Marcia Caldwell: Paranormal Private Investigator

Suspiciously Happy Girls

added by TransforMarv 2 years ago O Mental

The problem was her younger sister Cindy, who according to Christine underwent a sudden personality change for no apparent reason. One day she was a normal highschool student growing increasingly worried about her finals, the next all her worries seemingly vanished and she walked around with a constant smile on her face. Despite immediately noticing that something was off about her sister Christine chalked it off as a consequence of stress. But with each passing day, where she only saw Cindy with that smile, her anxiety grew until she came to you. She described it as if something had been taken from her and replaced by something unnatural. Over your years as an investigator you had learned that the smallest change can be the omen for something much bigger, so you agreed to help her.

The following days you spent following Cindy from the shadows. The girl herself didn't offer much, pretty much just commuting between school and home. And all the time she was smiling. You agreed with Christine’s assessment, something was off with it. But she wasn't the only one. At least at school she spent pretty much every possible second with another constantly smiling girl, who you later found out was her best friend Tammy and that her weird behaviour started at the same time as Cindy’s.

Thankfully a friend within the school’s faculty allowed you to question some of their classmates, giving you a potential breakthrough. Both girls recently seemed interested in a certain rumor going around school about a mysterious person that could take all your sorrows and worries away and give you everlasting happiness by making you “whole”. As rumors have it, the details varied wildly, but the most consistent infos you got were that this person, who sounds more and more like a cult leader to you, was walking around in completely white clothes and required people to come to them in pairs, otherwise they would find a “suitable partner” for you themselves.

And this is where it gets murky. Nobody had clear information on how they accomplished that. The theories ranged from the person taking from your partner what you need to “be complete”, no matter if physically or mentally, and sharing it with you and vice versa, to connecting your mind to a higher being.

You were certain that this must in some way be connected to Cindy’s strange behaviour and that you had to find this mystery person as soon as possible to get to the bottom of this. As fortune would have it you found a student that also considered going to this mystery person and pried out of her the supposed current location of them.

The sun had already begun to set as you reached the address you were told, a small, empty warehouse in a surprisingly not so bad area of town. Of course you couldn't just enter through the main entrance, so with a little help of your telekinetic abilities you made your way towards an open window on an upper floor. Luckily this gave you a good vantage point from which you could watch everything, while being well hidden yourself. You saw a few people standing in a circle. On the faces you could make out you spotted the same unsettling smiles. This was looking more and more like a cult.

Standing in their middle was who you assumed to be their leader and your target. Unfortunately you couldn't make out their face or even gender from your current position. But you could see them having long white hair and wearing a meticulous, white pantsuit. You considered dropping down and confronting them immediately, but quickly dismissed it. Without knowing what exactly their powers are and how they work you’d be at a dangerous disadvantage.

This might change however, as you heard the heavy doors of the warehouse opening. If you were lucky enough you could be about to get a first row view of their abilities. It might be unfair towards whatever poor soul was about to enter, but you had come to terms with having to make sacrifices a long time ago. The new person finally entered yourview and you could see it was…
