Psycho, an infamous assassin, is known for their skills and ability to kill without the slightest bit of remorse.
But what isn't known, is that The Psycho is a woman.
To bring an end to a longstanding feud with the Russian Mafia, Adriano Moretti...
"Psycho! I know you're in there! Come out!" Mary yelled from outside my locked door.
"No thanks," I said unexcitedly.
She seethed, "Open this door!"
"Find a key," I deadpanned.
Not long after, I heard the door lock jingle.
"Guess she did find one," I sighed, preparing for her wrath.
She opened the door, looking frazzled.
"You." She pointed an accusing finger at me.
I stood up and took very slow steps towards her, careful not to anger the beast. "I don't see why I even have to attend this thing."
She huffed, "How many time do I have to explain this? If Elenora says you go, you go."
I didn't understand why everybody was so willing to do what this woman asked.
But I gave in, nonetheless. "Fine." I held my hands out as if she was about to handcuff me.
"Hurry, we lost a lot of time when I had to chase you down." She gestured for me to follow her. Less than a week ago, Santiago warned me about the Gala which took place tonight. The dreaded event had come sooner that I had thought.
We left the library which I had locked myself in and went upstairs, presumably to my bedroom.
Sitting in the middle of my room was a mannequin.
"Elenora sent over your dress." She smirked.
"That's mine?" My eyes went wide.

Mary only nodded.
"I don't understand, why would she send me a dress?" I looked over to Mary with creased eyebrows.
She sighed. "The better we look, the better my aunt looks."
That stopped me in my tracks. "Y-Your aunt? Elenora?"
She laughed. "Yes, she's my aunt. Moretti is my cousin."
My face still looked obviously confused, so Mary continued.
"Let's just say I got into a bit of trouble with my parents, so they sent me here for some "real-life experience" you know?" She used finger quotes and rolled her eyes.
I shook my head. "I had no idea."
She smiled, "Doesn't matter really, what matters now is that we both get ready in time."
