                   Questions

The sky was black like it was covered by something that is bigger than our earth. There were no stars. Only Darkness. A woman is walking in the street alone as no one else was there around. She was wearing a red dress and she was like in her 30s. The woman was quite frightened as she looks around as she walks. She is being followed by someone. But when she looks back there was nothing. She kept moving while looking back and slipped into the ground.

" Fuck !" The woman mourned.
She tried to get to her feet but she realized that her leg was bleeding. It looked like something sharp have cut her heels. She tried to stand up but she fell down again.

" Please someone Help me !"
The woman cried.

But there was no answer. She started to crawl her way near to a building and checked inside. The lights were on but there wasn't a sound. She knocked the door few times . But no one answered her call. She started to breakdown. The woman crawled to another building that had lights on and knocked.

" Help me ! Please "
The woman cried.

Then she heard a strange screeching sound from behind. She looked back and there was someone standing few meters behind her. His appearance was shrouded with darkness. He was just standing there for few minutes and turned back.

" Please Don't leave me here damn it . Please help me . I can't walk "
The woman screamed.

The person turned back to the woman and slowly walked toward her.

" Oh Thank you Mister ''
The woman said with tears in her eyes.

The person became more visible as he came closer to the woman. It was a tall man wearing a Black Jacket and a ripped Mask. His eyes were glowing like a wolf . His mask had stitches and there was a stitched smile on it . His jacket looked quiet old like it was from 90s. The man gave his hand to the woman and he was wearing gloves.

" Thank you . Thank you . God bless you "
The woman holded the man's hand.
Then suddenly the man sliced the woman's arm off with a sharp Bladed hook like weapon.
The woman screamed in pain and the man sinked his hand into the womans mouth and ripped out her insides out. She was still alive as the man pulled out her Throat.  Then he used his Blade hook to rip her heart off from her chest. The man undressed the woman and carved 'RIP' on her back. He took her heart with him and disappeared in the darkness. Then one of the building door was opened and a man walked outside and he saw the woman's body laying on the ground middle of a puddle of blood. He yelled for help and more people came outside.

Elsewhere there was a cop driving his car on the road while talking to another cop through the radio. The cop was a young muscular man named Richard. And he is heading to the strange town called Malvadapin where the woman was brutally murdered.

" I am saying you, people says the town is cursed or something. You wouldn't stay there for a hour "
The cop over the radio said.

" Fuck that, man. I got it under control. It's just a murder. Probably there's a murderous psycho hiding in that town. "
Richard said.

" But what if it's different than that ?"
The cop said.

" Either way I am into this shit. I will get paid for this. I am not missing my chance paul . "
Richard said.

" Go Fuck yourself then . Out "
The cop ended the conversation.

" Bullshit . I am going to solve this shit . Hell yeah. "
Richard told to himself.

As Richard getting closer to the Malvadapin town the air became thin and felt like Darkness is covering the city.

Richard arrived to the town and he was greeted by an elder named Alan. Both shaked hands .

" Good to have you here officer Richard "
Alan said while smiling.

" I am glad. So tell me about this town ."
Richard said while shaking hands.

" Most of this town's people are newcomers.  They don't belive what I told them. "
Alan said.

" And What's that ?"
Richard asked.

" There's something evil lurking here. It wants to see blood and death. It is powerful and old. It just appears as a man. And it is older than me. I was there when I saw it. It's face was like a human but with rotten flesh. It had lots of holes on his face. I was young when I saw it. I don't think it's a person. "
Alan said in a fearful tone.

Richard laughed while Alan looked embarrassed.

" Sorry. Huh . It's nothing but a scary story to tell in the dark. Don't worry I will find this man who killed the woman "
Richard said while laughing.

" It's ain't no man and it killed more than a one woman. It killed 6 people when I saw it last. Everyone left the town except me. I stayed here because my parents were killed by that Fucking thing. So believe me or not You are also in this game "
Alan yelled.

" Alright. Geez . Take me to the place where the woman was killed yesterday "
Richard said.

" come on "
Alan escorted Richard to the investigation area. While they were walking there was no one else was outside. Some people were peeking out from their Windows to look at Richard. Every door was closed and there was no sound. Not even a dog or a cat. Or even a bird. The town looked dead and abandoned.

" Gotta say this town is fucking Weird. I like that "
Richard said.

" Oh You just don't know yet "
Alan said.

When entering the investigation area and Richard was disgusted by the view. The body of the woman was still there with rotten flesh and flies flying around. Richard puked after seeing it.

" Told you "
Alan chuckled

" Why the fuck didn't you clean this up ?"
Richard asked Angrily.

" No one wanted to go near this. Everyone stayed inside while I am the only one out here waiting for you . I am too old "
Alan said.

" Seriously man ? Oh Fuck "
Richard covered his nose while checking the dead body.

" Damn This is nastier than I imagined "
Richard told to himself.

He checked on the body parts that were outside. After checking the woman's clothes he found an ID.

" Alice Rothbrong. Age 33. From San Francisco ? "

" So she is new to this town ?"
Richard asked.

'' She came few days ago . Didn't talked with any other. She told me that she wanted to stay here for a while. I had no idea why she wanted ti stay in this town "
Alan said.

" Her heart was ripped off. But it isn't here. The killer must have taken it . But why ? Are there any guy who collects body parts lives here ?"
Richard asked from Alan.

" Why ? There aren't anyone like that "
Alan said.

Richard saw the 'RIP' carved on the woman's back.

" 'RIP'.Hmm, the killer is surly weird. Maybe it is joke to him."
Richard said.

" RIP is It's sign. People calls the killer or IT as 'Mister Rip'. I remember the bodies I saw years ago also had carvings like this "
Alan said.

" That's even weirder "
"I need to ask some questions from the people who first saw the dead body "
Richard told to Alan.

Alan went near the building nearby and knocked . Then the man who saw the body came outside.

" Yes ?"
He asked.

" So tell me at what time you saw it "
Richard asked the man while sitting down on chair that the man gave.

" I saw the body at Ten O clock"
The man said.

" What were you doing at that time ?"
Richard asked.

" We were sleeping. What else do you think ?"
The man said.

" Didn't you even heard her screaming or something?"
Richard asked.

" No. We didn't hear anything. "
The man said.

" If you were sleeping ,why did you came outside and saw the dead body ? "
Richard asked.

" I just felt like I need some Air . So I went outside. That's all "
The man said.

" Interesting. What's your name mister ?"
Richard asked.

" Billy . Billy Ervon"
The man said.

Richard walked away from the building with Alan and talked with him.

" Some shit is going here. I can feel it . I am going to stay for few days and investigate. But I need a place to stay."
Richard said.

" Alright. There is a hotel called Malvadapin Hotel few blocks north.you can buy a room for free"
Alan said.

" Free ?"
Richard asked.

"Yeah. Because people here don't really care about money."
Alan said.

"Well then I will head there. Thank you "
Richard left Alan and headed to the hotel. It was kinda like crooked , haunted hotel from the outside. There was a board with the hotel's name hanging from the roof.

Richard entered the hotel and there was man sitting on an arm chair. Richard walked closer to the man. It sees that he is the hotel owner. He was wearing a Black coat and wearing a belt with keys.

Richard cleared his throat and the hotel owner gave his attention to Richard.

"Yes , can I help you ?"
The man asked politely

" I need a room to stay."
Richard said.

The man pulled out a key from his belt a handed it over to Richard.
" Room 6"

" Thanks "
Richard walked his way to the upper floor and searched for room 6. There was a woman wearing a White dress passed from room 5 to room 13.she looked like a ghost . Richard ignored her and opened the door to room 6. It was a small room with a bed, a sink,a chair and a shower. Richard closed the door and sat down to smoke . He started to write a report about his investigation. Then he tried to call to the police station but the signals were low . So he decided sleep after locking the door.
