"If… if I tell you the secret, can you shut her down as quickly as possible? So she has no chance to attack me." ​​

I almost jumped out of excitement when Cerise finally yielded. I honestly got a bit frustrated with her cowardice at some point.

"I will guarantee to take her down as quick as I could. Even if I have to take a long route, I will make sure that she won't be able to harm you. Trust me."

…

There was no answer from Cerise after that. She suddenly hung up the call, which was understandable. I knew that she was still thinking about it. Thus, I texted:

*Emmy: I'm ready whenever you are. I will protect you.*

I put down my phone and then started watching some more funny meme videos on Youtube.

It took at least half an hour until Cerise replied with a text.

Ding!

I checked the text from Cerise,

*Cerise: I will send you a picture. But you shouldn't be surprised. Because this is definitely something that will shock the hell out of you.*

*Cerise: It's something sensitive…*

*Emmy: I'm ready.*

After few seconds, Cerise sent a picture, but it took a moment for my phone to load it.

And when it loaded, I saw the picture that Cerise sent…

I reactively gasped…

"No way…"

My heart stopped beating for a second as I held my breath out of shock…

I closed my eyes and opened them to take a second look at the picture that Cerise had just sent to me.

After confirming what the picture was, my feet went cold, and I texted Cerise.

*Emmy: Is this… real?*

*Cerise: Yes, it's real.*

Cerise replied in an instant, sending chills down to my spine. Cerise sent me a picture of a girl, probably around fourteen years old.

She had long brown hair and pale skin. But this pale wasn't a regular pale like me. This was caused by the rope circling around her neck, choking her to her demise.

Cerise sent me the picture of a girl who hanged herself with a rope. Her skin was bluish, signifying that she had been dead for a while. Her head tilted to the left, and strangely, there was no sign of struggle.

There was no sign of her clawing her neck or violent thrashing. As if he had accepted her fate and hanged herself by kicking the chair under her.

…

What the fuck is this?!

I had expected something terrible when Cerise mentioned that Kristen had a hideous secret. I thought it was about her talking shit about someone like Jessica or Ashley. But this was totally out of my expectation.

This wasn't just hideous. This was murderous!

I texted Cerise again for an explanation,

*Emmy: What the heck is this? Give me an explanation, Cerise!*

*Cerise: It's as you can see, Em. That girl's name is Helena. She was the trio in our group back then, Kristen, Helena, and me. Although, in Helena case, she is doing it solely for Kristen.*

*Cerise: She died of suicide, hanged herself at the start of the third year in middle school.*

I had no patience waiting for her to type. Thus I called her again. The moment she accepted the call, I immediately asked the direct question:

"Did Kristen have something to do with this girl's death?"

…

"Yes," Cerise replied.

I took a deep breath, trying to toughen myself for whatever information would come after this. I didn't know that Kristen would partake in something so malicious like this.

I had my own guess in my mind, but I needed Cerise to tell the side of her story first.

"Tell me, how did Kristen got involved with the death of this girl, Helena?"

"She… she…" Cerise gulped. "She is the main culprit of Helena's suicide. She is the one who pushed her that far. She is…"

"She is the demon disguised herself as an angel…."

I had guessed that Kristen must've directly influenced this girl, but I didn't expect her to lead a girl to suicide. How heartless could you be to lead someone to her demise?

"What did she say? Do you have proof?"

"I will send you a screenshot of a chat history between Kristen and Helena. You'll be the judge, Em…."

Ding!

Cerise sent another picture that she said was the screenshot proof between Kristen and Helena's chat history.

I opened the picture while I was still on the call with Cerise, and then I read the content.

I gasped for the second time because the chat history between them was just… malicious, to say it lightly.

"Oh my god, this is crazy!" I commented. "I didn't expect Kristen to bet his evil!"

"Yes, Em… Kristen is that malicious," Cerise said. "I've lived under that evil for a while now."
