A Little Bit Of Hell

Chapter 24

Ruth's POV

xxxxxxxxx

My vision spins from the force Masky hit me with, a cold pounding feeling drumming in my head, I can feel a thick, metallic liquid coming up my throat. Sounds are echoing and I honestly have to try my hardest not to pass out. I fumble my hand around, trying to find something to help myself up to standing. A cold hand grabs mine, and I grip the person wrist to help me up. I stumble I bit, and the person who helped me up grabs me, and pulls me back into their arms. As my vision clears, I see Ash shoving Masky back, and taking a few steps back. Confused, I look around and see Jack holding Rue, and the other girls huddled together, sitting on the table. I can feel the icy water dripping from Ben's hair and onto my hair and shoulders. The hooded boy is standing aggressively yet strangely calm, and Toby stands against the wall with his axe in his hands. "Fuck me." Masky mutters, moving his mask to the side to spit what looks life a mixture of blood and saliva. "Don't you fucking try anything, Masky." Ash spits, and glares daggers at the other two. Toby takes a few aggressive steps forward, and Jack pushes Rue to the side, meeting with Toby. "What the f-fucks this about?" Toby hisses, Jack and him (A/N what the fuck is proper English I'm five years old) go back and forth in hushed, aggravated tones, and Ben moves away from me, joining them. They're soon joined by the hooded boy, Masky and Ash. The hooded boy grabs the collar of Ben's shirt, pulling him forward. In response, Ben grabs his wrist, pulling him towards him as well, before the two could get any further, Ash smacks Ben across the back of the head and shoves the hooded boy backwards with force. If this were a different situation I might have laughed a little at the sight. "Don't even fuckin try, Hoodie." He hisses.
So his names hoodie
I think
Hoodie, Masky, and Toby
I strain my ears to hear even just a word of what they're saying. I feel slightly uneasy when I'm able to pick out the words "stupid" "sluts" and "kill them" I swallow hard, and continue to listen. Jack starts speaking, Ben imputing small things along with him, and although the six of them were talking in hushed, aggravated toned, the sentences that stood out to me in particular were Masky's scoff, followed by "If all you want is to fuck them, rape 'em and be done with it, don't fucking mess around like this. You two fucking around like this is going to fuck us all." Those sentences made me feel sick, like I was going to throw up. And dirty, just gross. Ash, Ben and Jack become visibly pissed, and Jack-who is the tallest here besides Ash-straightens up, and swings at Masky, his fist crashing into the side of his head. Toby grabs Jacks shoulder, and Masky swings back at Jack. Pretty soon they're both full fledged fighting, pounding each other's heads into the ground. I stare shocked at the two beating each other on the ground, with hoodie standing over them, occasionally kicking at Jack when he has a chance, or spitting at them both. Toby and Ben stand silently watching, completely emotionless (which makes it more amusing), while Ash tries to break them up. I actually do chuckle a little this time, because the scene reminds of something that would most likely happen at a High School. Eventually Ash manages to pull them apart, holding Jack by the hood on his hoodie, and Masky by the collar of his jacket. "If your gonna fucking fight, do it outside, not here!" He shouts, while simultaneously shoving Masky back and pulling Jack behind him. "And you three!" He says, pointing to Hoodie and that, "If you have a problem with this, walk away now and forget any of this happened. That way if the Operator finds out, you can keep your asses. But if you want to stay and figure something out, feel free! Don't try and start a motherfucking war in our fucking houses!" Ashes voice echoes, and everybody is completely silent, especially us girls. Never in the years I've known Ash has he ever raised his voice louder then average speaking, or heard him swear more then twice in one go. To my surprise, and apparently to Ben's amusement, the three boys that tried to fucking kill us a few minutes ago, don't leave. In fact, Toby takes a seat on the chair on the far side of the room, and Masky takes a few steps back, his hands held up a little and his head tilted down as if to say "ok, fine." Hoodie is just casually leaning against that wall in that creepy, calm way that seems to be his constant demeanour. Ash takes a few steps and shakes his head a little chuckling. "So look who's finally decided to cooperate." He smirks, holding his arms out. Even with the mask on, I can tell Masky rolls his eyes. "Don't fucking push it, Craft. We couldn't leave this even if we wanted to. We're in as much shit as the rest of you."
