Chapter 3 - The Murderer

Smile shook as soon as he heard those words,

The girl looking at Elena started to tear up,

Smile turned at Elena, 'Please let her live'

Elena didn't turn she remained motionless,

Smile took it as a yes and he went to the girl thinking, 'She might be a psycho, but she's still a human with heart'

He started to pat on the girl's head who was sobbing, "Alright you're safe now, please go home"

The girl replied, "I.. I'm..Scared"

Just like that a silent firing sound was heard, the girl fell backwards.

Smile eyes widened, he started to throw up, he had the little girl's blood on his hands,

The girl he was taking care of was now lying motionlessly infront of him, blood dripping out of her forehead.

Later he was hit with a gun to his head, which was really painful but he didn't fall unconscious, he fell down and lied on his back.

He felt a sharp object on his stomach, Elena was wearing a short heel, and had now pierced his abdomen, but she hadn't hit his vital spots, blood was flowing out of it. Smile was coughing blood.

Elena started to cry loudly with a weird expression, "Why aren't you following my orders, I will have to clean up the mess properly since I've used a gun"

Smile was let go, it was already late at night, he was holding a napkin on his stomach, he reached home. The house had a gloomy feeling, nobody was there to welcome him.

His parents, both of them were in jail, a magazine was sitting on table with dust and it's highlighted line was, 'Cold blooded serial killer couple caught'

Smile went to the bathroom, to disinfect his wound and bandage it,

After that he directly went to his bed, and lied on it,

He didn't have dinner because he has seen too much today.

Who is Elena?, why did she have gun, how does she know my past.

His head was filled with the horrors of blood from the little girl, he mourned lying down.

He was strangely calm about his situation, perhaps he has inherited something like that from his parents.

The sun had rose, Smile instinctively woke up at the right time, finished his routine of getting ready, he opened his fridge there was a cup of ramen, he poured hot water and devoured the ramen.

He went on his way to school, he met Jake and Quentin, but he ofcourse couldn't tell them what hard happened to him last night.

He entered his classroom sat on his deck, and looked at Elena who was talking with her friends with a smile on her face, she looked like an angel who was brought down from heavens.

But Smile saw last night, how was the fallen angel truly was.

Mr Kaden entered the class and greeted them, "Alright students let's begin the first class"

All students became attentive,

Smile was a little scared,

Mr Kaden announced, "The first test is both of you must remember yesterday's topic of human anatomy and present a seminar after lunch break"

They had to shift their seats, beside their partner, surprisingly Elena was the one who made the right move.

She gave a bright smile and reached out her hands to give a handshake,

"Hey Smile, let's work well today"

If was like an angel extending her help to a lonely scum,

Smile silently handshaked her.

He couldn't help but compare the two faces of Elena he has seen.

She came really close to him, and told was telling about the things she remembered,

Smile could smell some burning between his classmates.

It was quite expected of Elena as she recited the whole thing all by herself, Smile just discussed about a small part which he was gonna explain.

It was time for lunch, Jake and Quentin, were holding their lunches looking in shock, as Smile was sitting next Elena or rather the reverse.

Smile wanted to send them away because he didn't want them to get in contact with Elena, but she made a surprising move by calling out to them, "Hey there you guys are friend of Smile right, come sit with us"

It was quite awkward but Quentin and Jake got quite comfortable now, all 3 introduced themselves.

They were quite interested to know about Elena.

Soon she spoke, "You guys are so sweet, mind if I join your friend group"

Quentin and Jake happily accepted her as if they've known her for a long time.

The lunch period ended, the ways were parted.

It was time for their seminar, Quentin had done well with Jane, as for them Elena carried her partner and executed the seminar flawlessly.

It was time to go home,

He met Jake and Quentin and parted as their paths diversed.

His cellphone blinked once, it was a message.

*Meet me at the park*

Smile could've guessed who that person was.

He went to the park and waited for the person for some time, no one seemed to be their.

Later he was hit with a very heavy material with brute force behind his head, making him fall unconscious.

Everything turned black, but his eyes were open.

He was standing inside a house with no lights,

There was a faint smell of blood.

Someone was crying upstairs, it was a women.

Smile instinctively went upstairs as if he had no control on his moments.

The whole floor was bloodied. He opened the door the sound was coming from,

He saw something truly horrifying....
