KALOPSIA // Five Hargreeves

SIXTEEN// masks

The first thing that Rae saw when she opened the stall was Five's signature smirk.

"What did you say?" She repeated slowly.

"That was a lie." He grinned, putting his right hand in his jean pocket, "Then why did you say that?" She replied back, annoyance laced her voice.

She noticed his brunette hair glisten through the girls bathroom window and she doesn't like the way she wants to reach out and touch it.

"Made you open the stall door, didn't it?" He raised his eyebrow tauntingly at the girl. She still didn't go out of the stall which made Five roll his eyes. He held his hand out for the girl,

Rae sighed and hesitated but she still accepted his hand. It felt warm on her own, which resulted in Rae blushing and she really wanted to bury herself for blushing because of him.

Well, they're partners, kinda frenemies but Rae isn't even sure Five considers her as a friend.

"I don't have time for this shit so please, let's just go home. My home." He inquired after a while of awkward silence.

"Turns out the doctor has been manufacturing the eyes, I need to go and spy on him tonight." Five spoke up making the girl look up to her bedroom door.

"How'd you know?" She replied back, unsure as to why he proclaimed about the doctor. They witnessed it first hand, he didn't do it.

"I can feel it," He shrugged, "Anyways, I'm gonna go and spy on him tonight." He began walking back out but Rae stood up,

"Okay." Rae stood up and began following Five, he noticed this then began stopping.

"I meant me as in singular." He sassed, pushing Rae lightly back to the guest room. Annoyance written in her face she stood her ground, being stubborn and dramatic was one of her many talents.

"No way am I leaving you alone. You could get killed!"

"What are you, my mother?" Five countered, making the girl cross her arms and glare at him. He sighed, he knew he needed to keep her safe, he heard her Father's threat.

"I don't have time for this."

"Neither do I-" the brunette was cut off when she heard the sound of Five doing his spacial jump. She grumbled and stomped her foot back to her room. But being as stubborn as before she grabbed her jacket,

Before she could exit the premise she heard a loud click from the living room. Fear was the first thing she felt. Someone was breaking in.

She was frozen in place but she came back to her senses and quickly hid to a room the farthest away from the living room. It was the basement, she grabbed a billiard stick and went to the back of the vending machine, feeling the heat which made her skin burn. But it was better than being seen by people with creepy masks on. That was the moment she realized that her life was officially screwed.

Muttering a silent prayer to herself, she got surprised by the loud crash and the grunts that followed. She peeked through and saw Allison Hargreeves with a billiard stick, she tried to dodge and hit the person with the mask but seemed to fail since they were far more agile and skilled than Allison.

She momentarily touched her nose, feeling it sore from a hit she took. Rae grimaced once she saw blood oozing down the woman. Allison spat to the carpeted floor, a sense of determination in her. Rae could tell Allison was pissed, and she can't help but feel sorry to the poor victim right in front of her.

Filler chapter because I'm slowly losing interest in writing my books nowadays since I'm pursuing my hobby for editing.

But, I promise to finish this.. Maybe.
