Smiling Killing |Inspired By KILLING STALKING|

|Fifteen|

I didn't understand where we were going. Hours seemed to pass in the car, but after endless days and months stuck in the basement, the mere few hours didn't seem that much. It didn't make any sense though. The get up? The suddenness? What was this convention?

I had wanted to ask, but no one seemed to be in a mood to chat. And Do-Yoon looked just as confused as I was, but he wasn't complaining.

I wondered if he'd always been like that. Just went with the flow of what was happening and didn't mind that he did. Had he never fought back? Rebelled? I knew very little about Do-Yoon. He was my brother - half brother, really - with the same, insane genes of Hyung Ki. I wondered if our 'mother', not our real one, actually treated him well compared to me. Or maybe she hated the look of him, just like she hated the look of me. I hadn't seen that fat woman in over a decade. And I didn't intend to see her anytime soon.

I tried to pay attention to where we were going, but we turned down a dirt path outside the city in the middle of the bush and woods, and then I just couldn't keep track of where we were.

Ah Rin still seemed pissed at me. What had I done? Was I not suppose to talk to that boy, Ye-Jin? Oh god, maybe I said too much to him...I didn't know. Ah Rin was too complex to try and decipher. Even Min-Hyo, who had spent the most time with him, didn't understand her half the time.

I wondered what was going on inside her head.

Suddenly, I realised as the outside became dark, that we had driven into a tunnel.

A small tunnel, one that almost looked like a large drainage pipe, a few dim, scattered lights on the ceiling to barely light the way for us.

The darkness scared me though. I felt like we were being swallowed by a large, giant creature as we drove into the darkness. I turned to see Do-Yoon, eyes wide. He seemed to be scared of the dark than what I was. A lot more so.

Suddenly, I realised that wherever we were, we weren't any place good.

"Take off the dress" Ah Rin then told me.

I bristled, hunching my shoulders as both her eyes from the mirror were on me, and Do-Yoon's as well. I gulped. Slowly, I slid the dress off, dropping it on the floor of the car. I hugged myself as I sat there with only my black briefs on, biting my lip. My glasses perched on my nose, her gaze still on me told me that I had to take them off as well. I sighed, before I pulled them off, dropping them on the floor.

The car came to a stop suddenly, and then suddenly Ah Rin threw something at Do-Yoon and Min-Hyo. Do-Yoon blinked and stared at it in his hands, and I leaned over slightly to get a proper look.

A...mask...?

It looked thick, but slick, with two thick leather straps on the side which was what you strapped it across the back of your head to hold it in place. The mask itself was white, with only one eye hole, the other having a deep scratch over where it was supposed to be. What looked like blood splatter over it, and a simple, curved painted smile over it.

"What is this Eonni..?" Do-Yoon asked, just as confused as I was.

Min-Hyo had his own mask, which he slipped on as well, instead of a smile curved smile, his mask had one that grinned, showing its teeth,  the holes in the mask for the eyes small slits that made it looked like it's eyes were closed.

She slipped on her own mask, and as she turned to Do-Yoon, she had the same base of the mask - the white with the thick leather straps - but on it, the smile she had was from ear to ear, but covered with blood as if it was some sort of Chelsea grin, cut into the skin and bleeding out. The eyes were just rounded, black holes so you could barley see her eyes underneath her mask.
