She knows - A Ziggy and Nick story

Finding the truth.

My vision and is hazy and disoriented. I open my eyes, and see I'm still in the cave. I look down to see I strapped to a chair. My legs bound to the chairs', and my hand tied behind back.  A piece of cloth tied around my face and in my mouth, preventing me from talking.

I look up to see Nick sitting in a chair. I attempt to scream but a hand strikes my mouth.

"We need you stay calm. Please." Will removes his hand, removes the cloth, and walks over to the empty chair to the left of Nick. Nick simply leans back on the chair.

"Hello Ziggy.", said Nick too casually, "How are you?"

"Pretty shit. You?"

" Well I was doing ok until you went through the door and came into cave."

He leans forward in his chair. Not breaking eye contact. "We  just need answers. Zigs. Like for starters..." he sat again. back again..."how did you find the door?"

"I-I um.... It was.... Open. While I was looking for the bathroom." I gulped. I didn't know why I lied. I guess I was scared to tell

Will furrowed his eyebrows. "Well that's bullshit. That door closes by itself."

Nick raised an eyebrow. "Honesty is your ticket out of here."

"I was finding the bathroom, then I found your library. Attempted to hide in said library and read. I dropped my book behind the chair. Went to pick it. Saw the door. Went down. Happy?"

I talked so fast my mouth hurt. Will had a slight smirk. Nick sat calmly.

"Ok. Say I believe you. What happened when you got in the cave?."

"I don't know, I walked around......found the candles and the witches mark. And....the book. Saw that. Read the bookmarked page. Got up to leave. Got hit in the head."

Nick sighed. "So you know a decent amount. Wonderful."

Nick gets up and gets on one knee in front of me. "Listen Ziggy. Your not gonna tell anyone-"

"Says who?"

"Says the person who get your mom killed in under an hour."

My jaw hit the floor. He wouldn't do that. Would he?
I was in pure shock. He didn't look remorseful at his phrase at all.

"You wouldn't dare.", I say with danger in my voice.

Nick smiles, "Oh I would dare....only if you told anybody." His smile turns into a smirk.

I choke back tears. "You're......a monster."

He tucks a piece of hair behind my ear. "I'm not a monster......I'm a Goode."

Nick gets up and walks out of the caves area. Will at his tail.

"You're just gonna leave me down here?"

"Just until we know you can be trusted."

They begin to walk out. I was looking down. Hopeless. What the hell do I do now?

"Oh, and Ziggy?" I look up at his smirking face. "Happy Birthday."

And then they were gone. I try to wiggle my way out of my restraints, but nothing seemed to work. So I sob.

I wish this was all a bad dream. That I would wake up tomorrow. Safe at home. In my bed. Reading Judy Blume. But no. I cry in a dark cave...

With the knowledge that Nick Goode is the liar the killed my sister.
