I ran threw the dark alley looking down at my phone, rewinding the text message in my head that the stranger gave to me. "Your Mother.." What does that mean? Is she ok? Why is he texting me? I started to freak out and hyperventilate.

  "Ruby!" I heard Scott scream from behind me. I didn't look back, I just quickened my pace. Graffiti hung on the walls like tattoos, all different colors, all different meanings. I shivered as one graffiti was of a man in a suit, top hat, and red bow tie. It was the waiter. Its following me every where? Even on the walls he stalked me. I shrugged it off and kept pacing.

  I felt a hand on my shoulder, screamed, and twisted around. It was Scott, sweating and red as an apple.

"Ruby, what's going on with you?" He practically yelled into my ear.

" Shut up! " I shouted and started to tear up.

"What's going on?" He said more quietly and started talking to me like a baby, balling her eyes out. I pulled out my phone and showed him the text conversation that me and the stranger had. His eyes went flaming and nodded towards a street sign behind me that said " 5th Avenue. "

   I dropped my phone on the concrete and felt glass shards on my legs. I ran towards the street sign and looked down the filthy avenue. I saw police tape covering a corner, yet I could not see what it was. I needed to get a better view, quickly.

  Scott was behind me (I could feel him breathing down my neck, it was awkward) and watching my every movement. I ran up to one of the cops around the area.

"Where's my mother!?" I screamed at her.

"Ma'am I need you to calm down." The cop said in a gentle voice, but I could tell something was wrong.

" I cant! One of your cop friends decided to text me saying that my mother... Well I don't know! " I said as I held up my phone for her to see the messages. Her eyes went wide and looked at me with pain.

"This is not one of our cops... Or any one that I know of." She said as she munched on a donut.

"It has to be!" I yelled.

"Sorry ma'am." She walked away towards the crime seen. Really? did she just do that? Oh she will regret that, I ran after her, but stopped immediately in my tracks.. I saw blood foot prints all along the concrete.

"W- W- what?" I stuttered as I stated in disbelief . Blood? Blood...

"Its going to be ok.." Scott said behind me. There was blood on the floor. . What has happened? I walked closer, but stuttering more when I see more.. Blood. Puddles all over, blood. Stale crusty blood. It's been here for awhile. I shivered as wind passed by me.

  I finally got to the cops tape.. And found two shattered cars. Glass was everywhere and aluminum was scattered across the floor. I found more blood, more than I have ever seen, a pond and in the middle was.. Mum?

"M-Mum?" I stuttered barely hearing the words that came out. Is that her, on the ground, in a pond of blood? I picked up her lifeless hand. Is she dead? Her blood red hair had become much more thicker.. With blood.
I felt the urge to lunge for someone at that exact moment. I pulled out of my pocket.. A knife. I was so uncontrollably crazy with revenge of.. Who did this to her?

"Ruby.." Scott wispered as I put the knife on the ground.

" Who did this? " I spat out and stared at him. I could see that he was "heart broken" for me, but I felt that he just needed to go home. Before he could answer I heard heavy footsteps inching my way towards me, I turned around to find a large man with brown hair, and dark green eyes. They were flaming with anger, just like the day in the lunch room.

"Yes young, innocent Ruby. Who did this?" The man said and smirked. He was covered in the shadows, very well but, I knew exactly who he was.

"Nick get your butt out here." I yelled and stood up. I looked around to find Scott... But he left me.. AGAIN. A tear ran down my face as Nick came out of the shadows. He had a bloody knife and hair that was sticking straight up.

  "Oh what is it Ruby? Did your mum die? Or is she just on the floor not awake." He snickered evilly. How could he do this to me? Where was Scott, HE LEFT ME! Alone to die...

"How could you.." I spat at him and looked down at my lifeless mother. I already lost my father, which we will get into that story later, I couldn't lose my mum. I sadly already did. 

"Oh it was easy really. She was going to the store the morning you left with pore Scott. By the way where is he now? Did he leave you.." Nick grinned. 

"No Nick, he just.. Go on with it then." 

"Ok fine. After you left with Scott this morning I texted your mother with.. Your fathers phone number." His smile went wider. He was a devil.

"It said 'I have some news for you in the 5th avenue! Come with your car and we can have a finished wedding..' She fell for it, and came here. I was ready with a knife, a truck, and -" He pulled out a lock of my mothers hair. 

"Of course your mother." His smile curled into a chuckle. 

"She was so easy to kill." I lunged for Nick and topled him over onto the blood stained ground.

"YOU KILLED MY MOTHER! WHY? WHY DIDNT YOU COME FOR ME? WHY?" I screamed at him as I punched his face. Blood was every where already, I was just making more..

"She was so easy to kill, and I knew that it would affect you the most.." He chuckled as he punched me in the gut. 

"She had a wonderful life! WE HAD A WONDERFUL LIFE TOGETHER!" I yelled even louder as cops came and shoved me off of him.

"COPS, COPS THIS GIRL IS TRYING TO KILL ME!" Nick lied as he scrambled off the top of me. 

"NO HE KILLED MY MOTHER" I cried as they put hand cuffs on me. 

"PLEASE YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE ME!" I cried louder. Why were they taking me away? Of all people I should be the one taken away? MY MOTHER JUST GOT MURDERED! BLOOD WAS ON HIM! HE SHOULD DIE NOT MY MUM..

"STOP IT" I screamed and twisted out of the cops grasp. I ran towards Nick and took out my knife. 

"OH YOU WANT TO FIGHT EH?" Nick yelled as he took out his knife. 

"OH YOU HAVE NO IDEA!" I chuckled evilly and lunged for him, with the bloody knife. I swiped for his torso but missed.

"WELL THEN! LET'S DO THIS.. YOU WILL REGRET THIS LITTLE DOLL." He stabbed me in the arm and ripped it clean. I screamed as I held my bloody arm in my hand.

" Get ready Nick.. " I smirked and ran for him, he ran back. I stabbed him in the gut with the knife as he swiped my face. He both screamed as we fell to the floor. I held my bloody eye as I sat up.

"I will win Nick.. Even if I have to die." I chuckled. Have I gone insane? I have never done this before.. Well freak out with a knife. Wait how did I have a knife in my pocket? I don't remember putting it there.

"Oh you have know idea Doll how much I have wanted to kill you after that day.. When I went to jail.... Either one of you would have been fine... But I guess Scott decided that he would rather have you die than him.." Nick snickered. Was this true? Scott wanted me to..Die.. In his place? Anger ran threw my vanes but when I heard this I... Crumbled.

"Aw pore Doll... I would help you but.. I don't like bow ties." I looked up at him after he said that. What was he talking about? I stood up from the ground and watched him.

" Have you gone insane Nick? What are you talking about? " He cheekily pointed behind me towards the multiple pictures of graffiti. The first thing I saw was was a man.. With a top hat.. And a red bow tie..

"The waiter?" I spat. What did he have to do with me?

" Oh pore Ruby.. You don't know? " He chuckled.

"I almost feel bad for you.." He wispered but just enough so that I could here.

" Nick what are you bickering about.. " I asked, but I knew he wouldn't tell me.

"You will find out soon enough..." He smiled as he lunged for me with his knife. I dodged just in time before he stabbed me in the chest.

" Oh and about your mother.. " I stared at him.. WOULD YOU... Just.....Stop?

"Yes.." I asked.

"She was a great.... Love.." I looked at him.

" I was right.. You have lost your insanity haven't you? "  I spat at him.

"On I feel like that's a compliment." His smiled curled. Was he trying to get himself stabbed?

"Shut up, and walk out of here Nick. Go on, you have done way to much." I sniffled as hot tears ran down my cheeks.

" Ill be back doll.. By the way.. Hold to your soul.. " Nick snickered and ran back down the alley way.

"I sure will.. And yours too.." I laughed at him. I looked down at my bloody hands and arms. My face was shaved in dried blood spots. I continued to laugh at the air. I have lost my insanity...

I turned around to find cops with eyes wide open. One had there gun pointing at me yelling for me to get on the ground with my hands up.

"If you say so.." I cringed and sat down. The cops hesitated but then ran towards me. One cop tried to hand cuff me but when he did... Let's just say it got bloody. I busted from the hand   and took out my knife. Cops came at me like mosquitos, and what do you do to mosquitos eh? Swat them..

"GET BACK!" I screamed. All the cops stopped suddenly.

"WHAT IS IT? I TOLD YOU TO GET BACK!" I screamed. They were looking behind me. What is it? I turned around to find a large graffiti portrait of the waiter guy but much bigger, and threatening. It had black and red particles swirling around it. It was coming alive..

"RUN!" One of the cops yelled as all of them retired from there posts. Right when they left though... The picture stopped coming alive. I stared at it. What? What the heck? I walked up to it and touched it. It was cold, but familiar. It made me want to cry. I slumped down next to it and cried my bloody tears away..
