The Mask of Zeo
Reality
Kai groaned and woke up, slowly his eyes opened and he looked around the room.
"Gou..." he whispered.
Gou woke up and looked at his father, he was awake!
"DAD!" he yelled and hugged his father.
"Gou, it's good to see you."
"I never left your side daddy, I was so scared that you would die" tears of joy were falling from his eyes.
"Is Zeo still at large?" he asked Gou.
Gou broke the hug and sat down again, he nodded.
"Yeah he is but it's going to be better now that you're awake."
"Still weak as a kitten" fake coughs drove their eyesight to the door where Ray stood with pretend angry eyes.
"What do you mean 'weak as a kitten'?" the expression broke and Ray smiled, going over to the Russian.
"Okay, as weak as a young kitten, present Kitten very strong" he said.
"Much better" Ray knelled next to Kai.
"Ray! It's good to see you, I'm still weak, I might be for some time."
"The only thing that matters is that your finally awake."
"How long has it been?" he asked Ray.
"Four days."
"I've been out for four days?" he stammered.
"You've been here and never left my side?" he turned his attention to Gou.
"Yeah"
"I hope you have had showers and eaten properly."
"Yeah I have don't worry dad, I'm just so happy you're awake."
"Things are starting to go back to normal now dad's awake" but then he felt a strong pain and he blinked.
"How did I get on the floor?" he suddenly realized and got up and stared down at his sleeping father and then it hit him, it was a dream.
"You okay?"
"Yes, I'm fine Uncle Tala" he looked at his uncles.
"I just had a dream that my father woke up."
"He will wake."
It was now the next morning.
About ten minutes of silence later panicked footsteps were heard coming down the corridor, frantic breathing was heard, it was getting closer.
"I wonder who that is?" Brian asked.
"Why are they running?" Ian chirped in.
Then a figure appeared at the door.
"Ray, what's up?" Ray was panting hard.
"Tyson...stabbed" they stared at him unable to believe what Ray had just said and they did not answer, they stared at Ray like he was stupid or something.
"Didn't you hear what I just said? Tyson Granger has been stabbed by Zeo Zaggart!"
Tala got up.
"I'll go" he said.
Ray led Tala to Tyson's room in the ICU, it turned out to be Kai's old room.
Tyson was lying there, Makoto was next to him.
"Daddy, it's Uncle Ray and Tala" Tyson looked towards his friends.
"Ray, Tala!"
"When did you wake up?" the Neko asked.
"I just did" he replied.
"Does your injury hurt?" Tala asked
"No, not much, maybe a little stinging here and there, they say I might get out in a couple of days, tell me Tala, how's Kai doing?"
"Kai is still sleeping" Tala said.
"When I get out of here, I swear I'm going to kill Zeo."
"You're too weak."
"That's true."
"Yeah I mean when I get my strength back" he explained.
"You really want revenge don't you?" Tala asked already knowing what Tyson's answer would be.
"Yeah and Ray...thanks for coming back."
"See...I'm not a coward" Ray smirked.
"What, how could you know I said that, did Max or Gou say that I called you one?"
"No, I heard you say it when I was in the taxi going to the airport."
"That's just freaky" Tyson smiled.
"I guess that Zeo guy now thinks you have to be dead as well as Kai?" Tala asked.
"Yeah, but won't he be surprised, you can't keep a good guy down after all" Tyson smirked at his own words.
"Well your ego doesn't appear to be damaged!" Tala laughed to his words and Tyson just pouted.
"Or your sense of humour Tyson" Ray added.
"Is that a good thing?"
"I think so" Ray smiled down at his friend, the smell of death he smelled on Tyson earlier had disappeared, this was good and Tyson was to survive.
"You know for a minute, in your house, I actually smelt death but I can't now."
"You smelt I was dying?" he asked and Ray nodded poking his nose.
"Ray you have one powerful nose" the Neko nodded.
"I smelt it on Kai too."
"No Ray, he always smells like that" he laughed and earned a poke from Tala.
"I'm gonna tell him you said that" Tyson stared at Tala, his eyes bulging.
"Relax I know you're kidding" his face eased up and Tyson sighed.
Quickly he yawned and fell asleep.
"I'm gonna stay here with Tyson, you know your way back?" he asked and Tala nodded...he left quickly after saying his good byes to the two people who were still awake.
WARNING, this next part isn't for those who have just eaten or don't have strong stomachs.
A loud scream woke her up.
She was in a comfy bed in a posh room, pitch blackness around her.
Another scream made her more aware, it sounded familiar.
She pulled back the covers and got out of bed. Since the room was dark it was hard to tell where the lights were or for that fact a door, but luck was on her side as her good eyesight led her to the door.
The corridor too was dark and cold, she walked down it in her night gown and followed the screams that sounded familiar.
Down the corridor she walked barefoot, the air was heavy and dusty, she coughed to clear her lungs as she walked.
She never saw the cobweb she screamed and tore it away from her body.
"I hate spiders!"
"AAAAGGGGHHHHH!" that noise was familiar.
She broke into a run following the sounds of the screams that she was sure belonged to her husband.
Then she stumbled.
She heard crying and panicking, Ling appeared around a corner in front of her.
"Ling!"
"Mom, hurry, he's this way!" she got up and followed her daughter running through the pitch black spaces or the mansion.
"AAAAAHHHHH!" that sounded like Tyson.
"AAAAHHH" now Max.
"NO PLEASE DON...AAAAAAGHHHHH!" that was Ray.
"He's...AAAAHH!" that was Kenny, tears started streaming down Mariah's face as she ran, she heard the bone chilling cry of Hilary and Kai together.
"DAD, PLEASE WAKE UP...HEAAAAAA!"
"Gou!" she whispered
"Stay back, please...no..."
BANG, BANG, BANG.
Mariah blinked and Ling was gone.
She stopped dead, her breathing was hard.
"Ling!" she called out.
"Ling!"
"Daddy, please wake up!" she heard Ling but not seen her go through a door, there was a noise like an axe and a head rolled.
"I can see you Mariah...can you see me?" she stopped and looked around.
She saw something coming at her and she dodged.
"It appears you see that" it was Zeo.
"Where are you?"
Again, something was thrown at her and she dodged again, again and again.
"Come out you freak!" she yelled and the floor collapsed.
"AAAHH!" she coughed at the clouds of dust and dirt.
She looked around and she was in a corridor.
"Okay then...if you want to find me...follow your husband's blood" that sentence hit her like a ton of bricks, surely enough out of the dimness there was a trail of blood there.
She followed this until she came to a door.
It was open and she went in, it closed behind her.
Like the other rooms it was dark but this room had a nauseating feeling also the strong smell of blood.
"Welcome to the end Mariah" the voice echoed around the dark and now silent room.
"Where are you?" she called.
"Let's shed some light on this situation" light filled the room and she shielded her eyes for a second and what she saw made her freeze.
"NO" she saw, on the floor, a pile the bodies of her friends and husband.
Ling, Makoto, Gou, Kai, Ray, Tyson, Max, Hilary, Kenny, Lee, Gary and Kevin.
Mariah also noted who she recognized as Tala, Brian, Ian and Spencer lying in another corner all dead.
They all were dead, the floor was soaked with blood.
"Time for you to join them" then she saw Zeo, dressed completely in white, white clothes, white mask but what he wore was covered in blood splatter, the walls were also covered in blood.
Zeo pulled out a gun.
"Say hi to them for me" she tried to get the door open, it wouldn't budge.
She turned around and Zeo was in front of her.
"AAAAHHH!" she screamed.
"Bye" he pulled the trigger.
Her eyes opened, Ling was looking worried at her.
Mariah had a cold sweat on her skin.
She had gone back to bed after spending most the night with Ray.
"Ling..." she started crying and hugged her daughter.
"I was worried about you, you were screaming in your sleep."
"I had a nightmare, Zeo killed us all in a house" then she found something odd in the bed, it was a white mask, it had blood on it.
She woke up and looked around, she pinched herself to make sure she was awake, she was.
"I did NOT like this."
