Chapter 8
[Jesse Finch]
After prom night, the school was deserted, some students sneaked in and try to hang out inside the school for a while, they lose interest in going for school, last prom night, two students we’re killed; Patrick and Princess, the school prince and princess, they were found dead in our classroom, holding each other’s hands, facing each other, lying lifeless on the floor, both their necks we’re slit, and their bathing each other’s blood, their death was very romantic they said, but they don’t know what is behind their death,
Anna, Hugh, and the rest of III- America, took one last look to both of them, and when the police removed Patrick’s suit, and watches, we are all shocked to what we saw, a clock tattoo, the sign we give to the three men that played the very first Hanging Witch,
I know someone killed them, I was currently walking around the school grounds, and noticed that the soil was dug under a mango tree, the same place where Monica and I used to hang out, the daisies we’re pulled from the soil, and they’re withering already, like Monica’s lifeless body, lying in the cemetery, I went to it, and knelt in the ground where the daisies used to grow, I noticed something, a box, a wooden box, that has a rose with an eye on it, I know it’s something that Monica owns, it’s her weird favourite symbol,
I opened it and found nothing, I turn it upside down, but nothing fell from it, I tried to look for another opening, but nothing happened, I look under it, and saw her name, carved boldly in black, I touch it for a while, it’s her favourite thing to do when we’re elementary, the same way she used to carved our names in a tree, and in the walls of our houses, then I throw it out of the blue, I was one of the reasons why she killed herself, I was the reason why we started the game, immature, little brats, that’s what I am,
Then, I cried, I was so selfish, I was very foolish, I should be the one they’ll bully if I told them the truth, but because of my selfishness, I pushed my best friend to a crime she did not commit, I was a fool, I’m very desperate to belong in this section, and I even tried to ignore her, because she is weird, I don’t want to be bullied too, I’m such a fool…
I look to the box, and saw something opened under it I immediately went to it, and saw a piece of paper, I unfolded it, saw a letter;
“I’m not the real witch in the game, I fooled everyone, and I’m happy I fooled you, too, you think you’re the winner already? You’re wrong my dear, you are in grave danger, be prepared,”
My whole body stiffen, Monica said, she fooled everyone, does that also mean, she wasn’t dead, I have to know who is doing this sort of things, as I stand up, someone whistled at me, I looked around, and saw someone hiding behind the tree, a girl maybe, I went near it, and saw Jezebel, “What are you doing here?” I asked, looking at her directly in the eyes, “I-I-I n-need to tell y-you something,” she said, she was shaking, she was nervous, she is scared, and “What was it?” I asked, “It’s about how Princess and Patrick died, Patrick killed Princess, I saw it,” Jezebel said,
“But why?” I asked, before Francis approached us…
[Jezebel]
I have to tell someone it’s him, he killed them, Francis killed them, and they thought he is too innocent to kill someone, but he already killed two, and if I’m right, he also killed the others, why would he kill them? Is he too obsessed to Monica? And he did all the killing for her, to take revenge, but how could he do it? He need somebody, to help him in his revenge, why would he waste time, taking revenge?
