Chains

Chapter 10: Will I Love Him?

I grabbed my Firemen Axe, Toby, and ran out the door. He trailed behind me insisting to know where I was taking him. I didn't answer him, I didn't want him to think that I was wrong to have picked Masky over him. I them slumped against a tree, while he was a few feet behind; and I cried. I cried my heart out,  I felt like shit. I wanted to telk Toby that he was right about Masky, that he used me. I heard footsteps approach me, and a heavy sigh. It was Toby. He sat next to me under the tree where Masky proposed to me. He then asked

"What are we d-doing out here?"

I looked at him, my makeup trailing down my face, I said as I placed my hand on the trees' base.

"We're here to kill the start of Maskys' lie, and my deceivingness. I shouldn't have agreed to marry him, I should've left him here in complete stupidity!"

"Why?" Toby asked

"Masky...I caught him in bed, cheating on me with Zero...He said that she came onto him, but I could tell that they both wabted eachother, so I left them alone... I hate them both. Not like I give a shit anyways..."

I stood up and swung my axe angrily into the trees' base, cutting a few inches into it. He stood up and chuckled as he saw me struggling to pull the axe back out. He grapsed the neck of the weapon, and pulled it out with no effort. I laughed and said

"Okay wise guy. Let me see you do your worst!"

I thrust the axe into his hands and watched as he took out the trees' base in one swing... half of that was because of me! I looked at Toby in awe... was I falling for him? No! T-That's crazy! I theb asked him

"Toby..."

He looked at me as he was beginning to take another swing inti the tree, even though it was already on the ground.

"Yes."

I breathed heavily and said

"Do you love me?"

He stood there looking at me like a deer in headlights. He inhaled sharply, and dropped the axe. I thought he was going to have a heart attack, he then calmly walked over to me, placed a hand on the side of my face, and without hesitation...kissed me.

I wrapped my arms around his neck, and kissed him back. Toby pushed me up against a tree, and continued to kiss me, harder this time. Then he stopped as a male voice screamed out.

"ASTRID! WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!"

I looked over to find the one and only Masky, or Timothy as Toby calls him, staring at me in complete rage! He said as he slowly drew near

"You...YOU THINK YOU HAVE THE PERMISSION TO LEAVE ME! YOU'RE STILL MINE, WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!"

Toby spoke for me

"S-SHE DOESN'T WANT YOU SO...SO...L-LEAVE HER ALONE!"

Masky walked up to Toby, even though Toby was 9 inches taller than him.

"She's mine Rogers...She loves me!"

Masky grabbed my arm, possibly to drag me deeper into the woods to beat me for "leaving me". I wouldn't move, something was holding me there, I followed the hand on my bicep to Toby. He was holding me back, and he was so strong! He looked so calm as he was holding me back from Masky.

Masky shoved Toby to the ground, and looked at me. He approached me in three steps and punched me in the jaw. If only I'd had one of Jeff's knives. I fell to the ground,  Masky then brought me to my feet by my neck, spun me around and yelled

"WALK!"

I didnt budge

He spun me on my heels and drew back his fist, I cringed and whipped my arms in front of my face, and waited for the strike to come.  I looked at Masky's shocked expression as Toby was inbetween us, Toby was holding Masky's fist in his hand with no effort of struggle. Masky swung his other fist towards Toby's face, connecting. Masky laughed at Toby's defeat, I saw a shadow pass into my view as Masky connected with Toby's face. I saw a mouth-guard...It was Tobys'.
