Chapter 11

As Zoey left her apartment room and closed the door behind her. She dug her phone in her bag and started dialing Dawn's number.

"That's funny, is Dawn sleeping in?" She dialed it again only to get the same empty response. "I should have asked where she lived for times like this. Aren't I just the best?" She sighed. "Maybe she's already gone to school and just forgot her phone?" She thought. "This is bad."

Zoey hurriedly trudged down the stairs and pondered. She decided to just leave her a message in hopes she might get a reply from her.

She breathed in deeply and tried to exhale her anxiety out. This day will decide her fate. With Will leaving for an appointment, she only has this chance for her revenge. She had endured ten years of painful waiting just for this day and now she was hoping to finally get the things she deserved.

She tapped her white school blouse and skirt as she ran through the mission in her head once more.

She knew Williams has four henchman he relies on, the same four henchman who were with him when he massacred her village.

The first is Johnny, the devil with the bulky built and powerful arms. He was the most lunatic out of the four with his twitching eyes and greasy laugh. It wasn't a question, Zoey vowed to kill him first for he had killed Zoey's mother. He had scourged the basketball team's head coach and was now leisurely working as the team's varsity coach. She despised him so much.

The second one is Steve, the devil with the most sturdy body. He was the biggest of the four but because of this he was also the slowest. But he was not to be underestimated. He packed powerful punches strong enough to destroy concrete walls. He had scourged the head janitor and is now disguised perfectly as the head of the social service room.

Third is Karen Blake, the spectacled lady with silver blue hair. She was one of the most mysterious devil she knew. Zoey barely knew anything about her even within those ten years she spent with the group. Karen was always with Will that was all Zoey knew about her. She had scourged the secretary and had been with Will's side ever since they had started the plan of running the school. Seeing how close Karen was with Will, they seem to have a relationship beyond this whole neo army operation.

Zoey guessed that she wasn't the combat type, but more of an intel gathering type. Or she could be wrong. Something was telling Zoey that Karen was something more than just that.

And finally, the leader of the group who Zoey haven't seen yet. He was with the group when they raided her village but ever since that event, Will has been assigning him a lot of tasks outside this mission.

Zoey never got the chance to see him, not that she cared.

Will was going away with Karen and their leader, leaving only Steve and Johnny. This made her mission advantageous.

Zoey passed through the huge school gates. Even though it was still early, the school had that uncanny silence. Zoey shrugged it off and continued forward.

She walked briskly to the right wing of the university. She pushed her back against the cold concrete wall. She breathed in deeply before sneaking inside and trudged down the stairs to their clubroom, the burrow of her mother's murderer.

The hallway was dark and silent, but Zoey went on. She touched the knob and felt the coldness slowly die with her warmth.

However, the room was silent. Nobody was inside.

"That's unusual. Johnny rarely leaves this place." She was baffled. Something was wrong and she could feel it.

The far end of the dark hallway was the huge door to the gymnasium. The glow underneath the door caught her attention. She walked towards it cautiously but stopped midway. She could hear faint noises. Her curiosity swelled as she pushed the door open slowly.
