The box on the foldable trolley was still. It is already hard moving the trolley, I don't know what I would have done if it was rolling or tumbling around. As I walked ahead in the streets wheeling a large box, I had this awful feeling that I was being watched. That my covers blown. That this red wig and contact lenses weren't fooling anyone. I thought since the job was done, It would be just taking it back to the factory. But...it was all worth it. Took 3 days but it was definitely worth it.

A taxi stops by next to me. The window goes down revealing the face of a pale man.

" Need some help, kid. Hop in, I'll drop you off if you want " he says kindly.

I think for a sec. I already look suspicious. Going by foot it'll take more time and I don't want that. Taking the taxi would be ok if I'm careful with the box.

" Yes, Thank you " I say. He gets out of the car and picks up the box with both hands.

" woah, kinda heavy. Whats in it ? " he asks as he fits it along with the trolley inside the backseat of the car.

"A gift for my sister. Its her favourite toy. " I say as I sit in the car. Well, its partially true.

He comes around the car and sits back in the drivers seat. " so, where to ? " he asks as he starts the car.

" Riverdale, street 3 " I say. He thinks for a second and then nods in response.

Its been three days. I knew I had to hurry before the police gets to me. That morning when I woke up on the dusty floor surrounded by warm sunlight, the reality of the situation hit me perfectly. Crying around may make me feel abit better but I needed to do something before Lydia strikes again. When I think about it, I don't know anything specific about Lydia. I don't know the person behind the mask. But whoever it is, needs to die.

My goal was to get Jessica. And since I'm already deemed a murderer, Kidnapping will just need to be added to the list I suppose.

I wanted some things first. My glasses were crooked and my clothes were dirty. Plus I had no money. If I'm gonna do anything, I needed to get a disguise. Fortunately, I had this red wig I once wore on a school play in middle school. Also contact lenses along with extra pair of glasses since getting bullied alot made me wanted to stock up in case the broke all the time. UNfortunately, they were at home and I needed to get home first without being caught.

While staring out the window I saw from afar some laundry hanging outside a house. No one was around at the time.

Lucky me.

After ' borrowing ' some dress along with a head scarf, I try to avoid eye contact with the people around me as I make my way back to my house.

The house felt lonely. Like it wanted people to dwell inside it. The yellow police tape was all around it. While entering it through the window, I headed straight to my wardrobe. After getting everything I needed and packing them up in a bag I left. But...not before going to my mom's room one last time. There was a white outline where her body was last night. It all felt so surreal. The flashbacks came of me standing infront of her body.

At the factory, I put on the disguise. I always talked about how people wear masks as a disguise to hide their true self. Now I just look like a hypocrite doing it literally.

Enter, Ashley brown.

From then on I kept following Jessica around. I also bought afew more wigs and props incase I'm caught.

I found out alot about Jessica. She had just the kind of thing I was looking for.

Dirty secrets. Which could not only put her but also her entire family in trouble.

First of all, she has alot of affairs outside school. Drugs, alcohol, clubs, She does things that a high schooler shouldn't. Not only that but once while outside her home, her dad was seen with another woman. Her mom, who is an author, is an alcoholic. I guess this is why Jessica doesn't stay home alot.

What a pathetic family...

I also did wonder if Jessica and her friends told the police about the whole paying to bully. If they did the police would investigate Lydia too.

Going to her dads work place and getting information about Lydia's dad didn't help. They said they don't give out any classified information to just anyone and that their company isn't partners with anyone named Jackson.

Damn witch even lied about her dad.

So when I had enough material, I messaged her anonymously today to come meet me at a specific location without telling anyone or all of the family secrets are out. I had already hidden a box, body bag and a trolley yesterday in an alleyway on that street.
As I waited for her there a taxi pulled up across the street from where I was and dropped her off. She seemed really nervous and frustrated. That look was pure bliss for me who had always seen her with nasty expressions.

Disguised as Ashley, I came out of the alleyway. She looks at me then down on her phone and types something.

' Is that you ? ' she messages.

' yes. Come here ' I text back.

The chloroform soaked cloth clenched in my hand. She types something on her phone as she crosses the road.

Then something...unexpected happens.

A speeding car hits her and Sends her flying to a distance.

I stared in shook as the man gets out of the car, curses for a few minutes, gets back in and the drives away.

No one is on the street right now. I had chosen this location specifically because its mostly empty. For a second I feared that another car may come but when it didn't I ran over to Jessica. Surprisingly it doesn't look that bad. Her injuries don't look that serious. Shes still bleeding though.

Her eyes flutter open and she looks at me.

" Help me " she says with a crack in her voice.

If it wasn't for my disappointment I'd be laughing right now.

Shes asking the devil for help

I lift up her arms and drag her into the alleyway. Once in there, I drop her. As she tries to get up, I press the chloroform cloth on her mouth and nose. Having already lost all the energy she dosn't put up much of a fight and falls unconscious.

This is more work then I thought. I take out my water bottle and pour the water over her injuries. Then drying them off with tissues, I wrap the emergency bandage I have in the bag with me at all times on where its most needed.

After I'm done, I step back and observe. This isn't what I thought I'd be doing. But hey! Its all for what I'm about to do later on.

" I'm going to pay you back everything you gave me. With interest " I say to her as I laugh. Just imagining her reaction is already thrilling. I clean my hands and take a deep breath.

I look up at the sky. The moon is crescent. The sky, Its pink and orange. Dawn...

Putting her in the body bag, I zip it up. Then I place her inside the box. Using a tape, I seal it at the opening.

" kid!! " The mans voice brings me back to reality.

" sorry, what was that ? " I ask flustered.

" I asked wheres your house " he says with a confused look.

I look outside the window. We're already in Riverdale.

" its ok, I can take it from here " I say. Before giving him a chance to protest against it, I pay him and get off the car.

He gets out too and takes out the trolley and box.

After he's gone I make my way around the row of houses to avoid attention. Once I'm out of sight, I carefully make my way back to the factory.
