More than a week had passed since the incident with Gwen. The police began to come by less and less, having found no sign of the Providence murderer on campus. Everything seemed to be calming down. But there was something somewhere that was beginning to crack.

Lilith slowly tapped her pencil against the desk during class. She had not been focusing on today's lecture, her mind had been elsewhere. She was starting to lose the battle against her mind. Something had to happen and it had to happen quickly.

It was finally time to murder Margret. However, Lilith had no idea how she would do it. Her mind had been a mess after that day at Daniel's dorm room. She decided that if she were to catch Margret alone, then she would quietly slice her throat as she did with Gwen. As soon as she got to her room, Lilith received a text:

Emerson:
Babe, come study with me.

Lilith frowned.

Lilith:
Sure, where?

Emerson:
The quad, meet me there at 5. <3

Lilith:
K.

Lilith had decided she would play the part of a loving girlfriend. Although in reality, she wanted nothing more than to wring Emerson's neck until he turned blue.

Later that day she did as she was asked. Lilith found Emerson waiting for her outside her dorm building.

"Hey, did you eat?" He asked her as she walked down the steps.

"Yeah, I ate a little while ago with Esme."

Emerson took her hand and she almost swiped it away, but then quickly remembered her act. They both made their way down to the quad where they saw other students chatting and studying.

"Let's sit here," Emerson said, sitting under a big tree.

Just before Lilith could sit beside him she realized she had forgotten her book. "Shoot, I'll be right back."

"Where ya going?"

"I left my book back in my room."

She dropped her notebook and pens next to Emerson and walked back to her dorm. When she came back out of the dormitory with her book, a certain someone caught her eye. It was Margret. She had walked into a building where all the professors had their offices. Lilith followed quietly behind her, making sure no one would see her. It seemed as though Margret had some business with a professor. However, she was not there for office hours.

Lilith saw as Margret suspiciously walked into a professor's office and then quietly closed the door behind her. She proceeded to pull down the blinds of the small window that was at the center of the door. Lilith swiftly made her way next to the door to see if she could overhear anything.

"Well, well Professor Williams, I didn't think you were the type to make a booty call."

Lilith's eyes widened in realization. Professor Williams was one of the many math professors at Brown. Lilith had had him her first semester there. He had a wife and three children. Even grown men were viable to cheating, this was obvious. But someone as esteemed and well known as Professor Williams? It was becoming ridiculous.

"Just make this quick," the professor whispered and that's when Lilith took a seat at the end of the hall.

She would rather do anything than hear Margret give the professor a blowjob. Lilith sat there waiting for Margret to leave, to follow her, and end her.

After about thirty minutes, the door finally opened. Lilith hid behind a magazine that had been sitting on the table next to her. She watched as Margret scurried away into the bathroom. This was her chance. She threw the magazine aside and made her way to the same bathroom. She calmly went in and found Margret washing her hands. They both smiled at one another but didn't say a word. Lilith pretended she was going to the bathroom and went into one of the stalls. When she came back out she found Margret fixing her makeup. Do it, do it now, Lilith told herself in her head. So she did.

Lilith took out her switchblade and quietly walked up behind Margret. Lilith, however, had forgotten one crucial thing. There was a mirror where Margret could see everything behind her. She saw Lilith holding the knife and screamed. That made Lilith jump onto her. Margret began to yell for help and bit Lilith's arm making her let Margret go. Margret ran out of the bathroom, into the hall, and out of the building. Realizing what had happened, Lilith dropped her knife onto the floor in shock.

Margret had escaped.
