The Search For Truth

The Last Whisper Of The Flame

The Last Whisper Of The Flame

Nov 22, 2025

Nathan Ashcroft

Walking out of the forest, he threw his gloves and mask on the ground before walking right into the grocery store and grabbing the cashier by the back of the neck and slamming his head right onto the counter, which broke the man's jaw instantly, making him let out a loud scream of pain, which was quickly muffled by Nathan, who immediately pushed a bottle of alcohol into the man's mouth before lifting the cashier's head off the counter for a second before slamming it again as hard as he could right back onto it, which pushed the bottle right into the man's throat, making him gag and vomit right into his mouth, which slowly made him choke on his own stuff... Nathan walked around the now bloody counter and kneeled down over the man as he grabbed a lighter out of his pocket and lit it. The man's mouth and throat immediately caught fire. Despite the man's thrashing, screaming, and muttered pleading, he was already dead. Nathan cocked his head to the side slowly as he simply watched the man die before him without showing any emotions. Nathan was pissed off at the world and wanted to show it. He didn't care about his own rules anymore.

He wanted to spill blood.

He didn't even bother to wipe the blood off his suit as he walked around the counter again and started walking toward the two horrified coworkers at the end of the store. They were old... Nathan paused as he read the man on the left's tag. Ellis Craine, huh?... That didn't ring a bell... After all. Brooks never had told him back then, and now that Brooks had died at Clive's hands...he would never be able to tell him who Ellis was. But. His name did not matter to Nathan. He was just another corpse to add. He grabbed a small pipe from the shelf and swung it at Ellis's head, who quickly dodged. But his coworker never saw it coming; he didn't have the time to dodge, and the pipe slammed right across his temple, which sent him crashing onto the shelf, making it fall as he fell unconscious. Ashcroft would deal with him later. His cold eyes looked back over at Ellis before dropping the pipe. Ellis's eyes widened.

He felt a form of relief. Was he sparing him? On the contrary. He wanted to do it by hand. Nathan gripped the man by the neck and slammed him on the ground before battering him with punches. It felt like Bricks was hitting him over and over until it went black, never to rise again. Nathan gently stood up in his usual coldness before walking over to the knife aisles and opening one as he quickly returned to the two workers.

He kneeled over to the unconscious man and lifted him up by his collar. He paused for a second to read over his nametag. Rowan Craine...? Were those two brothers...? He glanced down at their hands and cocked his head. Ah...he expelled out of his mouth gently. They were married. Good to know gay rights is a thing here... Death won't do them apart, thankfully... It will only bring them closer. The blade of the knife plunged deeply into Rowan's neck as it tore through his jugular. Nathan withdrew the blade before gently putting it back onto the hook he had taken it from.

As he expected, Sirens approached as the call that Maeve had placed had finally done something. He let out a small sigh and walked out of the store with his hands high. What took them so long... Did Maeve call someone else before calling the cops? ... It didn't matter anymore. The kills were all going to be placed on him. Marc, Tom, Alfie, Joseph, and the teacher. The cops would definitely sentence him to death... Oh well. He had his fun. He got onto his knees and turned around as he prepared to be cuffed.

Maeve Ardenfall

Maeve looked over at the student she had called over, William. He was a great friend of Alfie. So She had felt like it would be right to tell him everything. However, everything seemed to go wrong as soon as he heard the sirens. Maeve tried to grab his hands as he ran past her and appeared out of the est. In his rage, he ran straight for one of the cops and grabbed their gun right off their holster and took aim at the kneeling man before him. Maeve quickly followed out of the forest and froze as she heard two gunshots.

She glanced at the ground and froze as she saw William coughing up blood. The cops had shot him in the neck as soon as they saw him pull a gun and aim at someone. She collapsed to her knees as the cops ordered her to do so. Her eyes widened as she saw a small pendant clutched in the dying William's hand. She gently grabbed it and froze as she saw its content. It was a picture of Alfie. William had a crush on Alfie... I suppose that explains why he did this... She glanced over at where she expected Nathan to be but froze as she saw him slump over on the ground. He wasn't moving. Blood was pooling out around his body. Fuck...In the same fucking day...She had lost her teacher and five of her classmates... What the hell...

Maeve let herself be cuffed and brought back to the police station for the night, not like she had much of a choice. She was present on the scene of a crime. She sat in an empty cell. Alone. It was so damn cold. But she did not care... She was too sleepy and traumatized to care. She wanted to have something else to think about... As if time itself was in her favor, A loud ripple broke through the sky and resonated throughout the whole world. A huge boom of energy coming out of nowhere, as if it had come from the past. She peeked out of her cell window and noticed a huge light from Marai island. She had to know what was happening all the way over there. This was her goal now...

Fuck school. She wanted to explore.
