The night was gray and bitter cold, I stood mesmerized in the blood stained snow.... her body laid motionless. Her eyes were bloodshot red, three keen knives were plunged into different parts of her chest. Donna was such a sweet, innocent girl... who could possibly want her dead? The sounds of sirens boomed throughout the atmosphere as the police vehicles arrived at the scene, I exchanged one final glance towards the diseased body and left. Despair filled every ounce of my body as I walked through the blankets of snow coating the sidewalks, I should've been there for her. A swift shock of grief pierced through my veins as I passed by her house, I figured her mom would take the news more lightly if her daughter's boyfriend informed her. While …show more content…

The news reminded me about the envelope, I switched the TV off as I removed the crimson, red seal on the letter, and withdrew the letter from the envelope. A large three was branded with blood on the white sheet of paper... I don't understand what the number three has to do with any of it. Wait... three kids were slain and Donna's body was found with three knives plunged in her. I swiftly began searching up the details from the recent murders on my MacBook.... I believe I'm on to something here. The first victim was found dead on the first day of December, with a one carved into his forehead along with a missing eye.
