Today, one of my friends was murdered by that serial killer....once again. Yes, this is not the first time, that serial killer has already killed one of my friends before and now......the other one. He/she has stabbed both of them to death.
We were four friends in total and now...... only two of them are left. Rhea and Anne are the names of my those friends who are not with us any more and, Juan and I, Ira are the ones who are still alive. We miss our late friends and are sad for their families too but also, are scared for our own lives. But, somehow, I don't feel that, I will die......so soon...
We still don't know, why the killer is killing only those people who are from our friend-circle. But, both the times, when the killer killed them, a note was always found in which this was written, "Please, find me. I can't stop myself from doing it.", doesn't this make it clear that he/she never wanted to do it on purpose........Our parents are also very worried and scared for us. They have appointed some detectives and also have reported to the police for our safety. But, I don't think the hired police men are serious about this case....
........."Ira, please. Don't go anywhere. It's only been two days since Anne was mur---murdered. Don't you feel any danger to your life. You should only stay at home"!!!, My mother said to me. But, I just ignored her words, grabbed my backpack and left for college. I felt like I had some important work to do, that I can not leave for some other day.
When I reached college, I was waiting for Juan but he didn't come. So, I messaged him, "Why didn't you come to college"? and went inside the class. When I was walking towards my seat, I was feeling all the stares that my classmates were giving me. But, I was just trying to ignore them all.
I sat down on my seat and felt their gazes were still on me, they had that weird look on their faces trying to read my every move.
I took out a random book from my bag and stared at it but I was not focused, just thinking about my late friends the whole time.
Five minutes have been already passed now, And I was still staring at the same page. Not realizing, my eyes were already filled with tears and I was trying my best not to let them come out as I was sure that my classmates were still staring at me and I didn't want their sympathy.
Suddenly, I felt like my phone vibrated inside my trousers' pocket. First, I wiped my tears by my sleeves cuff. Then, I took my phone out. It was Juan's message saying, "Are you out of your mind!!?! Our life is in danger and you are asking me this stupid question. Now, don't tell me that you are in college right now"??! To that, I just replied him with "Yes, I am"! He started typing something right away but I ignored it and switched my phone off, got up from my seat and went out of the class without saying anything. I know, my classmates were confused by my sudden move because the class didn't even start yet and I was leaving already.
I left the college and went straight..........to Juan's house.
When I reached his house. I stood in front of the main entrance. I took a deep breath and rang the bell. His mother opened the door for me. Juan once told me about his mother, that now a days she doesn't trust anyone and thinks thrice before making anyone enter the house. But, today, when she saw me standing on the doorway, she opened the door without thinking even once and welcomed me with a warm smile and with a never ending trust, she hugged me. I hugged her back but.....without any expression on my face.......
She took me inside, offered me a glass of water. I accepted the water but didn't drink it and asked her where Juan was. She told me he is in his room's bathroom. She said that I can go to his room and wait there....
So, I went to his room and waited there. It felt like my mind was not working properly, my eyes were only looking at the door of the bathroom......waiting for Juan to come out. It was already ten minutes over now and I was still waiting for him, And my eyes still stuck on the bathroom door.
........Juan's mother came in to ask if we needed anything but saw only me there. She asked me that, didn't I knock the bathroom door and tell Juan that I was there, I said, "No, I--I didn't"!!.......To that, she just giggled at me and made me sit down on the couch and then she told Juan that I was there, waiting for him to come out. And Juan replied, "OK. Um Ira, wait for me. I'll be there in a-----in a few minutes"!! But I didn't say anything......
Now, I was standing by the window and looking out at a tree where a bird was feeding it's nestlings. Looking at it, I was feeling something weird inside of me, I didn't know what it exactly was but it was....... very strong.
As I was looking outside, I heard the bathroom door creak open. I turned around and saw, Juan was standing in front of me all sweaty and he was holding a......... large-sized, brown-coloured dagger in his hand.
I looked at him still being expressionless, not feeling any fear I started walking towards him. I was about to say something. But, suddenly, I felt an extremely sour and sharp pain going right inside my stomach. Juan.......has just stabbed me. I looked down. There was blood coming out of my stomach on a large amount, there was blood on Juan's hand, there was blood..... everywhere. Blood drops were falling down on the floor. I...... was in pain. Juan was crying but I just smiled at him.
He said to me, "I knew it----it was you right from the start. It was you, right. Tell me that----that it was you"?! ......He was trying his best to make me repeat his words........
As I opened my mouth to say something, blood started coming out of my mouth. Juan got scared and took the dagger out from my stomach. As he took the dagger out, a large quantity of blood came out from there as well.
Now, Juan was breathing heavily. I fell down and signed him to come to me. He came down to me hesitantly. Then, my gaze went to his shirt's pocket, there, he had put a recorder to record what I say. I got closer to his ear and slowly said, "Juan, I---I know that-----that----handwriting is yours"! and smirked at him.......
The last thing I remember before closing my eyes forever, was Juan being a crying mess, and he continuingly saying the same word, "NO... N---NOOOOO. NOOOOOOOOOO"!!!!!!!!! And then, I closed my eyes accepting the fact that 'I was dying....... so soon'......
