Mask (pt. 4)

My mask moves as he flicks it and I look at the knife handle then tries to look up his arm but they presses the knife to my neck more and deeper. "Not so fast your not gonna get a good look at me til I get a good look at your insides." They says as he walks me to the bed and pushes me down on it and flips me over and ties my hands to the posts of the bed and goes and turns the light on and I see he is covered with blood a lot on this head and it goes down to part way down his gown and his knife is all bloody too. I look at the bed and see the black stuff on it is actually blood and I look around for a dead body but cant fine it, "Look up." He says and I do and i see a nurse hanging from a hook with her throat slit and her guts missing my eyes widen as I clench my fists. "YOU ASSHOLE HOW COULD YOU! WHAT DID SHE EVER DO TO YOU!?!?" I scream as loud as I can and then he slices me in the face and all goes red in my left eye as blood pours into it, and it stings from the blood and the deep cut that just misses my eye and the upper left part of my mask falls off exposing the top part of my head and my hair falls over the exposed part. "Uhg!" I say as I close my left eye, "Don't be so loud or you might wake up our next door neighbors...... assuming they are still alive that is." He says chuckling and leans over me and smiles moving my hair out the way looking at my deep bloody cut. "That's a nice looking cut, how about I now make a stab somewhere." He says as he raises up the knife and plunges it into my gut and pain shoots through me and I bite my tongue to not scream and he pulls out and stabs me over and over again.

 After stopping and standing up he licks my blood off his hands and laughs lightly and steps on the knife pushing it in deep, "AGH!" I scream and he punches me in the face hard shattering my mask and the shards cut into my face, "What did I say about making noises, I might have to cut out your tongue to make you quiet, or maybe your neck, or both I haven't quite decided yet to be honest." He says with a nasty grin on his face that is smeared with dry blood he reaches down and slowly pull the knife out and some blood drips off of it which catches and licks up. He smiles a bigger nastier smile and licks the knife and cuts himself in the process which he then spits out and gags some, "UH!!!!!!!!! THAT TASTES AWFUL!!!!!!!" He exclaims loudly and I watch him prance around the room cutting up everything he can, "Not a big fan of your own blood are you?" I say in a very sarcastic manner and he looks at me with angry eyes and throws the knife in my shoulder, "DON'T GIVE ME YOUR BULLSHIT REMARKS!!!!!" He yells at me then a knock can be heard on the door, "Who is it now?" Steven asks and a voice can be heard on the other side, "boss, we have a guest who would like to speak to you." Steven sighed and goes to the door, "Who is............" He starts to say as a gun pokes through the door and at his head and the door opens all the way showing another Yin Yang masked figure holding a guard. "YANG!" I yell and he looks at me and nods and throws the guard at Steven. 

Steven stumbles back and Yang hits him in the neck with the gun butt and he runs and tosses a pistol on my chest and i flinch in pain. "OW!! I still hurt there you know!" He shrugs as he cuts the ropes off my hands and I grab the pistol and point it at the guard who is reaching for his pistol and shoot him in the arm and leg. I sit up and blood pours from my wounds and I fall back down in pain and Yang and cuts the ropes off my legs and then Steven lunges at Yang and a shot goes off and a bullet comes out of Sevens back. "AH FUCKER!!!!!" He yells as the guard craws for his gun that skid across the room, I bite my tongue in pain as I scramble from the bed into the ground and slips on part of the bed spread and claws at the guns handle and gets it in my grip and points it at the guard and leans on one arm and the guard stops and looks at me. I look up and I dont see any movement from where Yang and Stevens are so I weakly stand up and the guard sees and opening and uppercuts me sending me in the air and I land on my head. The world spins for a bit then He guard grabs for my pistols but I wont let go so he twists my arms and I feel the pain shooting up my arm and I end up letting go of one gun that he grabs and turns to point at me but I stop his arm and a shot rings past my shoulder and I kick him in the chest which causes him to fall back.

I craw on top of him and hits him in the head with the pistols butt and he is knocked out and I run to Yang, "Yang are you ok??" I peak over where hes at, "Y-ya kind of, h-he got me in the a-arm and h-hes v-very heavy......." Yang says as he struggles to move Steven off of him, I help him off then I hear footsteps and the sound of guns clacking so I close the door and locks it and puts the bed near the door. I stop and look up at the dead nurse and sighed sadly and pulls her down and sharp pain hits me and I hand her to Yang before I fall to the ground. "GOD DAMN THESE STABS HURT!!!!!!!!!" I say as tears fall from my eyes, I hit the ground with my fist and wobbles to get up a bit then I hear pounds and yells on the other side of the door, then silence followed by a fury of bullets shooting through the door and me and Yang scramble behind a the bed and I look around. "Looks like we have to run or else they will break in, so you get Steven and ill grab the nurse." I grab the nurse and pick her up but falls over in pain and Yang starts to drag me by my collar, "Wait the nurse!" I claw at the ground trying to get away and he ducks down and shakes me, "Look shes dead we cant help her, I don't think she would want you to be killed over her, so lets get out of her we will make sure the police get her ok?" He asks and I look back at the nurse then slowly nods and crawls to the window and out it.

We slide down the side of the building using a pipe and the guards break in and run around the room one looks out the window and sees us. "Hey here they are!" He yells at his partners and he shoots at us and misses but the pipe bursts out steam in my face and I fall off it and smack into the ground and my head spins once again. Yang shoots back and drops down and starts to drag me as I drop in and out of consciousness. More guards shoot at us and Yang puts me behind a trash bin and I mean my head on it and passes out. After i wake up all is quiet and im alone Yang and everyone else is gone, "H-huh?" I say my vision blurry, I stand up and notice how white I am and sees a giant pool of blood and I limp to find some help. I notice a large amount of police cars at the hospital so I turn around and limp away back down the alleyway i was at and across the street. I pop up my collar to make it harder for people to see me. The farther I walked the more I realized people will have to see my face to be able to help me, so I sigh and stop walking and sit down in front of a shop. And people just pass me by, over and over again, as if I wasn't even there. More and more my blood pools around me and people just walk around it, one steps in it and looks down at me and yells profanities at me then kicks me and walks off. I was my color, blood and hope until I saw feet stop in front of me, reluctantly I looked up and saw a figure but the sun was making it hard to see who they was. "Here let me help you there young man." The voice said then he held out a Yin Yang mask to me. "First ill start by giving you back your mask."
