A/N: Thank you to all of my readers for reading this far. Nearly at Chapter 40, I never thought I would get this far or even get this much views. Over 4,000 views!? That's insane. I can't stress how much I'm grateful to all of you.

The story seems to be heating up for our main characters and of course you would have noticed that this story is not that accurate to the game. Well, that is because I'm trying to make it my own as well. There are so many ideas that I have for this story with the ending being my favorite out of all of them. You'll see why when we get there.

for now, let's stick to the present.

SECRETS I HOLD

THIRTY-EIGHT

Rae was thankful that she managed to get away in time. Even though she had all the time in the world now. Rae had to keep away from Nathan now. Whatever that whole scenario was about Rae didn't want to be a part of it.

I better get to Margo's dorm like I said. She might be able to help out with this new power.

It wasn't surprising to Rae that Victoria was blocking the entrance to the dorm. How more annoying can you be?

"Oh look. Its Rae Cassity. The selfie ho of Blackwell," Victoria stood and began to circle Rae like a predator about to strike. "What a lame gimmick. Even Mark- Mr Jefferson- falls for your waif hipster bullshit."

"I just answered his question." Rae said quietly.

"Oh yes! I remember. 'The Daguerreian Process sir!' Ha. You could barely even say that. I guess you've got your meds filled." That made her minions laugh. Rae stood there trying not to get angry. Victoria sat down, slumping a little as she rested her elbows on the steps. "Since you know all the answers you can find another way into the dorm, we're not moving."

Of course you wouldn't.

"Oh wait! Hold that pose." Victoria swiftly took out her phone and snapped a shot of Rae, catching her off guard. "Don't worry Rae, I'll put the perfect filter on before I post it all over social media. Now, why don't you go fuck your selfie?"

Oh yes Victoria. I'll get your bony ass out of the way. But how am I going to get her to move?

Rae was smart and was able to think fast. She observed the area for anything that could help her.

Ok so I have to get Victoria to move. And possibly get payback at the same time. When did I get so evil? Anyways I'm side-tracking. She checked around the bushes to see if anything would help. She noticed a few sprinklers that travelled along the line of bushes. Victoria and her gang are quite close to the sprinklers. I can use that. But that won't make Victoria let me through. I'll have to get my hands dirty. Well not really but…anyways.

Rae followed the line until she reached the shed attached to the building. She entered and looked around for anything that might turn the sprinklers on. After a full search that took around five minutes she eventually found the on switch and turned the sprinklers on. From outside she heard Victoria scream at the water being sprinkled on her from out of nowhere. Rae couldn't help but smile. You're turning to the dark side Rae.

Now the next thing. Getting her minions away. They need a reason to leave Victoria.

She noticed Samuel, the schools caretaker, climbing up a ladder and seemingly painting something. The paint brush was hanging on the metal bar just a little away from Victoria. Perfect. I can rewind and tamper with the bucket. I'll have to watch out and make sure it doesn't hit Victoria. I don't think it will though, she's out of the way.

Rae rewound time and stopped while Samuel wasn't looking and just as Victoria and her friends were away from the scene. Rae snuck up and snapped the handle of the bucket. She then stood back and watched as her masterpiece unfolded.

Everything went as Rae predicted. Samuel climbed the ladder with the faulty bucket and as she thought it came loose and fell just a little away from Victoria and her friends. Victoria, of course, made a big fuss over it and demanded the two girls to get her a towel so she could clean herself off. Rae had to admit she felt guilty trying something like this out but it was the only way she could get her to move. Rae quietly walked up to Victoria who was sitting on the steps and had her head hanging.

"Um…Hey Victoria." Rae said uneasily.

"What do you want Rae?" The question came out harshly. But Rae simply sighed.

"I am sorry. That's an awesome cashmere coat."

Victoria looked at her now ruined coat. "It was. But there will be another."

"Well, you always know how to pick the right outfits. I mean I'm not really a good example." Rae laughed nervously.

"I wouldn't say that your fashion was bad. And I guess I do have some talent. Mr Jefferson told me-"

"I've seen your pictures. You have a great eye. Richard Avedon-esque." I'm surprised I even remember that name. Or how to pronounce it.

Victoria looked surprised. A small smile formed on her face. "He's one of my heroes. Thanks Rae." She sighed. "I hope those sluts hurry up before they hang a sign on me." Rae wasn't a fan of some of the words Victoria used, but she had to admit that one sentence made her smile.

Victoria's smile vanished and was replaced with guilt; she reached for her back pocket and took out her phone. "You deserve a better shot. Sorry for blocking and…the…'go fuck your selfie'."

"That was mean, but pretty funny."

"Just one of those days, you know."

"I know exactly what you mean Victoria. I'll see you later."

Victoria shuffled to the side. "Au Revoir."

I'm happy that me and Victoria had a nice conversation for once. But she played me. Maybe I should have played her. Then again I don't want to fall into her level of bullying.

Anyways. I need to get to Margo. She's probably waiting for me.

…

Margo was lying on her bed while staring at nothing. She seemed to be having another daydream. It happened a lot to her.

Except it wasn't a daydream. Margo was in fact having another vision.

The scene was the same. The halls of Blackwell Academy were devoid of colour and the roars of the storm were echoing outside. There in front of her stood the dark shadow like being from before.

Everything was dead silent, the voices of the students were now gone, leaving only her. The school was now dark, pitch black. The walls looked broken and cracked. Margo heard the wind outside hitting the school with full force. The lights flickered on and off over and over again.

What's happening…?

Then she saw something. In the distance she saw a faceless figure standing at the end of the hallway. It's eyes blank and glowing white, it's mouth a zigzag. Limbs were abnormally long with long sharp claws.

It stared at her. Not moving a muscle.

"Margo…" It spoke in an eerily echo voice.

"W-who…who are you?"

"I am the key Margo…The key…"

"W-what?"

"It's looked away, inside your mind. You wish to see. To know the truth."

"What're you-"

Wait…is it…talking about…

"I am the key Margo…I can show you the truth…"

Margo wasn't sure what to say. The figure stood there with no movement whatsoever. Margo swallowed and asked her question. "What did you mean before?"

"I know what happened Margo." It replied.

"Know what?"

"About your parents. Why you can't remember. Why you were sent away. Why you forgot."

"You…know about what happened?"

"You wish to remember. Don't you?"

"More than anything."

"I can do just that Margo. I can fill that empty hole inside your head. I can clarify what happened that day. I can put you at ease."

"You can really do that?"

"Yes. All I need. Is your agreement."

Margo felt herself be pulled into reality.

"Think about it."

It was gone.

"I am the key Margo…The key…It's locked away, inside your mind. You wish to see. To know the truth. I am the key Margo…I can show you the truth…"
