"Thanks for the ride." Elizabeth said looking him in the eye with a gentle smile making him blush and smile unconsciously.
"Get a room both of you." Victoria said before pushing the door open and closing.
Her comment made both of them blush a deep red.
Victoria unlocked the door with her spare key and huffed looking at Vanessa on the sofa.
Elizabeth came along and pushed Victoria aside and grabbed Vanessa's ear.
"You little brat. How dare you leave us." Elizabeth fumed.
Vanessa was making small voice due to pain said. "I gave you an opportunity to be together. I don't expect you to be grateful but this. I never expected this from you lizzy. I am disappointed. Totally disappointed."
This made Elizabeth twist her ear making Vanessa scream out in pain.
Victoria who was pushed aside threw herself a pity party for herself in her mind. 'Why does everyone handle me so roughly.' She thought.
But she managed to find comfort by the scence before.
'Her misery always amused me.' She said with a sweet smile.
After a few minutes Lizzy let Vanessa's ear go. It was visibly red.
Vanessa didn't think twice before massaging her ear slightly easing the pain.
Victoria chuckled at Vanessa glaring at Lizzy.
"When is your school starting." Victoria asked with a playful smirk making Vanessa's glare to divert towards her.
"In 5 days." She grumbled.
"Thats too early we need to work on your looks." Elizabeth said.
"What's wrong with my looks." Vanessa whined.
"Everything. Your going undercover as a nerd." Victoria said laughing and pointed towards the page she was reading on the document.
Vanessa screamed out loud and left the room and headed towards Max.
"She's gonna kill him in that pace." Lizzy pointed out.
"Don't worry she need answers. She won't kill him. Hopefully." Victoria added making lizzy raise an eyebrow.
Max was tied on the ground in an uncomfortable position.
He was laying on his side, hands tied to his back, restraining his movements. He if he wanted to move he can't without harming himself all the over.
Vanessa made a pitiful sound mockingly.
"This is how I felt when you kill that couple. Helpless." She said emotionlessly.
The tied up guy signed. No wonder she felt familiar. He killed her family in front of her.
"So you are her." He scoffed.
In his 5 years assassin life this was a mystery to him too.
"You remember me." She asked him in a monotone voice.
"Never forgot you to begin with." He bit back.
"Alright why can't we talk like adults. No restraints." He negotiated.
"You are in no position to negotiate with me." She said her upper lip twitching from time to time.
"Now who asked you to kill them." She asked.
"Your father." He said without hesitation.
"And who is he. Who the f**k is my father." She said angrily stomping on the ground near him to emphasize.
"My hand hurts from laying in this position." He said pitifully hoping to gain her sympathy.
He has seen her once she was a child he remembered her and her expressions vividly. 'She is the same naive child.' He thought.
"I'm sure Victoria untied your hands so you can eat." Vanessa said in a sadronic tone.
"Who are you I don't think I know you." Max said perplexed. He for a second was confused if it was the girl or someone else.
Vanessa scoffed but nonetheless said. "Remeber Melanie and Stewart. The one you assinated right in front of their adopted daughter."
"But she was different." He said hesitantly and scared.
"Well what do you know things happen. Now I won't ask you this again tell me who the f**k ordered an assassination." She said glaring at him.
Max was petrified and wanted to comply but he can't. He doesn't know who wanted to assassinate them.
And he gathered a few clues but he can't say that out loud. If that doesn't please her, she might kill him.
Eventhough she wanted to be belligerent and sadistic with the man on the ground she can't cause she knew he was just a pawn.
But she still wanted to make sure of that and wanted to instill fear in him.
She can say one thing for sure he likes his life and has a low tolerance of pain.
If he didn't then he could untie himself though not with ease.
She stepped out of the room for a few moments and entered again with an injection.
Max was watching her movements sharply.
"This is sulpric acid. I sure you studied about this in your science class. It's acidic level is quite high. It might cause burns if not handled cautiously." She explained with a sweet smile.
Max shrinked back in fear not afraid the wires will hurt him, just wanting to get away from the devil in front of him.
'How useless.' She thought scornfully and left making him sigh in relief.
"You didn't hurt him." Victoria raised her eyebrow she when saw Vanessa.
"No. He knows nothing. I'm not gonna waste my time on him." She said uninterestedly.
Lizzy and Victoria were not surprised.
"Anways we need to find you clothes for your first day in high school." Elizabeth said excitedly hoping to cheer Vanessa up.
Vanessa gave her a look and huffed and laid on the sofa.
"You can't escape your predicament dear. Off to the mall we go." Lizzy urged.
"Ohhh I can't wait to see you in those clothes give me five mins I will be done." Victoria said hurriedly and ran towards her room.
"Isn't she already dressed up." Vanessa asked.
"Let the girl change her clothes for a change." Lizzy said and giggled.
'Why is everyone so cheerful.' Vanessa whined.
