Bloody Queen

Chapter 5 – Betrayed

As of today, that unbelievable story has still been circling the world. The story of that demon girl who they call Aviana, who has great powers that can eradicate all the living things in the world including mankind.

The story is about her life, her treacherous life. The first time I listened to her story, I pitied her. Her life was full of pain and sacrifices.

All the people that she loves die either because of her enemies or by her own hands. People who were afraid and envied her abilities tried all their might just to eliminate her.

Even so, why is her life the only story that spread all over the world when some of her ancestors were demons?

Is she special or something?

Is she different from her ancestors?

Or is it just that she didn't get the chance to cover all her tracks when she left this world?

People were afraid of her story, afraid of her to be exact. For the reason that they know, she will come back. The missing piece of the story had already spread. They were afraid of her revenge.

Although, we don't know who that person will take revenge on. She already killed the people who made her life miserable.

However, the people who have known her story trembles in fear. Some people believe and some don't. We all know one thing in common and that is her soul is inside someone else’s body.

We tend to find that person to kill whether it's a woman, a kid, or even a baby. She must be eliminated because she can bring tragedy to this world.

"Vivian," Ravana called towards me while running from upstairs.

She is one of the children of the mansion. The one who is always beside Clint.

I'm in the living room and I'm currently reading a book. It's already midnight. The house is quiet when she called for me worriedly.

"What is it?" I asked when she was already in front of me.

All of the kids in the living room looked in our direction but we didn't mind their gazes. I’m acquainted with the children which were already here when I came unlike, these new children. They are just not too approachable that is why I don’t bother to be close with them.

"Mr. Azier wants me to give you this," Ravana said. I looked at it first before I took it from her.

What is this again?

Dress?

Bag?

Or another mission?

I carefully opened this black box in my hand and the only thing inside is a picture. I took a glimpse at it. It was a photo of a girl. I froze when I recognized who the person is. My hands got numb and the next thing I know is that the box fell to the floor. A tear had escaped from the corners of my eyes but I managed to wipe it fast.

Don't cry, Vivian. You should know what is going on first.

Although I was trembling because of fear, I immediately turned my back on Ravana and run. Run as fast as I could.

"Vivian where the hell are you going?!" Ravana shouted but I didn't mind her.

I know that if Mr. Azier gave us a photo, we need to kill the person inside that but I just can't understand why?

What did she do?

She is just a friend!

I haven't spilled any secrets towards her.

Why does she have to die?

I hurriedly run towards the third floor of the house.

When I arrived in front of his office, his door was wide open. I can see him from outside. He is sitting on his chair while silently looking at the picture frame in his hands.

It’s as if he was waiting for me to come in.

"Mr. Azier why her? What did she do to be killed?! And by me?!" I asked loudly and was about to come into his office when Clint stopped me.

"Get out of my way," I said as my hands turned into fists ready to aim at his face.

"Let her in." Mr. Azier said. He was already looking in my direction. Clint made way for me.

"Don’t lose your composure to this Vivian," Clint whispered without looking at me. I didn’t bother what he said and hurriedly went inside.

"WHY HER?!" I shouted at him. You can hear the frustration in my voice. This is the second time that I got furious and shouted at him.

He raised me until now and I should be respecting him but why is he doing this to me?

Elena is my friend.

"You’ll immediately die with that heart of yours. This is why I’m telling you that you’re still weak. You shouldn’t have acquainted yourself with people if this is how you’ll behave. Your friend… knows too much." He said staring straight through me.

Weak?

I already know that, that is why I’ve been trying to protect her without telling her the truth about my identity.

What the hell is he even talking about?

What does he mean she knows too much when I haven't even spilled anything to her?

I walked closer to him but I pulled up my guns from my waist. I aimed it at his head. I heard Clint and the others who were outside his office come in but, they didn't stop me. They just stayed inside and watched me with their guns pointed at me.

"What do you mean?" I asked as I diverted my attention toward him once again. I'm trying so hard not to f*****g pull the trigger. I need answers but he just simply looked at me blankly.

No!

I don't like this.

"She's a spy, gathering information from you. If you don't want to kill her, then I would." He spoke. I felt weak when I heard him say, spy.

A spy?

I carefully put back my gun onto my waist as I stepped back. There’s no reason for Mr. Azier to lie but I don’t want to believe that this is true. I shook my head and hurriedly went outside his office. I have to ask her.

I have to...

"VIVIAN GET DOWN!" Ravana shouted as she fell to the floor.

"RAVANA!" I called as I run towards her.

I immediately touched her pulse but there was none. I put my ears towards her chest. I can't hear her heartbeat. She was shot near her chest. Blood was already overflowing throughout her body.

She is dead.

My surroundings were moving slowly as if everything was playing in a movie.

What the hell is happening?

The children are running and shooting these armed men who suddenly showed up in our mansion. I immediately pulled out my guns once again and started to shoot these uninvited guests who have been trying to kill everyone.

How did they know this place?

I stopped when I saw someone familiar right in front of me.

"Elena," I called but she just gave me a devilish grin. I snickered a laugh before I began to laugh like a crazy woman.

Damn!

I aimed my guns toward her. I'm so f*****g stupid to trust someone. Wayde already warned me not to be friends with anyone because he or she might be an enemy. I didn't listen and still made friends with Elena.

Now, this is my outcome, I made my comrades in danger, especially Mr. Azier.

"s**t Elena!" I spoke. She pointed her gun at me too. She really is a goddamn spy.

Did she dare to use me?

"Let's both die together." Elena surprisingly said and was about to pull her trigger.

But you see, I already became an excellent assassin despite this weak heart of mine. It only means that she's too slow to kill this b***h. In the end, I killed the one who I began to care for.

I killed her...

"Vivian are you alright?" Wayde asked running towards me. I nodded as an answer, he sighed in relief.

Thank God that he is alright!

I don't know what I'll do if anything happens to him. I already treated him as my big brother and I won't forgive myself if he dies because of me.

I looked around the ruined mansion. Those who attacked us were killed on the spot but some had escaped when they saw that I killed Elena. She must be the one leading them.

Everything is a mess. Other than that, a lot had died today.

It's because of me, I did all this.

"This is my fault," I said.

“If I didn't trust her and made friends with her in the first place then this wouldn't happen to us. I'm such a disappointment.” I added grasping onto his shirt so tightly.

“It’s alright.” He said embracing me as he caressed my hair. No wonder why it's too strange that she asked me to be her friend when she knew that other people avoided me.

"I should pay for it," I said as I pushed him hard. He was caught off guard when I immediately pointed the gun at my head.

"If you want to pay for it, you only have to do one thing." Mister Azier suddenly said while going down the stairs.

I put down my gun and hurriedly went towards him but when I was finally close, I froze when I saw that he was shot. I was about to hold him but he shook his head as a sign of refusal.

"Find her before they do." He said and fell from his knees. I hurriedly came towards him.

Where are Clint and the others?

Were they killed?

My hands were getting numb as I searched for Wayde.

"Give him to me." Wayde suddenly showed up beside me and immediately helped Mr. Azier to stand up.

"Take him to Dr. Isiah. FAST!" I said and he nodded in response. The other children helped too when they saw Mr. Azier's state. I already let go when I knew that they can take him safely to Dr. Isiah.

We can't go to the hospital because we might get questioned by the police. We can't tell them that someone attacked our mansion. They will investigate the attack and maybe, later on, they will start to investigate about us. That may lead to a very difficult situation.

I was left inside the mansion in deep thoughts.

I'm still looking at the door but they already left about an hour ago.

What have you done Vivian?

The other children started to clean up the mess. I looked at the dead bodies and some of them were already friends with me including Ravana. This is my fault.

"I'll surely find her," I said to myself and closed my eyes as I breathed heavily.

I gathered my strength then headed toward Mr. Azier's office. Yet, I stopped when I saw Clint and the other children's lifeless bodies lying on the floor. I was unable to move.

It's my fault.

I snapped back into reality when I heard the children start to clean the third floor too. I went inside Mr. Azier's office and started to open his drawers which contain folders for our missions. All this classified information is available and free for us, children of the mansion.

Some of the documents inside contain Aviana's information and I know that these documents are real. I don't know where will I start searching for her damn soul but hell, I am willing to search the world just to kill her.

However, Mister Azier just ordered me to find her. I stopped reading. What do they want from her in the first place? That made me blink, twice. Erase that question, I'll just find her.

I looked at the paper that I was currently reading again. There is a photo of the prestigious school of the Mastavo Academy.

Prestigious because before only wealthy and known people can study here but not anymore. Everyone found out that the academy is actually for gangsters and the mafia's sons and daughters.

If others fear this academy, not me. Other than being known as an academy capable of handling kids like that, I bet that the kids here can’t even hardly hold a gun or fight someone on a one-on-one.

This school is where Aviana went to in the story and this school is where Aviana met Ace.

If her soul is inside a human's body she will come back here. I can sense it. I smiled realizing something.

I think that I need to transfer to another school.
