And you are the master

A horrible new swept the town... There was some maniac attacking the town.... They couldn't make a profile. He attacked at random; however, he always did his job in the forest.

It started with a cheerleader from Kate's dad school. She was found butchered in the forest, her wounds matching a bladed weapon, so it was impossible for an animal to do it.

Next was a man. He was found dangling from a tree. The curious thing is that he was stuck in the branches, so either it was a botched suicide or someone trying to get rid of the body.

Next was Travis. He was found eviscerated in a plastic bag on the branch of a tree.

But what hurt Kate the most... Her dear friend was gone. His house was burned down to the foundation. Burned down until nothing living remained. She was devastated... She was really devastated. Although the police only found the boy's parents, they could never found the boy himself. They say he must have run away... But for some reason... "Don't try to run, that's just part of the fun"

Kate was depressed, she stopped attending church. She continued this way for four Sundays, until Pastor Kane was intrigued enough to go check. He was paying her a visit; when he arrived, he started knocking on the door, but as time passed he was growing impatient, until he started banging on the door like a madman.

Kate was excited, she ran to her door shouting "Wait! I'm going!" When she arrived, she found the pastor and a kitten on his hands. She was sad at first.... "I was expecting someone else" She said. The pastor, using his authoritarian but kind voice... “Remember... Our Lord always has good places... Surely, your little friend must be on one of those." The kitty tried to play with Kate; it seemed desperate to be with her... But it only remembered Kate of Travis, so she turned it down.
 
Concerning the pastor's words, Kate could only hear the boy's song inside her head. The pastor looked puzzled for a second, before resuming his serious persona. Seeing that he wasn't making any progress, the pastor leaved Kate with a warning.

"Never, but never... Let the darkness in, Princess" Said the holy man, taking the kitty with him. The animal would meow constantly... But Kate waved him goodbye before closing her door.
