Secrets In The Shadows

Chapter VI: Cassandra?

I stood there stunned. Of course I hated Cassandra but I wouldn't kill her. "Th-that wasn't m-me," I stuttered.

"Of course it was you!" The girl sobbed "you killed my best friend,"

"Where's the proof," Aaron asked. The girl looked up at him. She looked terrible, her eyes were red and puffy from crying, her cheeks were tear stained, and here mascara was running down her face. "Follow me," she said, "Only you four," she said pointing at me, Moon, Lucia and Aaron. She started to walk. I just stood there Aaron grabbed my hand and gently pulled me to follow. "Don't worry," he whispered "I know you wouldn't kill her." I gave him a sad smile. Moon squeezed my hand "we both know it wasn't you!" She whispered. Lucia nodded. I felt really bad for the girl. Her best friend just died. We turned the corner and I saw her.

Warning Gore and blood:

Her body was in a pool of blood. The most bloody bit of her was her neck. Blood was dripping out of it and you could see the bite marks where the fangs had plunged into her neck. Her brown hair was covering one of her eyes. But you could see the other one was cloudy grey. A singe tear had rolled down her face. Most likely in her last second of life. Her mouth was open like she was screaming one final scream. I could hear it echoing through my ears though I never heard it. Her red dress was covered in splatters of dried blood . Her mask dyed burgundy. I started to cry. Why would someone do this to another person. Put them through this much pain. For what, there was no self gain in this. This was just a monster. Who shouldn't exist.

"Why are you crying, you did this,"the girl said hugging Cassandra's body. "Cassie please wake up, please let this be a joke."I stood there silent, what was I meant to do. Then everything started to turn into a blur, I started to feel dizzy and my ears started to ring. Then I heard a thud and everything went black.

"It was obviously her!" A girl said.

"I mean she is the ONLY vampire here," another chimed in.

"She needs to be arrested for murder!" Someone shouted. All I could here is arguing and shouting.

"Shut up," I said nobody heard me.

"Shut up," I said louder still nobody heard me.

I was starting to get a headache. I was fuming I hated shouting I didn't like it being loud. I waited to see if they would calm down. They didn't I tried counting to ten it didn't work. That's when I lost it.

"SHUT UP!" I shouted. Everyone went silent. "ALL THIS ARGUING IS GETTING US NOWHERE!" I shouted "WE ARE NOT A SINGLE BIT CLOSER TO KNOWING WHO KILLED CASSANDRA, I KNOW IT WASN'T ME SO IF YOU ARREST ME YOU ARE IDIOTS. I took a breath."SO LETS LISTEN TO EACH OTHER." I was still mad so nobody questioned me or called me a hypocrite for shouting. They just listened to me. We sat down and individual started to say our points and reasons.

We need to solve this case I thought. No matter the consequences
