My Short Stories

My Mask

"Everyone loves me." My mask says, confidently. I just nod, not wanting to get her angry, "You should be glad I'm here. If it wasn't for me you would have no friends." She says, smirking. I nodded. I knew she was right. If they knew who I really was they would leave me. I can't be alone again.

"You're right." I say, softly. Her smirk only widdened. I called her ugly, she called herself beautiful. I call her evil, she calls herself the best thing that has happened to me. Her name is Larvam. It means the mask in Latin.

"Hey Anti." My best friend Amicus, said. Larvam's smirk was turned into a smile.

"Excuse me. I have things to do." Larvam said, turning away to go talk to Amicus through the transferendum. It is something that everyone has but doesn't know about. It's what your countios uses to talk to people on the outside. I go to my normal corner. This was where I could think for myself.

"Hey Anti." Amelia, a voice in my head says. I smile. She's the only one who likes me at all here.

"Hey." I say, softly back.

"You need to push back. She's wrong and you know that." She says. I sigh. I already knew that was what she was going to say.

"I know but you know she will never go away." I say.

"What are you talking about? You just need to push back. To make her know that your the one in charge. This is your mind and she can't talk to you like that." She says, determindly. I smile, wishing that was all it took.

"I've tried that. But she still wouldn't go away. Well she did but then she came right back." I say knowing there is no way to get her out forever.

"Well if you won't get it through your mind that you can stop her, then I can't help you." She said, getting up. My eyes following her, but I said nothing and nethier did she. I hugged my knees to my chest.

'She doesn't like me anymore. I know this would happen.' I say, putting my head in my knees and start to cry. I wish that she wouldn't leave. Why does everything happen to me?
