The Monseau Killer
A woman silently sat quietly in her seat as she watched the clouds go by and listened to the turbulent and violent winds of nature as they brushed against the windows and as they soared across the dark skies. She silently turned her head away from the windows as rain started pouring upon the airplane and oddly enough, she felt a little comfort from it.
The lady silently sighed as she leaned her head back on her seat and closed her eyes as she just listened in as the rain smacked against the airplane whilst babies were crying in the background. She smiled as she heard muffled sounds of music, and airplane chatter amongst the flight attendants near the front of the airplane.
She zoned out, and nearly fell asleep before a quick and loud buzz erupted out of nowhere from the pockets of her jeans as she quickly fumbled to grab her phone as she apologized to those around her and turned her phone down as she saw people glaring at her because it’d woken up some children who were now loud and obnoxious,
She silently ignored the glares as she looked at the text from one of her friends back in the United States.
[ Are you there yet Emilia? And why are you going all the way to England again?] - Jessica
Emilia tilted her head sideways a little annoyed as she brushed her hair out of the way as she texted back,
[ Because Jessica, I've got to find my sister, the police have found no clues, and since my sister's last location was England its way out of their Jurisdiction so I've got to look on my own. This might be my last time texting you considering I’m going all the way to England.] – Emilia
Emilia scrolled down as she looked at her many notifications, one of which coming from her boss at work wondering where she'd gone and what she's doing. She pondered on the text message for a couple of minutes before sliding away effectively throwing that message in the trash, if she wanted to find her sister, she had to go ghost for a while.
She didn't receive any more messages from Jessica or from anyone else in that matter, so she quietly put her phone away and gently closed her eyes as she zoned out and went to sleep,
--
Time had passed, she woke up from her trip and she enlisted into a hotel that her sister was last seen at.
--
Emilia was currently outside of “The Monseau Hotel”, the last location that her sister was ever seen, and even that information was hard to come by and accumulate. What she was curious about was why would her sister even come here? This place rarely has anyone come by and rent out a room, it’s just… creepy. She heard cawing as she looked up and saw three crows staring down at her before they flew away, the skies were dark, and she felt a little bit of water hit her head before she looked up and it started raining heavily.
She hesitatingly but quickly grabbed the door handle as she opened it and rushed in with her luggage banging against the door a little and when she got in… she paused as she absorbed the cold and dark atmosphere. She just… felt wrong even being in here. She then spoke up kind of awkwardly with her wet hair getting in the way, “Hey there Mr. Receptionist how are you doing today” she said as she slightly chuckled as she moved some hair out of her face.
“Hello, their customer” a tall brunette guy with a scruffy beard said as he looked at her with slight recognition in his eyes,
There was just an awkward silence as she looked at him in awe… ‘Were hotel receptionists always this hot?’ she internally thought in her head as she quickly snapped out of it, “Uh yea...” she snapped her fingers to recollect her thoughts before her eyes brightened, “How much does it cost to get a room here?” she said as she finally walked up to the receptionist’s desk with her luggage scraping across the floor as the man internally winced at the sound.
The man who was leaning back in his chair a little bit started tilting back and forth a little bit as he looked at her with a smile as flipped a coin a couple times and then he stopped and leaned forward and he looked her in her eyes as he shrugged, “It really depends on how long you plan to stay”.
She nodded, she then put $200 on the desk and moved it a little closer to him as he just stared at her and chuckled a little in amusement, “I haven’t said the price yet?” he said as his eyes averted from her to his computer before he quickly looked back up to her,
“How much does it cost for one month?” she asked frowning a little bit, the man rose his brow just pointed somewhere, and she looked and saw a list of prices and looked at the price for a month and saw it was only 50$. She was just shocked internally on how low the price was… was this because no one ever shows up here? Why wouldn’t people come here?
The man was about to grab the money in a jokingly manner before she quickly snatched it away and the man put his hands up as if he was surrendering as he smiled and watched as she reached into her purse to bring out a $50 bill and placed it back on the desk, “Is this enough?” and the man looked at her with a blank face, “What do you think?” he replied with a grin.
She was about to walk away before he slammed something on the desk and she turned around, “Where are you going, you don’t know what room you’re going to be in, even if you did you don’t have a key” he said with confusion plastered all over his face and she smacked her face in embarrassment as she left her luggage there and walked back over to the desk and grabbed the key with the room number 14.
She looked at him with a questioning gaze, the man nodded in realization as if knowing what she was thinking about, “It’s on the third floor,” and she looked at him with a suspicious gaze, “Is there a certain reason you’re putting me on the third floor rather than the first? - “she then looked at his name tag, “-Achlys?”.
He looked at her as his eyebrow twitched before he just shrugged as he leaned back again, “If you want to go on the first two floors with bad pipes and bad mattresses then go right ahead, feel free to lay on one of those beds and collapse through the bed” he said as he chuckled and she looked at him for a few seconds,
“And why are they not repaired yet?” she asked and he looked at her like she was stupid… he then motioned his hands in an exaggerating matter around the room, “Does it look like people have been renting rooms here in a while?” and she still looked confused… he sighed, “We don’t have enough income to pay for all of the damage and repairs that-“ he winced, “-past customers have done to the rooms”.
She nodded as she internally took note of his expressions, she quietly grabbed her luggage as she went into the elevator and clicked the button that had floor number 3 listed on it as she looked at floors 1 and 2. She slowly stepped back against the wall as she leaned against it with her luggage in-hand and just thought as the elevator was bumping a little,
Knowing that this was the last place her sister had been and had apparently disappeared from, she’s extremely cautious and wary of everything here, including the receptionist. There’s got to be a reason that everyone avoids this hotel… especially about the 1st and 2nd floor… she had noticed how he flinched when he talked about past customers,
--
As Emilia entered the elevator Achlys stared at the doors as they had closed and his expression went from a smile and a grin to a cold and icy expression, he leaned back in his seat as he grabbed his signature coin with a reaper on it and started spinning it around his fingers as he muttered to himself since he knew no one else was around,
“She’s here again it seems, why does this keep happening” he closed his eyes in silent anger, he then stopped spinning the token in his fingers as he had internally come to a conclusion within himself… “Once more I must do it again, just why, or is this another?” he tilted his neck towards the right a little bit, he then tapped on his computer as he switched tabs and a screen of a multitude of views inside the hotel was showcased… he had cameras everywhere.
He watched as she exited the elevator door with a grin… “And once more… we begin anew… let the hunt begin” he said as he looked at her with slight pity in his eyes as he got up and looked at the time, 3:45… he went into the elevator and stepped in. He clicked the second-floor button and leaned against the wall and closed his eyes as it went down.
*Ding*
The doors opened as it revealed a large dark room with dismembered body parts on tables, meat hanging off chains, and living people inside the cages screaming and pleading for help.
He stared at the people before walking past them and walking over towards a closet… he took off his clothes and put on some new ones, he had pitch-black clothing surrounding his body… he then reached in and put on some black gloves.
He whistled a song aloud as he walked over to one of the tables with bloodied tools, an axe, a knife, and much…much more. He grabbed a pistol and reloaded it and cocked it back and then looked at the time… 3:50
He went over to one of the cages with humans inside of it and with no remorse shot…
*Boom, Boom, Boom*
Blood splattered across the walls as Achlys looked up as his eyes squinted a little.
___
Emilia exited the elevator door as she walked out. She looked left and right as she saw just long hallways with a bunch of doors with numbers on it and then saw emergency exits and a bunch of shelves and pictures, she’d decided that she would put her luggage away in her room and then investigate about this hotel and its “past” recipients.
She looked at the first door to the right and saw the number 6 there, she headed down that direction and eventually found her floor number… 14. She was putting the key in when she felt a boom under her feet and internally flinched as her eyes opened wide and she stepped back in fear but then realized it was the thunder outside, she tilted her head as she thought about it. She looked at the time on the clock and it was 3:50, oddly enough it was still midday she thought as she chuckled, but then she thought about the thunder.
First it was the three crows which signify an omen, then the thunder striking just as she was about to touch the door. If it’s s warning telling her to go back… it was too late because she was too far in, and nothing would stop her from finding out what happened to her sister.
She put the key in and entered as she looked around, ‘pretty basic’ she sighed as she threw her luggage on the ground and laid on the bed as she closed her eyes, ‘The best possible time is to investigate at night, it’d be stupid and impulsive to do it now while the receptionist is there, and if he is responsible for my sisters disappearance… then he’s dangerous’ she thought as she realized what type of situation that she was in. That she could’ve possibly walked into a tiger’s den, but then again… it’s all just possibilities. She heard the wind coming through something and brushed against her skin, she quickly turned around and looked at the window which looked damaged. She went over to it and tried to close it, but it always went back to its same position, so she sighed and just gave up.
She quickly got up, went through her luggage, and grabbed her computer and it’s charger and sat back down on the bed, she leaned over the edge to plug in the charger and then came back up and opened up her computer, she entered her password and was about to access the internet but realized she had no Wi-Fi, she sighed as she looked at the old phone on the wall and walked to it, she looked at the list of numbers and called the receptionist as she frowned at how the door’s hinges looked a little too loose for her own comfort, and around the edges look damaged as if the doors been slammed and banged multiple times. She frowned,
She stood there waiting tapping her foot a little annoyed until she heard a voice on the other side, “Hello?” Achlys voice sounded from the other side as he looked at her through the hidden camera in her room, he watched her every move. He looked at the time on the clock… 3:59 P.M., ‘it was almost time’ he thought as he clenched his fist making them bleed as he steeled his resolve once more.
Emilia sighed as she spoke into the phone, “Can you quite possibly tell me the Wi-Fi’s password?” she asked as the clock ticked and it was 4:00 PM and a loud sound rang out as if it was one of those old big clocks, her focus was taken away as she tried to discern where it was coming from but her thoughts were interrupted as she heard a dark chuckle on the other side as she frowned, “Ah of course… the password is… time’s up” he said as his voice sounded different and the call suddenly ended and she stood there in fear, “H-hello? Hello!?” she screamed into the phone before slamming it into the wall as it fell right back down, “Once again, another issue in this room… Jesus what’s with this room”.
She shook her head as she spoke aloud, “creepy hot receptionist check” she said as she got on her computer trying to ignore that past conversation as she researched about the Monseau Hotel’s history, she then browsed through and looked at some of the articles online before coming across one that was very disturbing… she read it aloud, “The Monseau Hotel Disappearances, and why the cops aren’t acting”. Emilia looked at the article with a raised brow and confusion as she moved the mouse over and clicked on the article, she frowned and with each and every single word she read, she felt uneasy and fear started to creep inside her, she was internally wondering why she came here by herself, and realized the significant danger that she was in. She was in a hotel… with a murderer. The article itself talked about how people came in the building and never left, how the receptionist has never left. At this point of time, she should’ve been searching for a lot of questions, but there was only one thing constantly screaming inside her mind… she was in danger. It was all starting to click now…
She got up as she went over to the door and looked closer, ‘the door… it’s been broken in and it looks like someone has tried to break out..’ she thought with fear crawling in her slowly as she looked at the dried blood in the middle of the door, as if someone was here and got the door kicked into her head, she slowly backed away over towards the window, ‘someone has tried to jump out of the window to escape’… she then looked at the phone and how it was barely working… ‘someone has tried to call the police’. Her eyes started widening as her breathing was becoming more and more heavy as she tried to calm herself down as she’d finally realized she’d stepped into a trap, this was the room where he would’ve most likely captured all of his victims, and the first and second floors were probably where he… where he kept the victims.
That banging from earlier wasn’t thunder… it was people under the ground, on the first and second floors. And now that she thought about it… that didn’t sound like thunder. She backed up against the wall as she put her hands to her head and her eyes widened and she couldn’t breathe, this was all too much for. She had to act quickly!

She quickly searched up online 911 or something at least related to it and multiple websites popped up, as she was about to click on one of the link’s… everything in the hotel shut down, the power, the Wi-Fi, everything, she was about to cry as she had audibly heard the power shutting down as if someone outside had flipped a switch.
Emilia’s eyes widened in fear as she saw nothing but pitch black, of course outside it was raining as thunder was pouring down really this time.
She then heard thumps outside and one that sounded even closer, like her door as her eyes widened in the dark looking around frantically. She got off the bed as she was feeling around and touching everything, she then felt her bag, she kept reaching around it before she felt something solid… like a shoe? She then kept on going as she then felt a leg as her eyes widened in fear, the lights started to flicker on and off as she saw Achlys smiling at her as he had on dark boots, black cargo pants, a black turtleneck, and black gloves on,
“Wh-why are you in here” she said as she got a clear view on his face as the lights kept flickering on and off and each time it went off his face got closer, before the lights finally stopped turning on, and she couldn’t feel his leg anymore as she smacked the ground or anything near her to get a feel of where he was,
Her eyes widened as she tried to look in the dark and feel around, then she heard something in her ear, a little whisper, “Because you know too much”, she was about to scream before Achlys grabbed her neck and lifted her in the air easily, as she was being strangled in the air she frantically reached into her pockets and pulled out a pen and stabbed Achlys in the eye as he let her go with a scream as he fell back into the TV and was on the ground screaming as he grabbed his eye and blood leaked from it as the lights had conveniently turned back on,
Emilia looked at him in fear as she quickly ran out the door and tried to access the elevator but noticed it wouldn’t open, she then felt a gush of wind and felt the urge to duck and as soon as she did a fist implanted and hit the elevator door as it dented inside and Achlys with one eye closed and the other wide open with a crazed look and turning slightly red around the edges of his eyes,
Emilia started running down the hallway as Achlys started walking, trailing behind her like a predator, “You can run but you can’t hide, I know every inch of this place Emilia!” he screamed as he started to hum a tune, “The London Bridge is falling down, Falling Down, Falling Down, Falling Down… The London Bridge is falling down… my fair lady…” he hummed and sang. As she was running and screaming for help, she heard him singing and humming from down the hallway and it brought chills up her spine, she threw down shelves and anything she could to get away from him, she turned a corner and ran into the very first door she could find.
She quickly looked around for anything to hide into, she saw a closet and quickly hid in it…
*Boom*
The door was kicked down as he walked in as if he was comfortable and was humming a tone aloud as he twisted a knife in between his fingers. His eyes trailed and looked around the room before he walked into the restroom,
Emilia covered her mouth as she heard him in there because his voice was slightly echoing a distance away, “Are you...-“*pshh-vroom* he slid the curtains away as he threw the knife as it embedded into the wall sending some rubble flying, “-in here!”… but he was mistaken as she wasn’t in there. In the closet, Emilia jumped inside the closet a little bit at the sound of a boom and stuff flying from the restroom,
She felt something rub up against her shoulder in the closet and turned around and saw a dead body with its neck slit and she almost screamed as she reacted harshly and bumped against the closet’s walls… and then she realized what she did as her eyes widened as she tightened her grip around her mouth and pushed the body away, ‘Did he hear me?’
There was just silence… *bang* a knife with a hand gripping on it appeared right next to Emilia’s head and into the already dead body, Emilia quietly slumped down as she saw the knife impaled into the body,
Achlys slammed open the right door as he looked at the dead body before grunting a little angrily before yanking out his knife out of the head and closed the door.
He hummed as he flipped the knife in the air and Emilia shifted inside the closet towards the hole that Achlys created and watched him,
Achlys tightened his fist as he slammed his knife in the nearest table with anger as he looked up at the clock and shifted his eyes all around the room. He looked in the air before muttering aloud, “Emilia… it’s a risky game you’re playing with me!” he yelled as he picked up the TV and threw it at the wall causing Emilia to flinch as she slowly backed away from the hole,
Achlys in his rage stomped on the TV, picked up a small table and threw it into the wall breaking small pieces off of it and picked up the mattress from the bed and threw it in anger, Achlys looked at the clock as he muttered, “You’re wasting my time, Emilia! When I find you… you will suffer-”, he said as he looked around before yanking his knife out of the desk, he put it in earlier and walked out as he left his final words in the room, “-Just like I do every day.”
Emilia sat there as she watched him leave in fear before cautiously opening the left side of the closet door and looked around, she had no time to think right now, all that was on her mind was escaping as she quickly went to the door as she looked through the peephole and saw no one near, she opened the door and peaked out, she then quickly sprinted out as she turned the corner and tripped on one of the broken shelves she threw down towards Achlys to get away from him as she currently screamed and clutched her ankles,
She yelped in pain as she grabbed her ankle and looked down at a piece of the shelve in her ankle. She heard hurried and fast footsteps and she got up as quickly as she could and started walking fast because she couldn’t run, she was limping, and a blood trail was being left on the cold hard floor as she used the walls to support her
Achlys turned the corner fast that she was just at and stepped over the broken shelve pieces as he tilted his head and looked at the blood trail,
Emilia kept on limping, as she saw what looked to be some type of emergency exit with a staircase and quickly hurried as she heard Achlys humming from down the hallway’s as she heard his knife scraping against the walls,
She pushed the emergency door violently as it smacked against the wall and quickly went downstairs as she couldn’t think, the adrenaline was rushing through her as she tried to find any way possible to escape. She then made it down to the very 1st floor as she limped out the door towards the front door and she made it there as she pushed the door, but it didn’t bulge, she kept on kicking, pushing, and screaming for help until she heard the very sound, she didn’t want to hear…
*Ding*…
The scene shifted as if it was in slow motion as Emilia with fear, adrenaline and wide eyes turned around as she knelt on her knees slowly as tears were about to drip down her eye as the doors opened and Achlys walked out slowly as half his face was bloody and him gripping his knife,
Achlys slowly pulled up his gloves on his hands as he walked over to her menacingly and the scene shifted back to normal as she pleaded, “Please! I’ll leave, I’ll do anything; I won’t tell anybody anything about this place!” she noticed how he kept on walking towards her not caring about anything she said, “PLEASE!”, he ignored her as he was finally upon her and looked down at her… he backed up a little bit and kicked her in the face effectively knocking her out as he looked down at her unconscious body and the last thing she heard was sirens and silently hoped… “Gotcha” he said but then he heard a siren outside and widened his eyes as he picked up Emilia’s body and put her behind his desk as he looked at the time, 4:30, Achlys shook his head as he heard knocking on the door… he should’ve known Emilia would’ve still been able to contact the cops.
Achlys opened the door to where the cop could only see his left eye, “Yes?”, The blonde cop with a hat on his head and standard uniform looked at him for a second, “Can I come in?” and Achlys shook his head, “No can do Mr-“ Achlys then looked at his name tag on his uniform, “-Johnathan Hirske”, Achlys said with a slight chuckle trying to lighten the mood. John wasn’t in any joking mood though, the rain was dropping like missiles onto his head, hail was falling, and thunder was in the background… Now any normal person would’ve let him in but of course… he ran into one of these rude people.
“Is there any particular reason you’re refraining me from entering into this building Mr.?” John motioned with his hand and Achlys shook his head a little, “Achlys… my name is Achlys, and I don’t want you to enter because well… the Hotel is closed” he said with a fake sad voice as he motioned with his left hand towards the sign on the other door and John rose his brow as he put his hands on his chin for a second then threw his hands up as if he was enlightened, “Ah… your closed is that it hm?. They can you explain to me why the police department got a distress call from one of the rooms in this Hotel? It should be closed right?” he said with a slight laugh as he smiled at Achlys, but Achlys could read the atmosphere. “And since when were hotels closed… must be something new huh?” John said with a smile as he crossed his arms across his chest,
“Especially considering your website said that you were always open 24/7…” John said as his smile disappeared as his hand had slowly found its way to the gun, “I’m going to need you to step aside Achlys...” he said in a rude manner, Achlys sighed as he allowed him in as John looked around for a moment,
As soon as John came in, he hid his knife somewhere in his clothes as he tried to lessen as much blood as he could on his face. John turned around and looked at Achlys and frowned, “Why is your… your eye bleeding like that?” and Achlys grinned, “Well, I have my own foolishness to thank for that, like my mother used to say when I was younger, don’t run around with scissors in his hand” he chuckled, “But this time it was with a screwdriver” Achlys said as he grabbed at his eye,
John looked at Achlys for a second before walking around a little and heading over towards the receptionist’s desk as he looked at some file work, Achlys tensed up as his eye squinted a little.
“And why is a hotel receptionist slash owner… doing something that a plumber or a mechanic or heck even an electrician should do.” John said as he kept reading some files with his back to Achlys, “Well, because who else can do it. I don’t have enough money to enlist other people so I’ve got to do it myself, you know this… you’re from this town” and John turned his head a little to where Achlys could see his eye, “Exactly… I’m from this town.”
John turned around and looked a little bit-up with just his eyes and not moving with his body and saw a body behind the desk and remained calm, “You know Mr. Achlys, the situation isn’t looking good for you” he said as he turned around and sat on the desk like he owned the place while Achlys smiled at him, “And why is that?” he replied back, John smacked his thigh as he pointed at him, “It’s odd isn’t it? I get a distress signal from this lone hotel, you lie to me about being open, and you have blood on your eyes”, John said as he slowly got up and sighed,
“You know Mr. Achlys… I really hate liars” John said as he quickly tried to draw his pistol and aim at Achlys; but Achlys threw his knife towards the gun effectively knocking it out of the officer’s hands and rushed the officer as he punched him in the jaw and threw him over the table. John got up as fast as he could and avoided the woman’s body as he avoided a punch from Achlys and sent one back as he missed Achlys and Achlys jumped and kicked him in the chest sending him back into one of the large flower cases stationed around the doors.
Achlys sighed as he walked over towards the cop who was still on the ground with blood leaking from the back of his head and he picked him up and slammed him into the wall as he punched his stomach and let him go as John coughed up blood and slumped onto the ground with flat legs, “You know… I really wished you hadn’t tested me” Achlys said as he kneeled on the ground and looked into the officers eye.
Achlys grabbed the officers chin as he smiled at him, and with his full force flicked his head towards one direction effectively snapping it.
Achlys sighed as he looked at the dead officer on his ground and at the unconscious Emilia who’d never know what happen as he sighed and shook his head, “Look at what you made me do Emilia” ...
Achlys grabbed the cop’s radio as he tried his best to imitate his voice because one of the officers were wondering and talking into the station asking if he needed help and an update, “Everything’s fine-“ he said as he quickly reached into the man’s pocket and looked into his wallet as he saw a picture of his family and the force, “-it was just a false alarm, even though I don’t really know how” he said as he imitated John, “Just a 148.5, nothing to worry about” Achlys finished off, it was a little silent before the Operator cleared him and Achlys let out a breath of relief not because he didn’t want to get into trouble, but so that he wouldn’t have to kill more people than he can handle downstairs.
Achlys then looked at Emilia, “Now what to do with you” … as his eyes widened for a second as he looked out the door again, “No!”…
____
Emilia was slowly waking up, but everything was dizzy and unclear, she was locked in what appeared to be a dark padded room, she tried to tug and move but she couldn’t she was chained up. She started to awaken more and more as she tried to move with all she could, but she couldn’t as the chains kept on clanking, she then stopped as she heard something and tried to listen and then realized what it was…
*Dun Ch…Dun Ch…Dun Ch. *
They were footsteps, but then she listened closer, and they sounded hurried, she then heard voices, “Hurry up and get it open!”, then Emilia had remembered that she had heard sirens before she went unconscious and weakly smiled,
The door was then hit multiple times and then it burst down as she flinched from the dust from it and then it appeared to be SWAT officers that ran in and looked around and noticed that she was the only person there, “Mam are you okay!” one of the fellow SWAT members smacked him in the helmet, and he looked at her, “Does she look okay? She looks dehydrated and skinny as if she’s been here for weeks”, and Emilia’s eyes widened. She then tried to speak but felt that her throat was dry so she couldn’t even say anything but tears slowly started coming down her eyes, ‘It was just a dream!? W-what happened?’
One of the SWAT officers spoke up, “You’re going to be okay mam, we apprehended the suspect. Moments after the Officer was on the scene he called in backup and we took down the suspect, you’re going to be fine mam!” one of the guys said as they cut all the binds off her,
Emilia almost cried out as she smiled and allowed herself to be uplifted by the officers into the air and get carried out of the scene.
Everything was a blur as the officers got her out of her chains and carried her as they appeared to be in some type of basement, she blinked her eyes and then they were suddenly on the first floor exiting out of the front door as cops were everywhere and there was Achlys on the ground kneeling in front of cops with their guns pointed at him,
As she was being carried past him, she looked at Achlys and then noticed something, he had two eyes… then she realized.
--
“Huuahhh!” she breathed out quickly as she opened her eyes and looked around frantically and saw Achlys sitting on a desk with an eyepatch on his right eye that got stabbed, she looked around as she saw dismembered corpses all around her and dried blood everywhere. There were bloodied tools, and cages with skeletons and dead bodies. If that didn’t horrify her to the core, she noticed a dead officer in the corner with his neck snapped in a very awkward manner and she almost cried right then and there,
She tried to cover her nose from the horrible smell, but she was chained up… truly this time. Achlys hopped off the table as he walked over to one of the desks with a bunch of tools and a bloodied white-apron as he put it on with his back was turned to her, “You know… you’re really interesting Emilia Jadonsky, Age 34, you come from Idaho… interesting” he said as she looked at his back then he showcased her wallet with all of her information in his hands, she tried to scream but couldn’t as there was a sock in her mouth with tape over it.
He turned around with a butcher-knife in hand as he looked at her, “I now know why you reminded me of her so much… you’re her sister” and Emilia’s eyes widened as she looked at him in confusion and realization as she stomped her foot in anger and anguish, he did something to her sister. He was responsible! But then again… she should’ve known that after getting chased and threatened by him.
She was screaming with the thing in her mouth and Achlys smiled as he walked up to her and took all of it out of her mouth, as soon as everything was out of her mouth she spit at him, “Fu-“ *pah* he slapped her right in the face as she tilted over along with the chair and banged her head on the ground as she looked directly in the eyes of a skeleton with a… an emerald necklace.
That… it was her sister’s emerald necklace that Emilia gave to her for her 16th birthday.
She looked back up into the skeleton’s void of “eyes”, Emilia started muttering, “No… no” and Achlys smiled, “Yes… yes” he said as she looked up at him from her weird position and angle as she saw Achlys raise his boot up in the air and slam it down onto her dead sister’s skull as she screamed in anger and sadness, “HOW COULD YOU!” she said with tears coming out of her eyes and Achlys kneeling down looking her in the eyes, “Because it was needed…” he said as he got back up and went over to a table with a gun and reloaded it and cocked it back, “Why! Tell me why!” and Achlys paused as he held the gun in his hand, he slowly turned around as he breathed deeply, “It wouldn’t matter even if I told you… you can’t change anything”. He then closed his eyes as he paused for a moment before opening them again as he gave out a dark and angry smile, “You know it’s really not your fault, it’s all mine. At least this time I gave you a running start” … he said menacingly as he placed his hands at where his eye used to be, “Somehow you manage to always do this to my eye…” he chuckled,
He then walked back over to her, stood there for a couple of seconds before kicking her sister’s skeleton away and layed downright next to her as they stared at each other eye to eye… “You know, I did this same thing to your sister, I guess the apple doesn’t fall that far away from the tree now does it” he said with a chuckle as it went away as he looked at her with a cold gaze and put the gun to her forehead,
“Go kill yourself you one eyed prick!” she screamed in his face with sadness as she whimpered knowing that she was going to die. Then it was as if her eyes flashed in recognition at the last second… as if the scene was slowing down as she saw his finger slowly pulling the trigger…
‘Achlys… Achlys… Achlys?’ flashbacks poured through her mind as she cried even harder, multiple times… over and over and over… she slowly started going crazy as she began to start screaming, she screamed in her mind why… and then she finally found out why… but it was too late.
He then sadly smiled as it seemed like she finally figured it out, but it was too late and it must be done or he’ll suffer even more… he then pulled the trigger and blood splattered across his face as he flinched from it as he looked at the bullet hole in between her forehead and the tears and blood mixed together, he then got up and knelt on the ground as he screamed into the air with tears slowly starting to come out, “Why! Why must you put me through this over! And over! And over again!”
He then put the gun to his own head as he screamed and spit flew everywhere, “I CAN’T KEEP DOING THIS!”. The gun then disappeared in a black smoke as he heard a voice, “You can… and you will”.
A sudden wave of sleepiness went over him as he tried to fight the urge to sleep… to fight IT…
He then passed out as his eyes looked at the time… 5:00
Achlys woke up as he saw Emilia walk through the door once more and an awkward voice rang out as a woman with wet hair walked in, “Hey there Mr. Receptionist, how are you doing today?” she said and Achlys faked a smile, “Hello their customer” … he said as he looked at the time… 3:30... 30 more minutes to go until it’s time.
It was as if the scene zoomed out as a being was looking down upon them… “This is your karma… your own hell Achlys, you shall suffer until the end of eternity.” A being then landed right next to him, “Lucifer why do you persist on torturing him and doing this to him… he is your so- “
“Silence you impudent fool!” Lucifer roared out as he looked at the being, Lucifer looked at the screen as he spoke to the being, “This is his punishment for acting against my orders, for trying to rebel. He has a whole hour to eliminate his wife, if he doesn’t… his sentence is extended within his own hell, and if he tries to kill himself, the consequences are dangerous… why do you think his right eye continues to get stabbed and that she continues to remember at the last moment?” and the other being scoffed as it flew away, “Like father like son… am I right?” the being said as it looked straight into the readers curious eyes…
“Bye bye now…”.
After Emilia’s Death
---
In a board room there were people around the table with fear all on their faces and shock as they looked at the board and the folder given to them as one of the females slumped back in her chair as tears were dropping out of her eyes as she covered her mouth… an attempt to hide her pain. “Sgt. John Hirske… my husband is dead?” the woman said as she sobbed as she looked at the man next to her, “Y-you!” she got up and slapped him in the face as she started punching him weakly and he put his hands up for the other officers to stand back, “Y-you! You sent him out there! You killed my husband” she said with tears in her eyes and the man only looked at her with pity in his eyes as he just brought her closer and hugged her.
“I’m sorry, and I apologize mam. He accepted the job and knew the possible consequences, I nor did he know what was going to happen, but I promise we will find out who did this and lock him up…”
The woman backed away from him as she held her mouth, “L-lock him up? He killed my husband for Christ’s sake!” and the man shook his head, “Mam it’s not my job to decide whether he lives or dies, but it’s my duty to protect and uphold the law and justice within this county” … and the woman shook her head with disappointment, “And look where that has gotten people that have gone near that hotel, to my husband!” she yelled as she pointed at every single cop there, “You knew! You knew what was going on at that Hotel and chose not to act and now look at what happened! An officer of the law has been killed and yet you sit here and do nothing about it!” she said as she shook her head and pushed the door open as she was about to leave and came right back in, she spit on the ground, “You’re all a bunch of cowards! While you sat here, the guy has probably already left the Hotel!”.
She stormed out the hotel, looks like she has to do things herself.
