Fleur, that is my name. I recently transferred to a new town and new school. I am on a mission to find some answers, what are those answers you say, I will leave you to answer that question.
I was walking down the hallways when I heard something that I shouldn’t at a school, a scream of pure pain and misery. I rushed towards the direction of the scream to see a girl begging for forgiveness on the ground as another girl grabbed her by her hair
“Please! Please! This mistake will never be repeated again! I beg of you!" "HOW DARE YOU BEG FOR FORGIVENESS AFTER DOING SUCH THING!" the girl raised a hand, more than probably to hit the poor girl.
Whispers broke in the crowd. "Oh my god! Did that girl just stop her grace?!" "I think she has lost it!" "She better be new to the school..."
"Huh? Who might you be to stop me?" "And who might you be to do such a thing?" I slowly let her hand down. "You don’t know me!?" She screamed, is she really that great? I mean I have never seen her face or heard her name
"Should I know you?" "Hmp! What an idiot! You must be new here" she questioned me with a slight smirk at the end of her tone. "So what if I am?" "Heh! Call me 'your grace' and look upon me!"
Yeah, yeah, whatever. Suddenly some person from the crowd pulled me in. I couldn’t even say a word, everything went by so quickly!

...In an empty classroom...
...----------------...
"You must be?" A girl questioned me. "I am Fleur. And you?" "I am Alster, we all are like a team" I looked at everyone else present in the room, besides us, there were about one boy and two girls, their team consists of four people in total.
"So? Why did you bring me here?" "We want you to join us" is a straight forward answer, sweet! "But why?" "You saw that girl bullying other people earlier right?" "Yes" looks like I got some information at last "she is Ella, the daughter of a very rich man, even the principal can’t do anything about her"
"I see, and let me guess, you all want to give her a piece of mind?" "Yes, and we also want to know about three things-" "life, death and dreams" I said cutting her off "looks like we all share a similar perspective" her face lit up and so did everyone else’s "we do"
"Let’s Introduce everyone!" She pointed towards a shy and timid looking girl "that is Annetta, she is in charge of finding out about people, in short she is the information collector" she looked like an introverted girl with light brown hair and green eyes. She was wearing a pure white dress
Then she pointed to the other girl,"She is Azure, she cleans up all the messes made by the other members" the girl was wearing a black hoodie and black leggings. She looked like another introverted soul with sky blue eyes and black hair.
She pointed to a guy "He is William, he is incharge of keeping all the data in order and safe" he was wearing a black hoodie and black jeans. He looked like an ambivert or omnivert with light brown eyes and black hair with a small portion of his front hair dyed bright red.
"And that is all of us" she looked at me "so? Wanna join?" I looked into her eyes and took the hand which she extended towards me "of course, I would love to"
The very next day, we all were called to the principals office. The principal looked rather uncomfortable. He seemed to be hiding something, something that is swallowing him whole...
"Anything wrong? Principal?" Alster asked him concerned. "Alster, Azure, William, Annetta, Fleur! You all are here!" The principal finally looked at us a bit joyfully.
He finally sat down and said "The thing is, we were digging up ground in the backyard to plant a few trees and then… we found a dead body…" the room fell silent…
All though a dead body is not a children’s game, the others didn’t look that scared at all! And I kept up with my poker face so no one looked scared on the outside except for our principal.

...In an empty classroom ...
...****************...
We all went to an empty classroom to discuss our plans for this 'small' mission. I know, I know, we shouldn’t do this but I am not as dumb to let a golden chance to know the answers for my questions just slip away like this while I keep watch!
"So? Now what?" I turned to Alster as so far, she looked like the leader. "Fleur" she said looking at me "Are you good at spying?" I chuckled, so naive "we’ll both my parents are spies working for the government. What do you expect?" "I knew it! You looked like someone who is good at such things. Guess my hunch was correct"
"It sure was, and what about the plan for this mission/commission?" I questioned "It’s not very simple, first, find out who’s body that is. Azure and Annetta will take care of that. Once they are done, William you take the data and find out their relation with our school. And after that, me and Fleur will take care of the rest"
A lengthy process, but let’s just hope that it’s worth it. The principal didn’t tell us what to do with the body, all we know is we can’t let anyone else get the slightest hint of this...
...****************...
...At my house ...
...****************...
"I am back" my voice echoed throughout my house. Something wasn’t right! "Annie! Anna! Where are you both?!" There was no reply at all…
Annie and Anna were twins who are working in our house. They both may look young but they still work of their own will. These two are some how related to the past owners of this house and refuse to stop working here. Even when offered to be adopted they always refused…
I closed the door, threw my bag on the sofa and started looking frantically around the house. They were no where to be seen… "Annie! Anna! Enough games! Come out!"
The silence spread all over the house, not even the sound of a fly… where could have these two gone? They never left the house… waiting and waiting, evening darkness slowly took over the sky.
I filed a complaint about them, only a few hours till the critical hours are over… Annie…Anna…please be safe…
This is the picture of Annie and Anna that I gave to the police for investigation. According to them, they have not seen such children anywhere and have given up on the case.
A few days after this incident, Annie and Anna returned back like nothing happened at all, no matter how many questions I ask about them disappearing, they always say that they don’t know what I am talking about. Strange, right?
But what’s even strange is the fact that both Azure and Annetta can’t find any information about the body. They did find out who the person was, but can’t find any further information about them.
We showed their pictures to people and asked around but no one seemed to recognise them at all. I don’t know what we are doing wrong.
But fun fact, I am in the classroom, thinking all of this mess while my teacher is distributing our exam papers. All of our group is in the same class if you didn’t know.
"Annetta! 98%!, Azure! 97%!" Pretty decent marks for information collectors. "William! 85%!" Good to see that we also have an average student among us "Alster! 32%!" And we have a failure too! Don’t know how she is still alive! I wonder why her parents didn’t kill her yet...
"Fleur!" All eyes turned towards me as I stood up to take my paper. I already know that I topped the class so give my paper, will you old hag? "100%…" she was still not willing to give me my paper, so I snatched it right of her hands!
"This is not possible! You surely cheated!" The teacher snatched my paper back. How dare this witch!? Just how long does she think that my temper will last!?
"And what makes you think that I have cheated?" "Everything about you makes me think that yo-" And before she could finish the sentence...
"Enough!" The principal walked in. Oh boy! This teacher is in great trouble\~ I mean he kind of saved her because if this witch would have said one more word, she would be paying a visit to my parents! (Her parents are dead)
...****************...
...Back at her house, after school ...
...****************...
"You are back!" Annie exciting came towards me. "Where is Anna?" I asked "coming!" Anna replied. I don’t know what I would do if I come back to my house one day knowing that these two won’t be there to greet me...
Negative thoughts aside, I have things to deal with. I went to my room, picked up my gun and stuff I will need for a mission and went to the door.
"Where are you going?" Annie asked, "A small mission" I replied, to which Anna said "you haven’t gone to a mission in so long" true though, guess I am getting lazy these days…
I just gave them a assuring smile and went out, unsure whether I would even be in a position to say a word…
...----------------...
"The great poison prodigy…" Annie murmured under her breath so Fleur wouldn’t hear it. "She is back, the daughter of two great minds, is back" Anna said smiling at her sister as she smiled back
