The Town of Frostwallow

Chapter 9: "How did you even get out?"

SEIGE'S POV

"Why am I even in here?" I asked as the policeman held me captive inside the interrogation room. "I didn't even do anything to Kimmie Ryle? I even have an alibi the night or day that she got murdered. I have my parents and friends to do that-"

"You never shut up do you?" The policeman said as he looked at me in the eye. "You never learn, Carson."

He looked me straight in the eye and then I remember who he is. The eyes were the giveaway. His hair color changed, his nose changed, even his lips.

"What the fuck are you doing here?" I swore and hushed my tone before looking at the camera.

"It's nice to see you too," he said before he caught me looking at the camera again. "Oh don't worry, the camera isn't working. Your town couldn't afford to buy a proper one," he said and sat on the chair. My hands were handcuffed on the table making it hard for me to move.

"What do you want, Benjamin?" I asked through gritted teeth.

"I want you to suffer," he laughed. "See, you made me suffer in jail for what you did."

"It was an accident-"

"You should've told them!!" He yelled. "If you told them, then I wouldn't have spent my 3 years in jail."

"How did you even get out? You should be spending 25 years in jail!" I exclaimed but he slammed his palms on the table.

"You think I'm stupid? You think I'm not capable of doing things in the movies? Well you're wrong Carson. I can do anything I want specially that my parents are gone," he smiled wickedly.

"What? You stole from your parents?" I questioned.

"You don't have to steal from the dead," he raised his eyebrows making me realize what he's done.

"You're a horrible person!"

"You think I don't know that?" He laughed and folded his arms. "Now you're gonna admit that you did murder Kimmie Ryle or your friends get to know what you really are, a lying, awful, wanna be, who thinks that she can change who she was before just by moving to a different town."

I thought for a moment before answering. Do I really want my friends to know my past?

"I'll give you time to think, I'll be back in 20 minutes," he said and I let him leave the room before I took my phone from my pocket and ending the voice record.

I sent the whole audio to the girls and added a message, "I'll explain later, but right now, please find a way to contact my dad and tell him I'm captive by Benjamin."

I sent the message and stared at the two way mirror. I sighed as I remembered what happened four years ago.

"Do you really have to go, Ben?" I pouted and he smiled.

"I do. But you know you could always come with me," he said and kissed my nose.

"Are you sure it's necessary for you to leave?" I groaned and he laughed before hugging me.

"I'm sorry, but I really do. I'm based at Easthaven, chief Pope said it's gonna be a big deal for me since I'd be ranked as a High Police officer there."

"Well, okay.. I'll still try to come with you. What time do you leave town?"

"Probably later tonight, at like, 9pm? Why?" He asked and hugged me closer.

"Nothing, just asking so I know when to sneak out."

"My girl is such a rebel huh?" He smiled.

"I know."

Even if Ben and I have seven years in age gap, he still makes me feel different among the guys in my age. I may be a minor, but I think Ben really does love me.

We met at the graduation of their class in college last year since my dad was the one who gave a congratulatory speech. I was thirteen and he was twenty one. I never thought he'd go for a girl like me, specially that I'm just that young and innocent. He was the one who achieved the highest score which made him and dad talk after the graduation since my dad was amazed by his performance. My dad introduced me to Ben which made me feel great specially when he greeted me with open arms, not literally, I mean he's just a nice guy right from the start.

We exchanged numbers and eventually found each other sneaking out at night just to go on dates. My parents found out about us and they weren't close as to being happy about our situation, dad could've had him in jail already but I talked to him and told him that Ben is actually nice and wouldn't be hurting me in any way.

Up until now my parents aren't in favor of my decision of dating him but it's okay. Even if he's leaving tonight, I still find it nice of Ben to think about his future and me included in it.

Night cane and as if the odds were on my side, My parents left for a convention, some event my dad has to be in and my mom's his date of course. My brother was out with his girlfriend so it wasn't hard to sneak out and go to Ben's house.

"You're coming?" He smiled widely as I ran towards him with by backpack filled with clothes.

"I am, actually. Mind if I tag along?"

"I wouldn't! I don't mind at all," he smiled and kissed my lips before we got inside his car and drove away from our town.

It was already in the middle of the night when we decided that we should have a stop over at the nearest gas station.

I left the car before walking inside the mini store. I bought some food and other needs when news flashed.

"Wanted: a guy named Benjamin Highmore, age of 21, has kidnapped a minor named Seige Carson age of 13, please call the authorities if you see these people around," the reporter said and just as I was about to pay, the guy behind the cashier looked at me. He was about to reach for the phone but I screamed.

"Don't!!" I screamed. "Please don't! I'm not kidnapped." My screaming caught Ben's attention and he ran inside.

"What happened?" He asked me.

"We're on the news. T-they said you kidnapped me.."

"Shit!" He cursed and fired the gun towards the cctv when the guy was about to take the phone again. "Don't you dare," he said and looked at me.

"Hold this," he said and gave me the gun as he went towards the back to turn off all electricity. Total black out. The only light was coming from outside.

"Ben! Hurry!" I yelled because the man was attempting to call again the police.

"Hello, help-" he said but I was too scared and suddenly shot him on the head. I was in close range so it wasn't hard to shoot him.

"Ben! Ben!"

"What happened?!" He exclaimed and looked at my hand.

"I-I killed-"

"You didn't," he said and took the gun in his hands and exactly when that happened, the police came. The station was near so it didn't took them long.

"Raise your hands where we can see them! Drop the gun!"

"You're coming with us," the other policeman said and handcuffed Ben.

"I'm sorry, Ben."

"Have you decided yet?" He asked me as he opened the door.

"No," I said, "Look, I'm sorry about what happened before."

"You're late, Carson," he laughed. "I've suffered enough."
