Chapter 3

When I reached my bedroom I got inside as quickly as possible and locked the door behind me.

I instantly went and jumped on my bed and fall flat on my face and stomach. I than sat up and grabed my laptop. I instantly went on chrome and type is google search.

What crimes were committed 5 years ago in Riverside , on 27 June 2015?

Before I can go through the information on my laptop my phone starts to ring. When I look at the caller ID it says unknown , so that's why I stopped the call. Than again the phone rings and this time I decide to answer the call.

"Hallo , who the hell are you to disturb me?" I ask harshly.

I mean really always when I'm busy with important stuff someone or something always interrupt me. It's as if nature don't want me to do stuff that is important to me.

"Cami , it's me , Ava. Your so called best friend and I want to see you now. I want to be the one who's going to tell you what happened 5 years ago. I don't want you to find out any other way." She rambles off. At least she is willing to tell me what the heck is going on. "I know you want to know the truth so meet me at the café in 10 minutes."

Before I can respond to that , the call dies. So I decide to shut down my laptop and go to the Café to get my answers from the direct source , Ava.

I climb of my bed and put on my sneakers. 'The ones that is found first , lying under my bed' my self conscious reminds me. 'You really need to tidy this place up' sometimes I just wish that little voice in my head will just shut up , but how can I do that is the question. I need to google that next. I laugh to myself and walk out of my bedroom.

When I walk down the hallway some of my long streaks of brown hair falls onto my face. I decided to go back to my room and comb my hair , because I hate my hair all on to my face , especially as I got a lot of it and it's so long. 'You should really go to a salon.' That annoying voice reminds me.

When I reach my room I quickly go inside and pull my hair in a neat , but messy bun. I put on some lip gloss and check myself in the mirror. I'm ready to go.

The bell above my head rings when I open the door. Ava's eyes shoots instantly towards me and a soft smile lands on her lips. I just realised how much I had missed that smile of hers. It's that kind of warm smile which would make you feel better instantly , although you were sad a minute ago.

I walk up to her in the corner booth where she is located. When I take my seat she starts to talk.

"So.." She says quite nervously. She is fidgeting with her hands like always when she is nervous. "You are probably wondering why I'm nervous of telling you what happened all those years ago? Aren't you?" Her blue eyes stares into my green ones.

I want to say yes and tell her to go on with what she wants to tell me , but for some reason I just can't find a way to open my mouth and speak , so I just nod my head in confirmation to let her know to continue.

"Well , It was a sunny afternoon and I was playing outside our house alone. It was one of those rare days that we weren't together. It was on June 27th. Your mother passed by and I ran towards her to ask her where you were that day. She didn't even look in my direction and she just continued with the road down. She didn't even knew of my presence. I followed her down the road and saw her with some shady people. Your mother , Camilla tooked a smoke of some thing I definitely think it was cocaine , your mother finally saw me and called me , I walked towards them I don't know what possessed me at that time but it was like a magnet pulling me towards your mother. She forsed me to take a smoke and I was to scared at that moment to disobey Camilla. I couldn't refuse and that was when I took a long swig and I felt so out of it that I didn't even realize when your mother and some other man picked me up and walked to an old house on the end of the street." Ava takes in a deep breath and wipe a stray tear of her cheek and continued this intriguing , but awful story of hers.

"They said that they would kill me if I didn't rape a little boy called Tommy. He had blonde hair and was a year younger than me. He lived down the road , but your mother and Rafael , the other guy , kidnapped him when he was playing on the lawn at the back of his house. They dragged us both into a room and instructed me what to do to the little boy. They injected him with some kind of drug so that he couldn't do anything. It was a terrible sight. They undressed him and told me to get rid of my dress. It was an awful experience for me , but to safe my life I needed to do that , because I didn't knew than till what extend Camilla was willing to go with this. When the deed was done..." Ava looks like she is going to vomit any time , but she gulps down the glass of water infront of her. "Well where was I ... oh yeah , when the deed was done Camilla told me to get rid of the body of the boy. I cried and begged of her to let me go. I cried for my mother and father. I trusted Camilla blindly. She handed me Tommy and than she and Rafael ranned out of the house when the cops sirens were heard outside in the street. The cops rushed into where I was with a moving less Tommy and they arrested me at that tender age for rape and murder of Tommy. For the record I swear till this day I don't know what your mother had injected Tommy with that caused him his life. I cried like crazy , because I was still young and I was so out of my mind from the cocaine that your mother made me use that I didn't even really knew what was going on around me. It was like anyone could command me to do anything they wanted me to do and I would just obey the commands even though I don't want to. My mind couldn't control my body at that time. It was the worse experience ever. I remember that my mother cried her eyes out for her barely 13 year old daughter that just committed a murder without even really having control of her actions." Ava is full on crying now.

That is when I feel ths wetness on my face and that's when I realize that I'm also crying. I knew my mother was a witch , but this I never expected from her. To drug Ava and to control her to commit rape and murder on a young and helpless boy like Tommy. It's fucked up to say the least of it.
