Fireflies
Of course my night went from bad to worse when I got a call from Lydia telling me she found a dead body. I pulled up at the pool and got out, running over to the distraught girl. "Lyds. Are you okay?" I demanded.
"I'm okay. That, over there... Not okay." I looked at the chair to see a dead body.
"Yeah, all right. I'm gonna call my dad."
"I already called 911."
"You called the police before you called me?"
"I'm supposed to call you first when I find a dead body?"
"Yes!" I yelled before walking over to the body. It's neck was slit with a knife, not claws so I figured Scott didn't need to know right away. He was wearing a purity ring and I could see that he had been strangled as well. "Lyds, go sit in my car 'til my dad comes." I ordered. "And wipe off your shoes with the wet wipes in my glove compartment!" I called to her back.
I drove Lydia home once the cops got our statements and walked her up to her room. "Lydia, what drove you there?"
"My car." I just gave her a look. "I don't know. I didn't know where I was until I got out of the car."
"Did anything strange happen before hand?"
"I screamed like a lunatic for no reason." Lydia said, thinking.
"You screamed? You are absolutely sure?" I demanded, kneeling in front of her and grasping her arms.
"Stiles."
"Answer me." I shook her for good measure.
"Yes, I screamed."
"Lydia, I just might know what you are." I said proudly. "But I need to double check, I'll see you tomorrow."
I was headed home to get the bestiary when Melissa called and so I headed to the hospital.
"Hey. What do you have to show me?" I asked.
"In the morgue. And if you tell anyone, I will kill you slowly and painfully." Melissa threatened.
"Like I would. This is my world too." We walked into the morgue and Melissa pulled the sheet off the boy.
"He was strangled, his throat slashed and hit over the head with blunt force trauma. Someone seriously wanted this poor kid dead."Melissa explained.
"So something else is killing people? Great, wonderful, absolutely amazing."
"And he's not the only one." Melissa walked over to the other body and pulled down the sheet. It was Heather.
"Oh my god, Heather." At my words, Melissa quickly covered the body.
"You knew her?"
"Yeah, I went to her birthday party. She and Anubis were going to have sex." Melissa gave me a look. "As Andy. She didn't want to be a seventeen year old virgin. Has anyone else been through here tonight? Any... any other bodies, or even anybody missing?"
"Uh, no, no bodies, but, um..."
"What?"
"Two girls. They brought the first one in, Caitlin, for a tox screen, and then I overheard that her girlfriend, Emily, just disappeared. I mean, they were out in the woods and..."
"Nobody's found her yet?"
"I don't know."
"Okay, first one. Caitlin. Is she here? Is she here right now?"
"I think so."
"Okay, where?"
"Okay, okay, wait. Just wait a minute."
"I have to talk to her."
"Why?"
"Because I think I know what's happening."
Melissa led me to Caitlin and let me in to see her. She confirmed what I was afraid of. Emily was a virgin and she was missing. The three fold death and it normally had multiple layers. The virgin layer was done. Now just however many more until the killer was satisfied and had enough power. "This is not going to end well."
