In trouble with the police

Twenty four hours had passed already and Lilian was supposed to be waking up from her induced coma. The corps were too impatient to wait until the next morning before they began to question her. They were already at the hospital, there was doubt about how terrified Lilian looked when she saw them approaching her room.

Suddenly, there was an unexpected power outage in the hospital and everywhere was dark, they could hardly see even with their phone torches on. The outage went on for 30 minutes with the corps trying to figure out what went wrong. Power was restored but Lilian was nowhere to be found. Immediately, they placed a call to all stations ordering for her search, the supposed doctor who attended to her wasn't even in the hospital.

The hospital staff even claimed that they didn't have such a doctor working there. The corps were more than confused as to where she had gone. A stop and search was immediately conducted on every moving vehicle in the street.

Lilians's sudden disappearance set the whole city ablaze, moving about as a normal citizen became very difficult. Everyone was suspected to be responsible, all the staff of the hospital were also investigated but not even a single clue was left behind. Lilian had made a clean escape.

Catherine's POV

"You still haven't revealed who you are to me. Who the fûck are you?" I kept shouting hoping to get a reply from anyone. I couldn't even tell if I was alone or with someone. The room was always dark, the only time some kind of light would come to the room is when they were to bring me food. I really don't think I would be able to keep up with this anymore, I let my tears flow from my eyes continuously.

"Are you calling me a coward?" I heard footsteps approach me and I could tell it was the same male voice. That voice had spoken to me so many times that it had registered in my head like a song.

"If you aren't a coward then you would let me see your face or are you scared!" I tried to sound threatening and wiped the tears from my eyes. I still sat on the bed, I refused to stand since I could only hear the voice and I could barely tell the direction the voice was coming from.

Then he burst into an hysterical laughter, a laugh that sent shivers down my spine and gave me goosebumps at once.

"You are at my mercy and you are asking me if I am scared? You are a very funny woman and why should I be scared of a weak defenseless widow?" He questioned and I could feel the sarcasm in his voice.

It felt like something was stuck in my throat and I couldn't even swallow my own saliva, why did he have to remind me of the painful truth? He just called me a widow and for a moment I felt like a huge part of me was ripped off. I had been trying my best not to think of the fact that Arthur is no more. I had been trying my best to convince myself that Arthur would come back to me one day and I would have my happy and complete family again.

"Why did you kill Arthur? What did he ever do to you? Why didn't you kill me as well? Instead of punishing me this way" I broke down completely.

"And why should I answer you? I owe you nothing you know. But since you were so nice while asking, I guess I could tell you if you would cry some more for me. I just love the sound of your cries. It's like music to my ear" the voice was gentle and happy. I don't know how someone could be so heartless as to be happy while he killed innocent people.

"It is very clear to me that you are not human, you are a monster. You killed so many innocent people that day, I couldn't even count the number of my workers that died because of you" I said in between my sobs.

"If only you knew that I am far worse than a monster and technically I didn't kill your workers, I only sent people to kill your daughter but you and your husband were trying to be smart so I had to go for plan B which was to kill your husband and keep you alive. Anyways since you have cried some more I will tell you why I have kept you alive" the voice took a deep breath and then breathed out in a very relieved manner.

"See the thing is, you are my greatest weapon right now. Your husband was always a threat to me and when you gave birth to that daughter of yours, he became a bigger threat. Should I tell you a secret?" He asked me and I could feel him coming closer to me, he squeezed my face with three of his fingers.

"I am responsible for all your abortions, I never wanted you and that silly husband of yours to ever bear a child but what can I say? You guys are just too stubborn. You hid your pregnancy from the whole world and I could only find out about your kids when you had given birth. Do you want to know more?"

"What else have you done to destroy my happy life you monster?" I shouted at him and forcefully pushed his hand away from my aching face but that didn't seem to upset him even in the slightest, he began his weird and frightening laughter once again.

"This is what I have wanted for a very long time, to see you in so much pain. I have always wanted to see you this helpless. You know what? although I can't see your face right now but I can assure you that you look the cutest when you are like this" he didn't even stop laughing, it was as if someone just cracked a very funny joke and it took a while for him to finally recover himself and stop his laughter.

"Now look at what you have done. You almost made me forget to tell you the other thing I did. Okay, where did I stop? Oh yes! After you gave birth, I tried to kill your kids but unfortunately I could only get rid of one of them. It was so unfair to me because I worked really hard but I still didn't succeed" This time the tone of his voice changed, it became sad.

"But there is really no need to worry, I am sure I will think of something later in the future but for now I have to go and make plans for your darling Mia" he gave out a scary chuckle.

"Wait! Where is my Mia? What have you done to her?" I found myself asking and standing up from the bed, trying to use my hands to figure out where he was.

"Oh please calm down. I don't want you to get hurt unless that would ruin my plans. I haven't done anything to your sweet little girl at least not yet. But I promise you as soon as I am able to lay my hands on her then I will send both you and her to go and meet Arthur and your other child in heaven okay so please just relax" he scoffed.

"Stop, wait" I tried to stop him from leaving but it was too late. I could sense that I was once again alone in the dark and lonely room. What I'm I going to do? How I'm I going to leave this place?. I sat back on the bed and buried my face in my palms. He was right, I was helpless and I couldn't do anything but sob.

At a random highway in magic city

"Please step out of the car ma'am" a police officer kindly asked a lady who had her nose mask on.

"But why? I wasn't speeding , was I?" The lady tried to debate but the officer didn't want to have any of that.

"No you weren't, we are conducting a search so kindly step out or I would be forced to use more drastic measures" the enraged officer tried to keep calm.

"Okay fine" a frustrated lady with dark hair hurriedly got out of the car.

"Take off your mask" the officer ordered and she did just that. She took the mask off and the officer checked the boot and inspected the car. He soon let her go.

The lady got into her car with a big smirk on her face.

"These people are nothing but a bunch of fools. I cannot believe it was that easy '' she thought to herself before driving off from the place almost immediately.

The officer then picked up a bracelet, the bracelet looked very familiar. He began to think of where he had seen such a bracelet before.

"Oh no! We have to pursue that lady right now" the officer got into the police van and informed his colleagues.

"But why?" One of them asked, looking very confused.

"Because she is Miss Lilian. Look at this bracelet, I saw this on her wrist right before she passed out" the officer started the engine of the vehicle.

"But you saw her face and she didn't look anything like Miss Lilian. It's just a bracelet and many people can have such a bracelet made if they wanted, you can't also buy one yourself if you wanted, so why the whole drama" his colleagues began to doubt his actions.

"We are going in pursuit of that lady whether you guys like it or not. So buckle up, it's not going to be easy" with that he sped off.
