The figure stepped forward, its features illuminated by the faint light. Amelia gasped as she recognized the town's mayor, his eyes cold and calculating.
"Ah, Amelia," he said, his voice dripping with malice. "I see you're curious about our little secret."
Veron's eyes flashed with anger, but he remained silent, his jaw clenched.
The mayor chuckled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "You see, Veron here is a very special pawn. One who has been trained to do our bidding."
Amelia's mind reeled as she realized the true extent of the conspiracy. "What do you mean?" she demanded.
The mayor smiled, his lips curling up. "Veron is a product of our little program. A program designed to create the perfect killer."
Amelia's eyes widened in horror as she looked at Veron, her mind racing with questions. Was it true? Was Veron a trained killer?
Veron's eyes met hers, and for a moment, Amelia saw a glimmer of something else - something almost like regret.
But then, his mask slipped back into place, and he nodded, his voice cold. "Yes, it's true. I'm a monster."
The mayor chuckled, his eyes glinting with triumph. "And now, Amelia, you're a part of our little secret. A secret that must be kept at all costs."
Amelia knew she was in grave danger. She had to escape, to expose the truth before it was too late.
