Victim 4

Victoria sighs as she undresses, easing herself into the tub. Nice and toasty just as she likes it. She dims the lights and puts some music on sighing as she relaxes. Suddenly her phone starts to buzz and she groans, reaching over for it, a slew of texts from the guy she met last night,

"What happened?"

"Why can't I remember anything?"

"I've been puking all morning what did you give me?"

Victoria chuckles and blocks the number before setting her phone back down and humming to herself, in her world she can do whatever she wants to whoever she wants. The strong will conquer the weak. She grabs her phone again and starts looking through the pictures of last night, smiling to herself as she sees the man she took advantage of slowly become more and more intoxicated as the pictures continue.

As Victoria is watching some of the videos she gets a call from an unknown number, at first she declines it but then they call again. Irritated she picks up,

"Who is this?" She demands.

"In a few minutes the serial killer Ignis will attempt to kill you, I suggest you start running," A scrambled voice says and then promptly hangs up.

Victoria rolls her eyes and thinks,

Kids these days, honestly think they're so cool with their voice-changing apps. If you ask me these kids are the ones Ignis should be killing, annoying brats.

A wave of anxiety washes over her and she feels her heart clench, shaking her head she empties the tub and grabs a towel.

Surely it's a joke, right? I mean it has to be a joke...Maybe it's the guy from last night! Yes, that has to be it! She thinks and opens the bathroom door quickly stepping out to check the windows and doors.

She looks out her blinds and doesn't notice a thing, she sighs in relief and walks to the backdoor, she passes through the kitchen and freezes in her tracks, the backdoor is wide open, she steps back, and an egg cracks beneath her barefoot. She turns around to see all the contents of her fridge on the ground.

The realization hits her too late as the fridge door opens and Ignis steps out, stretching his body and reaching under the counter grabbing his flame thrower.

Victoria screams as her towel drops to the ground, exposing her naked body as she steps back in fear. Ignis stands there shocked unable to move as he looks at her, his hands shaking uncomfortably.

Victoria notices the shift in demeanor and takes this opportunity to sprint out the back, Ignis regains his composure and runs after her, she sprints into the backyard and beelines for the gate, slamming it open and rounding the corner. Suddenly there's a flash of light and Victoria's body is thrown back through the gate completely on fire.

The gate opens once more and Uriel steps through it smiling, she looks over at Victoria and then up at Ignis, she holds her finger up and moves it from side to side and tuts.

"Sloppy work here Ignis" Uriel says looking over at Victoria and continuing, "Technically that's my kill but you can have it"

"Uriel? Why are you here?" Ignis asks.

"Oh, Ignis! I'm so happy we get to talk again! How's little Sebastian holding up does he know you're actually-" Uriel starts and Ignis grabs her mouth and shakes his head.

"The kid isn't ready for that yet. He can hear you" Ignis says and Uriel narrows her eyes and shrugs, and then points behind her at the gate. Ignis looks over and sees legs peaking out from the other side. He walks over and Uriel starts to burn the word Ignis into the ground.

Ignis turns the corner and sees Millie on the ground, he kneels and checks her pulse. She's alive just unconscious.

"I was careful. Unlike you" Uriel says walking over to him.

"What do you mean unlike me?" Ignis replies standing up.

"Dude, she saw Sebastian enter that alleyway and then saw you exit. I know you're trying to protect the kid or whatever, but grow up man. Just tell him the truth, it's not like he matters" Uriel says rolling her eyes.

"Don't you ever say that, he was there when it all happened! And he doesn't need to remember it!" Ignis shouts and Uriel stomps the ground and grabs Ignis by his shirt pulling him towards her.

"I was there too! And you blamed me! I was trying to save you from her! And she shipped me away!" Uriel screams and tears form in her eyes.

"Uriel stop he's going to know if you keep shouting!" Ignis says and Uriel shakes her head.

"No! No! He should know!" Uriel says and rips off his gas mask and pulls out her phone snapping a picture.


"Uriel don't!" Ignis reaches for the phone and she turns it towards Ignis,

"Look at the truth Sebastian, look who Ignis really is!"

As Uriel holds the phone out, Millie slowly opens her eyes and groans. Sebastian looks on in horror at the picture, and as Millie looks over at Ignis her eyes widen, her fears being reaffirmed.

Oh no, it's true, isn't it? Millie thinks.

Wait this is Ignis? This is his face? Sebastian thinks.

This means...yes it has to mean... Millie thinks.

This means Ignis is..Sebastian thinks.

Ignis is Sebastian Millie thinks.

I am Ignis Sebastian thinks while staring at the photo, it's him. It's his face staring right back at him. It all makes sense now, why only he could see him, why his room stunk of smoke. And if what this girl is saying is true, Uriel is his sister.

"Wait that's right I remember it all now," Sebastian says and Uriel grins.
