The Strange Peculiar Bizarre Town Alice, Alex And Malice Part Eight

 A Series Of Murders

Malice woke up, she felt strengthened. She looked around and smiled. 

Good. Looks like my message worked. She thought as she put on her black clothes that now stink of dried blood and smoke. She then spotted a knife as she looked around. She remembered Alex's last thought and shrugged.

If she wants justice then I will be happy to oblige!

She left the place and soon found the man that beat his wife. He held her firmly under his arm. She walked with a false smile and fear in her bruised eyes.

Looks like I'm gonna have to find a way to split those two up.

So she dropped to where they were. She looked at the woman and then the man.

"Excuse me."

"What do you want with us?"

"Nothing much. Although, I would like to have a word with your husband, if you don't mind."

"Oh? And what business do you have with me?"

"I prefer to have it in private!" She shouted as she ran to him and stabbed him in the leg.

His wife screamed and she ran away from the group. He then ran after her. She ran down an alley then to a street and down another alley. She ran down a street and soon came to the beach area of the lake. She then looked back to see the man had followed. She smiled as she ran to the doc. 

"What is your problem? Why did you stab me?"

"I dunno. What's yours wife beater?"

This caused anger to flick in his eyes.

"What has my wife been telling you?"

"Nothing. Alex saw you. We do have Mohan's power after all!"

He looked at her with even more anger.

"Don't joke about those things, kid!"

"I'm not." She said as she chuckled. "'Please no. Not today'!"

"Quit mocking me." He shouted as he limped over to her.

She spun and sliced the back of his neck. Then he fell into the water. His limbs failed him. He dipped beneath the waves.

"One down." She said as she walked away.

She thought back to the next dream Alex had. It was of the vampire with the silver hair. She made her way to where she had seen him. He let go of another child, a girl this time. He looked at her and smiled. He rose up erect.

"Tell me, you are Melinda Narcissa, are you not?"

"I was."

He smiled.

"That fool that calls himself out king would be very angry if I killed you. Even more so if I turn you!"

"Would he?" She asked, cocking her eyebrow. 

"Little girl, you have no idea. So do not worry. I will not harm you so why do you not come over here? I will take you to him."

She walked over to him. He then placed his hand on her cheek. His fingers then dropped to her neck. 

"You know, you smell so-"

The knife was in his heart before he could put his fangs in her neck. He was soon dust blowing in the air.

"Two." She said as she left the scene.

She saw a woman walking out of a police station. She was crying as she left. She then dried her tears and smiled as she pulled out a cigarette then lit it. Malice tailed her, as she did she put out the women's cigarette. She stopped and relit it. She then walked on and she put it out again. She went to relight it again and she walked on. She put it out again. She went to relight it again, but Malice put out the spark on the lighter. She flicked it again and again and she put out each spark. She then flicked it again and Malice used the liquid in the lighter to make it explode.

She let out a scream as her hand was engulfed in flames. She waved it in the air yet she made the flames spread to the rest of the arm. She screamed again and again. Yet the fire spread further. Soon her body was engulfed in flames and she fell with the cigarette next to her. The flames were put out. 

"Three." She said as she walked away.

She then spotted the woman. She was walking in a sling. She looked up and greeted her. She looked at her and tried to look upset and timid. Yet for Malice, it was too late.

"Urm, can I help you, kid." She asked, trying to act timid.

"No, but can I ask you what happened?"

"My husband-"

"No. What really happened?"

"What-what do you mean?"

She let out a huff.

"Your husband didn't do this to you. You did."

"Wh-what?"

"Come off it! I have Mohan's power. I saw you injure yourself." 

All pretence dropped. She pulled out a pen knife and ran to her. She dodged and pulled out her own. She went to strike her again but she blocked and thrust her ankle into her foot. This caused her to drop the knife. She thrust her knife into her skull. She let go and set the woman alight.

"Four." 

She then walked away and looked at the clock tower on the castle. It was twelve o'clock. Alice would wake in five hours. She had to get the final set done as soon as she could. So she got to the house. 

She closed her eyes and then focused all her power. This time she wanted to experiment. She wanted to know how large she could summon the fire and how fast she could actually spread it. 

So she focused her power to the centre of the house and willed the largest fire that she could. Then spread it as fast as she could. It eclipsed the house within seconds. She walked away, already knowing that by the time Alice woke, they would be dead.

So she walked back to that place and cleaned up. She washed her clothes by hand and took out a slip of paper.

To Alice and Alex.

Don't worry, those clothes are mine. 

Alex don't worry, all the bad ones are

dead.

Malice, your little helper
