Where Your Secrets Hide

SECRET 26

After minutes, we finally arrived the area.

I get out of the car and ask Henry to meet me in a restaurant near at school, so he drove pass me and leave me alone here.

I look around to find my car and when I did, I wlak towards it when I saw Austin car too, so I stop walking towards my car, instead, I wlak towards Austin car.

I need to find out what is his secret, so if he can blackmail me, I can blackmail him back.

After approaching his car, I look inside if there is something interesting, but there is none.

But just before I leave his car, I saw a box on the driver's seat.

And it is not just an ordinary box, it is a pregnancy kit box.

"Did he pregnant someone?" I asks to myself when Austin called my name.

"Now you wanted to steal my car?" He said so I immeidtely walk distance away form his car. "I am not. I am just trying to destroy it so there will be an accident." I said and smiled at him and walk away from him. "What is it you really want huh?" He asks me so I stop wlaking and face him. "What I want? I want you to suffer, I want to uncover the truth about Chase, and I want to know..." I stop and walk towards him. "Where your secrets hide." Is aid and leave him there hanging and went to my car to ride it.

I leave him there standing, seeing him following my car with his own sight.

"If I can't have a proof, I will make a proof." I whispered to myself.

I know what you are thinking, I am bad, I am desperate.

And yes you are right. I am so desppeerate to find who is C, because finding C is the only way for me to clean my name, for me to kill my guilt about what I did.

If it wasn't because of me, maybe Chase would still be alive right now, but no, He died if I am not being childish that time.

You see, the only thing that can prove that Austin is C, is to have an evidence, and I think that the words I heard from him, is enough evidence, or maybe not really enough.

But that is a proof that he has something to do with Cahse death, I can feel it, I can sense it to my own bones.

After eating lunch with Henry we decided to get home in our separate ways.

After I arrive my house, I changed my clothes and stared to the mirror.

"Jackson, get it all together, one wrong step and I'll be damned forever." I tlak to myself like it is going to answer me back. I inhale deeply before I leave my room. I said it to myself since I am doing a lot of stupid things for justice, and I don't want to end up just like him, even though I am the reason why it happened, I just don't want to end up dead.

As I leave my room, I had this sense that someone is standing behind me so I force myself to look back and there was no one there.

I remember him again, the shadow in the hospital before those strange things happened, I cann see it, looking right at me.

Is this my punishment? Ghost and spirits are haunting me?

Like literally, I got possessed by a ghost, I mean, what does that even mean?

So I just ignored my senses and chilled my self on my living room.

Hours had passed I heard a glass crack from the distance so I woke myself up from sleeping. I didn't notice that I fall asleep while watching a television.

The house is dark and the only light that is supporting the whole house is from the TV.

It is so weird that the TV is static and there is nothing playing there, so I stood up to close the TV and to turn the lights on when I heard a footstep from upstairs.

I got shocked when I heard the footstep, knowing that I am home alone.

I immediately get a knife from my kitchen to protect my self from whoever that person upstairs, it could be a robber, a murderer, or C.

And to be honest I am more scared to C than any other criminals out there.

I slowly wlak upstairs without opening any lights so I can't warn whoever that is that I am here.

I keep walking and walking and prepare myself to attack, and when I arrive upstairs, I was shocked on what I just saw.

The walls are covered in blood and the floor has a scratch like from a big claw.

"You did this to me! You killed me!" Someone shouted, a girl deep voice that echoed around my head shouted.

I turn around to see who that is, and it was a red headed girl with blood on her self, wearing a bloody white dress with water dripping down from her hair. She is barefoot with a dirty black feet.

"YOU KILLED ME!" She shouted and run towards me to attack. Luckily, I'm alert so I avoided her but unlucky is that I fall on the ground and drop the knife somewhere.

If this is real and not a dream, who the hell is this woman and how did she come into my house??

I have a lot of questions.

I touches my head when I felt a sticky liquid on my forehead, only to find out that my head is bleeding.

I look up when her feet is on my sight in front of me, and that's when I saw her bloody face with it's burning skin.

She has no lips, but she has eyes, a dark pale eyes looking straight right at me.

"YOU KILL ME! AND I WILL KILL YOU!" She said and in just a blonk, I can feel her choking me.

Her hands are too hot for my neck to burn.

Her skin is so rough that if you are overreacting, you're going to think that it will cut your skin because of her roughness.

She keep pressing me on the ground while still choking me and I could feel my breath being taken away.

I tried to escape by crawling back while lying on the ground, but she is to heavy for me to stay there.

I tried to fight back, I tried to push her hands away from my neck, but she is just to hot too handle and to rough to touch. She is like a burning hell.

But just before my breathe got taken away, someone pulled me from the side and that's when I saw Henry's worrying face that is looking at me.

I suddenly stood up and get some air while holding my neck and aggressively look around only to find out that everything is normal, there are no blood on the ground and on the wall, everything looks like my home, my house, normal.

"Are you alright Jackson?" I was shocked to hear Henry's mom voice behind me.

That's when I saw some of my neighbors that is looking at me with their worried face.

And I got confuse at this right very moment on what is happening.

"What the hell happened?" I asks Henry. "That is what I should ask you, what happened here?" He asks and he point out at the wall behind him.

My eyes widened after seeing what is written on my wall.

'JACKSON HALL IS A MURDERER'

"Wha-" I didn't finish my words since I don't know what to say. I am speechless at this moment.

I went downstairs where some of my neighbors asks me if I am alright.

I look around my living room to process what happened here.

Everything is a mess, the TV is shattered, the tables are destroyed, the walls are scratch by like a big claw, the glass are all broken.

Like something poltergeist happened.

But I couldn't remember anything.

Did I do this? Did I make this mess?

What the hell is happening to me?

Every weird ghost events that is happening to me, started after I thought I am the one who killed Chase, The day of the game night.

I don't know if that was my conscience playing with my own mind, or is it because I felt guilty? Or because I really am the one who killed Chase, or maybe because I was being haunted by Chase spirit...

But, if Chase is haunting me, why a girl with the red hair is the one who is attacking me and not Chase?

That's when I realized, that...

It wasn't Chase who is chasing me, it was Lucy Sable...

The witch is the one who is haunting me...

But up until now, I have no idea why.
