UNDER THE MASK - EPISODE 11

★★★★★

Kaitlyn quickly broke the hug at the mention of revenge

“What are you planning to do?” She asked, stepping back

“You don’t have to be scared queen, I’ll go easy” he said and stepped closer

“Don’t come closer!” She said sharply, pointing her palm forward

Min smiled naughtily and stopped

“What kind of revenge will you have?, You don’t plan on doing exactly what I did right?” She asked

” I’m not like that, but something more cool” he smiled

” And that is?” She asked

” I won’t tell you now” he replied

“No I want to listen right now” she replied

“I won’t tell you” he said and started walking away

She followed behind, bothering him to tell her till they got back to the academy

Eden is the first person they met. “Kaitlyn let’s talk please” he said pleadingly

“Why should we talk?, I’m a betrayer right?, I told your secret to Rainbow” she replied sarcastically

” No I mean….

“I don’t want to listen to you” Kaitlyn interrupted and left before he could form a sentence

” So you’re the one” Min said with his arms akimbo

” Min try to understand, I…

“I’ve heard from many people in this academy that you have a nasty temper but i never expected it to be as bad as this, not everyone can take yelling but you yelled at her, she’s obviously hurt” Min said

” It was Rainbow who told me Kaitlyn told her…

“Rainbow?, The seven coloured girl who won’t stop perambulating?, For crying out loud, try to always think before acting, stop being irrational, Rainbow is surely lying cos though I’ve only know Lynn for a short time but I know she’ll never tell anyone’s secrets to another person, she’s not like that believe me” Min replied

Eden held Min’s arm lightly. ” You have to help me beg her, please huh?” He said

“Of course,but you have to promise that such won’t happen again” Min smiled

” Sure it won’t, thanks brother” Eden smiled as Min left him.

*****

” He won’t even let me explain myself, he only believed what Rainbow told him, and why will Rainbow tell him I told her something like that?, Is she this kind of person?” Kaitlyn said to herself, walking around her room when she finally got in

She sat on her bed and heaved. “I guess I have to be careful” she thought

A knock sounded on her door and she stood to get it immediately

It’s Rainbow, standing by her doorstep with a wide smile on her face, the type of smile that won’t make her look like someone who can actually do what she did

“Kaitlyn, let’s go to the games hall, everyone is there, let’s go play games” she said

” You told Eden I was the one who told you about what happened to him?” Kaitlyn asked straight

Rainbow smiled deceptively but successfully hid the deception under that smile

“I didn’t do that, I only told him I saw when you were healing his wound, he must have heard wrong” she replied cheerfully

” Heard wrong?”

” Yes, Eden has a nasty temper, that shouldn’t be a bother, did he tell you I said that?” Rainbow asked

” Nevermind” Kaitlyn replied

” Come on let’s go there” Rainbow said and pulled her hand

Kaitlyn led the way with various thoughts on her mind

“Who should I believe?” She thought as she walked

“I feel like killing you right now” Rainbow thought, bringing out her sword

She walked closer to Kaitlyn and is about to stab her from behind…

“You guys are going to the game hall without me” Venus said from behind and Rainbow quickly returned her sword carefully

Kaitlyn looked back and smiled when she saw Venus

“I’m angry” Venus pouted and Rainbow started tickling her

Kaitlyn joined in and she laughed out loud

“Ok ok, I’m not angry anymore” Venus said, still laughing lightly and they let her go

They went to the game hall together and everyone is already in there .

*****
Cruella’s Chamber**

“Enter the room” Cruella said, gesturing at the dark room in her parlour

The door is decorated with bones of animals and maybe humans and smokes is emanating from the room

“You mean.. I’ll enter this room?” Depp asked fearfully

“Are you scared?, Supernatural?” Cruella asked cunningly

“No I’m not” he replied, looking at the room

“Then enter the room, you’ll get what you want” Cruella said assuredly

Depp took slow steps into the room and his breathing became intense as he looked around the scary creepy room

Shrill laughter took over the place and he can’t help but shiver as sweat covered his brows

The laughter grew louder and louder as the whole room shake violently and he almost fell but something pull his back to the wall

His back stick to the hot wall and he cried out loudly as his back burn badly

He was able to get off the wall after three minutes of sticking to the hot wall and he fell heavily with sweaty face and red eyes

The room calmed down and he managed to stand up, a mirror appeared in front of him and he checked out his back

His eyes widened at what he saw, he now has the mark of a big scorpion on his back

“What’s…what’s this?” He asked

“The sign that you’re now one of us, you now share in my power, just do anything, you’ll find yourself doing it, just get the orb as fast as possible, there’s no time to waste” Cruella said, entering the place

” I’m now powerful?” Depp asked surprisingly

“Is this how your body felt before?, Don’t you feel different?” Cruella asked, smiling devilishly

” I truly feel different” he replied, checking out his back once again

” Now go, and bring me the orb, failure to bring me the orb means death” Cruella said

” If I may ask, why do you need the orb?” Depp asked

“The orb is one of the major things that’s making the supernatural beings catch the demons who visit the academy easily, once the orb is gone, even the strongest supernatural Won’t be able to stop demons from invading the academy, the only person who’ll be able to do that in that period will be the queen of supernatural beings” Cruella said

” Kaitlyn? ” Depp said

” But she’ll soon be captured by us, she’s the sacrifice we need to wake the demon princess Amoura” Cruella smirked.

” So no side effects?” Depp asked

Cruella faced him swiftly

” Of course there is… you’ll know the side effects when it starts happening to you, you’ll find yourself doing things you don’t wanna do, things of the heart” Cruella replied

” Things of the heart?* Depp wondered

****

“Eden said he’s sorry” Min said to Kaitlyn immediately she entered the game hall

“I’ve forgotten about it, I just wasn’t expecting that from him” Lynn replied

” Queen Lynn, forget about it please?” Min smiled

” I’m not queen Lynn” she rolled her eyes

” Trust me you are, you just don’t know yet” Min smiled

” Let’s start the game” Venus announced and Damon stopped playing his keyboard

Athena entered happily and sat with the girls

Mercury entered and sat far away from them

“What game are we playing?” Kaitlyn asked

” Let’s make someone choose between two things” Damon suggested, coming from the stage to join them

” Ok, I’ll go first” Athena said, facing Damon

“I’m listening” Damon said

” Love or friendship?” Athena asked

“Friendship” Damon replied simply

” My tunes or the kitchen?” Damon asked

” Your tune of course” she smiled and everyone laughed

” She obviously likes him” Rainbow thought

Venus faced Eden. “Master Asher or master Lett?” She asked

“Master Lett” he replied

” Date Depp or go on hunger strike for seven days?” Eden asked

” The hunger strike will be better” Venus replied just at when Depp was just entering

” You’re a fool” he spat when he heard that

” Are you hurt?” Venus mocked and everyone laughed

Rainbow faced Kaitlyn

“me or Venus?” Kaitlyn asked

“You” Rainbow replied and smiled mischievously

“Min or Eden?” She asked carefully and the whole place went silent

” I knew it” Athena whispered

Kaitlyn looked at Min and then at Eden before looking at Rainbow again

“We’re losing time” Rainbow said

“Changmin” Kaitlyn replied

“Whoa!” Rainbow smiled while Kaitlyn faced the ground.

Eden gave a fake smile while Min smiled brightly

“Mercury and Depp, your turn” Damon said

“I’m not interested” they both said at the same time

” That’s not allowed, once you’re in, you’re bound to play” Rainbow rolled her eyes

” Fine” Mercury replied and faced him

Immediately their eyes met, instead of seeing the Mercury he hates, Depp saw a lovely Mercury who’s smiling at him brightly

The next surprising thing is his heartbeat, it’s increasing rapidly

“Depp” he said, slapping himself to wake up from his dream but it’s not a dream at all

“Depp talk!” Eden said loudly

He looked at everyone before looking back at Mercury and he’s still seeing a smiling girl

He stood from his seat and walked closer to her

“Is this really you?” He asked

“Are you crazy?” Mercury asked in an angry voice but the face he’s seeing is smiling

“Mercury” he said again

Mercury tried pushing him away from herself but it’s Impossible, he’s too strong

He held her waist and drew her to himself, making everyone gasp

“Let me go!” Mercury ranted

“You’re so pretty” he said, holding her cheek

“Is something wrong with your head?, Let go of me!” Mercury said angrily and instead of seeing an angry face, he’s seeing a pretty one with a smile on her lips

“Her lips” he thought and it echoed in his head and each time it echoes, he felt the need to taste them

Her lips

Her lips

Her lips

It kept echoing like that till he covered the inches between them

“No no…no .. no!” His mind screamed as he finally succeeded in crashing his lips on hers.
