BILL’S TRUE LOVE
“Caroline, open the door,” Caleb’s voice boomed in Care’s ears. She’s still feeling so sleepy. She slowly opened her eyes and rubbed them. For a second, she’s feeling like a happy girl with zero problems. Then, after a second, everything that happened hit her mind and make her wide awake.
“Iam coming,” she rushed to open the door. Caleb never disturbs her in the morning. But today when she saw his pale face.
“Don’t tell me we are going to jail,” she murmured.
“No. But this relief won’t last long, I think. You should come and see the news.” He grabbed her to the hall where Chloe and Charlotte already got ready for school, sitting and watching the television anxiously.
“A few weeks ago, a girl died in a fire accident on Roshord high. The investigation is still not over. Before it gets solved, a girl went missing. Her name is Becca Sparks. A high school girl went missing on her homecoming day. The school is under investigation by detectives. Two cases happened within a week. Till now, the detectives found the fire accident happened on purpose and there’s the bloodstain on an 11th-grade classroom. Soon, the blood will be tested and the result will be revealed. For now, it’s sure someone’s got murdered in Roshord school. The school should be closed but because of semester exams, it will be conducted with further protection.”
The news reporter gave the mike to a lady whose eyes were dried from tears.
“My daughter won’t go somewhere without telling me. Even her friends don’t know about that. I want Becca back. I don’t care about who’s blood it is. I want my daughter back without a single scratch on her. Iam telling this to all of you, find her as soon as you can. Why Can’t you find a girl? Are your detectives not enough talented? I want my daughter back no matter back.”
She screamed at the reporter. The shocked reporter trying to get the mike back.
“That’s it. I can’t watch it,” Charlotte took the remote and threw it right on the Television screen. It cracked in the middle.
“Please don’t overreact, Charlotte. We all caught in the same situation,” Caleb snapped.
“Who’s overreacting? Iam the one who did it. It’s for our self-defence but who’s going to understand it. There’s no proof. We did everything to clear the blood, but I don’t know how they found it. Soon, they will find the phone and my life will be over. But one thing Iam so sure, if something happens, I will surely escape this town once and for all.” Charlotte shouted anxiously, walked out of the house slamming the door shut.
“You should go easy on her, Caleb. She’s already depressed than us,” Caroline advised.
“What about us? She doesn’t need to see her as a murderer alone. We are all involved in this without the motive of the killing. Becca had the wrong motive of killing you and she dies, leaving us in million broken pieces. Iam going to school,” Caleb calmly left without showing any emotions.
Soon, Care reached the caffeine still with the bandage. When she entered, Bill saw her. He looked up and down at her. He got shocked when his eyes noticed her arms. “What’s happened to your arms? Why did you leave the party without telling anyone? Not even clary?” Did he fill her with many questions? All she can do is tell some believable lie.
“I got out after our fight. I walked in an absent mind involved in an accident. But nothing to worry it’s just a small injury.” Her lie feels like venom, but what else can she do? Hurt flashed in Bill’s eyes.
“It’s all because of me. If I didn’t fight with you, you wouldn’t have got this injury. Iam so...”
“You don’t need to be sorry. Iam perfectly alright. Iam glad you are talking with me. I felt like I lost a true friend. No one’s been a close friend with me than you,” she poured her feelings to him.
“Iam not the type, Care. I will always be there for me. Yesterday I got mad because of the way you talk about Daniel. I will always love you and I won’t give up on you, no matter what. All these days I can’t able to show my real feelings, now Iam telling you frankly. I love you, Caroline,”
“Bill...” Care is out of words. This is her first proposal. She doesn’t know one day she will be truly loved by someone. But she always has seen him as a friend.
“You don’t need to tell anything. You have more time to think about this,” Bill assured her with a hug. She hugged back, being struck by many lies and secrets.
“I want to ask you one thing. Tell me you won’t hate me in any situation,” She asked, thinking of getting caught one day because of the murder.
“Why are you asking?”
“Just tell me,”
“I won’t. Never.” He whispered in her ears, still hugging her. When their conversation was over, Bill went back to his work. Care is about to keep her handbag in the chair and get back to work. But something strikes her mind. She carried her diary to the school. She rummaged the bag to see whether it’s safe but it’s nowhere to be found.
“Oh god, you got to be kidding me,” she muttered and searched her bag again. Still, there’s no sign of her diary except a tiny piece of paper with something written on it.
“Searching for the Diary. How can you find it when you four killed and buried a girl? Gotcha. I got you. Your diary is more like a novel. Many things to see and read which is not even known to your family. It’s interesting right.
- M.W
‘What the hell?’ Care panicked, knowing that someone stole it and now blackmailing her. The only problem is Becca, who can do this more than her. She crushed the paper to notice another paper in her bag.
What are you thinking? You can’t escape from my sight. If you want the diary, come and meet me at the abandoned house no.13 near the graveyard at 9.00pm. You are living in Roshord town for more than 20 years. So come and find me. Now, you can enjoy the rest of the day thinking about me.
- M.W
HAUNTED HOUSE A shiver ran down Care’s spine. She can’t sit back in her home being a coward. She needs to visit the house. At the backside of the paper, the unknown person mentioned something. 9:00 pm COME ALONE She got no other choice. She can’t tell this to her friends. It’s time to face the truth. If the person shows up, she needs to bravely face him. Care isn’t brave like Charlotte but she can able to the brilliant right at the most important time. She fixed her mind off going alone. Care is going to meet some threatening person M.W. What is meant by M.W? Is he or she? Will she get the answers today? ..... Caleb walked to his class with Elliot. The school entrance is so crowded with reporters and detectives. Chloe’s classroom is filled with investigators. Her class is changed to another class for the rest of the day. Caleb took his seat showing a calm face. He took his phone and scrolled his I*******m post, not wanting to
WOLF’S MASK Caleb blinked at his sister giving a perplexing look. “Someone stole my diary. I wrote everything that happened yesterday,” Care told with regret. “You are insane. How can you do something like that? Did we go to some carnival to note it in the diary as a memory? It’s a murder case. Seriously, I don’t understand why you did something like that.” Caleb questioned her with a little bit less anger. He knows nothing is going to change after this. They can’t live a normal life after this incident. All they need to do is survive. 9:00 pm There’s a bang on the room door before Caroline could answer Caleb. “It’s nine o’clock,” Caleb glanced at his watch. The banging is getting louder and louder. “Did you lock the door before getting in?” Care questioned him. When Caleb nodded, Care moved towards the door. She looked outside through the hole. She could see anyone outside except the sound. Suddenly som
BLAME “What do you mean by ‘what the hell’, Care? You are holding the diary right now,” Charlotte snapped. “There’s nothing written in my diary. All my writings are gone. It’s gone. How’s that possible? Are we dealing with some devil?” Caroline babbled, pacing back and forth in the hall. “Give it to me,” Charlotte snatched it. Her face became pale by seeing it. She believed in Care. Soon she flipped each page to find two written pages that remain the same. “The day we killed Becca remains in this diary. All other things have vanished,” Charlotte threw the Diary to Care, acting like it’s some kind of poison. “You are right. But there’s a message on the last page,” Caroline carefully opened it. Finally, you noticed it. Phew. It’s good. I know everything has vanished and you don’t need to worry because everything will reappear, eventually. It's my secret trick. Now don’t think everything is over. You all need to do
SCOTT’S BEST FRIEND “My sister, she did this?” Chloe can’t able to accept what she’s hearing. “Indeed, yes. I should leave now. The detectives going to ask me some questions.” Tiffany broke the hug, washed her face, and walked out of Chloe’s sight. Chloe ran straight into Charlotte’s class. Every student left except Charlotte, who is talking with Scott. “I need to talk with you alone,” Chloe makes her words clear by interrupting their conversation. Charlotte uncomfortably smiled at Scott, who walked out of the class politely. “What’s going on, sis?” she smiled like everything is fine in her life. “Did you blame Tiffany for the footage?” Chloe commanded. Charlotte’s eyes widened, but she remained calm after a breath. “Yes, I did. Can I go now?” “Not yet, sis. Why did you do that? You know the truth that she doesn’t involve in it,” “So, what. I don’t need to explain this to you. I got to go.” Charlotte ta
SOMEONE’S BLUSHING “What?” “Yes, she needs a funeral. So, it will be after two days after Friday. Come with your sisters,” “I will,” Caleb responded and was about to turn away. But something worried his mind. He can’t let his girlfriend’s mother grieve alone. Ruby’s father is going to work. Being alone will bring more sadness to her for sure. “Can I come inside?” Caleb asked her. She brightened a little and invited him. ..... “You keep on pacing around the hall for one hour. What’s wrong with you,” Chloe asked Caroline with irritation. Chloe is seated on the couch eating popcorn and distracting herself from the thought of Charlotte. She doesn’t want to think about her. “Today Daniel is leaving Roshord. He called me once, but I didn’t pick up. I was busy at work. Now he’s not attending. Hereafter, I can’t able to talk with me,” she told Chloe, who’s still distracted by Charlotte’s thoughts. Care is glancing at her phone
MW IS HERE Caroline is lying on her bed with her phone. She remembered that she once had a fan account for Daniel Evans. When she opened it again on I*******m, there were more than 1000 followers. Who will follow an account without an update? Well, they did. She scrolled through her posts. Most of it is Daniel’s hot and sexy pics. Some photoshoots, billboards pictures, movie posters and also kissing scenes with the actress. She doesn’t like those pictures right now. She deleted some of it and posted her first picture with him. Surely, there will be more comments on it. She likes him a lot, but she can’t accept it. She doesn’t know whether she likes him or is just a fangirl like others. Caroline kept her phone done and slept the moment she closed her eyes. While Caleb entered the house, everyone’s door is locked. “Seriously, my sisters slept without cooking me dinner.” Caleb wondered, walking towards the kitchen hoping to find something to eat
ARGUMENTS The next moment, Caleb fell on the floor. The glass pierced all over his skin. No one is injured more than Caleb. The empty coffin fell down widely opened up. Caroline reached him and tried to wake him up. He’s closed, but he’s not unconscious. He tried to clear the blur vision. He can’t even see his sister's face clearly. “Oh my god, Caleb. We need to go to the hospital,” Caroline’s voice rang in his ears. There are more screams and noise made by the people. Finally, Caleb concentrated his vision and his eyes wandered over the coffin. When he focused his vision on it, still lying on the floor. He can see some words written on it. Told you not to come. Your loss - MW He gasped, grabbing Care’s hand. “Close the coffin, please,” he pleaded. Charlotte is standing near Care ran to close it. He deeply exhaled after knowing the coffin is closed. No one should see it. The message is for him. “Everybody go to your ho
BACK TO ROSHORD “First of all, Ruby’s death is not an accident. After much research, we came to know there’s a bomb fixed on the work in progress house on purpose. First, everyone thought there’s a leakage in the gas which is obviously not possible. It’s just an excuse that made my Roshord school to stop their school from sealing it. This made it clear, Roshord high is a careless school. We still don’t know who did this on purpose to hurt the students from Roshord high school.” the report stopped and the image shifted to the burning house on the day when the lacrosse match happened. Caleb looked down from seeing it again. Care kept her hand on his shoulder to make him relax. Her touch gave him a relaxation that their sisters were here for him. “Now about Becca’s disappearance.” the reporter started. The tension in the hall increased hearing Becca’s name. “It’s confirmed that she’s been murdered. There’s enough evidence of her blood in the sch
A few minutes later, Scott stopped breathing. He’s dead for real.“That’s enough, Ruby. Give me the knife.” Caleb snatched it away from her. It almost has cut his palm in the force.“First of all, how did you even get a knife?”“I found a lot of knives in this room. I got one before Scott came here.” Ruby replied. On the other side, Charlotte was crying so hard.“Please, don’t leave me, Jason. You don’t deserve to die.” She sobbed, hugging him. Jason is too weak to reply to her.“Call 911. Jason’s dying.” Charlotte ordered her siblings. Caleb heard her and took his phone. Will it be too late?“What are we going to do with the body? Should be hidden this murder too?” Caroline asked with fear.“No. The game’s over. There’s no point in repeating the same mistakes again and again.” Ruby said wisely.“Then what are you suggesting, Ruby?” Chloe asked.
Ruby went down the stairs as Charlotte and Chloe followed her. Without having much of a choice, Caleb, Caroline, and Jason followed them. They all ended up in a single room full of many monitors, full black suits in a closet, some electronics like laptops, tabs, cables etc... Caroline stepped carefully without getting trapped in the cables.“Is this Scott’s place to monitor us?” Caroline asked.“What the fuck are you talking about?” Charlotte asked, in complete shock. Her sister hasn’t told the truth yet.“Scott is the threatener, Char. We are sure of it.” Caleb said, without a doubt.“Wow, a teacher is capable of all these things. His death is coming closer.” Ruby surely said. At the same moment, the large monitor in the middle of the room lightened up.“Congratulations, Caleb. You are right. It’s me, Scott. All this time. By the way, I’m not the one who’s going to die. It’s going to be you,
“Scott? Charlotte’s best friend. The one who came to see her in the court.” Caleb asked for clarification.“Yeah, it’s him. How is he related to Becca? What’s his relationship with her? If Char knows something, she would have told us,” Care wondered and saw someone standing alone on the road.“Is it Jason? Am I right? Can you stop the car, Cal?” she asked as her brother did what she said.“Hey, what are you doing here? Is there any problem?” she asked from the window.“Um...yes...no. I’m not in any trouble. I was just lost in thoughts. I was about to reach home. What are you doing here? You both can’t wander anywhere while the threatener can be anywhere.”“We know. We...” Care turned to her brother. “Can we get help from him in searching all this evidence?”“Do you think it’s a good idea? We can’t get him in any trouble again.”“Yeah. I don’t know but I feel like we sho
“So, what are we doing now?” Chloe asked while keenly entering all the rooms in their house and looking for cameras.“We are going to Becca’s house. How many times do I have to say this?”Caleb let out a sign and made his way out of their house.“Without a plan?” Care questioned.“We will figure it out on the way,” He replied. Everyone joined him in the car except Chloe.“Hey, aren’t you coming?” Char asked.“No. We really have to find the secret basement and the cameras. I can’t take my mind off it since Ruby said it.”“But we can’t leave you here all alone. Come with us,” Care said. But Chloe is stubborn this time.“I guess someone has to be with her. It’s time for a split-up,” Charlotte said, getting out of the car.They all agreed. Care and Caleb are on their way to Ruby’s house.“So, what’s your plan? Do you have one?”
I couldn’t believe. That the threatener had a secret basement in their own house. The siblings are ready to find the basement. First, they have to cross the first challenge. Trail in the court. It was pretty rough. All they got to have is hope. The undefeatable hope. The anxiety continues to rule in the court until the siblings heard the most important word ever. The one word that could make them feel happier after an eternity.“.... Not guilty,”The siblings almost yelled in happiness and hugged each other. The lawyer looked at them with satisfaction and he glanced back at Daniel. Who’s the reason for their happiness.Caroline broke into her hug with Char and approached Daniel. “Thank you so much. I will never forget this. Ever in my life. I thought everything’s over.... but then...” she got emotional.“Hey, it’s okay. Everything’s alright now. Hereafter, you all even get to be safe from the threatener.
“Stop your useless argument and warnings. No one’s going to do anything to anyone.” Care shouted from her throat.“Why would you think so less of me?” Char asked.“It’s not about that. Right now, this is not the right conversation.”“I will get to the point. We need help from you, Ruby. And you won’t be saying ‘no’ to that. I’m sure of it,” Care added.“Really? What’s your request? Let me hear it.”“We four of us will be out of prison after the trial in the court. Since the killer is standing right in front of me, we will be free in some weeks. Plus, what Charlotte did was self-defence and we will even get extra protection in our house to protect us from the threatener. The detective is searching for him without sleep...”“Okay. Stop it. Come to the point. I don’t want to hear all your advantages,” Ruby interrupted her.“Fine. Tell me everything you know about MW. Tell
Meanwhile, Jason was talking with Charlotte. He can only wish to be in jail with her. On the other side, Ian came to visit Chloe. Chloe’s mood brightened after seeing Ian, but her fury grew after seeing another person.“What’s up, Chloe? Do you like it here?” Taylor spoke on the telephone.“What are you doing here? You already ruined my life. What else do you want?”“I want nothing. I just came to see you as a friend,”“Friend? Those days passed a long time ago.” Chloe laughed. All that Chloe can do is imagine herself breaking the glass without them and beat Taylor. She imagined herself killing Taylor with cold-blooded hands. Even if she’s not capable of it, she can change herself.“What are you thinking?” Taylor snapped her fingers.“Nothing. Just wishing that you could die one day,”.....Caleb preferred not to talk with anyone. He’s not even ready to meet
“Hey there, friends. What are you all talking about?” Ruby interrupted the four of them after she finished her enquiry with the detective.“First of all, we are not your friends. Whatever we are talking about is none of your business. Do you understand, Ruby?” Caroline said.“Nope. I don’t. We all were friends once. Why can’t it happen again?”“Because you betrayed us,” Caleb replied. Ruby stared at him and left. Soon, they were back in the cell. There’s no hope of getting out of here. At least for a while. But Ruby will be in jail for more than a year. She deserves it. That’s all anyone could say.Finally, the day has arrived. When all the siblings got a chance to meet their friends. Whoever is willing to see them.Caroline took the telephone, watching Daniel on the other side through the glass. Yes, it’s Daniel, and he’s here to see her.“Hey,” he spoke on the telephone, unsure o
“What?” the detective raised her eyebrows.“My sister Caroline got a threatening message from an unknown person named Mysterious wickedman. He’s the only one who knows that we killed Becca the very next day. He asked her to meet in an abandoned house near the graveyard. At the same time, my brother Caleb was at the place too. That Bastard tried to kill both of them. But somehow, they escaped by jumping from the window with some injuries. That was just the beginning. He did a lot to us.”“So, what’s his name again? Do you even recognize him? I hope you are not fooling me with an imaginary story,”“What the hell? Do I look like lying? We are all close to death every single day due to him.” Charlotte stood up, shouting at the detective.“Then what do you expect me to do? I can’t believe everything just like that. I’m supposed to seek evidence. Or else how would I even get this job?” She shouted back. They bo
