Next day, it is all over the news with the death of the mayor and I got a hard slap across my face by Lensa. She was yelling at me, she was pissed and I do not blame her. She didn't even notice at how everyone was looking at us, she was fired up. It was kind of hot frankly, I never saw her with that fire and vigor. In the middle of an argument I get a call, it is from the police. My heart drops, what if I was discovered. But it wasn't that, Tobias and Krik have been killed. The phone falls onto the ground, shattering and Lensa quickly changes up her mood. She sees the shock in my eyes, but at the same time, a deep felt hatred. And I know who did it, she warned me that my choice would have consequences but to think she would go after my friends. Anger takes over and I start punching the wall, the students stare in shock, I punch until my hands drip with blood. Lensa tried to calm me down. I head on inside and to the bathroom, trying to calm down and washing my hand. As I look up at the mirror, I see it again. Not my own reflection, but something else. A stern and tall figure, wearing a dark coat and some military uniform, on its head is a cap and a strange looking mask with a pipe going around to the back. Black wings sprout out of it, it's whole presence is creepy. As I look down for a moment I appear to be it, but as I blink again it is all gone. Like nothing was actually there. I will hunt that bitch down, if I have to go to that damn academy then I will. I go to class, acting normal, which does freak out Lensa even more but I just act normal, don't care. Because, tonight, my hunt begins. I look at Lensa, she said that her sister goes to that damn academy, I do feel bad but I will use her. During the class I ask her to see if her sister knows anything about Anya and with that, the school day is concluded.
In my room I wait, wait for that call to tell me where I might find that bitch. I should feel sorrow or despair, I lost my friends, but I don't, I feel angry. It is my fault that they died and I will avenge them. Then, the fated call comes in, I quickly pick it up.
Lensa: Hey, Quinn, how are you?
Me: Good. Have you found out what I wanted?
Lensa: Yeah, but are you going to do?
Me: I am sorry but that is none of your business.
Lensa: Quinn you have to tel...
Me: Where can I find her?
My voice was low and menacing, cold and psychotic.
Lensa: S-She has a restaurant in downtown. You might find her there. It is called The Tulip, named after her favorite flower.
Me: Good, thank you.
Lensa: Wait, don't do any..
I hand up and walk over to my closet. I dig through it until I find a mask I wore when I was little boy, it was big for me then, but now, it is more than perfect. A mask of my favorite character when I was a kid, a little pig called Perky. But it is stained with dry blood, never bothered to clean it. I change clothes, putting on a suit and tie that we bought for my prom, putting on the mask I look myself in the mirror. I call the taxi and sneak out of the house and wait outside. My parents are asleep, so it wasn't that hard. Once the taxi is there I tell him to go to downtown. One good thing about a taxi is that they don't ask questions. I summon a .44 Magnum.
