Mindless Killer

Chapter 11: Shh... The Truth's Out

The truths are always hidden.

Truths and Lies are just like a web, woven into a thick sticky ball.

No matter how hard you try, you can't help but to get stuck to it and never separate them.

I saw it...

I saw him...

He was crying, crying so hard, so badly... He was talking to me. He was speaking so softly... He was trying, trying so desperately. I want to hold him. I want to smooth out those worried lines... I want to tell him it's all okay, it's alright. But I hesitated... Why? Why did I pause? Why did I stop?

Daniel stared at me. He sniffed back the last tears. He held back. Before he left, he hugged me. So tightly yet so tenderly. "I love you." he whispered.

"NO!!!" Kate screamed. Kendall jerked awake from Kate's side, cuddling her against his chest. "It's alright, it's alright darling..." he whispered gently, patting her head. Kate cried and cried, her chest felt tight and she couldn't breathe. Somehow, she knew something wasn't right... That nightmare she had were so real... So vivid....

Did it happened?

If it did, why couldn't she remember?

It's probably just a dream...

Boris hands were trembling. It haven't stop ever since Marine died. Cold sweat broke through his whole body whenever he thought about her... Her death, her disappearance and how everyone reacted. He clenched his hands angrily. Fist away his fear and looked at the house in front of him.

There was something that felt wrong... Something... That he can't explain, neither can he say out loud... His suspicion... His guilt... And most of all, his lies....

He needed to talk to Kate and Kendall. He needed to know and prove that he was wrong.

"I am sorry but my sister and I can't see you now. We are still in grieve." Kendall said, after he saw Boris standing in front of the door. "I need to talk to Kate urgently. I just need to ask her about somethings. Please. It's important!" Boris pleaded, grabbing onto Kendall's arm.

He was in no mood for Boris craziness. Neither was he interested to entertain him. He pushed Boris backwards and tried to slam the door shut. Yet it was stopped by Boris' leg.

"Get me to Kate! Tell her I am here to see her! Tell her it's about Daniel!" he shouted wildly. "Shut up! You don't even have the rights to speak his name!" Kate cried walking out of her room.

Her eyes and nose were so red as if she was crying for a very long time. Her hair was a bedraggled sight, in a mess. She looked so pale and tired, every breath she took seemed to take so much effort. It was worse when she spoke again, her whole body shudders. "It was you. All along it was you. I know it is! If it wasn't you, why would Daniel admit such a heinous act that was done by you?!"

"It wasn't me Kate! I admit, I did cause Kendall to be send away but I did not kill the janitor. And neither did Boris. The three of us were not around there remember?" Boris explained, pushing his way into the house. "Shut up Boris!" Kendall hissed.

"What?" Kate sniffled. "Yes Kate, do you remember?" Boris murmured, moving towards Kate ignoring Kendall's obvious anger. "What? Why? Why can't I remember?"

It was as if her whole brain was throbbing with realization.... Of that night....

"Let's go Kat, we can't stay here for long. Someone might be still around." Ariel said, staring at her red nail polish.
