Play the song above✊

A man wearing all black, and has a mask on his face. Nothing to be terrified of right? I mean I could just scream help, we are in a crowded place after all.

But I couldn't do that, it's my dad's life on the line now, he deserves to live a happy life.

Its my mess, not his.

"Here goes nothing," I said muttering to myself as I opened the doors of the cafe.

I approached the man and he motioned for me to enter the coffee shop. I obediently did what he said and we sat down in an empty table. He dismissed the waiter that was going to get us our orders and we were left alone once again.

I started biting my nails, an old habit form mine I inherited from my mum.

"Octavia right?" The masked man said in a husky voice, probably trying to hide his real voice. I mean if he knows I am investigating my mothers case, then he most probably knows I know everything about criminals.

"Why am I supposed to answer?" I said in a snarky tone.

My big mouth is gonna be the death of me sometimes.

"I already know its you,but we cant start a conversation being so blunt and getting straight to the point right?" He said smirking at me.

"Actually, because it seems you have been stalking me and you know very well, I like getting straight to the point,no formalities,so c'mon continue" I said once again smirking,knowing I have proven him wrong.

The smile has disappeared from his face and was replaced with a  frown. "Don't play with me girl, I can kill you if I want but you know, orders are orders." He said shrugging his shoulders.

"Lets get straight to the point,as we discussed before,why did you want to meet with me here?" I said curiosity killing me.

"You surely are one curious girl,and smart too." He said smiling.

If I could just wipe that smile form his face...

"Alright,I'll show you what we wanted to show, so take it as a warning. " He said as he placed his bag on the table.

He then opened his bag and took out some folders and placed them on the desk He then took out his glasses and guess what colour they were, yes black.

He flipped through some pages and hummed in approval as he reached the right page, then took out 5 pictures and places them in front of me.

"Do any of these look familiar." He said smirking,knowing very well he has struck a nerve.

I stood up and placed both my hands on the table and tried to look as fierce and possible and told him "This is bullshit! Who are you,and why are you trying to ruin my life!" I said practically screaming very single word.

As if on queue everyone in the cafe gave us some glares for ruining their peaceful time.

"Calm down, they are just pictures, after all she is dead, I thought you would like to see some pictures before she died." he said smiling so sadistically.

"It was you, wasn't it." I said half yelling each word.

Those pictures, they were taken on the day of the accident, the day my mum died, that means he is associated with my mum's death.

"Not me, but some people just hated your mother and wanted  a tad bit of revenge, but it went to extreme, not that we regret it though." He said once again smirking.

"Why, why? My mum was loved by everyone no one disliked her." I said as my eyes started getting teary.

"Aww starting to cry already," He said mocking me.

"No I am not." My voice turned out squeaky as I wiped my tears with my sleeve.

"You see, your mum was hated by one person. She broke that person in two and she never even cared, so they could take care of her and kill her." He said nonchalantly like it was no big deal whatsoever.

"I think you should be admitted to a mental hospital, just saying, I mean you don't kill people for revenge, and also, why are you showing me this after 6 years of leaving me in the dark? " I said.

"Like you said, I think we left you in the dark for so long, it's time we play a little scavenger hunt and you find out who killed her." He said.

"Scavenger hunt seriously?" I said looking at him exasperated.

I swear to God, this gang or whatever they call it, is run by two years olds.

"Yes a scavenger hunt. Isn't this a trend for teenagers nowadays?" He said looking at me for an answer.

"Yes it is." I said while gritting my teeth.

"Voila! Perfect! that means you will follow us on this nice and long scavenger hunt, and follow whatever we say word by word, unless you will be dead just like your mother." He said smirking in my face.

My jaw stood hanging open probably attracting flies,I bet I look very unattractive right now.

"Don't be to shocked, you are a smart girl, and I think you must have suspected something like this form reading all those crime books." He said.

Bingo, I knew they were stalking me.

"So I will keep doing what you say,and my life will be spared?" I asked.

"Yup" he said while popping the "p"

"And if I don't do what you say I will end up like my mum?"

"Bingo!"

I internally groaned at the position I am in, I mean I probably have no choice, unless I want to die. I mean, a part of me wants me to so I can finally be with my mum,and finally see her after all those years, but I will leave my dad all alone, and my dad might be harmed in the process.

I have no other choice but to agree to this stupid scavenger hunt.

"I agree." I said while sighing.

"Great! enjoy the rest of your day, or not,depends if you want to sulk in your room "He said smirking at me, while I growled in response.

"Ah I am so scared." he said acting like a two year old,mocking that he is scared.

"Fuck off!" I said as I clutched my hands together tightly having the urge to punch him in the face and wipe that smirk form his face.

He left with no word and collected his belongings and left through the door,but one movement caught my attention.

A figure wearing a black hoodie lurking around the cafe.When you get to think of it, I saw that figure while I was talking with Mister Masked guy.

Is their someone stalking me?

I quickly grabbed my phone and rushed out of the cafe wanting to catch up with the hoodie guy.

He realised I was running after him/her, so he quickly went inside a cab and the can rushed off on the street indicating that I lost them.

But I didn't.

I remember that panicked look he had on his face,and the blonde hair that I became way to familiar with and with the gorgeous sea green eyes.

One thought hit my head.

I know him.

And when  realisation struck I kept repeating the same sentence in my head,wanting to know the answer to it.

Why would you be stalking me Aiden ?
