SECRETS I HOLD
FIFTY-FOUR
"Listen," Margo began. "Do you think that…well…you could talk to her."
"You fucking high?"
"Look just for a few minutes. She might listen to you. Besides you need to explain a few things."
"I don't need to explain shit."
Margo was getting slightly annoyed. "You're doing it again."
"What?"
"Avoiding."
Nathan let out a frustrated sigh. "Whatthefuckever."
Silence was common between then. After a moment he threw away his cig. "Fine. I'll talk to her."
Margo smiled lightly. "Thanks Nathan."
"Yeah. Whatever."
…
The Blackwell school was quiet without the students wondering around. Nathan didn't mind very much, the silence was calming to him. He made his way to Jefferson's class and just like what Margo said Rae was alone in the classroom siting in Margo's seat. Rae was staring at nothing but her head was in the direction of where Kate Marsh once sat.
Nathan slowly entered the classroom, making sure he made little sound as possible but enough to let Rae know he was there. And sure enough when he entered Rae glanced up at him, but soon after her eyes looked down at her hands to avoid his gaze.
Nathan wasn't really the one for comfort, deep down he wished for it himself. He had no experience, even with Victoria it felt underwhelming but she was an exception, she knew him and was either way grateful. Rae was different, the two of them weren't on good terms and it was obvious that they disliked each other (More Rae than him). Nathan was more concerned about the fact that Rae had no expression on her face, just blank. He wasn't sure if she was going to snap anytime soon.
"I hate you…"
There was a deadly silence. No one said a word. But it was clear that the room was filled with shock.
Expect for Rae.
"I hate you," her voice was low and dangerous while also quiet. "All of you."
"I killed Kate."
Those three words made Nathan snap his head up and stare at Rae.
"Rae," Wells began. "Kate was on that roof for her reasons. This was not caused by you."
"I killed Kate…I let her fall…I wasn't there when she needed me."
"Rae-"
"I wasn't there…she's dead because of me."
Nathan knew he was guilty along with Victoria and everyone else who took part in that video and oddly it hurt him that Rae decided to take the blame. She truly believed it was her fault. Nathan wasn't sure how to handle this but he had to try. For Margo's sake.
"Are you happy?" Rae said out of nowhere.
"What?"
Rae looked up showing a somewhat amused expression to him. "Are you happy, Nathan? Happy that Kate's out of the way?"
Nathan was getting angry. "The fuck do you mean?"
"I bet you wanted Kate to keep quiet about what you did to her. You're glad she's gone, aren't you?" Amusement became disgust as a spark of blue was in Rae's emerald eyes.
"The fuck Cassity, I wouldn't hurt Kate. Don't think you know me!"
Rae stood up. "I hate all of you. Every person here. They willingly let Kate suffer and allowed her to die without anyone to help. You're all evil." Rage was physical on her face; her hands glowed with the blue mist. She didn't care if Nathan knew; she didn't care about anything anymore.
Nathan was shocked, terrified. "R-Rae-"
Her arms flared up until they were covered in a galaxy blue fire. "She was innocent and you just let her die!" swiftly he raised her hand and a ball of fire shot right at Nathan sending him a few feet and crashing into the wall. Rae instantly rusted towards him, not giving him a chance to get up. As he slightly recovered Rae grabbed his jacket and swiftly punched him. She went for another punch but was stopped by Nathan grabbing her fist; his hand was covered in black mist. He was petrified at the sight of his hand being covered in a shadowy haze and became even more scared when it began to travel up his arm.
"W-What the fuck? What the hell did you do?" he shouted in fear.
Rae broke free and backed off, feeling her power do the same thing. Nathan stood abruptly and tried to shake off the mist, but it wouldn't go away. The mist suddenly centred on his hand again into a clumped up ball and fired at Rae which she managed to dodge and causing it to hit a few desks and sending them flying.
The blue mist was around Rae's whole body now. "You wanna do this again? Fine." And with a swift move she shifted into the bear sized galaxy wolf from before. This time she was ready to attack him rather than the other way around.
The wolf snarled and charged at Nathan which he barely avoided by leaping out of the way. He tried to run but the wolf was faster, pouncing on top of him and pinning him to the ground.
"N-No please don't!" Nathan cried with visible tears and begged as the wolf growled, "I'm sorry! I didn't wanna hurt Kate I-I never meant for this to happen please-" The wolf snarled at him and got closer, "Please! I'm sorry I'm sorry! Please stop!"
"Kate you have to understand my position."
"Oh I see. You don't care about me anymore. Nobody does!" With that Kate stormed away crying her eyes out. Rae went to stop her but she was too slow and watched as Kate left around the corner.
"Oh Kate…" Rae said quietly.
"If you ever need to talk so someone just let me know."
"I think Kate needs someone more than me."
"I understand. But don't you think she's putting this on herself?"
"Kate means well but, maybe she doth protest too much. She seems like she's hiding the truth."
"How's Kate by the way? She doesn't seem to be here. Maybe she's making a viral sequel."
"Has anyone seen Kate Marsh?"
"I think everyone has seen Kate Marsh." Victoria said making her minions laugh.
The wolf's eyes became clouded with tears but still remained in its fuming state.
You're all evil! You let Kate die! YOU DID THIS!
That's when it struck.
