Where Your Secrets Hide

SECRET 72

After that horrible accidents in the hospital, the officer allowed us to go home ebcasue they don't want us to the investigation site since they are going to start investigating everything, they are going to see if the bombings that happened to my room is connected to this murders in our town, if the bomb has a connection to the Westhood killer.

The police are starting to keep an eye to me, because they knew that something like that is going to happen to me again, if I wasn't being followed by a cops or if I wasn't being seen by those who can proetect me. Because they are sure that the next time the person who tries tp kill me, will be successful next time he tried to pull a trigger on me.

And they don't want that to happen, becase I am only a teenager.

They want me to be safe, they want me to be saved.

I don't know if that really is the goal of them, or they just want to caugh the killer?

I mean, I want them to caugh the killer themselves, I want them to caught the WestHood killer, but I can't let them do in a justicial punishment.

Because I want to punishe himself, if he was C, he will regret making me a target nor avicitm.

Because I am no a victim, I am no a weakness, I am not a target to be played with.

He will regret having that decision towards me, I will make sure he will regret it.

Days had come and I am ready to go back to school.

By the way, speaking of school, Sarah Wood is being questioned about the bombings that happened days ago, in the hospital where she tried to kill me with a freaking explosion cake, a real exploasion, a bomb one.

She said that the cake doesn't have any explosion inside, but they didn't believe her story, so the police are trying to track where she brought the cake, or did she made it herself, they are tracking every moves she makes that day, trying to solve the case.

And she was being stucked in the police station.

And obviouclsy, her hero daddy, Mason Wood, run coming on the station and paid thos officer to let Sara Go.

But no matter how much money you have, unless they have an evidence that she is the one who did it, then money can't save her.

Nad I can't wait for that to happen.

Another thing that happened this past few days, is that they gave me a card, they gave me an ID that I only need to show them for me to go back to the hotel where I ma staying.

The curfew is still on going in our town, the curfew.

Andd after that bombings, there were no next victim that the WestHood killer killed.

There were no bodies, no murders, no secrets, it's like the town went back to normal again, but no, it wasn't baack to normal.

Because you could feel, I could feel the fear of the people living there, I could feel the anger and sadness that they are having in that town, the anger.

Specially to those parents, to those families who lose someone because of the WestHood killer.

Up until now, they have no idea, no clues who is the man beind the mask, no one knows who this WestHood killer is.

They are not close to the truth, no one is.

Even me, even though I tried to help Deteective Portman to get Herny a justice.

I mena, how could I solve this case when the poice couldn't even solve it.

And the fact that they are much older than me, shows me that I have no possibilities of percent that I could olve this case.

But no matter what happens, I will ifnd that killer, I will find C.

Oh by the way, speaking of C, he wasn't showing me any creepy messages not like before, the last text or the last message he send me is the one saying that He wanted me to feel what it's like to be in hell and that it wasn't his intention to hurt Katharina, like that person is watching us from outside our room.

Because how could she know right?

Sergeant Gerald still in coma, and there were no ghost disturbing me.

Like the twon went back to it's normal again.

No gjost, no murders, no violence.

No noise.

Just nothing.

An Empty streets even at day.

It's like a ghost town, it's like we are in an apocalypse.

No one tried to get outside. No one.

I took a deep sigh and look at the mirror, I went there and stared to myself and smiled.

This room is free, I have nothing to worry about in any expenses.

But I am still thinking aabout the job that Katharinaa's dad gave t me.

I still haven't accepted it.

And because I have a lot of reasons why I don't want to get that oojob and at the same time, why I want that job to me.

First reason is, I don't know what the works is, and that Katharina herself is so worried about me, that she thinks that I wil be in danger and that I cannot handle it.

I don''t what that work is, but I am alright with anything, in fact I am curious about it.

But still, some part of me are scared of what that work is.

But the value of money that I can get in a week is a big opportunity for me to make a new life.

A new life!

And I cannot deny it, but I love it.

I will do anything I can, juat to have that large of money.

No matter how hard the work is, no matter how many blood I lost is.

That money is worth it.

Just imagine, in 3 months, I am going to have a million dollars.

So why can't I accept it?

Well, the answer is, I don't know.

Because I am still thinking about it.

My phone rang and that's when I stop looking and staring at myself in the mirror.

I look to my phone and it was no oher than Kthairna asking if where I am. If I'm already at school.

I just ignored it since I am lazy to go and replied to her.

Once again, I look back on the mirror and smiled.

The scar on my forehead when Austin broke the mirror using my head is a little bit of a tattoo. It's like a design, a remembrance of me being awaken. If before they could pull me, step on me, bully me.

Now, whoever touches me without any permission, will be the next victim of that freaking WestHood killer.

The phone rang again and it was no other than Katharina again.

I mean, the only person who calls me everyday is no other than Kthairna, so I know it was her.

I picked up the phone and answer her in my sweet tone.

"Hi? Sorry I am literally busy right now... Why are you calling me?" I asks him while getting all my stuff that I needed for school and putting it inside my bag.

"I'm sorry if I disturbed you. I just want you to know that I am here outside your room." She said that makes my eyes widend because of the shockness that she gave to me. "What? You are in what? Outside my room?" I repeated the exact same words she told me. "Yes.. I am sorry. I don't want to knock since I didin't heard any noise coming from inside so I am assuming if you are inside or not, so I called you to confirm it." She said. "I am inside my room, the bedroom. Wait me there, Ill open the door just... give me one second while I am wearing my shoes." I said and hung up on her.

While I am wearing my shoes, all the books that I just put inside my bag fell off from inside.

"Ugh." I said in my irritated tone.

I kneel down to get all the books when I touches our Math book.

The same math that I am teaching Chase two years ago.

"You've tutored my brother and he said that you are good. So I am asking you a favor if you could tutor me too."

I remember what Jake asks me the first time we saw each toher that day, in Mr. Holland's room, office.

Up until now, I haven't answered him, I havet answered his favor.

Because I don't know the answer, I don't what what will be my answer, if it will be yes or no.

Then I realized that Katharina is still waiting for me outside my hotel room when I heard a knock from outside.

I immediately put the book insdie my bag and opened my bedroom door when a cold air greeted me, like someone just passes through me.

The hair in my skin stood up.

And I don't know why.

"Jackson?" I heard her called me.

I started to walk and my surrounding started to change, like Im in a movie, a psychology horror movie wher the palce changes.

I look around, and I don't know what is happening, I don't know what is happening to me. It's been so long ever since I had a hallucination like this, I had no idea what is going on. I don't know what is happening, it felt like I am in a familiar place.

Like I've been here before.

From my hotel room, it changes into me being in the woods.

It wasn't the woods form our town, I am not familiar with this place, where I'm at, I am not familiar when it comes on the look of the woods.

But the feeling is very familiar, like...

Part of me been here before.

The nights starts to echoed the thunder and the rain starts pouring down.

While the rain starts to pour down, I heard a running steps towards me, not just one, but so many.

"get her!" I heard a man shouted and from a distance not too far away from here, I can see an orange light, like the light is coming from a fire.

"BROTHER! Help me. I am begging you." My hair stood up as soon as someone touches my aram and force me to turn the other way.

My eyes widened as I saw the woman who is holding my hands.

She has a red hair, a beautiful face, a slim sexy body, and wearing a white dress with bare footed.

She is...
