Truth

"Your parents were involved in the same tragedy in their high school days, thirty - two years ago,...in this very school, Hilgate High School", he said. "What?! "Wait,...what?" "What?" "But mine said they learnt at some other school", Riley said. "And you believed them?", he said as she paused. "The blood diary, that very book was written by a student named Kellington Jasper, way back in 1973. This boy was bullied and assaulted at school, Hilgate High School. He was still a junior. No one was never on his side, except his mother, who was sick and was on a brink of death. His father beat him up so bad that he sometimes vomitted and urinated blood, along with broken ribs and a fractured collar bone", he elaborated. "He was a drunkard" His mother soon died and was left with his father. He continued abusing him, he sometimes raped him, yes, he was a maniac, a disgusting creature!", he said clenching his hands with anger. "So one night, he sneaked into the kitchen, barely walking, not so steadily, due to how he was abused in his behind" "Wait ,is this like a told story or formed or anything?", Chloe asked. "No,...I was there....I was his only friend back then, I also spent nights at his house, I too was assaulted and raped, but I stood by him all along. I was right behind him when he pulled out a knife in the kitchen. Yes, the moonlight was gleaming through the window, the night was turning old and the fire flies were active. His father was asleep". He said. He went ahead to the lounge where he was sleeping on his couch with a bottle in his hand, which had quarter scotch left in it. "Dont do it", I whispered as I said. He then said "look what he has done to us, do you want me to die??", he said and I paused while my chest was rising and falling. He soon said,"I'm doing this", he raised the knife aiming for the heart as I stopped him as he was about to stab. "Get off me Neo!!", he said while we wrestled then we dragged each other and bumped against his father and he agitated a bit as he woke up. We just froze staring at him. He glanced at the knife we were both holding. He massively slapped my left cheek that I waved my head due to the force of his strength and my head collided against a nearby table as I hit the ground. "Neo!!", Kellington yelled with concern. I was still concious, but the pain was overwhelming with a sting effect. "What are you doing in the middle of the night playing around with that kitchen knife?!!", he yelled at us. We didnt respond, we just stared at him. "Neo!!!", he shouted as I startled a bit. "It was me, I'm the one who was messing with it", Kellington spoke then his father vigorously smashed at the side of his head with his bottle that it got shattered at its corner and he dropped down and was silent. "Kell!!", I yelled at him but he did not wake up. "Turn around!!", he yelled at me. "What?", I questioned as he back slapped me and I fell with my front, he kneeled and beside my knees whilst they were between his legs, straddled them,. I desperately scratched the ground struggling to evade forward and he pulled back my pelvic bones to him. I finally reached a wooden chair nearby and tried to hit him behind me but he caught it and slammed it at my back and I cried out. "Shut up boy!", he yelled and pulled down my shorts and boxers. "No! Don't, not this again!! No!!", I fidgeted but his strength was too much for me, he viciously inserted it as I cried out loud then after that I heard a thud sound and he mysteriously halted. I faced back and saw him facing up with a rather painful expression on his face then I saw Kellington behind him as he stabbed him at his back the second time, then the third time and the fourth, the fifth, the sixth and lastly the seventh. His father dropped down with blood drooling endlessly from his back and we ran away. We later found an orphanage, we took,...I took five to ten years to heal from all of those horrific events, but Kellington never healed, he was rather getting much obsessed about retribution, he lost his way of reasoning, and started to create a book, a darker one, since he had no chance of standing up to anyone, he rather chose to deal with the devil and received dark magic. I stood by him still. I started helping him, and realized that it was making him elated. In the past we were called 'The Butcher'. "What about us? What did we ever do to you?", Chloe asked. "Its not you....its your parents", he replied. "Who's parents?", Tiffany asked. "All of your parents", he said. "I don't understand", Riley said. "Your parents,...they are the ones who bullied Kellington in high school,...the six of them", he said. "The Six", Tiffany said. "Oh shit,...so this is a grudge thing?", Max asked. "Yes, and he won't let it go until he's content", he said. "The Authorities buried 'The Butcher' story to avoid panick all over the city, to the ones who lived in that period of time probably have a glimpse of an idea of what and who they're dealing with,...we used someone as bait and dressed the person as us, we offered him money, for him to stall for us while we escape and if he could've managed to evade, it would have been a risk worth taking,...we wanted to lay low for a bit", he said. "You said it could have....been a risk worth taking,...does that mean that that person was captured?", Marko asked. "Yes,...", "Oh my fu-", Chloe placed her hands on her forehead looking up. "Okay time's up", the guard spoke behind them. "Wait!! Last question......", Tiffany exclaimed." Where is he gonna strike next? Since you're his ally, you must have a glimpse of idea of where he's gonna do it" "Honestly, he never shared any plans with me, he just requested me to assist him only because he predicted that I was gonna get caught one day", he replied. "Okay time to go", the guard insisted and started to walk them out. Tiffany stared at Mr BeckBecker at the last time as they were being escorted out then he smiled with a sinister smile and Tiffany's heart ached with her eyes wide and she looked away and they got out. "Guys how are we gonna end this?", Marko asked. "Damnit!! Just when I thought we had finally got past it", Riley said. Tiffany didn't hear a single thing, her heart was pounding rapidly, the look she saw on Mr Beckbecker's face frightened her. "Tiffany!!", Chloe yelled as she snapped out. "Huh?" "We were calling you like a million times, what's, you okay?", Chloe asked. "I wouldn't blame her,...for feeling that way", Rin said. "Yeah,...all this, its too much for us man", Max said. "We need to talk with our parents!", Tiffany snarled. "Yeah, its time we did", Chloe said. "Wait,...if we do, won't things get worse? Remember what the Strange Man told us, not to tell anyone", Riley said. "Except,...they also know the Strange Man,...so it won't make a difference", Tiffany said. "My house", Chloe said. "You sure?", Tiffany asked. "Yeah", she replied. "Okay but how do we know who learnt at Hilgate Highschool", Marko asked. "Oh yeah shit,...mom or dad? Mmm I think I might have a way to find out", Max said. "Yes, let's all find a way to find out who were involved, mother? Or Father", Tiffany said. "Okay,..come with your parent at 17:00pm sharp", Chloe said. "Sure", they all agreed and separated heading to their homes. A man stood at a distance apart from the opposite road under a tree that shadowed him, he had a black hat and a black long coat. Tiffany's heart ached, she froze. Then she quickly gazed there and saw no one She gulped and started to walk fast away.
