The River

I was walking behind Masky through the woods. We were apparently going the normal way back according to Masky when suddenly he turns right and walks towards the river. I stop and stare at him confused. He sits down and begins to splash water onto his face and mask. "W-what are you d-doing?" I ask him in curiosity. He replies with "Washing off the blood.." I sit down next to him and still stare at him; he seemed so energetic back at the building but now he's so calm. He pulls out green clumps of powder and some white paper to create a cigarette with. Once he lights his cigarette I ask him "Are we going back now?" "You can but I usually go back at three in morning," He replies to me. I ask him in more curiosity "Don't you get lonely out here by yourself?" He looks over at me and says getting more annoyed "Go if you want but if you want to get stoned then I'll be happy to have someone with me." I look down at the river and say "I don't really want to get high but I'll stay with you so you're not alone."

After an hour you could instantly tell that Masky was to high for his own good. His eyes are red as if he was crying and would talk about random stories along with nearly falling in the river. He put his arm around my shoulder and his head on my other shoulder and says with a grin on his face "I haven't told you my real name or nothing have I?" Without waiting for an answer he says "I'm Tim! And you saw me murder about an hour or so ago.." After that he falls asleep on my shoulder, his arm still wrapped around me. I attempt to pick him up and after ten times I succeed. The smell of pot invades my nose causing me to splutter. Three hours later of walking round to find the building that monster took me to, I find a cabin. I use my elbow to open the knob and I recognise the room easily. I look around for Maskys room or find Hoodie to tell me which room is Maskys. After looking at the different rooms the one room that looked like Tim's is one with three masks hung up on the wall with a camera next to them. I place him in the single bed that has random splashes of blood on the sheets. I walk out and close the door, I turn around to see the white figure standing in front of me and asks "Why were you in Maskys room?" I reply with my voice shaking "He f-fell asleep in the woods so I b-brought him back.." The figure nods and leads me to my room. It has a single white bed with a pair of oak drawers. On the wall is a pair of orange-lensed steampunk goggles along with the same mask that Masky threw to me. 

I wonder what would of happened if I left Tim on his own..
