Ch.24: Fighting Father

(DNA by: Lia Marie Johnson)

Previously...

I was shocked and happy at the same time but more concerned to say the least...

Now...

"Masky!!" I said worried but happy

He ran off and somehow managed to get out of this dome thing. Once we were far enough he got into a tree. He set me down on his lap and I hugged him.

"I thought you were gonna die!" I said sad

"It'll take more than knives to do that." He replied

I let him go and turned to normal so it'd be harder for zalgo to find us.

"You fucking scared me too!" I complained

"Sorry." He replied

I smiled and hugged him one last time. I let him go and then looked around.

"Okay, now to get back home and get some kind of plan in action cause that argument with zalgo was getting awkward." I said

I rambled on about a plan and what we could do to get home safely. Thats till his hand made me look at him and he kissed me. My eyes widened from the sudden gesture and then he stopped.

"Shut up and lets just go." He teased with a smirk

He put his mask on and then took out my mask. I was just shocked but took my mask.

"I'm not gonna even say anything." I said and put on my mask

He chuckled and I jumped down to the ground. He jumped right after me and pulled me closer to him.

"Ej is dead for what he did once we get home though." He whispered

"I don't wanna hear about that, I just wanna go home please." I said

"Alright." He replied

He let me go and I looked around.

"I can maybe fly us home?" I suggested

"Zalgo would see us and sense you, its not an option." He replied

"Right." I said and tried to think of something

"What about we sneak around to the direction of home and hide when zalgo or rake are near. That way you get home safely and they don't take you." Masky suggested

"That...yeah that actually makes sense." I said," okay."

We headed off and snuck around trees and bushes. We stayed close to the ground as best as we could and then we heard rake growling. Masky pulled me back an behind a tree. He put his left arm around my waist like a hook incase I was grabbed.

"Its not rakes fault for making child angry! Its zalgos fault, he made child angry!" He complained

I shook my head and we heard him walking away. Masky took a peak on both sides and let me go. We continued off home and snuck out an about the forest. We then saw a clearing and masky grabbed my arm.

"We can't go through, we need to go around." He said

I nodded and we quietly went around. The ground then shook a bit and masky pulled me again, just like when rake was near.

"Zalice I know you are here." Zalgo announced," don't make this harder than it needs to be."

We stayed quiet and maskys arm held me a bit more tight. My back against his chest as I can feel his heart beating. It was racing really, but it shouldn't be? He's always calm and collected- well unless you mix in toby but toby isn't around here at all.
