Celia Vargas pov

Who was that hooded guy? I tried to forget him but I cannot, it was a strange feeling. I searched for Shelly but couldn't find her, she must be getting laid somewhere. So, I texted her that I am leaving. I don't think I can stay here more than this. I wanted to meet Asher but he was busy talking to a girl, so I thought not to bother him. Anyway, it's only one sided, I don't think he has a crush on a girl like me.
As I was walking away, someone called my name. It was Ambrose, I turn around to face him. Where was he? I wanted to slap him.

"Are you leaving? So soon, you didn't even talk to me" he asked. He was wearing a denim polo shirt with a pair of black jeans. Now he is acting, like he didn't even know what he has done. He has done this type of mistakes before, but those were forgivable. I don't think I can forgive him about this matter.

"Yes, I have to go, it's a nice party but the people here are the worst, I cannot even trust anyone as my friend" I said, staring into his eyes. He looked confused.

"What? Are you angry? Did something happened?" He asked with a concerned look. Is he really acting now? I am not going to fall for his innocent act.

"Stop this bullshit, you told about my nightmare and that I take meds to Kim, how could you?" I said with gloominess in my voice. He raised his left eyebrow and looked confused. Did he really don't know? Or is he acting?

"I didn't said anything to Kim, why would I? I know I am bad at keeping secrets but betraying my friend is not my hobby" he said. Is he lying? I cannot say that I trust him but I want to believe him. If he didn't tell anyone then how did Kim know? I know him from childhood and I can tell he will never hurt me. When we were younger, he once saved me from an old pervert guy, I remembered it. He did spill my secrets but he was always the one to save me. But that doesn't mean I forgive him, I need to know the truth first.

"You didn't saw Natalie's post? And how did Kim even know about this?" I asked with anger.

"You know I don't follow Natalie Scott's profile, we are not friends, and Kim? She is the biggest eavesdropper ever, she might have heard us when we were talking" he said and hug me. I know Kim is the biggest liar and a bitch, it's nothing new. I didn't know that he don't follow Natalie. Should I believe him? I push him away. I don't want to hug him, if Kim saw us then I will be in trouble.

"You don't trust me? You think I will do something like that? I mean w-" Ambrose couldn't complete his sentence as we heard someone's screaming. We look at eachother and ran towards the sound. What happened? Who was it? We saw police cars and bunch of people outside his house. I saw Kim, her mascara was smeared under her eyes, she was crying, she looked like a mess. What is happening? Kim stood up and jumped in Ambrose's arm and started crying, even more loudly. Many people were crying and some were chatting and whispering. Being confused, I asked a girl, standing a little away from me. She was crying too.

"Hey, are you okay? What happened here" I asked. She cannot even talk properly, she looked like she was in shocked.

"Nat...Na.. Natalie was fou...found de-..dead in...in the forest" she said with shaking voice and completely break down after that. What? Natalie is dead? How? I was shocked too. I cannot believe it. What was she doing in the forest? I used to hate her but I never wanted her to die, she had a life too and like everyone else, she deserves to live. I was curious to know more. I heard some chit chatting, a group of people were discussing about this matter.

"Yes, her body was mutilated, her left arm was ripped off and her jaw was broken. They also saw some scratches on her body" a girl said. I don't even want to imagine the scene, it's gruesome. How can someone do that? It's cruel to even think.

"The police are saying it's a psycho killer, who must be bloodthirsty but I think it's a demogorgon like in 'Stranger Things' it would be really cool" another guy said. Demogorgon? No, it's a beast. The werewolf that attack our town after every ten years. No, it's not like that, it's a killer. There is nothing like werewolves. But if it's real then I could have stopped it. I didn't do anything, I let this happened. I was filled with guilty, though I was not the one to kill her. My eyes were filled with tears, Natalie's face was flashing in my mind, over and over again. I knew this would happen, didn't I? But again, it can easily be a killer on the loose. Can a killer kill someone with this much of cruelty? They found scratches too? Was all this a coincidence? There has to be something that I am missing. Suddenly someone put a hand on my shoulder, which startled me. It was Jasper, he looked concerned.

"We need to talk" He said with a low voice. I nod my head and we both walk towards a corner, with less people around. I need to talk too. I need to tell someone about this beast, no matter how crazy it sound.

"There is a problem, the police thinks that you are somehow related with the murder" he said. I was shocked, what? Why would they think that? I don't even knew about this untill I heard a scream.

"It was Kim, she told the police that you used to hate Natalie and that you had a fight with her. Some of her friends were also agreeing with Kim" said Jasper. I cannot believe this. That bitch thinks I am a killer? That's true I hated her and we had a fight but I will never kill someone. Kim and her friends are liars.

"Ambrose started arguing with the police, they will be here in a minute. I would suggest you to call Mr. Vargas and tell him to come here because I think, you might need to go to the police station for questioning" he said with sadness. I have to go to police station? But I didn't do anything. I cannot even dissect a frog and they are accusing me of killing someone? I am completely innocent.

"Celia Vargas, can we have a moment with you?"
