You Don't Know Me

Truth

Blake's POV

That night I returned to mine and Carl's house and went to our room. But as I entered my room I noticed Carl sitting on the edge of our bed, and I could immediately tell that something was off.

"You ok?" I asked him.

Carl didn't respond, he just stared at me. Then he took out a tape recorder and hit play. As soon as I heard what was on the tape recorder I knew it was the conversation I had with Tommy.

"Care to explain." Carl said with a monotone voice.

"What's there to explain?" I asked. "You have my confession on tape. What more do you need?"

"Why?!" Carl said getting right in front of my face. "You lied to me! You killed innocent people! You framed Tommy!"

"They weren't innocent!" I tell him.

"Just because they were working with Vlad in the past, doesn't mean..."

"NO!!!" I yelled at him. "I didn't kill them for what they did in the past! I killed them because what they were going to do!"

"What the hell are you talking about?" He asked me.

"You wouldn't understand!" I told him.

"Then explain it to me!" Carl told me. "And tell me the truth."

"Fine..." I said.

Flashback

It was about a year after Carl decided to spare Vlad and decided to lock him up. I never agreed with keeping Vlad alive, but I decided to give it a chance, for Carl.

I was out late at night patrolling the town. I was on my way back home when I heard what sounded like two people arguing. It sounded like it was coming from Father Johnathan's house.

"This was the plan we agreed on!" I heard someone yell, it sounded like Spencer.

"I know, I just don't know why I have to do it." I heard Father Johnathan tell him.

"You already built some trust with Carl." Spencer told him. "You'll ask to meet with him before the wedding tomorrow and then you kill him. That's the plan we all agreed on."

"I know." Father Johnathan said. "And I will."

I couldn't believe it. After everything Carl has done for these people this is how they're gonna repay him. I can't let this happen. I have to kill them.

End Flashback

"And then you killed them." Carl said.

"I did what I had to." I told him. "I went to Father Johnathan's house after he talked to you, chocked him out with some rope and then made it look like he hung himself."

"But what about Spencer?" He asked. "You didn't even try to make it look a suicide."

"I wasn't able to get the jump on him like Father Johnathan." I told him. "Plus by that point Zelda already assumed there was a killer."

"But if the reason you killed Father Johnathan and Spencer was because they were ex-Blaze Tribe members plotting to kill me, then why did you kill Joey?"

I was hoping he wouldn't ask me that.

"It was right before I killed Spencer." I started.

Flashback

I waited outside Spencer's house. I had a black hoodie and a knife gripped in my hand waiting for Spencer to return. Then he did, but he wasn't alone. He with Joanne, another former Blaze Tribe member. But the other person who was him, was Joey.
