, dressed all in black, but for a gold mask covering their face. I thought about running, or fighting, but what would be the point? I have always been fascinated by death. It's the next great adventure.
I picked up the phone and made my final call.
"Mike? I'm sorry. It was you, it was always you. Remember that after I'm gone."
I open the door and smile. "You can come in."
The figure seems a little startled, but walks inside. They survey my little clothes shop, then their eyes come right back to me. Pools of liquid emerald. I know those eyes; I've seen them so many times before, but never with this much anger.
It all slots into place. That's good. I would never want to die with a mystery unsolved. If only I could have saved the others.
A flash of silver, a gasping breath, and everything's gone.
She always was the quiet one, but she saw things that nobody else noticed. I never really had much against her, but she would have been tiresome to deal with later.
Mommy? Can you hear me?
It's begun, and you won't see the end.
Hope you like the first murder chapter. This one should be quite easy to figure out. Remember, reviews make me write better! Feel free to review suggestions for who you want to die!
