Deceiver (Ms. Venable x Reader)

2 years ago...

"Hey! Kid! Wake up!" someone shaking my body. I feel weak. I open my eyes slowly to see who is it. I feel strange. It was a woman, an unknown human. I realize it's not my room nor my house. I was in the automobile. I rub my eyes and sit. Seeing what's going on the outside. I can't see anything except the fog. It's confusing. I need an explanation. I look at the woman. She was staring at me, not having the intention to speak.

"What's going on? Where am I?" I ask but she won't answer me. She was just staring at me. It makes me feel nervous that she doesn't answer my question. Even the driver, she doesn't say anything. I was clueless about what happened right now. I have many questions to ask. I've got nothing but silence until they order me to wear a gas mask and suit. Giving me a minute to wear it before we leave the vehicle. We left the automobile. They guide me to walk by gripping my arm. Making sure I won't be lost by this mist. I follow them, walk farther to the building and notice something. There was an elevator. I think it was the entrance to this place. They guide me to come down over there, not letting my hand go off by their grip. After a minute, they examined my body if there's any symptoms or diseases I have. They let me take a bath before I could talk to them and the leader of this shelter.

After the protocol, I was in the doorway of this shelter. The woman told me lately, to wait for the Outpost III leader. That leader might help me to foresee what's going on here. Then...

I hear something. A tap. It was getting near until it stops. There's a woman. A tall, slim woman. Her dark red hair styled into a tall, sharp quiff. It was peerless. She dresses in an opulent Victorian-Esque dress and she's holding a cane that makes her look prosperous. She depicted the Head of the Group. Maybe she was the one. The one they talking about.

It was the Head. The Leader.

"Welcome to Outpost III. You're here because of luck you've been taken" she presents while staring at me. There's another woman who came on the back. The woman in the automobile.

"Follow her" she orders.

I follow the woman walk in downstairs while she was talking about this place and the rules of it. She guides me to my room but before that. She explained, how the outside end like that. Giving me the opportunity to live because of this place. She showed me every room to make it clear for me. Telling me what is The Purple and Gray means. Next, she shows me clothes. It was color gray. A servant uniform.

"You're one of The Gray, remember that" then she put it back to the closet. I nod. I was grateful that I will stay here. She's leaving but she stops when I say something.

"I don't even know your name" I speak. She turns back on me.

"Call me Ms. Venable. That's all" then she left.

That's how I met her, The ruler among us.

The one that I cannot disobey.

That's how I survived. It was a mystery for me, that they found me. I already packed my things and follow Ms. Mead to my new room. It was next to Ms. Venable's room. It was real. It wasn't an illusion but a fact that I was next to her room. After Ms. Mead guided me to my new room, I place my things in order then sit on the bed to take a sigh for what I've done this month. I feel exhausted by this action I gave lately.

I shouldn't let my words came out and let her listened to it which made me got into trouble. The consequences I have let my conscience comes out, tell me not to be refractory again when it comes to a serious situation.

I startled. Closed of giving me a heart attack when someone just knocks on my door. Gosh, I don't have a coffee but I'm getting anxious by every knock they do.
