Chapter 10

"I know where the body of Mackenzie Woods lies in it's peaceful sleep. Follow the road outside the big woods and walk in when you come right to the middle. Find the big lake. And in the heart of the moon, you will find Mackenzie.

Sincerely,

Anonymous".

As I post my letter to the police station I feel a nervous feeling hit it's claws into me.

What if the figure out it me? What the hell do I do then? They're going to send me to a mental hospital or something.

I just hope that they'll go look for the body.

After they've found the body, my next mission is to find the killer once and for all and castrate him! Or no I won't do that, but I really wouldn't mind doing it, but I have to give him to the police, but I will beat him up. If he's not already dead, which is also a possibility.

The guy looked pretty young of what I saw of him, maybe in his early twenties, so that would make him in his sixties now because Mackenzie would've been forty this year.

That's weird, thinking of Mackenzie as a forty year old when she's just a little child trapped in a ghost and will never be a day older, because she doesn't live. And no one can see her, but other ghosts and me.

As I walk along the street I find myself on the street where Mackenzie was taken.

"Hey stranger!"

I trun around and see Iza come walking towards me.

"Hey", I say.

"Have you been avoiding me lately?" She asks.

Actually I have. This two past days, I've been trying to figure out what to do. I feel like I can't look Iza or Elliot in the eyes becsuse I know stuff that they don't about their own family.

I know I have to tell them about what I was born to do. But I don't know how to tell them. They will think I'm totally insane. They will never speak to me again, and they will hate me.

"No, why would I do that silly?" I ask smiling innocent.

"I don't know, you tell me", she says.

She's so close to me. I feel my heart start to beat really fast as she looks at me with her beautiful green eyes. I look away and start walking slowly again.

"Well I'm not avoiding you", I say.

"Liar", she says and walks beside me.

"I'm not..." Iza interrupts me.

"Oh stop", she says.

"Fine! I am, okay, happy?" I ask irritated.

Iza stops, I look back at her and she looks at me with her big eyes. I stop. Oh no. She has a hurtful look in her eyes. Great, this is just great.

"Why would I be happy?" She asks.

I sigh and walk up to her.

"Iza I'm sorry, I just ... I have a lot on my mind, and I'm really stressed and... Oh I'm so sorry", I apologize.

"It's okay, just... you don't have to be mean, and why are you avoiding me?" She asks.

Well, I know here relative Mackenzie was murdered and where her skeleton lies, and now I have to find the one who killed her so she can get some peace, and also I have powerful powers and I can fly. Did I leave something out?

"I don't know", I sigh.

"What aren't you telling me Jaydin?" She asks.

For just a moment I consider telling her everything. Bu then I hear the sounds of sirens.

"Come here!" I sa and take her hand as I run over to the grass.

Three police cars passes us and drives towards ... oh my, the woods. Did they read the letter already? Wow they work quickly.

"I wonder what's going on", Iza says curiously. "Come on!"

She takes my hand and drags me towards the woods. Oh no. This is not a good idea, but I can't tell her that, I mean I could I say something without revealing myself?

I just let Iza drag me along. She runs into the woods and I get creeps being in here, when I know what happened in this woods. Iza follows the sounds to find the police.

When we arrive ashe freezes. There is so many police men and divers here. There are divers in the lake where they now are a lot of boats as well.

They really did take my letter seriously. I mean it's not something dumb, but I did sign it as Anonymous, so they had to think that it was something strange right? Oh who am I to judge? I wrote the freaking letter.

"What di yoy think happened here?" She asks.

"I don't know..." I mumble.

She looks at me, studies my face, as if she thinks I'm lying. Does she know me that well? That she can tell when I'm lying? Shit. Why did I say anything at all?

Iza walks closer. She's a really curious girl. That's one of the many things I love about her.

"Iza! Come back here!" I hiss.

She don't listen to me.

I run up to her and tries to pull her back, but a police man has already seen us.

"Kids this is no place for you to be right now", she says.

"What happened here? I was here yesterday, and everything was fine", Iza says.

"We've discoverd a body", she says. "No off you go!"

"Body?"

"Get going!" The police says.

I take Iza's hand and pulls her with me.

I pull her out of the woods.

"Who do you think died?" She asks.

I shrug my shoulders.

"Why are you behaving so weird?" She ask.

And what am I suppose to answe on that question?

I just hope everything gets easier soon, becasue I really don't like lying to Iza.
