Guns and Roses

Chapter 19 - Slow Burn

Dana's pov -

My heart was thumping against my chest like in horror films. I knew I was home alone.

I felt cold sweat slowly start to form. I began to say my kalimas and move forward towards the door.

I immediately locked it and with my shaky legs I walked towards the window and slowly lifted my shaky hands to move the blinds a tad.

I peeked slowly and gasped as I see the house next to ours with their door open and blood flowing out the open door like a river.

My eyes teared up as I check the time. 9 o'clock. My lips began to quiver as I slowly brought my hands down from the blinds and took a step back but lost control and landed on the floor with a thud.

"B-Bilal p-please c-come." I whispered with a shaky voice as tears slowly spilled out my eyes. I was scared.

I flinched when my phone dinged, meaning someone messaged me. I slowly reached over and grabbed my phone with shaky hands. I didn't care about any message or anything anymore. It's like my head went blank.

Do I call the police?

Why am I not thinking straight. I'm going to be having nightmares about this for sure.
One thing is for sure.

The killer is back and killed another innocent soul.

After a few minutes I waited and heard the door shut close harshly next door and loud footsteps slowly began to fade away.

Did they leave?

I get up slowly and held my hand over my mouth as I slowly unlock the door. I need to check up on the women. I should of helped her.

Allah forgive me for not helping.

I opened the door ajar and peeked if anyone was there and no one was. I slowly get out and walked blindly towards the door next to mine.

I gasped as my feet felt in contact with cold liquid. I looked down while shaking and gasped as I see pools of blood dripping down.

I got my phone immediately and turned around to go inside but a very rusty shaggy car that was parked was there.

Oh no. They saw me come out. They know I'm calling the police.

I grabbed my phone immediately and ran inside my apartment and locked the door behind me.

"911 what's your emergency." A lady on the end spoke.

"S-someone g-got murdered." I said with a very shaky and terrifying voice.

I opened the apartment door and gulped. I took a sped out and see police and investigators all around.

I stood there staring at the door. The women screamed out of terror and I couldn't do anything. I couldn't do anything for any of them.

I basically let them die.

A car honk made me jump in my spot. I looked behind me and see a familiar police car. I slowly close my apartment door and walked towards the car.

I opened the door of the car and sat inside. I closed the door and put my seatbelt on.

I just have to act like nothing happened. I'm not scared. No no I'm not.

I looked over at grey and smiled as much as I could. "Hi" I said and he didn't reply. Okay.

"We got three victim murdered last night."he said coldly and I looked at him confused. Three? No it's one..right?

"Huh? Three?" I said confused and he looked at me and back at the road before sighing. "The victims in the hospital were found stabbed 47 times each." He said coldly and I gasped.
