| Chapter Nineteen |
| �Charity. Oh how I longed for you? I�ve been wondering where you have been. I just been missing you like crazy.� Miguel whispered. �I know Miguel. Have no fear. My love. I�m here to stay by your side from here till eternity.� Charity stroked his hair. �I know I�m not dreaming now.� Miguel hasn�t smiled this way since the first time he met Charity. �This is our little secret no one must know I�m alive until I�m ready. Alright Miguel?� Charity searched through Miguel�s eyes. �You�ve got my word.� Miguel smiled. �I love you so much.� Miguel loved the scent in Charity�s hair. Charity gave him a forbidden kiss which have drove through the roof. Kay was knocking on Miguel�s window. �Miguel!� Kay freaked out and held on to Miguel. �Um . . . Kay this it�s not such a good time. Can we talk in the morning?� Kay looked up and saw who was there. �Oh my God!� Kay screamed. �How did she get in here? She�s dead!� Kay said. �No she�s not Kay. She�s real. You can see for yourself.� Miguel led her to Charity. Charity�s eyes glowed with transgression to hurt Kay. �Miguel it�s an illusion.� Kay is commenced to freak out. �Kay? How could you say that? She is real.� Miguel frowned. �Oh no she has gotten to you!� Kay cried. Whitney went into Theresa�s room. �Theresa! I remembered what happened to that night!� Whitney yelled. �What? What night?� Theresa was lost. �The night when Charity was killed. I know what happened to Charity!� Whitney tried to keep her composure, it wasn�t working. �Slow it down. Whitney refreshen my memory please?� Theresa calmed Whitney down. �Kay killed Charity!� Whitney shouted. �What? It doesn�t make sense.� When Whitney embarked Theresa on what happened that night. Theresa�s memory kicked in. �Oh my God! We have to warn Miguel!� Theresa exclaimed. �Wait Theresa! We�re not sure if Kay is here!� Theresa was about to warn Miguel but Kay entered in Theresa�s room. �Where do you think you�re going?� Kay maliciously laughed. Kay�s eyes are filled with treachery and is ready to place people in turmoil. �You�re not telling Miguel a damn thing! Kay doesn�t know she has killed Miguel! How can you two go and tell? When you two are not even aware that something has taken over your souls!� Kay hypnotized Whitney and Theresa. �We got to get rid of Charity once and for all!� Kay roared. �I don�t believe what I am hearing! Kay how could you?� Miguel was crushed. Whitney and Theresa had snapped out of their befuddlement. �What happened?� Theresa remembered now after she asked herself. �Miguel! Kay killed Charity!� Miguel is stunned by Theresa�s annunciation. �That�s right Miguel. We witnessed it and we just forgot. Cause we wanted to repress our memory.� Whitney said. �Charity is right here. She is not dead.� Miguel showed them and they couldn�t accept what their eyes were seeing. �Miguel? Charity is dead.� Theresa consoled him. �What? She was just here.� Miguel felt lost. �Kay I can�t believe it you killed Charity! Why?� He came close to her and nearly bit her head off. �Don�t you ever come or look my way!� Hee felt nauseous. �But Miguel. I don�t remember killing Charity.� Kay cried. �Liar! Stay the hell away from me. Get this evil girl out of here! You wanted to get me in your bed all along? Am I right dammit?� His voice became rancourous and his strength grew with anger. �You make me sick! Just looking at you, makes me hate you even more! You bitch! Get out of my house. You�ve killed my beloved Charity!� Kay couldn�t say anything. �Don�t you ever put your filthy hands on me! Theresa and Whitney get her out before I throw her out!� Miguel was upset. It scared Theresa. She has never seen Miguel like this. �I swear to you Miguel. I never had any intention to kill Charity. I am not like what you think I am.� Kay�s tears could stop flowing. �Get out!� Miguel hollered. Whitney gave Kay a disgusting look. �Kay. I always knew your calculating days was going to catch up with you.� Whitney shook her head. Theresa observed the whole situation. They did what Miguel said. After Theresa had closed the door. She stopped Whitney for a minute before they could go back and comfort Miguel. �Whitney. What makes us so sure Kay would actually do something like that? I know she�s mischievous at times. Kay is not like that.� Theresa folded her arms. �Theresa! We saw it with our own eyes! Kay killed Charity.� Luis walked in. �What is this I�m hearing about someone murdering Charity?� Luis demanded for an answer. Miguel came out and he looked at Theresa and Whitney. He nodded his head for Whitney to tell Luis. Theresa had to intervene. �Luis. We were just saying is it possible for someone to kill Charity.� Theresa tightened her hands into fists. �Oh. Cause if some murdered Charity. They must suffer the consequences.� Luis firmly stated. �I agree.� Miguel said crucially. Theresa pulled Miguel to the side. �Miguel. I�m not so sure Kay really killed Charity.� Theresa looked at him with sincerity. �What possessed you to say some BS like that?� Miguel griped. �Miguel, remember when I-I told you about me not recalling back on how Ethan was all over me, ready to make love to me?� Miguel sighed, annoyingly. �Yeah?� �It felt like something came over me. It felt like . . . somebody else was taking control over my body. I was like in another world.� Theresa said. �The next thing I knew, I was back to my old self.� Theresa concluded. �That�s what you think??� �Yes Miguel. This is what I find to be true. Lately people in Harmony are not themselves. I�m telling you Kay might have not been herself when Charity died. I was noticing Charity was not herself either. I think they were possessed by the outer limits of beyond.� �It doesn�t make sense to me.� �All I remember was going to the woods. It was me, Whitney, Sheridan and Dr. Russell. Oh my stars! I think Tabitha and her doll was there!� �Theresa listen to yourself. Do you know what you�re saying?� �Yes I know what I am saying Miguel! It�s something about the forbidden woods. That is just haunting, yet bewitching at the same time.� �Theresa . . . I really don�t know what to say.� Miguel plopped on the couch. �What�s going on here?� Luis crossed his arms. �Is there something I need to know about?� Luis cross-examined his siblings. �Luis. Theresa might think it is possible some people in Harmony are dominated by forces of some sort of evil.� Miguel replied, frustrated. �Theresa. I think you need to take it easy.� Luis half way joked. �You know the forbidden woods, right?� Theresa cocked a brow. �Yeah? No has been there for years.� Luis squinched his eyes. �Well. I believe me, Whitney, Sheridan and Whitney�s mom have been governed by forces of evil.� �What? That�s absurd!� Luis blared. �It�s-it�s true Luis. I�m convinced that Theresa is right. One moment I�m fine then next moment it�s like someone has taken over me.� Whitney proclaimed. �Apparently, there must be some explanation.� Luis shrugged. �What are we going to do Luis?� Miguel asked. �We�re just going to have to investigate the �forbidden woods�.� �Are we going to get in troubled?� Theresa raised. �No Theresa. It�s not you guys fault. You all couldn�t help of what�s been taking over you.� Luis assured her. �One thing�s for sure. We need to get to the bottom of this right away.� Luis crinkled his nose. After Theresa and Whitney left. Luis stopped Miguel for a minute and pulled him to the side. �Man. What�s the deal with Kay? Why did I see her rushing out of here with tears?� Luis interrogated. �Luis . . . I don�t ever want to see or know her right now.� Miguel frowned while placing his hand on his face, sitting on the couch. Luis studied Miguel�s behavior. �You�re serious huh?� Luis questioned. �You�re damn right I�m serious.� Miguel retaliated. �Cheer up lil� bro. I know how much you love Charity. She�ll always remain in our hearts forever.� Luis ensured him. �Luis?� �Yeah buddy?� �What if Theresa and Whitney are telling the truth?� �Then we�ll have to find out who�s behind it and why?� Luis went to his room. �If Kay really is innocent. I owe her an apology.� Miguel is starting to have second thoughts. Grace looked at Kay. �What�s with the grim look Kay?� Grace consoled her with a hug. �You haven�t been eating since last night. Are you alright?� Grace was getting scared. Kay heard her, but she refuse to answer. �Sam. I think something is wrong with Kay.� Grace sheds a tear. �Kay, sweetheart it�s your dad speaking. Are you alright?� Sam shook Kay a bit. She was still in her motionless form. �I�m fine.� Kay spoken softly. �Whew! For a minute there Kay. I thought you were dying on us.� Sam kissed her on the cheek. �I got to go. Pardon me.� Kay passed by them and walked out the door. She was sitting at the park, thinking to herself. �Kay?� Theresa stepped up to her. �I think you�re innocent. I know we have our differences. But I don�t think you would kill Charity.� Kay began crying. �Thanks Theresa for believing me.� Theresa gave her a hug. �Do you want to go with my brother Luis so we can get started with this investigation?� Theresa helped Kay to her feet. �Not if Miguel is there. No thank you.� Kay�s body was frozen. �Kay. Miguel doesn�t have a clue of what he is saying. He loves Charity so much.� Kay cried even more. �Don�t worry Kay. The truth will come out.� Theresa assured Kay. |
