CHAPTER 3
WARNING: MATURE CONTENT FOR 18+ [ If you are below 18, please leave, because it may not be suitable for your age. Thank you :) ]
Screeeech. There are series of screams. Shambles chain clanked, misheard pleas to be spared had never actually come so forth as there is no salvation. Soreness knocked through instill walls; distraught camouflage by endless sorrow – continuous- unending. The raging river flow. Anger aroused by something unjust were fueled to set ablaze, and berserk to destroy many that scarred, and harm innocence that was left to rot, and bygone for ages.
Unbearable dreary nights overflow. As for the woman lying mindlessly, hopelessness and doom is what awaits for her. Tears-stained face, grim and sooth from how hard she cried last night painted the pinkish glow on her cheeks that almost mourn a pale blue colour of the cold winter. The metal bed leads to the aching pain on her back, but that’s least of her worries. On that room screams misery abhorred life, the smell of flesh and death bleed anguish and grief. Prolonged agony that to beg would be a mistake leading for her own grave.
“I-I wanna go home.” If she hadn’t gotten out, uncaring of the risk, would she been there? Perhaps, no, but lament accords to who’s at fault promptly bitten the choices she made. To be back before weren’t an option anymore least to hunting she’d been preyed.
Her reverie were cut off; footfalls beyond underlies what she fears of. One. Two. Three. Footsteps echoed. A hum that bounce back on the walls rings back and forth, a malady that carry shivers. To shudder across as she knew what was coming. As the keys jingle, the door slowly part rumbling the creek that only add to the eerie ambiance suggesting that the place means no good at all.
“Hello, ángel.” To hated his guts were beyond recognition.
“P-please let me go.” Blurry eyes, she recoiled.
“Shhh, I can’t do that, ángel.”
Thump. A cold metal touches her skin, something sharp, and evidently curving as the culprit trace it across to where the cloth failed to cover – from her arms to her chest then it disappear.
“W-what are you doing?” Her lips quiver.
“I am not going to hurt you.” Yet his reassurance told otherwise. She knew better. She’s no fool at how he could have dismissed the terrifying truth as if her naivety could have been a bait prior to who really was this man. He is a monster out of this world, who should have not lived as he carry death on his steps.
“I am going to pray for you, ángel.” He soon declared. “I am going to clean you.”
“W-what...?”
But what happened next petrified her. Screams filled confinement released horrid smell, flesh carved out and nailed. Crucifix in reminder of mankind’s sin. The downfall of men beyond decades.
“Ave, ave dominus.... Dominus tecum.... Bendicta tu in mulieribus.” Nonstop, the man repeated over and over again.
With bloodshot eyes, he carefully tore off the visage. Scalpel penetrated through crave out leading to the splattered blood pooling on the metal bed. Pale lips, and lifeless eyes, skinless stunt that deems to be professionally set in display. The expression of utter misery on the hands of a murderous deed.
“I clean, yes.” And soon he laughs maniacally, and leave.
To devour the sin, yet he is also the sinner himself.
NAME: ALESSANDRA FUERTE CONSTACION
AGE: 20 YEARS OLD
ADDRESS: PUERTO VALLARTA, MEXICO
CAUSE OF DEATH: FATAL BLUNT FORCE INJURIES AND OVERDOSE PRIOR TO ACETAMINOPHEN.
[Acetaminophen is a drug regularly used for pain relief and is considered to be the most dangerous on the list due to its potential to cause liver damage and toxicity]
“A hooker?” Detective Charlie Reed flipped the pages open. A report containing the identification of the body prior to the sudden murder that has been reported.
It was 5 am in the morning, when their station received an unknown call that least to be identified as it is wired, to think that the caller would lead them to an abandoned two-story house stunned them. Presumably an assumption that it was a regular prank call, but the convoy they sent to investigate confirmed –counterfeit a corpse beyond recognition. In spite of, the genitals bared onslaught for prying eyes told them otherwise that the victim is a woman.
“That has been confirmed, yes.” The junior officer responded, turning blind-eyed towards the hanging corpse as it made his stomach churns.
The sight is horrifying to say the least.
Alessandra as her name is hanging on the ceiling, bare, and bleeding horribly dried and stick across her skin. She’s been dead for 10 hours. Pale lips parted, and underneath an unfamiliar symbol were written around her soles. Crucified, and the rotting flesh hanging atrociously is starting to attract flies. Yet, what makes it more ghastly gruesome is the fact that Alessandra is missing her whole face, tore off as to leave organs and veins on her once fresh-looking facade.
“Any idea about the culprit?” Detective Reed closed the folder.
“There are murders similar to her case that happened a few months ago.” The junior officer faced his senior detective. “Miranda Salvador, the same age around Alessandra, and yes – she is a hooker herself.”
“So, we are practically looking for a serial killer?”
“I can’t confirm yet, Detective.” The junior officer shook his head. “It could be a coincidence –“
Before he could finish what was he tries to imposed, Charlie cut him off.
“On our field, there are no coincidence, Detective.”
With his gaze, Charlie Reed stared ahead, cleaved the wound, unwavering at how Alessandra has been put into a lurid macabre. Fair skin tainted; dire eyes bulging towards the atrocity audaciously been committed. The absence of life that he could see she fought for, yet failed. To wish to live, yet given none. To hope to breathe, yet solely what she earned is death she never asked for.
“If you were correct, you told me that there are previous cases the same way she was killed.” Detective Charlie Reed queered. He never tore his gaze off from Alessandra. “If it happened years ago, I could have said the same, it is a coincidence or a copycat –inspired murders. Ever heard of Jack the ripper between 1800’s?”
“I do.” The junior’s forehead cease as to ponder what could have that serial killer’s connection to what they are dealing with. “He was never found, after he killed at least 5 women near the Whitechapel District of London’s East end.”
[Jack the Ripper was an English serial killer. Between August and November 1888, he murdered at least five women—all prostitutes—in or near the Whitechapel district of London’s East End. Jack the Ripper was never identified or arrested. Today the murder sites are the locus of a macabre tourist industry in London (Jenkins, 2021)]
“That’s right, but the killings never stop. There are inspired murders.” Charlie Reed confirmed. “During 1893 of February,
Henry G. Dowd explicitly committed the same crime as his. 7 drunk men that were killed without mercy.”
[By 1894 people stopped looking for Jack the Ripper in New York although several arrested murderers were described very explicitly as Ripper-style killers. One example from February 3, 1894: “Only a little over two years ago Henry G. Dowd rivaled the fiendish Jack the Ripper by slashing seven intoxicated, but inoffensive men in the Fourth Ward (Young, 2018).”]
“I never heard that yet, but I wasn’t unfamiliar with inspired killings as a reform to whom they admired, Detective. However, what I am intrigue is why are we talking about them as if they are connected with the case on our hand?” The junior officer’s frown deepens. “I couldn’t get what you were trying to imply, I’m sorry.”
“That’s alright.” Detective Charlie Reed reassured his junior. “What I was trying to say is that some serial killers could have the same and different ways to show their mark, and on this spree, I could say the same if you confirmed what I am putting into assumption.”
“What do you mean, Detective?” The young officer curiously asked.
“Did Miranda lose her face?”
Then realization hit the latter.
“Yes –Don’t tell me...?”
“Yes, it’s a serial killer, and their face if my hunch is right would be his trophy keepsake on his collections.”
BELIZE PUERTE, MEXICO
“What’s the matter?” Rio ponder.
If it wasn’t for Malcolm’s call exactly at 12 in the afternoon, she could have sworn to be wrapped up on dreams – left with no choice as she turned left and right leaving an earnest messy on top of her bed. Witching hour drawn for her nightmares. Afflicted thorn cursed through at the back of her head. Sleepless night in attribute with the gallant ordeal that had cause her to stay awake for more than an hour she couldn’t recall.
“I am just worried.” Rio heard him sigh on the other line. “Can’t you not just work tonight?”
What he said made her frowns.
“You know I can’t do that.” Rio put her phone down on the kitchen counter, yet never forget to tap the loudspeaker button as she prepare her breakfast –late as it seems, but the usual.
To think about what could have bitten Malcolm this time had intrigued her as he knew what her line of work was. It never matters actually. He do his business. She does her own. In spite of, both can count on each other if something goes wrong, unplanned and so sudden that could lead to ruse ailed for numerous disaster.
“I just got another news—”
She did not let him finish.
“A murder?” Rio placed 3 sliced pieces of bread on the toaster and left it until it was golden brown and ready to be serve.
“Yes.” Malcolm confirmed her suspicions. “And it is just around town.”
“You know I always take precaution.” Rio reassured the male.
“But there are rumours going around that it could be a serial killer.” The undertone told her how serious Malcolm was.
“Malcolm –“
“Just... If anything happens, call me immediately, okay? I’ll be in touch, just take care, please.”
The fear he always express touched her heart embedded on depth, and buried for ages. The brother she never had, yet she found on a circumstances she never asked for. The fate she never wished from how horror dragged her into. If only things has been different she wouldn’t be there, the same as his.
“I will.” Rio bit her lips to hide her smile. “I will, Malcolm.”

CHAPTER 4 Later that evening, El Casa Cuatro is full of rigor, one of the renown club around Mexico. Men loitered. The cheers of both sexes on vigour as they lost sanely –room confined by the smell of alcohol, smoke and sex. Sweaty bodies grind uncaring. Strangers who initiate intimacy in spite of unbeknownst circumstances. People on that place were driving themselves to ruin, but it makes them free. Cluttered disarray in a crude display to what excites them. “You are going to definitely rock that stage again.” One of the girl sitting right next to Rio – no, to Eve smiled at her. She have a fair skin, curls running on a semi-circle wave behind her nape and running around her neck put forth her appearance to be somewhat intoxicating just like her. A pair set of teeth, and dimples showcasing that it exist on each side of her cheeks. Clad on a lace robe, yet Rio knew better, the bareness
CHAPTER 5 [As the wind carry a malady that a flower leads to dither... Misheard pleas; voice locked outgrown mercy... ] WARNING: [ This include scenes, which is inappropriate for a younger audience. If you are below 18, you can stop reading and leave. Thank you :)] “R-ruscov—ah~h—...” Wails after another brazenly whimper moans that bounce back and forth from a lying woman; bareness shield by the sunlight seeping through from a barely open window. Sheets in mark of a primal needs conformed two person utterly in dismissal to carry out pleasure. The need of ecstasy, and the delight dwelled consciously they were blinded. Mounds exposed, suck and kneed, not until the loud rings in dismay made a fuss to the brewing sensation they are outstay and swayed; thirst in disturbance as the dial tone continue. The woman draw back from the kiss they
CHAPTER 6Rio silently lowered herself at the back of the counter. Hidden physique evoke for her to crawl until she could see through from the door on the 1st floor. Her hunch did not failed her. If reckless, it would only become a matter of time before those thieves scavenge what would be valuable on her house. It wasn’t just a woman, behind her is a group of thugs, 3 men in total in pursuit to the accomplice to urge the door to be open.“P-please! S—somebody!” Her cries compelled truth and anguish, only if Rio is a fool.Without much further ado, Rio opened a cabinet. To feel the wooden cluster and framed Beretta M9A3 without cradled teeter clutched on her hold. It feels heavy, and strange presupposed that it would come to trade her life had she least expected from. To carry it around embark the war it slurred over, a heirloom given scornful for unjustified actions. Rio never forge
CHAPTER 7If days had gone bad, it became much worst for the Belize station. It did not take for a week, before a new murder were reported. A man were find hanging on the cathedral, bareness in display, yet visage imposed how it was perfectly cut of as if somebody who are on the field of medicine is the main culprit. It was horrid. Both terrified priest and nun is in denial to how come that nobody noticed. Yet the autopsy says the male has been dead for over an hour. It’s stage, but no leads. All fingerprints that could have laid out some clue is absent.“This is driving me nuts.” Groans left Ruscov frustrated as he’s been over the information since the assignment has been given. The spouse and everybody related to the victims were interrogated, but their alibis probe that they weren’t the person that the law are soughing after.“Giving up already?” Senior Detective Charlie Conra
CHAPTER 8 BELIZE PUERTE, MEXICO A nasty headache excruciately is something that set to fester Rio’s mood. Another worst thing for how painful her back was after she dwelled on dreams on the tiled floor on her house sala. To recall what happened from the previous night drove her sour – the robbers and the vague memory of being knocked unconscious that cause her grew dizzy until morning came. “This is killing me.” She groans. Rio walked to the kitchen. She brewed some coffee to appease the growing headache, not before checking her phone to see any missed calls from Malcolm. A relief to breathe, when she found none. To worry him is least something she wanted to do. She takes small sips from her cup until her eyes landed towards the headline that caught her attention instantly. HEADLINE: A BODY WERE FOUND HANGING ON THE CATHEDRAL, MURDER OR A KILLING SPREE?
CHAPTER 9 [ And so the rabbit tried to run, but her chains keep her screams in secrecy.] “Damn, this is horrible, man.” A man barely on his 5ft tall in height scrunched his nose. He is wearing a khaki pants, and a flannel over his white undershirt. The cloth hug his masculine physique as he’s been on his field of work, when he received a phone call from the station in Belize. A witness had died. “Geez, she’s our only lead.” The other male on his company had a disappointing look on his eyes. With Ella Rodriguez being dead, this means a whole new picasso to start over again. She was there. The night, wherein the corpse on the cathedral identified as Indigo Marquez died on the hands of whom they now called as the reaper. The chaeron of hell. An angel of death. He hunted sheep’s during the night, to pry on how they deems harmless, unaware, and oblivious of how he brought the
CHAPTER 10: [And the sparrow sparked a cry; in shambles and chaos that it has never been spared –to peril or to die. ] [PLAYING: Coming to you by Grass] The lights flickered on and off. The pungent smell of blood, flesh and piss took over a dominion that could drove one nauseous. An utter silence envelope the place, walls intricate by cracks and holes. A ruin in display, while boulders were gathered on each corner. There’s a low tip-tap on the roof. A rendered cracked pummelled through that caught droplets of rain, which continue dripping on the floor creating some puddles. The entire room seems bizarre, unlikely and devoid of any soul as it appeared to be abandon for a very long time ago. But what strange was a silhouette were actually there pushing what it seems to be a stretcher. A white cloth covered its surface, but the bump and tremors presumably belongs
CHAPTER 11 [ Her feathers impeccable that it wither; innocence that were long forgotten dither... ]To dread most what could had happened put one anxious. A pit, where thoughts would be in shambles, crumbling to the extent that the brink of what if’s bottled up leading to nowhere. That’s what Rio felt that night. Her palms clammy, her head would continuously whipped across the phone lying across the table right outside her dresser. She fear that Malcolm would know about what happened, the robbery and the death of one of the thieves. Just the mere thought churned her insides. It wasn’t guilt, but something more closer to that word. Rio fear that she would be a primary suspect presumably as she assumed, because of the sudden visit of those two men on her address. But that’s least of her concern as of the moment.“You ready?” Laura had just ended her shift. Unlike her, she’s one of the fir
THE TABLES HAS BEEN TURNED CHAPTER 94 [And not all secrets come into hidden, they are just waiting to be unconcealed, and unfolded through public eye….] The news was shocking. To say the least that Agnes was stunned upon hearing it was beyond that word. It was as if she wanted to throw up, but she couldn’t. Upon her instructions to her uncle—Pablo Garcia, Agnes has been greeted by a horrible event she had not least expected to, nor had she been looking forwards earlier that morning. Her groggy eyes suddenly were both filled with fright—her hand shook, and Agnes found herself going for the remote to which at that moment suddenly had gone missing all of sudden. “Another brutal death had woke up Mexico earlier at 8 in the morning—“ The woman who was speaking of was looking grimly at the camera. Her entire face speaks of the tragedy behind her, and by means of—that place, Agnes couldn’t be mistaken, but she could have sworn that she knew where it was! “—two bodies were found dead, and
BLOODY ENCOUNTER CHAPTER 93 [So the corpses splattered across to the ground to which cause horror, and havoc that one had never experienced before…]“Pst, Bjorn—have you check the upstairs already?” Merlon asked, scrunching her nose upon she recalled on her memory the stench that was coming from the upper floor. It was foul, leading for her to throw up ever remains of the meal she had eaten that day. The scent still lingered on her nose no matter how much she sprayed some perfumes all over to her.“I am not quite sure yet.” The man whom she speaks of only shrugged his shoulder.This made her frown. Her forehead on a deep ceased as she did.Merlon is a small woman. She was standing full on her 5ft flat, she have a curly hair, a natural curls she had inherited from her late mother, who had passed away when she
THE WITNESS WHO SAW HER MURDEREDCHAPTER 92 [And so the dreams unfolded even before she knew it...]WARNING: 18+ This may include scenes, which is not suitable for a younger audience. This have gore, and explicit scenes, and if you are young, you may skip it up. Thank you, you had been warned J]Do you ever realized how scary it was to hear about the murders? To which the victims are mutilated until none, not even anybody of could find out who they are. Their identity, which was difficult to retrieved, because they had been battered—cut from the guts inside and out, whereas in a grotesque manner, nobody had ever could dare glance at them. It was frightening, something that could have given terrors to which one would be most afraid of. The nightmares it could have brought to which extent could deprived one from dwelling deeper unto the dreams they couldn’t withstand anymore.
MURDERS AND ABDUCTIONCHAPTER 91 [She is watching, no matter how much they try to harm her, they wouldn’t be able to—reckon the fact that she was guarded...]The sight before Gerry was horrifying.The ship to where he had set to meet Alexis and Jerome was now bathing, reeking of the flesh left as a remnants of those corpses that was lying in front of him. Their mouth were both gagged, tied as the broken bottle of beers were left struck on their forehead. Eyeballs on the ground, while the other was lolled back, yet they seems loosen. Their death is what he can tell to be something horrid.He couldn’t stomach what he see. His guts reeled and before he knew it, he was throwing up on the ground as it made him nauseated.“W—what the fuck.” Gerry shuddered.He had nothing of sort to expl
THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT CHAPTER 90 [ And so she can pry to what keeps her wide awake at night...] The witching hour to where it was supposed to be in utter solace has been smeared by something. Stained screams, blood curdling horrors that terrorise Alexis. He was massive. He is a big man, yet his entire visage are all painted with red. He looks scared, wearing the most as the waves began garnering its power. They may have been on the shore, but it looks as if that night—to stay where the see lies wasn’t a good idea in fact. How can he think it wasn’t? The woman whom they abducted... He didn’t know. It happened so fast. The next moment when his eyes fluttered open, he could see her hovering atop Jerome who was lying—he was lying on his side where his tongue was lolled out from his mouth, and his eyes we
SAVING SEIYA FROM THE GARCIA CHAPTER 89 [The danger actually never left, it has always been there far itched…] She haven’t had no idea where she was, nor why does she could smell saltwater, and feel the cold breeze that was licking through her expose arms. It was so cold that she couldn’t help, but moan as she curled up in a ball. Moaning, and groaning though no words would come slipping out from her lips. Sealed shuts as it may, Seiya knew that she was conscious, but there’s something that seems to be dragging her eyelids for her to fall back on sleep. Those dreams which seems too tempting, and unreal. “M—ama…” Seiya uttered into a lowest tone she could mustered ahead. Miserable gaze, fluttering eyes as the delusions seems to put her in deceit. She could definitely see her mother, outstretching her hand as she have the same smile acros
MISTAKES: WRONG PERSON CHAPTER 88[And there are mistakes adherently made that drive one person on a brink…] Seiya was lost. For no apparent reason she was reminded of that woman whom she run across with the other night before. It was odd, when she haven’t had any connections with her. It was just a casual evening wasn’t it, or so she thought. Unbeknownst to Seiya, fate had work its way only for them to cross their path as two strangers who are struggling to life. One soughing after towards the lost blood she seek that she had not long seen before, while the other was dealing with a broken heart to where two people was trying to crumble into ruins the walls she was trying to rebuilt again. She sigh. Perhaps, she was reminiscing the events, because she was lonely. Living alone utterly on a solitude that was feeding off from her. On her arrival, it wasn’t what Seiya was expectin
PUZZLED PIECESCHAPTER 87 [And soon enough not all secrets could be hidden, the truth will always come out…]Truth to be told, Rio isn’t joking. Earlier that morning, while he was still sobering up from sleep, Ruscov received a call. A dead was found again, and same with the others, he was faceless, mutilated until they couldn’t recognize him anymore. It was as if whoever had done that, he seems mad, angry for whatever reason they couldn’t point out yet. The sight made the others throw up, and vomit, unlike Ruscov who has his eyes trained, remembering every detail. The corpses, which fueled the loathing inside of him. His hate brimming, because he wanted to keep the grudge so badly because Ruscov wanted to plunge it all out towards the perpetrator who is causing the death in Belize. The justice to which had never been yet served.“Sir, we had confirmed the identity of the victim.” Th
JED’S DEATH TO WHOM SHE ENVISONEDCHAPTER 86 [ Life passed by in a row without anybody noticing that it was…]Had you wished to never had been involve onto something, whereas you wouldn’t be able to turn your head away from? Because that is what Jed felt as of the moment, whereas blood smeared his vision. Bleeding nonstop from the wounds he was trying to hold, but he couldn’t. A white hot seared, the pain sting, sin spite of the queries he has been hold from. To withstand against something he couldn’t adherently understand.The night stretched far. The clouds hovered, shielding the light he yearn as he run. His car discarded, when all took place without him being aware—totally oblivious and endangered as the edges of that knife that was supposedly plunged on his neck, but the person missed. It was the passenger, who suddenly turned his attention to Jed, and on his eyes, he suddenly s
