The Boy In The Mask

1: The beginning

"Mom?", i waited for a response.

"Mom?!",i repeat. Still no answer. I looked at her trying to get her attention.

"Mom? Why do i have to wear this mask?" I questioned, pulling on mothers dress. I watch as tears dripped from her chin as she clenched her jaw while she was turned away from me. Mother slowly went to speak as she part her lips but words didn't come out.

I asked once again. She took hold of my hand lowering her head. "Because" she paused biting her lip as more tears came down her cheeks.

"Your a monster."

I froze as my hand slowly slipped out my mother's hand. How could i be a monster?

"Mom,how am i a monster?", I glued my eyes down to the ground as i was crying a bit though my mask. I didn't want to be a monster. I ain't a monster.

She never answered. In response she grabbed my hands continuing to walk. I didn't know where she was taking me. She said someone wanted to meet me.

"Mom. Who am i meeting?", again no response. I began to cry as i clinched my jaw crying though my mask.

I had a bad feeling. One saying she's going to let this man hurt me like the others did. My body was covered in needle marks already.

"You are going to meet someone very special-", she paused as more tears dripped down from her face.

I didn't know how to respond. My mom just said i was a monster. I began to cry even more.

"Mommy? If their special-", i paused catching my breathe as if i have been holding it in. "Then,why are you crying so much?"

She went quite again as she stopped walking i walked into her on accident.

She slowly turned around getting in one knee infront of me. I stared her in the eye.

Her eyes was red from crying. Her hands and body was shaking. She gasped for air, "just promise me. No matter what happens-" She paused hugging me tight. "don't ever forget me-"

I was puzzled by her response. I looked up at her unable to respond.

"Promise me Kira",she said my name while holding onto my shoulders.

I looked up at her as it began to storm. Mom quickly stood up grabbing my hand as we began to speed walk.

My small legs was having a problem keeping up with me as i would stumble.

20 minutes later we arrive to a big mansion with a big fence surrounded it.

There was a man holding an umbrella above his head as it was raining. I look over at him. He instantly stopped my mother saying he can take it from here.

I looked over at mom who was clenching her jaw again as she slowly let my fingers slip though her hands.

I looked at her worried. What's happening? Why are we here? Why she let my hand go?

She slowly started to walk away. "MOM?! W-where you going?", I yelled out as i tried to reach for her hand but my arm was grabbed by the man behind me.

I kept screaming and crying out to her as she continued to walk away.

The man started walking me to the gate opening it as we went inside. I keep screaming and yelling till i could no longer see my mother.

Did she just leave me here?

We approach the big doors as the man opened it.

I slowly watched in as i bumped into a tall figure. I slowly look up to see a man with jet black hair and souless eyes.

The man spoke quietly and firmly, "This is The beginning."
