Veils of Deception
Chapter 1
It was a dark room where just a single beam of light was coming from a very high window situated in the room.
An unconscious person could be seen in the middle of that room tied on a chair and beaten badly. Blood was all over the place.
Just then the door to the room opened and a person with heavy footsteps entered the room with guards following behind him.
Unknown
it's him? *coldly*
Unknown
wake him up. *coldly*
The guard picked up a bucket filled with water from the corner of the room and splashed it on the unconscious person's face jolting that person awake gasping for air.
Unknown 2
*trembling voice* w-who ar-are you? Wh-why are y-you doi-doing this to m-me?
Unknown
*leaned down and grabbed the second person's jaw tightly pulling forward* still acting huh?? *smirk*
Unknown
*leaves the face with a jerk* I must say your acting's quite believable.
Unknown
but sadly... *leaned and looks straight in his eyes while tilting his head slightly to the left* you had to meet me.
Unknown 2
I-I'm n-not acting. *tears started rolling down his face* pl-please lea-leave me. I don't kn-know any-anything.
Unknown
*stands straight* I see.
Unknown
*turns around* Beat him until he accepts and if he dies... *tilts his head slightly back and smirk* that just makes our work easier.
after saying this he was about to leave when the person tied suddenly shouted.
Unknown 2
What the fu*k is wrong with your brain? Can't you understand that whoever you're looking for is not me?
The adrenaline really makes you do shit sometimes that you shouldn't.
But soon his voice died down when he saw the other person turning around and looking at him as if he was looking at a piece of trash. Not even worth a glance of him.
Unknown
Ozra Kane. You really did a good job in hiding.
Unknown 2
I'm not Ozra Kane. I'm
Adrian Romano/B
Adrian Romano.
Adrian Romano/B
If-if you don't believe me you can confirm it. I'm a scholarship stu- *cut off* *hissed in pain*
Unknown
*grabbed his jaw tight* you are saying I got the wrong person.
Adrian Romano/B
N-no- *muffled voice*
Adrian Romano/B
p-please lis-listen to me. I beg you. *tried to speak as clear as he could*
Unknown
.... speak. *leaves his face with a jerk*
Adrian Romano/B
I'm a scholarship student in the most prestigious university situated in the city center. You can check it out. Even the principal know about my situation since I was a little orphan.
Adrian Romano/B
He will tell you everything about me.
Adrian Romano/B
I'm not whoever who are looking for.
Unknown
... if I find out that you are lying then...
Adrian Romano/B
I'm not. *firmly*
Unknown
*amused* Impressive.
Unknown
*to guards* you know what to do.
Saying this the unknown person left from the room not before glancing at the tied person longer than needed.
Unknown
well going back to university once again wasn't that bad of an idea after all. *smirk to himself*
Vincent Valente/TBÁ
I can't believe it. Dad is really making me do it. *disbelief*
Vincent Valente/TBÁ
What are you laughing for, huh? *rolls eyes*
Lucian cavalli/Á
why so hyper? *wraps his hand around his shoulder* I'm here with you in this shit, ain't I?
Valen Volkov/disguise/TBÁ
*shrugs his hands off* You know it. I hate this place the most. I already graduated years ago and dad sent me back to this hell.
Vincent Valente/TBÁ
He could have sent someone else.
Lucian cavalli/Á
you graduated the last year only.
Lucian cavalli/Á
And you are the most eligible one for this mission that's why you are here.
Vincent Valente/TBÁ
Humph.
Lucian cavalli/Á
Cheep up man. I've got great news for you.
Vincent Valente/TBÁ
What is it?
Lucian cavalli/Á
Well the one we are looking for has disguised himself as a scholarship student in here.
Lucian cavalli/Á
And on top of that there's only one student who is a scholarship student.
Vincent Valente/TBÁ
Then doesn't that make Ozra an easy target to find out? Why would he stay?
Lucian cavalli/Á
There were more scholarship students but surviving in a place like this where every big shot's kid is in. Do you really think the scholars dropped out on their own?
Vincent Valente/TBÁ
Of course not. It's bound to happen considering those rich kids being poverty phobic.
Lucian cavalli/Á
But that one still survived till now. How?
Vincent Valente/TBÁ
Someone's helping him?
Lucian cavalli/Á
Exactly. No one knows that there's a scholarship student in there and since every students' information is highly guarded, it's even harder to find out.
Vincent Valente/TBÁ
So in the eyes of outside world, he's a scholar but in there a normal student.
Vincent Valente/TBÁ
*smirk* he really thought he did something great by staying. *shakes head in amusement* sometimes his stupidity amuses me a lot.
Lucian cavalli/Á
I know right. *laughs* so cheer up man. We're getting out of that hell before even entering.
Vincent Valente/TBÁ
Great.
Vincent Valente/TBÁ
I guess I ain't getting out of that hell any soon.
Chapter 2
Vincent was sitting in his office when someone knocked on the door.
Vincent Valente/TBÁ
come in. *coldly*
Lucian cavalli/Á
*came in with a file* heard you caught the wrong mouse.
Vincent Valente/TBÁ
you checked it?
Lucian cavalli/Á
yeah. Whatever he said was right.
Lucian cavalli/Á
Adrian Romano, comes from the sunshine orphan, a Beta. Studying in the Blackthorn university as a scholarship student.
Lucian cavalli/Á
I also got it double-checked and all the related information.
Vincent Valente/TBÁ
so he was saying the truth?
Vincent Valente/TBÁ
But why would the principal of a prestigious university help an orphan?
Lucian cavalli/Á
Well I heard that, that the kid saved his life, so you know. Something like repaying the debt or whatever.
Vincent Valente/TBÁ
*leaned back on his chair and took the file from Lucian and reading the content*
Vincent Valente/TBÁ
*smirk* looks like I've got something to pass my time with. it won't be that boring anymore.
Lucian cavalli/Á
Really? *disbelief* Leave this kid alone. He ain't got anyone to rely on either.
Vincent Valente/TBÁ
*looks up from the file* you are sad about him?
Lucian cavalli/Á
No. Just trying to be a good person.😌
Vincent Valente/TBÁ
But I ain't a good person.
Lucian cavalli/Á
whatever. Just don't go overboard, and we've got a mission to accomplish.
Vincent Valente/TBÁ
Great. Then get me a dorm in the university. Room no. 24.
Lucian cavalli/Á
You're really going hard on that kid. *shakes head* I'll get it done.
Vincent Valente/TBÁ
Good.😏 Get him released from the basement too.
Two people could be seen in front of a university gate.
Lucian cavalli/Á
Do we really have to go in?
Vincent Valente/TBÁ
Yeah. Now let's go.
Lucian cavalli/Á
suddenly it feels like the roles are reversed. you should be the one whining about not going in.
Vincent Valente/TBÁ
I've got something interesting. Why not find yourself one too?
Lucian cavalli/Á
No need. I'm good.
They both went to the principals' office first and got their routine and room no.
Vincent Valente/TBÁ
What's your room no.?
Lucian cavalli/Á
36. I'm gonna be one floor up than yours.
Vincent Valente/TBÁ
Yeah. Then I'm going.
Lucian cavalli/Á
why so excited?
Vincent Valente/TBÁ
You know it. *smirk*
Chapter 3
Vincent was standing in front of door with room no. 24. He knocked on the door twice and waited but nothing. He knocked again but still nothing.
He was about to knock again when the door suddenly opened and a figure could be seen behind that door. Adrian was all bandaged up because of the injuries.
Adrian quickly tried to close the door, but a hand came in between and pushed the door open with force and entered the room.
Valen Volkov/disguise/TBÁ
This is not how you treat your roommate.
Vincent looked around the room for a good minute then at Adrian who was standing just behind him with a lamp in his hand in a position ready to strike.
Valen Volkov/disguise/TBÁ
*amused* woah... you are so ready to kill me. *takes one step ahead*
Adrian Romano/B
Do-Don't come close or else...
Valen Volkov/disguise/TBÁ
Or else? *takes another step forward*
Adrian Romano/B
*takes a step back* I... I will strike. I'm not joking.
Valen Volkov/disguise/TBÁ
*smirk* sure. Do it. *takes another step forward*
Adrian took yet another step back, but he was sure that Vincent won't stop, so he gathered all his courage and struck with the lamp aimed at his head with all his force.
But in a blink His hand was held in the air with strong strength. First he looked at his hand then in front only to see the face of Vincent so close. his eyes widened in fear.
Adrian Romano/B
What are you doing here? I already told you I'm not the one you are looking for.
Vincent just kept looking at him then took the lamp from his hand throwing it on the ground with a thud sound making the boy flinch. He found it amusing as well because just how easy was it to scare him.
Vincent grabbed his jaw making him look straight at him. He leaned a little more and tilted his head a little to get a closer look of those eyes filled with fear because of him.
Adrian didn't dare breathe.
Valen Volkov/disguise/TBÁ
*leaves him then stands straight putting his hands in his pocket* well I'm not here to bully you again. But... *smirks*
