the mask of lies

my hero

by Maria .......

Hmpf ...... what's going on? I hear screams and guns everywhere.

Flashback ...........

"Maam! I want Mommy! Mommy!" I look around. People look sadly at the woman who 1 I call mom 2 is buried dead. "The vampires! The vampires did this to us!" "We're taking revenge!" Jaaaaaaa! All people quickly run to their weapons and run away. "Mama. They're fighting." "Heeeeeeey! Girl! Are you alone? I won't hurt you." "You're not wearing a mask. So you're not lying." "Shall we become friends?" "Yes, my name is Marianna Arede Hastano. You can call me Maria." "My name is Kai Hastings. For friends Kai." We shake hands and behind me, I hear a gunshot.

End of flashback .......

Huh .... what was that? And why right now? "Who is there?!" "Hey, Maria! Have you forgotten me? It's Martijn. I'm coming to take you to safety." "You have a mask. And it ... it's getting bigger. "

I'm backward. What should I do? I quickly get up and jump out of the window. I land on my feet and run out of the garden. Hey, Maria is waiting! The mask says you are telling the truth !!!! " " Lies! Lies! "And run. Where? Where can I hide?" Meow. " " Hey kitten. What are you doing here? " " Meow. " And walks into a remote street. I'll just follow him on luck .....

What is this? There is a mirror at the end of the hall. Small kitten. Should I look at it? " " Meow! "I look in the mirror and startled.

Huh! I feel hands and fall to the ground. The very last thing I see is someone's eyes. They look sad. It feels weird. As if I know him from somewhere. But where? And everything turned black.

By Kai...

"Well Martijn, it seems that you have already done my job." "What do you mean Kai?" "Well, I wanted to make sure she understands what the masks she's on really are. But it turns out you've already done it." "Masks of lies." "Yep, get ready. I brought you a present." "Kai! You don't like that girl right ?! Then why is she still with you ?!" "She knows I don't lie about my feelings for her. She doesn't need to see a mask for that. Do you know? I think Carolien will finish the story right, Caro?"

"Yes! Listen! I am very excited! If Maria knows who she is then we can become Meschien friends! Okay, listen Martijn. If you only wish to use Maria for a bad purpose then you have Kai and Zero with me. Okay, baby boy ?! " "Huh ..... and what do I get in return?" "A safe house in the acorden world. If Maria knows that you are protecting her, she will give you a safe house in the acorden world."

"How did you get her for your side Kai?" "Just. Telling her about Maria was enough." I still look at Carolien who is laughing at Martijn and then walk away. I'm supposed to find her. But how? "Miauw!" "Huh? Hey, little kitten. What are you doing here alone?" "Miauw!" "Take care of yourself." And continue walking along the streets. Where the hell do I start looking? This is going to be difficult again. "Miauw!" "Hey. Why are you chasing me all the time?" "Miauw!" I smile. He looks a lot like Maria. She hardly ever gives up. But now she is in a deep hole. I have to get her out. And quickly. Before anything happens to her.

By Maria ...........

"Huh, where am I?" "Lie still!" Immediately I lie on my back and look around me. Where did the sound come from? "So you are the infamous Mary. You are quite weak compared to the stories that are told about you." Suddenly, a boy steps out of the shadows. He's handsome!! "Shut your mouth, it's very rude." And with his index finger, he holds my chin and closes my mouth. He has pitch-black hair. And blue-gray eyes. Beautiful. "What's your name?" Potato chips! I have a peeping voice! "Don't be afraid. You know me. But your memories are not complete yet. When you have them all, you know who I am. Until then, my name will remain unknown. You can trust me. Just give me a name." "I'll call you ... I'll call you ........ Eagle!" "Thanks. It's my pet, by the way." "Are you hungry?"

"No, I have just eaten." "Okay. Maria listen. It's too dangerous here. You have to go back to Kai. He will protect you from danger." "Yes, but he hurt me." "You can stay with me, but life here is unpredictably difficult. You're not used to that. It's better if you go to Kai." "I'm not going straight to him." "Okay, if it is the night I will take you to your room. There you go to sleep as if nothing had happened. Okay?" "Thanks, Arend."

It is almost night. And Arend is sleeping outside. Which is not necessary. I don't know how Kai will react when he meets me in my bed. Or it becomes 'I missed you so much !!' Or 'why did you go out ?!' I think rather the second. "Kitten?" "Miauw!" "Would you like to come home with me?" "Miauw!" "That's nice of you. Come into this bag." "And the little kitten crawls into my handbag. Did I tell you that it is no bigger than my hand? Sweet." Maria comes and brings you to your bedroom. " Slowly I walk towards eagle and he lifts me in a bridal position. "Close your eyes. Because then it goes faster. "I do what I am asked because I am nice! And after a few seconds, I feel that Arend has entered a room and is laying me on the bed." Sleep trust Maria. I hope to see you again soon. "Quickly he kisses me on the forehead and disappears. Well well, he's fast.

"Brother! Did you find Maria !?" "No, but Martijn will certainly not bother us anymore!" So they are also at home now. And what now? Say I was here all the time? Okay. This will be a test of my acting skills. One two. Okay. I go for it!

"Hmpf. Why are you yelling like that?"

By Kai ......

"Shh. Someone is upstairs." "Who? Is above brother? Martijn?" "No, she has already been killed by Carolien."

"Hmpf. Why are you yelling like that?" And Maria comes down the stairs. It looks like she slept. Was with us all the time. Everything was just a nightmare. But she won't fool us.

"Maria! How dare you! "And I run over to her. I quickly hug her and repeat the sentence. Sorry, Kai. I dreamed that you left me alone. "That was a nightmare. Do not be afraid. I never will. Even if it costs my life. " "Kai you are my hero." "Sweety. " " And kiss her on the cheek. ''Do not be afraid. I'll save you from anything that can hurt you. " " I love her. I will never leave her alone again. " " Kai Maria. Can we continue talking in the living room? " " Okay. " " I and Maria say at the same time and walk into the living room. There is one vital announcement. Tomorrow there is a graduation party for final years. We're going there. And Kai. You're going with Maria. " " Haha. Carmen again with her boss's games. "Carmen, can I call you a car person?" "Yes! , And why is your voice trembling? " " Scared. " " "Maria ...." "I hug her and stroke her hair. I don't have to be quick. That can scare her even more. I have to help her. I promised her that.
