chapter 1 [book “Feared”]

Nyctophobia is an extreme fear of night or darkness that can cause intense symptoms of anxiety and depression. A fear becomes a phobia when it's excessive, irrational, or impacts your day-to-day life. Being afraid of the dark often starts in childhood and is viewed as a normal part of development.

It was 3 AM and honestly, Gray wasn't in the best mood.

I mean if you were woken up in the middle of the night and told to go investigate random murder while you spent  last 12 hours doing paperwork you'd be irritated too, no?

Gray noticed yellow police lines and they realized that they've reached the crime scene.

It was a dark alley of the street where barely anyone passes by, most of the murders occurre in places like this after all so Gray wasn't very surprised about it.

same can't be told about the body though, it was nothing like a typical dead body.

A body of a young woman leaned in the corner of a building and at first glance, it was almost impossible to tell that girl was dead since the body looked like the woman was standing.

There were no cuts or shots on her body, no blood or anything so the cause of death was harder to identify.

Though when Gray looked closer they froze on spot.

The girl's whole body was covered with black cracks, it started from her completely black eyes.

Gray instinctively took a step back, they couldn't think of what would cause a poor girl to look like that.

maybe it was poison? but they have never heard of poison with similar effects.

Gray sighed, poor girl most likely had suffered a lot, they could tell from the horror imprinted on her face.

Gray then took a deep breath and got ahold of their emotions.

They leaned closer toward the body and began to closely observe it.

The girl was wearing a neon green tracksuit so she was either jogging or relaxing at home, considering the time they found her and the fact that she wasn't wearing running shoes it was most likely the latter version.

Let's say she was relaxing at home, judging from the earrings she was wearing, she was most likely from a wealthy family, yet instead of relaxing at home in a richer part of the city which was here, most likely something scared her, causing her to run several kilometres in the middle of the night.

what in the world scared her so much?

As the detective looked closely they noticed that there was a weird symbol on the girl's hand, a triangle with two lines coming from corners, those lines were splitting in four then.

it somehow reminded Gray of a deer's skull. Gray made a quick sketch of it to look it up later, maybe it was somehow connected to killer.

Gray then walked up to the nearby police officer_ do we have to know who she was?_ they asked.

the police officer turned back, visibly startled by the detective's voice -ah, y-yes, her name was kai wood, she was one of the major sale's manager's George wood's wife...they have a 3 years old boy - police officer said as he gave Gray a paper with an address written on it.

Gray took the paper as they smiled at the police officer -good job, you can go and rest now...well at least try to rest_they said awkwardly.

The police officer nodded as he immediately left the crime scene, visibly relieved with the fact that he wouldn't have to see the body again.

Gray sighed as he looked at the address: summer avenue N1035. they made sure to remember it.

since 3 AM isn't a suitable time for visiting someone Gray decided to look up the information about the symbol first thus they sat in the car and drove off, going towards the nearby library.

Their friend was a worker there so they hoped that their friend would allow them to do some research even if it was 3 AM.

Gray's hope turned out to be true and they managed to convenience their friend to open the library "little" earlier.

Gray spent few hours digging in different books, they managed to find books explaining similar symbols in the mythology section so they couldn't help but already feel sceptical about it.

As they reached to grab a book from a top shelf another book fell down, hitting their shoulder as the detective couldn't help but a yelp from pain.

they looked at the book that fell down and their eyes widened as they saw the symbol they were looking for.

As they opened the book few articles that were most likely cut out from old newspapers fell from the book, there were cases two other murders described in them, bodies of both victims were unnaturally damaged, one was covered in holes and another one looked like it felt down from at least 50th floor even tho there weren't any building taller than two floors in that town or anywhere nearby and both victims had same weird symbol imprinted on their arms.

Gray's eyes widened, if all this information was right then they were most likely dealing with serial murders.

they decided that they'd visit the first two murder places later tomorrow after they'd pay kai wood's family a visit.

Gray took the book and went back home. knowing that they wouldn't be able to fall asleep they opened the book and began to read it.

The book spoke about a creature without a name that represented fears. it was told to be the origin of all fears.

it had no stabile look, it took shapes of things that the person in front of it feared the most, thus it got a nickname Feared.

it was said that Feared was testing a person who summoned it and if they passed its test, feared would take away their fears forever and grant them a wish.

the book didn't say what happened to those who failed. Gray laughed, everything felt like they were in some sort of a horror book. monsters? demons? Gray didn't believe in shit like that.

they thought that the killer was a mentally ill person who thought that they were a creature called Feared or that they were following that creature's will.

by the time the sun had risen detective had already finished the whole book. Gray decided to cook themself breakfast till they'd leave.

One thing that can't be said about Gray is that they're a good cook. they caused a fire while frying an egg few months ago.

Yeah, instant noodles aren't the most healthy breakfast but that was the maximum of the detective's cooking abilities.

After finishing their breakfast Gray grabbed their keys and went out to first grab some coffee and then go pay Wood's family a visit.

He followed the navigator's instructions and ended up in front of a beautiful white house that looked like a house straight out of '80s sitcoms.

Gray sighed as they got out of the car, walking towards the door slowly. they hated informing people about the death of their loved ones. I mean who wouldn't hate it?

Gray took a deep breath as they knocked at the door and a middle-aged man with glasses opened it, adorable blonde boy was hiding behind him while looking at Gray curiously.

_hello, mister Wood my name is Gray Blackheart, I've come here regarding your wife_they said.

George's eyes widened in shock as he stepped back_come in please_he said as he gave his child to a servant standing next to him.

_take him upstairs please_he said as he walked towards the living room_this way please- he told Gray.

George sat down on a couch as he looked at Gray nervously, deep in his heart he knew that Kai was dead but there was still some hope living in his heart.

_so...tell me detective...what happened to my wife?-he asked.

Gray sighed _ we found her body today, around by 3AM in suburbs of the city, we think that she was murdered_they said.

Georgie looked at Gray with a gaze full of pain as he teared up_ my wife...my beautiful wife_he muttered.

_what was she doing in suburbs and in the middle of the night too..._he asked.

Gray sighed_ I was hoping that you'd answer me on that question_they said.

George shook his head _ no...I don't know anything about it, I was on a business trip for the last two days and our son...Jeremy...he was staying with grandparents_ he said.

_so she was alone..._detective muttered as they wrote it all down in a notebook.

George nodded _yes, I believe she was planning to watch new series of some..Amine or whatever_he muttered.

Gray sighed_ I'll do my best to find the killer mister wood, I know it won't bring your wife back but still...it's a relief when you know that person, causing all of this pain is being punished for their actions, that they won't be able to harm anyone else_they said.

Georgia looked at them for a few seconds_are you perhaps telling me this from your experience?_he asked.

Gray looked at him surprised before they smiled, thought this smile looked rather sad.

_yes... it was a long time ago but nevertheless...the pain only gets weaker, it doesn't disappear completely_they said as they got up with a sigh.

_well then it's time for me to go now, please feel free to call me if you'll ever need help with anything-they said and gave them their business card.

After that conversation, Gray searched up kai's room and didn't found anything interesting except the same book they found in the library.

There were the same newspaper articles inside, thus Gray concluded that the best option would be going in that town and look up to those murders since they were visibly connected.

The detective said goodbye to Mr. woods, sat in the car and drove off, going towards a small town called springhills.
