Aux Fin Lee's POV
"Aux, This came out of the mail today" Kiera Kins Grant handed me the red and expensive mail straight from the mail box. I opened it and it revealed a black mask that came with a red and well-designed invitation.
"So where do one wear this?" Kiera held the black mask on her hand.
"To the masquerade ball" I eagerly opened the thick tip of the paper.
"Meet me at the Columnade Hotel at 9:00 tomorrow. Wear your best suit. Watch your tardiness Mr. Hunter Duss Hall, if you're late for even a single minute. I'll take down all of the lights in the entire London grid and bomb every public building that exists in London. Be there, Don't test my bluff. You'll regret it" I read out the letter out loud.
Who says I'm hiding, Meeting him might just be my best option.
The ball started at precisely eight o'clock. The place was swarming of rich and spoiled people. Every inch of the place speaks of royalty and luxury. It was a place I would be fond of to see me and Kiera have a dance.
Our first and probably the start of a deeper romance between us.
I loved her so bad, I would catch a bullet for her.
"I have a reservation with the masked man" I tried not to catch everyone's attention but it seems that I always do even if I try to be so discrete.
A woman in a red and sexy ball gown was heading towards me. Her hair was tied in a very appealing and ravishing way. She left a few strands to frame her face. She removed her glitter riddled mask and revealled a blond girl with her sexy piercing smoky emerald eyes.
With a red lipstick that perfectly fits her puckered lips.
Looks like my sexy date has arrived.
I just want to grab her waist and kiss her to fulfil my greatest desire. To have that warm and ravishing lips on mine again. God knows how I missed her. I love the site I'm seeing that I want give her all my attention and forget about that annoying, nuisance and measly old man.
The hell with him, I'm with this sexy woman.
I held her hand and left her. I gave her the task to spy for me.
Her sexy outfit is her cover, I'm not complaining how she looks. I love this sexy version of her rather than the demure and deadly person that I learned to love.
That looks like him. A little part of me wanted to turn back and run away with my date and not run away in fear from being butchered and kill by this annoying old man.
I saw a young looking man with a replica mask of the masked man.
He removed his mask and removed a very young looking man in his 50's. He looked so dignified and respectable no one would suspect that he's the kind crazy enough to change the world and kill billions of people.
To satisfy his need, His hunger for change.
"You've already killed and destroyed countless people, When you ever get satisfied?"
"I'll never get satisfied until I separate the pure from the sinner. Even the bible agrees with me. The Black Plaque that killed thousands of people was the start of renaissance, reborn. The world changed and became pure. Now everywhere you look around, the world is swarming with them, trashes. Un-pure people who spreads too much darkness. I had to put justice into my own hands"
"How arrogant are you to think that you can change the world by killing people? You are not god. The power of judgement isn't in your own hands" I held the glass of mine in my hand.
"I admire your unfaltering courage. Such a shame you aren't on my side" he has scotch on the rocks in his hand and ignored the wine that the hotel crew had served.
"Don't waste your words on me for I'll never be on your side. I would never let a scum like you put law in their own hands" I gave him my most deadly grin. Deadly enough to intimidate the other guests staring at us.
"I admire someone who doesn't let anything stand in their way. Perhaps, we should make you more agreeable and hit you we're it hurts" He made a sign in his hands in mid air. Motioning his guards to capture her.
"Love is a weakness. If you want to beat me, then you'll have to get rid of her. Love is a luxury you can never afford" He stared at me and his eyes were saying checkmate.
He was awaiting for his victory to unfold.
She acted her part and let the guards seize her.
"You didn't think I wouldn't know. A man like you is foolish enough to be controlled by a mere woman. Sorry to play on your ego but an exceptional man like you is cursed to lose because of the weakness of loving a woman" He taunted me.
I watched his guards try to pin her down. She acted so careless and so vulnerable. I want to buy her act. They removed the guns with silencers on their pockets and aimed it on her. Then less than a fraction of a second, She broke free of the guards and kicked the guns from their hands.
The guns flew in the air for mere three second then it landed on her hand.
She kicked the guard straight in the face and landed a strong blow on their heads. She took them down for a minute. I was getting proud to have her as my girl. Every man looking at her had that intimidated and envious look at me every time I meet their gaze.
Then she used the gun to put a bullet through their skulls. Blood was spurting from their brain, it was a bloody and eerie sight to see.
"Is it?" I playfully smiled at him. My confidence unfaltering.
"I was wrong to underestimate you. We are not over. We are not even at the tip of the fun. Stay tuned. I have everything planned out to make you see which side you should be in and keep her. Let's see if your courage falters when you see her dead, in your arms" He didn't looked resolved. He felt challenged and I saw amusement in his eyes as he both stared at me and Kiera.
"If this is what intelligence brings you, It's not wrong to dream to be ignorant" I told him out of pure spite and disgust. He left me with an amused look and a playful grin.
"Thanks for the entertainment. It was fun"
The man was too eerie, I wouldn't know what to expect.
He looked like the kind of monster that would jump out of your bed and chase you out to kill you but before that he would first scare the hell out of you.
But I won't let him have that satisfaction.

This chapter was inspired by my best friend, Ruby. She looked more scary than Via if you spite her and start a war with her. Most of our classmates are terrified of the spunk that she has. Stay evil, My friend...
