Who is The Man Behind The Mask? (a Cryaotic Love Story)

Chapter 5: "It wasn't always like this..."

(sixteen years ago, cry's P.O.V)

I can remember the day I found out Minx and Mark were expecting a child. Minx had come into the bar one day and annonced it to everyone. I was happy for them, Minx had talked to me before about how she wanted a child to take the throne one day. She also made me promise that I would protect the prince or princess with my life.

We all swore we would protect Eleanor long before she came into this world, but I was the most drawn to her.

When Minx was seven months pregnant she annonced to everyone that her and Mark no longer would be together.

They broke up beacuase Mark wanted to take they're child and raise it in the real world without the knolage of Victubia, while Minx wanted diffrently. Minx wanted their child to have complete knowlage of Victubia and for the child to have no knowlage of the real world at all. I agreed with Minx but I took no sides, I made sure that they both knew that.

Even though beacuase of my curse I couldnt go into the real world I made sure that I protected her to the best of my ablities.

So, here I sit. I wait in silence at the bar waiting for the news of the delivary. Minx began having contractions and ordered everyone to stay at the late night bar until we recieved news of the babys arrival. I keep pacing back and forth through the bar making everyone else anxios.

Russ was the first to notice my pacing and placed his hand on my shoulder stopping me dead in my tracks

"everythings going to be okay" he reasures me "the baby and Minx will be okay"

"but what about what I saw Russ! what if I'm right and Mark is going to force me to do the things I saw! I don't want to do that to a little girl!" I balled my hands into fist holding back tears. I had seen the childs future, and Mark was going to win this fight...

I was going to lose her.

Suddenly, a thought hit me. I turned to Ken "can I borrow a recorder?"

Ken nodded "sure, just don't break it" he tossed me a recorder and I walked outside. 

I looked up at the night sky, knowing that everything was about to change. I pressed the record button taking off my mask "hey there... yeah this me about... twelve hours or so before you're gonna be born... and I thought... maybe you'd want to see this when you're a bit older and... see how I was when I was a bit younger. cause odds are you're gonna know me when I'm older and more mature and all that other shit... sorry I cursed I don't know if you're allowed to do that or not. theres a lot of people who for some reason know of my igsistance and I guess I entertain them in some way or another... which is...honestly really cool" I paused tensing before my words could finally come out "I really hope I didnt change too much, I kind of like how I am now and... if I did and... you know I've come off the wrong way on you... I hope you can forgive me. Something might've happened or, you know... time changes people so I'm sorry if that is whats going on right now" I looked back gazing at the people inside the bar, laughing and enjoying themselves "but ah, you... kid. You got a big pair of shoes to fill... either way I'm... glad your around. I'm sure its going to be a lot diffrent, I'm sure it has been a lot diffrent. It's wierd talking about the future like this I don't really do that.

but ah, this is me... and you know what?" I smiled seeing the image of a little girl in my head, I see clearly our future and how happy she is

"you are gonna be the most spoiled kid you've ever known-"

Russ opened the front door "hey Cry, come on inside it's getting late!"

I smiled finishing my recording "take care squirt" I let go of the record button placing the recorder in my pocket.
