Thou Shalt Not Kill (3) - Thou Shalt Not Covet  by rocklee11416

      Methra stared eagerly as Adara went for the car keys and then threw the office door open.

"Adara where are you going, if it isn't an earthquake?"

 "It doesn't concern you Methra, just finish up the days work and then go home" were the last words Adara said to Methra before she left. Methra looked out the window anxiously awaiting the moment when Adara would be comepletely out of sight.

Once Adara turned the corner Methra let out a hysterical laugh, falling to the floor, maniacally spewing out spit. Adara was going to her precious daughter's school in order to save her from the big bad killer, but she didn't know that both would be dead soon. they would meet their deaths graciously by the Bible. The killer was just a pawn surrounded by hundreds of the same kind and she was the queen, she knew all that occured, she was in control. Or at least she thought.

"Soon I'll be free of her hogging up all of the attention with her "sixth sense", it will be just me in this big office" Methra thought to herself before letting out another hysterical laugh.

     ***********************************************

            Death was the only word I could think of as I drove down the road trying to go as fast as I could. Death had occured in my dreams and now it had slowly but surely crept it's way up in to reality. I started to think deeply on Paige's predicament. Not only was she in the middle of some women problems, she was also basically standing next to a serial killer with a knife in his/her hand.

     Then my thoughts flashed on to the tons of serial killer books I had read, and realized that each and every time the killer had his or her own way of killing the victims. I shuddered as I imagined Paige being cut up in all different ways at that very moment. I sped the car now, not only running away from my thoughts but also catching up to them. Soon I would have the killer in the hands of the police I thought.

      ***********************************************

        The man stood by the road waiting for his special guest to arrive. At the moment there wasn't much that he would be able to do, but he could watch. He could watch his prey, the only ones that had the gifts that had proven so difficult for him in the past. He would observe and then he would attack, both the mother and daughter would be dead by the hands of God very, very soon. 

         *********************************

          I entered the highschool named Stuyvasent I began striding as quickly as I could and headed for the main office. As soon as I entered I asked the secretary

"Wheres Paige" before she could even whisper how delighted she was to see me.

"Right down the hallway m'm, in the nurses office" the secretary told me seeming a angry. 

"Hold on I'll send one of the students down to get her"

After a few minutes of waiting Paige entered the office, running straight for me. We embraced for several seconds and then we left the building. I almost pushed her in to the car in my haste to get far away from the highschool before whomever it had been on the phone changed their mind and decided to take Paige down right now. 

A few blocks down I let out a sigh of relief as Paige was safe and sound. Perhaps the person that had phoned me just made a wrong call I thought as I started laughing. I turned to Paige and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.

Yet something wasn't right. Paige hadn't said a word since we had left the highschool.

"Paige honey, are you alright are those problems you had that bad?"

"Um....mom I lied about those problems. I don't know if you'll think I'm crazy when I tell you this but heregoes. I wanted to leave school cause I had a feeling, just a feeling that something bad was going to happen. I don't know what it was but something there was creeping me out, like someone was staring at my back the whole time watching my moves. It felt like that the whole day...I'm sorry for...lying"

I was silent from there on out. I just couldn't get my mind wrapped around it. Did Paige have the gift? Or was this just something normal? And if the killer had been there why had gone through all the trouble of scaring me half to death when nothing occured? What was going on here? Were we all in so much deeper in to this mess than I could have ever imagined? I looked into Paiges eyes which were filled with such innocence that I almost broke down crying right there. What if something had happened to her I kept thinking.

As soon as we got home I sent her straight to her room regardless of her protests about knowing what was bothering me. I knew that I would spend this whole day and night pondering our predicament, and of course Franco wouldn't be here.

     ********************************************

        In the morning I felt sleepier then ever as my fear had kept me up all night. What if the killer came in at night? I quickly flipped on the T.V. in order to now avoid thinking of those things. Yet what I saw on the screen petrified me. On the screen for the six o'clock news the building that I went to everyday was on the screen.

"Today we observe another killing of what we believe to be at the moment a string of murders. The first murder was that of Nona Flores, where a message saying Thou Shalt not bear false witness was found. Today another murder of one of this cities most renowned offices took place. Today Mertha Stuart was murdered the secretary of one of the most renowned pychiatrists Adara Lockhart in the early morning. Enscribed across her body  were the words Thou Shall Not Covet...."

I shuddered at this now thinking that something had to be done. Somewhere out there this killer was after me or at least those around me. I needed to get back at the killer. I needed to beat this monster. 

"We are so sorry for this death, arent we Harry? Yes we are, well on later news why diet's don't work....."
