The Girl Behind The Mask'

Ten years ago, Amelia Williams witnessed the genocide of her family members and twenty seven of her family's workers.

She fled after being sighted, the name of the man who committed the act deeply ingrained in her heart.

Now 21, she returns to her hometown determined to bring justice her own way to the murderer of her family and the workers.

....

The wine cellars suddenly fell off with a loud thud frightening the workers present.

With shaky legs, one of the workers walked to the wall where the wine cellars previously was—stuck on the wall was an arrow with a white paper attached to it's head.

The paper read: "Your master is lying dead on his bed upstairs, inform the others before it stinks!"

Accompanied with the write-up was the infamous red butterfly, without a word, the worker fell backward and fainted.

Faraway, on the roof of a skyscraper, a redhead peered into her binoculars and tsked!

She didn't have the time to watch the activities as her watch beeped. Almost immediately, her phone rang.

"Uncle Dan!" She squealed excitedly, quietly packing up her instruments in a quick, noiseless manner.

Her hands moved so fast, that the event of her folding the instruments into smaller shapes could not be captured. Afterwards, she threw them into her school bag.

"Where are you Amelia or should I say Felicity?" A man's deep voice came from the other end. Apparently, he was Uncle Dan.

Staring down at the hundred foots below her, Amelia scrolled through her wristwatch. She stabilized her breathing before replying: "At the restroom Uncle Dan."

"At the restroom? Which restroom?" Uncle Dan asked from the other side.

Amelia rolled her eyes, finally she said: "In school Uncle Dan. Ask my classmates, I had cramps earlier this morning and needed to go to the restroom. I'm still suffering from it tho"

Raising her hands to her head, she dived down—falling off the skyscraper.

Down on the ground, an invisible object suddenly buzzed on. It's eyes accurately catching the falling object from the sky.

Flying up in a split second, it trapped her into the car and returned back to the ground.

On the phone, Uncle Dan who had no idea what just happened, said: "Amelia, are you lying to me? Accept you skipped school and face your punishment. I promise not to be hard on you"

Amelia who now looked a little disheveled, smoothened her hair before saying, "I'm in the restroom Uncle! My cramp seems to have reduced a little. I'll be out in the next ten minutes"

"The next ten minutes? Ha! You'll be s dead meat if I don't see you in school before then!" He snapped and hung up.

Throwing the phone to the space beside her, Amelia stared towards the empty driver's seat and snapped, "I don't know how you're gonna do it but we need to be in school before the next ten minutes oo we'd be smoked!"

An interface appeared on the Car's windscreen. An emoji appeared after it turned on.

"Ha! We'd be smoked, no you'd be smoked!" The emoji angrily retorted, instantly the car seemed to be turned on and slowly, it made its way out of the tightly packed line of cars. Afterwards, it sped off.

Hearing it, Amelia shrugged with a smile, "Oh yeah, only humans can be smoked"

The emoji's originally distorted face became uglier. "this is all your fault Amelia. If you had made me look like a human we wouldn't be having this conversation!"

Being satisfied with her look in the mirror, She casually leaned backwards and provoked it further. "At least you get to be with me all the time."

The emoji was too annoyed by the narcist behavior, it chose to be quiet. In the blink of an eye, the car invisible car which now had a White color parked outside the College.

Glancing at the time, she breathed in a sigh of relief seeing they had arrived in seven mi minutes, "Look around. Spot Uncle Dan and where his men are all stationed."

"They're everywhere, seems he knew you were out of school" The emoji tried after roving it's bug eyes about.

"Drive further and drop me off, then create a distraction"

.....

A middle aged man stood majestically a little far from the female restroom. He stood at a distance that made it look less suspicious.

Flicking his wrist over, he smiled seeing the time on his wristwatch. He now fixed his eyes wholeheartedly at the direction of the restroom.

The females walking in and out stared weirdly at him. Soon, there was a commotion outside.

Walking a little further out, he saw the cause for the chaos. Apparently, it was a Porsche which was circling around the school, whoever it was inside even volunteered to cycle some of the students for a while.

While the students were caught up in the fun, a figure quietly made her way to the female restroom.

The man scoffed then turned around. He walked back to his previous position.

"Seen her?" He asked through his earbod, apparently speaking to his subordinates.

"No sign of her sir" the men all replied respectively.

Picking his phone, he dialled her number but then hung up hearing the sound of slow but unhurried footsteps.

Raising his head, he saw a pale looking Amelia. He was 50% doubtful in his heart.

"Uncle Dan" Amelia called weakly, smile gracing her pale face, "I need to visit the hospital"

Uncle Dan stared quietly at her for some seconds, watching her walk to him. He only sighed when she stood directly opposite him.

Stretching his hand, he stroked her hair, "Let's go as soon as possible"

By the time they walked out, the Porsche seemed to have gotten rid of. Dan didn't think much of it as he thought the school's principal had probably chased it away.

Beside him, Amelia coughed out slightly and lowered her head. Then quietly popped a pill into her mouth.
