"Who are you?" The man shakes with trepidation; the mask he was wearing previously to conceal his identity now lays on the cold concrete floor I was once laying on, close to death, until I was saved.
"Your worst nightmare."
***
Aria, she's not your...
"Wait a fucking minute. So before the other night with Nathan and Kota, you've never had a sleepover?! The fuck?!" I giggle at his exclamation. We are all sitting on the floor in the middle of the room where I saw North and Silas again. The couch is pushed as close to the wall as possible and the table moved to be near the window. The TV plays music quietly in the background as we talk. Victor had called downstairs a few moments ago for someone to bring food up.
"I didn't have friends to have do that sort of thing with." I say nonchalantly, shrugging my shoulders. Silas places a hand on his chest, faking being hurt by my words. I roll my eyes and nudge him lightly, "You know what I mean." He chuckles and nods, pulling me down into his arms for a hug. I squeal lightly making his booming laughter become louder. Everyone else joins in and I just smile at everyone. I lean my head back into his chest, closing my eyes with a smile still on my face.
"So what did you three do the other night with her?" Luke asks, his voice flooded with curiosity. I blush lightly at the memories, how Nathan and Kota had been so sweet all night to me.
"We watched zombie movies, Peanut cooked for us, she shown her a trick that she does with her mouth." Nathan says, making me start coughing violently at his last remark. The way he said it is as if he were trying to hint something happened between us three. I sit up and look at the red headed boy with shock. He bursts out laughing, laying back as the door opens. No one seems to realize but I look up and taken aback by the woman who stands there.
Her brown hair is tied back neatly into a formal bun, not a hair out of place. She wears a white short sleeved shirt, tucked into a black pleated knee length skirt. Her grey eyes fall on me and I see emotions I really hate seeing aimed at me.
'Jealousy, hatred.'
I can't move my eyes away though. Her hands clench around the tray in her hands, making her knuckles turn white. I swallow the anxiety building up in my throat and stand, making my way over to her. She seems to be shocked by this move but I keep my mask in place. I place my hands on the tray and smile at her.
"I'll take it thanks." Her hands leave and she just watches me. Even as I turn away, I feel her eyes burning into the back of my head as I place the tray down. Unable to take it anymore, I turn around, staring her down. Our eyes never waver from each other and I see her fists clenching at her sides as she looks at me. The hatred over takes the jealousy and I can't help but to stand there and stare.
"You can leave now Muriel." Victor says, all the boys now watching us. Her eyes come out of their hatred induced trance, caused by what I don't know. She, Muriel, looks over at Victor, giving him a mustered smile and then she turns back to me.
"May I talk to you Miss?" She says, her emotions and mental state on the edge of breaking. I don't see the harm in talking with the maid and nod. I walk towards her as she walks out the door, me following behind. Before leaving, I look at the boys, smiling reassuringly at them all.
I close the door behind me and receive a slap on my cheek. I step back slightly, smacking into the door behind me. My eyes look at this maid, the anger evident now. Muriel's fists clench and unclench as she looks at me, the hatred in her eyes again, her body tense all over.
"Why did you-"
"You're just another whore that wants to use Master Victor." She says simply, as if it was obvious. I look at her dumbfounded and then the hatred and jealousy made sense.
'She likes Victor...'
I find my hands clench at my sides and I push myself off of the door. I push her away from me slightly, the anger now radiating off of me.
"Victor is his own person. I am not using him for his money, I couldn't care less about it. He's my friend." I growl out, my body tensing, ready to fight if I need to. Normally, I would use my words to get out of a situation like this but I felt the need to be like this. Something about this girl didn't sit with me right.
"Well, don't get any ideas about being with him because he will be mine." The emphasis on the 'will' made my blood boil. First with the assistant, now this maid. I am being protective, jealous even, but unsure why.
'Is it because we almost kissed?'
But the assistant was before that. Emotions are confusing. I shake my head and come out of my mind before her fist connected with my face. I grab it quickly and twist her arm behind her back. I hold her there while she shouts out in pain. I hear the door open behind me, the burning sensation of being watched, but I don't let go.
"You need to control yourself." I growl low to her, releasing my hold on her. Muriel backs away from me, shock and hate in her eyes. She grunts and walks down the corridor towards where Victor, Gabriel and I came up from. I release the breath I didn't realize I was holding and rub my forehead.
"Aria, are you okay?" Victor asks, his hand landing on my shoulder. I look at him and nod, turning towards where the others are and walking back into the room. I walk past them, stuck in my head again.
'Why did she think I was using Victor? Is she obsessed? Could she be a yandere? Wait, they aren't real... Right?'

Muriel's POV
"THAT BITCH! SHE'S TRYING TO STEAL VICTOR AWAY FROM ME!" I stand in the kitchen, cleaning the work surfaces. The veins in my hand pulse as I think about that blonde girl. I scream to myself in frustration and slam my fists down on the surface.
"Calm down. You can't draw attention." A robotic voice says from behind. I spin around and see a man dressed in all black. Everything seems to be covered in black clothing and the only thing visible are his eyes. They are a blood red, staring and intimidating.
"Who are you? What do you want?" I ask, the anger still there from the encounter with the girl upstairs. He chuckles lowly at me as he crosses the room towards me.
"You're angry at the new addition yes?" I look at him shocked. He knew about the girl, meaning he's got close. I nod stiffly, "Well, she is why I am here. I want her to myself. Gone. Then this Victor is yours."
'Mine?'
I look at the man, unable to see if he is telling the truth.
'But for Victor I will do anything, and I mean anything.'
"You have a deal, Mister...?"
"Call me Blackout."
