The Masque…
She sits on the bathroom floor.
Inside she is screaming.
Screaming, screaming, and screaming.
Her ivory skin covered by the flames of her fiery, red hair.
She would never let the others see her like this.
Her emerald eyes clouded with the mist of fresh tears.
The others and … him.
They would think she was weak. Re-living memories when you're meant to be concentrating on saving the world from the evil clutches of a psychopathic god of time…
And she the, 'weak one', was so pitifully pathetic that she was STILL upset about t-the d-death of her mother! What ever happened to moving on?
And just to TOP that, the one she loved the most, their leader, thought she was just stupid and weak, weak, weak!
He was right.
She was weak. She wanted so much to hate him but she couldn't.
She loved him.
She hadn't told ANYONE about the death of her mother or of her 'infatuation' with their leader…
She had kept everything a secret for so long that it was impossible to tell them now. They call her an orphan because her mother was dead and her father was in love with work and nobody else wanted her…
She had to keep hiding it, hiding herself…
She would have to smile brilliantly when supposed to, pretend everything was fine and if someone noticed just say she was tired or lost in thought.
She would have to act and put on a show, wear her mask as she had been for the last seventeen years…
She stood up on legs that had pins and needles, taking the few warm – up steps to the bathroom door. Her hand was trembling as she placed it on the doorknob, readying herself. Pulling the shattered pieces of herself together, she donned her mask leaving the safety of the bathroom and walking onto the stage of the lounge room where 6 smiling faces looked at her, the curtain rising.
"Sit here Theresa!" Atlanta called while laughing at Neil for pouting.
She prepared herself for the show she had to put on, the effort in her smiling while battling the pain ripping through her.
She smiled in response sitting down next to Atlanta.
Inside she faced the life she lived, so cruel and unfair, alone…
Well there you go! Hope you liked it! I've got a few more on the way as well as the fifth and sixth chappi's of "I'm Not That Girl"! Thanks for reading! And PLEASE REVIEW!
