Where Your Secrets Hide

SECRET 19

"You're not the only one who got possess, there are 9 people who got possess tonight at the same time, and you are one of them." The Detective said. I look around and I can see the eight people who got Possess lying down on the bed, resting with their family by their side.

"How?" I ask them. "We're still figuring out how it all happened." Detective portman said. "As far as I know, people can only be possessed at night, but it's already 7 in the morning?" I look to Aunt Brenda after she asks that question.

It's already 7 in the morning?

Does that mean, they exorcise me for 4 hours?

If I am right, and I can't even remember what's the last thing I did before I got possess, did I get home? Because everything looks so real... From the police roaming around my house to investing, to Katharina hugging me...

I can't tell what's truth and not.

"Today is really strange day. A lot of things happened just today, from the hospital, to that poor boy's murder, to this poor 9 victims who got possess by a spirit." The Detective said while holding his chin, like he is thinking about some theories or I don't know, just thinking, or he can be confused too, because I am confused too.

The detective is right, a lot of things happened today.

"Could you tell me what's the date today?" I heard a priest said. "It's August 9, why?" The other priest answered. "Now I know why a lot of strange and demonic event happened today." HE answered.

I drink another bottle of water again because I felt thirsty and hungry at the same time, I could feel my stomach burping because of me being hungry.

"Today is the date where that witch lady's body went missing." The Priest said.

I almost got choked on my water when I heard what the Priest said. They all look to me with their concerned faces, except for my uncle who probably very mad at me, or at this situation.

"You mean, Lucy Sable?" I ask them. The three Priest look to each other with their confuse faces. "You know her?" One of the Priests ask and I just nodded for answer. It looks like Detective Portman, and obviously my Uncle and Auntie didn't know who Lucy Sable is.

"How did you know about her? Can you even be allowed to say her name?" The other priest asks me. "My father told me that story when I was young. He said that his family move just after the town was named." I answered. "Maybe that's the reason why these strange things happened tonight because you say her name."

I look to them with my confuse face.

As far as I know, it's not illegal to say a dead person's name...

"What do you mean?" I ask them. I can see that the detective and my relatives are listening carefully to what we are talking, I can feel that they are curious. "Once you call a dead person's name, they can hear it, they always hear it, they are getting out of their graves to find that person who called them, well even you didn't call them and just said their name, they are always thinking that you are calling them so they are always finding that person who said their names, that's why people never say the witch name because once they call her name, she woke up and all the grief and madness inside of her will be awoken. That's why maybe these strange things happened tonight, is because you said her name and she went out to find you, but only causes you trouble." The priest explained. "He is right, if you look to the places where strange things happened tonight, He is there. He is in the hospital, he is in his house, he is in the police station, it means, the witch is following him." The other priest answered. "Does that mean that the one who possess him was Lucy Sable?"

They all look to the youngest priest and they hush him. And his eyes get widened opened because he only realized what he just did.

"Do you really believe in that? Ghost? The witch? Come on. We are not in a Stephen King's book to get involved in these ghost story. Everything has an explanation. What happened to the hospital is just an accident, the power cuts out, and the murder? Someone murdered him, he wasn't killed by a ghost, and what happened in the police station is..." Detective Portman stops and he tries to think an excuse on what happened on the police station. "I did not say that these events tonight are all because of that witch, but if we believe in God, we should believe in evil. Because there's no God if there's no Evil." The other priest said.

"What if you don't believe in God?" We all look to my uncle when he asks that question. HE has a good point, but I don't believe that he don't believe in God. He always pray, he is a God person.

"Even if you don't believe in God, Good and Evil still exist, because our world cannot be world, if everything is Good. Because life isn't just about Good things, but also bad things. We are deeply sorry for what happened to your son, everything will be alright, I am sure God has a planned to all of this."

Just after the priest said that Uncle shouted and cried.

I did not expect these things and personality to him.

"Don't you f*****g dare to say that everything is going to be alright just after my son got murdered! If God, has a plan, it is to f*****g make me feel sad and bad about me being a father!" My uncle yelled. Aunt Brenda calm him down. He is very upset about these things going around here in WestHood. "We went her to visit our Nephew, to see and know if he's alright and if this place is safe for him, but I guess everything we expect about this place is so much worst than being in hell." My uncle added and he started crying.

I know what it feels to lost someone. I lost my mom, my dad, now my cousin. I understand if he is very upset right now. Instead of him being there beside his dead son, he is here taking care of me because I was possess, I don''t even know if I am really possess.

This things don't exist, Lucy Sable maybe exist, but her curse isn't.

"We should probably go." Aunt Brenda said. "Jackson, if you are feeling alright come visit us in the hospital. Please be safe." She added before they leave.

I just take a deep breath and think about these things. Everything happened so fast. I couldn't even process those little things.

I don't know what to believe, I don't know what to say. I don't know what to think. My head is a mess up, even what that ghost said to me in my dreams, she died because of me, what does that supposed to mean?

"We're deeply sorry father about his actions. What happened to their son is tragic and brutal, I understand if he says those things to you and to your God." I heard Detective Portman said. "We understand him too." One of the priest said.

"Do you know why people called Lucy Sable a witch?" My dad asks me.

I nodded.

"Because she pretended to be a good girl but she really is not." I answered.

I saw my dad smiled, but I know that smiled is something.

"Did I get my answer wrong?" I ask.

"Lucy Sable's baby father is the serial killer back then. Because of her, the unknown killer starts killing people. That's why they called her a witch. Not because she is pregnant without her parents knowing, but because she got pregnant by a murderer, and that witch, starts the killings."
