Dead?

Beryl hurled her clothes into a small bag. Her both cheek was swollen with a black eye. Whimpering as she tucked them in the bag.
She was done with Roy and never coming back or set her eyes on him again.
Then she had a light chuckle.
Turning, she saw Roy watching her while he leaned on the door with his hands crossed.
"Where are you off to babe"
He smirked.


Dixon came down from his car, and walked to the investigating department. His move was slow, like he was been forced. His head was down, and he keep dragging his feet on the ground. Till he got to Detective Sean’s desk. He slumped in the seat in front of him. And sighed.
“What’s wrong with you?”
“Can’t say.”
“Another heart break?”
His exhaled.

“Well, this isn’t a time for this. Where were you last night?”
“Where else would I be if not stuck in my bed.”
He brought out a picture and dropped it in front of Dixon.
“This lady, Elmer, called you last night. You were on her list of the last person she contacted.”
“I didn’t receive her call, cause I wasn’t with my phone and neither was I in the mood to talk to anyone.”
“She sent a message to you.”
“Really?.”

He brought out his phone from his pocket.
“Listen to this...” he took out a phone which perhaps was Elmer.
“Hey, Dixon, I know you didn’t do it, you didn’t kill jasmine, the person who did has been stalking me, because I know the truth, I happened to see him that night on my way home. This was wanted I wanted to tell you. He’s been on my neck all this years but ain’t scared anymore. I’m releasing an article able it. There was a scar on his....” the voice became faint, like she was struggling with something
“He’s here....” and they heard a screamed.
“Did she release the article?” Dixon asked.
“She did, and this are about to go rough, she’d released that article few minutes before she called you.”
“And where’s she?”
“Dead.”

Dixon held his head. His eyes were blurry.
“This is the same man, who framed Eamon for murder, he had a scar on his both cheeks. He’s the real beast here!” He yelled.
“And now he took her life! Because she saw him, he framed me too, I spent five damn years in prison for a crime I don’t know about. He destroyed my life and he’s doing same to others. That same man is out there! Nothing has been done. No trace. No ID. No DNA. Nothing!”
“Like You did anything when they hurl you in prison. You ain’t different from them.” The voice came from the pen in Detective Sean shirt.
“Shut up!” Dixon yelled.

Earning a look from everyone in the office.
“Calm down Dixon. Now we know who is behind all this, we just had to put more effort.”
“For how long? It’s has past a decade since you guys had began searching for him! Yet nothing! Eamon is still suffering in prison, nothing is done.”
“You didn’t do anything either Dixon when jasmine died. You left everything for the cops, you’re to blame as well.”
“Shut up! I don’t want to hear anymore word from you?”
Detective Sean shake his head and touched Dixon shoulders. Dixon used the opportunity to take the pen away from his pocket and flung them aside.
“Are you okay?”
“I’m fine.”

“Sure you don’t need to see doctor.”
“I said I’m fine.”
He pushed the chair backwards and stood up.
“We’ll get to the bottom of this, I know it will take a while.”
“You’re always at the bottom of things.” He stepped out of the chair.
“Dixon..I know how you feel, I’m deeply sorry.”
“You have no idea how I feel.” He point his index finger at him.
“Don’t even say it.” The voice came again. He just need to get out of here.
“Detective Sean, there’s nothing there, we’ve searched around, not a trace of hair anywhere.” A detective said.
Dixon halted in his track. The hair. Could it be the one he took. That’s why they hadn’t seen it.
“Seems someone got there before us.”
Dixon didn’t look at him, cause he could feel Detective Sean eyes on him.
He walked out.

And heard Detective Sean whispered.
“Follow him.”
He was a suspect for helping the demon girl, his alien.
“Just take a sip, it’s water and it’s good. Just a sip.” Dr Green urges. Maeve pouted. Shaking her head.
“I need blood.”
“Do you want to be a vampire, I can make you one.” He snarled, showing her his teeth. Maeve laughed.
“What’s a vampire?”
“They fade at day and active at night. Sucking blood from people. And they can turn you to be one of them as well.”
“I want to be one.” She joked.
“The you’ll never get to see light again?”
“Why?”

“Because it’s kills them, that’s one of their weakness. Do you still want to be one.”
“I’ll think about it.”
Dr. Green laughed.
“See, two days and you hadn’t killed anyone, two days and you lived like human.”
“Because I’ve accepted that I’m a demon and I can control myself. But that doesn’t mean I won’t have the urge to kill, I’ll still kill but not as much as it was before.”
Dr. Green clapped.
“You’re doing great. Now a sip.” She took a sip from the water.
“Very good.” He dropped the cup. “You don’t need drugs or injections to stay alive. All you need is yourself.”
“I don’t need Dixon do I?”

“More than ever. Because he’ll help you. Without you knowing, he’ll bring back your humanity. You miss him don’t you?”
She nodded.
“Ready to go back now?”
“Until I know why my hair is pulling off. How do you explain that? Am not dying am I?”
Dr. Green didn’t say a word. He hesitated before looking up to her curious eyes.
“Yes. You’re dying. Slowly.”
It felt like her world shatters. Immediately feeling so weak. She was expecting it but she hadn’t thought it would hurt this much.
“Are you ready for the full eclipse? For a change?”
“Yes.”
“Which movie would you like to watch?” He asked, changing the channel of the Tv. He could tell she was ready now, ready to say beside Dixon and not be a threat. To him or anyone.
