Deception

Alucard

You just moved into your new apartment, in a very big city. After a year of this life, you have almost given up hope of making any friends; be it at work or any other means. Every time you get close to someone and show the real you they recoil in fear or think you weird. You feel very lonely. After looking for a peaceful place to spend your time, you find a quiet diner on the outskirts of town. It may be small and dingy but it is homey. The waitress is very attractive. Also, she seems to be the only employee there, ever. You never see anyone else eat there either, ever. The place is perfect for you. Secluded and someone willing to acknowledge you.

The more you visit the more you acquaint yourself with the Waitress. You become close, you've made your only friend. Making love to her becomes a routine. You go there every night for dinner, and then to see her.

You eventually make other friends, and eat at the diner less and less. The waitress begins to slip your mind more and more with every passing day. After some time you stop going completely.

At a bar with your best friend, you tell him about the fun you had with the waitress at the diner. How in a time of disparity she was there. He says he absolutely must see her. You think why not, I owe her an apology anyways. You take him there one night, but the building is in a state of ruin. Windows bordered up, cars rusted over. The front door barely opens. Your friend looks at you funny. You look back more surprised than he is. The grimy insides of the diner are disgusting, and, behind the counter, is a moldy corpse, reeking of pus and rot.

When the police come to the scene, they interview both you and your friend. You are shocked to hear that the body is of a runaway girl from another province. You find a twinge of remembrance. You grew up there. You think why you even moved here in the fist place. The police tell you this is a homicide, and that she was also raped dozens of times, after she was killed. The police say they can get a match for DNA and eliminate you as a suspect. You are suddenly very worried.
