[color=f49ac2]"Oh my god. Oh my god. He's been murdered... Oh my god..."[/color] Ruby whispered to herself, standing in front of Luc's house. [color=f49ac2]"I can't believe it... Who... Why..."[/color] She was scared. Very, very scared. She remembered the murderer back in Spain, when she was but a little girl. There was a man who would kidnap children and murder them, leaving them in a mass grave under an oak tree. Her mother didn't let Ruby out of her sight for months. Eventually they caught the man, but at least 10 children were found in the grave.

Ruby was drawn from her thoughts by more people wandering up to the crime scene. A few women were crying, and the children were confused and nervous, fidgeting as their fathers tried to block their view of the body. Indeed, it was a gruesome sight. The axe had provided a useful weapon for whoever did this. It had probably killed him almost instantly. Ruby hoped it hadn't hurt the poor man. She felt a wave of emotion and did her best to stay brave, but knowing someone had been murdered in the village she lived in was a hard thing to swallow.

[color=a187be]"Who did this? Who could have done this!?"[/color] Ruby heard the cries of a few hysterical people, and she was worried about what was to come. There would be a trial, and everyone would be considered a potential killer. She hated things like that. People would accuse friends, even family. Everyone would become an enemy. She worried for her mother and her brother, who she knew would more than likely lock themselves away in the house until the killer was found. She pondered doing that herself, but she refused to let herself. She could not hide away during a time like this. What if more people were killed? Sure, Luc could have been a one off, perhaps a form of revenge from some angered soul, but what if it was a crazed murderer? What if it was like the child killer from Spain? No, she had to help the others. She did not want another person dying. She took one last look at the body, and tears began to fall. She couldn't stand to look. She turned away.
