Looking up at the towering building that stood in front of us, I quickly take a step back in surprise. "Whoa." I whisper. The building was pretty tall with flashing lights everywhere.
"C'mon let's go." The Puppeteer says, signaling us to go inside. We all follow him and arrive at the front desk, skipping the long line for the next musical, Hamilton. (It's great, please watch it)
"Sorry sir, you'll have to go to the back of the line, unless your a VIP." The lady says, looking us all up and down with a bored expression. "Sorry but I'm not here to watch the show." The Puppeteer says as he unleashes his strings and starts to choke the poor woman.
"Hey! Stop that!" Mark and I shout, as security guards come from a room with weapons. The Puppeteer releases the strings and grabs all the guards, opening his mouth. Balls of white light come out of the guard's mouths and go right into the Puppeteers'. (Cheesy, right?)
Mark and I glance at each other in confusion. The Puppeteer then gulps down the strange lights and smiles. "Who's next?"
The lady already booked it, running out the doors and canceling the musical for everyone's safety. (If only we had more nice people that cared about others like that lady. Ya know what? Do your author/friend a favor and hug someone you know today.)
I shiver, reimagining the horrific scene over and over again. "Puppet, can't we do this another da-"
"No! We go now." He orders and leads us into the theater room.
We all follow The Puppeteer backstage, sneaking our way through all the props and costumes. We come across the Hamilton actors, and look at them in awe as they shuffle around in their brilliant clothing.
"Oh my! I'm want to wear that jacket!" I smile and whisper to Mark, pointing at a graceful blue jacket for men. Mark nodes and points at three girls in beautiful silky dresses. "Look at how pretty they are!" He squeals quietly, shaking his hands in the air. He always wanted to be in a 'real' play.
"Quiet! We aren't here to dawdle around and look at cloth scraps!" The Puppeteer whispers, irritated by our actions."Dirt, Raven, Sean, I want you to knock them all out. Now." The Puppeteer says to the three boys behind us. They all nod weakly and start to walk towards some guy with darkish skin, freckles, and dark brown hair.
"Do you think they can do that? To all of them?" I ask Mark. He shrugs and points at the man. "Look! He's already out!" Looking towards the handsome man, I see that he is already laying on the ground, out like a light.
The three boys walk back to us, standing in a single file line with straight faces. "Good job." The Puppeteer smiled evilly and starts to walk up to the stage.
"Let's dress you all up now."
"Yay!!" I scream and start to run to the costumes. As I got to the rack, I saw a funny looking man that had a crown on his head. "Nice hair." I laugh and proceed to flip through the clothing.
Y/n... what are you doing? Why are you so happy at a time like this? Your being held hostage with your best friend and now some puppet dude is ganna take over a theater. Do something!
"Be sure to pick out something manly! We don't want any damsels in distress for this play!" The Puppeteer shouts. "Is this ok?" I ask as I step out and show them what I'm wearing. The blue jacket, nice pants, and some black boots.
All the guys's mouths drop as I smile and laugh at them all. "You look so pretty!" Says the little blonde boy. "Oh thank you!" I beam and step in front of The Puppeteer, closing his mouth for him.
"Are you gay or something? I'm dressed like a man!" I burst out laughing. "You all look very nice too!" I say, looking at all the boys and their fancy clothes.
"Thanks y/n!" Mark smiles, taking my hand. "Let's go onstage." He says and leads me to the big velvety curtains. I take a deep breath and step out with him.
So much people! Dang all of them are getting ripped off...
I smile and wave, then I feel strings wrap around all my joints and start to take over. As this is happening, I see all the boys- should I say, Dirt, Raven, and Sean- walk out and all take a bow in sync.
Suddenly the lights go dim for the audience and I start saying sentences perfectly.
What the heck? What is even happening? Y/n do something!
After minutes of being controlled by strings, I quickly realize that Raven, the boy with black hair, was very close to my face. He smiled and blushed as he leaned in more. I move back in shock but the strings hold me down, making us practically kiss.
Everyone in the audience claps in tears, standing up suddenly. The strings part, leaving me with sore arms and legs. The Puppeteer steps out from behind the curtains and bows with us, then doing his demonic eating light thing.
It was like people were being possessed but I didn't want to watch it again, so I just went backstage to put my outfit away. I was surprised that Raven kissed me, and his blush and-
no y/n stop. Your being manipulated by The Puppeteer.
I see Raven walk by, staring at me and smiling. He comes over and stands in front of me, taking my hands in his. "U-uh." I stutter, looking at his eyes. "Hey I have to change, I'll see you in a few minutes." He smiled and walks off to the changing rooms, closing a white door. "Oh o-"
"Y/n!" Someone screams out from the audience, interrupting my response. "Doll! Please! Are you ok?" I hear another voice that sounded like a famous killer.
"BEN? Jeff?!" I scream and try to find Mark. "Mark! Come here!" I shout. "There's people shouting for you!" Mark panics and appears from a corner, I grab his hand, running on stage. "Mark they're here to save us! We need to get Dirt, Sean, and Raven out of here too!"
"You get Dirt and Sean, I'll get Raven, then bring them all here and we can escape!" I shout as I run off to the changing rooms.
"Raven! Are you here?" I call for him by the door he closed. "Yeah I'm here, hold on." He says quietly. A few seconds after, he opens the door, dressed in black jeans, a gray shirt, and some black sneakers. "We have to go! C'mon!" I grab his hand and lead him to the stage, meeting Mark with Dirt and Sean.
"Ok let's go!" I shout as I see BEN and Jeff jump up onto the stage and hug me. "BEN, Jeff! I missed you guys!" I smile and hug then back. "Uhhh guys we kind of have to escape right now." A voice says. I look forward to see Eyeless Jack knocking The Puppeteer out and swinging Puppet over his shoulder. "He was always weak when it came to me." He muttered.
I chuckled and started to run out of the theater, everyone following behind me.
Freedom, finally. And I've made new friends too.
Do something y/n.
