"Blake as you know, you are one of the suspects for the murder of Mark. We would like to see the CCTV footage of last night."
Blake smiled and remained unperturbed while Emily's inside were practically shaking in fear but thankfully she was quick to mask her expression else they would both be exposed.Blake could sense her tension, so he stretched out his hands to hers and gave her a reassuring smile, one that warmed her heart and made all her fears disappear."Sure." Was his simple reply. His mother who suddenly regained her confidence, rose from the couch as she said, "I will go get the laptop."Minutes later, Emily arrived the sitting room with a laptop in her hands. She placed the laptop of the glass table and gestured for Collins to play the footage.Collins tapped a few keys on the laptop. The footage of last night from around 11pm was displayed on the computer screen. Blake was seen dozing off on the bed, his mother joined him on bed at around 11:30. He then snuggled up to his mother as she cuddled him in her arms. Other than nothing strange happened.Emily's eyes widened in astonishment. How? She remembered this footage. When they had gotten back from the hospital the previous day, it was almost night but it was still fairly bright. Blake had set the room to be almost like nighttime.He then asked his mother to cuddle him to sleep. She obliged and they both ended up dozing off. Emily was really tired so it didn't come as a surprise to her that she slept off.Collins stared at Blake suspiciously and questioned, "There was a storm yesterday. How come they were no thunder flashes or rain patters in the audio?"Blake's lips twitched a little while his mother smiled and answered softly, "We didn't experience heavy rainfall yesterday, only a light drizzle and there were no thunderstorms. As you know, we live on the hill and this place is far from the big city, so it's normal that the storm didn't hit us or don't you so think detective?"Collins was rendered speechless by her statement. What she said made sense. The storm hit a lot of major cities while some areas didn't experience the storm at all. So it was quite normal that the storm didn't hit the hill. When he thought about this, he decided not to ask anymore questions.He rose from his seat and beamed a soft smile. "Thank you very much for your cooperation. We will keep in touch." The man said calmly and was about to stride out with his colleague when an aggressive woman stood on their paths. She was practically seething in rage while her eyes reddened in fury. How could he let them go, just like that?"He's the one who killed my son. You're been bias and this is injustice. This boy is a little devil. He used dark magic to kill my son!" She thundered in a loud voice, hot tears were trickling down her eyes. Her facial expression was one that made people feel compassionate. She looked like someone who had suffered from injustice but it was all just a fake.She wanted Blake to go down with her son. Her son couldn't be dead while Blake was still alive. She made up her mind to kill him. Only then would she be comforted, knowing that Emily would suffer the same fate as hers.Collins sighed and tried to explain, "Madam, we do not believe in dark magic. It is all just a myth. We investigate according to facts and evidence. Blake is no longer a suspect and has nothing to do with this case. We assure you, madam we will find the person who killed your son." Upon hearing this, Jessica let out a fervent wail. Her husband pulled her into his arms and tried to comfort her but that didn't seem to work.She is a pretty good actress, Blake thought and smirked. He seemed to be enjoying the show. Guess it was time for the second phase of his plan. Jessica wouldn't know what hit her.He gazed at both of them with a death glare. They both won't live to see tomorrow!He brought out his phone and played a game on his phone. He was starting to get bored. While his fingers where still tapping his phone, he opened his mouth and said casually, "I know who killed your son." Emily's eyes widened with a ghastly expression. What the hell was he doing? If he said the truth, he would go to jail! No, her son was smarter than that. Maybe this was part of his plan?Jessica let out a heinous laugh and revealed in wicked tone, "I said it! He's gonna confess to it. I guess he finally has a conscience. You killed my son you bastard! Whether you confess or not, I will make sure you spend the rest of your life in prison!" She rushed to Blake's figure, her intention was to inflict injuries on him, she didn't expect to be stopped by Collin's harsh voice."Stop it woman and let the boy speak! Mr. Jacob, control your wife!" From his tone, one could tell he was pissed. Who wouldn't be? Jessica was behaving like a woman without proper etiquette. It was no surprise her son turned out to be a bully.Jessica seemed to calm down afterwards, her body was still shaking in anger. She looked a wild beast that was about to devour its prey. The look on her face was a scary one, but Blake didn't seem frightened by her gaze."Blake, you claim to know who killed Mark. Who was it?"He puffed out a loud breath and crossed his slender legs. His posture was so calm that it didn't look like he was being interrogated. His calm expression was like gasoline, as it seemed to fuel Jessica's anger and it soon reached its peak. Her face was red-hot that she looked like she was about to explode!"A ghost," he said it so casually and that was just the amount of gasoline needed to make Jessica erupt like a volcano. Her expression turned deadly and she looked like she could tear him apart at that moment.She pointed her shaky fingers to Blake and thundered in a tone full of malice, "You bastard! Do you think this is a joke? Is this a joke to you?! Answer me!"Blake simply smiled, he seemed to be mocking her with his charming smile. Emily decided to kill her with rage suddenly asked, "Blake you said a ghost killed Mark? Who could that ghost be?"His expression turned childish as he said to his mother in a childish tone, "Jessica killed a woman, the woman became a ghost and killed Mark as revenge."Emily's eyes widened in surprise. That was not the answer she was expecting to hear.Blood drained from Jessica's face and her face became as pale as snow. He knew.... He knew. All eyes were now on her. Although he sounded childish, one could tell that what he said was half-truth.Jessica laughed awkwardly and quickly masked her previous expression. She gave Blake a death glare as if threatening him to shut up but Blake remained unperturbed. How could he be threatened by her? What a joke!"Don't utter rubbish. Blake is only a child, he can occasionally spurt nonsense," she beamed an innocent smile.Collins ignored her and squatted to Blake's height. He wore a friendly expression and questioned in a hush voice, "Tell me Blake, who did Jessica kill?"He opened his mouth and began, "I don't know her but she was Jacob's secretary. Jessica found out she was pregnant for her husband so she got angry and killed her!"The room suddenly became awfully silent and Jessica's apprehension grew. Her body began to shake as she received hateful glances from the people in the room."Is it true? Did you kill Katelyn?!" A furious Jacob demanded in an awfully loud baritone voice, one that made her shrink back in fear."I-I d-didn't do it! Believe me. He's lying!" She started in a shaky voice but she quickly regained her usually high-pitched and thundered at her husband," You cheated on me you bastard. I only found out that she was pregnant. I asked her to abort the baby but I didn't kill her! You disgust me Jacob, you shameless pig!"A loud smack was heard that made eyes peer at the quarreling couple. Jessica held her red cheek and stared at her husband in disbelief."Jacob, you slapped me?" She questioned in a rather pensive voice. She raised her hands and smacked him on his face with so much force such that her palm imprints were glued on his face."You bastard! How dare you slap me! I made you who you're today. Without me, you would have died on the streets and you dare to cheat on me?!" She screamed and slapped him yet again. Jacob's face was red with fury but he remained quiet and didn't dare to speak.This woman was a powerful woman and she could take away all his wealth in the snap of a finger. He hated her so much and his plan was to elope with Katelyn, the woman he fell in love with, but unexpectedly she went missing a month ago and was never heard of.His heart bled everyday and he longed for her to be in his arms that was why just now when heard that Jessica had killed her, he lost control and slapped her.Jessica turned to Blake who was busy enjoying the show. "You this bastard child born of a worthless slut, do you even have prove that I killed her?! Who knows? Maybe you killed her with your dark magic and tried to pin it on me!" She turned to Jacob and gave him a death glare, "Let's go!" She commanded and he had no choice but to follow her out. Just as they were about to walk out of the sitting room a calm and dangerously-sweet voice said, "I have evidence!"I just can't help falling in love with Blake haha. What's your thoughts on this chapter?
"I have evidence!" It was just but three words but those words made a patter of cold shivers run down her spines. He had evidence? How? She made sure she silenced the only person who knew about her death and erased all traces of her death. Could it be he...She laughed weirdly and mocked, "Evidence? How could a eight year boy have evidence? Are you gonna show us a horror movie of a ghost killing a boy? How pathetic!"Collins simply ignored her continuous ranting and asked the boy seriously, "You said you have the evidence. Where is it?"Blake peered into the eyes of the man and gave him an innocent look. His lips quivered as he spoke in a scary tone, "She would kill me if I tell you, just like she tried to kill my friend. He's in a coma now." The boy sobbed and placed his head on his mother's shoulder. Emily's eyes narrowed to her son, the expression on her face was that of perplexity. The friend he was referring to... Could it be Liam?!Jessica felt her legs begin to falter. She stagg
As they awaited the results of her CT scan, the anxiety in Emily's heart grew. She didn't know why but since she woke up, she felt awfully better and she hadn't coughed since she left the house and even as they were in the hospital.She didn't know if she was getting worse or if she was actually healed? She stared her son who was seated beside her. His small legs were crossed and his facial expression was that of repose. Now that she actually thought about it, she didn't really remember much from last night. She only remember running into Blake's room and seeing him ablaze. That was all she could remember and the next morning she was waking up beside her son! Weird?"Blake, do you know what happened last night?" He pursed his lips and replied casually, "You just fell asleep."Her eyes went wide with surprise, she couldn't just fall asleep. Or was it the drug she took last night? It made her drowsy though.She pouted her lips and didn't ask anymore questions. A nurse soon came out of t
Liam chewed on the food hastily, he then took a glass of water and gulped its content down."Easy on the food." Blake chuckled and poured more water into his cup."I'm damn hungry! Don't blame me, I haven't eaten in a month!" he pouted his lips and continued eating. Blake smiled but didn't say anything. He was glad that his mother packed more than enough, otherwise, he was scared the food might not be enough.Liam soon finished all of the food. He licked his lips as he prepared to savour the mouth watering cake. "Time for desert." He muttered, delving into the huge strawberry cake. His lips were stained with icing, but he abruptly licked it from his lips. Blake watched as his friend devoured the cake with amusement dancing in his eyes. He felt overjoyed seeing that he was back to his previous self.Moments later, the door opened and Emily and Helen walked into the room. They seemed to be discussing about something that they didn't notice the two boys on the bed. Helen's mood seemed to
Sitting on the hospital bed with a broken heart, the woman felt a bit hesitant to disclose her ailment to the boy. She gazed at the boy's tranquil expression and then at his innocent blue orbs. She didn't know why but she felt she could trust him. "I have Osteosarcoma," she started slowly with a sullen look on her face. "I was diagnosed six months into my pregnancy and worse of all, my cancer had spread to my Lungs making it even harder to treat!" She confessed with a sunken spirit, the pain she felt burned her heart. It was the kind of pain one felt when a knife was pierced into the heart.She clutched unto her chest and let out short raspy breaths. She felt her lungs burn for air but she didn't get any. Blake appeared to have noticed her difficulty in breathing. Just when she was about to press the emergency button on her bed, his word stopped her, "Don't."As if possessed by an invisible force, she dropped her hands from the button. He placed two of his fingers on her forehead an
TRIGGER WARNING: THIS CHAPTER CONTAIN SOME GORY SCENES.In an enormous living room, a man named Jacob Killian was seated on of the exquisite couches with a glass of whiskey in his hands and a picture frame of a beautiful woman.His eyes were red from the tears he had shed earlier and his heart felt heavy and it hurt so much. The love of his life was dead and soon he would be too. He pretty much knew that Shane already ordered for his execution. Shane was a dangerous man, it was impossible to escape from his grasp. At least, he knew he would soon be reunited with the love of his life.As he gulped down the entire content of the glass, the brownish liquid burned his throat. He stroked the woman's face on the frame and let out a bitter smile. He brought the picture to his face and gave it a light peck."Gross." A small voice mumbled from behind him and a sudden shudder of dread ran down his spine. He felt his hands quake in fright as Blake ambled over to where he sat. What was he doing he
TRIGGER WARNING: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS EXTREME GORY SCENES. ~~~Nineteen years later~~~ The crackling sound of fire became music to the ears as the dying branches and twigs breathed their last before tumbling into the glowing embers. Large number of sparks from the blazing bonfire were been blown away by rustling wind.Twelve young adults sat around the fire as they listened to tales of the mysterious faceless beast."In a lonely and dreaded forest, there lived a beast who took the shape of a man. Only one person ever lived to tell the tales of this dreaded beast. It was said to have red glowing eyes, sharp claws, two devilish horns on it's head. It was faceless and it could snap a person's neck without touching it, it could rip a person's heart out with it's claws and rip a person into shreds in seconds...""Okay, that's enough John!" Amelia snapped, fear flickering in her brown orbs. She didn't want to hear anymore of the frightening story."Don't tell me you're all scared. It's a
TRIGGER WARNING: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS SOME GORY SCENES.A metallic hand bell was rung several times, it's piercing and reverberating sound became prominent as it echoed through the walls of the room. Ariana let out a grunt of dissatisfaction in her sleep as she began to wriggle within the cozy and soft mattress, not wanting to let go of the beautiful dream she was having.She felt something cold splash on her body causing her eyes to abruptly opened. Her face became red with dismay as she stared at her wet clothes.She was just about to kiss the man of her dreams and they ruined it for her. Now she may never get that kiss. She thought with a pout."Kimberly! Bethany!" Gritting her teeth, she thundered. Both girls giggled with mischief. Kimberly and Bethany were identical twins, the only noticeable difference between them was that Kimberly had brown eyes while Bethany had brown and green colored eyes. That's right she was born with heterochromia, a unique phenomenal that occurs when
The door bell rang pulling Jackie out of her reverie. She panted heavily, her knuckles turning white as she clenched hard unto the fork, fighting so hard to quench her thirst to kill her. Now wasn't the time.The door bell rang again and Jackie rushed to answer it before anyone else could. She came back seconds later with a bouquet of one of the finest roses from the best flower shop in the city. Her face held even more anger than before."Riri, these are for you, from your boyfriend," she announced with a voice full of sarcasm."Oh, it has a note." She took out the white card attached to the bouquet and read aloud what was written on it.“Saw these beautiful roses and I was reminded of your mesmerizing beauty. I just couldn't resist getting it for you, my beautiful rose. Blake.”Riri blushed slightly, almost forgetting about the tense situation. That cheeky guy!"You nerd! Did you just blush? You're even more pathetic than I thought!" She hauled insults on her and then roared in laug
