HANDSOME PSYCHO

>

The new recruits were ten in number with them being seven male and three female.

Chris being one of the seven male recruit stood against a tree, starring at Aurora's picture which he brought with him when coming to Italy.

When he arrive the other day, his phone had been taken and he hasn't seen any other means to call her, she must be worried about him?

"New recruits gather around " Gray, the man in charge of the new recruits said as ten of them surround him.

"Today, we will be learning how to shoot a gun. Have anyone of you ever killed someone?" Gray ask, looking intimidating as always.

No one reply except for a girl who raise her hand.

"So you have killed someone?" Gray ask the girl who shook her head in answer.

"Then why raise your hand?"

"It's just that she's sick, she's been pale since morning" Beth said starring at the girl beside her.

Gray walk towards the two of them, starring at Beth then at the girl who is indeed sick.

"Being sick isn't an excuse for her to leave. The training continues" Gray said cruelly.

"But she's sick and...." A slap landed on her face ending whatever protest she was going to make, and that startled everyone.

"First rule in stone castle, no one undermine their leader, there are consequence if you do" Gray said.

With bloody lips, Beth glare at him about to speak, but the sick girl stop her.

"Don't, I will be fine" the sick girl said but Beth was too angry to let it go.

"Consequence you say? Tell me what consequence will you face if anything happens to her?" Beth ask, blood trickling down her mouth.

"Are you still talking back at me?" Gray ask, walking towards Beth who didn't cower in fear.

At that moment, Jerome arrive at the scene but instead of interfering, he stood back watching how Gray handle the situation.

"She's sick and need attention. Is that too much to ask?" Beth said in return.

"Then she should never have come if she knew she's going to be a weakling. The job we do here isn't meant for weaklings!" Gray rasp out in anger.

"She never wanted to do this job, she applied here to be a maid and nothing else" Beth said, standing her ground.

"Seems like you little bitch need some beating to know how to respect your superior" Gray said, pushing Beth which made her fall backwards.

"Put your head down! Put down your freaking head and stop glaring at me" Gray said to Beth who kept glaring.

Gray pulled out his gun, pointing it at Beth who still didn't cower in fear.

He would have pull the trigger if it wasn't for Chris who took the gun from him.

"What the hell are you doing?" Gray yell at him.

"Just because you are our superior doesn't give you the right to hit anyone most especially a girl" Chris said, glaring at him.

"Seems like you two are asking for it" Gray said, pulling out another gun.

"Gray!" Jerome call got Gray turning around.

"What's going on?" Jerome ask, approaching them.

"It's just some recruits trying to act smart but I have it under control. Don't worry" Gray explain while Chris help Beth up.

Jerome ignore Gray explanation and walk towards Beth who was dusting dirt off her body.

"Why don't you tell me what's going on?" Jerome ask as Beth stare at him.

"If I tell you, are you sure you won't take his side?" Beth ask, wondering why she found his eyes alluring.

"Try me" Jerome urge, a smile splaying on his lips.

"A friend of mine applied to work here as a maid but they made her join us which is something she's not use to. She's pale and sick and when I told him, he hit me" Beth said, glaring her hate at Gray.

"That's a lie, you know...."

"Is that your friend?" Jerome ask, cutting Gray off.

"She is. Come here, Velvet" Beth beckon as Velvet walk towards them.

Jerome signal two guards and ordered them to accompany Velvet to the infirmary.

"A lady called Bloom will come see you but make sure you get enough rest, Velvet" Jerome said to Velvet who nodded and left with the guards.

"I think you should go to the infirmary too" Chris said to Beth who shook her head, saying.

"I am fine"

"Your friend is right, you should let the doctor...."

"If I can't handle a injure lips then how will I be able to handle a gunshot. This is nothing compared to what I will be facing in the future" Beth said, refusing Jerome help.

Her refusal should have gotten Jerome angry but instead it got him intrigue.

Taking out his handkerchief, he place it in Beth hand.

"Use it to wipe the blood. A lady should to look pretty at all time" He said, walking to whisper to Gray to handle the new recruits with care before sauntering off.

He stop a distance away, wanting to have one last look at Beth and saw her pocketing his handkerchief.

She didn't throw it away, he thought as a smile tilt his lips.

________

An hour has gone by since Aurora met the handsome psycho who wants to marry her.

She has been trying to get through to Mia and her mom, but there's no answer, she called Chris again and still, she got no answer.

What will she do? She can't possibly stay here and get married in place of Mia.

She have to escape, Aurora thought as she begin to put her things into her bag.

With that done, Aurora went downstairs making sure no one see her.

She manage to get outside only for her to encounter two men in black, judging by their appearance, it's obvious that they are one of the numerous guard working for the psycho.

"It's madam" one of them said, recognizing her.

"I just....I just need to get some air. Do you know where my...my fiance is?" Aurora ask, forcing herself to say the word fiance.

"He's at the torture room. Do you want us to take you there?"

"No! You can just tell me and...."

"It's your first time here. You might get lost, let me take you" one of them insist, walking her to the back of the house where a little house was built separately.

She had only lie to them that she wanted to see Rico, if she had known that the guard will insist on accompanying her, she would never have said so.

"It's okay. I can find him myself " Aurora said as they got to the entrance of the room.

The man took her word for it and left. Aurora was about leaving as well when she heard someone scream out in pain.

Feeling curious, she went further in and heard the scream again.

She followed the voice and got to a door which was slightly open.

She peep through the open doorway and saw a man tied to a chair, his body bloody and covered in injury and standing in front of him is Rico, holding a gun.

"I hate people who waste my time" She heard Rico say and without any warning, Rico pull the trigger, ending the man life.

Shock to the bone, Aurora took to her heels, running out of the building in a rush.

Fear and anxiety coursing through her at that moment.

'What exactly is this place? Who are this people? I need to leave, I need to get out of here before I end up being killed'

Aurora thought as she kept running for her life.
