The appearance of one should not deem who one truly is. Sparkly eyes to a pretty smile, everything is false. A demon's true identity is always hidden behind a mask. But for the events that are about to unfold, identity is truly nowhere to be found. In this town, everything happens for a reason.

~ Behind A Mask ~

Season II, Karma

Framed

Yawn.

I woke up after what felt like literally minutes. The previous night's great adventures in the halls of the school were quite strenuous. I thought for a few seconds whether I would go to school or not. Instead I was taken aback by three faces glaring at me from the end of my bed. Their skin illuminated in the darkness, light peering through the curtains barely making their outlines glow.

"Rosalina, you won't believe what happened!" naked Samus shrieked. Bae-onetta gingerly leaned against my bookshelf, the sweet smell of the cherry lollipop in her mouth stinking up the room. Meanwhile, Spoon Hands stood like a frozen statue, a dead smile and two bright eyes looking up at me.

"How did you guys get into my house?!" I roared. "I thought I locked-"

"Forget it," Bae-onetta chirped. "The front door was open. Next time, you better make sure you lock up good before any casual pedophiles snatch you up."

I rolled my eyes and tried to get more words in. "But-"

"There has been a dead body found in the school!" naked Samus cried. "I can't believe it! Mr. Weegee is dead! I can't-"

"SHUT UP!" I yelled. With a big jump, I leaped to my feet and towered above them on the bed. "If you have come here to accuse me of something, you bitches can get out right now!"

"What?" Bae-onetta asked, puzzled. "Accuse you? We came here to alert you. Now that you've said that, there's clear reasons to suspect you. Why so chippy? Why was the front door open? Hmm..?"

"You three stooges are going to leave right now!" I continued. "You are my minions. My minions do not speak back to me like that! Bae-onetta, you are fired from the squad. Do I make myself clear? You whores."

She shrugged and strolled out, Spoon Hands following her out the door backwards, his eyes still locked on me. Once they vanished down the hall, naked Samus continued to squeal.

"You can't do this to us!"

"Oh yeah?" I teased. "Well I just did. Now you'll have no one to help you insert your tampon. I am disappointed in you, naked Samus. Very disappointed. You should be very ashamed of yourself. Maybe you could make it up to me by you killing yourself."

"My name is not naked Samus!" she sobbed. "Please.."

"Please, nothing. You will forever and ever be known as the idiotic slob who kept disappointing me, the girl who always ran around naked. You will forever be known as naked Samus until I die.. Which will be never. Just a few weeks ago, I bought an immortality elixir from some hobo at the back of Walmart for about fifty dollars. It made me puke my guts up, so I guess that means that it's working."

Tears streamed down her face, cheeks covered in blush, she choked out her final words before leaving. "I hate you."

How rude of her. After all I had done for her, she hated me? What was wrong with her? My phone buzzed to life, vibrating on my bedside desk. I swiped it up and read the new message across the screen.

I'm going to bring you down to Hell, and you're going to burn just like I did.

-Hyrule Princess

So she was going to argue with me and then anonymously send me a text message seconds later? No way was she getting away with that!

shut up or im going to have to go all Hitler on you, naked Samus. P.S: ur the jew.

Ding!

Things like that is why you are a terrible person. Remember how I said I'm going to make you talk? You can run, but you can't hide. Get ready, bitch. I'm coming for you.

-Hyrule Princess

Irritated, I was on the pathway, outside the school just ten minutes later. Police cars filled the street, cops going in and out the entrance every two seconds. Crowds formed around the barriers, but not even those could stop me. I shimmied through the knee-high bars and out into the blank space. I casually strolled up into the doorway but I was blocked by a very familiar face.

"Where are you going?" Penguin asked.

"Piss off," I snapped. "I'm going to destroy a bitch's locker." I whipped out the hammer from behind my back and waved it around in his face. "You see? I'm going to teach that naked Samus moron a lesson. Karma will get her!"

"Rosalina, get back behind the bars now or I will have no other option but to arrest you!" he urged.

"Ugh," I muttered. "Fine. Tell me what to do again and I'll bash your brains out." I managed to run away before he caught up to me. I guess I ticked him off a little bit... School was back in business just days later. Mr. Mario was now promoted by Judge Wario to become principal of the place. Of course, I was annoyed. He was annoyed by me too. So much that I heard my name ringing over the intercom during History. I marched my way out of class and to his office where he sat at his desk. Smug grin, cap pulled down over his eyes.

"Rosalina."

"Mario."

"Please take a seat," he purred, waving his hand at the empty chair in front of him. I sat down and glared at him. "So.. what do you want?"

"I brought you here today to have a chat with you," he said, biting the tip of his pen. "I love having long chats with my students."

I tutted and reached for my handbag on the ground. "I know you want sex, but you're not getting any, pedo."

"No!" he exclaimed. "Please, please sit, Rosalina! I have something far more important to get from you."

"What is it?"

"Well.." he muttered. "I hate you. You're a rude, obnoxious, spoiled little bitch."

I nodded in agreement.

"You are a despicable, nasty bully. Everyone feels threatened by you. Even the cops. You tear people down, you seem to hate everyone, and you have a perfect motive for... murder."

"What?!" I yelled at the top of my voice. "You have the audacity to accuse me of killing another human?! The only thing that I kill is others' self confidence, and that is it!"

He slammed his hand on the table, his greasy mustache twitching. "Listen to me, you little bitch. I haven't even told you what my request for you was."

"What?!" I roared. "Just tell me already."

Carefully, he spun his grey laptop around on his desk and hit the space bar. Across the screen, a large video began to play. The tape was slightly fuzzy, but I managed to make out the location. Some camera footage from a hallway in the school. Along went Mr. Weegee, slowly walking down the hall, reading from some paper in his hand. The time in the bottom right corner read nine in the evening.

The tape fast-forwarded. About an hour later, I saw myself with the bloodied high-heel in my hand sprinting back down the hall and off-screen. Mr. Mario slammed the laptop shut and glared at me with his shiny blue eyes.

"Want to know my request? Don't fight back against the cuffs.."

"What?!" I managed to scream out one more time before the thumping of the footsteps blared in my ears. The door shot open behind me and the fat bird marched in. Penguin yanked me up to my feet and clipped the metal handcuffs onto me. I tried scratching against his face, screaming my head off, struggling in his grasp. No success. Mr. Mario gave me a small wave as he dragged me out the door.

"I didn't kill Mr. Weegee!" I shrieked. "I swear! You are all buffoons!"

"You're going down town!" puffed Penguin, letting out a loud laugh. My feet dragged against the floor as I was pulled out the main entrance and tossed like a doll in the back of the police van. I tried to take in every last bit of fresh air from the outside world, and when the doors slammed shut and I was sealed into darkness, I knew I was a goner.

Author's Note:

Hello everyone! A bit of a shorter chapter today. Hopefully you don't mind! Obviously, let's get to the big news: ROSALINA HAS BEEN ARRESTED FOR THE MURDER OF MR. WEEGEE! OMGGG!

Did you see that coming? Don't worry, more will be explained and cleared up in the next chapter. What do you think is going to happen next?! We still have four more chapters to go until Season II ends and I hope you enjoy the stuff I've got coming. xD

What are your thoughts on Rosalina? Like her? Hate her? Love/hate? :P

What do you think is going to happen in Chapter Four?! Rosalina is obviously heading to prison with the murderer and texter still at large! Also, who do you think is sending the texts? Who murdered Hyrule Princess? Who murdered Mr. Weegee? Think all three are different people? All the same? Let me know your predictions! :D When you get that final chapter, Chapter Seven, ALL will be revealed and make perfect sense. My thoughts could be slightly biased because I know the answers, but I do think the person/people behind the murders and the texts is/are pretty obvious. :)

Stay tuned for the next chapter!
