Secrets In The Shadows

Chapter XI: Memories

Aaron looked so scared, his face had gone a waxy white colour and his eyes were so wide. I didn't normally make my eyes go red. I only ever did it if I was really angry. Which I most definitely was. "Aaron if you tell us we will be closer to going home and arresting the killer!" I explained. He still said nothing. I sighed and walked away, wishing he would tell me something. The police will be here soon I thought. They would surely arrest me, just for being a vampire. I needed answers, my life depended on it

"Mummy when I'm older I'm going to solve mysteries," A young Maddi said.

"Im sure you will, but remember you need to make the right decisions," Her mother explained "Not only for yourself, but for everyone else involved."

"I'm going to make amazing decisions!" Young Maddi said running around the room.

Her mother laughed, "I'm sure you will."

—————————————— End Of Flash Back————————————

You need to make the right decisions, not only for yourself but for everyone else involved. Those words echoed inside my head. I had to make the right decision. I didn't want to harm an innocent person. I would feel guilty if I arrested the murderer though. What would my mother say. My mother would want me to do what I thought was right but I don't even know what's right and what's wrong anymore.

Sky came over and half hugged me. Her blonde hair fell over my face. "I don't care what everyone else says, I know you didn't kill anyone," she whispered into my ear her breath tickled my ear. "its not in your nature to kill," she continued.

"thanks Sky," I mumbled.

"no problem girl," she replied. We sat there hugging each other for a bit. I had always trusted Sky. We were childhood friends. Well our parents were friends and therefore so were we. She was only one apart from Aaron who knew how my mum died. I trusted her with my life.

I stood up. "We probably need to continue this investigation," I said.

"Agreed, it's getting a bit tiresome," Sky replied. I smiled at her, she smiled back. We walked hand in hand back to the table where we were discussing the evidence. I suddenly had a thought. "Guys who is the person who is not with us?" I asked.

"Lucia," Sky said.

"I think she killed Stephanie because she definitely wasn't a vampire but the body had a hole in it presumably by a knife,"

Aaron went really pale. "You knew that didn't you Aaron," I said

"She said if I told anyone she would kill you," he said nervously.

"She wouldn't be able to, I'm a vampire," I explained " I have inhuman abilities,"

"That still doesn't solve who killed Cassandra," A girl said.

"Yeah on her neck were definitely bite marks from a vampire," a another said.

"Guys that wasn't me," I said "I was doing karaoke with Aaron,"

"Wait so you mean," Moon said

"There is another vampire at this party."
