Unknown point of view

I look around at all the stunned faces. 

I guess nobody figured that one out. 

Several voices begin to talk;

"Why wasn't I told?" 

"I didn't know what happened." 

"Chelsea made me." 

Oh, yeah. Chelsea. Such a shame that she had to die. Though, she was the one who kept the secret from anyone. 

You got to hand it to her, she certainly knew, how to keep a secret. 

She just forgot that secrets and lies always come out. 

Nothing stays hidden. 

Or, I do. 

I try to suppress a smile. Nobody knows who I am. Okay, they know who I am, but they don't know that I am the one who is behind this. 

"Why?" Mila asks her dad. 

"Chelsea thought you had too much on your plate already, so she didn't want to burden you with guilt." Robert reasons. 

I almost scoff; he and Chelsea are the reason why Samanda never got the justice she needed.

But, Blake and I are getting it now. And I can't wait to see the look on Mila's face when she knows it is me who is behind it all. 

It is so tempting to jump forward and announce myself, as who I exactly am.

However, where would the fun be in that?

"Did you know?" Mila accuses Peter. 

He doesn't answer her. Peter seems to get through his head what he has done. Now, he got two lives on his conscious.

"Peter didn't know either, Mila," Robert says, "Chelsea made sure that the police didn't find out." 

"But how did you know that there was a body when Blake carried her away?" Jace questions. 

Robert shakes his head, "The police found blood, and when they questioned us about it, Chelsea quickly said that it must have been a deer or something. And that it must have been hit, then fled into the forest to die." A tear slips down his cheek, probably because he now understands the situation he and his wife have brought upon them. "While you and Peter were unconscious in the hospital, we went down to the road, where it happened, when we saw the blood trail."

He looks over at Mila with sadful eyes, "We followed the trail into the forest, and that was when we saw a man digging in the ground, then dumping a body into it." 

I look over at Blake, and he catches my eyes for a moment. 

Without anyone noticing it I nod my head. 

Blake claps his hand, and everyone stops talking. 

"Okay! Enough with the chit-chat. I got a schedule to follow. Yes, I was the man in the forest, and yes that was Samanda I dug." A sad look in his eyes quickly pops in, and I glare at him. Now is not the time to show weakness. He shakes his head, and continues, "But now it is your turn. Your turn to feel the pain." He looks over at Peter and Mila, "I have already killed the one person who means the most to you, Peter, and I have already ruined your reputation in this world. So now I want to focus on you, Mila." 

He walks over to her, and whispers in her ear. 

But I don't need to hear the words, to know what he is saying. I am, after all, the one who practised it with him.

'Chelsea wasn't so easy to kill, but I eventually got her. She figured out who I was that day at breakfast. When we went up to our room, she was shaking all over, and when I cornered her against the wall, she started struggling, Oh, how she fought, I even got a scar on my arm from where she scratched me. Though, when I got her over to the lynch, she started begging for her life. For redemption. When I removed the chair from under her, I saw how her legs tried to find footing, and her hands trying to ease the choking. I saw the last breath leave her body, and the moment her body went limp.'

Blake looks over at the six of us, then back at Mila, 'I may not kill them as slowly as I did with her, but you will get to see their final breath, the minute their eyes lose their life, and the fact that you are the reason they are dead.'  

He straightens up, and we can all see Mila's pale face, her tears and her sadness. 

She knows what is coming. 

Blake walks away from her and pulls a gun from his back pocket. 

Everone is dead quiet. 

Which they actually will be in a few minutes. 

He starts with me. 

Blake presses the gun against my temple. The cold metal against my skin makes me tremble. This better work. 

I can hear Mila in the background, begging for my life. Only, if she knew who I was, she wouldn't freak out right now. 

Blake tilts his head and pulls the trigger. 

I can see the little worry behind his eyes, but I make sure to play my part and make my head fall limp. 

Red liquid falls from my temple and all the way down my cheek. 

This annoying tinnitus rings in my ear from the high shoot, along with Mila's screaming. 

 My head is hanging low, but I don't need to see what happens next. 

I can hear the shouts, and the sound of the gun going off.  

Two down, four more. 

Blood is spreading on the floor from the now dead body sitting next to me. 

Another shot, another scream. 

"Please, stop!" Mila screams at the top of her lungs as she starts to get hysterical. 

I can hear the chair scrape against the floor, and I can imagine that she is jumping up and down. 

Peter still hasn't said a word, and I don't think he plans to anytime soon. 

Bam!

Four down, two more.

"I am begging you." She finally whimpers, "Kill me instead." 

"Where would justice be in that?" 

Another shot.

The chair falls to the ground and Mila continues to scream. 

The last shot goes off slow, but final. 

I can hear Blake's footsteps. He is moving on to the last part. 

Mila is still laying on the ground going ballistic, she hasn't even noticed that I am looking right at her, even though, I should be dead. 

Peter notices though, and it seems like he is collecting the pieces inside his head. 

He says something, but you can't hear it over Mila's screams.

Oh, well. 

Blake loses my ties, and I slowly stand up. 

I walk over to Mila and kneel beside her. 

The minute I touch her shoulder, she stops shaking and looks up. 

Her mouth hangs open from utter shock. 

Blake hands me the gun, and I charge it.

I keep my eyes trained on Mila as I shoot Peter.

A final tear escapes from her eye while I point the gun straight at her head. 

"Goodbye, Mila." 

♦︎

What a sad chapter. All the characters are dead. 

Or, wait there is two left. 

Who do you think is alive, and killed them all along with Blake?

Only the epilogue left!
