Psycho killer

Part I

It was late midnight. The area was covered in darkness with pin drop silence all around. Everyone was enjoying their sweet dreams and were sleeping in their house, Mrs. Lily was also one of them. She was sleeping in her bedroom alone as her husband was gone on an office trip. The room was dark and silent when someone slowly opened the door, making a creep sound and peek inside, standing there he glazed on the lily sleeping soundly. With the cat's feet he stepped inside, in the darkness of the room, he felt as the part of the darkness but his male figure could be seen as a shadow. He slowly stepped towards lily and gradually moved his hands to her, who was sleeping in her sweet dreams without knowing what was actually gonna happen to her....

Part II

As the day breaks the sound of murmuring spread around the area. It was now quite common to hear such noises early in the morning, because it's been half a month since people started disappearing suddenly. At first cops feel it is some normal kidnapping and investigate it but during their 3 days of investigation when 2 more people disappear mysterious they become more confused. It was found that people were disappearing at night so they increased their patrol at night, and effectively prevented further disappearing but after 3 days of peace again a lady disappeared and after every 3 or 4 days someone disappeared. All the people in the town were afraid of the incidents. The cops were trying to figure out some clue or reason for it but couldn't, they were trying their best to solve the case themselves until a dead body of a missing lady was found on a random street. Cops Investigate about the dead body and found she was the first one who disappeared and now was found after half a month in quite unusual representation, she was wearing a white dress filled with blood that floats from her own neck with perfect makeup. A thorough investigation shows that she was dead by the excessive bleeding for her neck leading her to death.

The case has become more and more confusing, after every 3rd or 4th day someone disappeared and someone's body was found on a random street, in the same white blood dress and fine finished makeup. The cops felt unable to solve it so they decided to contact a detective to solve this mysterious case.

Part III

Harper is at the crime scene, he just landed today and as he reached the station he found out about the dead body found today and decided to visit the area with cops first, he didn't want to waste his time.

Harper was a well known detective, who was famous for his intelligence to solve those cases which nobody could. He also had his own force to help him with information gathering, and because of his rapid speed of solving cases, he was given a nick name of "dark shadow", the one who could solve any sort of mystery or cases.

Yet he was specially requested from the higher authorities to help the cops to solve the case, so he travels here to do so.

As they reached the crime scene they saw the same thing which they were seeing for a while, the same white dress filled with blood and fine makeup, with the same method of death. Harper searches the crime scene with the cops. Same as cops stated no clue was found at the scene and nothing from her house. Harper returns with the cops to further investigation and to properly read the file as he didn't have much information about the case he only knows a bit about it which he was told verbally.

After reading the file his many perceptions about the case are clear and he approaches the cops to take a look of all the bodies found until now. The cops agree. He examined all the bodies for a while, now his doubts were also clear. He made his own report, trying to connect the dots.

Part IV

Harper is sitting in his room and papers are spread around him. After analysing everything he reached the conclusion that the common things between all the cases are that all are female, after dead found in a random street with white dress filled with their own blood, fine finished makeup and the same method of murdering, but the thing pining him was that the method of makeup was of old fashion, almost 10 years old, in which all the victims were found and the most shocking report he got is that the red bloody lipstick used in their makeup was not actually any lipstick shade but was real blood and the own blood of the victims. It is a main clue that Harper feels useful and decided to start his investigation based on this point.

Part V

All the girls were tied on the chairs with ropes in a row and one of them is in front of the rest facing them all, dressed in white dress. They were tied harshly making their skin cry, they couldn't move and are struggling at their places. Their mouths were only left giving them space to speak. They were crying while struggling to escape when someone entered the room, a man, almost 50 to 55 years of age with a creepy smile on his face. He made a round around all of them and stood beside the white dress girl. The man grabs something from the side, it was a makeup brush and spoke to all "today I'm gonna teach you my legendary makeup and expect yourself to be lucky for learning from me, the greatest artist of the century" He laughed loudly, scaring all the girls sitting at front and the one in white dress understand that it means today is her last day, she start struggling even harder but the man suddenly injected something in her hand and gradually she couldn't feel her body, she could only think, see but couldn't move her self anymore. All the remaining girls start crying because they know what's gonna happen next it's not the first time for them to see this, it's been a while for them facing this and every 3rd day they had to face the same and one of them is chosen by the man for sacrifice.

Part VI

Harper felt that there was something stuck in his mind which he couldn't name clearly but feels that to be something important. Yet he is driving to his home when suddenly a click pops up in his mind, he remembers the missing point he was struggling with. After investigating for the past 2 days he was feeling something familiar to this he heard before but couldn't retrieve that but suddenly everything became clear. He remembers a person who could be connected with the case. He eventually raced the speed to reach fast and at first as he reached he searched for the person he thinks could be involved in it and alas! it was exactly as he predicted.

Part VII

Walter was the famous make-up artist of his time almost 10 to 15 years ago. He was famous all around the world for his fine makeup. He enjoyed his title for almost 5 years, for more fame he innovated many styles in his makeup but suddenly his unique blood red lip colour grabbed a hype, making him more famous. Everyone asks about his new shade but he never tells anyone, saying it was a secret. His lip shade was on the roof until the secret behind the colour was revealed by one of his clients, who accidentally saw how the lip colour was obtained. She circulates the secret all over the social media and after knowing that people start hating him. He tried his best explaining them all but no one understood him and soon he was banned to use that but he didn't agree with that so his license was rejected and in days he became nobody and gradually everyone forgot about him. Nobody remembers that anyone like him exists, is alive or already dead. All the glory he acquired suddenly vanished making him depressed and staying alone, cutting all the ties from the world.

Part VIII

After his search he found he was right about what he thinks. It was really Walter, a famous make-up artist who was in his hype years ago but at his peak, suddenly his all achievement, the love he possessed from Everyone vanished after the reveal of the secret behind his lipstick. His license was cancelled and his fall now is in nobody's mind.

Harper was busy reading the article when suddenly the door bells rang He took a deep breath and left his  phone on the couch, screen facing upwards on which the headline of the article can be clearly seen as "USING REAL BLOOD FOR LIP SHADE!!'

Part IX

Now he is thinking about the possibility of how to capture him. After thinking for a while an idea arises in his mind he remembers about the points he found about Walters pattern and decided to capture him in the same way.For his plan he contacted a fellow friend for help who agreed to help and now he is waiting for the friend to come.

Part X

Harper is lying on the couch when the door bell rang. He opens the door and finds a beautiful lady standing in front of him, a smile appears on his lips and he says, "you take longer than expected". The girl also smiled and replied, "my bad" they both sat facing each other and Harper directly moved straight to the point. He explained to her the plan he prepared to capture the culprit. The girl asked,"how are you so sure that it's Walter? Maybe it could be someone else?" "I know the possibility about that as well but whoever it is they are following his pattern so they must be someone close to him, but I'm sure that it's probably him because the makeup he used to do is exactly the same as the victims without any difference" Harper explained

"Hmm, I understand. Okay I'll help you but what will I get for this help?" She asked with a smile. " After the conclusion of the case the dinners on me" Harper replied and she nodded in agreement

Part XI

When she opens her eyes he finds herself with a heavy head and when she regains her sight she is in another room with many girls sitting scared around her, few feel emotionless and few are crying. Recalling her memory she remembers that they all are the missing girls reported from the past month.

A smile crossed her lips as their plan succeeded, she is Luna, the one harper asked for help. She immediately stood up and looked around the room she had already made sure that the tracking necklace she was wearing was with her. As she was moving around the room, all the girls were staring at her and finally one said, " There's no meaning to it, you can't escape from here."  She says and turns around with no hope in her eyes, in fact there was no hope in anyone's eyes. Luna doesn't focus on her words and continues. She knows that they all are scared to do anything.

Part XII

When she opened her eyes she found herself tied with ropes in a chair, her clothes were also changed. Last thing she remembers was that she was in the room when suddenly everyone started falling and soon after her head also felt heavy and she fell deep in the darkness of unconsciousness and now as she opens her eyes she is watching this. All the girls in front of her were scared. She looked around but there was no one except all of them but now all are tied and only her clothes were changed. Yet she is thinking about what's all this when a sound circulates around the room, someone's footsteps sound, coming from the corridor heading directly towards the room. All the girls start shivering and Luna's eyes get stuck towards the door waiting to watch who is coming towards them.

Part XIII

With a complete strategy harper breaks into the house where Luna's tracking device was indicating. The house was in a remote area where no one used to come. They all entered quietly as they were not sure about how many people were inside or in which situation they all are.

They quietly searched all the rooms but no one was found around. In a room he found Luna's clothes and the tracking device, for a moment he thought that something had happened to her and ran away but he decided to continue his search and as he continued he found some voices from the last room and all got attentive. They approached the room quietly and tried to see the situation of the room. As he sees inside he sees Walter raising a knife towards Luna's neck.

Part XIV

Walter entered the room and the girls started crying. Luna is watching him quietly. Walter laughed and said, "you're the lucky one today to be the model of the greatest artist of all time" he laughed and continued his makeup, all the makeup is done smoothly except the lipstick. Walter put back everything in his hand and turned around to grab something, all the girls close their eyes tightly and when he turned back he grabbed a knife in his hand. Luna got scared as she was not able to untie her rope as she was injected with something that prevents her from moving her body, now she is scared as she knows about how all the victims died and now he knows what is gonna happen to her next. She tried to move her body but couldn't, The knife was gradually getting close to her neck and at last she couldn't resist and closed her eyes tightly thinking that her life would end here.

Part XV

She is waiting to feel the pain struggling to death but suddenly the door opens soundly and she opens her eyes and finds Harper in front of her with others. Walter got shocked and immediately put a knife on Luna's neck trying to save himself while threatening harper to not attack him. Luna is now a big relax that harper would save her. Harper distracted Walter with his words making sure that they are not gonna attack him. In the meantime  one of the officers with him was slowly moving from Walter side, while avoiding his movements to be obvious, soon he reached behind him without letting him know. Now Walter also starts feeling that he has scared him and his grib got loose, as harper saw this he gave a signal to the officer behind Walter and he immediately grabbed Walter's hand grabbing him completely. Arthur grabs Luna who is about to fall, now she starts feeling sensation in his body as the reaction of the medicine got weakened, gradually she stood up on her feet. Walter shouted, blaming and cursing everyone. Soon all the girls are rescued.

Harper and Luna leave together as they are driving back Luna says," don't forget my dinner" and harper bursts into laughter thinking that she just escaped her death and still thinking about food.
