Mystery Behind Jorogumo's Secrecy

CHAPTER 6: STAR MARK

It is morning but the rain is heavily pouring. I am here at the hotel where we are staying. But sadly, I was left all alone. She just died and all I could is nothing because I couldn't take back everything.

Acceptance. Yes, it maybe the matter I should possess for I couldn't do reviving her. Lend her life again. All I can do is putting the fact in my mind that she is gone. That she will never ever comeback. That I couldn't see her geniune smile, again. That I couldn't hug her when she is crying and worn out. That I couldn't touch her ever again. That I couldn't see her. That I couldn't show my love for her as a friend because she was gone and I was left by our memories that I will treasure 'til I get grey and old.

I get a cup of tea and start a new life without her. When will this bereavement ends? My tears start to fall down as I start conveying;

“I promised to you that killer who did that will be jailed," I start sipping my coffee while looking at my notes I wrote down last night. I will investigate until the moon of hindrances sleep and the sun of hopes shines.

If I will base on the silhouette I saw. It was svelte, approximately has a height of 5'6 and that killer walked slowly while holding own's head.

Isn't it outlandish why does it seemed slowly? Why does that killer didn't ran faster for that killer might be caught in action? Is it intended? But why?

I think deeply, fixing the lost puzzle pieces in my mind. Suddenly, my eyes widen because of what I have thinking. The reason why there were tiny spits of blood inside that room maybe because that killer was wounded! I get it, now.

“Rain, I am one step closer to truth behind those doors of lies," I smile.

If I will observe those people who know the real Identity of Rain, then it will leave us two. The pair of hearts. Those people whom I thought they were the real Jorogumo. And my suspection has strengthened in the fact that the lady is wounded on her head that explains why did that silhouette's hand holding up her head and also the reason why do the floor has spits of blood all around. And... And... Those black stuffs that were black pigments came from their house! Shit! That was it!

After a huge realization I have figured out. I rush through their house. I already solve the puzzle and all I need to do is to caught them up, I smile as I get out from the elevator and go outside of the hotel. I keep running here in the middle of the forest through their house when suddenly, I bumped someone who wears hoody jacket. Observing its body, it was also svelte with earings on both of her ears, her foot nails were polished and she's as white as snow. Basing those stuffs, she is probably a lady.

“sorry,” I uttered as I start helping her to stand up.

“It's okay,” she answered that makes me shiver. Her scent is familiar, her voice is familiar, her body and height are familiar, She's all out familiar.

The lady! She's the lady! I quickly unveiled her hoody jacket and hold her both hands, tying it up by the crops in this forest. That was real quick!

“LET ME ESCAPE!” she exclaimed as she tries escaping from being tied up hardly.

“NO! You killed her—!” someone cuts me off as I felt cold stuff on my head. It is a gun. As expected, my plan is going well.

I put my left hand inside my pocket and pressed numerous keys silently.

“UNTIE HER!” A husky voice over power the forest, the birds fly from the branches of the trees.

“Y-yes... I w-will,” I acted as if I am afraid by her husband. I walk near on the lady's back to untie her while the man is following me and still pointing his gun on my head, thinking that I will escape. How embicilic!

Near the hands of hers is a stone, not that tiny and not that huge. It sized a normal one. I untie her using my left hand while my right hand is secretly and slowly getting up the rock and put it inside the pocket. It buckles so I also put my right hand inside to trick that it is my hand that buckles. I am possessing again new trick.

As I ended up untying her, I quickly stand up and stoke the stone on the man's head hardly. I stroke it 'til he lost his consciousness and it went all out successful, the lady is in my back looking on what I've done. And as he lost his consciousness, I look back to see the lady and suddenly, there is gun pointing on my forehead.

“How could you hurt my husband?!” she exclaimed, full of hatred.

“How could you also killed Rain's parents?!” I retorted.

“They are monsters! They killed my only daughter! They scared her 'til she has no choice but to jumped on the abyss! Now, tell me! Were they not monsters?!” She said while her tears are falling with some nostalgia running on her head.

“But how can you be so sure they were the ones who did that? Do you have proof?”

“My husband saw and I also saw a man who pushed her. Only man. There was a star mark on her flank I have seen as the air blown up his cloth.”

“A star mark on his flank?” I have seen it. It... I-it is from her husband. I saw it from her husband.

“Wait—” I am about to check the mans flank when she deepens her gun on my forehead.

“DON'T. MOVE.”

“I will just assure things. Promise to not do an unnecessary movement.” I smile when she nods.

I kneel down and raised up the man's cloth and I saw what am I looking for. “Is this also the mark you've seen?” I grin.

“H-how it happened?!” she got shocked as her tears begun falling down, hardly. “How could he?!”

BANG!
