Secrets

Chapter Eleven- The betrayal of all betrayals

The killer text us this morning, I had been avoiding Stacey all day and told her I was going to my mums. I KNEW she would never agree to me meeting this weirdo. I had too!!! Our secret we thought was buried with Lauren clearly someone else knew it. We could never risk anyone finding out. We would be in so much trouble and we would lose EVERYTHING. I lost Lauren (maybe), Dani, Chlo and I cannot lose another thing.

I met with Jess in Loggies and we spent hours and hours going over who it could be, our strategy plans, how to keep us safe whilst finding out who it is and shutting them down. Eventually, my phone pinged as we were sitting on the wooden log bench and the trees started swaying around us. The sky was becoming dark and I grabbed out my phone 'Last chance there won't be another warning' I looked at Jess as she was reading the text on my screen "Enough!!" She shouted and jumped to her feet, her black wedges moving little stones across the floor and I jumped up to follow her as she stormed towards the gate crunching the stones as she stomped away, her black coat swaying behind her, her light blonde hair flowing in the wind. 

We walked up to where we used to play as children, the woods. We knew through these woods we would find the killer, only would we be lucky enough to figure out who it is and actually do something about it? or is this our end? I huffed out loud and Jess looked at me as we stepped over branches "Sorry, it's just I always was the realistic out of us and realistically we are walking into a death trap. We are meeting with our friends killer" I said slowly and the realism of the situation dawned on me "Oh my. JESS! we can't do this!" I said and faced her, my converse becoming tangled on some lose branches "Jess.. we need to leave" I said and Jess breathed "We can't Jade. If anyone-" She went to finish and I cut in getting agitated "If anyone what? its either that or death Jess, I know which one I would pick" I said and turned around to leave but stalled when I see someone standing there staring straight at us a clown mask on their face, sharp teeth pointing and making no movements toward us. I gasped and grabbed Jess's arm "The killer" I whispered and pointed forward and Jess let out a huge high pitched scream "RUN" she shouted and we both ran, towards the garage, just as we were running and trying not to trip over the branches I noticed the garages coming into site, surrounded by woods "THEY ARE HEARDING US HERE LIKE A BUNCH OF COWS!" I shouted and Jess didn't answer just kept running and running and eventually, we were in the middle of the garages.

The garages were in a row, 3 of them. Peeling and rusting and the buildings crumbling. We spun around "There's no way out, just trees" I said and Jess laughed sarcastically "Obviously! we knew it would be, what now?" She said as we were looking eagerly for a garage to hide in. One of the garages the furthest one away, had the door half way open "There!!" I shouted and pointed and we both ran for it. We got into the garage and slammed the door shut. It was silent apart from our heavy breathing and then the light flicked on. Me and Jess jumped backwards towards the door and my eyes scanned the room, taking in everything I was seeing, the pictures of us, the dolls that clearly was us, everything and then- "CHLOE?!" I shouted but as she looked at me, she had horror in her eyes, next to her was a person, in a hooded jumper facing their back to us and I gasped "But? the killer was-" I said and there was a laugh. One that we knew all too well.
