Riddle Creek

Riddle Creek

0 INK

Riddle Creek is a quiet little town in Maine. The perfect place to clear your head. However, not everything is what it seems. Lurking beneath the surface of normality is a terrible secret.

1,838 readers have visited Riddle Creek since deathfromabove1979 created it.

Introduction

Image

On a cold October morning, the body of a teenage girl is found mutilated in the quiet town of Riddle Creek, Maine. Suddenly, locals are buzzing with theories and everyone is a suspect. Is it a cult? A serial killer?

People continue to go about their everyday lives, trying to ignore their looming paranoia and fear. Yesterday, no one worried about locking their front door before bed. Now, there is a killer hidden within the community and every resident a potential victim.

Toggle Rules

1) No GODmodding. This is a realistic RP

2) Must remain active

3) Serious mature RP so there will be cursing and possibly talk of sex

4) It's a psychological thriller as well as a romance, so there could be descriptions of crime scenes and murders. Just be grown up about it and know what you're getting into.

5) It doesn't have to be PG-13 here but just make sure it makes sense with the storyline.

6) No vampire characters... Please.

7) Have fun!

"I don't mind" Kirby said, waving him over. "My names David Kirby. People just call me Kirby" He explained with a warm smile.

He point in the direction of Oakdale.

"That's Oakdale. I just moved into a house over there" He said.

The boy seemed a bit hesitant to follow them. Maybe he thought something was going on with Violet. Even though Kirby thought she was incredible beautiful, Jonah needed help.

"I'm okay with it. I'm Violet." Violet held out her hand.
She was still nervous to meet new people.
Violet dropped her violin case then it opened up.
She started to put everything back in its case.

"You play Violin too!? No shit!" Kirby exclaimed helping her pick it up.

Violin players were rare to him, and he was excited to see another.

Jonah returned the smile, feeling a little better. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all. "Nice to met you guys." He shifted his bags to one arm, using his free hand to shake Violet's. It was then he noticed the violin and case she was carrying. 'So that's where the music was coming from.' He kept this littl tidbit of information to himself. After all, they'd just met and he really didn't want to come off as creepy. Jonah had had enough of that crap in school. He had to laugh at Kirby's outburst, though. "Aw, man, now I feel left out," he joked.

The smile faded, though, as something continued to nag at the back of his mind. "So," he started, following the other two, "you're both new here, right? You don't know what happened with...?" He nodded his head back toward the crime scene behind them.

"I'm assuming it was murder." Violet told Jonah before she told Kirby," I only know how to play one song by heart".
"We are all newcomers so your not left out all." Violet told Jonah
Violet smiled nervously.

"Murder?" Jonah frowned, not particularly liking that answer. Who would want to murder anyone in a town like this? In a city it'd make sense, but... here? It was too quiet, too... normal for stuff like that.
He shrugged, not wanting to think too much about it. "Well, guess it's not really any of our business, right? Police investigation and all that shit." Still, Jonah he made a mental note to find out more about it from one of the locals. Something just didn't feel right about it.
"So, what brings you guys to Riddle Creek, anyway?"

Violet shook her head.
"Its kind of personal." Violet told Jonah.
"What brings you to Riddle Creek?" Violet asked Jonah.

Inside his head, Jonah was yelling at himself. 'Real smooth, genius.' "Sorry. Guess that's not really any of my business, huh?"

His sheepish grin faded into a scowl as the question was redirected at him. "Oh. Let's just say I have some disagreements with my family. We disagree on whether or not they should disown me." Jonah didn't want to sound bitter, but it wasn't really a subject he wanted to dwell on. Probably should have considered that before he'd asked.

Violet hugged Jonah because she felt his pain.
She didn't know how she felt it.
Violet started to cry as her head started to hurt as she tried to remember.

Jonah was pretty sure he was doing a fabulous impression of a tomato as Violet pulled him into a hug. Then he felt his shirt getting wet and realized she was crying. The boy was at a loss, having had next to no prior experience with girls. Going on instinct, he carefully wrapped his arms around her, trying to console her. "Hey, hey, it's alright. I didn't mean to upset you."

"My head hurts. It hurts to remember"Violet said before she started to remember clips of her life. "Me and parents had a fight... I don't remember what it was about but I was going to run away here for something..." Violet sniffled and she explained that she had amnesia from a car accident.

Jonah listened as she explained, struggling for words. "Violet, I... I had no idea. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought it up." He felt like such and idiot. She was upset because of something he'd said. "I really wish there was something I could do to help..."

Violet shook her head and she said, "It isn't your fault. Its mine."
Violet sat down on a bench nearby.
She sighed and she looked at the moon.

Jonah watched as Violet pulled away and took a seat on the bench, curious now. He sat down next to her, leaving space between them so she wouldn't feel crowded. "I doubt that. Whatever you did, it couldn't have been that bad." She really didn't seem like the type of person who would intentionally harm someone or do something illegal.

Violet started to remember something. Violet said, "I was going to runaway here to live my own life but my parents found out then they disowned me. Then I was drunk driving for emotional reasons. I'm so stupid!" Violet started to cry again while she hid her face behind her hands.

It was eerie, really. How similar there stories were. It seemed like Violet had gotten the worst out of her's, though. Feeling his own eyes start to water, he pulled her close to him, letting the girl cry into his shirt once more. "Shh, it' alright. Everything's gonna be okay now." Jonah swallowed, trying to keep his own tears from falling. "Everything's gonna be okay. I promise."

Violet started sniffle and she said,"You shouldn't hold in your tears. It means to hold your emotions in." Violet saw something from the corner of her eye. "Did you see that?" Violet asked but she didn't pull away from the hug.

In spite of himself, Jonah gave a small, humorless chuckle. "Sometimes it's better to hide your emotions. Keeps you safe." People could do whatever they wanted, just as long as you never gave them the satisfaction of watching you break.

Her question pulled him out of his musings, sparking his curiosity. "See what?" He glanced around, but nothing really stuck out in all of the silence and stillness. "What'd you see?"

"I saw something in the bushes over there..." Violet pointed to the park.
Violet started to get scared.
"What do you think it is?" Violet asked with a nervous tone in her voice as she said that.

"I don't see--" His words were cut off as the leaves rustled, indicating movement. He cocked his eyebrow, squinting at the bush. "Probably just a squirrel or something." The plant rustled again, even more violently. Jonah blinked, a little surprised. "A very big squirrel?"

His thoughts immediately went to the crime scene they'd just left. Murder. Wasn't that what Violet thought it had been? What if she was right? ...And what if whoever was responsible hadn't left? Signalling for the girl to stay where she was, he stood up and slowly approached the bush, grabbing a fallen branch off of the ground just in case. "Hello? Who's there?"

((GAH!! I'm in suspense! I can only guess what it is, but can't write anything because I don't know if you already have something in mind!!!))

Violet stayed there and she heard a rustle again. She saw something jump onto her lap. It was her kitten, Midnight. Violet petted Midnight and she felt Midnight scratch her on her hand. She flinched and she held her hand that had started to bleed a little. Midnight jumped off of her lap. Violet saw a splinter on Midnight's paw. She tried to catch Midnight but she would run away each time she tried to carry her.

Jonah could only stare in disbelief as a tiny black kitten leapt out of the bush and ran straight for Violet. That's what all the fuss was about? Trying to preserve what remained of his dignity, he dropped his "weapon" and grabbed the cat as it bolted past him, picking it up gently. "Easy there, little guy," he chuckled, lifting it up to eye level. He'd always been told he must be a cat person, and not he was starting to think that was an accurate theory. And besides, thekitten was pretty cute.

And injured, apparently. Jonah tracked the blood trickling down his own hand to a splinter in thr cat's paw, not too deep in, but it certainly didn't look comfortable. "Let's see if we can get that out, huh?" Holding the kitten in one arm like one would a baby, he quickly grabbed hold of the splinter and plucked it out. His only reward was to get his hand attacked by kitty claws. Letting out a sharp yelp, he dropped the cat, who landed on it's feet with ease and ran off towards Violet. "Yeah, your welcome," Jonah shot sarcastically, gripping his hand to his chest.

Violet petted Midnight and she got a bandage from her bag. "Midnight always runs away and 50% of the time she gets splinters." Violet wrapped the bandage around Midnight's paw and her hand. Then she walked over to Jonah. Violet wrapped the bandage around Jonah's hand too. "I'm sorry about Midnight's behavior. She only scratches me when there is a splinter in her paw. Also, thank you for helping me." Violet said while she wrapped the bandage around Jonah's hand.

Jonah flinched a little as Violet started wrapping his hand, but the sting faded to a managable throb after a while. He smiled. "Don't mention it. And thanks for the bandage. You'd think with two suitcases and a backpack I'd have a first aid kit." He chuckled as his own poor planning. In his defense, though, he really didn't think he'd need one.

Pulling his hand away once it was wrapped, Jonah grabbed his suitcases. "So, not that that instance of terror is over, you still wanna try and find that music store?"
