My Detective Novel Chapter 1

“no it was really interesting, it makes it a lot more easy to believe the things you say when I know the background history you come from” he smiled kindly “and to be honest I don’t think mingling with vampires is such a crime” he wanted her to be happy, she actually seemed quite depressed about the vampire fact “I have quite a colourful history” she grinned at him
“Don’t we all?” he muttered
“true, true but that’s not my point, you might have been in a situation where you’ve had to let someone die to solve a case, but only criminals and people who are about to be executed soon but I'm a protector I follow my heart and protect those close to me, I’ve killed more people than you might imagine” the nasty glint in her eye he expected wasn’t there she looked quite solemn he felt sorry for her “that must be hard, I mean choosing to kill someone, I'm only asking and you don’t have to answer but, have you ever made the choice to save someone close to you but had to kill someone that would cause a lot of other people suffer?” she looked at him, it was obvious she felt uncomfortable but he held her stare “yes, yes I have several times, I'm a selfish person, a lot of the time I just think to myself that I'm not the one in the position of the people who would have the loss, I have sacrificed the lives of people I know though, I'm not that selfish that ill save someone if it’ll be a counter-benefit to a lot of people ill normally find a way to get revenge though, for putting me in that situation and to respect the dead persons memory” he could have sworn he saw a tear in her eye “I knew a nymph, nymphs are male elves nixies are female elves, he was called Nethal we didn’t know each other long but we became really close, like best friends, but like the rest of my friends he was murdered by some invisible force, I have some ideas of who might be behind these murders but I’ve never come to a certain conclusion it’s a case I'm still yet to solve” it was obvious she and this Nethal were close the way she spoke about him was so soft, so kind this was a side he hadn’t encountered yet, the nice kind side, god she had a lot of personalities, maybe she had some sort of personality disorder, her mood did tend to switch suddenly “wait a sec I’m sorry I know I asked but we’re not here to talk about your background history, this isn’t an interrogation, look we’ve figured out pretty much everything about our killer but we still need a name and face to pin to her” he said frowning
