The Truth (1)

"Where are you taking us? Stop the bus right now." I said while trying to open the bus door but no matter how hard I try it won't budge.

"I'm sorry, young miss but the door will never open until it reach the destination."

I sit on the back side of the bus, trying to stay away from Ben as far as possible meanwhile Noah, he's standing near the exit door. He still try to open the bus but I shake my head to him. I can see he's trying to do something with the door but nothing happen. Finally he sit near the exit door and he do nothing.

Benjamin take us farther and I can tell that we're leaving the suburb area. I feel so sleepy after having a long day and I rest my eyes and body for a while. Then after driving for around 20 minutes, finally the bus arrive at a big mansion.

I ask Noah whether he know about this mansion or not and he just shake his head then we're asked to leave the bus and before going out from the bus, Ben come to our direction,

"Please come to the front, you are not allowed to get out through the back door."

"Where are we?" I ask

"You'll see and Noah, I will tell you something, please, follow me."

We follow Ben to the mansion then he open the door and we're asked to come in. It's a huge mansion and it's pretty dark. He lead us to a room and there are two sofa inside the room. We sit inside the room then Ben close the door and lock it.

I look around the room then I find there'a CCTV at the corner of the room and there's nothing else. I tell Noah about the CCTV and we do nothing in that room. I can see the camera's moving around, watching us.

"Noah?"

"What's it?"

"Can you do something? Like getting us out of this place?"

"No, I can't do anything here."

"Why?"

"I don't know but I've tried to free us from Ben but I can't."

"I see. . ."

Then we both do nothing again until suddenly someone open the door and it's Ben.

"Can you two come with me?"

"No."

"I need to show you something then I'll let both of you go."

"I don't trust you."

Noah didn't say anything, it's just me who keep talking with anger to Ben.

"Let us go, Ben."

"I promise you, I'll let you go after I show Noah something."

"Fine. . ."

"Please come with me."

Ben lead us to a chamber and he unlock the door. He open the door and Noah suddenly run into the room. I can't believe what I just see. There's a girl sitting inside the room, her skin looks pale, her hair is red and she's wearing a dress. She look at Noah and me, I can see by the way she look at Noah, she doesn't recognize him. I see Noah kneel in front of her and his hand is touching the girl's cheek. I can see tears coming out from his eyes and the girl is looking at him with flat expression. I recognize the girl that sit in the room. It's Noah's ex-lover, Candace. I remember Noah told me that she's dead but now I see she's sitting in front of us.

I ask Ben, "This girl is supposed to be dead."

"I never kill her, I only take her blood and I left her dying."

"Lie."

"Ask Noah, I never know what happen after I left her."

"Noah told me that they held a funeral for Candace."

"Did he see the body?"

"I have no idea."

Meanwhile, Noah is kneeling in front of Candace and he keep calling her name but there's no response,

"Candace. . ."

Suddenly Noah stand up and he hit Ben right on his face.

"You dug her grave. You stole her body!"

"I never stole her body and I never dug her grave."

"Liar!"

I try to calm Noah down and I push him away from Ben.

"Let him explain."

"Now you trust this liar, Sera?"

"No. But I'm sure he'll tell you why he has Candace."

"Noah, let me tell you," Ben begin to speak,

"That night, I only left Candace dying, I never killed her. I don't know what happen to her until one day, an old lady come to me and she come with Candace, I see her walking by her own. I remember that I left her dying but that day, she was there, standing in front of me. The old lady told me that one night, there's a red haired girl who knocked on her window and there's this girl. She asked the old lady to bring her to me that's why the old lady brought her to me. I asked her several question but she didn't know anything else beside that. I brought her in and I checked at her wrist. I remember that in order to take her blood in a large amount, I need to cut her wrist but when I take a look at her wrist, there's nothing."

"I don't trust you. It's not real." said Noah.

"I always want to talk to you about this but I never able to since you always threaten me."

"I remember that you need her blood for some kind of ritual."

"Yes and I was tricked by someone who told me about a ritual that can take someone's ability."

"What?"

"Noah, I only want my brother back. I believe that person once but then I regret it."

"It's a lie."

"I'll tell you more about Candace first before talking further about the ritual and how I was tricked."

"Fine."

"I did some research and I found out about Candace's death certificate. I found about the location of the mortuary where her body was kept before being buried. I went there and I saw something. I saw some dead bodies and I found Candace's body. I'm sure that it was Candace because there was a wound on her wrist. It's the real Candace."

"You're not going to tell me that this one," He said while pointing at Candace, "Is a clone of Candace."

"You're right and do you want to know something?"

"What is it?"

"There are a clone of the 'lady' who's chasing after you, Noah. That lady, uh. . . what was her name?"

I immediately answer, "Diana."
