Chains

Chapter 5: Does He Care About Me?

I was outside at 12:00, Midnight. I was on the roof so I didn't set off the motion sensors. Yes serial killers know how to operate Motion Sensors. I hate them so much, not the serial killers, the Motion Sensors. They are annoying, because when I let Smile out to "Pee" they burst to life, waking everyone in the house, except Jeff, he's always awake which is VERY creepy, or unless he sleeps with his eyes open??

I'd just finished crying when I heard a voice, a voice I hated.

"Astrid, what are you doing out here past curfew?"

I looked back, to see Masky looking at me from the window, I said as I sniffed

"None of your business, not that you would care anyways."

Masky climbed out onto the roof, and sat next to me with a sigh.

"Look I know I've been an asshole lately, but I have my reasons."

"Really? What reasons are those?!"

Masky gently grabbed my wrist and put a finger up to his lips.

"You have to be quiet, Astrid. Now can you tell me why you were really crying?"

I gently pulled my wrist fron his grasp, his hand slipped from it. I then said

"I was thinking..."

"About?"

"My family, and Toby."

"What about them?"

"I miss my family, they died back in 2013, when I was 13. That was breaking point, I was forced to live with my abusive Uncle. He beat me every night, when he'd had to much to drink. He didn't hit me if, and only if I got away from him, which was rare. When he found out that I left, he began looking for me, he still is."

Masky looked at the ground, then up at me, and said

"Oh...I'm sorry Astrid, I-I didn't know..."

I told him it was okay.

"Toby scares me, and when he kissed me I-"

Masky looked at me in complete disbelief, he looked...scared.

"He kissed you?! Did he do anything else?"

"Um... he asked me 'Do you like Waffles or Cheesecake more?'."

Masky then grabbed my hand and rushed back into the house, before we even got down the stairs. A fist came crashing down across Masky's face. I screamed as the figure pounced on top of me. I recognized him immediately, it was Toby.

He revealed a knife, and stabbed me in the gut. I then saw something on Toby that was never there, he had a necklace that had Zalgo's symbol. I felt the knife go into the same spot, I screamed

"MASKY!! HELP ME!"

Masky tackled the 'Anti-Toby' to the ground and began to stab it. The thing screeched like a banshee. I covered my ears with the strength I had left. The last thing I saw was that the creature morphed into someone, someone I didn't recognize, but it was someone Masky did. I guess Masky does care about me.
