The intense drama all began from one of my many reckless decisions.

I was on my way to the candy store before school, since I was the only one on the street Bob the newspaper man handed me a copy of the daily news. I don't even know why he held so much ethusiasim in continuesly giving newspapers full of political conferences to teenagers. Not like we cared much. I  shook my head as I read the headlines. Another missing child in Rootas. This town is so very mysterious with often missing children.

I kicked a piece of cardboard in my way, and pulled on a push door again, daily routine. I always treat myself before school, it is the only thing that gets me through hours of boredom. I wicked my nose as the usual smoky rosemary and scent washed up towards me, i am not a fan of flower fragrances. Why go into so much fuss in making artificial perfumes when the results is just a bad copy of the scent of nature? I headed towards the new chewing bars everyone has been gossiping about for the last few weeks without hesitation. I am not missing out on the lastest trend.

Rosemary saw me and quickly glided her lips with a glossy lipstick and smiled with too much enthusiasm to welcome me. I'm not a boy that hold interest in makeups, but her usual lipstick is just way too emphasized for the constumers to not take any notice in the 'glossy' part. Her smiles gives me constant goose pumps as her silver teeth flashes between her lips. The cloths she wore was oddly vivid as usual, with the slik slipping effortlessly over her heels.  I like this lady though, she is welcoming and kind to all her costumers and ofter over-ethusiastic, but it is just some strange out looks that just does not somehow add up altogether perfectly to me... I shook my head for all the thoughts I had. What can she be? She is just a nice and ordinary lady owning a loved candy store in Rootas.

Unfortunately I am wrong, again. Rosemary's fakeness fooled everyone around Rootas. There might have been a few times that her outside fakes came out, but her internal cruelty and violence were hidden behind the beautiful illusion.
