¤The Mansion Maid¤

Chapter Fifteen

You walk in silence next to the ski-masked man. You and Hoodie don't really talk outside of mission, but you do respect him. Maybe you should start a conversation?

"(Y/N)."

Nevermind.

You look up at him, waiting for him to continue. "Do you know why Toby hasn't been himself lately?" He asked, facing forward as the two of you strolled through the woods.

"Uh, not really. Why?"

"I feel like you do know." He insisted on you telling him whatever you knew. It was a bit creepy. You look away. Even under that ski mask of his, you could feel his gaze.

"No idea." There were a few minutes of silent walking. The tension flew super thick.

He stopped you in your tracks, holding his arm out. He brought his finger up to where his lips should be, signally for you to shut up.

One of the boys you saw yesterday, the brown haired boy. Why is he in the woods anyway? You put your hand out. Hoodie glanced at you, his expression confused under his ski mask.

He walked past the bush you two were hiding behind, allowing you to listen in to what he was mumbling.

"The police are so useless. Now I have to go around these haunted ass woods cause they can't figure shit out..."

You narrow your eyes, you hate how familiar this guy was. Did you know him? You shake your head, ridding yourself of the confusing thoughts. You probably didn't. You held your hand out to Hoodie, who stared at you for a brief moment. He slowly gave you his gun, why did you want to be the one who kills this guy?

You move out of the bush, standing in front of the brunette. "(Y/N)? Is it really you?" Oh shit, you weren't wearing that mask. It's too late to think about it.

The man narrowed his eyes. Something's wrong. "Com' on. It's me, Alex. Milo's been worried sick. We sent Rylie to go find you but he never got back to us."

Your eyes sharpened, Rylie? That name's familiar.

■□■□■□■

'you were expecting some guy in a police uniform. He looked like he knew you too.
"(Y/N)! Right? Why are you in this weird abandoned place? Please, just come home. Everyone misses you!"

— — — —

"Do you not remember me? It's Rylie, Milo's friend? He told me to look for you. Milo misses you, your friend? Don't tell me you forgot!"
"Right, just stay right there. Let me get my stuff."
Hearing a knock on your door, you opened the door and pointed to your window. He wordlessly jumped out the window.
He returned soon after, his hatchet bloody. "Thanks Toby."'

...

When was that? You couldn't remember.

Oh well.

The man took a step forward and you almost immediately pulled the gun out, pointing the barrel of the weapon to his head. His eyes widened, holding his hands up.

"(Y/N), I don't know what happened but-"

You pulled the trigger.

His head jerked back.

BANG

Hoodie stood next to you, staring at the dead body of 'Alex'. Your hands were shaking, adrenaline pumping through your bloodstream.
