Life is a confusing thing. There are moments like deja vu, where you had seen the same thing 20 minutes ago. Moments that are awkward, like when your parents walk into a sex scene in a movie. But then there are moments like this. Moments where you can't believe what you have to say. Moments where you missed a little detail, or didn't realize what was going on. This is how I feel.
I just got back to the place I was supposed to save Molly from, and there's nobody here. WHERE WAS SHE? There weren't even signs of life ever being here, other than the crushed buildings and the giant ass wall. She was gone, and so were the masks. But where, and why? Why would a society build a giant city that looked like a tribal metropolis, just to destroy it and pack their things and run? Better yet, what were they running from? Not me!
I walked across the wasted landscape that used to be called the Society of Masks. It was a land of the dead. The further I walked, the worse it got. More bodies, more destruction. I couldn't imagine what would do this. I needed to find any clues of where they had gone.
I looked and found the tallest pile of rubble. Maybe I could see something from high up. I climbed and climbed. First on a brick, then a piece of rubble, and so on. I grabbed a vine hanging off of one of the pieces of brick. As I climbed it, my hands burned from the tiredness and fatigue of not eating. But I got to the top. I had too look around. First thing I saw off in the distance was sunset. It was getting dark. But then I saw the second thing in the distance. It looked like a mob of people. But instead of jumping, and rioting. They all sat there. Standing, watching a stage. I watched the stage and it was empty. The stage had nothing, and all these people were watching it. Then somebody walked out. A person that was short, stubbly, and old. The figure wore a hood and a dagger protruded from where its left hand should have been.
The next thing was brought out. It was a table, almost like the one the masks operated on. For all I knew, they had caught another victim. They dragged it out and set it in front of daggerhand. Then they brought out a vile of yellow liquid and a mask. They were turning someone into a mask. Great, just the show I needed to see after finding all the people. Daggerhands then raised its hands and said something. I couldn't hear it, but it stirred up something. The crowd went wild.
Then they brought out a person. Two men in masks dragged out a person in a hood. This person was small and no older then I was. The placed the hooded person on the table and strapped them in. Then they took off the hood. Time froze... It was Molly.
