• Incident Reflection:

It was another day at the office. I, a very efficient detective, was moving onto the next case after solving the last one. My memory drifts back to the last case...

The victim was attacked with claws. We ruled it out as a bear attack. But something about my partner's behavior lingered in my mind. She’s usually calm, sarcastic, a chain-smoker with a wild mind. But she hadn’t smoked at all. And the sarcasm? Gone.

(DETECTIVE'S PARTNER CLAIRE: LINK)

The case I’m handed now? It’s about the deputy commissioner’s daughter. She ran away from home. Shot down several people. No motive, just a massacre.

According to her father, it began the night her mother returned home. She killed her mother... but she kept saying it wasn’t her mother at all.

• Anonymous Tip-Off:

I received an anonymous tip. She’d strike next at a strip club. My partner was to cover the alleyway, I’d take the floor inside. Time passed and the silence on the comms was... eerie. Then came the sound that sent goosebumps through me, inhuman yet human, a scream... No... A growl??? What was going on!?

I forced my way through the crowd. People yelling, partying. Unaware of the Chaos. The alleyway came into view. My partner was slumped against the wall bleeding, barely moving.

And then my eyes flickered to her. The suspect. Standing over the body, smiling at me.

“What took you so long?” she said, gun still pointed down. “Do you know how hard it was to keep her alive?”

I yelled for her to drop her weapon. She looked amused... and raised her hands. And then... My partner moved. She lunged.

My partner Lunged? She was shot in the head, but she's moving!? No human should survive that. Her mouth opened... unnaturally wide. Her nails turned to claws.

(WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE: LINK)

The girl, Elise, fired two rounds. The creature stumbled, then dropped.

“Surprised?” she asked. She smirked, watching my face turn to horror.

A satisfied smile curved her lips. "I'm not crazy," she whispered almost to herself. As if my reaction somehow validated her actions. She pulled her gun wielded hand back and pressed it against her forehead before she chuckled, she was delighted? "Of course. Why was I doubting myself...? If they weren’t monsters..." Her gaze lingered on the corpse. "...I’d actually be a mass murderer."

"You were going to arrest me,” she continued, “but now you’ve seen the truth. Would you really jail a citizen who saved your life? How would you even explain it?” “Your partner was a monster.”

I was paralyzed. Not with fear, with understanding.

CREATOR NOTES:

OK, first and foremost, apologies for my late uploads. I was working on a 500 followers special bot... I don't know how you guys do it, and I don't know if I deserve it, but I'm grateful and happy that you think I deserve the follow. Thank you, I love all of you.

But... there's a teeny tiny problem... I need a bit more time to finish the 500 special bot, but for a sneak peek, here are some images.

• Rosalyn | Red head knight (Multiple characters)

• Tio (Yes, finally a prequel solo bot for Tio)

• Ember Vale

There's also my personal life that's been very hectic. I'm dealing with things, so please forgive me for my turtle-Ahh ass.

But I'll do my best.
