Chapter 2 : Missing Head

She woke up to a familiar white ceiling, the sound of the machine is not new to her.

"You're awake!"

"Mom," she said weakly.

"My baby" her mom started crying, hugging her softly.

"What happened?"

"Can't you remember anything?"

" I remember looking for Paul and.." she wept as she started to remember everything.

"What about Paul?" she asked. She didn't want to believe what she saw yesterday.

"He's....he's gone"

Rebecca shook her head in disbelief.

"No mom that's not true! He's alive mom!" she burst into tears and beg her mom, with her trembling hands she held her moms hand and beg.

" Baby.... he's gone, his-his dead baby"

"NO! He's alive mom! I just have to find him!"

She stood up and remove her dextrose, She almost fell but luckily her mom caught her.

"Rebecca you can't stand up yet, your wound will open again if you move too much"

"NO! I'm going to find my boyfriend mom! What if he's out there waiting for me, bleeding! I-i can't lose him mom, i love him so much"

Her Mom hugged her tightly.

"Paul's dead, the police found his body"

"I don't believe you! he's not dead! I want to talk to the police!"

"They will come here later to question you, so please go back to your bed"

She went back to bed, mom called the doctor to inform them that I'm awake. Minutes passed and the doctor came, They check her pulse and asked questions about how she felt now and she just answer them honestly.

And she found out that she's been sleeping for 3 days, and she lost a lot of blood so they did a blood transfusion.

"How is she doc?" her mom asked the doctor.

"All her test are normal..no damage in her brain, and as long as she's not feeling severe pain in her head, she's okay"

Mom breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, doctor"

"Well it's my job to treat patients"

The doctor left, and she stared at the ceiling, many questions run through her mind.....why her? Why is he doing this to her?

Rebecca closed her eyes because her head suddenly hurt from thoughts that have been on her mind,

After that, she fell asleep again.

She woke up because someone was touching her face and she saw her mom, she smiled sadly... worry is written all over her face.

"Hi," Mom kissed her on the forehead.

"The police were here earlier but you were sleeping so they left but they said that they will come back later"

As if on cue the door opened and the police in uniform entered.

"Good evening Ms. Stuart, we're sorry to bother your rest, we just want to ask some questions regarding the incident with you and your boyfriend on his private island "

Her mom helped her get up from her bed.

"Can i ask what exactly happened that night? " the officer asked her. She took a deep breath.

"W-we were supposed to have a dinner date there, it's our anniversary...i-i..." she can't finish her words, her throat hurts from trying to stop herself from crying.

"I'm sorry sir, i just can't believe this is happening to me again" She bit her lower lip to not cry.

"That's why we need your full cooperation ms. Stuart, this killing needs to stop and I'll do anything to arrest the killer" The cop looked at her with pity.

"Don't look at me like that. I don't need your sympathy, you've been doing that for 20 years now. I want justice "

"We are doing our best to catch the killer Ms. Stuart"

"Then do better" the cops just sign and let her.

"Paul...where is he?" Rebecca asked.

"He's in the morgue, our forensic team is doing an autopsy to discover the cause of his death" When she heard the word morgue it was like her word dissolved, she feel like her sanity's slowly fading.

The cop handed her something, a small box " We found that at Paul's pocket, i think it belongs to you"

She cried helplessly when she open the box, it was a ring....a diamond ring. It was so beautiful.

Mom held her hand " He was going to propose to you, he told me his plans" Her mom hugged her tightly as she cry.

"I'm sorry to say this now but we found the culprit's mark so i think it's the same killer in the previous incident"

"OMG! h-his head is missing?"

"Yes, his body is chopped too and the autopsy says his was alive when his body was chopped " she feel like she's slowly losing strength from what she heard from the police, she also feel her conciousness fading.

"What about the cctv's?" Her mom asked the police.

" We can't find anything in the cctv's. There's nothing in it"

" There's no fingerprints, no evidence....we can't find the weapon too if we can just find something that can lead us to the killer but we can't find anything, it looks like he knows everything"

" He's humming" rebecca said weakly, they all looked at her.

"He's fucking humming! That asshole! I will find him and i will kill him! I swear to any god i will kill that fucking asshole!!" she shouted hystericaly. Her Mom hugged her tightly.

" I will kill him mom, I'll kill him myself" she cried.

"Shhhh my poor baby, we'll find the killer, i promise" she wiped her tears. Her Mom faced the cops.

" Can you continue the investigation on another day? please? She just woke up, I'm afraid that her condition might get worse" the cop nodded.

" We understand Mrs. Stuart, we'll contact you when we find any information or if we need to question her again"

" Thank you sir, please do contact us with any update on the investigation "

After that, the police left. She lay on her bed, and looked at the ring that paul supposed to give her.

" It's my fault that his dead, if he hadn't meet me he wouldn't have died "

" Don't say that! It's not your fault! "

" I don't know what i did wrong with that killer.....why is he doing this to me? Why is he targeting my loved ones? Why not me? I'm so tired mom, for 20 years..20 years mom he's still killing anyone who came close to me" she slowly lost consciousness. She kept on murmuring 'I want this to end, i just want to die.'

Before she lost consciousness she heard her mom mumble something.

"I love you my baby...." Rebecca didn't hear everything she said because she black out.
