Where Your Secrets Hide

SECRET 88

"What do you want? A normal chicken wings? A spicy one? The cripy one or those flavored chicken wings?" Cahse asks me while we are in this restaurant for us to take our lunch. He wanted to treat me food, so he does.

And I love chicken so much that I choses this since he told me that I should be the one who should be pikcing the restaurant where we cna eat.

"I want those flavored ones." I said andsmiled. He look at my eyes and smiled. I could feel the connection just by looking at his eyes.

I don't need to look to his face to rememebr him, I just needs to look at his eyes, and boom, I will remembr him.

Becasue one day if I meet his brother, his twin brother Jake. If I become confuse on who is Chase ebtween the tow of them, I just had to look to their eyes to tell who I loved, I mean, to tell who is Chase.

"You want those flavored ones?" he repeated what I just said and I smiled and nodded.

I tried to make an expression, the cute ones to convince him to pick me thos eone.

Because he like sspicy food, and I am different to him, I don't want spicy food, I just one a honey butter one.

Because honey reminded of my loves one. My mom, my dad...

And him.

Honey is sweet.

And feeling loved and giving loved is sweet.

And every time I taste a honey, it reminded of the love that I needded to have and needdeed to give.

"Okay. What flavor do you want?" He sks me and smiled becasue of enjoyment. "No one knew this... But my favorite flavor is Honey. Becasue honey means love, becasue love is sweet." I said. "But love also gives a bitterness. Not always sweet. Because too much sweet can drive you so bad." Ehhs aid and he lean his face toward me like he is going to kiss me, because I could feel and smell his breathe.

"Just chicken love, I mean, just chicken honey butter wings is what I want." I said and pushes his face away from me.

And that is the sweetest, well, the last sweetest moment we had...

Before he died.

Before he was murdered... By me.

"Everything is alright to you JAckson?" I look to him, to Jake, I tried to focus on looking at his eyes, but I can't. His eyes are so much alike to Chase that I could feel that he is Chase. But I am only feeling and seeing that is becasue I misses him so much.

Yes, I do misses him so much, I miss Chase Carter.

"What's worng?" HE asks me that makes my other freidns stop eating and just looks at me.

"Nothing... It's just..." I wanted to say that I misses Chase but I can't. Becasue no one knew that Chase and I a re together that time.

"How'd you know that my favorite is Chicken Honey butter wings?" I asks him and he smiled and avoided an eye contact like he is trying to avoid the answer to my quesiton.

"I just figured it out myself. I just saw you like sweet things, flavors and foods. Yoou don''t like spicy, my brother told me that, so I just had an instincts that HOney butter chicken wings is your favorite." HE explains and I just nodded.

He is good at information, and lying. Because could tell that he is not telling me something, something truth.

I felt like he knows something..

Ugh, why do I have to make it as a big deal? It is just a chicken.

"So tell me Jckson, hows the interview for netflix?" JAke asks me trying to chage the topic...

I mean, do we even have one?

"it's nice, except for the fact that I almost drop dead because I had a panicked attacked, and before the camera exploded in front of me." is aid and started eating the chicken. "Yeah, I heard you say get away from the camera just before the camera epxloded... I mean how did you know?" Jonna asks me. "Instincts." My simple answer to ehr simple question.

"Can I asks a quesion?" We all look to Carlaa when she talks.

She looks at me but she is trying her best to avoid having an eye contact with me.

"Why dd you have a panicked attacked? I mean, what triggers it? What cuases it?" SHe asks out of curiousity. I take a deep sigh and smiled.

"i found something very interesting about my past. They have given a proof of it... that it exist. I just don't know where..." My voice faded as I remmeber now where it was palced!

Where the tunnel connects to our house!

They said thaat the tunnel leads them to a room inside a house.

And I now know and remember what they are trying to tel me.

That tunnel connects to my roomm, inside my wardrobe!

The doorknob that I touches when the time I am getting all of my clothes out form my house after the fire for me to moved to the Caliesto's house.

"What is it? What did they found about your past?" Vick asks me with his curious voice. "Back then, in 1887, when the very first serial killer arrives our town.. They found a way in on how the killer is getting away... It was a long tunnel from the underground of our town. No one knows who did that tunnel or how it was made and when... So they search the whole tunnel and only one house was connected to that tunnel." I stop and I could see their reaciton, every piece of reactions like they want me to continue. "It was my house... My house that the WestHood kiler burned down. They say that they ofund the tunnel connected to my house inside a one room in their. At first they thoguht, it was juts another connection for the WestHood killer to escape, but no. What they found is very extra ordianary."

I stop and I tried to remember the photos inside the room, the ones thaat they shot.

"It was full of photos of that person murdered. And a picture of Lucy Sable was everywhere."

YEs, I saw her picutres everywhere.

"Hey! Do not tell the witch's name! Jonna stops me, shushing me becasue I said the witch name, but is she? "How do you know if she is a witch?" I asks her and she looks at me with ehr conuse face. "BEcasue that is what they say, thats what's the history said." She said. "What if the history iis wrong?" I asks her. "How can be a histroy be wrong?" She asks while I could see her confusion. We stop debating to each other when Vick asks something.

"Does that mean that... The WestHood killer form 1887, is your relatives?" He asks and I slowly look back at him with my ashamed. I slowly nodded as I answer his questions. "But who?" HE added. "I don't know really... No one knew right? The last thing that I saw on that folder is a room with full of pictures of Lucy, and then I felt dizzy and that was the last thing I saw." I answered.

I could feel that they are all off after I confess that. I know what they are all thinking, that I am the killer. But, I cant deny it, what are they going to think right? I have a relatives that is a serial killer.

"You should ask what happened next after they found the tunnel." I look to Jake who suggested an idea that will kill me immediately. "How? And who? And when and where?" I asks him a lot of things, I am curious too, but how can I do that? I don't just want to show up and say, hey, can I see the files on how my relatives killed those humans? Duh.

"Detective Portman. He works in the police station, plus he is the father of your bestfriend Henry. I think he will be glad helping you." He said. "hoow did you know that Detective Portman and Henry are connected and related to each other?" I asks him.

I remember that Henry told everyone that his father is gone to everyone, so how could he know that simple infomrtaion?

"Wait, what? Celiesto is the surname of Detective Portman right? And Henry's surname is Caliesto too, same with detective portman. Isn't it obvoius?" He said. "Wait what? Detective Portman and Henry are related? Henry's father is detective portman? Why did I know that?" carla ask to me.

I slide a look to CArla and put it back to Jake again

"that is what I am talking about. No one knows about it..." I said.

I could hear that Vick and Jonna are talking about them didn't know that Henry's father is detective Portmaan.

"What the hell is wrong with you Jackson?" He asks me that makes me confuse. "What do you mean what is wrong with me?" I asks him. "Why do I felt like you are questioning my knowledge about your town and the people here?" He asks. "Becasue you shouldnt be the one who should be knowing that? Lok, you just spent your day here in WestHood town for months and you know every single details about everyone.. How?" I asks him that makes Vick and Jonna stop talking and just focuses to both of us.

I can feel that Jake is being annoyed from what I am telling towards him. I felt that he is becoming ucomfortable.

"I lived here Jackson! It doesnt mean that I studied here in your school for months mean I only lived here for months! My fmaily lives here, my twin lives ehre! I lived here! Of course I know everything! What do you expect for me huh? That I cannot know what you know? That you are special when it comes on knowing everyone?" he shouted that makes him get everyone's attention that is here in the cafeteria. "It is not like that Chase! I mean Jake! s**t! You know what? I am out." I said and stood up from the chair and wlak away from them. I could ehre that they are calling my name but I did not hesistate to look back nor to go back htere.

I don't know what is happening to me too, I just felt so full right now.

Maybe it is becasue my head felt so ehavy that I cannot reproduce any decisions.

I went inside the bathroom and there I spent my whole time sitting on a toilet inside a cubicle.

I don't know what is ahppening to me. Evrything is just too much for me. All these happenings? Events? Katahirna leaving for chicago wihtout telling me? One of my relatives is a westhood killer? Chase been ahunting me? Me missing Chase and me being guilty for Henry? Georgina telling me that they are killing becasue of me? And that the killings are not done? Lucy been following me?

I felt so occupied!

And I don't know what I should be doing about that.

"you should not be stressing yourself..." I was shocked when I heard a voice coming from outside the cubicle. And it was not a voice of a man, but a voice of a girl.

I slowly opened the cubicle and there she was...

The student who looks exactly like Lucy Sbale.

I don't know if she looks like Lucy Sbale, or she is Lucy Sable.

"Lucy Sable?" I asks her that and she smiled. "Vanessa Dean actually. But I'm a sable." She said and she turned around from me and washes her hands. I could see from the reflection of the mirror that she is looking to me, right into me while she is washing ehr hands. "You know, you really are the first person who recognize my great great great grandmother Lucy." She said. "is it ebcasue she is haunting you?" She said that makes my hair from my body stood up. "What do you mean ahunting me?" I asks her. "I heard stories thaat they call her a witch and once you said her name, she will haunt you down. And As I look to you every moment annd you stared back at me, I could feel that you are terrified, so I am guessing that she'd haunt you that makes you reminded my face to her." She said. "I am the only red headed girl in this town. Everyone thought I am Lucy nor connected to the Sable... but no one was sure about that... Except for you." She said and after that, she closes the faucet thaat she used to washed her hands. She dried it with paple towel and faces me.

I look around and I could see that no one was in here exceppt for the both of us.

"Why are you following me?" I asks her. "I just want to make sure that... Never mind." She said and she walks away from me. "See you next time Jackson." She said just before she opened the door of the bathroom and went outside.

I don't know what happened, but I felt scared but at the same time relieved, since now I know that shge wasn't Lucy at all...

She was, Vanessa Sable Dean.

But who is she? Why is she here? What is she doing ehre?

What does she wants to make sure towards me? I don't get it.
