The Buried Secrets 2

Chapter 6

Haley picked the dress of her bed. It was pretty. She walked into her bathroom and took a shower. After she had put on her dress she opened the drawer to see what was inside. "Wow," she said shocked and scared at the same time. A had really gone all out. Inside the drawer was her exact makeup. In fact, it was used the same amount that it had been used at home. She looked in the mirror and wondered when A had the time to do this. When had A snuck into all of their houses and done this? Had she been in the same room as A when she was sleeping? Haley took her mascara out of her drawer and applied it to her eyes. Why bother dressing up for someone who's opinion she didn't give a shit for? She put on some black lipstick, then tied her hair in a braid. Haley stepped back intro her bedroom and looked around. She noticed a camera in the corner that had a small red light blinking on, then off. Haley looked around for anything she could use to attack A if they saw he or she tonight, so she grabbed a shard of glass on the floor. Haley lay down on her head, not wanting to fall asleep in a place so creepy, bur there was nothing to do when her eye drifted asleep. A half an hour later the loud alarm buzzed noise making Haley wake up. She got up and looked around. She door slowly opened and the frame around it lit up. Haley walked out the door and into the hallway. She looked down the hallway and noticed all the other girls in their dresses waiting together for her. She tried to smile for them, but it came out for like a psycho-I'm-about-to-kill-you-smile. 

Savanna made room for her as they all walked down the hallway together. "It's almost like high school prom" she joked. 

The girls laughed. Emily looked at Haley. "You look really good". They all gathered around the room they were in earlier and waited for Maggie to come out. The door opened and Maggie stepped out.

"Wow," Haley and the rest of the girls said together. She looked beautiful. If they were at a normal high school dance, the boys would be slobbering over her. 

"It's almost like old times, huh?" Maggie asked looking at all the girls.

Maggie lead the girls down the bland hallway to the cafeteria. It was decorated with chains hanging from the ceiling, and A's all over the wall. Old music from the fifties was playing, adding to the creepiness of the room. At the far corner of the room was a table full of food. The girls ran over to the table, dying from hunger. Haley grabbed a chocolate doughnut and shoved it in her mouth. Savanna looked around. What was the point of this? There were no people here and nothing to hurt them. Haley sat down at a steel table. "A really tried hard on this" 

Emily nodded and put some salad on a plate. "So do you think they're going to come?"

"Who?" Maggie asked. 

"I don't' know, maybe A?" Emily responded. 

Haley looked around at the girls. "It's actually been really good to catch up with you guys. Even though this isn't the way I would have liked to meet" 

Emily, Savanna, and Quinn nodded. "For once you're not standing right next to Araceli, Ivy, or in your little clique." 

Haley chuckled, but her smile faded. "So who do you guys think A is?"

Quinn sat down at the table. "I don't know if we should be talking about this right now. A is watching us". Maggie nodded. Suddenly a concrete wall on the side of the cafeteria opened. Haley's heart pounded as fog came out of the hole. All the girls huddled together. Suddenly a hooded figure out of the hole. "Holy shit," Haley said and grabbed Savanna's hand. The figure slowly walked towards them and sat down at the table. Haley tried to look at its face, but it was blocked by a mask. A pulled out a pistol and pointed at them.

"Oh my god," Maggie said and backed up to the wall. 

Suddenly a robotic voice came over the speakers in the cafeteria. "Well, well, well girls. So nice to see you. It's been so long."

Haley scowled at the figure. "Who the hell are you?" she asked. The figure tilted it's head.

"I don't think I should be telling you that, in fact, I don't think you want to. I'm actually having a little fun with you girls". The person pulled out a button and pressed it. Suddenly a projection started on the wall. The music cut out and a video started. It looked like it was very old. Haley suddenly realized who it was. It was Maggie. When she was a little girl. A voice started in the video. It was very deep and menacing in a way. 

"If you're watching this then that means Maggie must be with you" 

Maggie looked horrified at the screen almost as if she knew what she was watching. "You see, Maggie was a sweet girl when she was younger. She was smart, cute, and made friends easily. But she had a dark side". Haley kept watching and noticed another young girl come into the film that had a resemblance to Emily. "All of Maggie's friends were sweet too. She brought out the best in people, but also sometimes the worst- but only to people that she didn't like" The video showed Maggie and Emily getting on a swing and blowing bubbles together. 

Haley turned to Maggie. "What is this?" Maggie shrugged. Haley turned back towards the projection but kept her eye on the person. Suddenly Haley noticed someone missing. Quinn was gone. "What did you do to Quinn?!" Haley screamed at the figure. A looked at her and pointed back at the projection. 

Now the projection had switched to another film of Maggie playing on the beach. With a very young Araceli. The girl that they had all tormented. "Maggie was good at keeping secrets; too good. The film you're watching right now is actually one of the best secrets she has kept. One of the deepest, darkest ones that she hasn't ever bothered to share with any of you. The film switched again, but it was still on the beach. Now they were playing by a cliff, with what looked liked another girl and her parents. Suddenly the girl stepped on Maggie and Araceli's sand castle. Maggie threw a piece of sand at the girl and starting walking away with Araceli, but the girl threw a rock at Maggie's head. The girls parents were busy watching the waves crash against the rocks 50 feet below. Suddenly Maggie ran at them and pushed them off. The girl stood there in shock for a moment, but by when she was done Maggie and Araceli were gone. "You see? Maggie never bothered to share this with you. And it's the same with every person. She doesn't actually care about you, girls. You're just another sand castle she can destroy. She'll always throw you under the bus to get herself into trouble. If you get in her way, you're just going to be another set of parents that she pushes of a cliff. Araceli tried to tell, but Maggie stopped her. That's why she hated Araceli so much. That's why she went out of her way to ruin her life as much as she could. And if you get in her way, of findinf out who I am, which she never will then she will do the same to you".
