Time to go see Masky and Amity!

My eyes flickered open, god did my head hurt. I sat up and looked at my surroundings, I was in a forest but where was Masky? The last thing I could remember was fainting in the darkness of the cave so how'd I get here, did Masky bring me?

Oh no, the realization dropped onto me like a pound of bricks. Once I had fainted Masky brought me here and left, he had this all planned out how else would he know that I had a headache? I knew this would happen at some point in time, somehow. Nobody cares about me, I'm worthless. All the kindness shown to me was a lie; it was all just a joke. Why did it have to happen though? Even though I was only there for two days I felt protected and safe, even when Jeff got mad at me, for the first time in a long while I thought that I might be able to fit in. Amity your such a fool, you can't fit in with any family and nobody will ever understand you. You've gone through so much pain and sorrow its better if you never feel connected to anybody, you're broken.

But I thought that maybe just maybe they had wanted me to stay. For the first time ever I hadn't felt like a slave when I was asked to do something and I was asked to do something I knew it wasn't an order. Maybe if I had opened up the I could've stayed, maybe I could've joined their family even. NO! Amity you don't want anything to do with anybody because no one can love you. You don't need anyone in your life! Family is just a word and it doesn't mean anything other than a group of related people!

Yes, I am alone that's all I need and want; nobody wants to be beside a broken person either way. I will be alone until the day I die, I want to be alone. I am safe and comfortable by myself; nobody can hurt me when I'm alone.

Who am I? Tears slid down my face as I thought. Why am I hiding, am I really safe by myself, why do I keep on fighting myself?

"AMITY!" Masky's voice split through the forest. "Holy great Zalgo I am so sorry!"

I saw Masky speeding towards me and the next thing I knew he was cradling my small body.

"I'm so sorry." Masky continued. "I forgot to tell you that once the portal works we might get separated from each other or that you might faint before we even make it to Earth. Can you forgive me? I never meant to scare you Amity."

"I'm o-okay, I can f-forgive you." I replied I felt so warm inside, Masky never meant to leave me. Maybe they didn't want me to go; maybe they wanted me to stay!

As A Slave I thought bitterly. Remain close to yourself, just listen to yourself Amity. There is only one person you can trust and that is yourself, don't go around trusting people you'll just get hurt again.

"Were you crying?" Masky asked after he helped me up.

"Wh-whats it m-mattter t-to you!?" I snapped.

Masky raised his hands to show that he meant no harm and in an instant I felt bad. I didn't want to snap at him.

"I'm sorry, it's j-just that I th-thought you were t-teasing m-me. I didn't m-mean to get a-angry at y-you." I apologized.

"It's okay Amity. I suppose I shouldn't have asked some people are sensitive about stuff so I guess I should be more careful when I ask questions, right?"

"Y-yeah I guess."

It got silent for a few awkward seconds. Masky stared at me and I looked down at the roots by my feet in order to avoid his gaze. I could feel my skin burning up in embarrassment; could we just start whatever it is we're doing already?

"Uhh so, w-what are w-we d-doing Masky?" I coughed.

I'd be very happy if you'd drop a comment! :)
