I got off the pile of junk, showing lightning speed and athletic dexterity. I jumped off a broken hovercraft that was 10 or 15 feet off the ground and hit the ground running. I tucked into a roll and sprinted towards the crowd. I didn't pace myself, and flew through the buildings, quicker and quicker for each step. I went through giant streets and even a few narrow alleyways, dodging pieces of broken building and shingles from the rooftops that fell every step I took. I must had almost been there at the 2 minute mark. But hopefully that wasn't two minutes too soon. I couldn't hear anything or see anyone. It was hard to know if I was even going in the correct direction. Then it finally hit me. Maybe I should get caught too.
It was fool proof. I mean, yeah, if I didn't get myself out of the bindings of the table or get away from the guards trying to save Molly, I was screwed. But on the other hand, if I did get away, Molly in arms, then I would be the hero for once. Not the victim of some nightmare. I had to try.
"HEY!!! MASKS!!! COME HERE. FREE DINNER." (Looking back on what I said. What was I thinking?) They did come. First I heard a bunch of stomps coming my way, all in a giant flood of people. The next thing I knew, I was surrounded by the masks thugs. "You guys are quick."
The next moment was one that I had lived over and over again in the dream about police catching me murdering someone and stamping my head on the ground. They grabbed me, flung me towards the ground and pig piled me. I was the bottom to a stack of Masks. They then picked me up and carried me out.
We walked slowly, making no hurry of ourselves. Then I saw the crowd of Masks, watching me, all with their staring eye-holes filled with blackness. They parted ways, watching me as I was brought up to the stage. Each little mask, following me up. I walked towards the stage, and then they flung me onto it and let me go. I mean, its not like I was going to run right now. They knew why I was here. I got up on stage, un-attended to and watched. I walked towards Molly, just to see if I wasn't lured here by a dummy or something. Sure enough, it was Molly. (Molly with no mask, PHEW, that was close) I then looked at the figure in the black hood, and it looked back at me. Then in a quick motion, it brought up a finger and waved it at me, like a come here gesture. The finger was bony, like the thing that had grabbed me back in the fire. For all I knew, it was the thing that grabbed me at the fire.
I walked over, not sure whether this thing was going to grab me, or just let me be. I mean, I was probably screwed anyways. I stopped about 6 feet away. Then I looked at the figure. It raised its head and looked at me. "Welcome to the Society of Masks friend. Hope you enjoy the show." I heard this and looked at the face in the hood. That's when I nearly shit myself. It was the witch.
