Chapter 32

She walked into the room and it was in really bad shape, it was really dusty and load of furniture scattered around. They weren't really funitutes, they were just pieces of furniture.  Why would Javier leave this room in this state, he could have called someone to clean it up at least. She made her way through the furniture but her unlucky foot got pieced by the nail from one of the dismantled funitutes. She winced in pain, placing her lips together to supress the pain that she felt from her already bleeding foot.  She placed the foot back gently on the floor and proceeded, leaping. Her eyes caught a huge stain on the wall. Blood!. Her heart sunk. Who's blood was that? She thought inwardly. She proceeded further into the room. There was a table, with numerous note pads scattered on it, the iron table was really rusted and already lost it's lustre. She leaped towards the table and picked up the note pad and felt the it with her hands. What was he doing with all of this? because ranging from how it was, it counted up to 20 or so. She took out a notepad and it was plain, No writting on it, just dots of red ink. She lifted up another notepad and under it, was a video recorder, along side, different  tapes. She lifted them, she was going to find out what was in the tapes and video recorder. There was a tape deck just by the side of the table and Hattie wondered why he had all of this. She inserted the first tape into the tape deck and the content started playing. She watched the content with her index finger by the side of chin, staring intently at the screen.

The first photage that came up was blurry but as it went on it started getting more clearer. 

It was her! In her office, how did Javier get this clip. The clip that showed was when she got her job and it was the first time being at her office. The tape had a duration of about 2hr 30 mins, that means that she was being recorded for that long and somehow, the video got to Javier? It was strange because as at that time, she knew nothing about javier. She hadn't even met him yet. How did he get this tape?. She inserted the second one, still not digesting the first. The second one was dark and she could hear screams from the background along with punching  sounds. She strained her eyes but she could not see anything

"Please am begging!" The voice came. Her heart sunk, it was Westin. He was crying for mercy. Could this have been recorded when he was killed and if it was, What was the video doing at javier's room. Her hands shook, her lips trembled as she could hear the screams. It went on until it became dead silent. The lump in her throat fee. She was still scared to play the last tape. She gathered courage and inserted it

Her mother! A gasp escaped from her trembling lips. It was just a regular video of her mother cutting vegetables in the kitchen. Why did Javier have this wierd videos. The video had a duration of about 30min with just her mother cooking. 

She switched off the tape deck and curled her self, placing her knee on her breast, she was devastated, she didnt know what to belive. No. She needed to hear him say it with his mouth, only then could she believe. Did Javier also murder her mother? she sat in deep thought. For a moment, she forgot how to breath, the tears could not come, she was too scared to cry. She stood up from where she was sitting and her body brushed against the tables causing the note pad to shatter. Her eyes caught a note that was now on the floor as a result of the tug on the table. She picked it up and her heart sunk the more

'Dear Hattie'

 That was the only thing that the note said. The disturbing part was, it was the same handwriting from other notes that she had been receiving. She trembled. Who the hell was Javier, what did he want from her?. He was sending notes, he killed westin and there was a probability that he also killed her mum. She shook her head in disbelief. The room suddenly felt to hot for her, she couldn't breath. How could she process this whole information.  It was too much for her to carry in one day. She leaped out of the room and made her way back to her room, with her leg still hurting as a result of the earlier punture. She didn't care about the pain in her leg, the pain in her chest was more. She didn't know what to think anymore. He had always knew her, even before they met. What he wanted from her, Hattie couldn't decipher. She just sat on her bed dumbfounded. She was going to hear from him. She needed to be sure if he did it or not. If he said he didn't do it, she would believe without hesitation. She couldn't handle the truth. It was to heavy for her too bear

**

"You killed Westin" Hattie blurted. Javier stiffened and looked up to her. He closed his laptop that he was working with.

"What are you talking about?"

"Don't you dare play dumb with me. I watched the tape and I saw everything"

"Hattie I...." Javier said as he stammered with his eyes softened 

"Please Javier" she begged  "Please tell me it's a lie, tell me you didn't kill Westin, tell me you had no hand it. Please"

"Hattie" he called out softly

"Don't call my name like that! You always do that, you can't manipulate me out of this" she yelled as hot tears came rolling down her cheek

"I am not manipulating you" he ran his hand through his hair.

"Then explain it to me"

"Yes I did, but I did it for you Hattie"

"You what?" she stepped back, the news was too hard to bear, the fantasies that she had ever dreamt off with Javier came crashing down. Who was this monster in front of her. It was Javier. The monster that she is in love with. How stupid did he think she is. Killing her boyfriend and walking into her life like he owns it

"He hurt you, not even once"

"That was none of your business, he apologized"

"That wasn't enough"

"And that was enough reason to kill him"

"It was more than enough. Goddamn hattie" he voiced out

"How long have you know me" she said calmly

"What?"

"How long have you fucking known me!" She  yelled in his face

"For 7 years"

"Long before you showed up in my office" she paused as she tried to process the new information that just kept coming.  

"And you were responsible for the notes I kept finding"

"I only sent one note and it was during Westin's murder"

"You bloody liar" she slapped him across the face.

"Every note clearly had the same writing. You were the one that followed me home that night right?"

"I don't know what you are talking about. I never followed you home"

"You just painted Andrew as the villain meanwhile you have been the devil all this fucking time"

"Hattie calm down"

"Don't tell me to calm down. I regret ever meeting you. bastard"

"You don't mean that"

"Trust me Javier come to think, I was already falling in love with you"

"Hattie please"

"So you have been stalking me for 7years and you killed my boyfriend. Did you kill my mother?"

"You never loved him"

"Answers the damn question! Did you kill my mother?"

"Its complicated"

Hattie slapped him hard across the face. As She breathed in rapidly, boiling inside

"Tell me now" she demanded

"It was a lashedta thing"

"What bloody lashedta?"

"You mum wasn't what you think she was"

"How do you expect me to belive you. Murder isn't difficult for you to do, why would lieing be?"

"Listen to me, Hattie"

"Go on"

"Your mother was a hyran and she was getting more deadlier by the day and she needed to be stopped"

"What bloody nonsense are you talking about. Is this an excuse to shield your evil deed"

"Why do you think you saw her picture in Bella house. It was there because she was already marked by the lashedta"

"What are you saying" Hattie asked as confused as ever

"Am saying that your mother was one of the most fierce hyran that I had ever come across, she did whatever she wanted, not minding the rules. She got pregnant for a human and have birth to you. It was never supposed to be like that. Many years later, she got pregnant for another human and had another girl"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean that you are not the not the only offspring of Agatha"

"There is another girl. Who?"

"Fay"

"Fay is my sister?"

"Half sister"

"Where have she been. Why did i not grow up with her"

"Your mother, Agatha never wanted Fay. She left her in an orphanage home and when she felt guilty, she sent for her sister, Rebecca to adopt her and take care of her"

"Fay mentioned Rebecca once. She is my aunty?"

"Yes she is"

"Where is she and where have she been all this while"

"She is dead. Lagatha killed her"

"Why?"

"Lagatha swore to wipe out every of Agatha generation including you and Fay"

"Why"

"Agatha murdered Mabel. Lagatha's daughter"

"Why would my mother do that?"

"She wanted to prove to Lagatha that she was superior. It's a hyran thing. If they wanted to show authority, towards their enemy, they kill their loved ones"

"How did she die?" Hattie said as tears came rolling down her cheeks

"Lagatha killed her"

"You were not involved?"

"I was, I abetted the murder. Lagatha took her hostage, she escaped and I found her and brought her back"

"Why?" 

"Because she had already done enough"

"She didn't deserve to die"

"It's the rules"

"Don't  you dare bring up anything about rules here"

"Why did Lagatha kill her in such a horrible way and why was the murder done at the house" Hattie asked as she memories of that day came fresh to her memory

"Why did she have to do it in the most cruel way possible. She used a knife when she could kill her in painless way"

"The knife marks that you saw wasn't ordinary. It's known as the sharilt knife. It is said to cause endless pain to its victims even after death"

"And you used it for Westin" she asked because she saw knife marks on his body on the day he died.

"He used a knife on you too" Javier replied

"He apologised"

"That wasn't enough Hattie" he yelled

"One more question" she said calmly and breathless

"Why did you video the death"

"To keep record"

"You bloody psychopath!" she cursed

"Did you kill zenni too?"

"Andrew did"

"Why would Andrew do that. There you go again, using Andrew to shield your evil deeds"

"He was obssessed with me and didn't want any lady close to me, That's  was why he murdered Zenni"

"You blood sucking lashedta. Why did ever get myself caught up in all of this"

"Hattie I'm sorry, I didn't want you to get hurt anymore"

"Don't touch me" she snapped at him 

"How could you do this to me"

"And you pretended to me all this while. To think that I was already falling in love with you. How stupid have I been"

"Why did you stalk me for 7 years?"

"I found you fascinating"

"Where did you first see me?"

"A picture of yours"

"I hate you. I wish I'll  never set my eyes on you again"

"Stop saying that"

"I will continue to because am done, am leaving"

"Hattie please"

"Don't fucking call my name like that"

"You can't leave, Andrew..."

"I don't care about you or your stupid lashedta friends. Am out and I'm leaving for good. You can't stop me. It wouldn't take long before you decide to hurt me physically"

"I would never hurt you"

"And you think I would belive that theory. You psychopath. You really need help. I knew that, the day you walked into my office, looking at the place wierdly. Making things look more creepy than it already was. You even had the guts to talk about the painting that Westin got for me, after you bloody murdered him"

"There was more to the painting, Andrew is the artist. He imagined a scenario with you and drew That. You are the woman trying to get out of the tunnel. He knew he was going to make your life miserable. So he decided to give you a memo"

"Does it ever end. I feel like my life had always  been a lie. You came in and made my life hell. When you came in, Andrew and the rest followed and caused tantrum in my already messed up life"

"I would get Fay out of that hell place and you would ever set your eyes on me again. I promise"

"We can talk this out"

"Don't you see! There is nothing to talk about. I am not going to listen to any thing that you have to say"

"You can't get Fay out"

"I will"

"Lagatha would kill the both of you, she would know that you are Agatha first child and she would have your head. You don't want to be walking right into the devil's trap"

"If you think am going to ask for your help in getting Fay out then think again. I would ask Stephanie for help and i would give her the pendant for an exchange"

"First of all, handing the hyran that kind of bargain would never work. They can be trickish when it comes to that. Second of all, Stephanie is no match for Lagatha. A hyran is no match for a lashedta"

"Speaking of trickish, aren't you worse?. I don't care about the consequent, I would get Fay out and I don't care about any fucking pendant"

"Hattie you have to listen"

"I don't want to"

"Javier good bye. Save it" she said calmly

"I am gone, Hattie is gone" she added softly as the tears couldn't stop flowing.

She walked slowly retreating from Javier, she made her way towards the stairs.  A whimp escaped from her lips. She couldn't fight the tears that fell. Her heart ached alot and she felt it. It felt like a continuous stab on her chest. She was heart broken, She felt useless, She felt empty, she felt her world crumbling down on her feet. She knew it was too good to be true the way she felt happy lately. Her happiness had never been for a long time. This incident snapped her back from fantasy into reality. Her life was a mess
