It had showed up on the news quite a bit in the last few months. In the alleys near their homes, the bodies of men and/or women were discovered, having been brutally slaughtered by an unknown assailant. Usually, it was clear that whoever did this made the victims suffer. First, a blow to the throat, strong enough to damage their vocal chords and silence them. Then, they're slashed repeatedly with some sort of edged weapon. Often, but not always, one or two limbs were severed, but the final cause of death was always the same. Once the assailant had felt they're victims suffered enough, they'd slit their throats, ending both their agony and their lives. As one can imagine, finding such bodies was never very pleasant.
Needless to say, the police was doing everything they could to put an end to these brutal slaughterings, but it was to no avail. Eventually, some highly skilled detectives were brought in, and they were the ones to figure out one particular detail. Each of the victims had children, and there was evidence of substantial abuse and/or neglect by the victim. So, obviously, what they had on their hands was some crazed vigilante going around and "punishing" bad parents. However, that was all they could figure out. The killer never left behind any clues as to who they were. On the extremely rare occasion that there were witnesses, usually the spouse or child of the victim, they were too traumatized to say anything coherent, let alone provide any clues to who was responsible for the murder.
Now, it was happening again. A scream could be heard coming from one of the alleys...that was a mistake on Adriel's part. She should have silenced both of her victims at once. Instead, she went after the male first, causing his wife to scream upon witnessing the brutal murder of her husband. Almost instantly, she regretted it, as there was probably going to be someone rushing over to see what was going on. But there was nothing to do about it now. So instead, she continued with her business. First, she used the handle of the knife to crush her throat...just enough so that she'd be unable to speak, but still allow her to breathe. Barely, but still able. Then, she began hacking away at the woman with her knife, a look of glee as the woman made a feeble attempt to flee, only to end up writhing in agony as the girl slashed away.
