Investigation.

Listen to everything.

Find out all their secrets.

Don’t trust anyone.

Ask questions, don’t so anything either of them tells me.

Don’t tell them anything.

Keep a camera, piece of paper, pen, and firearm wherever I go, especially with one of them.

If they manage to outsmart me, I will have evidence.

Whoever finds my body with know who killed me.

Chapter 17 of 26

Who’s The Killer and Who’s The Soulmate?

It’s the first day of summer and I walked out of my home to breathe the fresh air. I walked to the gate and a man and a woman walk up to me.

“Hey, kiddo. Long time, no see.” The man said as he smiled.

The woman had a killer’s look but I didn’t know for sure if it was her to kill someone. I recognized the voice to be Dayton’s voice from my 4th grade class. He always called me a kiddo. I smiled and hugged him with a big grin.

“Hey, Dayton. I have missed you. When did you get back from Dallas, Texas? Who’s the woman next to you?” I asked curious.

“Just last week. This is Rommie. What are you doing out, Trance?” He asked.

“I am out here to get some fresh air. Want to walk to the park?” I said with excitement.

“I would like that. Rommie, would you like to come along?” Dayton asked her.

“Ugh, No way. I have some planning to do.” Rommie said as she walked away.

Dayton and I shrugged. We walked to the park and talked until it started getting dark. Then, we walked all the way back to my house. We got to my house and he walked me to my front porch.

“Hey, I believe that everyone has two soulmates. You are one of mine and I am one of yours. Anyways, see you around, kiddo.” Dayton said as he smiled and left.

I blushed and headed inside my home. I went up the stairs to the second floor and saw a flash of light from my window. I walked over and looked through it. I saw the flash of light again and saw Rommie at work on something. I shrugged and went to bed.

Next morning, I got up and went to my window to see if Rommie was still working on something.

‘Hmmm, maybe she’s out with Dayton.’ I thought to myself as I headed downstairs. I made me some breakfast and headed outside. I saw Dayton waiting for me at the gate to my yard.

“Hey, Dayton. What are you doing here?” I asked as I opened the gate and looked at him.

“I just thought, maybe you would like to come hang at my house with my friends here in a couple of hours.” Dayton offered.

“Sure. After I get ready. I will be there.” I said with a smile.

“See you then.” Dayton said as he fixed his collar on his jacket and walked away.

Once he was out of sight, I walked over to Rommie's house and knocked on the door. I got no answer. I checked the door handle and it was unlocked. I opened the door and walked in. I saw pictures of me everywhere. When I mean everywhere, I mean, on the floor, ceiling, fridge and on a dart board with a knife through my picture. That is when I knew Rommie was out to kill me. I headed up the stairs to see a machine gun that was modified into a knife thrower. I backed away from it and headed back downstairs. I started picking up the pictures off the floor. I saw a paper on the floor and I picked it up. I read it out loud since no one was there.

"Trance ******, Kill her because, I can't read the rest because it is smeared everywhere. I can read part of the signature. Snor---- Kill---roo. Snorkeel Killudaroo. Oh, no. I know him. He was in a few of my classes last year. This isn't good." I said concerned.

"Looks like you found what I meant when I said I had some planning to do." Rommie said as she startled me.

"I... I am so sorry. I wanted to see what you were making last night. Now, that I have seen it, can I go back home?" I pleaded as she grabbed a knife off the kitchen counter.

"I cannot allow you to do that. You know to much and I shall kill you." She said with a wicked smiled.

I ran passed her and she sliced my arm. I held my arm and started running. I ran out the door and she ran after me. I ran to Dayton's house and knocked on the door as she walked closer and closer.

"Here, Trance, Trance, Trance. Come get what you deserve!" Rommie yelled.

"Dayton!! Open up!! Please, open up. Rommie is after me!!" I yelled as I knocked on the door hard and frequently.

He opened the door and I ran in. He closed the door and looked at me confused.

"Rommie is after me. She is going to kill me. She plans to kill me. I don't know where and why. I need you to keep me safe, please." I explained quickly as I hunkered into a corner.

"Rommie would never hurt you, kiddo. She is harmless." Dayton said as he walked over to me.

"No, no, no, no, no, no. She is going to kill me. She is the killer, I am the soon to be victim. There she is." I said as I heard her knock on the door.

He went and opened the door to see Rommie with a knife.

"Hey, Dayton. Is the party here and did I bring the right knife?" Rommie asked as she showed him a cake knife.

"Yes, you did. Come in. Trance is already here. I will take the knife and put it in the kitchen for you." Dayton said as he took the cake knife from Rommie.

He took the knife to the kitchen as Rommie walked into the house. Rommie spotted me in the corner and smiled at me. She motioned me out of the corner and I didn't move.

"Leave me alone, you crazy robot!!" I yelled at Rommie as she stepped forward.

"Tch. I wasn't even going to hurt or kill you. You are over reacting. Let's enjoy this hang out and leave it behind us. Dayton is expecting us to be nice." Rommie said as she smiled slightly.

I stood up and stood in the corner. After about 30 minutes passed, everyone else started coming in. I just smiled and talked to all that I knew. Even Chris, Rommie's boyfriend came. I shook his hand and welcomed him in. I looked around for Dayton and saw him pacing in the kitchen. I walked over to him and smiled.

"Hey, Dayton. Why are you pacing?" I asked him with a smile.

"Oh, um. It's nothing really. Just go enjoy yourself." He said nervously.

"Alright, if you say so." I said with a smile.

I walked away and her started pacing again. I walked over to the Stereo and changed the song to Holding onto Fireflies, ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoOmcGNBQUs&index=82&list=PLCNlXno2mIk2oO3v8OBcEu3BawLd5egUI ). He came out and started dancing with me. He got down on one knee and looked at me. Everyone started cheering except for Rommie.

"What are you doing?" I asked him.

"Trance, will you accept my offer of being my one and only bride?" He asked as he pulled a box with an Opal ring in it out and opened it.

I gasped and didn't know what to say. I didn't know if I should say yes or no. 'If I say yes, he will be happy, but I will have to give up some time from my career I am working towards. If I say no, he'll be devistated and I can't let him be unhappy.' I thought to myself.

"I disapprove of this!" Rommie yelled as she pushed me into a wall and grabbed a knife off the table.

She pushed me into the wall and put the knife against my neck. Chris grabbed Rommie's hand and looked at her sincerely. She looked at him angrily.

"What has she done wrong to you?" Chris asked her.

"She... She mocked me in Middle School for a day. She bullied my younger sister, Beka!! She caused me to... to be angry and it is her fault that... that I will never find my soulmate other than Dayton!!" She screamed as she dropped the knife and drops to the floor, crying.

"Hey, you are my soulmate. I can feel it." Chris said as he wiped the tears off her face.

"Are... are you sure?" She asked as I looked at Dayton who was completely surprised by the sudden attack.

Chris nodded and hugged her. I walked over to Dayton and helped him stand up. He brushed off and offered the ring and the marriage again. I nodded yes and smiled. He hugged me and slipped the ring on my hand. Chris and Rommie stood up. Chris offered the same thing and Rommie said yes.

We all lived happily and safely.
