Prologue:

"NO!" Came a shriek and the sound of footsteps hurry with the same destination in mind.

Hilda felt glad that she had hidden some weapons on her wrists that she used to escape her bindings. She swipes at any of the three that get too close as she is doing so to keep them at a distance as she frees her ankles. She drops to the floor and hears the three move closer so she moves one arm out in a swipe almost hitting two of them causing them to back away again. Her eyes dart around as she plans on a way out. She knows that it won't be easy but at the very least she should try to get somewhere where someone can hear her call for help. She keeps the hidden blades raised to make sure that the three don't charge for her. She doesn't want to kill them but she will if she has to in self defence. She dashes for the door and she hears the footsteps of the others chasing after her.

"Don't let her get away!" The Mad King shouts as they all knew what would happen if she does escape... It should be obvious.

Which is why that cannot happen.

Hilda bursts through the door as her fear makes her run faster like a shot of adrenaline pumping through her veins. She begins to scream. "SOMEONE! ANYONE! HELP! CALL THE AUTHORITIES!" She screams hoping that someone would hear her. She doesn't want to look back as she can still hear the three chasing after her. "HELP ME!" She screams and she heads for the back door only to have it blocked by X-ray.

X-ray doesn't look like his usual self though. He had changed into the outfit he uses when he does what he does with the other two. His outfit looks like a redone version of the X-ray suit. It is red where the green used to be, black is still in the same places though his cape is now also black, the X-ray symbol is replaced with a white circle that has a rose in the middle and finally on his head is a crown like the Mad Kings but at the end of the lightning bolt like hole is an engraved rose.

He was already wearing this when Hilda had awoken.

Hilda runs towards the front door and she runs past Rusty who almost catches her.

Rusty is wearing a crown similar to the Mad Kings but at the end of the lightning bolt hole is an engraved beer bottle.

Hilda manages to get there before any of the others do. She bursts through and notices a two cop cars parked on the street talking to an older lady across the street. Her wounds begin to remind her that they are still there as they sting but she pushes herself onwards heading straight for the police. "Please help me!" She calls getting their attention. "The ones who did this are in there! The basement is where it all is!" She points to the building that she had just come from. She didn't want to look back in fear of seeing the three that had tormented her not long before now... Two of which were her friends...

Three of the officers race into the building that Hilda pointed out and they pin the three before they could do anything.

The fourth officer calls for an ambulance as she checks on Hilda's wounds.

Hilda shuts her eyes tightly and brings her arms up to cross over her chest like someone trying to curl into themselves. She tells herself that it's all over now.

The officers hand on her shoulder makes her jump but she looks only to see kindness in the officers eyes. "You're safe now." She tells Hilda.

Hilda really does hope that this nightmare is really over.

AN:

A fun fact followed by a warning!

This can be read as a standalone story but what has happened before is the story We're all Mad here , that you can find on my profile.

Just a little fun fact.

Also WARNING this is rated M for yaoi and dark themes that can get very dark please remember that.

There is a mixture of written on my computer and written on my phone so hopefully I caught any autocorrects.

Hope you are enjoying so far.

Reviews are awesome and flamers will be used to make cake!
