138. A mask

Markus immediately checked the content, only to find a white masquerade mask inside the fallen box.

He looked back at Kizy, who was now drenched in cold sweat, fear evident in her shiny eyes.

"What happened?" He asked in a careful but gentle voice.

But Kizy was completely frozen, not answering him at all. And this scared Markus a lot.

He held Kizy by both her shoulders before shaking her.

"Answer me Kizy!" He said, shaking her all the time.

Kizy suddenly looked him in the eye, before saying.

"He… he knows.. he knows." She said in a trembling voice.

"Who?" Markus asked.

But Kizy was speaking gibberish, none of her words had any meaning.

"He knows… he will come… you.. you can't save me… I can't hide anymore!!" Kizy kept speaking.

Markus tried to patiently ask her calmly, but to no avail.

Finally he shook her hard.
