"It's you guys? where is the other guy?"

Aletta and Jason had just walked past the barricade tape when they heard a voice.

Looking over, they noticed Jesse the Forensic CSI waving towards them. She was surrounded by two of her assistants.

"What happened here?" even Aletta was forced to wriggle her nose uncomfortably when she saw the gory sight before her. As for Jason, he could no longer hold back, puking heavily.

"Here" Jesse who was putting on a clinical nose mask tossed two towards Jason and Aletta, who quickly put them on

The disgusting smell of blood in the atmosphere was sickening to the stomach.

"The PD received a distress call from this Cinema. However when they arrived, they were met with this sight.." Jesse used one of her apparatus to pick up a mashed up piece of bloody flesh.. one of the many that were sprawled carelessly within the large pool of blood in the Cinema.

"It's just like the Victims at the Mourge.. the bizarre explosion?" Aletta knitted her brows.

"Indeed. However this is on a much larger scale.. about a hundred people died here" Jesse exhaled sharply.

"That's horrible. You are still yet to discover what causes these strange explosions?"

"I think we might have a lead.." Jesse hesitated a bit before finally confessing.

"There is a little boy who claims he knows what was responsible for this.. however his story is bizzare as well. The Sheriff thinks he's suffering from post traumatic stress. The poor kid lost his mother today, so I really don't blame him "

"Oh?" Aletta's interest was stroked when she heard this..

A bizzare story? that worked just fine for her!

"Where can I find this little boy then? we like to be completely thorough"

"What do you think? Dracula rose from the cinema screen and slaughtered all who were present? why do I find that hard to believe even with all what I've seen?" Jason pursed his lips disbelievingly as he and Aletta exited the cinema building.

"That's because it's not true.. if Dracula really ripped out their throats, how come their corpses looked like they exploded?" Aletta shook her head as she disposed the clinical mask she was wearing.

Jason followed suite as well.

"So what do you think really happened?"

"Fear manipulation "

"Apart from telekinetic abilities, Malevolents can use their ecto to achieve a myraid number of feats, depending on their level of control and expertise. To use their ecto to influence the mind of their victims, trapping them in an illusionary world where their greatest fears are manifested.. only a Level 10 Malevolent and above can achieve that level of control"

"But you made it clear that there was no ectoplasmic reading around the vicinity"

"Indeed.." Aletta nodded.

"However this kind of feat isn't exclusive only to Malevolents. There is another kind of being who can achieve this.. Demons!"

Jason balled his fist tightly.

"Is it the one responsible for my father's death?" he asked, in between clenched jaws.

"I have no idea. However now that we have a clear clue what we are hunting is, we need to confirm our hypothesis.. According to the police reports and the mission info, the strings of killing began back at Jonaz School for Girls right?"

Aletta gave Jason a naughty look.

"How do you feel about cross dressing eh?"

"Not ever going to happen!" the teenager hurriedly rejected.

"Dumping this camera on me is one thing.. but me playing dress up? never going to happen!!'

.

.

"I hate you!" Jason gritted his teeth as he and Aletta walked towards the entrance gate of Jonaz School For Girls. Currently the both of them were clad in black blazers and skirts, with Jason sporting a make up ridden face and an artificial brunette wig that covered the left part of his face.

This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.

"You look cute though" Aletta giggled teasingly as they arrived at the gate, only to be stopped by the security man who happened to be on duty.

"We are the Feminist Activist Counselors. Our head office already booked an appointment with the School Dean" Aletta stepped forward as she flashed the other party a fake card.

Giving her a look, the eyes of the Security Personnel fell on Jason.. Although he tried concealing it, Jason saw his lips twitch.

"Your partner is.. beautiful?"

"Yeah. I know. She gets that a lot " Aletta grinned as she gave Jason an amused look.

After confirming with the school Dean, the both of them were led into the school building. The whole environment was currently bustling with high school girls either carrying trays of lunch to their tables, or walking around in groups as they gossiped amongst themselves. Once in a while, Jason would receive strange looks from them. It couldn't be helped since his current appearance was quite.. peculiar.

"Thank you for coming. Dean Melissa appreciates your efforts" they were soon approached by a petite female teacher, who seemed to have been waiting for their arrival.

"So, where is the girl?" Aletta didn't mince words and straight away got down to business.

"Follow me please" the teacher lead the duo down a winding hallway littered with more high school girs making their way towards the cafeteria.

After a while, they arrived at an empty classroom. Just judging from the atmosphere, Jason felt a weird kind of familiarity.

"I take it that this must be a frequently used detention center?" he didn't forget to force his voice to sound feminine.

So embarrassing!

"Indeed.." the teacher nodded before pointing towards a figure who was the only soul in the empty class. The other party had their head buried underneath the desk, making their appearance unclear.

"She's the one. Please you have to talk to her. The School Dean fears that she might be thinking of committing suicide" the teacher told them, her face wrecked with worry.

"We will do our best"

The Teacher nodded before leaving. Once she was gone, Jason hurriedly slammed the door shut, tossing the wig away like it was some kind of hot potato.

"Huh?" the disturbance caused the other party to raise their previously buried head.

"Aletta?" surprisingly, the other party seemed to recognize Aletta.

"Daisy?" although her face was filled with eye bags and swollen lips, Aletta still recognized her.

"You guys know each other?" Jason instantly felt like the third wheel.

"Her name is Daisy. Her mother was a retired Hunter and a Wiccan.. a powerful one at that" Aletta replied.

"Who is that?" the girl named Daisy gave Jason a strange look.

Although he had abandoned his wig, his feminine code of attire and the makeup made him appear more like a low budget clown.

"His name is Jason.. he's a Mystique Hunter like me"

Jason smiled inwardly when he heard the last part in Aletta's statement.

"Oh.. although I figured one of you would come, I never thought you would be the one" Daisy seemed to have recalled something as she quickly wiped off the tears in her eyes.

"Stephen is running an errand.." Aletta gave her an ambiguous smile, causing a red embarrassed blush to appear on Daisy's cheeks.

"One of us?" Jason's brows raised as he caught the implied meaning in Daisy's statement.

"She isn't a Mystique Hunter?" he gave Aletta a look.
