Night Masks
My name is Hayden Bass. I love my life, parents, friends, and I love Spencer, my hard to love, annoying beyond explanation, twin brother. I never thought my life would change so dramatically, until that darkly wonderful night I met Blake Hawk.
So there I was lying on my bed, my mid-length blond hair kept getting in the way. I was reading Twilight, it wasn't as good as everyone said. Really it's kinda stupid, you know what are the odds she meets a vampire, who wants to eat her so badly, that he in turn falls in love with her. Then she gets hurt, then he goes and gets revenge, so on, and so on.
So there I am on my bed, in my favorite pink, cotton, plaid, pajama pants, and my pink 'my favorite cami' from JC Penny's, and my pink Ugg slippers. Yah , you can say I like pink. Well I think pink looks good on me.
I decided to take a quick nap. I laid my head down on the micro-fiber pillow, ring, ring, ring.
I picked up my iPhone, looked at the name. Sophie.
"Hallo, watchha need?" I asked.
"Meet me at The Cloud in thirty. wear a dress, and a mask is mandatory! It's a Masquerade!'' She said quickly, before I could reply, beep, beep, beep.
Meaning she had hung up, I guess I'd better get ready.
I ran to my closet and grabbed my brand new, never worn, D&G dress. It's red, it is strapless, a ruffled top, as it goes down it hugs my curves, at the waist it flows out to my knee. It is made of Egyptian silk. It is the most beautiful thing I ever saw, considering I saw it when it was finished, I had D&G design it personally for me. Still every time I see it, it takes my breath away.
Then I had a little lacy boob sweater over it. Shoes of course, Jimmy Choo, black three inch, with red rubies encrusted down the center. I have many masks from my family's trip to Europe. I ran down my steps to the basement, we had all the masks set up in a glass display case. I liked the third, the tenth, and the twenty-second. We have 31 in all. The third was a half-face, black, with entwining roses around the eyes. The tenth was a half-faced, made of red velvet, and small black feathers spread equally across the top. Last, but not least was the twenty-second mask. It was a half-faced, black velvet, with black diamonds on the outer edge of the eye, and on the very outer edge, with a black satin curtain like face cover, the curtain thing was connected to the mask on the bottom, and hung lightly down a little longer than my chin. Well I couldn't pick so I did enie-minie-mo. Mask no. three won. I threw the mask on, put my hair up in a bun, grabbed my imoish red, and black hand grasp, and took off into the night, driving my 09' onyx Ferrari.
I sped down Main St. towards The Cloud, a notorious club for popular people only. They have hot tubs, bars, swimming pools, anything you can imagine. It's there. I pullled up in the back lot, jumped out of my car, and threw my keys to the 'vallet guy.' Then i pulled out my iPhone, scrolled down the list, untill I got to Sophie's name. I tapped ' send text' on the screen, and started typing.
Hey i'm here meet me at the left end of the bar. kk see ya soon. XOXO, Hay.
I walked in slowly, I had to make an entrance. Everyone was staring at me in a wierd way, not an ' ohhhh, she's so pretty' way. What was going on? I saw Taylor at the bar. I decided to see if she knew what was all those freaks problem. I came up, and slid into the seat next to her.
"hey." I said to her. The second she looked up I knew something was definatly wrong.
" what's wrong?" I asked, carefully.
" You dont know yet?"She caid curiously, but I still sensed a bit of sadness in her voice.
" know what?'' I was getting nervous now. I grabbed Taylor's hand.
"Tell me, it's OK." I said calmly, even though my insides were churning.
" Izzi, she....... got kidnapped, or teennapped, I dont know, but shes gone. No one can find her, they found her car out at Mr.Lane's house, we all got the news like three hours ago. She went misssing last night." She said looking curiously at me, like I was stupid, or somthing.
"But, Sophie just texted me like twenty minuets ago." I said.
"She came in like ten minuets ago, and someone told her. She dropped her phone and purse and took off."She said.
All I could think was someone did'nt want Sophie, or I to know about Izzi, and I was gonna find that 'someone!'
I ran out of the club, trying with all of myself not to cry. I was so mad right now, but all the sadness I felt kept me from hurting someone, right now. When I found out who was messing with me and my friend's feelings, I was going to hurt them so bad that they'd wish they were dead. Right now I didn't recognize myself, I knew how scared everyone around me was, considering I probably had the look of death right now. I stomped through every puddle on the way to my car, hey it must have rained while I was in the club. I pressed the honk button on my keys to find my car. When I got to my car, I got in and just sat for a minuet, thinking of how why this was happening to me, well us. I felt like someone was watching, me or like they, it, whatever was like listening to my thoughts. It was the creepiest feeling ever.
Just then I heard a crash, and then glass was falling on me, and hands grabbed my shoulders, and I went flying upwards, but oddly the hands were still on my shoulders. OK, I was starting to freak out now. First my friend went missing, Sophie and I were her best friends, and WE were the last people on earth to hear about it, NOW I am being ripped out of my car, by someone who I have no idea who it could possibly be. AND IM NOT SCREAMING. I opened my mouth to scream, and the most interesting voice ever whispered in my ear, 'If I were you, I wouldn't." Then everything went blank, I am dead aren't I? I knew I was. All I could hear was a violent whisper, "Hayden? Hayden? HAYDEN? Omigod she's dead, I killed her, ohmy she's not dead I feel a heartbeat. OKKKK, YESSSSS its just an injury, Holy Crap, theres a piece of glass all the way through her body. AHHHHH, how am I gonna fix this?" some odd person talking to themselves, huh maybe I'm not dead, maybe that's a doctor, and I'm at a hospital.
Then another voice entered this conversation that I was kinda sorta in, but then again I was just listening so, I kinda wasn't in the conversation.
"You know what you can do, don't you?" A deep, kinda scary voice asked.
"no, no, no, no, no, NO, NO! its not gonna happen. I'm not gonna let you convince me to do something stupid again! I don't even know if she's the one I want!" hey what is he talking about, and why wouldn't he want me?
"Ok, well put it this way if you don't take her I will." Hey, I think I like the deep, scary voiced one, and he apparently likes me.
"Fine I'll do it." Ohmigosh do what, what's he gonna do?
"No you wont! You have three seconds, or I'll do it. One, two, threeeee. Ok, my turn." Then two pointed objects sunk into my neck, after that it was all LaLa Landish. All I knew was I was really happy. Hey it stopped, OW, quitit! I was being shook. I opened my eyes slowly with enough to see a hand covering my eyes. Then there was a object at my lips, it felt like a wrist, then a drop of something dripped into my mouth, from the wrist thing, it was the best thing I had ever tasted. if I make it out of this I'm going to bottle and sell this. Then it was gone too. Ok I was really sleepy now. Then I fell into a deep, fulfilling sleep.
